| | Mission | | To provide a work environment such that every employee returns home at the end of their shift in the same condition in which they arrived. |
|
| | Providing safe working conditions is a major responsibility of every City supervisor. unsafe acts or conditions cause accidents, and both of these are under the supervisor's control. Unsafe working conditions can be minimized by identifying the hazards, correcting unsafe work practices, and using proper equipment.
Management selects qualified personnel, trains them to work in a safe manner, and provides supervision to ensure compliance. In each of these areas, management will maintain positive control toward prevention of unsafe acts by employees. If an accident occurs, the most important factor in accident investigation is to determine how to prevent a recurrence of the accident. The Office of Risk Management should immediately be made aware of any safety hazards or potential hazards.
Occupational Safety and Health regulations that are applicable to all City departments are contained in the Safety Manual which will be posted on this website. The various departments may have other safety rules that apply to the particular operation.
All safety rules and regulations, both City-wide and departmental, are to be carefully observed so that employee accidents and injuries may be kept to a minimum. |
