Disciplinary Procedures Employees who fail to comply with safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Supervisors will follow the normal disciplinary procedures as follows: 1) Verbal counseling must be documented in the employee's personnel file. 2) Written warning -outlining nature of offense and necessary corrective action. 3) Suspension without pay -once (1) working day without pay -the third step or a separate disciplinary action resulting from a serious violation. 4) Termination -if an employee is to be terminated, specific and documented communication between the supervisor and the employee must occur. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action for the following reasons: • Repeated safety rule violation by their department employees. • Failure to provide adequate training prior to job assignment. • Failure to report accidents and provide medical attention to employees injured at work. • Failure to control unsafe conditions or work practices. • Failure to maintain good housekeeping standards and cleanliness in their departments. Supervisors who fail to maintain high standards of safety within their departments will be demoted or terminated after three documented warnings have been levied during any calendar year. Accident Reporting &Investigation It is the policy of CTC to carry out a thorough program of accident reporting and investigation. Supervisory personnel will be primarily responsible for conducting an investigation of all accidents in their area. Accidents involving fire, death, serious injury, or extensive property damage will be investigated jointly by the supervisor and upper management. The primary goal of the accident investigation program is the prevention of future accidents through the use of knowledge derived from the investigation. Additionally, the investigation will be used to prepare reports required by Federal and State law as well as the Workers Compensation insurance carrier. These reports are critical in establishing the company's and the supervisor's liability under the law. When an employee is injured at work the supervisor is responsible for taking emergency action to have fist aid administered, to obtain professional medical attention as soon as possible, and to protect other employees and equipment. The supervisor must then begin to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The following procedures have been found to be effective when investigating accidents. Go to the scene of the accident at once. Talk with the injured person if possible. Talk to witnesses. Stress getting the facts -not placing blame or responsibility. Ask open-ended questions. Listen for clues in the conversations around you. Page 69 of 87
