Section 1.00 INTRODUCTION <br />It is the intention of Waste Industries, in the development of its Safety Policies and Procedures <br />Manual, to achieve a workplace free from recognized hazards and a healthful work environment for <br />employees, as well as the communities in which we work. The company maintains an active safety effort <br />as set forth in our business principles: "To operate efficiently through attention to details at all levels <br />of our company while preserving and protecting our people, our equipment, our financial <br />resources and our environment ". Company safety efforts originate from sound business practices; <br />federal statutes, and; state and local laws that regulate our industry. <br />To fulfill the Safety Policy ideals, each and every employee will have to participate fully. A job, <br />task or work practice should not be considered until every safety aspect, reasonable precaution and for <br />rule has been reviewed and followed. The goals of efficiency, productivity and safety are inseparable. <br />This Safety Policy and Procedures Manual, is applicable to Waste Industries (WI) and all of its <br />subsidiaries involved in the collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste. The terms "Risk <br />Management ", "Safety" and "Loss Control" are used interchangeably throughout the manual. Waste <br />Industries will establish annual safety goals and objectives for the company and for each branch. It is <br />expected that the company and each branch will work towards achieving and/or exceeding the set goals <br />and objectives. <br />The safety and health of all Waste Industries employees, our customers and our neighbors, will <br />continue to be an integral part of how we do business. Not because of government regulations, state law <br />or enforcement agencies, but because "it's the right thing to do ". <br />Jim W. Perry <br />President and Chief Operating Officer <br />P <br />
