We are sending you this written warning under the progressive discipline policy because of your repeated
violations of Company workplace safety rules.
This is not the first time that we have spoken to you about disobeying safety rules. You explained
[summarize worker’s explanation]. But you also agreed that what you were doing was wrong and
unacceptably dangerous and that you could face discipline for future violations. As counseling ended, you
promised [supervisor name] that you wouldn’t do it again and assured him/her you would make a more
determined effort to follow safety rules in the future.
Despite these assurances, you were observed [describe new offence] on [date]. Once again, [supervisor name]
spoke to you about working unsafely and pointed out the safety rules you were violating. This time, your
explanation was [summarize worker’s explanation]. We have concluded that your explanation is
unsatisfactory and doesn’t justify your infractions.
Warning
Accordingly, we have decided to issue you this warning for violations of Company safety rules. Going
forward, we expect and require you to follow all safety rules, including but not limited to [describe your
specific safety expectations]. Although we have every confidence that you will correct the problems and meet
these expectations, we also want to make it clear that your previous counseling and this written warning
represent the first two steps in the Company’s progressive discipline policy. If you commit further violations,
we may invoke the progressive discipline policy again and impose sterner discipline, up to and including
termination.
