OUR PEOPLE

Safe And Healthy Workplace

Safety is our first priority and is an integral part of everything we do. Each of us is responsible for acting in a way that protects the physical and psychological well-being of ourselves and others.

We can only achieve our goal of a safe and healthy workplace through the active participation and support of everyone. Situations that may pose a health, safety or environmental hazard should be reported immediately. All reports can be made without fear of retaliation. Remember OUC’s rule: if you see something, say something.

Safety is a condition of employment, and we expect the commitment of each Commissioner, Management and employee to make OUC an accident-free workplace.

BE RELIABLY ETHICAL:

• Put safety first by following safety, security and health rules and practices that apply to your job, including the Safe Work Practices Manual.

• Actively participate in safety meetings and training sessions.

• Notify your immediate supervisor or manager immediately about any unsafe equipment, conditions or any situation that could pose a threat to health or safety or damage the environment. As an employee, you have the right and the responsibility to stop any work if you feel your safety is at risk.

• Report all accidents and injuries while on duty, whether vehicular or personal, to Service Dispatch and your immediate supervisor or manager.

• Wear all required personal protective equipment. Ask for guidance if you are ever unsure which equipment to use.

• Maintain a neat, safe working environment by keeping workstations, aisles, OUC vehicles and other workspaces free from obstacles, wires and other potential hazards.

• Help each other by speaking out when a coworker’s conduct makes others uncomfortable.

STAY ALERT FOR:

• Unsafe practices or work conditions or other violations of our safety and security rules and regulations.

• Carelessness in enforcing site/ physical security standards, such as facility entry procedures and cybersecurity protocols [information security policy].
