Environmental,  Health and Safety  Excellence
“实现EHS卓越并不容易,布鲁里溃疡t it is essential for our survival and success. By EHS excellence we mean going beyond compliance to ensure that we’re keeping people safe and protecting the environment. The highest priority must be placed on risks that could cause the most serious harm to people, the environment or the business." —Charles Koch

问题和答案

我知道一项地方法律,适用于我工作的地点,我不认为我们正在遵守。I have talked to a few coworkers about my concern and their point of view is that the law is out of touch with today’s manufacturing process, other companies in the region do not comply with it either, and it is rarely enforced by the regulators so why bother complying with the law. Are my coworker’s views aligned with what the company expects?

No. The company’s expectation is to comply with all applicable legal requirements. Our commitment to compliance does not rely on how other companies manage their compliance obligations or the extent of enforcement activity. You must raise your concern using one of the many options available to you so the appropriate resources can assist in evaluating the circumstances and help make a determination that meets the company’s expectation.

I work at a small facility and I am aware of a safety issue that may cost a lot of money to fix. I am afraid the plant will not be profitable if we have to spend the money. Should I still report the issue?

Yes. Report the issue using one of the many reporting options available to you. Protection of health, safety and the environment must come first, no matter what. Safety is more important than profits.

I work in a high noise area and some of my coworkers refuse to wear their required hearing protection. I don’t want to be a trouble-maker, but I am concerned about them. What should I do?

如果您愿意这样做,请与您的同事分享您的关注,并鼓励他们穿上所需的听力保护。不佩戴所需的听力保护或任何其他必要的个人保护设备是违反我们的政策,甚至可能是法律。您还应该使用可用的众多报告选项之一,以便公司可以理解该问题。也许听力保护是不舒服的,需要重新设计,或者需要额外的培训。

We just implemented some new safe work practices. I have been doing this kind of work for more than 20 years and have never been hurt. Why do I have to change the way I do things?

The company values your safety. The company is not trying to make your job harder. The procedures are necessary to identify hazards and reduce risks so that you and your coworkers are protected, and to ensure compliance with regulations and our EHS Policy. Everyone must follow the procedures, however if you have concerns about them or if you think you can improve them, talk to your supervisor or your local safety professional.
