Along with other responsibilities, safety consciousness must always exist in your thinking and planning to achieve a Zero Injury Safety Culture. Because of this obligation,you must not only prevent obvious unsafe acts on the part of those you work with,but you must anticipate potential hazards as well.All employees must recognize that working in an unsafe manner is counter-productive.Most important,each employee is encouraged and empowered to stop and take corrective measures if an unsafe condition is identified and demonstrate leadership ability by setting a good example. To make our approach to safety more effective and uniform throughout the organization,each employee receives our safety manual outlining our Safety Program and Safety Commitment. We feel this will be a useful tool to help in understanding and implementing our mutual responsibilities. 1.2 Statement of Policy/ Zero Injury Safety Policy It is the policy of Iron Woman Construction to strive for the highest safety standards on our projects. Safety does not occur by chance but rather achieved through planning and dedication. Employees at all levels must work diligently to execute the company's policy of maintaining safety and health and developing a Zero Injury Safety Culture. Iron Woman Construction's safety program has been developed to assure compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations with particular emphasis on the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA). It is the obligation of all employees to be knowledgeable of the standards established by these agencies and to implement the rules and regulations contained. Regard for the safety of the general public,our own employees and the employees of our subcontractors and other contractors is a responsibility shared by all levels of our organization. We intend to prevent any human suffering.Accidents,even minor ones,cause pain both physical and mental. Prevention of injury and illness is a condition of employment. Every member of this project team has specific safety responsibilities. These responsibilities begin with the project manager and site supervisor and extend to the foremen and crew levels. The Iron Woman Construction Company Safety Manual is incorporated by reference into this Site- Specific Safety Plan.
