The timely completion of jobs is important to the company. However, employee safety is our priority. My safety and that of my co-workers is my priority. It is my duty to work safely and to look out for the safety of my fellow workers. I realize that unsafe actions on my part may result in injuries to myself and others. Likewise, whenever I see a co-worker doing something unsafe, it is my priority to assist them in finding a safer way to do the job. I understand that safety is my job, everyday on every project. To illustrate that safety is my priority, I commit to the following: Wear proper PPE at all times. Know the hazards associated with each job I perform. Comply with all safety policies and programs.
