In all of our assignments, the health and safety of all should be the utmost consideration. Department heads and supervisory personnel at all levels of the workforce are directed to make safety a matter of continuing concern, equal in importance with all other operational considerations. This program is established to emphasize that effective loss prevention is an integral part of management procedures designed to fully utilize the Town of Webster's capital and personnel. Although profit is not the goal of municipal operations, the same efficiency is desired to ensure maximum use of each tax dollar available. Accidents are unplanned events.
Proper planning can control accidents.
Most accidents are preventable. Loss control is to initiate such pre-planning as is necessary to minimize unsafe acts, contain environmental hazards and control unsafe conditions. Every employee is charged with the responsibility of supporting and cooperating with the loss prevention program as outlined. All employees are expected, as a condition of employment, to adopt the concept that the safe way to perform a task is the most efficient and the only acceptable way to perform it. Safety adherence and performance will be considered an important measure of supervisory and employee performance evaluations at the Town of Webster.
