The purpose of this program is to effectively guide J-M Manufacturing in the pursuit of accident prevention goals. Efforts directed to reduce accidents will succeed only to the degree that all management personnel apply the principle that accident prevention is an operating responsibiIity and demands the same executive direction and control given to increasing efficiency of production. RESPONSIBILITY The Plant Manager has overall responsibility for the safety and health of al1 employees. Certain specific responsibilities have been delegated as foilows: ^ 1. Industrial Engineer Supervisor - Responsible for environmental control and asbestos communication. 2. Plant Engineer - Responsible for unsafe conditions requiring fabrication or repair of equipment, buildings, etc. 3- Employee Relations Manager - Responsible for formulation of safety program, reporting, and safety audits. k. Department Heads ~ Specific responsibility for unsafe conditions and actions in their respective shops. They are responsible for reporting and investigations as stated in Safety Program. 5. Safety Committee - Responsible for coordination, recommendation and implementation of plant safety. Committee members will be I. E. Supervisor, Department Head, Safety Coordinator, and in case of disagreement, the Plant Manager. D 003340 SUPERVISOR ACTIVITIES BAS I C Specific accident prevention functions are assigned to J-M Manufacturing supervisors. Th'ey are designed to involve the supervisor in ail areas of the program because it is only through their active pa'ticipation and support that the program can be successful. These activities can be related to the anacronym BAS 1C, Indicating they are fundamental, but essential to the program. They are: B - Basic Training A - Accident Investigation S r Safety Meetings I - Inspections C - Counseling individual employees BASIC TRAINING Supervisors are required to participate in an indoctrination program for new employees using the Supervisor Report of Safety Orientation for New Employees. The purpose is to insure the employee receives the necessary information to begin work. Training progress of new employees must be closely monitored by Supervisors to insure the employee is performing the job as instructed and doing it safely. This orientation checklist will become a permanent part of the personnel file. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION '- Supervisors will conduct investigations of all injuries, property damage, and near-miss accidents to their employees within the same shift on which it occurs. The Supervisor will review accident with Safety Coordinator-and Department Head at scene within 2k hours of the accident. The Accident Investigation Report will be completed to include corrective action taken, and forwarded to the Plant Manager for review within 2k hours. The Safety Coordinator will maintain accident report files. The responsibility to conduct an accident investigation is one which cannot be taken lightly. The reason is obvious! It is the only way to systematically establish all the facts concerning how and why an accident occured, and then take action to prevent a recurrence. This responsibility lies with the immediate supervisor of the injured employee. His job is to gather all available information from the injured employee, witnesses, the scene etc., then apply his experience D 003341 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION - (Continued) in evaluating that information and report hi5 idea of what happened, how it happened, why it happened and what has been done to prevent a recurrence. The following are some basics on how to get the facts: 1. Remind the employee of the investigation's purpose. If the employee is afraid of ridicule, reprimand, etc., he probably will not help in identifying the facts. He must understand the purpose is not to find fault. 2. When possible, let the employee tell his story at the scene. His story should include what he was doing, how he was doing it and what happened. Let him complete his story without interruption. 3. Ask questions. The supervisor must be sure he clears up any mis understandings. A. Check understanding. The supervisor should describe the accident as he understands it, checking key points. 5. Discuss how to prevent recurrence. The supervisor must cover specifically what needs to be done to prevent recurrence. Here the employee's opinion could be valuable. This step must be covered to conclude a useful accident investigation. SAFETY MEETINGS ' Supervisors are required to hold safety meetings for their employees once each month. Safety topics will be distributed periodically. Supervisors are encouraged to present information applicable to their employees' jobs, hazards, injury experience, etc. Employee input will be sol ici ted. .. . INSPECTIONS - Each supervisor is expected to conduct a planned inspection on his area of responsibility at least once a month. These inspections are to be conducted for each shift. An hourly employee will accompany the supervisor. What should the supervisor's inspection include? How does one plan an inspection? It is important that the supervisor's monthly inspections be planned, not incidental. By incidental, we mean just keeping our eyes open for unsafe acts or conditions. This type of inspection should be taking place continously. The planned inspection is deliberate and thorough. When'the supervisor sets out on the inspection, he has in mind out- of-the-way areas to check, specific tools, machines, or processes, specific conditions to look for, etc. Nothing is left to chance. Supervisor's Monthly Departmental Inspection form will be used, with copies going to Plant Manager, Department Head, Safety Coordinator, D 003342 INSPECTIONS - (Continued) and Department Bulletin Board. A safety inspection tour will be made each month of one department by an . R. person, the Department Head, and the Plant Engineer or his designate. Unsafe conditions, equipment, and poor housekeeping will be noted. Corrective recommendations will be made to the Shift Supervisor immediately following the inspection. Employee Relations will put the inspection results and recommendations in writing to the Department Head, with a copy to the Plant Manager and Plant Engineer. A copy of the report will be put in bring-up for a follow-up on corrective action taken. ' No formal schedule will be made up. Random inspections will be scheduled one day in advance. COUNSELING OF INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES From time to time it is necessary to counsel employees on an individual basis for various reasons (unsafe acts, injury, adherence to safety rules, etc.). The topic of discussion should always have specific application for the individual counseled. This feature of the program helps to reinforce with employees management's committment to safety. Each supervisor should make at least one contact a week. A brief, hand written note covering discussion will be written and signed by supervisor and employee. Note will be filed in employee's safety file.
