They are not inflexible rules or requirements. They may be changed by the company at any time without notice or modified as individual circumstances may require in the best interests of efficient management of the company. Nothing in the policies as they now exist or may in the future be revised, is intended or should be construed as a contract of employment, express or implied, nor a promise of employment for a specific period of time, nor a requirement that any specific procedure be followed in handling personnel issues. Company Safety Guiding Principles To All Employees: The following policies of Superior Landscaping are not inflexible rules or requirements. They may be changed by the Company at any time without notice or modified as individual circumstances may require in the best interests of efficient management of the Company. Nothing in the policies as they now exist, or may in the future be revised, is intended or should be construed as a contract of employment, express or implied, nor as a promise of employment for a specific period of time, nor as a requirement that any specific procedure be followed in handling personnel issues. Company management will provide safe and healthy working conditions. All employees must follow safe practices at all times. All employees must accept and follow all rules of safety. Whenever an employee finds an unsafe condition they must report it immediately to their supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Any injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, is to be reported to management as soon as possible. In no circumstance except an emergency, should an employee leave a shift without reporting an injury that occurred. All employees including office personnel will be trained in safe practices. The training will be done by video or by training from the employees' supervisor. If the employee is observed using an unsafe practice, he or she will receive a written violation warning. Once the employee receives three (3) written warnings, he or she will be automatically suspended for one (1) workday without pay. Superior Landscaping will make every effort to maintain safe working conditions. However, the principal responsibility for safety falls upon you, the employee! All employees are asked to inform their supervisor, safety committee personnel, or management of any work hazards of which they might be aware. Superior Landscaping will arrange for you to supply information anonymously if you do not wish to be identified. No employee should fear reprisal for notifying management of any safety hazards. In fact, we encourage all employees to inform us immediately of any hazard, no matter how small it may seem. All safety and health suggestions that we receive will be reviewed. We will then determine what action is necessary. All suggestions shall receive a response. The injured employee's supervisor or someone from management will investigate all occupational injuries and illnesses that are job-related. Particular attention will be given to methods to prevent future situations that caused the injury or illness. All employees will receive prompt and timely safety training. Safety rules and safe practices will be emphasized at these training sessions. All new employees will receive a copy of the summary, to be signed and put in their file, indicating that they have been trained at the beginning of employment. Any employee given a new job assignment, for which training has not previously been received, will be trained in that particular job immediately. Records will be kept of all training provided. These records will indicate the type of training given, date, the name of the training provider and the employee's signature. Safety— Assigned Responsibilities Manager In effectively executing their safety responsibilities, managers will: ❑ Familiarize themselves with the safety program and ensure its effective implementation. ❑ Be aware of all safety considerations when introducing a new process, procedure, machine or material to the workplace. ❑ Give maximum support to all programs and committees whose function is to promote safety and health. ❑ Actively participate in safety activities as required. ❑ Review serious accidents to ensure that proper reports are completed, and appropriate action is taken to prevent recurrences. Supervisors Their responsibilities are to: ❑ Familiarize themselves with company safety policies, programs and procedures. ❑ Provide appropriate safety training to employees prior to the assignment of duties. ❑ Consistently and fairly enforce all company safety rules. ❑ Investigate injuries to determine cause, then take action to prevent recurrence. ❑ See that all injuries, no matter how minor, are treated immediately and referred to the front office to ensure prompt reporting to the insurance carrier. ❑ Inspect work areas often to detect unsafe conditions and work practices. Use company self - inspection checklists as required. All Employees Employee responsibilities for safety include the following: ❑ Adhere to all safety rules and regulations. ❑ Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as required. ❑ Maintain equipment in good condition, with all safety guards in place when in operation. ❑ Report all injuries and near misses, no matter how minor, immediately to their supervisor, safety personnel or management. ❑ Encourage coworkers to work safely. ❑ Report unsafe acts and conditions to their supervisor, safety personnel, or management. ANSI Z133 Standard & Employee Understanding As an employee of Superior Landscaping & Lawn Service, Inc., you need to review and understand the requirements of the ANSI Z133.1-2000 Standard. You need to understand that the Z133 Standard was developed by arborists, for arborists under the standards -developing procedures created by the American National Standards Institute, creating what this industry's safety experts feel are the minimum acceptable standards of practice for safety in arboriculture. It represents the collective wisdom and experience of countless arborists. You need to realize that this or any standard cannot cover every situation. For instance, the Z133 Standard states that specialized practices or personnel emergencies may require modification of standard requirements, and that it is not intended to limit the options available to you in either of those situations. You should not expect to have to deviate from the Standard's requirements, but if you do, you will have to be able to justify your actions. You need to understand the difference between "Should" and "Shall" as they are used in the standard. The word "Should" indicates an advisory statement where it is feasible that the actions you take might be different from the prescribed practice. A "Shall" indicates a mandatory requirement, where it is inconceivable that your actions would have to deviate from the prescribed practice, except where exceptions are noted in the Standard. Finally, you need to understand that the Z 13 3 Standard does not take precedence over, or take the place of, the safe work policies of Superior Landscaping Safety Rules For the protection and safety of all employees, Superior Landscaping has established the following rules designed to prevent accidents and injuries. Compliance with these rules is mandatory. Documentation will be made when the rules are distributed to new employees. Proper footwear and clothing will be worn at all times. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or keep long hair in a down position. There is a danger of catching such articles in moving machinery. Horseplay, running, fighting or any activity that may result in injury or waste will not be tolerated. Appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, will be worn for the task(s) at hand, as specified by training and job briefing(s). Operate machinery with all guards in place. Tampering with safety devices is cause for immediate disciplinary action. Do not operate any machine you are not familiar with or have not been trained on and authorized to use. Machines must never be cleaned, adjusted or repaire01q1--the-machine-is-turned il off,_ the -circuit -is", interrupted at the power source (including lock -out) and a warning tag is placed at the controls. Each person involved in maintenance must use his own personal padlock to ensure total lack of power until all work has been completed. Any defects in materials, machinery, tools and equipment must be reported immediately to a supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Do not leave tools, materials, or other objects on the floor that might cause others to trip and fall. Do not block exits, fire doors, aisles, fire extinguishers, gas meters, electrical panels or traffic lanes. Avoid injury by attempting to lift or push excessive loads. If an object is too heavy to move without strain, ASK FOR HELP. Observe the correct posture for lifting. Stand with your feet slightly apart, assume a squatting position with knees bent, and tuck your chin into your chest. Tilt head forward, grasp the load with both hands, and gradually push up with your legs, keeping your back straight and avoiding any abrupt movement. Do not distract others while working. When approaching a coworker for any purpose, do so from the front or the side in a way that they will see you coming and will not be startled or surprised. If conversation is necessary, first make sure that it is safe. Do not allow oil, water or any other material to remain on the floor for long periods of time where you or others may slip. Report any slip and fall problems to your supervisor. Comment [N1]: This requirement, as it is worded, would be difficult to apply to a chipper, and actually exceed OSHA requirements. I suggest the following, excerpted from the ANSI Z133.1-2001 Standard: Sequence for securing equipment 1.The authorized person shall notify the crew and/or affected employees that maintenance/repair is to be done and that such equipment must be shut down and secured. 2.The authorized person shall refer to the manufacturer's manual for proper procedures (as needed). 3.I1' equipment is in an operational mode, shut it down by normal procedures. 4.Keyed ignition systems must be in working order. Keys shall be removed and pocketed by the foreman of mechanic. When there is no keyed ignition system, the battery cables or spark plug wires may be disconnected. 5.Materials/parts that must be raised or disconnected and suspended shall be properly secured, such as with an appropriate sling or jackstand. Flywheels, such as chipper cutter heads, are to be blocked to prevent pinch points. 6.Disengagethe power take-offbefore servicing/repairing, such as with hose replacement. Disconnect all hydraulic tools before adjusting or servicing. Do not attempt to stop a hydraulic leak with your body. 7.Rotating parts, such as chipper blades, shall be stopped before maintenance/repair. 8.Ensure that equipment is isolated and will not operate before proceeding with maintenance/repair. 9.When the engine must be running for tuning or adjustment. Special care must be given to moving parts. Restoring equipment to service When maintenancetrepair is complete and equipment is ready to return to normal operation, the following steps shall be taken. I.Check for loose parts or tools that may have been left in the immediate area to prevent accidental contact with moving or electrical components when the equipment is engaged. 2.Ensure that all guards are in place and employees are in the clear. 3.Confirm that controls are in neutral. 4.Reconnect key, cable or plug wires. Notify affected employees that equipment is ready to return to service. When handling hazardous materials, be sure to follow prescribed safety procedures and use required safety equipment. When using secondary containers filled by others, be sure they are labeled as to their contents and hazards. Know your Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) and where they are located. Review them often. Use appropriate gloves when handling materials with sharp or jagged edges, when handling chemicals, when handling hot material, or to protect your hands in general. Do not attempt to operate machinery for which you are not trained. Unnecessary and excessive haste is the cause for many accidents. Exercise caution at all times. All work related injuries and accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately to your supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Employees should be understand and comply with all sections of the ANSI Z133.1 Standard that apply to their job activities. All employees must be thoroughly familiar with these basic safety rules. Failure to comply with safety rules or procedures, or failure to wear the appropriate safety equipment, will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. The Safety Committee The Safety Director will be responsible for the formation of a Safety Committee and will direct the activity by establishing and maintaining a functional accident prevention program. The program should be designed to eliminate workplace hazards and protect workers at all levels. Objective The Safety Committee shall assist the Safety Director in the development and implementation of an aggressive accident prevention program. The individual experience, unique training, and the specialized training of the committee members should guide the program development process. Membership The size of the safety committee will vary with the size of the business and should be large enough to accomplish the goals and work together effectively. Typically, membership should include the Safety Director, the Production Manager or Department Supervisor, and an employee of each of the trades or departments within the company. Procedures The safety committee will meet on a monthly basis, with minutes held (see form below). The minutes are to be distributed to all committee members, the location General Manager and all Department Heads. Recommendations should be classified as administrative or operational, and further identified by the month submitted and a number. They should be tracked and those not completed should be entered into the minutes of the current meeting, with a specific plan or outline for resolution. Shop/Material Handling Safety Guidelines ❑ Employees must keep floors clean, dry, and free of oil, water or other liquids. ❑ Employees shall not lift any more than one object at a time. ❑ Proper lifting techniques shall be used (back injury prevention training is required for employees in this job safety class). ❑ Employees operating mechanical material handling equipment must be qualified by training and authorized by the area supervisor to do so. ❑ Employees must wear appropriate footwear. No tennis shoes (sneakers) allowed. Emergency Action Plan The following details the organizational structure of our plan and outlines emergency measures to be taken in the event of fire or other emergency. Remember, your conduct and actions during the first few minutes of any emergency may not only save your life, but the lives of your fellow workers and other members of