SAFETY AND J OB RULE BOOK

HTG ENGINEERING AND TRADING COMPANY has made s serious commitment to
Safety. In addition to the humanitarian reasons for preventing personal injury, increased
awareness and attention to safety by everyone is essential to the economic health of the
construction industry.
This booklet is issued to identify certain safety and work rules that are mandatory for all
individuals on this project. Following these rules will contribute significantly to your well
being and a successful completion of the project. Violation of some of these rules may
result in immediate dismissal.
Accidents can be prevented through use of good judgement and common sense. By
following safe practices along with all of our safety regulations, those of our customer and
applicable governmental regulations, you can help us in making this project a safe place
of employment for yourself and your fellow employees.
Remember that everyone loses from an accident. We are concerned with your safety.
Help us keep you safe!
If you dont know the safe way well teach you. If you wont work safely, you wont work
here.
A. SAFE PROGRAM RULES
Your safety and accident prevention are of the utmost importance to us, more importantly
to you, and your family who need the protection. To help achieve an accident-free job,
the Safety Rules listed in this booklet will be observed by all employees. Each of us is
required to comply with all regulations. As each project progresses, additional safety
regulations may be required to meet the Owners safety and operational requirements.
Our Safety Program begins with the Construction Manager, who in turn holds each
Supervisor, Engineer and employee accountable for the safety involved in that portion of
work for which each is responsible.
B. GENERAL SAFE PRACTICES
1. All employees shall follow safe procedures, render every aid to safe operation, and
report all unsafe conditions or practices immediately to his/her supervisor.

to enforce these instructions.
3. Always ask your supervisor if you do not know how or are in doubt as to the safe way
of doing your job.
4. Ignorance of safety rules and practices is no excuse for their violation. If you dont
know the safe way to do a job, well teach you. If you wont know the safe way, you
wont be working with us.
5. Help the new or inexperience employee by pointing out potential hazards.
6. Employees are required to attend the weekly tool box safety meeting.

F. MATERIAL HANDLING
1. Remember in lifting, the safe way is the best and easiest way. The back and

muscles of your back. Take a firm grip, secure a good footing, place the feet a
comfortable distance apart, keep the load closed, set your back in its normal S curve
(like a weight lifter), bend your knees, and lift with your legs. If the load is too heavy,
get help. Keep one elbow tucked into your side to prevent twisting and straining your
back.
2. Never use ropes, chains, or slings that are defective. Make sure all loads are centered
in slings before lighting and use extreme care in removing slings from piled stock. Use
tag lines to control the load.
