Any employee is able to stop work if a hazardous condition or unsafe work practice is observed.
However, everybody is cautioned to avoid stopping work that is being done safely. The Safety Office has been developing a new accident investigation procedure and will be phasing in this new procedure over the next couple months. A task team consisting of Hathcock, Hamill, Fish and Pelkey will work to develop such training. Bruch will observe and offer support to the task team. Sprains and strains have also become more prevalent.
