RPF Emergency Service’s Commitment to Safety:
RPF Emergency Services (RPF) recognizes that employees drive our business. As our most critical resource, employees will be safeguarded through training and procedures that foster protection of health and safety. All work conducted by RPF’s employees will take into account the intent of this policy. No duty, no matter what its perceived result, will be deemed more important than employee health and safety. RPF Emergency Services is firmly committed to the safety of our employees. We are committed to providing a safe working environment and will do everything possible to prevent workplace accidents. We value our employees not only as employees but also as human beings critical to the success of their families and the local community. Employees are encouraged to report any unsafe work practices or safety hazards encountered on the job. RPF will make every reasonable effort to provide a safe and healthful workplace that is free from any recognized or known potential hazards. Additionally, RPF subscribes to these principles:
All accidents are preventable through implementation of effective safety and health control policies and programs.
Safety and health controls are a major part of our work every day.
Accident prevention is good business. It minimizes human suffering, promotes better working conditions for everyone, holds RPF in higher regard with customers and increases productivity. This is why we will comply with all safety and health regulations which apply to the course and scope of operations.
Management is responsible for providing the safest possible workplace for employees. Consequently, management is committed to allocating and providing all of the resources needed to promote and effectively implement this safety policy.
Employees are responsible for following safe work practices and company rules, and for preventing accidents and injuries. Management will establish lines of communication to solicit and receive comments, information, suggestions and assistance from employees where safety and health are concerned.
Management and supervisors will set an exemplary example with good attitudes and strong commitment to safety and health in the workplace. Toward this end, management must monitor company safety and health performance along with working conditions to ensure that program objectives are achieved.
Our safety program applies to all employees and persons affected or associated in any way with RPF operations. Everyone’s goal must be to constantly improve safety awareness and to prevent accidents and injuries. Everyone must be involved and committed to safety. This must be a team effort. Together, we can prevent accidents and injuries. Together, we can keep each other safe and healthy in the workplace.
