Answer to Question 1

With non-flagrant violations, the company's policy follows the established legal standard for progressive discipline. This means that employees may commit minor violations without being immediately terminated. However, it also means that each violation results in a step being taken up the disciplinary ladder, and this ladder goes only one way. With progressive discipline, minor offenses are cumulative. Since they are recorded in the employee's file they never go away

Answer to Question 2

Many medium-sized and larger construction companies employ one or more safety and health professionals and assign them responsibility for directing, coordinating, and facilitating the company's overall safety and health program. Specific duties include the following: 1) safety audits; 2) job site inspections; 3) hazard analysis; 4) accident investigations; 5) recordkeeping; 6) reporting; and 7) training.
