Safeway's commitment to health and safety
Two key concerns. . .
There is no job undertaken by Safeway for which health and safety are not paramount concerns. As a corporation, we are committed to promoting the safest possible worksites not only for our workers but for the public at large.
We adhere stringently not only to our own strict regulations but also to those of ConEd, which detail required training and communication, reporting and investigation, and other matters pertinent to health, safety and operations.
Our staff is trained to handle emergency routines, use respirators, and perform CPR and other rescue methods. They know how to use safety equipment including atmospheric monitors, and are trained in emergency response.
Ongoing training is a prerequisite to health and safety, and it is an area in which Safeway management is never complacent. Training programs at Safeway include:
- CPR
- First Aid
- OSHA site safety for excavations
- Substance abuse symptom recognition
Safeway has a zero-tolerance for drugs and alcohol at work, and all job applicants are drug-tested prior to employment.
