The personal safety and health of each employee
of Sherwood Construction are of primary importance. To
the greatest degree possible, we will provide all mechanical
and physical facilities necessary for personal safety and
health in keeping with the highest standards.
We will maintain a safety and health program conforming
to the best practices of organizations of this type. To
be successful, such a program must embody the proper attitudes
toward injury and illness prevention on the part of both
supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation
in all safety and health matters, not only between supervisor
and employee, but also between each employee and his or
her fellow workers. Only through such a cooperative effort
can a safety program in the best interest of all be established
and preserved.
Our objective is a safety and health program that will
reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute
minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing, the
best experience of other operations similar to ours.
We recognize that the responsibilities for safety and health
are shared:
Sherwood Construction accepts the responsibility for leadership
of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness
and improvement, and for providing the safeguards necessary
to ensure safe conditions.
Supervisors are responsible for developing the proper attitudes
toward safety and health in themselves and in those they
supervise, and for ensuring that all operations are performed
with utmost regard for the safety and health of all personnel
involved, including themselves.
Employees are responsible for wholehearted, genuine cooperation
with all aspects of the safety and health program-including
compliance with all rules and regulations and for continuously
practicing safety while performing their duties.
