Disciplinary Policy

The following is a guideline of disciplinary action for safety infractions. These actions will
not necessarily be implemented progressively. Disciplinary action taken will be
consistent with the seriousness of the infraction.

Level 1

In the opinion of the supervisor, the violation is of a minor nature and one which
does not directly endanger the well being of any person at the workplace.

Disciplinary action will consist of a mandatory discussion with supervisor

regarding the violation.

The supervisor will document violations resulting in a verbal warning.

Level 2

A written “Notice of Infraction” will be issued where, in the opinion of the

supervisor, the violation is of a major nature, one which will directly endanger the
well-being of any person at the workplace.

Disciplinary action will consist of a mandatory discussion with supervisor

regarding the violation and possible suspension. Disciplinary action for Level 2
infractions may be altered. Workers will be notified verbally and in writing of any
alterations.

Repeated violations of this nature will lead to suspension and possible

termination.

Level 3

A written “Notice of Infraction” will be issued where, in the opinion of the

supervisor, the violation is life-threatening to one or more individuals on site.
