Cedar Bay's Safety Program Summary

The following is a brief summary of the "Cedar Bay Policies" contained in Section I of Cedar Bay's Safety & Health Program Manual:

Policy Statement & Program Objective: Cedar Bay is committed to a "safe and healthful working environment" for all employees and persons on our jobsites and promotes the philosophy that "quality and safety are inseparable". Cedar Bay's Safety Program objectives include: (1) Developing and implementing safety and health policies; (2) Reducing accidents, thereby reducing personal injury and property damage; (3) Cooperating with clients to comply with all safety laws and OSHA regulations; and (4) Delegating responsibility. Failure to comply with the Safety & Health Program will result in disciplinary action for employees and removal from the jobsite for non-employees.

Assignment of Responsibility & Authority: The Company President is the Company Safety Officer with responsibility for overall "coordination and promotion" of the Safety & Health Program. The Project Superintendents serve as, or appoint, Project Safety Officers responsible for conducting and documenting weekly safety meetings and jobsite safety inspections, posting and enforcing safety policies, and monitoring Subcontractors. The Field Safety Representative acts as liaison between the office and field to comply with OSHA, train employees, conduct safety meetings, jobsite inspections and accident investigations, maintain inventory of safety equipment and attend safety-training seminars.

Subcontractors & Other Prime Contractors: We require all Subcontractors to acknowledge receipt of our Safety & Health Program Manual and furnish Cedar Bay with a copy of theirs. All Subcontractors are responsible for complying with the policies outlined in our Safety Manual, as well as all Federal, State and Local safety rules and regulations. During our jobsite inspections, Subcontractor safety violations are noted and they are advised to take corrective action.

Drug & Alcohol Policy: Complies with "Drug-Free Work Place Act of 1988" by requiring alcohol and drug testing for pre-employment, post accident, reasonable cause and return to duty and follow-up situations; provides for independent evaluations by a Substance Abuse Professional and Employee Assistance Programs.

New Employee Safety Training: Incorporates training videos, a review of written policies and demonstrations covering safety policies and procedures outlined in both "Cedar Bay Policies" (Section I) and "OSHA and Other Policies" (Section II) of Cedar Bay's Safety & Health Program Manual. Approximate training time is seven hours, less breaks. On-the-job safety orientation includes instruction in proper and safe jobsite attire, issuance of personal protection equipment and coupling with an experienced employee to oversee the new employee and act as a mentor.

Continuing Safety Training: Outlines continuing safety training through meetings and inspections and training in new policies and procedures.

Safety Incentive Program: Establishes a reward system for accident-free employees to receive U. S. Savings Bonds annually.
