Additionally, Supervisors will be concerned about the safety and welfare of employees. Consequently, if a Supervisor observes a hazard or safety compliance violation in an area outside of his or her direct authority, he/she should report this to the Supervisor in charge of the work area, and then to the Safety Coordinator.

If the hazard or violation presents an IMMEDIATE DANGER to life or health, the Supervisor observing the danger shall INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY to the extent necessary to prevent injury or harm to persons without causing danger to him/her self. THIS IS THE PRIMARY AND OVERRIDING PRIORITY!   Preventing damage to company facilities and/or property is a secondary priority. Therefore, any hazards requiring abatement which are outside the Supervisor's authority and/or ability to correct or eliminate, will be immediately reported to a Safety Coordinator and/or designated Competent Person.

Supervisor safety performance is part of their overall performance evaluation. Their job responsibilities include:

• Ensure compliance with company safety rules and regulations through daily supervision of workers. Take corrective and progressive disciplinary action to ensure employee compliance with safety policies.

• Conduct and/or assist in safety indoctrination and training for New Hires about division safety practices and potential hazardous conditions within the assigned work area. This includes ensuring that Personal Protective Equipment is either issued or available to New Hires and they are properly trained in its use. 

• Conduct and/or assist with ongoing safety indoctrination and training for employees; and provide additional safety training for employees reassigned to new duties. This means making sure that employees have received required safety training BEFORE they begin performing duties in the Company workplace.

• Report and, if possible, correct unsafe conditions anywhere they are observed in the workplace. Request corrective actions through higher levels of supervision when the required correction is beyond his/her authority or ability to correct.

• Ensure that all accidents, injuries and "near misses" are reported by employees. Be sure that the injured employee completes the First Aid Report form or Employee's Report of an Injury form as soon as possible and appropriate.

• Investigate reported accidents and "near misses". Complete the Supervisor's Report of an Accident form, documenting circumstances relative to all recordable injuries.

• Ensure that all injuries are promptly treated by first aid. If the employee requires attention by a doctor (non-emergency), ensure that he or she is taken to the Company's designated primary care physician or hospital emergency room. 

• In emergency situations, alert and cooperate with the local Emergency Medical Service and/or Fire Department. Inform one of the Safety Coordinators immediately.

• All Supervisory personnel shall work at all times to develop and support safety consciousness and maintain a cooperative attitude among employees about safety.

• All Supervisory personnel should set an example by wearing required Personal Protective Equipment and complying with the safety policies, procedures, rules, regulations and orders outlined and hereafter set forth in this program. Supervisory personnel who fail to demonstrate, support, or comply with the Company's endeavors to maintain a safe and healthful workplace environment will be subject to disciplinary action.
