Safety is every employee’s responsibility and it is imperative that you follow our guidelines and safety practices. You are requested to do everything reasonable and necessary to keep the company a safe place to work.

Employees must be aware of their responsibilities to the company and to fellow employees. We will take a constructive approach to disciplinary matters to ensure actions, which would interfere with operations or an employee’s job, are not continued.
