Employee Safety Program

2

This handbook, like all safety information is NOT designed to cover EVERY POSSIBLE hazard that may occur on your worksite. There is no replacement for COMMON SENSE on the job. Although the company strives to maintain a safe working environment for all employees, it remains the responsibility of the employee to use good judgment and common sense whenever a task is undertaken. If you feel that a task assigned to you is unsafe, or if the conditions at the worksite warrant a closer inspection for hazards, contact your immediate supervisor BEFORE beginning work.

Introduction, Overview and Safety Policy Statement

Sloan Companies is striving for a zero incident workplace and is committed to all employees working safely all the time. This Employee Safety Program protects employees, lowers costs, and increases profitability. Workplace accidents result in lost productivity, equipment damage, unusable product and lost time. Accidents also drive up the cost of Workers’ Compensation insurance. That’s why it is imperative that Sloan and the Safety Manager cooperate in the implementation of the program. A main objective of Sloan’s Safety Program is to provide a safe and healthful working environment for all employees. To achieve this goal, all employees must join in a cooperative effort to identify and eliminate unsafe working conditions or practices, to control health hazards, and to comply with the safety and health standards for every job. Sloan is responsible for the leadership of the safety and health program and for its effectiveness; and supervisors are responsible for developing proper attitudes toward safety and health in those they supervise. Managers and supervisors are also responsible for providing a safe workplace for employees and enforcing safe work practices on a daily basis. Sloan Employees are responsible for:

Following all safety rules and regulations.

Wearing appropriate safety equipment as required by the job.

Reporting ALL injuries, unsafe conditions and practices to your Sloan Security Group supervisor.

Asking questions if there is a misunderstanding about how to perform a work task. Do not attempt to perform any job or operate any machinery that you have not been properly trained to operate.

Contributing suggestions to improve the safety program.

Attending safety meetings.

It is the policy of Sloan that injury and illness prevention shall be considered of primary importance in all phases of its operations and administration. It is the intention of the company's management to provide safe and healthy working conditions and to establish and insist upon safe practices at all times by all employees. The prevention of injury and illness is an objective affecting all levels of the organization and its activities. It is therefore, a basic requirement that each supervisor make the safety of employees an integral part of his or her regular management function. It is equally the duty of each employee to accept and follow established safety regulations and procedures. Every effort will be made to provide adequate training to employees. However, if an employee is ever in doubt how to do a job safely, it is their duty to ask a qualified person for assistance. Employees are expected to assist management in injury and illness prevention activities. Unsafe conditions must be reported. Fellow employees that need help should be assisted. Everyone is responsible for the housekeeping duties that pertain to their jobs. Any injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, must be reported to management as soon as possible. In no circumstance, except an emergency, should an employee leave a shift without reporting an injury that occurred. When you have an injury and illness, everyone loses; you, your family, your fellow workers, and the company. Please work safely. It's good for everyone.

SAFETY COMMUNICATION

11

All employees have the right to be advised of occupational safety and health hazards and receive training on safe work practices, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Sloan Safety Meetings

Sloan will conduct regular safety meetings at which safety and health issues are freely and openly discussed by the Sloan Employees. Management will attempt to schedule meetings at a time when most employees can attend and keep minutes to document those in attendance and what topics were discussed.

Sloan SQPP (Safety-Quality-Production Plan)

Sloan Lead Security Technicians will complete a site and task specific hazard analysis and mitigation plan each day prior to the start of work. The SQPP is completed at the location of the work, and clearly analyzes hazards and mitigation of the hazards along with specific quality control points and daily production plan. The SQPP is signed by all employees working on the task, and all employees are responsible to participate in generating the SQPP.

Written Safety Concern

Your thoughts regarding safety are considered important, and we encourage your active participation in our company safety program. Please feel free to express any of your safety concerns or suggestions individually to your supervisor, safety manager, or in writing on the safety suggestion form. (This will allow you to remain anonymous if you so desire; however, this will make it difficult to provide you special recognition if your suggestion is put to action). Be assured that all safety suggestions will be given serious consideration, and that each will receive a response.

Employee Safety Training

Sloan will provide general safety training programs for Sloan Employees on an on-going basis. Sloan Employees will be provided with specific training either on a periodic basis, prior to job assignment, or when work assignments change.