the community as well. General Information Two important telephone calls need to be made if the facility is to be evacuated because of a fire or disaster within the facility, or an external hazardous condition threatening the facility. If either of these two situations occur, notify 911 (Emergency Medical Services and Police). Upon order of management or other person(s) in charge to totally evacuate the facility, the company will initiate evacuation center receiving plan. It may be necessary to transport company personnel to a local evacuation center. Priority of evacuation may be a necessity if there are handicapped employees. Materials and supplies to be evacuated include, but may not be limited to, first aid kits, the MSDS binder and the personnel roster. Responsibilities The Safety Director will: ❑ Coordinate the Emergency Evacuation Plan throughout the facility. ❑ Make certain the Program is familiar to all personnel and that all new employees are promptly oriented. ❑ Schedule education as necessary The Safety Director will be aided by the Supervisors who will: ❑ Facilitate the Emergency Evacuation Plan. ❑ Keep contact check on all personnel to be sure that they are completely familiar with all phases of the Plan that they are required to know. ❑ See that personnel participate in awareness training, fire classes, and other practices sessions as necessary. ❑ Be certain that all personnel are familiar with fire extinguishers, and make thorough fire prevention inspections when they are assigned to do so. ❑ Take the necessary steps required to correct any fire hazards discovered. It is the duty of every employee to: ❑ Be completely familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Plan and their duties or responsibilities in the program ❑ Participate in all fire drills and practice sessions. ❑ Attend all fire training classes when assigned. ❑ Learn the location of and how to operate fire alarm systems and all fire extinguishing equipment. ❑ Report any fire and/or safety hazard located any place on company property. Fire Emergency Plan Keep Calm ... Report all fires and smoke Personnel have been assigned to: ❑ Sound the internal fire alarm ❑ Notify office staff ❑ Remove personnel from the building ❑ Close all doors and windows in the fire area --ONLY if this can be done safely ❑ Notify the fire department The person reporting the fire to the fire department will provide them with the following information: ❑ Superior Landscaping & Lawn Service, Inc. ❑ 2200 NW 23`d Avenue, Miami, FL 33142 ❑ What is burning (machines; paper, etc.) ❑ Location of fire (roof, plant, office, etc.) ❑ Type of fire (electrical, liquid, etc.) Additional assignments have been made to attempt to extinguish fire with the use of on -premises equipment (extinguishers, hoses, etc.). A minimum of two persons is required to fight a fire. To ensure employee safety, this is to be done only during the early stages of the fire. Working away from the involved area, personnel will be assigned to: ❑ Clear the aisles, hallways and other areas of personnel and visitors ❑ Close all doors and windows ❑ Check driveways to see that they are clear for entry of fire fighting equipment ❑ Wait at the front entrance for the arrival of fire fighting equipment. Direct the firemen to the fire if necessary. Re-entry onto the property will not be permitted until it is declared safe to do so by management, or by the local fire/law enforcement officials. Hazard Communication Name of Contact Person: Title: Hazard Evaluation Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to review the available scientific evidence concerning the hazards of the chemicals they produce, then report that information to employees who purchase their product. In most cases, Superior Landscaping will choose to rely on the evaluations performed by our suppliers. If for some reason we do not trust the evaluation of the manufacturer, we will arrange for additional testing. We will consider the following chemicals used in our business to be hazardous: 1. 7. 2. 8. 3. 9. 4. 10. 5. 11. 6. 12. Labels & Other Forms of Warning We will make certain that containers are adequately labeled to identify the hazardous chemicals they contain and will show hazard warnings appropriate for your protection. The warnings will use a combination of words, pictures and symbols that will communicate the hazards of the chemical(s) in the container. The labels will be legible and prominently displayed. Our training program will include instruction on how to read and interpret label information. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: We are permitted to post signs that convey the hazard information if there are a number of stationary containers in a given area, which have similar contents and hazards. We are not required to label portable containers, as long as the transferred chemical is for immediate use by the employee who made the transfer. We are not required to label pipes or piping systems. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) The management of Superior Landscaping is responsible for obtaining or developing an MSDS for each chemical used in the workplace. Each MSDS will include the specific chemical identity of the chemical involved and the common names. Each data sheet will provide information on the physical and chemical characteristics of the chemical; known acute and chronic health effects and related health information; exposure limits; whether the chemical is considered to be a carcinogen; precautionary measures; emergency and first aid procedures; and the identification of the organization responsible for preparing the sheet, how to store the chemical, and how to transport the chemical. An assigned person or persons will be responsible for maintaining the MSDS's describing chemicals used in his/her department and for keeping them readily available to employees. Our training program will include instructions on how to read and interpret information on an MSDS, and how you can obtain and use the available hazard information. Employee Training It is the goal of Superior Landscaping to provide hazard communication training during the first 30 days of employment and whenever a new chemical is introduced to a given work area. Training will be done in a meeting setting and will be conducted by the Program Coordinator or another who has been properly trained. The training program will consist of. ❑ How the hazard communication program is implemented, how to read and interpret information on labels and MSDS, and how employees can obtain and use the available hazard information. ❑ The hazards of chemicals to which employees are exposed in the work area. ❑ Measures employees can take to protect themselves from the hazards ❑ Specific procedures put into effect by the company to provide protection, such as personal protective equipment, mechanical guards, or protective processes. ❑ Methods that you can use, such as visual appearance or smell, to detect presence of hazardous chemicals to which you or your co-workers may be exposed. ❑ Name and/or job title of who you can go to if you have questions. Drug/Alcohol Free Workplace It is the policy of Superior Landscaping that its employees are free from alcohol and controlled substances to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Being fit for duty is a condition of employment for each employee. To that end, our drug/alcohol free workplace program includes drug and alcohol testing, education and training, prevention and intervention, and an Employee Assistance Program for the treatment of alcohol and/or drug abuse. In addition, the following rules apply: ■ Superior Landscaping will not hire individuals who test positive for alcohol or illegally used controlled substances. ■ Employees may not use, possess, sell, manufacture or distribute illegal drugs while performing Company business, while in a Company-owned vehicle or while on Company property. ■ Employees are prohibited from using, possessing or selling alcohol or products that contain alcohol while performing Company business, while in a Company-owned vehicle or while on Company property. (Optional language: Exceptions to this rule regarding alcohol may be made for certain company sponsored social functions, only if authorized by the President of the company or his designee.) ■ The Company reserves the right to inspect Company vehicles and/or property at any time and for any reason, whether locked or otherwise, and to inspect personal property while located in a Company vehicle or on Company property, or at any site where employees may be sent on Company business. ■ Employees who are convicted of a drug related offense would be considered in violation of this policy. In addition, employees who are convicted of a drug-related offense or a felony alcohol offense must report such convictions to their Supervisor within five days of the conviction. Employees using prescription or over-the-counter drugs are responsible for their side effects and precautions which may affect their ability to perform their job. Employees using these products should consult their doctor before doing so. Sharing prescription drugs is in violation of both our Company policy and Federal law. Only the person to whom a drug is prescribed is allowed to take that drug. Employees who share their own prescription, take another person's prescription, and/or test positive for a prescription drug and who cannot validate that. prescription for that drug will be considered in violation of this policy. Individuals found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including possible termination of employment, even for a first offense.

Lifting objects improperly can also hurt the back. Lifting with the back and not the legs, lifting from an awkward position, or trying to move material too large for one person can lead to injury. Even simple movements can cause back injury. Stepping from a truck, bending over for a small tool, or over -reaching can strain back muscles. Table 1 below ranks the most frequent causes of back injury in tree care in descending order. Muscle strains and sprains — soft tissue injuries - cause most arborists' back problems. These are temporary injuries. More important, strains and sprains usually precede more serious, chronic and debilitating injuries to the ligaments, discs and vertebrae. In a sense, soft tissue injuries are warning signals that more serious, permanent injury could occur. Therefore your back injury prevention program should focus on preventing strains and sprains. Preventive measures Arborists can keep their backs healthy with stretching and exercise, by knowing how the back works, and by using simple lifting techniques. Here are attainable objectives for your company's back injury prevention program: Lifting... large objects irregularly-shaped objects over the shoulder Twisting... while feeding brush into a chipper while positioning in a bucket or a tree while dragging brush, reaching, using long poles from sudden slips due to poor ground conditions on slippery equipment in snow or rain Jumping... off truck bed or out of truck cab over fences off ladders out of trees Pulling ... ropes hangers trees. on removals Provide continuous training for all employees to raise their awareness of how the back can be injured. Develop action steps employees can use to detect and eliminate conditions likely to cause back injury — see this program's sections on hazard reporting (16), safety committees (23), job hazard assessment (15) and job briefings (17). Motivate employees to take responsibility for back safety at work and at home. 12 The following procedures are taken from Annex C of the ANSI Z133 Standard: Before lifting any weight: (a) Be sure clear the travel path available if the weight is to be carried from one place to another. (b) Decide exactly how the object should be grasped to avoid sharp edges, slivers, splinters, or other things that might cause injury. (c) Make a preliminary lift to be sure the load can be safely handled. (d) Place feet solidly on the walking surface. (e) Crouch as close to the load as possible with legs bent at an angle of about 90 degrees. (f) Keep back as straight as possible. It may be far from vertical but should not be arched. (g) Lift with the legs, not the back, keeping the weight as close to the body as possible. (h) Use a second worker when necessary. Stretching and exercises The professional athlete must maintain a high level of production and effort to win. The same is true for an employee, who must perform at peak efficiency. Strains of the lower back muscles, the most common back injury, usually occur because the muscles are cold and tight. If the athlete warms up and stretches to avoid injury, then why not the worker? Superior Landscaping will provide you with information on simple, quick warm-up/stretches that you can perform prior to heavy exertion. Disciplinary Procedures Employees who fail to comply with safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Supervisors will follow the normal disciplinary procedures as follows: 1. Verbal counseling - must be documented in the employee's personnel file. 2. Written warning - outlining nature of offense and necessary corrective action. 3. Suspension without pay - one (1) working day without pay - the third step or a separate disciplinary action resulting from a serious violation. 13 4. Termination - if an employee is to be terminated, specific and documented communication between the supervisor and the employee must occur. