SoCal Employee Handbook

DRESS CODE

We must recognize that what we wear to work is a reflection on both our professionalism and our company. Although comfort is a priority, certain standards are required. Good personal hygiene and a neat appearance are expected of all employees and acceptable standards for attire include the following:

• A comfortable collared short-sleeved shirt or pullover. • Dark colored khaki’s/work shorts, or pants. • Black shoes/boots. •

Please use good judgment and good taste, remembering that rightly or wrongly, people judge us individually and as a company, in part on our appearance. T-shirts, hoodies, jeans, sweatpants, jerseys, athletic shorts (etc.) are not acceptable.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE POLICY

The company is a drug-free workplace . Besides pre-employment drug testing, we also conduct post-accident and reasonable suspicion drug testing. We do not tolerate the violation of our Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy for any reason. Violations of the policy can pose a danger to you, your fellow employees, and our customers. It can also affect the Company’s good will, good name and everyone's job security. Quite simply, neither the Company nor you can afford it! A copy of the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy is permanently posted on the bulletin board and is reviewed with each employee. If you have any questions concerning the policy, please discuss them with your supervisor or your Human Resources Department. To protect our customers and our employees’ safety and health, we take a number of steps to ensure that our policy is followed including for cause and/or post-accident testing. To help inform and educate all of us on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, we have established an awareness program. This program emphasizes our policy of maintaining a drug- and alcohol-free workplace; advises you of available counseling or rehabilitation opportunities and employee assistance programs; and includes features in our employee communications. The Company strongly encourages employees who develop a drug and/or alcohol problem to notify the human resources business partner or your supervisor prior to being caught in violation of this policy. It is the employee's responsibility to seek assistance before he or she is discovered in violation of the policy and the Company takes disciplinary action. If you enter a pre- approved treatment program, you may be eligible for certain benefits during your absence. Please see your human resources business partner for more details.

TOBACCO-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY

To provide a healthy work environment, the Company established a Tobacco-Free Workplace Policy. The Company does not permit smoking or the use of any tobacco products—including electronic cigarettes—inside its facilities or property, including warehouses and company-owned vehicles.
