        SUBCONTRACTOR’S CITATIONS FOR JOB SITE SAFETY VIOLATIONS

1. Personal Protective Equipment/Proper Work Attire.
   1.1 Under no circumstances shall an employee of any other subcontractor on a job site perform a task without the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) or proper work attire (PWA).
   1.2 PWA for all SC job sites is defined as:
   "All workers on our job sites must adhere to the following requirements in conformance with Government recommendations, and High Industries, Inc. policy. Minimum work clothing will consist of a short sleeved, full length T- shirt, long pants, and substantial work boots. Shorts, sneakers, muscle shirts or cut-off shirts are not acceptable. In addition all clothing should be in good repair, and not subject the wearer to unnecessary hazards due to loose, flowing fit or excessive bagginess."
   1.3 Any individual not meeting the standards of PWA shall be instructed to leave the job site. Such individuals may return to the site when they do meet the standards of PWA.
   1.4 If any individual is observed working without proper PPE, a representative of SC shall immediately inform the individual to discontinue work and obtain the necessary PPE from their employer.
   1.5 Any individual failing to comply with a directive to use proper PPE shall be directed to leave the job site immediately. In such instance, the SC PM and/or Site Rep shall issue a Citation for Job Site Safety Violation to document the incident and notify the individual's employer.
   1.6 SC shall not provide PPE to employees of subcontractors.
   1.7 If an individual is directed to leave the job site on two separate occasions for failure to use proper PPE, that individual shall not be permitted to return to the job site for the remaining duration of the project.

2. Other Safety Violations
   2.1 Any unsafe condition or unsafe work practice observed on the job site by an employee of SC shall be brought to the attention of the responsible party(ies) for immediate correction.
   2.2 If the unsafe condition or unsafe work practice is corrected immediately, no further action is required.
   2.3 If an unsafe condition is identified which cannot be corrected immediately (less than 15 minutes), the SC PM and/or Site Rep shall first take necessary steps to install protective barriers or equipment until the condition can be corrected. After the hazard is isolated, the PM and/or Site Rep shall complete a Citation for Job Site Safety Violation.
   2.4 Citations for Safety Violations shall be hand delivered to the job site supervisor of the responsible subcontractor(s). If no supervisor is on site for a subcontractor, the Citation should be hand delivered to one of their employees on site.
   2.5 Copies of the Citation shall be emailed to the office of the subcontractor on the same day as the unsafe condition was recognized.
   2.6 Copies of the citation shall be forwarded to the main office of SC to the attention of Francesco Genoese for his review and filing.
   2.7 If an unsafe condition is not corrected within 24 hours of issuance of a citation, or other time period deemed by the SC PM and/or Site Rep to be appropriate for the corrective work, a second citation for job site safety violation shall be issued.
   2.8 If an unsafe condition is not corrected within a reasonable amount of time from the second citation for job site safety violation, the SC PM and/or Site Rep shall work jointly with the Project Executive to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the unsafe conditions. All expenses incurred by SC in such an endeavor shall be charged back to the responsible subcontractor(s).

Please Note: StructureCare may update safety requirements and regulations at any time. Safety

requirements may vary due to job specific tasks, or by city and state. SC may request additional safety measures and therefore sub-contractors are subject, but not limited to the above.