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action for the following reasons: ■ Repeated safety rule violation by their department employees. ■ Failure to provide adequate training prior to job assignment. ■ Failure to report accidents and provide medical attention to employees injured at work. ■ Failure to control unsafe conditions or work practices. ■ Failure to maintain good housekeeping standards and cleanliness in their departments. Supervisors who fail to maintain high standards of safety within their departments will be demoted or terminated after three documented warnings have been levied during any calendar year. Specific Operational Procedures & Safety Guidelines Cosmetic appearance of trucks and equipment is in the strictest sense a maintenance function that is overlooked all too often. However, it is something that must be followed on a continuing basis to keep it in check. Stump Grinder ❑ Check all moving parts and hoses before operations ❑ Stand clear of stump when grinding ❑ Keep restraining curtain in place, turn motor off and be sure grinding wheel is prevented from turning when servicing or adjusting ❑ Do not move from operating position until grinding wheel has stopped turning ❑ Observe all operating procedures as posted ❑ When transporting, secure with load binders at all times ❑ PPE (ear protection, mask and hardhat) must be worn Truck ❑ Perform pre -trip inspection before operations and post -trip inspection after operations ❑ Report any problems immediately to your supervisors ❑ Maintain maintenance log at all times ❑ PPE as directed (head protection, hands, eye protection) must be worn ❑ Check chainsaw for fuel and oil before using and removing from truck ❑ Chock wheels when parking and set brake Chipper ❑ Make sure all safety devices are functional before operating ❑ Observe lockout procedures when changing knives 14 Techniques for fewer problems with the chipper ❑ Always let chipper warm up for 3 minutes. ❑ Have up to high rpm before feeding heavy sticks. ❑ If unit lugs, pull remaining branches back and redo at higher rpm. ❑ Push material in with another stick. ❑ Ease in clutch at low rpm ❑ Pull chipper with tongue extended to maximum length. ❑ Conditions may vary but keep chipper as level as possible when operating. ❑ Always have a second crewmember directing when backing the chipper. ❑ Keep knives in matched sets for best balance. ❑ Do not start machine with debris in place ❑ Don't put hands past the rear plane of the infeed hopper into feed wheel area ❑ <If applicable> Keep hands off of winch cable when pulling logs or debris ❑ Chock wheels on chipper anytime it is disconnected from the truck Aerial Lifts ❑ Chock wheels, set hand brake ❑ Lower outriggers and make secure ❑ Visually inspect all cables and hoses before operation ❑ Secure safety belt lanyard to bucket or boom ❑ Do not operate within 10 feet of power lines unless specifically trained and authorized to do so Splitter ❑ Check hoses and hydraulic fluid levels before operation ❑ Wear PPE when operating ❑ Keep hands away from blade and during operation ❑ Follow lock -out procedures before fixing jams ❑ Turn engine off to refuel ❑ Block wheels on level ground before operating Ladders ❑ Get help with very long or heavy ladders. ❑ Make sure there are no power lines or branches that are low enough to interfere. ❑ Make sure the ladder has firm, level footing. Do not shim with multiple boards or blocks. ❑ For a straight or extension ladder set the base out one foot for every four feet of height. ❑ The ladder should be tall enough that you do not have to stand on the top three rungs. ❑ Long or light metal ladders should be tied off or otherwise secured at the top. ❑ Two hands should be used when climbing a ladder. ❑ If electrical lines are present, use only a nonconductive ladder. Driver Standard Operating Procedures & Safety Guidelines Keep your vehicle presentable, and drive in a safe and courteous manner. The company's image is presented each time you drive our vehicle. Inspect motorized vehicles and other mechanical equipment daily or prior to use per the pre -trip inspection checklist. No smoking during refueling. Turn engine off to refuel. You are not permitted to operate the company vehicle out of the Superior Landscaping radius of operations without specific authorization from your supervisor. 15 Company vehicles are to be used only by approved company drivers. No riders or non-employee passengers are permitted. The company vehicle is to be used exclusively for company business -- no personal use is permitted. As the driver you are responsible for all co-workers. All seat belts must be worn at all times. Report mechanical problems to your.supervisor immediately. Do not operate a vehicle that is unsafe. Report all accidents and traffic infractions to your supervisor. Anyone operating a company vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance will be terminated. Shut off engine, set brakes, and block wheels when parked, before loading or unloading vehicles, and before beginning on-site work. This includes trucks, equipment, and aerial lift devices. Any vehicle found to be defective shall be removed from service until properly repaired. All. vehicles and equipment shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Outriggers and wheel chocks shall be in place before operating vehicle - mounted equipment. Brakes shall be properly set. In the event of traffic around the work site, proper traffic control procedures will be in effect. Vehicle post -trip inspections/reporting Using the inspection report form Pre -Trip Inspection: Review the last Post -Trip Inspection Report to determine if defects or deficiencies were reported by prior driver(s). If defects were reported, be sure necessary repairs have been made and the person responsible for making the repairs has signed and dated the report in the space (maintenance action) provided. Sign and date in the space provided for "Reviewing driver" to acknowledge that the report was reviewed and defects, if any, were corrected. Post -Trip Inspection: 1. Enter truck number, current mileage and other applicable information in the space provided at top. Press hard, there are two copies. Also enter chipper or other towed equipment number, if applicable, in the space provided. 2. Complete the inspection at completion of the day's work. Check appropriate box(s) to indicate defect(s). If you find a defect that is not listed, enter it in comment section. 3. If no defects are noted, check NO DEFECTS. 4. Sign and date in space provided to certify inspection. 5. Remove the office copy and distribute as instructed. 6. The truck copy of the inspection report must be carried on the truck at all times. 16 Report Retention The original copy of each truck inspection report and the certification of repairs must be retained for at least three (3) months from the date the report was prepared. Important Before attempting maintenance on any chipper, read and follow the manufacturer's recommendations Work Zone Setup Controlling Traffic Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Use temporary traffic control devices, such as signage, road cones, paddles or flags in a consistent manner throughout the work zone. ❑ Use a flagger or flaggers when conditions warrant. ❑ Set up temporary traffic control within a reasonable time prior to work so that motorists do not become complacent and ignore warning signs and devices when work begins. ❑ Ensure that all traffic control devices are in place. Missing traffic control devices create the potential for motorists to inadvertently enter the workspace or exit the highway in the wrong place. Injury Prevention Measures - Work zone layout Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Assign a crewmember who is knowledgeable in traffic control principles overall responsibility for the safety of the work zone setup. ❑ Ensure that the work zone is set up in accordance with the Millennium Edition of the MUTCD. ❑ Authorize the designated crewmember to temporarily halt work until unsafe conditions related to temporary traffic control have been eliminated. ❑ Document work zone setup and changes throughout the course of a project. Retain these records in a "job file" as a reference for future jobs. Use of temporary traffic control devices Most temporary traffic control zones are divided into four areas: the advance warning area, the transition area, the activity area and the termination area: Advance warning area — section of road where drivers are warned about the upcoming work zone. Warning has to be far enough in advance of the work to give drivers time to react, yet not so far that it encourages drivers to ignore the warning or react sluggishly. On urban streets, the first warning sign should placed 4-8 times the speed limit (mph) in feet before the activity area, using the high end of the range when the speed limits are relatively high. On rural highways, it should be 8-12 times the speed limit in advance. 17 Warning sign size is based on speed limits: • On secondary roads or city streets where speeds are very low, minimum 36 -inch signs are acceptable. • Where speeds and volumes are moderately low, 36 -inch signs may be used, 48 -inch are recommended • For high speed/volume roads, 48 -inch signs are needed. EXAMPLE: On a 25 mph street, warning sign should be at least 25 X 5 = 125 ft. before the activity area. On a 45 mph street, the sign might be 45 X 8 = 360 ft. "upstream." When your work obstructs any part of the roadway, advance -warning signs are required in both traffic directions on a two-way road. Multiple signs may be needed on high-speed roads or where visibility is obstructed by something like a bend or hump in the road. Transition area — the section of road where traffic is redirected out of its normal path. The transition area makes use of a "taper," created with cones. A good rule of thumb is to space cones the same number of feet apart as the speed limit. For daytime work and low speed (40 mph and under) roads, 18 -inch cones are acceptable. For nighttime and/or higher speed roads, 28 -inch cones are required. Taper length is important. Table 1 below gives rule -of -thumb taper lengths, based on the width of the work zone (W), in feet. Table 1: Traffic Taper Length, based on Width of Offset (W) Type of taper Seed limit (mph) 15 25 35 165 merging 4W loW 120W 27W 45W 55W 65W Shifting 2W 5W im 13W 123W 28W 33W shoulder 1W 3W 17W 9W 115W 18W 21W one -lane, two-way 100 ft. maximum, flag ers required downstream 100 ft. per lane Activity area — this is the section where the work actually takes place. It should include a buffer space, sort of an extension of the work area in the direction of oncoming traffic (longitudinally) or extending past the side of the work vehicle (laterally), but free of equipment, vehicles and material. Termination area — is used to return vehicles to their normal path downstream of the work. In rural areas, there are generally higher speed limits, less turning traffic, lower volumes of traffic and fewer pedestrians. Urban areas are usually just the opposite. Your crew must evaluate the location, decide which controls are to be used, and see that a plan is followed. Your goals are to create a safe and efficient work site for your crew and passersby, to hinder traffic as little as possible and to guide vehicles and pedestrians in a clear and positive manner. Action steps for work site set-up: ❑ keep equipment and material neat and orderly within the protected area Orange Flag (optional) 4 0.3m(Ift) MIN. Typical warning sign ❑ use the truck's four-way flashers and beacon light, u so equipped, while you're setting up the signs and cones ❑ always chock trucks or detached chippers with at least two chocks ❑ be especially careful whenever children are in the vicinity 18 ❑ never venture outside the established work area in the roadway ❑ keep walkways as clear of debris as possible ❑ do not allow any non -company vehicle to park so that it obscures visibility of your work site Flaggers When your work operation requires traffic from both directions to use a single lane for a limited distance, then a flagger or flaggers are required. Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Train all flaggers consistent with their level of responsibility and work zone conditions. Flaggers should know the traffic flow, the work zone setup, and proper placement of channelizing devices. ❑ Assign each flagger responsibility for monitoring operations in his or her immediate work area. Authorize flaggers to recommend to the traffic control supervisor that operations be temporarily halted and the hazard corrected when they see a hazard threatening the safe movement of traffic through the work zone. Authorize flaggers to halt operations in the event a hazard arises and the traffic control supervisor is not in the immediate area. ❑ Train flaggers to maintain sufficient distance from other workers so that passing motorists can identify them. ❑ In the event multiple flaggers are required, ensure they have the appropriate sight distance or two-way radios to communicate effectively. ❑ Use alternatives to flaggers when traffic control is required under hazardous conditions such as high traffic speeds, inclement weather, night work, and other conditions that limit visibility. When a one -lane, two-way traffic control zone is short enough to allow a flagger to see Proper Flagger Techniques & Equipment PREFERRED METHOD EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ONLY STOP/SLOW Paddle Red Flag 450IIm__m--(18in) MIN I`�'I y 900 mm (36 in) 600 mmn T (24 in) 600 mm (24 in) TO STOP TRAFFIC w _ r TO LET TRAFFIC PROCEED w� � e ti TO ALERT AND SLOW TRAFFIC 19 from one end of the zone to the other, traffic may be controlled by either a single flagger or a flagger at either end of the section. When a single flagger is used, he/she should be positioned on the road shoulder opposite the work zone. When visibility is restricted or a single flagger cannot control traffic, then flaggers are needed at either end of the traffic control zone. The flaggers have to coordinate their actions through visual, voice or electronic communication. The flagger(s) need to positioned somewhere in advance of the activity area per Table 2, below. High -visibility apparel Tree care crews may need to: I able 2: Nistance AdvanceStation in . .. ❑ Require all workers on or near traffic to wear high - Activity Area visibility clothing or apparel. ❑ Inspect high -visibility clothing regularly to ensure Speed (mph) Distance (ft.) that color has not faded and that reflective 20 35 properties have not been lost. 25 55 ❑ So that workers do not blend into the background, 30 85 consider seasonal variations in landscape and 35 120 foliage when choosing colors for worker apparel. 40 170 ❑ Consider using fluorescent garments with reflective 45 220 material when working under poor lighting 50 280 conditions. 55 335 60 415 65 485 Developing traffic control plans Once you fully understand the principles of traffic control, you should be able to apply them to any work situation on or near a road and be able to come up with a plan for controlling traffic. But planning doesn't end there — you also need to consider the safe and efficient layout of vehicles, equipment, materials and personnel inside the cones. The "temporary traffic control plan (TCP)" and "internal traffic control plan (ITCP)" are tools that supervisors and crews can use to coordinate the flow of vehicles outside of, or work vehicles, equipment and workers inside of the activity area, respectively. They are formal -sounding names, but in reality they are simply an extension of the work planning/job briefing process to help ensure the safety of workers in or near traffic. Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Develop an internal traffic control plan (ITCP) once the temporary traffic control plan (TCP) has been established. As the ITCP is developed, consider how the workspace fits within the overall work zone and make sure that the ITCP is placed in the context of a TCP. ❑ Furnish schematic drawings depicting cone/sign placement as well as the movement of workers and the placement/movement of equipment and vehicles, brush piles, etc. within the workspace. o Train workers in the implementation of the TCP and ITCP for each project. a Assign one person the overall responsibility of TCP/ITCP coordination for each job site. By being at the job site, the coordinator is able to respond immediately to hazardous situations. The employer should authorize the coordinator to change and/or halt operations as needed to ensure worker safety. 20 ❑ Retain schematic drawings and other documents in the "job file" for use in developing future plans.

