for employees, customers, and visitors,
Byrne & Jones has established a workplace safety program. This program is
a top priority for Byrne & Jones.  Our Safety Director
has responsibility for implementing, administering, monitoring, and evaluating
the safety program. We believe its success depends on the alertness and
personal commitment of all from our President to our laborers.
to employees about workplace safety
and health issues through frequent internal communication channels such
as supervisor-employee meetings, bulletin board postings, memos, or other
written communications. The training covers potential safety and health
hazards and safe work practices and procedures to eliminate or minimize
hazards. A labor-management safety committee, composed of representatives
from throughout the organization, has been established to help monitor Byrne
& Jones' safety program and to facilitate effective communication between
employees and management about workplace safety and health issues.

Those with ideas, concerns, or suggestions
for improved safety in the workplace are encouraged to raise them with their
supervisor, or with another supervisor or manager, or bring them to the
attention of a member of the labor-management safety committee. Reports
and concerns about workplace safety issues may be made anonymously if the
employee wishes. All reports can be made without fear of reprisal.
Each employee is expected to obey safety rules and to exercise caution in all work activities. Employees must immediately report any unsafe condition to the appropriate supervisor. Employees who violate safety standards, who cause hazardous or dangerous situations, or who fail to report or, where appropriate, remedy such situations, may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
In the case of accidents that result
in injury, regardless of how insignificant the injury may appear, employees
should immediately notify the Safety Director or the appropriate supervisor.
Such reports are necessary to comply with laws and initiate insurance and
workers' compensation benefits procedures. |
