CIPODF j6R000 i0 O* AISIFIED fety and Health Policy for the Central telligence Agency (Job #8888) SAFETY AND HEALTH 17 JUL 1979 SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY FOR THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY 1. It is the policy and intent of the Central Intelligence Agency to administer the Agency Safety and Health Program in accordance with provisions of applicable Federal directives to ensure that employees work in a safe and healthful environment. This policy will be effective only to the extent that each employee supports and participates in the program. 2. The Agency Safety and Health Program is concerned not only with the elimination of conditions that could cause injuries and illnesses to our personnel, but also with preventive measures to avoid damage or loss of property or equipment by fire or other mishap. The human suffering, time lost from work, and economic waste resulting from these conditions are of serious concern to the Agency. 3. The Deputy Director for Administration is the CIA Safety and Health Official. The CIA Safety and Health Official is assisted by the CIA Safety Committee which is composed of members representing Agency components, the CIA Safety Officer, and the CIA Health Officer. 4. Operating Officials, Heads of Independent Offices, and supervi- sors are responsible for developing and maintaining a spirit of coopera- tion in achieving a safe and healthful working environment. Operating Officials, Heads of Independent Offices, and supervisors have the best opportunity to observe work habits and influence employee attitudes and to ensure that immediate action is taken to correct unsafe or unhealthful working conditions or practices. 5. Employees are encouraged to give full support to this program by complying with the Agency's occupational safety and health standards, developing and following personal safety practices, and notifying their supervisor and component safety officer of any unsafe or unhealthful working conditions. If an employee is not satisfied after reporting such a condition to these officials, the CIA Safety Officer should be advised of the condition. No employee will be subjected to reprisal by virtue of having reported any unsafe or unhealthful working condition or having participated in the program.
