Irwin Industries, Inc. is committed to the health and safety of its
employees, both on and off the job. Safety is not an option, never compromised, and takes precedence over all other job factors. Irwin's goal
is to eliminate, injuries, illnesses, and
property damage resulting from unsafe conditions or acts. We believe
that all work place injuries and illnesses can be prevented.
Irwin's goal is to provide a safe and healthful place to work for its
employees. Irwin provides the safe working conditions, training,
equipment, tools, facilities, and management necessary to achieve this
goal.
The company's commitment to safety applies equally to all employees,
at all levels, at every job site, office and shop.
No employee will be required to work in unsafe conditions or to
perform unsafe acts. No employee will be discriminated against for
reporting unsafe acts or conditions, or for refusing to participate in
work that is unsafe.
The company is proactive in safety, with a focus on identifying
and correcting work place hazards before injuries and illnesses occur.
The company stays abreast of legislative and regulatory requirements
as well as leading edge developments in safety programs such as
worker-to-worker concern, behavior-based or employee-based safety
programs. Irwin’s impressive safety record is a result of the JSA
Doctrine, which was created from these programs. Irwin seeks to
develop and maintain cooperative and teamwork oriented relations in
safety with all our customers.
The company implements, administers, and monitors appropriate safety
and health programs for its employees. This includes industrial
hygiene and medical monitoring programs, as necessary. The company
develops appropriate safety rules, regulations, and safe practices, and
communicate these to all employees.
Employees are trained in the skills and safe practices necessary
to work in a safe and responsible manner, and in the hazards,
precautions, and consequences associated with their work.
The company promotes and enables employee participation in safety
programs. Irwin recognizes that employee engagement is key to the
success of our safety program. Appropriate recognition is provided
for superior safe work performance.
Safety policies and regulations are strictly and uniformly
enforced. Appropriate disciplinary policies are maintained and
communicated.
The Job Safety Assessment (JSA) Program is the company
doctrine for safe work practice. It is based on the principle that all
accidents are preventable and the universal goal of zero accidents is
emphasized. The program flourishes at the worker level and everyone is
encouraged to conduct self-assessment and co-worker concern oversight.
