`-- Section 2: Goals and Objectives Central to our AWAIR program are the goals and objectives we, as an organization, have set for our overall safety and health program. The goals establish the direction for our program and state what we are attempting to achieve through this program. Our goals are generally challenging to reach or complete, but are also possible to achieve. The goals are specific to the City of Pequot Lakes. Our objectives are specific actions that we will be taking to attempt to achieve those goals. Our objectives can either be measured or demonstrated. Goal 1: Continuously reduce annual lost work day incident rate below level from previous year and actively encourage employee involvement in health and safety programs. Objectives: 1. We will address all employee safety issues in a timely manner (i.e., hazards that potentially pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury will be initially addressed within one shift and other hazards will be initially addressed within one week). 2. We will perform a periodic safety inspection of all departments and will take corrective action or begin investigating long-term solutions for all hazards identified during the inspection within one week. 3. We will investigate all accidents and near-miss events and will take corrective action to prevent a recurrence. Goal 2: We will establish and maintain a company culture that is committed to workplace safety and health. Objectives: 1. We will conduct regular safety meetings, at least on a quarterly basis, to inform employees about specific workplace safety and health issues and to build an overall awareness of employee safety and health. 2. We will actively enforce all safety rules throughout the company. 3. Assign responsibilities. 4. Establish systems for identifying, analyzing and controlling hazards. 5. Communicate program effectively and encourage employee participation. 6. Investigate all incidents and near misses. 2
