We strive for accident and injury free work by providing vigorous leadership that is visible throughout

our organization, through sound supervision of work operations and personnel and by

communicating essential knowledge concerning hazards and how to eliminate or control them.

It is also essential that each of us conduct our work in compliance with safe and healthful work

practice requirements. These are incorporated into numerous safety programs that include our

training and instruction such as in new hire orientations, in routine safety meetings and through the

direction of our supervisors. How well we conduct our work in a hazard free manner, according to

the direction provided, is an essential factor in our performance for which we are all accountable.

Our Safety and Health programs outline what we expect and how to accomplish it. Our success is
