1. Safety and health are shared responsibilties. Everyone from top management to supervisors to each and every worker must take ownership of their own safety and that of their co-workers.
2. Maintaining a safe and healthful work environment is not just a good idea - it is a top priority and must be a part of every work process.
3. It is everyone's job to spot hazards and to correct them or report them in a timely manner.
4. Where hazards cannot be completely eliminated, they must be reduced through engineering or administrative controls, or, as a final precaution, through the proper use of personal protective equipment.
5. Every individual will be trained to perform work safely. Should an individual feel inadequately trained to perform a certain procedure, he or she will immediately discuss the problem with his or her supervisor.
6. As a condition of employment, each employee must work consistently in a safe manner in conformance with the organization's policies, and with state and federal safety, health, and environmental laws and regulations.
