Hazard Assessment The AWAIR Act requires Eureka Recycling's safety program to describe the methods we use to identify, analyze, and control new or existing hazards, conditions, and operations. The following procedures are in place to help achieve these goals: • Employees are expected to look over their work areas prior to starting tasks to identify any unsafe conditions. These assessments are intended to identify any special safety equipment requirements, hazardous conditions, and other unique conditions. Any needs should be immediately reported to your supervisor so action can be taken. • Eureka Recycling upholds a Right to Know Program that identifies hazardous materials we use and provides information on material characteristics and safe handling practices. Training is part of this program. • Periodic inspections will be made by outside parties to identify potentially hazardous conditions. Insurance company safety representatives, Fire Marshall, OSHA Consultation, or others will conduct these inspections. • The Safety Manager will be selected to complete an inspection of the workplace annually. The inspection will be documented using the Workplace Inspection Form. The safety coordinator and management will review the results of the inspection. • Equipment and tools must be properly maintained to prevent injuries. If an item needs repair or replacement, immediately notify your supervisor. • Employees as required should use personal protective equipment. Follow proper training and established procedures for selection, inspection, fitting, cleaning, and maintenance. Communication Eureka Recycling will work to make sure all employees understand the importance of safety and accident prevention. We believe that all employees need to know about on -going safety information and our safety success. Following are some of the ways this will be communicated: • This safety policy and the OSHA safety poster will be posted in an area accessible to all employees. • We maintain an open door policy for any safety concerns. Do not hesitate to bring up any concerns to your supervisor or member of management. • New employees complete an orientation to receive training on this AWAIR Program, company safety practices, and equipment. • Affected employees will receive specific training on equipment and applicable OSHA standards. • Eureka Recycling will periodically distribute safety bulletins, memos, and other written materials. General Safety Guidelines Each department at Eureka Recycling has its own set of Work Rules, but these general Safety Guidelines will be in effect in all areas of our organization: • Wear the protective equipment required for your job as established by your supervisor through job instruction. It is your responsibility to see that protective equipment is in good repair. Damaged equipment should be reported to your supervisor immediately. • Report unsafe acts or unsafe conditions to your supervisor without delay. • Report all accidents to your supervisor immediately whether anyone is hurt or not. In cases of injury, get first aid as soon as possible.
