Prime at all times ensures a safe work environment, as statutorily required by Section 5 of the OSH Act of 1970.   In so doing, Prime provides to all employees working conditions that are free of those hazards likely to inflict serious injury or death upon them.   In accordance with 29 U.S.C. 673, Prime fully and timely reports to OSHA, and those affiliated agencies, any workplace accident that is statutorily defined as “reportable.”    Prime also fosters a workplace that allows for employees to freely, independently, and without the fear of retaliation, report the following:  1) any work place hazards, 2) the need for workplace hazard correction, or 3) any reportable workplace injuries.

As a condition of employment, all PRIME employees must comply with PRIME’s OHSA safety training and any related company rules, protocols, and programs.  PRIME’s OSHA safety program and policies are designed to ensure the safety of all PRIME employees.  PRIME employees are at all times required to dutifully comply with any and all of PRIME’s OHSA safety requirements throughout the duration of their employ at PRIME.

By providing signature to this initially-executed job description profile, the employee acknowledges that any changed responsibilities and/or related performance tasks will be fully and continuously adhered to in combination with, and furtherance of, the provisions agreed to herein.
