Safety Policy Statement
The conservation of the assets of any company, which include the buildings, equipment, supplies and
inventories as well as personnel, must be and is the responsibility of all levels of management. The purpose of a
personnel and property conservation program is to insure that all phases of management recognize that personnel
and property conservation are both inseparable parts of a company’s objective…to produce quality products at the
lowest possible cost.
Safety of personnel in every aspect must be of first consideration. The implementation of a conservation
program will eliminate human suffering and effectively lower the direct and indirect costs resulting from employee
