Follow the law, safety procedures, our Code, and our policies.
Everyone at GM has a personal responsibility for safety.
Don’t wait for someone else to act.
Safety issues should always be reported and addressed right away, even if doing so could delay a project. Take immediate action if you see a workplace safety concern and fix the issue if you can do so safely. If you cannot, report it to security, facilities, or your people leader.
Speak fearlessly.
Respectfully challenge and offer feedback constructively if someone is acting unsafely. When feedback is offered, accept it graciously.
Never work under the influence of drugs (including prescription drugs without medical clearance) or alcohol.
Doing so may create a safety hazard that could endanger yourself or others.
Report safety concerns.
Identify, report, and escalate safety and regulatory compliance issues as soon as you learn about or suspect them. Be proactive and find ways to make our vehicles and workplaces safer. Know how to recognize potential risks and report any safety concerns. You can do so confidently because we do not tolerate retaliation against those who report a concern in good faith.
Which Way?
My team is working to launch one of our existing vehicles in a new country. While the vehicle meets safety standards in neighboring markets, GM has not evaluated whether it meets the specific and unique requirements of the new country. A team member suggested launching the product to this new country under the assumption that it will pass. Can I support this plan?
No. We cannot ship the vehicle to commerce prematurely. The vehicle needs to be appropriately assessed for compliance with applicable safety and other local laws before it is launched in a new market.
