GENERAL WORKPLACE SAFETY RULES


1.   All employees of this company shall follow these and their specific department's
     workplace safety rules, render every possible aid to safe operations, and report all
     unsafe conditions or practices to their supervisor or the designated Safety
     Coordinator.

2.   No one shall knowingly be permitted or required to work while his or her ability or
     alertness is impaired by fatigue, illness or other causes that might expose the
     individual or others to injury.  Anyone known to be under the influence of alcohol
     and/or non-prescription drugs shall not be allowed on the job while in that condition.

3.   No employee is expected to undertake a job until he or she has received job
     instructions on how to do it properly and has been authorized to perform that job. 
     No employee should undertake a job that appears unsafe.

4.   Employees should be alert to see that all guards and other protective devices are in
     proper places and adjusted, and shall report deficiencies.  Approved protective
     equipment shall be worn in specified work areas.

5.   Horseplay, scuffling and other acts which tend to endanger the safety or well-being
     of employees are prohibited.

6.   Work should be well planned and supervised to prevent injuries when working with
     equipment and handling heavy materials.  When lifting heavy objects, employees
     should bend their knees and use the large muscles of the leg instead of the smaller
     muscles of the back.  Back injuries are the most frequent and often the most
     persistent and painful type of workplace injury.

7.   Workers shall not handle, tamper with or operate any machinery or equipment not
     within the scope of their duties, unless they have received special permission and
     instructions from their supervisor.

8.   Loose of frayed clothing, dangling ties, finger rings, etc. must not be worn around
     moving machinery or other places they can get caught. Wash thoroughly after
     handling any injurious or poisonous substances.

9.   Do not throw material, tools or other objects from heights (whether structures or
     buildings) until proper precautions are taken to protect others from the falling object
     hazard.  When using ladders, arrange work so that you are able to face the ladder
     and use both hands while climbing.

10.  All injuries shall be reported promptly to the supervisor and/or Safety Coordinator
     so that arrangements can be made for medical and/or first aid treatment.
