FBC Norfolk Employee Handbook

COMMITMENT TO SAFETY Safety is of vital importance to everyone at Personnel Outsource Solutions. As such we believe in quality, efficiency, and working safely in in every phase of our operation, Safe work practices are as much a part of the job as doing the work properly, meaning that it is each employee's responsibility to act in a safe manner at all times. All employees will be provided with safeguards including appropriate personal protective equipment, training and instructions on safety rules and conditions. We are committed to reducing and, to the extent possible, eliminating accidents. To meet this commitment, the following is a set of expectations and guidelines that we expect all employees working at our facilities to follow: a. Demonstrate your personal commitment to safety by being constantly aware of the hazards and risks around you. Support the elimination of unsafe conditions and unsafe actions by holding each other accountable for safety and by raising concerns to management to help mitigate hazards and unsafe behaviors in the workplace. b. Take personal ownership in the Company's safety program and look to improve it. Look out for your safety as well as those around you. Speak up when you observe unsafe acts, unsafe conditions or unsafe behaviors. c. Become actively engaged in the operations. Identify and address hazards and then follow up to ensure the solution is working; d. Stop work when you identify something which may cause harm to you, another person, or the overall operations of the Company. Your right to refuse dangerous work is OSHA protected (you are free from discipline and/or retaliation) if all of the following are met:

o Where possible, you have asked the company to eliminate the danger, and the company has failed to do so; and o You refuse work in "good faith," meaning that you must genuinely believe that an imminent danger exists; and o A reasonable person would agree that there is a real danger of death or serious injury; and o There isn't enough time, due to the urgency of the hazard, to get it corrected through regular enforcement channels, such as requesting and OSHA inspection.

If all 4 of these criteria exist, you should:

o Ask your supervisor, ESS manager, or GM to correct the hazard or assign you other work; and o Tell your supervisor, ESS manager, or GM that you won't perform the work unless and until the hazard is corrected; and o Remain at the worksite until the company orders you to leave.
