Employee Suggestion and Hazard Reporting

---

The Employee’s Safety Suggestion/Hazard Report has been created for all Monterey County employees, whether their status be volunteer, part time or full time.  All County employees are encouraged to report unsafe work conditions, safety hazards, near miss incidents and provide safety improvement suggestions.  By submitting a detailed report, employees can help the County take action in areas where safety improvements are needed most.

Thank you for your efforts in protecting the safety and well-being of County employees, contractors, and visitors.
