8/18/2025 Page: 17

1.1 Written Plan

Every employer must have a written Injury and Illness Prevention Plan. This is “Dave’s Construction Service’s plan. Please read it carefully. While no plan can guarantee an accident-free work place, following the safety procedures set forth in this manual will significantly reduce the risk of danger to you and your co-workers. Thank you for all our safety.

1.2 Introduction to Our Program

State and federal law, as well as company policy, makes the safety and health of our employees the first consideration in operating our business. Safety and health in our business must be a part of every operation, and every employee's responsibility at all levels. It is the intent of “Dave’s Construction Service” to comply with all laws concerning the operation of the business and the health and safety of our employees and the public. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas that can produce or lead to injuries. No employee is required to work at a job known to be unsafe or dangerous to his or her health. Your cooperation in detecting hazards, reporting dangerous conditions and controlling workplace hazards is a condition of employment. Inform your supervisor immediately of any situation beyond your ability or authority to correct. Employees will not be disciplined or suffer any retaliation for reporting a safety violation in good faith.

1.3 Safety First Priority

The personal safety and health of each employee is of primary importance. Prevention of occupationally induced injuries and illnesses is of such consequence that it will be given precedence over operating productivity. To the greatest degree possible, management will provide all mechanical and physical protection required for personal safety and health, but our employees must bear primary responsibility for working safely. A little common sense and caution can prevent most accidents from occurring.

1.4 Individual Cooperation Necessary

“Dave’s Construction Service” maintains a safety and health program conforming to the best practices of our field. To be successful, such a program must embody proper attitudes towards injury and illness prevention on the part of supervisors and employees. It requires the cooperation in all safety and health matters, not only of the employer and employee, but also between the employee and all co-workers. Only through such a cooperative effort can a safety program in the best interest of all be established and preserved. Safety is no accident; think safety and the job will be safer.

1.5 Safety Program Goals

8/18/2025 Page: 18

The objective of “Dave’s Construction Service” is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing the best experience of similar operations by others. Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.

1.6 Safety Policy Statement

It is the policy of “Dave’s Construction Service” that accident prevention shall be considered of primary importance in all phases of operation and administration. It is the intention of “Dave’s Construction Service’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 accidents is an objective affecting all levels of our company and its operations. It is, therefore, a basic requirement that each supervisor make the safety of all 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 about how to do a job or task safely, it is his or her duty to ask a qualified person for assistance. Employees are expected to assist management in accident prevention activities. Unsafe conditions must be reported immediately. Fellow employees that need help should be assisted.

Everyone is responsible for the housekeeping duties that pertain to their jobs. Every injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, must be reported to management and/or the Responsible Safety Officer as soon as possible. Under no circumstances, except emergency trips to the hospital, should an employee leave the work site without reporting an injury. When you have an accident, everyone is hurt.

Please work safely. Safety is everyone's business.

1.7 Safety Rules for All Employees

It is the policy of “Dave’s Construction Service” that everything possible will be done to protect you from accidents, injuries and/or occupational disease while on the job.

Safety is a cooperative undertaking requiring an ever-present safety consciousness on the part of every employee. If an employee is injured, positive action must be taken promptly to see that the employee receives adequate treatment. No one likes to see a fellow employee injured by an accident. Therefore, all operations must be planned to prevent accidents. To carry out this policy, the following rules will apply:

1. All employees shall follow the safe practices and rules contained in this manual and such other rules and practices communicated on the job. All employees shall report all unsafe conditions or practices to the proper authority, including the supervision on the project, and, if corrective action is not taken immediately, a governmental authority with proper jurisdiction over such practices.

8/18/2025 Page: 19

2. The Safety Director shall be responsible for implementing these policies by insisting that employees observe and obey all rules and regulations necessary to maintain a safe work place and safe work habits and practices.

3. Good housekeeping must be practiced at all times in the work area. Clean up all waste and eliminate any dangers in the work area.

4. Suitable clothing and footwear must be worn at all times. Personal protection equipment (hardhats, respirators, eye protection) will be worn whenever needed.

1.15 Training

Employee safety training is another requirement of an effective injury and illness prevention program. While “Dave’s Construction Service” believes in skills training, we also want to emphasize safety training. All employees should start the safety training by reading this manual and discussing any problems or safety concerns with your direct supervisor. You may wish to make notes in the margins of this manual where it applies to your work.

