COMPLIANCE AND DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES Management is responsible for ensuring all safety and health policies and procedures are clearly communicated and understood by all workers. Managers and supervisors are expected to enforce the rules fairly and uniformly. All employees are responsible for using safe work practices, for following all directives, policies, and procedures and for assisting in maintaining a safe work environment. See Appendix A, Code of Safe Practices.

The following is our system of ensuring that all workers comply with the rules and maintain a safe work environment:

Informing workers of the provisions of our IIPP Evaluating the safety performance of all workers Recognizing employees who exhibit safe work behavior. This recognition is

accomplished by:

If you have a Safety Recognition Program, describe it here. If you do not, delete this bullet.

Providing training to workers whose safety performance is deficient Disciplining workers for failure to comply with safe work practices. The following

outlines our disciplinary process:

This policy is intended to provide rules and guidelines for administering disciplinary action to employees who violate safety rules and procedures or who, by their record or actions, indicate a disregard for safety.

Safety-related disciplinary action would be administered in conjunction with management, the Safety Coordinator, and the Human Resources Department.

Failure to comply with safe work procedures will lead to disciplinary action. This plan is progressive and consists of four tiers.

Verbal Warning Written Warning Suspension Termination

Depending on the seriousness of the violation, an employee may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. A copy of the Disciplinary Action Plan is provided by Human Resources during New Hire Orientation and is available upon request.

Other means that we use to ensure employee compliance with safe and healthful work practices include: (Document any other means used or delete this sentence.)

COMMUNICATIONOpen communication about safety must flow both ways, from management down to employees and from employees up through management channels.

Safety communications can include the following: Report of incidents and near-misses by employees to management New hire orientation, including a discussion of safety and health policies and procedures

and a review of the IIPP and Code of Safe Practices (Appendix A) Training programs covering job hazard analysis (JHAs) and safety programs and

applicable State and Federal regulations Open discussion about safety at departmental meetings Employee communication through departmental safety committee representatives to

the central safety committee Posted, distributed, and accessible safety information such as OSHA posters, safety

data sheets (SDSs), and written safety programs Safety suggestion forms which are available for employees to report any hazardous

conditions or issues (anonymously, if needed)

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENTIt is the responsibility of every employee to assist in the identification of hazardous conditions or unsafe actions of employees to prevent losses and injury. Enter Company Name will use Job Hazard Analysis (JHAs) and hazard assessments or inspections to identify and evaluate workplace hazards.

Inspection types:Safety committee inspections: Safety committee members will conduct periodic inspections to identify and evaluate workplace hazards. Safety committee members must also solicit input from employees regarding hazards in their work areas and assess and document them completely.

Management inspections: Department managers will conduct safety observations of employee work practices and periodic hazard assessments. They must perform inspections:

At least       When new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment, which presents

potential new hazards, are introduced into our workplace When new, previously unidentified hazards are recognized When occupational injuries and illnesses occur When workplace conditions warrant an inspection (e.g., when any non-routine task

is to be conducted)

Employee inspections: Employees will assist in performing routine safety inspections as directed by management.

Page 8: INJURY AND ILLNESS PREVENTION PLAN · Web viewOSHA Log records will be maintained for five years following the end of the calendar year that the records cover. Inspection records

Jobsite inspections: Lead personnel on a jobsite will inspect the jobsite on a daily basis prior to beginning work and notify all employees of identified hazards and corrections/procedures to address these hazards.

Job Hazard Analysis (JHAs):JHAs analyze each job step to identify uncontrolled hazards and establish controls to address these hazards. Conducting JHAs helps you to reduce the likelihood of incidents and injuries in the workplace. Involve employees and gain their input throughout the process.

The JHA process:

Break down jobs into their steps or job tasks Identify existing hazards in each job step and consider what controls will work to resolve

them Set priorities for correcting identified hazards Review and analyze past safety incidents to identify trends

Reports and documentation:All inspectors must:

Complete the Hazard Assessment form/checklist Submit the completed Hazard Assessment form/checklist to. Safety Coordinator who is

accountable for taking follow-up actions, if needed If a condition that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) is observed, notify

the appropriate personnel and stop work in the area until the hazard has been corrected

INCIDENT INVESTIGATIONAll near misses and incidents must be reported to Safety Coordinator and investigated. Refer to GoSafe for more information and training related to Accident Investigation. The main purpose of the investigation is not to determine who was at fault but to identify the root causes that contribute to injuries so that corrective actions can be taken.

After a serious injury or fatality, any equipment involved in the incident should be removed from service pending investigation. The equipment should be inspected prior to returning to service to ensure that it operates properly and all guards are in place.

Investigation:Management is responsible for overseeing the investigation process following an incident involving an employee in their department. The investigation must be done immediately. An Accident Investigation Form is located in Appendix D.

Company Name Revision Date Page 8 of 25

Page 9: INJURY AND ILLNESS PREVENTION PLAN · Web viewOSHA Log records will be maintained for five years following the end of the calendar year that the records cover. Inspection records

The investigator must: Identify hazards, root causes, and corrective actions Document investigation results in the Accident Investigation Form and retain these

records Inform management of the results of the investigation so that appropriate action can be

taken

HAZARD CORRECTION AND CONTROLManagement is responsible for implementing a plan to ensure a safe working environment, to correct and control the hazards, and assure that the corrective actions are effective and sufficient.

Hazard Correction and Control includes the following: Document and track all actions taken to correct and control hazards in the Safety Action

Plan Prioritize corrective actions so that safety-related issues are addressed promptly Review the JHA to assure the hazard has been adequately addressed and develop a

new JHA if needed Assure that affected employees are aware of all noted hazards and plans to correct

them

Specific practices used to address hazards can include: Elimination of the hazard, if possible. (For example, this might involve substituting a

hazardous material with a non-hazardous one) Development of engineering controls to limit or prevent exposure Implementation of administrative controls (e.g., policies and procedures, training, etc.).

These are the second line of defense after engineering controls. Provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for employees. This is a last resort

after engineering and administrative controls Assure that interim controls are in place if hazards cannot be controlled immediately.

Do what it takes to safeguard staff until permanent controls are put in place Stop any unsafe work practices and provide retraining to employees, if needed

TRAINING AND EDUCATIONManagers are responsible for informing employees about all hazards in the workplace. Safety Coordinator will ensure that all education and training sessions are scheduled and completed as necessary but must address both general safety and job specific procedures.

Training related to the IIPP will be conducted by      . Employee training will be conducted at least once a      .

Training content:Training must cover the following:

Your Safety Program, including the IIPP and any other safety-related programs identified in your hazard assessment. Refer to Appendix C.

Hazards specific to employees’ individual job assignments Controls including, but not limited to, safety procedures and Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) specific to employees’ individual job assignments

Training frequency:Training must occur:

As soon as possible for new employees, preferably before starting work For employees beginning new job assignments For employees being temporarily relocated to another type of machinery or equipment When the IIPP is first established When a new or previously unrecognized hazard is discovered When new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are introduced to the

workplace and represent a new hazard Periodically, in the form of refresher training

General requirements:Both employees and management must be trained. Management must be aware of hazards that the employees under their direction may be exposed to.

Training must be conducted in a language and vocabulary that trainees understand.

All training must be documented. One on one training and certifications are maintained in each employee’s file. Group training, such as safety and tailgate meetings, are documented using a sign in sheet like the one in Appendix F.
