HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENT The safety and health of employees is the first consideration in operating any business. Without question, it is the responsibility of every employee at all levels in the hierarchy. Northern Arizona University / Facility Services will comply with all laws and prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. To do this, we must be aware of conditions that can result in injury or illness in every work area. No employees will be required to work at a job they know is unsafe or unhealthy. Companywide cooperation in detecting hazards and controlling them is a condition of employment. Employees will inform their supervisor immediately of any hazardous situation beyond their ability or authority to correct. Preventing workplace injuries and illnesses takes precedence over operating productivity when necessary. To the greatest degree possible, management will provide safeguards for personal safety and health, in keeping with the highest standards. We strive to maintain an occupational injury and illness prevention program (IIPP) that conforms to industry best practices for organizations of this type. To be successful, such a program must embody proper attitudes toward injury and illness prevention on the part of both supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and health matters, not only between supervisor and employee, but also among coworkers. Our objective is an (IIPP) that reduces the number of work place incidences to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing the best experience of operations similar to ours. Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.
