All GM salaried and hourly employees as well as contract workers play an important role in helping to cultivate a culture of unwavering commitment to and focus on product safety. In keeping with GM's values and its mission to continuously improve product safety, the company has established a Speak Up for Safety initiative.
Employees can self-identify, or remain anonymous, and report product safety issues using this Speak Up for Safety online submission form. If you have access to GM’s Socrates intranet, you can get more information about Speak Up for Safety and alternate methods for filing a report by clicking on the Speak Up for Safety link on Socrates.
While Speak Up for Safety is one method for identifying and addressing safety-related issues inside GM and with its products and services, it is not intended to replace established processes for addressing workplace safety issues in our plants, offices, and other facilities. It is important that employees who have workplace safety concerns first contact the appropriate officials within their facilities, offices, and operations.

Those who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Users with access to Socrates can click here to review a copy of the Non-Retaliation Policy.
