WELCOME TO AMERICAN STONE!

Hi, and welcome to American Stone!

In this short video, we’ll go over some important safety policies and explain what to do if you’re ever injured or become sick at work.

Your safety and success are our top priorities.


REPORTING ACCIDENTS, INJURIES & ILLNESSES

If you're hurt at work or develop a work-related illness, here's what to do:  

01. TELL YOUR SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY

If your supervisor isn’t available, report it to their designee — the person in charge.

02. LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCIES

Call 911 right away, then notify your supervisor.

03. NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES

What is GB Care? We partner with GB Care for medical support.

Look for the GB Care poster in your location.

  • Scan the QR code with your phone while your supervisor is present.
  • If you can’t scan the code, call: 1-(833)-495-1212 and use our GB ID: 001960.
  • GB Care is available 24/7 and provides nurse triage, self-care advice, and referrals to in-network providers.
  • If you’re still not feeling well after an injury, you can contact them again, on your own, anytime.

04. IMPORTANT

Always involve your supervisor (or their designee) during the first contact with GB Care.

WHEN TO CALL 911

Examples of Life-Threatening Emergencies

  • Unconsciousness or confusion
  • Severe bleeding
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Seizures or convulsions
  • Hot, dry skin or extreme sweating
  • Inability to walk or maintain balance

HOLDING THE ACCIDENT SCENE

Don’t Move Anything

In the event of a major accident, the area may need to be investigated.

Do not move equipment, clean up spills, or disturb the scene unless directed by your supervisor or emergency responders.

Failing to secure the scene for a major accident could result in fines.

BACK INJURIES & DELAYED SYMPTOMS

Some injuries — especially back injuries — may not feel serious right away but can get worse quickly.

If you notice pain, stiffness, or discomfort later, notify your supervisor and contact GB Care as soon as possible.

Being proactive can prevent long-term problems.

KEY SAFETY REMINDERS

  • Always wear required safety gear or PPE (personal protective equipment) — including steel-toed boots when working in the yard.
  • When listening to music, never wear earbuds; if music is allowed, use speakers so you can hear what’s happening around you.
  • If you see something unsafe — like nails on the ground or incorrect equipment use — speak up or notify your supervisor.
  • Report all incidents, even minor injuries or near misses.

SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY

…and we’re here to support you.

If you ever have questions, ask your supervisor — that’s what they’re there for.

1. Can employees wear earbuds to listen to music in the yard?
Yes. No.
2. If you're injured, and the injury is not life threatening, what should you do?
Leave immediately and go to the emergency room. If it's not a bad injury, you don't need to tell your supervisor about it. Report it immediately to your supervisor, and your supervisor will take you to the emergency room. Report it immediately to your supervisor, and you and your supervisor will contact GBCare.
3. If you're working in the yard, what type of clothing or PPE would you be permitted to wear?
Steel-toed boots, gloves and shorts. Jeans, steel-toed boots, and gloves. Jeans, tennis shoes, and safety glasses. Shorts, tennis shoes, and gloves.
4. If you see an unsafe working condition, what should you do?
Unsafe working conditions are part of the job. You simply have to be more careful. You should advise your supervisor if there's an unsafe working condition if you cannot fix it yourself.
5. If you're in a car accident in a company vehicle. What's an example of stating the facts?
I believe it was my fault; I backed into their vehicle. I was backing up. They also appeared to be driving forward. I slammed on my brakes. I think they were to blame. They ran into me.
6. If you have an injury that's not bad at work, but gets worse at home, what should you do?
Go to the emergency room and get a receipt. Go to the doctor the next day and call your supervisor with the information. Contact GBCare at the number your supervisor gives you. You should call them at work with your supervisor; however, you can call them by yourself any time of day or night, and they will advise you what to do. Wait until the next day and speak with your supervisor about the injury.
7. If there is a major accident at work, what should you do?
Don't clean or move anything. Investigators need to review the situation in the event of a major accident. Help to clean up everythgin as the supervisor is dealing with the hurt employee.
8. If you can't arrive to work on time, what should you do?
Call Human Resources. Call your supervisor at least 30 minutes before your shift; text them if they state you may do so. Call the store main number and let the person who answers know you won't be in. You have 24 hours to let your supervisor know you couldn't come in, and why.
