POSITIVE
ATTITUDES TOWARDS SAFETY:
 Making
improvements in Safety requires a positive / can do
attitude to have any success. Here are attitudes
that every ICM employee must develop if we are to
make any gains in our Safety performance. Remember
the goal is zero incidents, not zero injuries.
- Incidents / Injuries can
be prevented
- Preventing incidents and
injuries is more important than blaming the
people who cause them
- Safety rules and
regulations are reasonable and important
- My co-workers will respect
me for practicing Safety
- Safety is a mark of
intelligence and skill
- Taking chances / shortcuts
is not acceptable
- I have a responsibility to
do something toward correcting any hazard that I
identify
- I have a responsibility to
be a Safety Leader
Every person working for ICM
can impact Safety for themselves and their
co-workers.
Eye Injuries are continuing to
be a challenge within the company. More focus on
eye safety is needed when performing your job
tasks. Just using the required personal protective
equipment is not enough. The fit of the equipment
is critical to keeping debris out of your eyes.
Check the coverage of your safety glasses around
your eye socket. Always pull the face shield
completely over your face and form the shield at the
sides for best coverage. Brush off hair and
eyebrows when completing job tasks.
Be aware of co-workers when
using power tools such as grinders. Never spray
grind debris toward a co-worker, either ask them to
move or re-position yourself so the grind dust flies
away from others. |
