Midwest Rail is on a journey to create a culture in which each employee is responsible safety leaders, where we are all focused on zero injuries by protecting one and other. Safety is at the center of everything we do, from on going safety leadership training to daily job briefings; we all plan to return home safe each and everyday.
Midwest Rail is committed to safety of all employees, customers, and persons in the communities we serve. Safety is simply good business. No one should be exposed to unnecessary hazards and risks. Responsibility for safety cannot be delegated or transferred. Therefore each employee will be held personally accountable for his/her actions on the job.
The safety policy is predicated upon the following principals:
1. All injuries can be prevented.
2. All exposures can be safeguarded.
3. All employees are responsible for the prevention on injuries and accidents.
4. Training is essential for good safety performance.
5. Safety is a condition of employment.
6. Safety is good business.
