Safety
The Harsco Safeguard Policy
Harsco is committed to the safety of our employees and compliance with applicable statutes, regulations and ordinances throughout our worldwide operations. Based on proven beliefs and principles, our safety program empowers the organization and individuals to achieve the highest level of performance. Our guiding policy is:
- All Injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable
Harsco business operations strive for an injury free workplace; are never satisfied when injuries occur, and take the required action to prevent them.
- All construction and operating exposures can be reasonably safeguarded
For all jobs in which there may be a significant safety hazard, management conducts risk analysis, determines safe work practices, develops safe operating procedures, and takes necessary actions to minimize risk to workers. Jobs that cannot be conducted safely are not undertaken by Harsco.
- Safety is equal to cost, quality and productivity
Harsco daily business decisions give safety equal consideration to other business criteria. Safety is never compromised in order to meet productivity deadlines and/or other business demands.
- Working safely is an essential element of employee performance
All Harsco employees have a responsibility to work safely, report injuries immediately, and participate in accident and incident investigations. Individuals are held accountable to conduct themselves in a way that their actions or inactions do not cause injury to themselves, their co-workers or the general public.
- Safety is a line management responsibility
All Harsco managers and supervisors are responsible and are held accountable to provide a safe and orderly working environment for their employees.
- Line management has a responsibility to train all employees to work safely
Harsco employees are trained on jobs in which there may be a significant safety hazard. Harsco managers reinforce training by routinely observing employee work habits.
