PINK ELEPHANT to the attention of a supervisor/manager?

SAFETY Is Everyone’s Responsibility

Think of the PINK ELEPHANT as a safety hazard.

If you noticed the PINK ELEPHANT but did nothing, you acted in an unsafe manner by letting a safety hazard go uncorrected. You put yourself and your worker’s at risk.

Why didn’t you bring thePINK ELEPHANT toanyone’s attention? NEXT5

If you noticed the PINK ELEPHANT and discussed it with other employees, you notified the wrong people. Again, a safety hazard was left uncorrected and endangered lives.

Why did you tell yourco-workers about thePINK ELEPHANT?

You acted in your ownbest interest and that ofyour co-workers.

To prevent accidents and eliminate safety hazards, we are introducing a “Stop Me” Program.

The purpose of this program isto keep you and your co-workers safe. It gives you the opportunity to recognize and report hazardsand near-misses so that wecan stop accidents before they happen.

How many of you have stopped an unsafe action from occurring?

SAFETY Is Everyone’s Responsibility

We have a safety culture that does not accept accidents. As a company, we give you the authority to stop any unsafe act that you see.

Let’s review the “Stop Me” Program.

NEXT12

• You have the AUTHORITY to stop and question any employee who youbelieve to be performing an unsafe act.• You have the RESPONSIBILITY to stop

and question any employee who you believe to be performing an unsafe act.

• If you witness an unsafe act, immediately stop the individual (only if it is safe to do so).
