Safety is our first priority:
While productivity, cost and quality are core business values, we will not compromise safety for their sake.
All accidents are preventable and all hazards controllable: All personnel are expected to perform their assigned tasks safely with a high degree of alertness to the hazards of the workplace. Everyone is expected to participate in the elimination and control of these hazards and to encourage the safe behavior of others.
Working safely is a condition of employment: Each and every employee of Johns Manville is expected to work safely in accordance with the training they have received and to actively participate in the Johns Manville safety process.
Safety is everyone's responsibility: The entire organization - from top management through every employee - is responsible for safety. It is management's role to establish these safety commitments as our highest priority and to communicate safety expectations in a visible and inspiring manner.
People will need to be trained to perform their jobs safely prior to being assigned these tasks: No one will be permitted to perform a job prior to demonstrating that he or she understands and can perform the job safely. All personnel are expected to adhere to these training requirements.
Each location will have an active Safety Management Plan that is equivalent to those for production and quality: The same thoroughness and intensity of thought will be placed on safety management as on other aspects of business management. This includes setting standards of performance and improvement goals.
Audits are essential for maintaining safety performance:
Management and employees will actively observe and involve themselves with the safety performance and behaviors of others inorder to encourage those that are safe, and correct those that are unsafe. Safety excellence will be encouraged to further stimulate performance improvements.
