which enhance safety standards.

It is an employee’s duty to follow all company directives regarding the prevention
of accidents, unless such directives can be proved to be unfounded.

Employees should not follow any instructions that go against safety standards.

Employees are only permitted to use equipment for its original purpose, and this

•
If an employee detects equipment that is deficient in terms of safety, he shall

his defined area of activities, or if his knowledge is insufficient to carry out such
work he must immediately inform his superior about the detected safety
deficiency.
