3. DISCIPLINE

This procedure is provided to assist in the uniform application of disciplinary action for safety violations
throughout the project.

The Safety Manager coordinates accident prevention as it applies to all areas of the safety and health program. The
Project Safety Manager reports directly to the Site Manager and is not a part of the project's line organization.
With the exception of work performed within their office, they do not exercise direct operational control of any
project work.

The Safety Manager shall keep a constant check on the methods used by supervisors and employees to prevent
safety violations. They have the authority to correct and instruct employees concerning the violation of safety rules
and shall stop work in situations of imminent danger. Should the Safety Manager witness an unsafe work situation,
which requires the application of the project's disciplinary program, they must bring this to the attention of the
appropriate project supervisor. The supervisor is responsible for carrying out the necessary corrective measures.

The Safety Manager may advise or recommend the type of reprimand or discipline to be applied, but shall not
administer the discipline themselves, except for the serious safety violations requiring immediate
dismissal/termination from the project as stated below. If appropriate discipline is not forthcoming, the chain of
command shall be followed until appropriate corrective measures and discipline result. If satisfactory results are
not achieved after working through the Site Manager, the Safety Manager shall contact the Project Safety Manager
for resolution or further instructions.
