Supervision has been trained to perform safety observations to identify and eliminate unsafe conditions. Teams conduct quarterly safety brainstorming. They continue to develop and implement several innovative programs throughout the year. All of these programs are specifically designed to increase Safety, Health and Environmental awareness. Each month, a new awareness topic is introduced that has both on and off the job focus.
Employees volunteer for two-year assignments.
The Winnie Plant Employees participate in the Merisol monthly safety slogan contest. The winning slogans selected from the various employee entries are featured on an annual safety calendar. The results of the survey were used to establish a new path forward based on Management Commitment and Employee Involvement. Employees are involved through committees, task forces and focus groups to guide the program to best fit the needs of the site and assure employee participation and buy-in. They plan and hold safety meetings, keep up with training, address concerns specific to the department, do audits, and develop awareness and recognition programs.
