N&R Cleaning :

N&R Cleaning 4426 Honeydew Circle Las Vegas, NV 89147-
The designated safety coordinator for N&R Cleaning is: Venessa Alvarado The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 clearly defines the requirement to provide safe and healthful working conditions for all employees. Therefore, the safety and health of our employees is the first consideration in operating this business. Safety and health in our business must be part of every operation. Without question, it is every employee‘s responsibility at all levels. It is the intent of N&R Cleaning to comply with all laws. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas that can produce injuries. No employee is required to work at a job they know is not safe or healthful. Your cooperation in detecting hazards and, in turn, controlling them, is a condition of your employment. Inform your supervisor immediately of any situation beyond your ability or authority to correct. The personal safety and health of each employee of this company is of primary importance. Prevention of occupationally-induced injuries and illnesses is of such consequence that it will be given precedence over operating productivity, whenever necessary. To the greatest degree possible, management will provide all mechanical and physical activities required for personal safety and health, in keeping with the highest standards. We will maintain an occupational safety and health program conforming to the best practices of organizations of this type. To be successful, such a program must embody proper attitudes towards injury and illness prevention on the part of supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and health matters, not only between supervisor and employee, but also between each employee and their co-workers. Only through such a cooperative effort can a safety and health program, in the best interest of all, be established and preserved. Our objective is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing, the best experience of operations similar to ours. Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.

 

Our safety and health program includes:

p Providing mechanical and physical safeguards to the maximum extent possible.

p Conducting a program of safety and health inspections to find and eliminate unsafe working conditions or practices, to control health hazards, and to fully comply with OSHA safety and health standards for every job.

p Training all employees in good safety and health practices.

p Providing necessary personal protective equipment, and instructions for proper use and care.

p Developing and enforcing safety and health rules, and requiring that employees cooperate with these rules as a condition of employment.

p Investigating, promptly and thoroughly, every accident to find out what caused it, and correct the problem so it will not happen again.


We recognize that the responsibilities for occupational safety and health are shared:

p This employer accepts responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe work conditions.

p Supervisors are responsible for developing proper attitudes toward safety and health in themselves and in those they supervise, and for ensuring that all operations are performed with the utmost regard for the safety and health of all personnel involved, including themselves.

p Employees are responsible for wholehearted, genuine operations of all aspects of the safety and health program - including compliance with the rules and regulations - and for continuously practicing safety and health while performing their duties.


N&R Cleaning shall see that all employees are properly instructed and supervised in the safe operation of any machinery, tools, equipment, process, or practice which they are authorized to use or apply while at work. Production is never so urgent that we can not take the time to do our work safely.

Note: A "Safety & Health Policy Statement" form, to be signed by the Company Owner or CEO and distributed to all employees, is provided at the end of this section. It is your COPY MASTER.

 

 

Labor & Management Accountability

Remember, it is the employer‘s responsibility to provide a safe and healthful work environment for their employees. However, holding everyone accountable for their part in workplace safety and health is critical for a successful injury and illness prevention plan.

Employees are required to work in compliance with the safety rules, report all accidents and near misses, and report all unsafe conditions or unsafe practices. To demonstrate this employer‘s commitment to support the employees in these responsibilities, the employer will do the following:

 

Communication System:

·         Encourage employees to inform the employer about workplace hazards without fear of reprisal.

All employees are encouraged to participate by keeping the employer informed of their concerns regarding the elements of this safety and health plan. The success of this safety and health plan is dependant upon two things: First, the employer must provide a safe and healthful environment in which the employee has the opportunity to work safe, and second, the employee must choose to work safe.

 

Supervisor/Foreman

 

·         The Supervisors and/or Foremen will establish an operating atmosphere that insures that safety and health is managed in the same manner and with the same emphasis as production, cost, and quality control. This will be accomplished by:

·         Regularly emphasizing that accident and health hazard exposure prevention are not only moral responsibilities, but also a condition of employment.

·         Identifying operational oversights that could contribute to accidents which often result in injuries and property damage.

·         Participating in safety and health related activities, including routinely attending safety meetings, reviews of the facility, and correcting employee behavior that can result in accidents and injuries.

·         Spending time with each person hired explaining the safety policies and the hazards of his/her particular work.

·         Ensuring that initial orientation of "new hires" is properly carried out.

·         Making sure that if a ―Competent Person is required, that one is present to oversee, and instruct employees when necessary.

·         Never short-cutting safety for expediency, nor allowing workers to do so.

Program Goals

Why have a workplace -Safety and Health Plan? Taking risks is part of running a business, particularly for small business owners. You take risks in product development, marketing, and advertising in order to stay competitive. But there are some risks that should never be taken. One of these is risking the safety and health of workers. Safety begins at the top and goes downward throughout the company. The primary goal of N&R Cleaning is to continue operating a profitable business while protecting employees from injuries or illness. This can be achieved by delegating responsibility and accountability to all involved in this Company‘s operation.

·          Responsibility: Having to answer for activities and results.

