Employee Participation

Behavior Based Safety Management

JRM has implemented a Behavioral Based Safety Management system that is fully supported by management, but employee driven using the following foundation principals:

• Identify critical behaviors from incident, near miss and dispensary reports
• Gather data by field observation
• Give feedback on performance following an observation
• Remove any barriers that prevent safe behavior through action planning

Hazard and Suggestion Reporting

A "Right-to-Refuse Unsafe Work" policy is fully supported for all employees, contractors, vendors, and customers. A system is implemented for all personnel to report hazardous or unsafe work conditions and/or offer suggestions on improving the HSES system through the use of a STEP/STOP Card System.

HSES Councils and Meetings

Workers/craftsmen are also directly involved in the safety program through:

• Daily pre-shift Toolbox Meetings
• Monthly Safety Councils chaired by the Division Managers
• Participation from all employee levels including management, supervisors, field hourly employees, customers, and subcontractors

Communication of HSES Information

Employees are also made aware of any new or changes to HSES related information through issuance of polices and procedures, JSA's, HAZIDs, guidance information, tool-box meetings, training classes, safety alerts, signs, labels, etc.

Awards and Recognition

An employee award and recognition program (Presidents Award) that recognizes employees for achieved HSES efforts and accomplishments has been established to foster employee involvement. These awards are not used as an incentive for safety performance, but rather a show of appreciation for HSES achievements and to promote the company's commitment to HSES excellence. Awards and recognition are administered through a committee made up of managers, field supervisors and field employees.
