AWAIR <br /> Section 8: Enforcement of Safety and Health Programs <br /> Enforcement of safe work practices should be fair, consistent throughout the organization, and <br /> based on established policy which can be found in our Safety and Health Program. Management <br /> and supervision should be conscious of the examples they set for the workplace and should obey <br /> the same rules as the rest of the workforce. <br /> Unsafe or unhealthy work action by all employees shall be corrected in a timely manner based on <br /> the severity of the hazards. The enforcement of the program is based on the following methods: <br /> 1. Verbal warning <br /> 2. Written warning <br /> 3. Leave without pay <br /> 4. Demotion <br /> 5. Termination <br /> Or, Take Safety Program Enforcement from union contract language agreement or current <br /> personnel manual. <br /> Disciplinary action will follow the above sequence unless the situation warrants more severe <br /> action. <br /> Not only should negative behavior be discouraged, but positive behavior should be reinforced as <br /> well. Exceptional performance or efforts in workplace safety and health should be recognized by <br /> the organization. <br /> Section 9: Program Review <br /> The AWAIR Act requires employers to review the entire program at least annually and <br /> document the findings. Program review is vital, because it serves as a check to see if the <br /> organization is making progress towards its goal of creating a safer, healthier workplace for all <br /> employees. The annual review keeps the program fresh, accurate and an integral part of the <br /> organization. <br /> 11 <br />
