8.3 SAFETY SUGCESTION FORM NOTE 1 - One of the important steps in any safety program is to recognize unsafe conditions and work methods.

HQIE 2 - A second step is to eliminate these unsafe conditions or, if they cannot be eliminated, at least in >rm personnel that the unsafe condition exists.

NOTE 3 - In many cases, the unsafe conditions can be eliminated by the individual.

Poor housekeeping, tripping hazards, and fire hazards are often examples of unsafe conditions that can be-eliminated by the individual.

8.3.1.1 Conditions which may require immediate attention should also be reported directly to the Fire Protection / Industrial Safety Supervisor.

8.3.2 If an unsafe condition requires a modification or change in equipment, it should not be corrected by the individual without having been reviewed by the appropriate personnel.

8.3.3 If it is not convenient for the individual to discuss the unsafe condition with their Supervisor or if the individual does not get satisfactory answers, explanation, or action, then Attachment 1 Safety Suggestion Form, is available and should be used.

of the form, submit it to their Department Supervisor, and send a copy to the Safety Committee Secretary.
