Mission:
Prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths
by issuing and enforcing rules (standards) for
workplace safety and health.
OSHA:
• Requires all employers to
provide a safe and healthy
workplace for employees

are unpredicted and
unannounced - we must
always be in compliance
EPA
Environmental Protection Agency
• Congress writes the environmental laws; EPA
writes regulations to implement the laws.

adopt stricter standards
than the national
standards set by the EPA.
DOT

Safety training
Many training
programs require
performance
evaluations.
• Do not sign a
performance evaluation
unless you agree that
you have been trained
and understand your
responsibilities when
performing the task.
Safety begins with YOU!
Accidents and injuries can happen to anyone,
no matter how many years on the job.
The keys to prevention are:
• Awareness of your work environment
• Respect for the potential job hazards
(such as sharp tools or running
equipment)
• Following safe work
practices in every job
task you perform
• Complying with the
company EH&S
policy.
Safety begins with YOU!
Each of us is responsible for our own safety as
well as the safety of others.
• Report any unsafe conditions to your supervisor
immediately.
• We have a concern for employees and their well-
being both on and off the job.

This goes much further than compliance!

Safety begins with YOU!
Follow the chain of command.
If you ever feel that an unsafe
condition is not addressed
appropriately or timely
Safety begins with YOU!
Safety committee
• Consists of employee representatives
• Discusses health and
safety issues and
collaborates on solutions
• Provides feedback on
hazard analysis, PPE,
accident investigations
and corrective actions
• Contact your manager or
the Field Support
Manager, Ryan Case for
more information
Right to refuse dangerous work
Dangerous work: hazardous
condition which presents a risk of
death or serious physical harm

Right to refuse is protected if:

• You asked your supervisor to eliminate
the danger & they failed to do so
• Your refusal is in “good faith” – you
truly believe a danger exists
• A reasonable person would agree
there is a danger of death or serious
injury
• There is not enough time to correct
the hazard through regular channels
Right to refuse dangerous work

Take the following steps:

• Ask your supervisor to
correct the hazard or assign
other work
• Tell your supervisor that
you won’t perform the work
unless the hazard is
corrected
• Remain at the worksite until
your supervisor tells you to
leave
