Safety Policy

The personal safety and health of each employee of all SDIC members is of primary importance. Assistance to members in their quest for the prevention of occupational induced injuries and illnesses will be given precedence whenever necessary. To the greatest degree possible, the administration and staff of the SDIC will assist representatives of its members in their endeavor to take measures necessary and practical to prevent occupational accidents and illnesses as they provide for personal safety and health of their employees.

With that objective in mind, the SDIC has developed a comprehensive Workplace Safety Manual designed to outline the responsibilities of the SDIC administration and of the individual members. This manual will serve as a blueprint of action and activities that optimally will achieve the goal.

The SDIC pledges to provide necessary assistance to its members and to make available resources that will be required by members to comply with elements of the Workplace Safety Manual. The SDIC Accident and Illness Prevention Program Coordinator, appointed by the SDIC Board of Directors, will have the responsibility of communications with all members and for expediting essential services and resources as requested of members in their pursuit of implementation of their Accident and Illness Prevention Programs.
