Enforcement of Safety Rules - A Sample Policy
Safety at our company is a critical area involving many topics. In general, enforcement beyond Level 1 will not be necessary. However, should the need arise, the following provisions will apply.
A combination of six Level 1 enforcements or three Level 2 enforcements subjects the involved individual to the maximum of Level 2 or to Level 3 enforcement.
Note: As always, company policies (such as this example) should be reviewed by your corporate attorney.
