. INTRODUCTION Although CSI services many diverse accounts, we all share similar exposures and in many cases, similar operations. Within the janitorial operations, the exposures remain consistent, ie: equipment use, chemical use, material handling, and exposures to slips and falls. As a consequence, our accident experience over the years is categorized very specifically in improper lifting procedures, pushing /pulling, striking against objects, slips, trips, and falls. Our major losses are in Worker's Compensation and General Liability. Therefore, the need for a comprehensive safety and loss prevention program is obvious and hence the development of the ISSP. The primary objective is to provide a "standard" operational loss control program. Crtiteria for this program are: • easy to follow • consistent with CSI operations • effective • measurable • comprehensive • compliance with regulatory authorities • The secondary objective is to provide a package, for bid proposals, which is "state of the art" and sincere in its intent to address safety. • The IS SP has been developed for all employees at all job sites. It meets or exceeds OSHA safety and health standards, as well as, having the flexibility to conform to the diversity of our varied customers' safety needs. It is an easy to follow, workable program specifically designed for CSI operations. • The IS SP should be implemented at each site where there are ten (10) or more employees. Our focus is in janitorial since this is our core business and where most exposures lie. For those sites with less than ten employees, the Site Level Program would be administered or supervised by the Supervisor. • It is reasonable to believe that accidents can be avoided through good employee selection, training, commn sense, and an effective on -going safety program which perpetuates a positive "safety attitude." All levels of management must set the example for employees to follow. Safety is a concept which must be continously re- enforced. Think safety... train your employees to be aware, cautious, and observant. • We must create and maintain a safe healthful work environment. Such an environment facilitates professionalism, standardization, and the efficiencies we all strive for.