Supervisory personnel will be primarily responsible for making an investigation of all accidents in their area. Accidents involving fire, death, serious injury, or extensive property damage will be investigated jointly by the supervisor and upper management. The primary goal of the accident investigation program is the prevention of future accidents through the use of knowledge derived from the investigation. Additionally, the investigation will be used to prepare reports required by Federal and State law as well as the Workers Compensation insurance carrier. These reports are critical in establishing the company's and the supervisor's liability under the law. When an employee is injured at work the supervisor is responsible for taking emergency action to have first aid administered, to obtain professional medical attention as soon as possible, and to protect other employees and equipment. The supervisor must then begin to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The following procedures have been found to be effective when investigating accidents. GO to the scene of the accident at once TALK with the injured person if possible. Talk to witnesses. Stress getting the facts --not placing blame or responsibility. Ask open-ended questions. LISTEN for clues in the conversations around you. Unsolicited comments often have merit ENCOURAGE people to give their ideas for preventing a similar accident. STUDY possible causes --unsafe conditions, unsafe practices. CONFER with interested persons about possible solutions WRITE your accident report giving a complete accurate account of the accident. FOLLOW UP to make sure conditions are corrected. If they cannot be corrected immediately, report this to your supervisor. PUBLICIZE corrective action taken so that all may benefit from the experience. Vehicle Accidents — What to do Make sure your vehicle has a fully stocked accident kit. The kit should contain: o Current vehicle registration ❑ Current proof of vehicle insurance ❑ Several business cards from the owner or manager ❑ Pen and/or pencil ❑ Accident reporting form for your office and insurance company (available through your insurance carrier or agent) ❑ Trailer registration if applicable ❑ Several witness cards Attend to all injured victims. Assess the situation and attend to the most seriously injured first Do not move any victim unless there is danger from other vehicles in traffic or danger of fire or explosion. Do not move the vehicles. The police need to see the accident prior to moving any vehicle(s). 22 Protect the scene of the accident by placing flares, flags, or reflectors where they can be seen by approaching traffic. Physically direct traffic around the accident scene if necessary — do not expose yourself to danger in traffic. If your vehicle is moved, get the name of the person or company that moved it. If it is removed from the scene, find out where it is taken. Conduct your own investigation. Get the names, addresses, phone numbers driver's license numbers, vehicle license numbers, and insurance company(ies) of all person(s) involved; year, make and model of all vehicles involved. Offer the same information about yourself and your vehicle to others involved. Contact the office to let them know what has happened and whether anyone was injured and/or taken to a hospital or emergency treatment. Do not admit fault or discuss the accident with anyone except the office or police. Lockout/Tagout Generic sequence for securing equipment o The authorized person shall notify the crew and/or affected employees that maintenance/repair is to be done and that such equipment must be shut down and secured. ❑ The authorized person shall refer to the manufacturer's manual for proper procedures (as needed). ❑ If equipment is in operation, shut it down by normal procedures. ❑ Keyed ignition systems must be in working order. Keys shall be removed and pocketed by the foreman of mechanic. When there is no keyed ignition system, the battery cables or spark plug wires may be disconnected. ❑ Materials/parts that must be raised or disconnected and suspended shall be properly secured, such as with an appropriate sling or jackstand. Flywheels, such as chipper cutter heads, are to be blocked to prevent pinch points. ❑ Disengage the power take -off before servicing/repairing, such as with hose replacement. Disconnect all hydraulic tools before adjusting or servicing. Do not attempt to stop a hydraulic leak with your body. ❑ Rotating parts, such as chipper blades, shall be stopped before maintenance/repair. ❑ Ensure that equipment is isolated and will not operate before proceeding with maintenance/repair. ❑ When the engine must be running for tuning or adjustment. Special care must be given to moving parts. Restoring equipment to service When maintenance/repair is complete and equipment is ready to return to normal operation, the following steps shall be taken. ❑ Check for loose parts or tools that may have been left in the immediate area to prevent accidental contact with moving or electrical components when the equipment is engaged. ❑ Ensure that all guards are in place and employees are in the clear. ❑ Confirm that controls are in neutral. ❑ Reconnect key, cable or plug wires. ❑ Notify affected employees that equipment is ready to return to service. 23 Aerial Lift Testing Frequent Inspection & Test (daily — monthly intervals) Inspection and tests referred to as critical in the manufacturer's manual must be strictly adhered to. Any suspected items must be carefully examined and a determination made by a qualified person as to whether they constitute a safety hazard. All unsafe items must be replaced or repaired before use. The operator shall perform the following tests and inspections once daily, prior to first use: ❑ Operating controls and associated mechanisms for conditions interfering with proper operation ❑ Visual and audible safety devices for malfunction ❑ Hydraulic or pneumatic systems for observable deterioration or excessive leakage ❑ Fiberglass and other insulating components for visible damage or contamination ❑ Missing or illegible operational markings ❑ Electrical apparatus for malfunction, signs or excessive deterioration, dirt, and moisture accumulation Periodic Inspection and Test (1-12 month intervals) An inspection of the mobile unit must be performed at six to twelve-month intervals, depending upon its activity, severity of service, and environment or as specifically indicated below. This inspection needs to include all the items from the frequent inspection list, plus: ❑ Structural members for deformation, cracks or corrosion ❑ Parts, such as pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers, locking devices, chains, chain sprockets, wire ropes, and -sheaves for wear, cracks or distortion ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic relief valve settings ❑ Hydraulic system for proper oil level ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, hoses, and tubing for evidence of leakage, abnormal deformation, or excessive abrasion ❑ Compressors, pumps, motors and generators for loose fasteners, leaks, unusual noises or vibrations, loss of operating speed, and excessive heating ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic valves for malfunction and visible cracks in the external valve housing, leaks, and sticking spools ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and holding valves for malfunction and visible damage ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic filters for cleanliness and the presence of foreign material in the system indicating other component deterioration ❑ Electrical systems and components for deterioration or wear including those not readily visible on a frequent inspection ❑ Performance test of all boom movements ❑ Condition and tightness of bolts and other fasteners ❑ Welds, as specified by the manufacturer ❑ Legible and proper markings of controls, ratings, and instructions ❑ Any suspected items shall be carefully examined and a determination in de by a qualified person as to whether they constitute a safety hazard. All unsafe items shall be replaced or repaired before use. 24 Crane Inspection The two general classifications are "frequent" and "periodic." ➢ Frequent inspection: Daily to monthly intervals. ➢ Periodic inspection: 1- to 12 -month intervals, or as specifically recommended by the manufacturer. The operator should check the following items daily: ❑ All control mechanisms for maladjustment interfering with proper operation ❑ Deterioration or leakage in air or hydraulic systems ❑ All safety devices for malfunction The following items should be checked weekly or monthly, depending on how much the crane is used: ❑ All control mechanisms for excessive wear of components and contamination by lubricants or other foreign matter. ❑ Crane hooks, for deformations or cracks. For hooks with cracks or having more than 15 percent in excess of normal throat opening or more than 10° 551twist from the plane of the unbent hook. ❑ Rope reeving for noncompliance with manufacturer's recommendations. ❑ Electrical apparatus for malfunctioning, signs of excessive deterioration, dirt, and moisture accumulation. Complete inspections of the crane must be performed at periodic intervals depending upon its activity, severity of service, and environment or as specifically indicated below. These inspections have to include all "frequent" inspection items and in addition, items such as the following: ❑ Deformed, cracked, or corroded members in the crane structure and boom ❑ Loose bolts or rivets ❑ Cracked or worn sheaves and drums ❑ Worn, cracked, or distorted parts such as pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers and locking devices ❑ Excessive wear on brake and clutch system parts, linings, pawls, and ratchets ❑ Load, boom angle, and other indicators over their full range, for any significant inaccuracies ❑ Gasoline, diesel, electric, or other power plants for improper performance or noncompliance with safety requirements ❑ Excessive wear of chain -drive sprockets and excessive chain stretch ❑ Travel steering, braking, and locking devices, for malfunction ❑ Excessively worn or damaged tires ❑ All wire ropes (see below) A carbon dioxide, dry chemical or equivalent fire extinguisher has to be kept in the cab or vicinity of the crane. Since it stays with the crane, it too should be periodically checked to be sure that it is fully charged and functional. A crane that has been idle for a period of one to six months has to go through the frequent inspection checklist of daily/weekly/monthly items before placing in service. A crane that has been idle for six months or more has to be given a complete inspection comprised of frequent as well as periodic inspection items before being placed in service. 25 Certification records must be updated monthly for critical items in use such as brakes, crane hooks, and ropes. They must show the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and the serial number or other identifier of the crane that was inspected. This certification record must be kept readily available, so it is advisable to keep a copy in the crane at all times. Wire rope & sling inspection A thorough inspection of all running ropes in use must be made at least once a month and a certification record which includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and an identifier for the ropes must be prepared and kept on file where readily available. An appointed or authorized person must perform all inspections. If rope deterioration is noted that may result in appreciable loss of the rope's original strength, the inspector needs to determine whether further use of the rope would constitute a safety hazard. Some of the conditions that could result in an appreciable loss of strength are the following: ❑ Reduction of rope diameter below nominal diameter due to loss of core support, internal or external corrosion, or wear of outside wires. ❑ A number of broken outside wires and the degree of distribution of concentration of such broken wires. ❑ Worn outside wires. ❑ Corroded or broken wires at end connections. ❑ Corroded, cracked, bent, worn, or improperly applied end connections. ❑ Severe kinking, crushing, cutting, or un -stranding. On other ropes, heavy wear and/or broken wires may occur in sections in contact with equalizer sheaves or other sheaves where rope travel is limited, or with saddles. Particular care shall be taken to inspect ropes at these locations. All rope that has been idle for a period of a month or more due to shutdown or storage of a crane on which it is installed must be given a thorough inspection before it is used. A certification record that includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection, and an identifier for the rope that was inspected shall be prepared and kept readily available. Particular care shall be taken in the inspection of non -rotating rope. Slings shall be inspected for damage or defect daily before use by a qualified person. 26 Safety Program Table of Contents Safety Policy Employer Information.................................................................................1 Foreword.............................................................................................................................1 Company Safety Guiding Principles................................................................................. 1 Safety — Assigned Responsibilities.................................................................................. 2 ANSI Z133 Standard & Employee Understanding............................................................ 3 SafetyRules........................................................................................................................4 TheSafety Committee........................................................................................................ 5 Shop/Material Handling Safety Guidelines....................................................................... 6 EmergencyAction Plan..................................................................................................... 6 FireEmergency Plan..........................................................................................................7 HazardCommunication..................................................................................................... 8 Drug/Alcohol Free Workplace........................................................................................... 9 Hazard assessment for personal protective equipment...............................................10 BackInjury Prevention..................................................................................................... 12 DisciplinaryProcedures..................................................................................................13 Specific Operational Procedures & Safety Guidelines..................................................14 Driver Standard Operating Procedures & Safety Guidelines.......................................15 Vehicle post -trip inspections/reporting..........................................................................16 WorkZone Setup..............................................................................................................17 AccidentInvestigation..................................................................................................... 22 Vehicle Accidents — What to do...................................................................................... 22 Lockout/Tagout................................................................................................................. 23 AerialLift Testing............................................................................................................. 24 CraneInspection.............................................................................................................. 25 It Safety Policy Employer Information ADDRESS: 2200 NW 23rd Avenue CITY: Miami STATE: Florida ZIP: 33142 TELEPHONE NUMBER: (305) 634-0717 TYPE OF BUSINESS: Landscape Contractor MAIN ACTIVITIES: LANDSCAPE & IRRIGATION DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE, ARBOR SERVICES, PESTICIDE AND FERTILIZATION Foreword These policies of Superior Landscaping represent general guidelines.

