Transcription

1 AWAIR: Accident and Injury Prevention Program Coborn s Incorporated Safety Statement and Objectives The Coborn s Incorporated ( Coborn s ) Accident and Injury Prevention Program philosophy is that every employee is entitled to a safe and healthful work environment. We have adopted a Safety First attitude and culture designed to Start F-R-E-S-H (Focus-Review-Evaluate- Suggest-Help) with Safety; and therefore our Program is focused on the protection of our employees and customers. It is the responsibility of every employee to make safety and injury prevention a top priority. We acknowledge that every employee is concerned for his or her own safety and the safety of co-workers and customers and will recognize that safety rules and policies are for their protection. The goals we have set for our Injury Prevention Program will be achieved only through a cooperative effort among all employees. Safe work habits, on the job awareness and knowledge of all safety rules and policies are a condition of employment at Coborn s. All employees are required to attend training to become familiar with rules and policies and to abide by them. These rules and policies will be enforced just as any other company policy. Failure to comply will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. All employees are encouraged to make suggestions that will assist in maintaining safe work conditions and should bring these suggestions to their supervisor s attention. It is through our joint participation that accidents can be prevented, but only you can make safe work practices a habit. Accidents cause pain and suffering and wasted time and money, not only in increased workers compensation and general liability claims, but also in lost work time. Coborn s is committed to providing our employees with a safe place to work and our customers a safe place to shop. We require your assistance and participation to ensure the safety of our employees and customers. Our policy toward safety is in no way limited to the rules that follow. All unsafe practices, whether listed here or not, will be addressed. Our goal is simple: To Work Towards Zero Accidents.

8 Employee Training The training of all employees (including management) is vital in a successful Injury Prevention Program. Coborn s management provides training to all employees. Safety training is not a one-time occurrence. Continual monitoring and interaction between employees and Supervisors demonstrates accident prevention efforts. Safety rules and safe work procedures should be discussed specifically with each employee on an ongoing basis. Work routines should be reviewed periodically. Employees should be given explanations of potential hazards to avoid and safeguards to follow. Discussions should include a review of safety procedures, along with an explanation of why they are necessary. It may become necessary to retrain employees in safety rules or procedures. It is vital to our Injury Prevention Program that all safety training programs and meetings be carefully documented. Training programs will include but are not limited to the following: 1. AWAIR Program 2. Annual Safety Training 3. Power Industrial Truck Training 4. All other company safety and health policies Accident Reporting and Investigation The management at Coborn s accepts the responsibility for minimizing losses due to unsafe practices by promptly and accurately investigating all accidents whether an injury occurs or not. Accident investigation is a vital part of our Injury Prevention Program and is designed to prevent or control unsafe practices. The information obtained in a thorough investigation will assist in determining when an accident occurred and then give a basis for taking corrective action. The investigation must include a written report. Accident Investigation Procedure: The Supervisor/Department Manager is responsible for conducting the accident investigation. The Location Manager is responsible for overseeing and ensuring the investigation is submitted. However, the Safety Manager or Workers Compensation/General Liability Claims Coordinator may find it necessary to also be involved in the investigation. An investigation should always be done as soon after the accident as possible. Facts should be gathered and statements taken while the accident is still fresh in the minds of those involved. If possible, every employee and/or customer who is involved or who witnessed the incident should be interviewed. All possible causes should be studied and accurate details should be obtained. The accident investigator should interview witnesses separately and caution should be used in jumping to hasty conclusions. If the accident was captured on video, ensure the video is saved on a disc and the disc is forwarded with the report. Remember, the purpose of the investigation is fact-finding not fault finding.

9 Every accident must be taken seriously. When an employee or customer is injured, the Location Manager, or Manager on Duty must be notified immediately. NOTE: Incidents resulting in death, amputation, or severe injuries requiring hospitalization, the Location Manager must immediately notify the District Manager, Chief Operations Officer and Human Resources Director. Once notified, the Location Manager or Manager of Duty will follow these procedures: Accident Reporting for Employee Injuries: 1. The Location Manager or Manager on Duty will assess the situation and talk with the employee so proper medical attention can be provided. For serious injuries or those requiring immediate medical attention, immediately dial 911 (after obtaining an outside line). For non-serious injuries or for assistance until professional help arrives, generally, only those employees properly trained on how to respond and to protect themselves are to provide first aid. Employees that have not received proper training should call a member of the Emergency Response Team to respond. Should an emergency necessitate response prior to help arriving, emergency first aid may be administered with proper infection control procedures followed. In a serious incident, do not attempt to move the employee. Instead comfort them and offer any other assistance they may need. If necessary, monitor foot traffic around the employee to prevent further injury. 2. In non-emergency situations, the Location Manager or Manager on Duty will complete a First Report of Injury (FROI) form immediately and send it to the claims.line@cobornsinc.com or fax it to Claims at (320) In emergency situations, the FROI should be completed and submitted as soon as practical to do so. North Dakota locations will complete a First Report of Injury on-line via the North Dakota Workforce Safety & Insurance (WSI) website and submit forms to WSI via the internet with a copy sent to the Worker s Compensation/General Liability Claims Coordinator. All FROI forms must be submitted within 24 hours. 3. The Location Manager, or Manager on Duty, must take pictures of the accident scene using a digital camera or manual camera for locations without . Take photos of any spill/hazard, even if the floor is clean and dry, indoors or outdoors. The area should be documented as it appeared at the time the incident occurred. If the accident was captured on video, ensure the video is saved on a disc and the disc is forwarded with the report. 4. After the injured worker is attended to, remove any safety hazards, take care of any maintenance issues and if necessary, address safety violations. If clean-up is required, Emergency Response Team members or the Sanitation Staff will be responsible for clean-up. Ensure proper infection control procedures are followed and appropriate personal protective equipment is utilized. In the event major clean-up service is needed, the area should be sealed off and the ServiceMaster on-call Project Manager ( ) contacted to provide clean up services. 5. The injured employee s direct Supervisor/Department Manager will be responsible for completing an investigation to find all the causes and to determine corrective action to prevent recurrence. The Supervisor/Department Manager will complete the Supervisor s Investigation Report in its entirety, including witness interview information, and submit it to the Location Manager for review and signature (See Preparing a Written Report below for details). 6. The Location Manager will send the Supervisor s Investigation Report to the Policy: AWAIR Program Date Issued: May 1, 2013 Date Updated: May 1, 2013 Page 9 of 15

