action is taken on all identified violations.
Safety Violation Definition
A safety violation exists when there is a probability that actions, practices, methods or operations result or
could result in death or physical harm to any person.
A safety violation could also be identified when an employee exhibits a history of being involved in or
contributing to an accident(s) that results or could result in death or physical harm/injury.
Such a violation tends to establish that the employee has failed to comply with safe work practices and/or
that the employee cannot perform the essential functions of their position without presenting a direct
threat to their own health and a safety and/or health and safety of others.
A violation will also exist when an employee fails to provide notice of an injury or accident (that may or
may not result in physical damage or injury) to their supervisor within (suggested 24-48 hours) from
when an employee knows or reasonably should know that an accident or injury has occurred.
Violation Identification
