Work safety and health is a primary concern of the City of Geneva. The safe and healthful performance of all work assignments is the responsibility of both supervisory and nonsupervisory personnel. It is their responsibility to insure that all safety procedures and/or practices are observed.
(a) Any employee found to be unwillingly negligent in equipment operation, resulting in either damage to the equipment or an accident, shall be disciplined according to the policy outlined in Section 252.30.
(b) Any employee found to be deliberately negligent in equipment operation, resulting in either damage to the equipment or an accident, shall be subject to immediate termination.
(c) All employees, particularly supervisors, are charged with the responsibility of reporting the existence of any hazardous conditions or practices in the workplace.
(d) Any accident involving employees occurring during working hours shall be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor, as soon as practical, and shall be filed in writing. The supervisor shall then notify the City Manager. Upon notification, the City Manager or the supervisor shall review the report and may investigate within forty-eight hours after the accident.
