In the event that a worker has three formal written reprimands of various and/or different violations the worker will be immediately removed from the project or terminated and shall not be permitted to return. A worker may be removed from the jobsite or terminated at anytime if the violation is flagrant or involves a serious offense such as assault, horseplay, refusal to obey safety policies, any act Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service deems discourteous or disrespectful to a client, etc. Subcontractors or lower tiered supervisors who are unable or unwilling to secure safe performance in compliance with the contractual obligations of safety will not be considered acceptable and will be removed from the project. OSHA Inspection Policy Workplace inspections by OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers (CSHO) are usually unannounced. The following is a summary of procedures to be followed for unannounced inspections: 1. The Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service safety consultant (Safety and Risk Solutions) must be notified immediately if a CSHO arrives at a Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service facility or work location. 2. The CSHO should be escorted to a private office or job trailer and asked for the OSHA representative's identification, including picture identification. The card and ID should be copied. The reason for the inspection must then be determined and make notes of the answer. If the inspection is the result of a complaint, request a copy of the complaint. 3. It is the policy of Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service that the safety consultant accompany the CSHO during the tour and answer the questions. Do not engage in any substantive discussion with the OSHA compliance officer without the safety consultant present. Do not provide the CSHO with any written documentation unless directed to do so by the safety consultant. 4. If OSHA appears at the jobsite and requests an inspection, the safety consultant must be contacted immediately. If the safety consultant does not respond, the President of Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service will be contacted. The safety consultant or the Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service President will communicate by telephone directly with the OSHA CSHO until an authorized representative of management arrives at the site to meet with the OSHA CSHO and handle the request for inspection. Site management is not authorized to allow OSHA to commence an inspection until approval is expressly given directly by the safety consultant or the Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service President. 5, The CSHO must be accompanied by one Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service Superintendent or higher. This responsibility cannot be delegated to an "in -charge" or other non -management employee. If no General Superintendent is on-site, the compliance officer should be so advised and asked to "stand-by" until one is contacted. 12
