New Hire Orientation & Ongoing Safety Site
Welcome to the Greater Pine Island Water Association! As a new hire we want you to know that your safety on the job is important to us. So we have created this unique website to help orient you to workplace safety policies & procedures and to provide you with important safety information.
What is a safety culture?
It's a broad, organization-wide approach to safety management, that combines the values, attitudes, goals & proficiencies of an organization's health & safety program. Organizations with a safety culture show a deep concern for employee well-being, and this is reflected in all levels and departments within the organization. |

Why focus on a safety culture?
By embedding GPIWA upper management's commitment to workplace safety into the DNA of the organization, we can create a safer work environment where everyone plays a part in keeping themselves and others safe.
Upper management's commitment to workplace safety helps workers take it more seriously and translates into a safer work environment for everyone. Although the responsibility for encouraging the safety culture may start with management, it must trickle down to each individual in the company if it's going to be successful.

Every business is different. What is feasible and appropriate for any one business depends on its size, location and other unique characteristics. To help clients develop a sound approach to develop a plan to work within the OSHA guidelines, we are pleased to make this site available. Your company’s continued effort is essential to accident prevention & compliance with OSHA and all other safety legislation. Our assistance may be used as an adjunct in certain areas of that effort, but we assume and have no responsibility to you or others for the control or correction of conditions or practices existing at your premises, whether or not listed on this site. Further, we do not warrant that the completion of any recommendations will assure that the premises or operations are safe or healthful, or are in compliance with any law, rule, or regulation. Neither our association nor its individual members intend this site to be a definitive statement of the protocols and procedures that are applicable to each and every business.
