Part of the supervisor’s daily housekeeping
responsibilities are to insure that hoses (air, water, electrical
and hydraulic, etc.) are maintained in such a manner as to
preclude tripping hazards and to promote good housekeeping
principles. In keeping with this plant policy and the discussions
during 1979 Local Negotiations, a program will be developed to
eliminate tripping hazards. A joint survey will be conducted by
the Senior Safety Engineer and the Union Health and Safety
Representative to identify locations in which hoses and wires
present tripping hazards. The results of the survey will be
forwarded to the Plant Engineering Department. Plant Engineering
will conduct the program and effect the necessary modifications to
correct these problems. It is the Company’s intent that plant
forces be utilized to perform the work required.
In addition, emphasis will be placed on the installation of hooks,
brackets, etc., on new installations and in conjunction with
plant rearrangements to reduce the potential of this problem
recurring. To insure compliance with these objectives, the Senior Safety
Engineer will audit the production areas and progress on the
program will be communicated to the Health and Safety
Representative.
