Operational Messages:
WE ARE GUESTS IN THE COMMUNITY: All personnel should be cautious of their actions while on and off duty.
The sensitivity of the current situation has caused people in the community to become stressed, any inappropriate actions
on the part of our profesionals only increases that stress and causes issue.
Safety Precautions:
The more we work in a potentially hazardous environment the more complacent we can become. Pay Attention,
Go to the Safety Meeting and remember –Only you can prevent accidents.

EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.

When a potential hazard is discovered:
1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.
2. Notify your supervisor. Unless you are the supervisor; then get going on that safety committee plan.
3. File any reports or documents about the problem.
4. Follow up. Telling someone there’s a problem is not a guarantee that the problem will be resolved
satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.
