RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYSTEM SAFETY AND SYSTEM OPERATIONS <br />Management of Unsafe Conditions <br />• Eliminate hazards by removing the machines, tool, method, material, or structure that is <br />causing the hazard through appropriate means. Contacting officials of OSHA, or EPA, <br />may be necessary for proper disposal. <br />• Control the hazard by enclosing or guarding the point of hazard at the source. <br />• Train personnel on steps to take when confronted by a hazardous condition and provide <br />procedures to safely avoid the hazard. <br />• Provide and ensure the use of personal protective equipment to shield employees from <br />the hazard. <br />At no time should protective devices or safety practices be set aside to get the job done faster and <br />cheaper. The price paid for such indiscretion may greatly exceed the anticipated gain from the <br />action. <br />Designated Safety Official (Risk Management) <br />The Supervisor or Lead Safety Officer is the individual who is directly responsible for <br />implementing the System Safety Program. It is the basic responsibility of the supervisor to plan <br />and conduct safe operations.

It is <br />the responsibility of each supervisor of the Transit System to provide explicit instructional <br />and procedural safety training for each employee. Safety becomes a shared responsibility <br />between management and the employee, and working safely is a condition of employment. <br />Employees are required to identify, report and correct unsafe conduct and conditions. Under <br />(OSHA) 29 CFR part 1910; employees have the right to report any unsafe working conditions <br />without being subjected to any retaliation whatsoever. Each employee must be an integral part <br />of the SYSTEM SAFETY PROGRAM. <br />All transit employees are required to attend safety meetings. Safety meetings involve employees <br />in the Safety Program and are very useful ways of training employees.
