Safety Policy.

Our Occupational / Workplace Health and Safety Policy helps us preserve the best possible work conditions.

Every employee has a right to feel safe at work. Our company is committed to follow legal standards and create

a hazard-free workplace. There are two aspects to consider when establishing an Occupational / Workplace

Health and Safety Program: Preventative Action and Emergency Management.

Preventative Action

Preventative action is any action we take to avoid injuries or illness related to workplace conditions. We’ll

conduct periodical risk assessments and job hazard analysis to discover what is likely to harm employees. We’ll

establish preventative measures accordingly.

Potential threats and dangerous situations include but are not limited to:

  • Performing tasks on heights, scaffolds, ladders and other unsteady structures

  • Chemical substances (toxic, flammable etc.)

  • Operating dangerous equipment

  • Slippery or uneven surfaces

  • Electrical infrastructure

  • Noise/temperature

  • Quality of air

We’ll take the following preventative measures:

  • When employees work in dangerous contexts or locations, we’ll make sure there are safety precautions

  • like safety nets and ropes.

  • We’ll provide protective gear like gloves, protective uniforms, goggles etc. Using safety equipment is

  • obligatory.

  • Inspectors and quality control employees will inspect equipment and infrastructure regularly

  • We’ll hold employee training sessions in health & safety standards and procedures.

  • All highly dangerous job tasks require at least two employees to be present

  • Exposure to chemicals and radiation will not exceed a certain time limit

  • Employees who do repairs or cleaning need to put up caution signs

  • We’ll prohibit smoking indoors

Also, we’ll enforce a substance abuse policy to protect employees from colleagues’ misconduct.

Emergency Management

Emergency management refers to our plan to deal with sudden catastrophes like fire, flood, earthquake or

explosion. These depend on human error or natural forces.

Our emergency management involves the following provisions:

  • Functional smoke alarms and sprinklers that are regularly inspected by [maintenance supervisor]

  • Technicians (external or internal) available to repair leakages, damages and blackouts quickly

  • Fire extinguishers and other fire protection equipment that are easily accessible

  • An evacuation plan posted

  • Safety exits that are clearly indicated and safe

  • Fully-stocked first-aid kits at convenient locations

We’ll also schedule fire drills and emergency evacuations periodically. We will monitor performance of health and

safety procedures and will revise them to ensure higher level of protection.

Incident Reporting

Employees are obliged to report any of the following:

  • Fatalities

  • Damage to the head, skull and face

  • Damage to any of the senses (e.g. partial or complete loss of hearing, sight etc.)

  • Incapacitation or dislocation of limbs that hinder functionality and movement (including paralysis and

  • amputation)

  • Damage to the skin (e.g. extensive burns, bruises or cuts)

  • Blows or injuries to the spine, back and ribs

  • Harm to the nervous system or loss of consciousness through electrocution, hypothermia etc.

  • Poisoning

  • Contamination from hazardous substances or transmission of diseases

  • Any other injury that requires hospitalization or medical care

Especially when an employee needs medical coverage, the accident must be reported immediately since

insurance benefits may have to be approved after the investigation.

Report all such incidents to your supervisor.