Never remove or tamper with a lockout performed by another employee or contractor. A lockout could consist of a lock applied to a control such as a switch, breaker, or valve. The lock should also be accompanied by a “warning” tag listing the operator’s name, and date of the lockout/tagout.

13

Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)

a. Previously known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Classification and Labeling of Chemicals has been replaced by GHS and updated to Safety Data Sheets (SDS). GHS is a system for harmonizing hazard classification criteria and chemical hazard communication elements worldwide. The GHS is the framework or guidance for classifying and labeling hazardous chemicals. The purpose of classification under the GHS is to provide harmonized information to users of chemicals with the goal of enhancing protection of human health and the environment.

b. All labels must provide the identity of the chemical, and the appropriate hazard

warnings. Labels will require the following elements: Pictogram: a symbol plus other graphic elements, such as a border,

background pattern, or color that is intended to convey specific information about the hazards of a chemical. Each pictogram consists of a different symbol on a white background within a red square frame set on a point (i.e. red diamond). There are nine pictograms.

Signal words: a single word used to indicate the relative level of severit of hazard and alert the reader to a potential hazard on the label. The signal words used are “danger” and “warning.” “Danger” is used for the more severe hazards, while “warning” is used for less severe hazards.

Hazard Statement: a statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazad(s), of a chemical,including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard.

Precautionary Statement: a phrase that describes recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical.

o Hazard classification: The definitions of hazard will provide specific

criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures. These specific criteria will help to ensure that evaluations of hazardous effects are consistent across manufacturers, and that labels and safety data sheets are more accurate as a result.

o Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided.

o Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Will now have a specified 16-section format.

c. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) must be secured for all chemicals purchased or brought on site. You have a right to access SDS sheets – ask your supervisor

14

d. Follow all label and SDS instructions.

e. Do not mix chemicals unless authorized to do so. Keep all chemical in closed containers.

f. Store all flammable liquids in safety cabinets or safety cans. Never use flammable chemicals around ignition sources such as smokers, pilot lights, or arcing/sparking electrical equipment.

g. Wear required Personal Protective Equipment and minimize contact. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using chemicals. Always wash hands after handling chemicals.

Confined Space Entry: Only trained and authorized employees are permitted to enter confined space. If you believe that your job requires confined space entry, contact your supervisor prior to starting any work. (Confined spaces are areas not meant for human occupancy, have limited means of entry/exit, and have electrical, chemical, thermal, atmosphere, or entrapment hazards). Electrical Safety

a. Never operate or tamper with electrical main switch or breakers.

b. Report all electrical problems and suspected problems to your supervisor

c. All junction boxes, control boxes, connections, and other wiring must have covers securely installed to prevent accidental contact.

d. Inspect all plugs, cords, and portable equipment prior to use.

e. Report any damaged electrical equipment to your supervisor. Only authorized personnel are permitted to make repairs.

f. Extension cords are for temporary use only. Never stretch cords across aisles or areas where people may trip over them.

Lifting Techniques

a. If you need help to move material, ASK!. Use the “buddy system”

b. When you lift, use your legs, spread feet apart, and hold materials close to your body

16

Safety and Health Training Training for Sloan Employees in general safe work practices as well as specific instructions to hazards unique to each co-employee’s job assignment, is the single most effective means for reducing injuries and illnesses in the work place. Types of Training Many types of training may be used to communicate safety related information to Sloan Employees. Training may vary widely with respect to instructional methods, settings, subject matter, etc.:

Classroom instruction;

Job site safety meetings;

On the job (OTJ) training;

Written training materials;

Computer Based Training (CBT).

General and Specific Safe Work Practices Specialized training dealing with a co-employee’s unique job assignment needs to be developed by Sloan.

Sloan will provide all new Employees with general and specific training prior to assignment to a new job.

Sloan will provide Employees with training whenever a new substance, process, or equipment are introduced to the workplace which represent a new hazard or whenever Sloan receives notification of a new or previously unrecognized hazard.

All training will be documented in writing by Sloan.