Company Safety Guiding Principles To All Employees: The following policies of Superior Landscaping are not inflexible rules or requirements. They may be changed by the Company at any time without notice or modified as individual circumstances may require in the best interests of efficient management of the Company. Nothing in the policies as they now exist, or may in the future be revised, is intended or should be construed as a contract of employment, express or implied, nor as a promise of employment for a specific period of time, nor as a requirement that any specific procedure be followed in handling personnel issues. Company management will provide safe and healthy working conditions. All employees must follow safe practices at all times. All employees must accept and follow all rules of safety. Whenever an employee finds an unsafe condition they must report it immediately to their supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Any injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, is to be reported to management as soon as possible. In no circumstance except an emergency, should an employee leave a shift without reporting an injury that occurred. All employees including office personnel will be trained in safe practices. The training will be done by video or by training from the employees' supervisor. If the employee is observed using an unsafe practice, he or she will receive a written violation warning. Once the employee receives three (3) written warnings, he or she will be automatically suspended for one (1) workday without pay. Superior Landscaping will make every effort to maintain safe working conditions. However, the principal responsibility for safety falls upon you, the employee! All employees are asked to inform their supervisor, safety committee personnel, or management of any work hazards of which they might be aware. Superior Landscaping will arrange for you to supply information anonymously if you do not wish to be identified. No employee should fear reprisal for notifying management of any safety hazards. In fact, we encourage all employees to inform us immediately of any hazard, no matter how small it may seem. All safety and health suggestions that we receive will be reviewed. We will then determine what action is necessary. All suggestions shall receive a response. The injured employee's supervisor or someone from management will investigate all occupational injuries and illnesses that are job-related. Particular attention will be given to methods to prevent future situations that caused the injury or illness. All employees will receive prompt and timely safety training. Safety rules and safe practices will be emphasized at these training sessions. All new employees will receive a copy of the summary, to be signed and put in their file, indicating that they have been trained at the beginning of employment. Any employee given a new job assignment, for which training has not previously been received, will be trained in that particular job immediately. Records will be kept of all training provided. These records will indicate the type of training given, date, the name of the training provider and the employee's signature. Safety — Assigned Responsibilities Manager In effectively executing their safety responsibilities, managers will: ❑ Familiarize themselves with the safety program and ensure its effective implementation. ❑ Be aware of all safety considerations when introducing a new process, procedure, machine or material to the workplace. ❑ Give maximum support to all programs and committees whose function is to promote safety and health. ❑ Actively participate in safety activities as required. ❑ Review serious accidents to ensure that proper reports are completed, and appropriate action is taken to prevent recurrences. Supervisors Their responsibilities are to: ❑ Familiarize themselves with company safety policies, programs and procedures. ❑ Provide appropriate safety training to employees prior to the assignment of duties. ❑ Consistently and fairly enforce all company safety rules. ❑ Investigate injuries to determine cause, then take action to prevent recurrence. ❑ See that all injuries, no matter how minor, are treated immediately and referred to the front office to ensure prompt reporting to the insurance carrier. ❑ Inspect work areas often to detect unsafe conditions and work practices. Use company self - inspection checklists as required. All Employees Employee responsibilities for safety include the following: ❑ Adhere to all safety rules and regulations. ❑ Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as required. ❑ Maintain equipment in good condition, with all safety guards in place when in operation. ❑ Report all injuries and near misses, no matter how minor, immediately to their supervisor, safety personnel or management. ❑ Encourage coworkers to work safely. ❑ Report unsafe acts and conditions to their supervisor, safety personnel, or management. ANSI Z133 Standard & Employee Understanding As an employee of Superior Landscaping & Lawn Service, Inc., you need to review and understand the requirements of the ANSI Z133.1-2000 Standard. You need to understand that the Z133 Standard was developed by arborists, for arborists under the standards -developing procedures created by the American National Standards Institute, creating what this industry's safety experts feel are the minimum acceptable standards of practice for safety in arboriculture. It represents the collective wisdom and experience of countless arborists. You need to realize that this or any standard cannot cover every situation. For instance, the Z133 Standard states that specialized practices or personnel emergencies may require modification of standard requirements, and that it is not intended to limit the options available to you in either of those situations. You should not expect to have to deviate from the Standard's requirements, but if you do, you will have to be able to justify your actions. You need to understand the difference between "Should" and "Shall" as they are used in the standard. The word "Should" indicates an advisory statement where it is feasible that the actions you take might be different from the prescribed practice. A "Shall" indicates a mandatory requirement, where it is inconceivable that your actions would have to deviate from the prescribed practice, except where exceptions are noted in the Standard. Finally, you need to understand that the Z133 Standard does not take precedence over, or take the place of, the safe work policies of Superior Landscaping Safety Rules For the protection and safety of all employees, Superior Landscaping has established the following rules designed to prevent accidents and injuries. Compliance with these rules is mandatory. Documentation will be made when the rules are distributed to new employees. Proper footwear and clothing will be worn at all times. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or keep long hair in a down position. There is a danger of catching such articles in moving machinery. Horseplay, running, fighting or any activity that may result in injury or waste will not be tolerated. Appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, will be worn for the task(s) at hand, as specified by training and job briefing(s). Operate machinery with all guards in place. Tampering with safety devices is cause for immediate disciplinary action. Do not operate any machine you are not familiar with or have not been trained on and authorized to use. Machines must never be_cleaned, adjusted or repaired until the machine_is turned off_ the -circuit -is interrupted at the power source (including lock -out) and a warning tag is placed at the controls. Each person involved in maintenance must use his own personal padlock to ensure total lack of power until all work has been completed. Any defects in materials, machinery, tools and equipment must be reported immediately to a supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Do not leave tools, materials, or other objects on the floor that might cause others to trip and fall. Do not block exits, fire doors, aisles, fire extinguishers, gas meters, electrical panels or traffic lanes. Avoid injury by attempting to lift or push excessive loads. If an object is too heavy to move without strain, ASK FOR HELP. Observe the correct posture for lifting. Stand with your feet slightly apart, assume a squatting position with knees bent, and tuck your chin into your chest. Tilt head forward, grasp the load with both hands, and gradually push up with your legs, keeping your back straight and avoiding any abrupt movement. Do not distract others while working. When approaching a coworker for any purpose, do so from the front or the side in a way that they will see you coming and will not be startled or surprised. If conversation is necessary, first make sure that it is safe. Do not allow oil, water or any other material to remain on the floor for long periods of time where you or others may slip. Report any slip and fall problems to your supervisor. Comment [Nil: This requirement, as it is worded, would be difficult to apply to a chipper, and actually exceed OSHA requirements. I suggest the following, excerpted from the ANSI Z133.1-2001 Standard: Sequence for securing equipment 1.The authorized person shall notify the crew and/or affected employees that maintenance/repair is to be done and that such equipment must be shut down and secured. 2.The authorized person shall refer to the manufacturer's manual for proper procedures (as needed). 3.If equipment is in an operational mode, shut it down by normal procedures. 4.Keyed ignition systems must be in working order. Keys shall be removed and pocketed by the foreman of mechanic. When there is no keyed ignition system, the battery cables or spark plug wires may be disconnected. 5.Materials/parts that must be raised or disconnected and suspended shall be properly secured, such as with an appropriate sling or jackstand. Flywheels, such as chipper cutter heads, are to be blocked to prevent pinch points. 6.Disengagethe power take -off before servicing/repairing, such as with hose replacement. Disconnect all hydraulic tools before adjusting or servicing. Do not attempt to stop a hydraulic leak with your body. 7.Rotating parts, such as chipper blades, shall be stopped before maintenance/repair. 8.Ensure that equipment is isolated and will not operate before proceeding with maintenance/repair. 9. When the engine must be running for tuning or adjustment. Special care must be given to moving parts. Restoring equipment to service When maintenance/repair is complete and equipment is ready to return to normal operation, the following steps shall be taken. I.Check for loose parts or tools that may have been left in the immediate area to prevent accidental contact with moving or electrical components when the equipment is engaged. 2.Ensure that all guards are in place and employees are in the clear. 3.Confirm that controls are in neutral. 4.Reconnect key, cable or plug wires. Notify affected employees that equipment is ready to return to service. When handling hazardous materials, be sure to follow prescribed safety procedures and use required safety equipment. When using secondary containers filled by others, be sure they are labeled as to their contents and hazards. Know your Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) and where they are located. Review them often. Use appropriate gloves when handling materials with sharp or jagged edges, when handling chemicals, when handling hot material, or to protect your hands in general. Do not attempt to operate machinery for which you are not trained. Unnecessary and excessive haste is the cause for many accidents. Exercise caution at all times. All work related injuries and accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately to your supervisor, safety personnel, or management. Employees should be understand and comply with all sections of the ANSI Z133.1 Standard that apply to their job activities. All employees must be thoroughly familiar with these basic safety rules. Failure to comply with safety rules or procedures, or failure to wear the appropriate safety equipment, will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. The Safety Committee The Safety Director will be responsible for the formation of a Safety Committee and will direct the activity by establishing and maintaining a functional accident prevention program. The program should be designed to eliminate workplace hazards and protect workers at all levels. Objective The Safety Committee shall assist the Safety Director in the development and implementation of an aggressive accident prevention program. The individual experience, unique training, and the specialized training of the committee members should guide the program development process. Membership The size of the safety committee will vary with the size of the business and should be large enough to accomplish the goals and work together effectively. Typically, membership should include the Safety Director, the Production Manager or Department Supervisor, and an employee of each of the trades or departments within the company. Procedures The safety committee will meet on a monthly basis, with minutes held (see form below). The minutes are to be distributed to all committee members, the location General Manager and all Department Heads. Recommendations should be classified as administrative or operational, and further identified by the month submitted and a number. They should be tracked and those not completed should be entered into the minutes of the current meeting, with a specific plan or outline for resolution. Shop/Material Handling Safety Guidelines ❑ Employees must keep floors clean, dry, and free of oil, water or other liquids. ❑ Employees shall not lift any more than one object at a time. ❑ Proper lifting techniques shall be used (back injury prevention training is required for employees in this job safety class). ❑ Employees operating mechanical material handling equipment must be qualified by training and authorized by the area supervisor to do so. ❑ Employees must wear appropriate footwear. No tennis shoes (sneakers) allowed. Emergency Action Plan The following details the organizational structure of our plan and outlines emergency measures to be taken in the event of fire or other emergency. Remember, your conduct and actions during the first few minutes of any emergency may not only save your life, but the lives of your fellow workers and other members of the community as well. General Information Two important telephone calls need to be made if the facility is to be evacuated because of a fire or disaster within the facility, or an external hazardous condition threatening the facility. If either of these two situations occur, notify 911 (Emergency Medical Services and Police). Upon order of management or other person(s) in charge to totally evacuate the facility, the company will initiate evacuation center