1-Introduction
We recognize that employees on the whole normally govern their activities while
at work in the same high standards of conduct that they use for their personal
affairs. But we recognize that safety violations do occur and when they do we
want to address such violations in a fair, impartial and consistent manner. By
using progressive discipline, it is our belief that most employee problems can be
corrected in the early stages, thus benefiting both the employee and the
company. Open and clear communications between the employee and the
management promotes understanding, and is the key to preclude the need for
any disciplinary action.
2. Purpose
The purpose of this Guideline is to state EPCLs position on administering
equitable and consistent discipline of violations related to health and safety on
the site. This Guideline ensures fair treatment of all employees and contractors in
making certain that disciplinary actions are prompt, uniform and impartial. The
primary purpose of this disciplinary plan is to correct the problem, prevent
recurrence and prepare the employee for satisfactory service in the future.
The primary purpose of discipline is to educate, not to punish. It is the policy of
EPCL to make use of disciplinary procedures when necessary to obtain
employee adherence to acceptable standards of conduct.
This Guideline would help management establish the severity of a safety
violation and help lead the case to the Human Resources Process of managing
violations.
