Workplace safety and health training. Safety meetings. Individual verbal communication between management and workers. Postings and written materials. Anonymous notification of hazards by employees. Labor/management safety and health committee which meets regularly (at least quarterly) to: Review inspection records, accident/exposure analyses, and reports of hazards; perform inspections and analyses as necessary; and make corrective recommendations to management. HAZARD ASSESSMENT: Inspections to identify and evaluate workplace hazards are performed as warranted by competent observer(s) as follows: When IIPP is initially established. Periodically in all work areas (see appendix for frequency). When new substances, processes, procedures or equipment which present potential new hazards are introduced. When new, previously unidentified hazards are recognized. 1

2 HAZARD CONSIDERATIONS POLICIES: Are all safety policies and procedures adequate and followed by workers? TRAINING: Have all workers received documented training in safe work practices; both general and specific for current duties? EMERGENCIES: Are adequate emergency supplies/equipment (first aid, fire extinguishers, etc.) available and emergency plans made? PPE: Is there proper personal protective equipment (eye protection, gloves, respirators, etc.) provided with appropriate training and use?

3 ACCIDENT/EXPOSURE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE: Seek facts, not fault. Interview: Obtain detailed, signed narrative descriptions by injured person and witnesses. Ask open-ended questions. Examine scene: Immediately consider facilities, tools/equipment, materials, maintenance, housekeeping; temperature, noise, light, vibration, air; injured person, coworkers, visitors; etc. Diagram and photograph. Determine causes: Ask who (training, experience, condition, etc.), where (scene details), when (day, hour, shift, etc.), what (specific tasks before and during accident including tools/equipment and result), how (combine facts to recreate event), why (controllable causes; usually several)? Determine and implement correction: Counsel, enforce, train, change procedure, change equipment, etc. HAZARD CORRECTION: When unsafe or unhealthy work conditions, practice or procedures are observed or discovered they shall be corrected in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazards. When an imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately abated without endangering employees, we shall remove all exposed workers from the area except those necessary to correct the existing condition. Workers necessary to correct the hazardous conditions shall be provided with the necessary protection. TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION: All workers are trained and instructed in general and jobspecific safety and health practices as follows: When the IIPP is first established. To all new workers. To workers given new job assignments for which they were not previously trained. Whenever new substances, processes, procedures or equipment are introduced and represent a new hazard. Whenever we are made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard. For supervisors to familiarize them with the safety and health hazards to which workers under their immediate direction and control may be exposed. 3

4 EMERGENCY ACTION: To prepare for emergencies (such as serious injury or illness, fire, earthquakes, power failure, etc.) in the workplace we have adopted the following procedures: Duties: All employees are responsible for warning anyone in danger and reporting emergency situations to a manger or supervisor immediately. All employees shall follow the specific emergency instruction of managers and supervisors. The managers or supervisors shall instruct employees in specific emergency situations, contact emergency agencies and sound the evacuation alarm as required. Supervisors shall make certain all employees have evacuated the building before leaving and shall take roll at the meeting place to ensure complete evacuation. No employee shall re-enter the building until it is deemed safe by the facility manager and instructed by the supervisor. Employees may utilize fire extinguishers only for fires in the initial stages after ensuring all other personnel are safe. Escape procedures: If Building evacuation is required a loud verbal alarm or continuous horn will sound. Employees shall walk through the nearest exit and proceed to the designated gathering place for roll call. In the event of earthquake employees shall not evacuate unless there is danger of building collapse: They shall cover their heads, move away from overhead objects which may fall, and seek cover under solid objects (such as desks or tables), doorways or against interior walls. If outside during an emergency situation such as an earthquake, stay away from buildings, trees, gas lines, and power lines. Employee training: All employees shall be trained in the content and operation of these procedures, particularly their individual duties. Training shall include location and use of first aid supplies and fire extinguishers. Supervisors shall be trained in responses to specific emergencies to enable appropriate instructions to employees. This training shall be documented and occur when procedures are initially implemented, employees are newly hired, and when procedures change. These procedures shall be maintained in the workplace and available for employee review. FIRE PREVENTION: To help prevent accidental fires in this facility we have adopted these procedures: Hazard identification: The primary combustible materials and ignition sources in this facility are listed in the appendix. Procedures for handling accidental fires are addressed in Emergency Action procedures. Housekeeping: An orderly and clean working environment free of unnecessary hazards including the accumulation of combustible and flammable materials shall be maintained. Those materials shall be stored separated from possible ignition sources. Maintenance: Facilities and equipment shall be maintained in good working order free of defects. Facilities and equipment shall be regularly inspected to identify hazards and defects which shall be corrected in a timely fashion based on their severity. Smoking: Smoking allowed only in designated areas. Employee training: All employees shall be trained in these procedures. 4

5 HAZARD COMMUNICATION: Our company intends to provide information about chemical hazards and other hazardous substances and control of hazards utilizing the following: An inventory of hazardous substances may be found in the appendix. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all hazardous substances are located according to the appendix. Employees may review MSDSs and the standard at will. MSDSs not on hand which are requested by employees will be requested of suppliers within 7 days by letter. The MSDS file is updated with new information and new hazards identified by the program administrator. Containers of hazardous materials entering the premises will be checked by the program administrator or designated representative to assure they are properly labeled with the chemical name of the contents, the appropriate hazard warning, and the name and address of the supplier/manufacturer. Containers of hazardous materials on the premises will be labeled with the chemical name and hazard warning. Exceptions must be approved by the program administrator and may be found in the appendix. Non-routine tasks involving hazardous materials and procedures for complying with the standard for these jobs may be found in the appendix. Employee training is provided initially to all employees and for all new employees who are exposed to hazardous materials. This training covers the following: o The basic requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard and their right to information on chemical hazards. o Our company's program to comply with the standard and procedures to follow to see the standard, company program, and MSDSs. o How to interpret and use the labels on containers of hazardous materials. o The potential physical hazards and health effects of the hazardous substances and how to use MSDSs for more information. o How to handle the hazardous substances safely and other protective measures in place. o What to do in an emergency (evacuation, spills, etc.). o How the presence of hazardous chemicals can be detected in the work area. o Training concerning new hazards (new chemicals or new information on MSDSs) will be provided within 30 days. Periodic refresher will be provided. Training shall be documented. Outside employees (contractors and visitors) will be advised of chemical hazards by verbal instruction from the program administrator or designated representative and access to MSDSs. Our company relies on the information contained in MSDSs as permitted by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard and does not perform independent hazard determinations. 5
