JOB SITE’S RESPONSIBILITIES
AAEG will maintain a program that provides systematic policies, procedures, and practices that, when

workplace hazards, specific job hazards, and potential hazards that may arise from foreseeable conditions.

of law to address all identifiable hazards. Our goal is the prevention of injuries and illnesses, whether or
not compliance is at issue.

We will use this information to accomplish desired job tasks without compromising the safety and health
of its Employees and anyone else in its work area.
