Workplace Safety/Accident Prevention

It is the interest of the County to provide a safe environment for employees and to properly manage any conditions, hazards or incidents that do develop so as to minimize injury and other forms of loss. All employees shall adhere to County safety rules and regulations and shall immediately report unsafe conditions or practices to their immediate supervisor. As a County employee, you have a personal responsibility to keep yourself, co-workers, and equipment free from accident. Doing the job safely is as much a part of job performance as technical knowledge, skill or ability. Therefore, you should report any unsafe practice and conditions to your supervisor at once. Delay may result in serious injury.

All injuries must be reported to your supervisor immediately! If you are injured on the job (or if you are a witness to an injury), you must report the incident as soon as possible after taking necessary action to prevent further injury or death. You may also be required to make a written report about the incident to County management. The County welcomes and encourages suggestions from all employees regarding safety.