receiving plan. It may be necessary to transport company personnel to a local evacuation center. Priority of evacuation may be a necessity if there are handicapped employees. Materials and supplies to be evacuated include, but may not be limited to, first aid kits, the MSDS binder and the personnel roster. Responsibilities The Safety Director will: ❑ Coordinate the Emergency Evacuation Plan throughout the facility. o Make certain the Program is familiar to all personnel and that all new employees are promptly oriented. ❑ Schedule education as necessary The Safety Director will be aided by the Supervisors who will: ❑ Facilitate the Emergency Evacuation Plan. o Keep contact check on all personnel to be sure that they are completely familiar with all phases of the Plan that they are required to know. ❑ See that personnel participate in awareness training, fire classes, and other practices sessions as necessary. ❑ Be certain that all personnel are familiar with fire extinguishers, and make thorough fire prevention inspections when they are assigned to do so. ❑ Take the necessary steps required to correct any fire hazards discovered. It is the duty of every employee to: ❑ Be completely familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Plan and their duties or responsibilities in the program ❑ Participate in all fire drills and practice sessions. ❑ Attend all fire training classes when assigned. ❑ Learn the location of and how to operate fire alarm systems and all fire extinguishing equipment. ❑ Report any fire and/or safety hazard located any place on company property. Fire Emergency Plan Keep Calm ... Report all fires and smoke Personnel have been assigned to: ❑ Sound the internal fire alarm ❑ Notify office staff ❑ Remove personnel from the building ❑ Close all doors and windows in the fire area --ONLY if this can be done safely ❑ Notify the fire department The person reporting the fire to the fire department will provide them with the following information: ❑ Superior Landscaping & Lawn Service, Inc. ❑ 2200 NW 23`d Avenue, Miami, FL 33142 ❑ What is burning (machines, paper, etc.) ❑ Location of fire (roof, plant, office, etc.) ❑ Type of fire (electrical, liquid, etc.) Additional assignments have been made to attempt to extinguish fire with the use of on -premises equipment (extinguishers, hoses, etc.). A minimum of two persons is required to fight a fire. To ensure employee safety, this is to be done only during the early stages of the fire. Working away from the involved area, personnel will be assigned to: ❑ Clear the aisles, hallways and other areas of personnel and visitors ❑ Close all doors and windows ❑ Check driveways to see that they are clear for entry of fire fighting equipment ❑ Wait at the front entrance for the arrival of fire fighting equipment. Direct the firemen to the fire if necessary. Re-entry onto the property will not be permitted until it is declared safe to do so by management, or by the local fire/law enforcement officials. Hazard Communication Name of Contact Person: Title: Hazard Evaluation Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to review the available scientific evidence concerning the hazards of the chemicals they produce, then report that information to employees who purchase their product. In most cases, Superior Landscaping will choose to rely on the evaluations performed by our suppliers. If for some reason we do not trust the evaluation of the manufacturer, we will arrange for additional testing. We will consider the following chemicals used in our business to be hazardous: 1. 7. 2. 8. 3. 9. 4. 10. 5. 11. 6. 12. Labels & Other Forms of Warning We will make certain that containers are adequately labeled to identify the hazardous chemicals they contain and will show hazard warnings appropriate for your protection. The warnings will use a combination of words, pictures and symbols that will communicate the hazards of the chemical(s) in the container. The labels will be legible and prominently displayed. Our training program will include instruction on how to read and interpret label information. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: We are permitted to post signs that convey the hazard information if there are a number of stationary containers in a given area, which have similar contents and hazards. We are not required to label portable containers, as long as the transferred chemical is for immediate use by the employee who made the transfer. We are not required to label pipes or piping systems. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) The management of Superior Landscaping is responsible for obtaining or developing an MSDS for each chemical used in the workplace. Each MSDS will include the specific chemical identity of the chemical involved and the common names. Each data sheet will provide information on the physical and chemical characteristics of the chemical; known acute and chronic health effects and related health information; exposure limits; whether the chemical is considered to be a carcinogen; precautionary measures; emergency and first aid procedures; and the identification of the organization responsible for preparing the sheet, how to store the chemical, and how to transport the chemical. An assigned person or persons will be responsible for maintaining the MSDS's describing chemicals used in his/her department and for keeping them readily available to employees. Our training program will include instructions on how to read and interpret information on an MSDS, and how you can obtain and use the available hazard information. Employee Training It is the goal of Superior Landscaping to provide hazard communication training during the first 30 days of employment and whenever a new chemical is introduced to a given work area. Training will be done in a meeting setting and will be conducted by the Program Coordinator or another who has been properly trained. The training program will consist of ❑ How the hazard communication program is implemented, how to read and interpret information on labels and MSDS, and how employees can obtain and use the available hazard information. ❑ The hazards of chemicals to which employees are exposed in the work area. ❑ Measures employees can take to protect themselves from the hazards ❑ Specific procedures put into effect by the company to provide protection, such as personal protective equipment, mechanical guards, or protective processes. ❑ Methods that you can use, such as visual appearance or smell, to detect presence of hazardous chemicals to which you or your co-workers may be exposed. ❑ Name and/or job title of who you can go to if you have questions. Drug/Alcohol Free Workplace It is the policy of Superior Landscaping that its employees are free from alcohol and controlled substances to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Being fit for duty is a condition of employment for each employee. To that end, our drug/alcohol free workplace program includes drug and alcohol testing, education and training, prevention and intervention, and an Employee Assistance Program for the treatment of alcohol and/or drug abuse. In addition, the following rules apply: ■ Superior Landscaping will not hire individuals who test positive for alcohol or illegally used controlled substances. ■ Employees may not use, possess, sell, manufacture or distribute ille al drugs while performing Company business, while in a Company-owned vehicle or while on Company property. ■ Employees are prohibited from using, possessing or selling alcohol or products that contain alcohol while performing Company business, while in a Company-owned vehicle or while on Company property. (Optional language: Exceptions to this rule regarding alcohol may be made for certain company sponsored social functions, only if authorized by the President of the company or his designee.) ■ The Company reserves the right to inspect Company vehicles and/or property at any time and for any reason, whether locked or otherwise, and to inspect personal property while located in a Company vehicle or on Company property, or at any site where employees may be sent on Company business. ■ Employees who are convicted of a drug related offense would be considered in violation of this policy. In addition, employees who are convicted of a drug-related offense or a felony alcohol offense must report such convictions to their Supervisor within five days of the conviction. Employees using prescription or over-the-counter drugs are responsible for their side effects and precautions which may affect their ability to perform their job. Employees using these products should consult their doctor before doing so. Sharing prescription drugs is in violation of both our Company policy and Federal law. Only the person to whom a drug is prescribed is allowed to take that drug. Employees who share their own prescription, take another person's prescription, and/or test positive for a prescription drug and who cannot validate that. prescription for that drug will be considered in violation of this policy. Individuals found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including possible termination of employment, even for a first offense.

Other hazards that apply to some/all of the above tasks: Drug Use and/or Alcohol Abuse; Fatigue; Fire; Lyme Disease; Poisonous Plants; Violent Workers/Customers; Weather. 11 Back Injury Prevention Causes of back injury Pulling, twisting, and slipping are the most common causes of back injuries. Lifting objects improperly can also hurt the back. Lifting with the back and not the legs, lifting from an awkward position, or trying to move material too large for one person can lead to injury. Even simple movements can cause back injury. Stepping from a truck, bending over for a small tool, or over -reaching can strain back muscles. Table 1 below ranks the most frequent causes of back injury in tree care in descending order. Muscle strains and sprains — soft tissue injuries - cause most arborists' back problems. These are temporary injuries. More important, strains and sprains usually precede more serious, chronic and debilitating injuries to the ligaments, discs and vertebrae. In a sense, soft tissue injuries are warning signals that more serious, permanent injury could occur. Therefore your back injury prevention program should focus on preventing strains and sprains. Preventive measures Arborists can keep their backs healthy with stretching and exercise, by knowing how the back works, and by using simple lifting techniques. Here are attainable objectives for your company's back injury prevention program: Lifting... large objects irregularly-shaped objects over the shoulder Twisting .. . while feeding brush into a chipper while positioning in a bucket or a tree while dragging brush, reaching, using long poles from sudden slips due to poor ground conditions on slippery equipment in snow or rain Jumping... off truck bed or out of truck cab over fences off ladders out of trees Pulling... ropes hangers trees. on removals Provide continuous training for all employees to raise their awareness of how the back can be injured. Develop action steps employees can use to detect and eliminate conditions likely to cause back injury — see this program's sections on hazard reporting (16), safety committees (23), job hazard assessment (15) and job briefings (17). Motivate employees to take responsibility for back safety at work and at home. 12 The following procedures are taken from Annex C of the ANSI Z133 Standard: Before lifting any weight: (a) Be sure clear the travel path available if the weight is to be carried from one place to another. (b) Decide exactly how the object should be grasped to avoid sharp edges, slivers, splinters, or other things that might cause injury. (c) Make a preliminary lift to be sure the load can be safely handled. (d) Place feet solidly on the walking surface. (e) Crouch as close to the load as possible with legs bent at an angle of about 90 degrees. (f) Keep back as straight as possible. It may be far from vertical but should not be arched. (g) Lift with the legs, not the back, keeping the weight as close to the body as possible. (h) Use a second worker when necessary. Stretching and exercises The professional athlete must maintain a high level of production and effort to win. The same is true for an employee, who must perform at peak efficiency. Strains of the lower back muscles, the most common back injury, usually occur because the muscles are cold and tight. If the athlete warms up and stretches to avoid injury, then why not the worker? Superior Landscaping will provide you with information on simple, quick warm-up/stretches that you can perform prior to heavy exertion. Disciplinary Procedures Employees who fail to comply with safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Supervisors will follow the normal disciplinary procedures as follows: 1. Verbal counseling - must be documented in the employee's personnel file. 2. Written warning - outlining nature of offense and necessary corrective action. 3. Suspension without pay - one (1) working day without pay - the third step or a separate disciplinary action resulting from a serious violation. 13 4. Termination - if an employee is to be terminated, specific and documented communication between the supervisor and the employee must occur. