What do you do with the cards after they are scanned?They are all shredded.

Why am I not getting credit for my cards I am turning in?There are many reasons:•You are using incorrect SOIC #•Your company has not set you up in our system (using Add/Remove Employee form) • A marker was used that bled through the paper• The bubbles were not filled in completely• White out was used on the card• You stapled your cards together

Do we get credit for the rejected cards?No – there is no way for us to know what cards are rejected. Therefore, it is a best practice for you to submit a few more than the required amount and keep an eye on your monthly report numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many observations can we have on each card?It is suggested that you complete one card for each observation that you complete. You are only required to do 15 CARDS per month. The number of observations you complete is important but it is not necessary for you to have all blanks completed on the back of the card. Filling out 3 S’s, 3 U’s & 3 I’s for each line is wasting your time. Only complete the observation categories that you actually observe.

Who can I contact with questions?The EH&S Delivery Tech that is assigned to your company.
