Management commits the necessary resources of staff, money, and time to ensure that all persons Dn the work site are protected from injury and mness hazards. In addition, manage visibly leads in the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the site's safety a d health activities. Specifically, the highest level management establishes and reviews annually the site's. safety -and health policy and ensures that all employees know, understanct, an support that policy. All management levels, with input from hourly employees, develop aannual safety and health goal with objectives and action plans to reach that goal. At the enD ; each year aU management levels, with input from hourly employees, evaluate progress . accomplishing the action plans, achieving all objectives, and meeting the annual goal. Th'~ evaluation, which also includes an evaluation of the overall safety and health program, results i a written report that includes the next year's goal, objectives, and action plans, including an, remaining action needed to accomplish the current year's goal. Management ensures that all employees, including themselves, have clearly written safety an health responsibilities included \Nithin their job description, with appropriate authority to carry' 0' . those responsibilities. Also, management ensures that all employees, including aU levels management, receive performance evaluations that include a written evaluation of e accomplishment of assigned safety and health responsibilities. Management ensures that aU visitors to the site, including contract and temporary labor, 00students, interns, vendors, and sales people, have knowledge of site hazards applicable to the and how to protect themselves against those haz:ards, including emergency alarms a procedures. Management also ensures that these visitors do not introduce to the site hazar s that can be prevented or that are not properly controlled. Management ensures that at least several avenues exist for employee involvement in safe and health decision making and problem solving. These avenues may include serving 0 committees and ad hoc problem solving groups, acting as safety observers, assisting in trainin other employees, analyzing hazards Inherent in site jobs and how to protect against those hazards (writing JHAs), and planning activities to heighten safety and health awareness. Management encourages employees' involvement and devises appropriate recognition f outstanding employee participation.

Management hires outside consultants as necessary to conduct baseline surveys that identify all safety and health hazards at the site at the time of the survey. All hazards found during these surveys are eliminated whenever possible or controlled. All employees who may encounter the controlled hazards are trained in appropriate job procedures to follow to protect themselves from these hazards. Management establishes change procedures to follow whenever the site experiences changes in equipment, material, or processes. To ensure employee protection, these change procedures include consideration of safety and health in the selection of the change, equipment and process shut down procedures, start up procedures, and phase hazard analysis. Appropriate employees are trained to follow these procedures. Management and employees work together to analyze safety and health hazards inherent each job site and to find means to eliminate those hazards whenever possible, and otherwise protect persons against those hazards. These job hazard analyses (JHAs) are revised appropriate, for example, following a change in the job, the reappearance of a hazard, or accident at this job. in to as an

All employees at this site are trained to recognize hazards and to report any hazard they find to the appropriate person so that the hazard can be corrected as soon as possible. In addition to taking immediate action to report a hazard orally and to provide interim protection, if necessary, including stopping the work causing the hazard, employees may submit a safety work order to the maintenance department, or they may submit a safety suggestion form. Safety work orders take priority over any other work order. Safety suggestions will be considered each week during the site inspection by the site inspection team. All employee reports of hazards must be eventually written, with the correction date recorded. These reports are posted in the lunch room until the hazard is corrected and then are kept on file in the owner's office for three years. During that time they are available for employee review. . Site management, with input from an hourly employee chosen by lot, organizes the monthly site inspection team. Membership on these teams rotates each month with the goal that all site employees serve one month each year. Teams consist of four people, two managers or supervisors and two hourly employees. Each week, at the beginning of work on Wednesday morning, the team inspects the entire worksite, in writing describing all hazards found, including their location. The team assigns appropriate persons responsible for seeing that the hazard is corrected and documenting the date of the correction. These inspection reports are posted in the lunch room, in the maintenance shop, and in the owner's office. A hazard remains on the monthly report until it is corrected. Any near miss, first aid incident, or accident is investigated by the trained team selected each year by the owner and an hourly employee. The team consists of two managers or supervisors and two hourly employees, each of whom has received training in accident investigation. All investigations have as a goal the identification of the root cause of the accident, rather than assigning blame. All accident reports are posted in the lunch room and are open to comment by

any employee. The accident investigation team assigns responsibility to appropriate employees for correcting any hazards found and for assigning a date by which the correction must be comp+eteel. As part of the annual safety an<::! health program evaluation, the site owner, a manager, and an hourly employee review all near misses, first aid incidents, and entries on the OSHA 200 Log. as well as employee reports of hazarels, to determine if any pattern exists that can be addressed. The results of this analysis are considered in setting the goal, objectives, and action pians for the next year.

