Smith International, Inc.
Management Policy on Safety

It is the policy of Smith International, Inc. that every employee be entitled to a safe and healthful place to work. To this end, every reasonable effort will be made in the interest of accident prevention, fire protection, and health preservation.

Our management concept is not production and safety; it is production with safety. We must establish an attitude in our people that accidents can be prevented. We are human beings and cannot hope to eliminate all accidents, but we can and must try to prevent them. When production with safety is achieved, production with efficiency is attained simultaneously.

We fully intend to make every employee’s safety a part of our daily, hourly concern. Adherence to the rules and regulations contained in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and in accordance with the National and Local authority regulations in each country will aid us in achieving that goal.

The successful operation of Smith International, Inc. will depend not only on manufacturing, sales and service, but also on how safely each job is performed. There is no job so important – nor any service so urgent – that we cannot take time to work safely. We consider the safety of all Smith employees of prime importance, and we expect your full co-operation in making our safety program effective.
