Report
of Unsafe or Unhealthful Working Conditions Identification and reporting of potentially unsafe or unhealthful working
conditions is the responsibility of all NOAA employees. Detection of
unsafe or unhealthful working conditions at the earliest possible time
and prompt correction of hazards at the lowest possible working level
are essential elements of the NOAA Safety and Health Program.
All NOAA employees are encouraged to report unsafe and unhealthful
working conditions to their immediate supervisor who will promptly
investigate the situation and take appropriate actions. Supervisors
may contact their Area Safety Representative (ASR), Field Safety
Manager (FSM) or the Line Office Environmental Compliance Officer
(LECO) for assistance.
Any NOAA employee may submit a report of unsafe or unhealthful
working condition, CD-351,
to their ASR, RSM or LECO. Upon receipt of a hazard report the safety
representative (ASR, FSM or LECO) shall contact the originator to acknowledge
receipt and discuss the seriousness of the reported hazard. The safety
representative shall advise the cognizant supervisor that a hazard
has been
reported. (Note: the employee reporting the hazard may choose to remain anonymous)
If you have any questions regarding this program, contact SECO at (301)
713-2870, Ext. 132.
