In short

  • Report any hazard, near miss or injury to the office at once. You will never be punished for reporting.
  • You can report on the hazard form, by phone, or anonymously.
  • If a hazard could seriously hurt you right now, leave the area, make sure the client is safe or call 911, and call the office.
  • Use safe lifting, never mix cleaning products, and follow the transfer method in the service plan.
  • You can ask for a copy of the Injury and Illness Prevention Program and get it within five business days.
