First Aid
Federal law (OSHA) requires that records be maintained for all
illnesses and accidents which occur during the workday. The
Michigan Workman’s Compensation Act also requires that you
report any illness or injury on the job, no matter how slight. If
you hurt yourself or become ill, please contact your manager for
assistance. Failing to report an injury may jeopardize your right
to collect workers’ compensation payments as well as health
benefits. OSHA also provides for your right to know about any
health hazards, which might be present on the job. Contact your
manager for any questions or concerns you may have.
Housekeeping
Neatness and good housekeeping are signs of efficiency. You are
expected to keep your work area neat and orderly at all times—it
is a required safety precaution.
Please put all litter in the appropriate receptacles and containers
located throughout the facility. Always be aware of good health
and safety standards, including fire prevention. Please report
anything that needs repairing or replacing to your manager
immediately.
