HEALTH SAFETY ENVIRONMENT
Safety Mission Statement
Frank’s Group is committed to the protection of all of its resources, including employees, vendors, contractors and guests, physical assets and environment, from any accidental loss or damage. In fulfilling this commitment to protect both people and property, management will provide and maintain a safe and healthy work environment in accordance with industry standards and in compliance with legislative requirements, and will strive to eliminate and/or control any foreseeable hazards which may result in property damage, or personal injury/illness.
Frank’s Group recognizes and fully supports the employees' right to work in a safe and healthy environment. All employees will be equally responsible and accountable for minimizing accidents within our facilities. Safe work practices and procedures will be clearly defined in the Safety Manual for all employees to follow. All employees can report unsafe work practices, tasks and procedures to any member of management for correction without fear of repercussion. Accidental loss can be controlled through good management in combination with active employee involvement. Safety performance is the direct responsibility of all managers, foremen, lead hands and employees. All management functions will comply with legislative safety requirements as they relate to planning, operation and maintenance of facilities and equipment.
All employees will perform their jobs properly in accordance with established procedures and safe work practices. An injury and incident free work site is our goal. Through continuous safety and loss control effort, we can accomplish this. The Health and Safety Program and its contents are developed through the communication and feedback of both workers and management. The program and commitment will continue to evolve and improve through this partnership.
