7.1
SICK DAYS - Industrial Painting And Commercial Painting
Three 3 paid sick days are permitted to all salaried employees. The Company
may require appropriate documentation for such sick leave.
7.2
ACCIDENTS AND ILLNESSES
All accidents, injuries, or illness involving Industrial Painter .com employees,
and customers must be reported to your Supervisor immediately. If available,
the individual should go to the first aid area. It is absolutely essential
that complete accident reports be filled out right after the incident
takes place.
7.3
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
From a practical standpoint, experience is still the best teacher, and
we investigate accidents to determine what happened for the purpose of
detecting what specifically should be done to eliminate or control hazards.
Keep in
mind that an accident isn't exactly the same thing as an injury. An accident
is an unplanned event, something unexpected. It can result in a work interruption,
property loss, injury or even a "near-miss". A heavy tool is dropped from
forty feet, damaging a piece of equipment. A ladder breaks, but no one
is hurt. These are both accidents. Even though no one was hurt they are
still undesirable events and both should be investigated to prevent reoccurrence.
7.4
INVESTIGATE EVERY ACCIDENT
Every accident consists of a cause and a result. An accident involving
a slight injury may reveal as many constructive conclusions as the investigation
of a serious injury. When describing the cause of an accident, be accurate
and specific. Concluding that an accident was caused by "employee carelessness"
does not really identify the problem. Perhaps the person did not have
adequate skill and experience to perform the job correctly. Was the employee
properly trained in the correct methods? These are the kind of specifics,
which can really help when it comes time to take action to prevent the
accident from occurring again.
7.5
ELIMINATING HAZARDS
Remember Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Again,
don't make the mistake of oversimplifying your solution. If someone is
injured by a fall caused by a defective ladder, merely destroying the
ladder is not the proper solution. Perhaps an inspection of all ladders
should be made. Are other crafts in the area responsible for the damage?
Did the employee alter the ladder in some way making it unsafe? Are ladders
of the same brand defective? Was the correct ladder for the job being
used? There can be many reasons and therefore many solutions. Take the
time to find the right one. Don't let the valuable information gained
from an investigation go to waste. Take immediate steps to put your findings
into action.
7.6
MATERNITY LEAVE POLICY
Every salaried female employee is now entitled as a matter of law to at
least eight (8) weeks maternity leave if she complies with the following
conditions:
She has completed
an initial probationary period set by her employer which does not exceed
six (6) months or in the event the employer does not utilize the probationary
period for the position in question, has been employed for at least three
(3) consecutive months; and She gives two (2) weeks notice of her expected
departure date and notice that she intends to return to her job. She is
entitled to return to the same or a similar position without loss of employment
benefits for which she was eligible on the date her leave commenced, if
she terminates her maternity leave within eight (8) weeks.
Accrued sick
leave benefits shall be provided for maternity leave purposes under the
same terms and conditions, which apply to other temporary medical disabilities.
In accordance with Company policy, and the foregoing statutory requirements,
the Company provides every full-time female employee who has been employed
