Safety First!

One of the most important tasks in our organization is to do our various jobs safely. Our safety record here has been less than adequate to say the least.

So here is what we plan to do in the future. We are establishing an incentive plan to encourage employees to be safe. Here is how the plan works: If we have no accidents for the next three months a lottery will be established for employees.

Winners will be entitled to choices of weekend trips, a set of golf clubs, and/or matching luggage.

Not only will this improve our safety performance, but it should discourage reporting trivial type accidents that really stretch the concept of what is an accident.

Of course real accidents should be reported. The company pledges to not terminate any employee who raises a safety concern.
