GENERAL PLANT SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY Policy Objective: Zero Injuries, Illnesses and Incidents
1.A Policies
1. The plant will be operated in a condition that will not risk incurring injuries or illnesses to personnel, adversely affect the health and safety of the community or negatively impact the environment. Employees are personally accountable for preventing injury and illness to themselves and their fellow workers, and for protecting Company assets. Acceptance of this full safety responsibility, personal alertness and following plant safety rules is job requirements. Each of us can fulfill our safety responsibility by personal commitment to make safety thinking and protective action a pre-requisite for any other action or activity that we do. The employees immediate and future health and well being is the first priority guiding all decisions (including medical treatment and incident investigation) Going to medical and/or reporting a suspected injury or illness does not imply that the employee or their Managing Resource has done anything wrong; or that a violation of a safety rule or procedure has occurred. Investigations of all such reports will be done to identify root cause and prevent recurrence of the injury or illness. Every injury/illness, no matter how minor, will be addressed because the employee's immediate and future health is a top priority. A minor injury or illness left untreated increases the potential of becoming a serious health risk to the employee.
