Emergency Medical Treatment In the case of any debilitating illness or injury to an employee, even within the normal range of pre-diagnosed conditions or illness, it is our policy to immediately call 911 Emergency Services on the employee’s behalf. Safety is our main concern and immediately following the call for emergency services, the emergency contact that was provided by the employee will be notified of the situation. It is the employee’s right to refuse any medical services offered by the attending medical staff on the scene when they arrive. However, a document from an attending physician must be provided to the Company upon the employee’s return to work. This document must show proof that it is safe for the employee to return to work and must contain in writing any detailed restrictions the employee has and for how long. If restrictions are necessary and it is a non-work-related accident or incident, reasonable consideration will be given to the employee’s request to return to work with limited capacity. The employee will be notified in person, by phone, or in writing about the Company’s decision. Hazard Communications Program The Company’s objective is to comply fully with the standards known as “Hazard Communication”, also referred to as “Worker Right-to-Know” regulations. Midwest Fastener Corp. has assigned direct responsibility for compliance with its Hazard Communication Program to its supervisors and managers. You will be given formal safety training on your first day of employment. The New Hire Safety Training and Orientation packet will be reviewed with you by the Human Resources Department and/or your manager/supervisor. Safety is something every employee should take pride in, and each employee is encouraged to take an interest and actively participate in our training.
It is the focus of this committee to identify 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. Employee Safety Midwest Fastener Corp. strives to provide its employees with a safe and healthful workplace environment. To accomplish this goal, both management and employees must diligently undertake efforts to promote safety. The Company, through its supervisory personnel, shall strive to develop and implement safety rules and regulations. This process will be ongoing and may require periodic safety audits. Safety audits may be undertaken to determine the necessity and feasibility of providing protective clothing, devices, or safeguards to make the workplace safe and healthy. The Company shall also educate and train employees as to hazards of the workplace and the proper and safe method to perform job tasks. All completed OSHA written plans are available, upon request, to employees and any OSHA officials when requested. Detailed safety rules and regulations will be issued and/or modified from time to time and shall be effective immediately.
