SAFETY PLANPLAN
OBJECTIVE“ i f d l h ”“ Everyone Going Home Safe and Healthy Every Day ”
• Supervisory development – every supervisor to actively participate in the presentation and facilitation of the next stage of Courageous Leadershippresentation and facilitation of the next stage of Courageous Leadership
• 5 pts Safety Card – track the effectiveness of the 5pt card boards by monitoring the response time, completion time for worker concern. Compliance data to be displayed at the board
• All Mine Standards and procedures – review one AMS or procedure weekly with dayshift crews
• Monthly Safety Theme – Promote one primary safety topic each month amongst all employees and monitor compliance during the month
• First Aid Training – 100% of employees to be trained by the end of 2011
