The management of Reliant is committed to providing staff with a safe and healthy workplace. It is the policy of Reliant that staff members report unsafe conditions and do not perform work tasks if the work is considered unsafe. Staff members must report all accidents, injuries, and unsafe conditions to their supervisors or to Human Resourcesthe Reliant Central Office. No such report will result in retaliation, penalty, or other disincentive. Staff members’ recommendations to improve safety and health conditions will be given thorough consideration by our management team. Management will give top priority to and provide the financial resources for the correction of unsafe conditions. Similarly, management will take disciplinary action against a staff member who willfully or repeatedly violates workplace safety rules. This action may include verbal or written reprimands and may ultimately result in termination of employment.