17

Emergency Action Plans In the event of any serious injury or fire, call 911. Send someone to the facility entrance to meet the Fire Department. If in doubt, call 911. Fire

Upon discovering a fire, alert others in immediate danger and initiate a facility-wide fire alarm.

When the evacuation symbol is given, all employees should immediately turn off equipment, close doors, and evacuate to designated evacuation areas. Attendance will be taken, stay in the group until further directions.

Do not attempt to fight any fire which is uncontained, too hot, too smoky, or if you are too frightened.

To use a fire extinguisher remember to use PASS: P = Pull (safety pin) A = Aim (base of fire) S = Squeeze (lever) S = Sweep (side to side)

If you use a fire extinguisher, remember:

Stay low Keep yourself between the fire and the exit Do not turn you back on the fire Immediately report the use of the fire extinguisher to Safety Manager

Medical Emergencies (chest pains, loss of consciousness, fall from a height, etc)

Upon discovering a medical emergency dial 911

Call Human Resources/Safety department and report the nature of the medical emergency and location

Stay with the person involved being careful not to come in contact with any bodily fluids unless properly trained. If you think you have been exposed to bodily fluid notify the Safety Manager immediately. Do not attempt to clean up area, trained personnel will do so.

Send two persons (greeters) to the building entrance to await fire department. Often two emergency units will arrive. First greeter will escort medical providers to location of emergency. Second greeter will wait at the entrance to escort secondary emergency units to the same location

18

Employees that are not involved in the emergency will need to leave the area.

Human Resources will make any necessary notifications to family members of the person suffering the medical emergency.

Workplace Violence

Any employee who feels that he/she has been threatened should immediately report their concern to their manager and Human Resources.

If any person is observed exhibiting threatening behavior or making threatening

statements, the person discovering the situation should warn others in the area and contact Human Resources immediately. Stay away from person exhibiting threatening behavior.

Depending on the level of concern, contact the police department at 911 immediately.

Never attempt to confront employee Bloodborne Pathogens

1. Blood and other bodily fluids can carry pathogens, which are capable of causing diseases in others. This includes HIV, which can lead to AIDS and hepatitis.

2. When looking at someone you cannot tell if a person is infected with pathogenic

disease, we must always take precautions following an illness or injury when bodily fluids have been released.

3. In the event that a person loses bodily fluids, stay away from the infected area and warn others to do so. You can still stay close to the ill/injured person to support them, just be sure to stay out of contact of bodily fluids.

4. In the event that you find spilled bodily fluids, syringes, or other contaminated materials, do not attempt to clean up. Call the Safety Manager for immediate instructions.

19

ACCIDENT REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION Reporting Sloan Employees who are injured at work must report the injury immediately to their supervisor. If immediate medical treatment beyond first aid is needed call 911. The injured employee will be taken to an appropriate hospital or medical center. If non-emergency medical treatment is needed for work-related injuries and illnesses transport the employee to the occupational health clinic or urgent care clinic. Declination of Treatment If the employee feels the injury is not serious enough to warrant medical treatment, then he must complete and sign the Employee Declination of Medical Treatment form. If the injured employee saw a physician or a health care provider, Sloan should obtain a medical release form before allowing the employee to return to work. The health care provider may stipulate work restrictions that would allow the injured employee to work a temporary transitional modified duty until the employee is fit for normal duties. Investigation The objective of an accident reporting and investigation policy is to determine the cause and recommend corrective actions that are required to eliminate or minimize future accidents. To this end the following procedures have been established:

The Sloan Safety Manager is responsible for conducting an investigation to determine and correct the cause(s) of the incident.

The investigation involves the following steps:

Safety Manager interviews injured workers and witnesses;

Safety Manager examines workplace for factors associated with the accident/exposure;

Safety Manager determines the possible cause of the accident/exposure;

Safety Manager and Supervisor review corrective actions to be taken to prevent the accident/exposure from recurring;

Safety Manager records the findings and corrective actions are taken.

The Sloan’s Safety Manager will conduct an investigation that asks Who, When, What, Why and how to prevent a similar accident.

20

Considerations Following a Serious Industrial Accident Any work-related accident resulting in serious injury or death of an employee presents significant emotional challenges for management. Following are some guidelines, which may reduce the effects on fellow employees and minimize the impact from regulators, including OSHA.

