To achieve this goal, every reasonable effort is made to eliminate conditions and procedures that might lead to accidents. MP Technologies provides equipment that is well maintained and appropriate for the job task. We provide necessary personal protective equipment and the training to perform the job safely.

We maintain a safety and health program that conforms to the best practices of organizations in our industry. To be successful, this program promotes an attitude toward injury and illness prevention for superintendents, foremen and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and health matters, not only between the foreman and the employee, but also between each employee and his or her fellow workers. Only through such a cooperative effort can a safety record be established and maintained.

Our safety program includes the following:

1. A job hazard analysis program to identify and eliminate/control unsafe working procedures or practices.

2. A self-inspection program administered by the Safety Committee to identify and correct hazardous conditions.

3. Training guidelines for all employees.

4. Necessary personal protective equipment and instructions in proper care and use.

5. Developed and enforced work safety rules as a condition of employment.

6. Prompt and thorough reporting and investigation of every accident.

7. A system of recognition and awards for exceptional safety performance.

8. Annual review and modification when appropriate.

Documented employee safety training is critical to MP Technology’s program. It ensures that workers are made aware of workplace hazards and that appropriate precautions are taken to avoid an accident and/or injury.

Training is required in the following situations:

1. When new employees are hired.

2. When employees transfer to a new work area.

3. When employees are required to perform a new job function.

4. When employees return-to-work after a long lay off, illness or injury.

5. For all employees who perform unusual, seasonal, or extremely hazardous jobs.

6. For all employees when operations or processes change significantly.

7. For all foremen, managers, and lead employees to ensure they are familiar with all safety program elements.

8. Whenever mandated by outside regulatory agencies such as OSHA.

All Training sessions must be documented in a training log, indicating who was trained, date trained, who completed the training, and what was covered in the session.