·          Accountability: The actions taken by management to insure the performance of responsibilities.

·          In other words, to reach our goal of a safe workplace everyone needs to take responsibility and be held accountable. Benefits of achieving our goals are:

·          Minimizing of injuries and accidents

·          Minimizing the loss of property and equipment

·          Elimination of potential fatalities

·          Elimination of potential permanent disabilities

·          Elimination of potential OSHA fines

·          Reductions in Workers‘ Compensation costs

·          Reductions in operating costs

·          Having the best -Safety and Health conditions possible in the workplace

Management Commitment

Our Company is committed to building an effective injury and illness prevention plan, putting it in writing, and integrating it into the entire operation. The management of N&R Cleaning is committed to the company's safety policy, and to provide direction and motivation by:

·          Appointing Safety Coordinator(s) and/or Safety Committee Chairmen.

·          Establishing company safety goals and objectives.

·          Developing and implementing this written Safety and Health program.

·          Ensuring total commitment to the Safety and Health program.

·          Facilitating employees‘ safety training.

·          Establishing responsibilities for management and employees to follow.

·          Ensuring that management and employees are held accountable for performance of their safety responsibilities.

·          Establishing and enforcing disciplinary procedures for employees.

·          Reviewing the Safety and Health program annually, and revising or updating as needed.

 

Safety Committee and Safety Meeting

 

Recognize and support the safety committee as an excellent vehicle for facilitating communication and involvement between labor and management on occupational safety and health issues. The Committee shall consist of representatives from management and non-management employees with the scheduled person as the chairman. The committee is a forum, created for the purpose of fostering safety and health through communication. The responsibilities of Safety Committee Members include: p Discussing safety policies and procedures with management and making recommendations for improvements. p Reviewing accident investigation reports on all accidents and ―near-misses. p Identifying unsafe conditions and work practices and making recommendations for corrections. NOTE: Refer to the succeeding section for instructions on Safety Committee protocols. All employees of N&R Cleaning shall attend and participate in the ―Weekly safety meetings. The safety meeting shall be conducted by the designated Safety Coordinator/Supervisor/Foreman. Problems that have arisen, or that are anticipated, shall be discussed along with any other safety and health topics. The meeting shall be kept a valuable educational experience by: p Starting and stopping according to schedule. p Keeping the meetings moving. p Using illustrated material and demonstrations to make the point. p Discussing each topic thoroughly, providing handouts if possible. p Evaluating accidents, injuries, property losses, and ―near misses for trends and similar causes to initiate corrective actions. The designated Safety Coordinator/Supervisor/Foreman must document all aspects of any safety and health training.

Hazard Identification &Control

 

Periodic inspections and procedures for correction provide methods of identifying existing or potential hazards in the workplace, and eliminating or controlling them. Hazard control is essential to an effective injury and illness plan. We will be sure to look at safe work practices and ensure that they are being followed, and that unsafe conditions or procedures are identified and corrected properly and promptly. Employees are encouraged to report possible hazardous situations, knowing their reports will be given prompt and serious attention. Workplace equipment and personal protective equipment will be maintained in good, safe working condition. Hazards, where possible, will be corrected as soon as they are identified. For those that cannot be immediately corrected, a target date for correction will be set. The employer will provide interim protection for workers while hazards are being corrected. A written tracking system will be established to help monitor the progress of the hazard correction

Accident/incident Investigation

 

Employers and safety committees are required to investigate or assign responsibility for investigating accidents. Accidents/incidents will be investigated by trained individuals, with the primary focus of understanding why the accident or incident occurred, and what actions can be taken to preclude recurrence. The focus will be on solutions and never on blame. They will be in writing, and adequately identify the causes of the accident or near-miss occurrence.


 

Worker Training

 

Training is another essential element of any injury and illness prevention plan. OSHA rules require each employer to train workers for any job or task they are assigned. Our plan includes training and instruction:

 

·         For all employees when they are first hired.

·         For all new employees for each specific task.

·         For all employees given new job assignments for which training has not already been received.

·         Whenever new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are introduced into the workplace and present a new hazard.

·         Whenever new personal protective equipment or different work practices are used on existing hazards.

·         Whenever the employer is made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard.

·         For all supervisors to ensure they are familiar with the safety and health hazards to which employees under their immediate direction and control may be exposed.

 

An effective safety and health plan requires proper job performance by everyone in the workplace. As the employer, we must ensure that all employees are knowledgeable about the materials and equipment with which they work, what known hazards are present, and how they are controlled.

 

Employees

It is the duty of each and every employee to know the safety rules, and conduct his work in compliance with these rules. Disregard of the safety and health rules shall be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination. It is also the duty of each employee to make full use of the safeguards provided for their protection. Every employee will receive an orientation when hired and receive a copy of any COMPANY Safety and Health Programs. Employee responsibilities include the following:

 

·         Reading, understanding and following safety and health rules and procedures.

·         Signing the Code of Safe Practices and any other policy acknowledgements.

·         Wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times when working in areas where there is  a possible danger of injury.
