Attachment U1— Safety Program Overview Eureka Recycling AWAIR Program Employee Right -To -Know Updated June 2020 Safety Plan Overview Eureka Recycling is committed to providing a safe workplace for employees and has devoted resources to develop measures to reduce recognized hazards. This includes managing our safety plan, providing training for new and existing employees, and providing the necessary tools and equipment to safely perform our work. Supervisors are responsible for the safety of their employees and as a part of their daily expectations must check work areas for unsafe conditions, observe employees and take prompt action to eliminate any hazards. Employees are required to comply with all company safety procedures and are encouraged to actively participate in identifying ways to make our company a safer place to work. All employees are to work in a safe manner and follow safety work practices outlined in our safety plan, for their own safety as well as the safety of other employees and our customers. The MN AWAIR Act requires employers to conduct and document a review of the workplace accident and injury reduction program at least annually and document how objectives in the program are met. This checklist serves as a way to track our safety objectives: Objectives • Provide a safe workplace for our employees • Comply with federal and state safety regulations • Minimize injury frequency and severity of occupational injuries Strategies ❑ Engage employees at all levels of the organization in safety initiatives ❑ Implement systems and practices that proactively promote health and safety ❑ Educate employees on regulatory requirements and common industry exposures ❑ Conduct regular facility audits to evaluate control measures ❑ Investigate accidents to determine root cause and corrective measures ❑ Hold employees accountable using our disciplinary policy ❑ Conduct an annual review and update of our safety program as it is needed ❑ Maintain the OSHA 300 Log
