Safety pledge
Actions speak louder than words.
To ensure safety as a core value, postal management should pledge to:
-
- Demonstrate a commitment to providing a safe work environment for my employees.
- Participate in day to day safety activities. Take the necessary action to prevent accidents.
- Provide safety training and educate my employees.
- Investigate all accidents to determine root cause.
- Encourage the reporting of hazards and act to address them.
- Actively participate in joint safety and health committees.
- Fully participate in the Counsel At Risk Employees (CARE) program.
- Encourage participation in safety activities at all levels.
- Never walk by an unsafe practice or hazard and say or do nothing.
When postal management promotes a culture of safety, employees get a greater understanding of the importance of working safely and reducing accidents and injuries.
And that’s smart safety!
