In recent PEG Safety audits, Ocala Main Post Office and Ocala Paddock Station each received a North Florida District high 97% on their evaluations.
The Safety and Health Program Evaluation Guide (PEG) includes criteria on contractor compliance with OSHA regulations. These are derived from OSHA guidance, an anticipated OSHA standard on safety and health programs, and OSHA's published citation policy on multi-employer worksites. The PEG - including standards, tests, and measurement criteria - is used to evaluate facility safety and health programs as required in the ELM. The evaluations focus on facility-level programs.
The PEG safety program covers everything from employee involvement to building hazards and inspections. In addition to the record breaking PEG score, Ocala Paddock is also a VPP site, recognized for outstanding performance and attention to safety by OSHA.
According to Officer-In-Charge Ron Jarrell, “The key to Ocala’s success is the commitment and importance all employees place on safety in the workplace. Craft and management work together to identify and correct hazards so everyone can go home after a day’s work uninjured and well.”
The Facility Safety Coordinators at Ocala Main and Paddock, Monique Foster and Toni Eckert put together the PEG and ensure the checklists and plans are followed in each office. Also assisting with the PEG success in each office was Maintenance employee Shawana Pinellas and Paddock Manager Bob Henriques.