Management ensures that the this priority is followed to proteet persons at this site: (1) Haza will be eliminated when economically feasible, such as replacing a more hazardous chern' with a less hazardous one; (2) Barriers will protect persons from the hazard, such as mac' i e guards and personal protective equipment (PPE); (3) Exposure to tlazards will be control through -administrative procedures, such as more frequent breaks -and job fot-af ,_ Management ensures that the worksite and all machinery is cared for properly so that environment remains safe and healthy, If maintenance needs exceed the capability o' worksite employees, contract employees are hired to do the work and are screened supervised to ensure they work according to the site's safety and health proced ~-. AU employees, including all levels of management, are heldaccGuntab!e for obeying site sa:::: , and health rules.

If his decision differs from the committee, he may, .: confidentiaily strictures, make public his reasons.

The site works with appropriate outside agencies, such as the fire department, the police department, and the hospital to write emergency plans for all potential emergencies, including fire, explosion, accident, sever weather, loss of power and/or water, and violence from an outside source. Desk top drills are conducted monthly so that all employees experience a drill on each type of emergency once a year. A total site evacuation drill focusing on one emergency type, with all work shut down, and coordinated with the appropriate agency, is conducted once a year. Each drill, whether table top or actual evacuation, is evaluated by the drill planning committee, constituted each year with two managers or supervisors and two hourly employees who volunteer. This committee's written report is posted in the lunch room, and supervisors ensure that all employees know the results. When necessary, the emergency procedures are revised as a result of the evaluation report. Persons needing emergency care are transported by company van or community ambulance to the hospital, located five miles from the site. Usually that trip can be made in less than ten minutes. Onsite during all shifts designated persons fully trained in cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and the requirements of OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, are the first responders to any emergency. These persons are trained by qualified Red Cross instructors. One of these designated persons' safety and health responsibilities is to ensure that first aid kits are stocked and readily accessible in the marked locations throughout the plant. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is provided for the different types of accidents possible at the site. All emergency responders have been offered the Hepatitis B vaccine. Management maintains a proactive occupational health program that provides for occupational health professionals from the local hospital to participate in worksite analyses to find and protect employees against all health hazards. This plan provides initial health screening for each employee, appropriate to the hazards with which each employee will be working, and for tracking of any health changes in each employee through periodic physical examinations, postexposure exams, and exit exam. Certified industrial hygienists conduct periodic air and noise monitoring. The doctor and occupational health nurse, working on contract for the site, examine health surveillance data to discern changes in overall employee health screening results to discern any trends that need to be addressed. Health professionals, appropriately trained and knowledgeable about site hazards, immediately treat employees for occupational health problems and follow each case until the individual can return full-time to all aspects of his assigned job. These professionals ensure that employee medical records are kept confidentially so that diagnosis and treatment are not divulged, but management does have information about the employee under treatment as to: ability to perform job tasks; job limitations or accommodations needed; length of time the limitations must be implemented.

Management ensures that supervisors honor these restrictions. This health care is provided free of charge for all employees. The total plan is reviewed annually to assess its effectiveness. Through consultants, management has assessed all work at this site and determined that the following OSHA standards apply to the site's work. Individual safety and health programs for each of these standards have been written and implemented. Employees affected by these standards have been trained to understand them and to follow the programs' directions. These standards are:

F=orthe first day the employee only observes the buddy doing the job and reads appropfiateJHAs~ The second day the new employee does the job, while the buddy obseNes himiher. For the first six months on the job a new employee is considered a probationer an may not work beyond the line of vision of another employee. Supervisors are strictly charged ensure that this training process Is followed for all new employees and for any employee beginning a new job at the worksite. All employees are paid for one full day's work (eight hours) beyond their production schad e each pay period. This time is usually split into several sections to attend training classes. A of training topics, by week, is published each yeaL Each topic is offered at least twice. Ea employee is responsible for ensuring that he/she masters the year's training topics.