1. Be prepared to talk to local police officers, district attorney investigators, coroners and OSHA compliance officers. Be truthful, state the facts to the best of your ability, and do not offer opinions, unnecessary information, or theories. If contacted from local media direct them to Sloan’s legal counsel.

2. A single fatality must be reported to OSHA within 8 hours and incidents resulting in one or more employees receiving inpatient hospitalization, all amputations, and loss of an eye within 24 hours to the closest OSHA area office. If after hours, the incident can be reported to OSHA at 1.800.321.6742.

3. Have a representative of your company contact the employee’s next of kin to

inform her/him of the incident. If possible, this contact should be made in person. Offer to provide transportation and/or other support.

4. Get all witnesses names. If some witnesses are not employees, be sure to

get a complete name, address, and telephone number so they can be reached.

5. Render safe any hazards created by the accident scene. Rope off and isolate

the accident scene early on to prevent any changes due to foot traffic and spectators.

6. The Safety Manager will conduct an initial investigation. If equipment and/or

duties are duplicated within another area of the company, make sure to take immediate steps to reassure that there will be no re-occurrence of the accident.

7. Take pictures to document the scene. Note anything that may help to identify

specific equipment involved. 8. Follow Sloan’s procedure for bloodborne pathogens when cleaning any bodily

fluid spills. 9. Consider meeting employees in small groups to discuss the following:

a. The serious accident that occurred. b. The necessary steps were taken to care for the person(s) involved. c. There is an accident investigation being conducted. d. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

21

e. Provide encouragement to employees and request the employees continue to work safe.

10. Request your supervisors to be alert for employees that may not be paying full attention to their jobs or their own safety. During these discussion do not discuss fault, discipline, or option.

22

Office Safety & Security Office Safety

time you will check in. As you leave office, be sure to turn off all equipment, lights, etc, and set

alarm.

23

Inspections A safety and health inspection program is essential to reduce unsafe conditions which may expose employees, Sloan Employees, and visitors to incidents that could result in injury or damage to property. Scheduled Workplace Inspections It is the responsibility of Sloan to ensure that regular and systematic inspections are scheduled and followed. It is recommended that supervisors who are knowledgeable of the activities and materials present in the area conduct these inspections. Records of the inspections, the deficiencies noted, and the corrective actions taken to remedy the deficiency should be created and kept on file at the site of Sloan Companies.

The frequency of the workplace inspections will be completed semi-annually by the Safety Manager. Those Sloan employees engaged in hazardous operations are encouraged to conduct more frequent inspections.

Unscheduled Workplace Inspections

The Safety Manager will conduct periodic unscheduled inspections of Sloan’s site to help ensure a safe and healthful workplace. The Safety Manager will make recommendations or requests for corrective actions to be taken that will address the deficiencies noted during such inspections.

The Safety Manager will conduct an investigation in the event of an occupational injury, occupational illness, or exposure to hazardous substances as defined by OSHA or a State agency such as Cal/OSHA or DOSH/LNI WA. Recommendations or requests for corrective actions will be discussed that will address the deficiencies noted during such investigations.

24

Hazard Control All hazards identified through the following: Inspections, Accident Investigation reports, and Employee Report of Unsafe Condition will be forwarded to the Safety Manager. The Safety Manager will assess the potential for re-occurrence of injury and consider the cost effectiveness of corrective measures. The Safety Manager will share the findings with the Sloan Companies President. If an employee raised the safety issue, the finding will be shared with that employee. The Safety Manager will document the identified hazards and corrective measure taken in a log.

Employee Safety Responsibilities The primary responsibility of the employees of Sloan is to perform his or her duties in a safe manner in order to prevent injury to themselves and other. As a condition of employment, employees MUST become familiar with, observe, and obey Sloan’s rules and established policies for health, safety and preventing injuries while at work. Before beginning work assignments, an employee should review applicable and appropriate safety rules. If an employee has questions about the task and how it should be done safely, he or she is NOT to begin the task until he or she discusses with their supervisor. If the employee still questions or concerns, then he or she is required to contact the Safety Manager to discuss further. NO EMPLOYEE IS EVER REQUIRED to perform work that they believe is unsafe, or likely to cause injury or health risks to themselves or others.
