Mission Statement

The HCFD Safety Support Team trains and imparts safety skills to all employees through Team concepts. It identifies, corrects, and prevents hazards to provide a safe environment for our employees, customers and the general public.

To accomplish this, we must adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Safety and health are shared responsibilities. Everyone from top management to supervisors to each and every employee must take ownership of their own safety and that of their co-workers.
2. Maintaining a safe and healthful work environment is not just an idea – it is a top priority and must be a part of every work process.
3. It is everyone's job to recognize hazards and to either correct them or report them in a timely manner.
4. Where hazards cannot be completely eliminated, they must be reduced through engineering or administrative controls, or, as a final precaution, through the proper use of personal protective equipment.
5. Every employee will be trained to perform work safely. Should an employee feel inadequately trained to perform a certain procedure, he or she will immediately discuss the problem with his or her supervisor.
6. As a condition of employment, each employee must work consistently in a safe manner in conformance with the HCFD policies, and with the State and Federal safety, health, and environmental laws and regulations.