1.16 Safety and Health Training

Training is one of the most important elements of any injury and illness prevention program. Such training is designed to enable employees to learn their jobs properly, bring new ideas to the workplace, reinforce existing safety policies and put the injury and illness prevention program into action. Training is required for both supervision and employees alike. The content of each training session will vary, but each session will attempt to teach the following:

10. The success of “Dave’s Construction Service’s injury and illness prevention program depends on the actions of individual employees as well as a commitment by the Company.

12. Each employee will learn when personal protective equipment is required or necessary, and how to use and maintain the equipment in good condition.

13. Each employee will learn what to do in case of emergencies occurring in the workplace.

Supervisors are also vested with special duties concerning the safety of employees.

The supervisors are key figures in the establishment and success of “Dave’s Construction Service’s injury and illness prevention program. They have primary responsibility for actually implementing the injury and illness prevention program, especially as it relates directly to the workplace. Supervisors are responsible for being familiar with safety and health hazards to which employees are exposed, how to recognize them, the potential effects of these hazards, and rules and procedures for maintaining a safe workplace. Supervisors shall convey this information to the employees at the workplace, and shall investigate accidents according to the accident investigation policies contained in this manual.

1.17 Periodic Safety Training Meetings

“Dave’s Construction Service” has safety meetings weekly. The purpose of the meeting is to convey safety information and answer employee questions. The format of most meetings will be to review, in language understandable to every employee, the content of the injury prevention program, special work site hazards, serious concealed dangers, and material safety data sheets. Each week, the Safety Director will review a

8/18/2025 Page: 23 portion of the company's safe work practices contained in this booklet, or other safety related information. Whenever a new practice or procedure is introduced into the workplace, it will be thoroughly reviewed for safety. A sign-up sheet will be passed around each meeting, and notes of the meeting will be distributed afterwards. A copy of the notes will also be placed in the file of each employee who attends the meeting.

Employee attendance is mandatory and is compensable unless part of an official state approved training program or pre-employment requirement.

1.18 Employee Responsibility for Training

Teaching safety is a two-way street. “Dave’s Construction Service” can preach safety, but only employees can practice safety. Safety education requires employee participation. Every week, a meeting of all employees will be conducted for the purpose of safety instruction. The employees will discuss the application of the Company's injury and illness prevention program to actual job assignments. They will also read and discuss a section of the manual and review application of general safety rules to specific situations. Remember, the following general rules apply in all situations:

a. No employee should undertake a job that appears to be unsafe.

b. No employee is expected to undertake a job until he/she has received adequate safety instructions, and is authorized to perform the task.

c. No employee should use chemicals without fully understanding their toxic properties and without the knowledge required to work with these chemicals safely.

All such equipment must be properly maintained.

1.19 Communication

Employers should communicate to employees their commitment to safety and to make sure that employees are familiar with the elements of the safety program. “Dave’s Construction Service” communicates with its employees orally, in the form of directions and statements from your supervisor, written, in the form of directives and this manual, and by example. If you see a supervisor or management do something unsafe, please tell that person. We sometimes forget actions speak louder than words.

1.22 Safety Committees

8/18/2025 Page: 25

A Safety Committee made up of 3 employees and management has been established.

The committee will conduct regular meetings, keep minutes and make regular inspections of machinery, equipment, appliances and working conditions. Any conditions found unsafe by the Safety Committee shall be corrected or repaired immediately.

We recognize that cooperative effort is required to ensure a safe operation. For this reason, the “Dave’s Construction Service” has established a Safety Committee, composed of employees and management representatives. It is the duty of this committee to cooperate to maintain safe working conditions throughout the Company, to advise and educate employees in safe working practices, to investigate accidents and their causes, and to seek preventive measures. Meetings are held quarterly to consider the regular monthly inspection report, make recommendations for improvement of conditions, review and analyze accident reports, and to attend to any other business involving safety. If you would like to become part of the Safety Committee, now or in the future, please let the Responsible Safety Officer know of your interest.

The safety committee of 3 will meet regularly with management to discuss safety and other problems which may occur in the work area. In the event problems or questions do arise or in the event an employee feels unsure of his or her job requirements or performance, the following steps are to be followed:

A. First, take the problem up with the supervisor or department head. If, after discussion, the problem remains unresolved, use Step B.

If you and the crew representative are still not satisfied, the matter will then be referred to the Committee for disposition at the next regular meeting or at a special meeting, if such special meeting is deemed necessary.

C. All decisions arrived at by the Committee in Step B will be subject to review by the Personnel Director of “Dave’s Construct
