Communication •The bulletin board in the cafeteria lists the previous month’s safety team minutes.

Disciplinary Policy •A progressive disciplinary policy exists, however, “good” employees are often excused for small incidents.

Inspections •The safety team performs monthly inspections and reports their findings at the safety meeting.•OSHA has been in several times in the past 5 years to do “unexpected” inspections as well.

Hazard Correction •A list of safety hazards is given to the maintenance representative at the safety meeting. Maintenance is constantly busy and gets to the list when there is free time.

Employee Involvement

•The safety team meets monthly, there are an equal number of employees and managers but there are no senior level managers represented.•The handbook states that employees should report any unsafe conditions to their immediate supervisor.•A suggestion box hangs outside of the cafeteria.

Safety Climate •“Safety is #1” signs are posted throughout the building.•At the annual Safety Day picnic, cups, umbrellas or T-shirts are given to employees to motivate safe behavior.•Senior managers review the year end accident costs prior to Safety Day and are sometimes surprised to see how much improvement has occurred.