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action for the following reasons: ■ Repeated safety rule violation by their department employees. ■ Failure to provide adequate training prior to job assignment. ■ Failure to report accidents and provide medical attention to employees injured at work. ■ Failure to control unsafe conditions or work practices. ■ Failure to maintain good housekeeping standards and cleanliness in their departments. Supervisors who fail to maintain high standards of safety within their departments will be demoted or terminated after three documented warnings have been levied during any calendar year. Specific Operational Procedures & Safety Guidelines Cosmetic appearance of trucks and equipment is in the strictest sense a maintenance function that is overlooked all too often. However, it is something that must be followed on a continuing basis to keep it in check. Stump Grinder ❑ Check all moving parts and hoses before operations ❑ Stand clear of stump when grinding ❑ Keep restraining curtain in place, turn motor off and be sure grinding wheel is prevented from turning when servicing or adjusting ❑ Do not move from operating position until grinding wheel has stopped turning ❑ Observe all operating procedures as posted ❑ When transporting, secure with load binders at all times ❑ PPE (ear protection, mask and hardhat) must be worn Truck ❑ Perform pre -trip inspection before operations and post -trip inspection after operations ❑ Report any problems immediately to your supervisors ❑ Maintain maintenance log at all times ❑ PPE as directed (head protection, hands, eye protection) must be worn ❑ Check chainsaw for fuel and oil before using and removing from truck ❑ Chock wheels when parking and set brake Chipper ❑ Make sure all safety devices are functional before operating ❑ Observe lockout procedures when changing knives 14 Techniques for fewer problems with the chipper ❑ Always let chipper warm up for 3 minutes. ❑ Have up to high rpm before feeding heavy sticks. ❑ If unit lugs, pull remaining branches back and redo at higher rpm. ❑ Push material in with another stick. ❑ Ease in clutch at low rpm ❑ Pull chipper with tongue extended to maximum length. ❑ Conditions may vary but keep chipper as level as possible when operating. ❑ Always have a second crewmember directing when backing the chipper. ❑ Keep knives in matched sets for best balance. ❑ Do not start machine with debris in place ❑ Don't put hands past the rear plane of the infeed hopper into feed wheel area ❑ <If applicable> Keep hands off of winch cable when pulling logs or debris ❑ Chock wheels on chipper anytime it is disconnected from the truck Aerial Lifts ❑ Chock wheels, set hand brake ❑ Lower outriggers and make secure ❑ Visually inspect all cables and hoses before operation ❑ Secure safety belt lanyard to bucket or boom ❑ Do not operate within 10 feet of power lines unless specifically trained and authorized to do so Splitter ❑ Check hoses and hydraulic fluid levels before operation ❑ Wear PPE when operating ❑ Keep hands away from blade and during operation ❑ Follow lock -out procedures before fixing jams ❑ Turn engine off to refuel ❑ Block wheels on level ground before operating Ladders a Get help with very long or heavy ladders. ❑ Make sure there are no power lines or branches that are low enough to interfere. ❑ Make sure the ladder has firm, level footing. Do not shim with multiple boards or blocks. ❑ For a straight or extension ladder set the base out one foot for every four feet of height. ❑ The ladder should be tall enough that you do not have to stand on the top three rungs. ❑ Long or light metal ladders should be tied off or otherwise secured at the top. a Two hands should be used when climbing a ladder. ❑ If electrical lines are present, use only a nonconductive ladder. Driver Standard Operating Procedures & Safety Guidelines Keep your vehicle presentable, and drive in a safe and courteous manner. The company's image is presented each time you drive our vehicle. Inspect motorized vehicles and other mechanical equipment daily or prior to use per the pre -trip inspection checklist. No smoking during refueling. Turn engine off to refuel. You are not permitted to operate the company vehicle out of the Superior Landscaping radius of operations without specific authorization from your supervisor. 15 Company vehicles are to be used only by approved company drivers. No riders or non-employee passengers are permitted. The company vehicle is to be used exclusively for company business -- no personal use is permitted. As the driver you are responsible for all co-workers. All seat belts must be worn at all times. Report mechanical problems to your supervisor immediately. Do not operate a vehicle that is unsafe. Report all accidents and traffic infractions to your supervisor. Anyone operating a company vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance will be terminated. Shut off engine, set brakes, and block wheels when parked, before loading or unloading vehicles, and before beginning on-site work. This includes trucks, equipment, and aerial lift devices. Any vehicle found to be defective shall be removed from service until properly repaired. All vehicles and equipment shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Outriggers and wheel chocks shall be in place before operating vehicle - mounted equipment. Brakes shall be properly set. In the event of traffic around the work site, proper traffic control procedures will be in effect. Vehicle post -trip inspections/reporting Using the inspection report form Pre -Trip Inspection: Review the last Post -Trip Inspection Report to determine if defects or deficiencies were reported by prior driver(s). If defects were reported, be sure necessary repairs have been made and the person responsible for making the repairs has signed and dated the report in the space (maintenance action) provided. Sign and date in the space provided for "Reviewing driver" to acknowledge that the report was reviewed and defects, if any, were corrected. Post -Trip Inspection: 1. Enter truck number, current mileage and other applicable information in the space provided at top. Press hard, there are two copies. Also enter chipper or other towed equipment number, if applicable, in the space provided. 2. Complete the inspection at completion of the day's work. Check appropriate box(s) to indicate defect(s). If you find a defect that is not listed, enter it in comment section. 3. If no defects are noted, check NO DEFECTS. 4. Sign and date in space provided to certify inspection. 5. Remove the office copy and distribute as instructed. 6. The truck copy of the inspection report must be carried on the truck at all times. 16 Report Retention The original copy of each truck inspection report and the certification of repairs must be retained for at least three (3) months from the date the report was prepared. Important Before attempting maintenance on any chipper, read and follow the manufacturer's recommendations Work Zone Setup Controlling Traffic Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Use temporary traffic control devices, such as signage, road cones, paddles or flags in a consistent manner throughout the work zone. ❑ Use a flagger or flaggers when conditions warrant. ❑ Set up temporary traffic control within a reasonable time prior to work so that motorists do not become complacent and ignore warning signs and devices when work begins. ❑ Ensure that all traffic control devices are in place. Missing traffic control devices create the potential for motorists to inadvertently enter the workspace or exit the highway in the wrong place. Injury Prevention Measures - Work zone layout Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Assign a crewmember who is knowledgeable in traffic control principles overall responsibility for the safety of the work zone setup. ❑ Ensure that the work zone is set up in accordance with the Millennium Edition of the MUTCD. ❑ Authorize the designated crewmember to temporarily halt work until unsafe conditions related to temporary traffic control have been eliminated. ❑ Document work zone setup and changes throughout the course of a project. Retain these records in a "job file" as a reference for future jobs. Use of temporary traffic control devices Most temporary traffic control zones are divided into four areas: the advance warning area, the transition area, the activity area and the termination area: Advance warning area — section of road where drivers are warned about the upcoming work zone. Warning has to be far enough in advance of the work to give drivers time to react, yet not so far that it encourages drivers to ignore the warning or react sluggishly. On urban streets, the first warning sign should placed 4-8 times the speed limit (mph) in feet before the activity area, using the high end of the range when the speed limits are relatively high. On rural highways, it should be 8-12 times the speed limit in advance. 17 Warning sign size is based on speed limits: • On secondary roads or city streets where speeds are very low, minimum 36 -inch signs are acceptable. • Where speeds and volumes are moderately low, 36 -inch signs may be used, 48 -inch are recommended • For high speed/volume roads, 48 -inch signs are needed. EXAMPLE: On a 25 mph street, warning sign should be at least 25 X 5 = 125 ft. before the activity area. On a 45 mph street, the sign might be 45 X 8 = 360 ft. "upstream." When your work obstructs any part of the roadway, advance -warning signs are required in both traffic directions on a two-way road. Multiple signs may be needed on high-speed roads or where visibility is obstructed by something like a bend or hump in the road. Transition area — the section of road where traffic is redirected out of its normal path. The transition area makes use of a "taper," created with cones. A good rule of thumb is to space cones the same number of feet apart as the speed limit. For daytime work and low speed (40 mph and under) roads, 18 -inch cones are acceptable. For nighttime and/or higher speed roads, 28 -inch cones are required. Taper length is important. Table 1 below gives rule -of -thumb taper lengths, based on the width of the work zone (W), in feet. Table 1: Traffic Taper Length, based on Width of Offset (W) Type of taper Seed limit (mph) 15 125 35 40 45 55 65 merging 4W 110W 20W 27W 45W 55W 65W Shifting 2W 15W low 13W 123W 28W 33W shoulder 1W 13W 7W 9W 115W 18W 21W one -lane, two-way 100 ft. maximum, flaggers required downstream 1100 ft. per lane Activity area — this is the section where the work actually takes place. It should include a buffer space, sort of an extension of the work area in the direction of oncoming traffic (longitudinally) or extending past the side of the work vehicle (laterally), but free of equipment, vehicles and material. Termination area — is used to return vehicles to their normal path downstream of the work. In rural areas, there are generally higher speed limits, less turning traffic, lower volumes of traffic and fewer pedestrians. Urban areas are usually just the opposite. Your crew must evaluate the location, decide which controls are to be used, and see that a plan is followed. Your goals are to create a safe and efficient work site for your crew and passersby, to hinder traffic as little as possible and to guide vehicles and pedestrians in a clear and positive manner. Action steps for work site set-up: ❑ keep equipment and material neat and orderly within the protected area Orange Flag (optional) 0.3 m (1 ft) MIN. "+ T Typical warning sign ❑ use the truck s four-way flashers and eacon tg t, f so equipped, while you're setting up the signs and cones ❑ always chock trucks or detached chippers with at least two chocks ❑ be especially careful whenever children are in the vicinity 18 o never venture outside the established work area in the roadway ❑ keep walkways as clear of debris as possible a do not allow any non -company vehicle to park so that it obscures visibility of your work site Flaggers When your work operation requires traffic from both directions to use a single lane for a limited distance, then a flagger or flaggers are required. Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Train all flaggers consistent with their level of responsibility and work zone conditions. Flaggers should know the traffic flow, the work zone setup, and proper placement of channelizing devices. ❑ Assign each flagger responsibility for monitoring operations in his or her immediate work area. Authorize flaggers to recommend to the traffic control supervisor that operations be temporarily halted and the hazard corrected when they see a hazard threatening the safe movement of traffic through the work zone. Authorize flaggers to halt operations in the event a hazard arises and the traffic control supervisor is not in the immediate area. ❑ Train flaggers to maintain sufficient distance from other workers so that passing motorists can identify them. ❑ In the event multiple flaggers are required, ensure they have the appropriate sight distance or two-way radios to communicate effectively. ❑ Use alternatives to flaggers when traffic control is required under hazardous conditions such as high traffic speeds, inclement weather, night work, and other conditions that limit visibility. When a one -lane, two-way traffic control zone is short enough to allow a flagger to see Proper Flagger Techniques & Equipment PREFERRED METHOD EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ONLY STOP/SLOW Paddle Red Flag 450mm(18 in) MIN I"I 900 mm (36 in) 600.. f/ (24 in) _ 600 mm (24 in) TO STOP TRAFFIC SLOW TO LET }�TRAFFIC PROCEED eJf ail TO ALERT AND SLOW TRAFFIC 19 from one end of the zone to the other, traffic may be controlled by either a single flagger or a flagger at either end of the section. When a single flagger is used, he/she should be positioned on the road shoulder opposite the work zone. When visibility is restricted or a single flagger cannot control traffic, then flaggers are needed at either end of the traffic control zone. The flaggers have to coordinate their actions through visual, voice or electronic communication. The flagger(s) need to positioned somewhere in advance of the activity area per Table 2, below. High -visibility apparel Tree care crews may need to: ❑ Require all workers on or near traffic to wear high - visibility clothing or apparel. o Inspect high -visibility clothing regularly to ensure that color has not faded and that reflective properties have not been lost. ❑ So that workers do not blend into the background, consider seasonal variations in landscape and foliage when choosing colors for worker apparel. E3 Consider using fluorescent garments with reflective material when working under poor lighting conditions. Developing traffic control plans Table 2: Distance of ..- Station in Advance Activity Area of the Speed (mph) Distance (ft.) 20 35 25 55 30 85 35 120 40 170 45 220 50 280 55 335 60 415 65 485 Once you. fully understand the principles of traffic control, you should be able to apply them to any work situation on or near a road and be able to come up with a plan for controlling traffic. But planning doesn't end there — you also need to consider the safe and efficient layout of vehicles, equipment, materials and personnel inside the cones. The "temporary traffic control plan (TCP)" and "internal traffic control plan (ITCP)" are tools that supervisors and crews can use to coordinate the flow of vehicles outside of, or work vehicles, equipment and workers inside of the activity area, respectively. They are formal -sounding names, but in reality they are simply an extension of the work planning/job briefing process to help ensure the safety of workers in or near traffic. Tree care crews may need to: o Develop an internal traffic control plan (ITCP) once the temporary traffic control plan (TCP) has been established. As the ITCP is developed, consider how the workspace fits within the overall work zone and make sure that the ITCP is placed in the context of a TCP. ❑ Furnish schematic drawings depicting cone/sign placement as well as the movement of workers and the placement/movement of equipment and vehicles, brush piles, etc. within the workspace. ❑ Train workers in the implementation of the TCP and ITCP for each project. ❑ Assign one person the overall responsibility of TCP/ITCP coordination for each job site. By being at the job site, the coordinator is able to respond immediately to hazardous situations. The employer should authorize the coordinator to change and/or halt operations as needed to ensure worker safety. 20 ❑ Retain schematic drawings and other documents in the "job file" for use in developing future plans.