10 or fax to Claims immediately at (320) If possible, the Location Manager will correct any apparent hazards immediately or take appropriate action to ensure it will be corrected. 8. If an accident results in an employee receiving work restrictions, we will make every effort to return the employee back to work as soon as possible following the Company s Return to Work Policy. Any limitations will be accommodated to the best of our ability. Location Managers are responsible for monitoring employee s work restrictions and immediately notify the Workers Compensation/General Liability Claims Coordinator of any changes. Accident Reporting for Customer Injuries: 1. The Location Manager or Manager on Duty will assess the situation and talk with the customer so proper medical attention can be provided. Offer to call for emergency services if needed. If necessary, a member of the Emergency Response Team will be contacted and, upon customer approval or if the customer is unconscious, 911 called (after obtaining an outside line). If the customer denies emergency services but it appears that they may not be making a rational decision and you deem that emergency services may be necessary, notify them that you will be calling 911 to error on the side of caution; however they may refuse services when they arrive. If services are refused, there is no cost to them. Should an emergency necessitate response prior to help arriving, emergency first aid may be administered with proper infection control procedures followed. In a serious incident, do not attempt to move the customer. Instead comfort them and offer any other assistance they may need. If necessary, monitor foot traffic around the customer to prevent further injury. 2. In non-emergency situations, the Location Manager or Manager on Duty will complete a Customer Incident/Accident form immediately and send it to the claims.line@cobornsinc.com or fax it to Claims at (320) In emergency situations, the form should be completed and submitted as soon as practical to do so. Forms must be submitted within 24 hours. When gathering information on a claim, gather the facts in a neutral tone. Talk to the injured person and comfort them while waiting for medical attention. Listen carefully to the customer s claim. You may also obtain further details as they tell their account of what happened. Remember do not admit fault or offer/promise any payment or coverage as we cannot make that determination. 3. Inform them that our insurance provider will be in contact with them within 24 hours of receiving the claim. 4. The Location Manager, or Manager on Duty, must take pictures of the accident scene using a digital camera or manual camera for locations without . Take photos of any spill/hazard, even if the floor is clean and dry, indoors or outdoors. The area should be documented as it appeared at the time the incident occurred. If the accident was captured on video, ensure the video is saved on a disc and the disc is forwarded with the report. 5. After the injured customer is attended to, remove any safety hazards, take care of any maintenance issues and if necessary, address safety violations. If clean-up is required, Emergency Response Team members or the Sanitation Staff will be responsible for clean-up. Ensure proper infection control procedures are followed and appropriate personal protective equipment is utilized. In the event major clean-up service is needed, Policy: AWAIR Program Date Issued: May 1, 2013 Date Updated: May 1, 2013 Page 10 of 15

11 the area should be sealed off and the ServiceMaster on-call Project Manager ( ) contacted to provide clean up services. 6. The Location Manager should complete the Employee Witness form with any employees that may have witnessed the incident and forward them with the Customer Incident/Accident form to the or fax to Claims immediately at (320) If possible, the Location Manager will correct any apparent hazards immediately or take appropriate action to ensure it will be corrected. Preparing a written report: All possible questions related to the accident must be answered and corrective actions must be recommended. 1. Personnel and background information. Name of the person involved in the accident. What are the nature of the injuries and the injured body parts? If an employee, what are the employee s regular job tasks? 2. Accident description and related information. Give the exact location of the accident. What specifically was the injured person doing at the time? What type of accident occurred? Was the employee properly trained to perform the task? 3. Witness information. Information on witnesses name, what they were doing at the time of the incident, and detailed account of what witnesses saw or heard prior to, during or immediately after the incident. Confine information to facts only. 4. Analysis of accident causes. What did the injured person do or fail to do that may have contributed directly to the accident? What defective or otherwise unsafe condition of tools, equipment, machinery, structures or work contributed directly to the accident? Was personal protective equipment (PPE) required and, if so was it available and worn? Was employee instructed on use of PPE? What was the primary type of unsafe action or condition involved? 5. Actions to prevent accident recurrence. Indicate actions needed to prevent recurrence. Identify persons responsible for planned corrective actions. 6. Miscellaneous information. Who investigated the accident? Enforcement Process Responsibilities do not stop with Management. Employees are responsible to obey all company rules and to work in such a manner that will prevent injury to themselves, co-workers, or customers. The Company s intent is not to discipline employees who are involved in non-preventable accidents. Coborn s position is to work with employees to assist them in performing duties safely. Should there be a violation of safety rules or policies, we will issue the appropriate level of disciplinary action. Employees may be terminated for flagrant violations of company policies and procedures. Termination may also occur if an employee persists in continued or repeated violations of company rules after repeated warnings and continues at an unacceptable level of performance.
