Employee Safety Manual
An Employee Guide to Safety Policies and Procedures to Support a Safety-Conscious Work Environment
Foliage Unlimited recognizes that employees drive our business. As the most critical resource, employees will be safeguarded through training, provision of appropriate work surroundings and procedures that foster protection of health and safety. All work conducted by Foliage Unlimited’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.
Foliage Unlimited is firmly committed to the safety of our employees. We will do everything possible to prevent workplace accidents and we are committed to providing a safe working environment for all employees.
We value our employees not only as employees but also as human beings critical to the success of their family, the local community and Foliage Unlimited.
Employees are encouraged to report any unsafe work practices or safety hazards encountered on the job. All accidents/incidents (no matter how slight) are to be immediately reported to the supervisor on duty.
A key factor in implementing this policy will be the strict compliance to all applicable central, state and local policies and procedures. Failure to comply with these policies may result in disciplinary actions.
