Accordingly, the Company emphasizes "safety first." It is the employee's responsibility to take steps to promote safety in the workplace and work in a safe manner. By remaining safety conscious, employees can protect themselves and their coworkers. Employees are expected to promptly report all unsafe working conditions, accidents and injuries, regardless of how minor so that any potential hazards can be corrected. Midwest Fastener Corp. provides information to employees about workplace safety and health issues through regular internal communication such as:
safety risks and find solutions. All employees are encouraged to contact the chairperson, members of the committee or management to identify safety issues. The committee chairperson will report directly to the Production Manager or Operations Manager. The employee who reported the issue will be given a timely response of action from the committee chairperson. Once a month a mandatory safety meeting is held to receive workplace training, to discuss potential and current safety issues and health hazards and the practices and procedures to eliminate and/or minimize the issues. If a full month is complete without an injury requiring outside medical treatment, Midwest Fastener Corp. will provide lunch for all employees following the safety meeting. This lunch is solely intended to encourage and reward safe work practices and is not to restrict the use of medical treatment in any way.

To accomplish this goal, both management and employees must diligently undertake efforts to promote safety.
