§ 7-6. Health and Safety

The health and safety of employees and others on City property are of critical concern to City of Alamogordo. The City intends to comply with all health and safety laws applicable to our City. To this end, we must rely upon employees to ensure that work areas are kept safe and free of hazardous conditions. Employees are required to be conscientious about workplace safety, including proper operating methods, and recognizing dangerous conditions or hazards. Any unsafe conditions or potential hazards should be reported to management immediately, even if the problem appears to be corrected. Any suspicion of a concealed danger present on the City's premises, or in a product, facility, piece of equipment, process or City practice for which the City is responsible should be brought to the attention of management immediately.

Periodically, the City may issue rules and guidelines governing workplace safety and health. The City may also issue rules and guidelines regarding the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and waste. All employees should familiarize themselves with these rules and guidelines, as strict compliance will be expected.

Any workplace injury, accident, or illness must be reported to the employee's supervisor as soon as possible, regardless of the severity of the injury or accident.
