STOP WORK AUTHORITY
At Dean, our number one objective is the safe operations of all our people and equipment. We strive every day to meet the excellence that comes with being recognized as one of the nation’s top high consequence area contractors in the industry. To meet this objective, we focus on the elimination of unsafe work practices and conditions through prevention and correction.
SAFE LIVES MATTER. Dean emphasizes the responsibility of each employee for their own safety as well as the safety of everyone around them. These responsibilities are reinforced through Dean’s Policies, Procedures, trainings, operator qualifications, hazard hunts, tool box talks, JSA’s and behavior-based observations.
STOP WORK AUTHORITY
The Stop Work Authority process involves a stop, notify, correct and resume approach for the resolution of a perceived unsafe condition, act, error, omission or lack of understanding that could result in a undesirable event. All DEAN employees have the authority and obligation to stop any task or operation where concerns or questions regarding the control of health, safety or environmental risks exist.
