"NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTORS OF REQUIREMENT OF GENERAL SAFETY PROGRAM" The Frankfort Plant Board requires that all contractors operate in compliance with standards set forth by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation. To comply with the regulations set forth by these agencies it is necessary for each contractor to operate under an established safety program pertaining to the contractor's specific line of business. The primary goal of a safety program is to protect the health and safety of employees and the public. Our goals are also to conserve and protect property and the environment. IT IS OUR ABSOLUTE CONVICTION THAT: This is a moral responsibility of each firm and worker involved. Safe and healthful work is more efficient, effective and inseparable from how we perform our work. Accidents and injuries are unnecessary costs We accomplish work which is free from accident and injury by providing vigorous leadership that is visible through the organization. How well we conduct our work in a hazard-free manner, according to the direction provided, is a key factor in our performance for which we are each accountable. There are certain basic elements that are incorporated into the safety program: Effective management leadership from each contractor; Organization of a General Safety Program; On-site supervisor with authority to carry out their responsibilities including suspension of work to correct unsafe conditions; Proper training and supervision; and Employee participation 35 of 37 INVITATION #1720 Does your organization operate under an established safety program that is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations and does this program embody the philosophies described above?
