Lutheran
Augustana Center for Extended Care & Rehabilitation is committed to
providing a safe workplace environment to protect our employees from injury
or illness. All employees shall receive basic training on how to recognize
and protect themselves from various hazardous materials and waste. A key
component to achieving our safety objective is the employee’s responsibility
to always utilize safe practices when performing his or her job and to
promptly notify his or her Supervisor of any unsafe equipment or condition
so that corrective action may be taken.
Employee training will be provided upon employment, when an employee changes
jobs to one that exposes him or her to hazards which he or she has not
been trained, when a new hazard is introduced into the employee’s
workplace, or when new information becomes available about a substance
(chemical) already in use in the workplace.
Material-Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) are accessible to employees for every
chemical used in the facility considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard’s definitions. MSDS’s are available
on each nursing unit, in the executive office, in each respective department
and at the reception desk in the main lobby.
The Director of Environmental Services serves as the facility’s
Safety Officer. The Safety Committee meets every six weeks and is comprised
of employees representing each department.
Augustana values the opinion of its employees and welcomes any suggestions
regarding workplace safety or other matters affecting an employee’s
job. |