Legend —+ Direction of travel iA Accident Investigation It is the policy of Superior Landscaping to carry out a thorough program of accident investigation. Supervisory personnel will be primarily responsible for making an investigation of all accidents in their area. Accidents involving fire, death, serious injury, or extensive property damage will be investigated jointly by the supervisor and upper management. The primary goal of the accident investigation program is the prevention of future accidents through the use of knowledge derived from the investigation. Additionally, the investigation will be used to prepare reports required by Federal and State law as well as the Workers Compensation insurance carrier. These reports are critical in establishing the company's and the supervisor's liability under the law. When an employee is injured at work the supervisor is responsible for taking emergency action to have first aid administered, to obtain professional medical attention as soon as possible, and to protect other employees and equipment. The supervisor must then begin to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The following procedures have been found to be effective when investigating accidents. GO to the scene of the accident at once TALK with the injured person if possible. Talk to witnesses. Stress getting the facts --not placing blame or responsibility. Ask open-ended questions. LISTEN for clues in the conversations around you. Unsolicited comments often have merit ENCOURAGE people to give their ideas for preventing a similar accident. STUDY possible causes=lunsafe conditions, unsafe practices. CONFER with interested persons about possible solutions WRITE your accident report giving a complete accurate account of the accident. FOLLOW UP to make sure conditions are corrected. If they cannot be corrected immediately, report this to your supervisor. PUBLICIZE corrective action taken so that all may benefit from the experience. Vehicle Accidents — What to do Make sure your vehicle has a fully stocked accident kit. The kit should contain: ❑ Current vehicle registration ❑ Current proof of vehicle insurance ❑ Several business cards from the owner or manager ❑ Pen and/or pencil ❑ Accident reporting form for your office and insurance company (available through your insurance carrier or agent) ❑ Trailer registration if applicable ❑ Several witness cards Attend to all injured victims.. Assess the situation and attend to the most seriously injured first Do not move any victim unless there is danger from other vehicles in traffic or danger of fire or explosion. Do not move the vehicles. The police need to see the accident prior to moving any vehicle(s). 22 Protect the scene of the accident by placing flares, flags, or reflectors where they can be seen by approaching traffic. Physically direct traffic around the accident scene if necessary — do not expose yourself to danger in traffic. If your vehicle is moved, get the name of the person or company that moved it. If it is removed from the scene, find out where it is taken. Conduct your own investigation. Get the names, addresses, phone numbers driver's license numbers, vehicle license numbers, and insurance company(ies) of all person(s) involved; year, make and model of all vehicles involved. Offer the same information about yourself and your vehicle to others involved. Contact the office to let them know what has happened and whether anyone was injured and/or taken to a hospital or emergency treatment. Do not admit fault or discuss the accident with anyone except the office or police. Lockout/Tagout Generic sequence for securing equipment ❑ The authorized person shall notify the crew and/or affected employees that maintenance/repair is to be done and that such equipment must be shut down and secured. ❑ The authorized person shall refer to the manufacturer's manual for proper procedures (as needed). ❑ If equipment is in operation, shut it down by normal procedures. ❑ Keyed ignition systems must be in working order. Keys shall be removed and pocketed by the foreman of mechanic. When there is no keyed ignition system, the battery cables or spark plug wires may be disconnected. ❑ Materials/parts that must be raised or disconnected and suspended shall be properly secured, such as with an appropriate sling or jackstand. Flywheels, such as chipper cutter heads, are to be blocked to prevent pinch points. ❑ Disengage the power take -off before servicing/repairing, such as with hose replacement. Disconnect all hydraulic tools before adjusting or servicing. Do not attempt to stop a hydraulic leak with your body. ❑ Rotating parts, such as chipper blades, shall be stopped before maintenance/repair. ❑ Ensure that equipment is isolated and will not operate before proceeding with maintenance/repair. ❑ When the engine must be running for tuning or adjustment. Special care must be given to moving parts. Restoring equipment to service When maintenance/repair is complete and equipment is ready to return to normal operation, the following steps shall be taken. ❑ Check for loose parts or tools that may have been left in the immediate area to prevent accidental contact with moving or electrical components when the equipment is engaged. ❑ Ensure that all guards are in place and employees are in the clear. ❑ Confirm that controls are in neutral. ❑ Reconnect key, cable or plug wires. ❑ Notify affected employees that equipment is ready to return to service. 23 Aerial Lift Testing Frequent Inspection & Test (daily — monthly intervals) Inspection and tests referred to as critical in the manufacturer's manual must be strictly adhered to. Any suspected items must be carefully examined and a determination made by a qualified person as to whether they constitute a safety hazard. All unsafe items must be replaced or repaired before use. The operator shall perform the following tests and inspections once daily, prior to first use: ❑ Operating controls and associated mechanisms for conditions interfering with proper operation ❑ Visual and audible safety devices for malfunction ❑ Hydraulic or pneumatic systems for observable deterioration or excessive leakage ❑ Fiberglass and other insulating components for visible damage or contamination ❑ Missing or illegible operational markings ❑ Electrical apparatus for malfunction, signs or excessive deterioration, dirt, and moisture accumulation Periodic Inspection and Test (1-12 month intervals) An inspection of the mobile unit must be performed at six to twelve-month intervals, depending upon its activity, severity of service, and environment or as specifically indicated below. This inspection needs to include all the items from the frequent inspection list, plus: ❑ Structural members for deformation, cracks or corrosion ❑ Parts, such as pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers, locking devices, chains, chain sprockets, wire ropes, and sheaves for wear, cracks or distortion ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic relief valve settings ❑ Hydraulic system for proper oil level ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, hoses, and tubing for evidence of leakage, abnormal deformation, or excessive abrasion ❑ Compressors, pumps, motors and generators for loose fasteners, leaks, unusual noises or vibrations, loss of operating speed, and excessive heating ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic valves for malfunction and visible cracks in the external valve housing, leaks, and sticking spools ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and holding valves for malfunction and visible damage ❑ Hydraulic and pneumatic filters for cleanliness and the presence of foreign material in the system indicating other component deterioration ❑ Electrical systems and components for deterioration or wear including those not readily visible on a frequent inspection ❑ Performance test of all boom movements ❑ Condition and tightness of bolts and other fasteners ❑ Welds, as specified by the manufacturer ❑ Legible and proper markings of controls, ratings, and instructions s' ❑ Any suspected items shall be carefully examined and a determination m de by a qualified person as to whether they constitute a safety hazard. All unsafe items shall be replaced or repaired before use. 24 Crane Inspection The two general classifications are "frequent" and "periodic." ➢ Frequent inspection: Daily to monthly intervals. ➢ Periodic inspection: 1- to 12 -month intervals, or as specifically recommended by the manufacturer. The operator should check the following items daily: ❑ All control mechanisms for maladjustment interfering with proper operation ❑ Deterioration or leakage in air or hydraulic systems ❑ All safety devices for malfunction The following items should be checked weekly or monthly, depending on how much the crane is used: ❑ All control mechanisms for excessive wear of components and contamination by lubricants or other foreign matter. ❑ Crane hooks, for deformations or cracks. For hooks with cracks or having more than 15 percent in excess of normal throat opening or more than 10° 551twist from the plane of the unbent hook. o Rope reeving for noncompliance with manufacturer's recommendations. ❑ Electrical apparatus for malfunctioning, signs of excessive deterioration, dirt, and moisture accumulation. Complete inspections of the crane must be performed at periodic intervals depending upon its activity, severity of service, and environment or as specifically indicated below. These inspections have to include all "frequent" inspection items and in addition, items such as the following: ❑ Deformed, cracked, or corroded members in the crane structure and boom o Loose bolts or rivets o Cracked or worn sheaves and drums ❑ Worn, cracked, or distorted parts such as pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers and locking devices ❑ Excessive wear on brake and clutch system parts, linings, pawls, and ratchets ❑ Load, boom angle, and other indicators over their full range, for any significant inaccuracies ❑ Gasoline, diesel, electric, or other power plants for improper performance or noncompliance with safety requirements ❑ Excessive wear of chain -drive sprockets and excessive chain stretch ❑ Travel steering, braking, and locking devices, for malfunction ❑ Excessively worn or damaged tires ❑ All wire ropes (see below) A carbon dioxide, dry chemical or equivalent fire extinguisher has to be kept in the cab or vicinity of the crane. Since it stays with the crane, it too should be periodically checked to be sure that it is fully charged and functional A crane that has been idle for a period of one to six months has to go through the frequent inspection checklist of daily/weekly/monthly items before placing in service. A crane that has been idle for six months or more has to be given a complete inspection comprised of frequent as well as periodic inspection items before being placed in service. 25 Certification records must be updated monthly for critical items in use such as brakes, crane hooks, and ropes. They must show the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and the serial number or other identifier of the crane that was inspected. This certification record must be kept readily available, so it is advisable to keep a copy in the crane at all times. Wire rope & sling inspection A thorough inspection of all running ropes in use must be made at least once a month and a certification record which includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and an identifier for the ropes must be prepared and kept on file where readily available. An appointed or authorized person must perform all inspections. If rope deterioration is noted that may result in appreciable loss of the rope's original strength, the inspector needs to determine whether further use of the rope would constitute a safety hazard. Some of the conditions that could result in an appreciable loss of strength are the following: ❑ Reduction of rope diameter below nominal diameter due to loss of core support, internal or external corrosion, or wear of outside wires. ❑ A number of broken outside wires and the degree of distribution of concentration of such broken wires. ❑ Worn outside wires. ❑ Corroded or broken wires at end connections. ❑ Corroded, cracked, bent, worn, or improperly applied end connections. ❑ Severe kinking, crushing, cutting, or un -stranding. On other ropes, heavy wear and/or broken wires may occur in sections in contact with equalizer sheaves or other sheaves where rope travel is limited, or with saddles. Particular care shall be taken to inspect ropes at these locations. All rope that has been idle for a period of a month or more due to shutdown or storage of a crane on which it is installed must be given a thorough inspection before it is used. A certification record that includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection, and an identifier for the rope that was inspected shall be prepared and kept readily available. Particular care shall be taken in the inspection of non -rotating rope. Slings shall be inspected for damage or defect daily before use by a qualified person. 26 S SV NNY IS �F .f O A� � n u`' x .. yFC 9�• FLOR\OQ Sir SUPERIOR Parks and Recreational Facilities Landscape Maintenance Services rY OF SUN PN 4.
