EMPLOYEE EMERGENCY AND FIRE PREVENTION PLANS

Emergencies will occur. The effect of the emergency must be controlled by means of a proper
pre-emergency plan. In order to respond to this need, our company has developed the following
plan which all employees are expected to follow in preventing or responding to emergency
situations that we reasonably expect in our workplace.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

A. SCOPE AND APPLICATION. As required by OSHA the following Emergency Action

Plan has been developed to ensure employee safety from fire or other emergencies.

B. ELEMENTS

1. Emergency Escape Procedures. Escape route assignments are posted throughout

the facility. A layout of the facility clearly marked with escape routes is posted in
each department. A copy of the layout is attached to this policy.

If the alarm sounds or if a supervisor orders the evacuation of the building, remain
calm, walk to the nearest exit and leave the building immediately. After leaving
the building, proceed to the front of the building and meet at insert meeting
place. Do not leave the area. Do not return into the building. Follow your
supervisor's instructions.

In addition to the escape routes, the locations of fire extinguisher and safety
stations are indicated by color coded labels. Fire extinguisher locations are
indicated by yellow labels. Safety stations are indicated by green labels.

2. Employees Who Remain to Operate Critical Plant Operations Prior to Evacuation.

As there are no plant processes which would require continued operation during
an emergency, all employees are expected to leave the plant immediately when an
evacuation order is announced. No provisions are made for employees who
remain within the plant to perform rescue, medical or fire fighting duties.

Page 2
 3. Accounting of All Employees After an Emergency Evacuation. Within the first 15
minutes of each shift, the supervisor is responsible for taking attendance of the
workers. The attendance sheet should remain with the supervisor at all times. In
the event of an evacuation, all employees are instructed to leave the plant, proceed
to the front of the building and meet across the street. The daily attendance sheets
will be used to account for the workers. In the event that a worker is absent, the
supervisor may at his own discretion, sweep the area for the missing employee.
Employees must not leave the area until instructed to do so by the supervisor.
4. Rescue and Medical Duties for Employees. Employees are not expected to
perform any rescue or medical duties. Therefore, there are no provisions for
training employees in these tasks. Municipal emergency medical and fire facilities
are used for emergency medical treatment. Emergency phone numbers are posted
at each production area phone. At no time should an employee be directed to
perform emergency duties which may endanger his/her life.

5. Preferred Means of Reporting Fires and Other Emergencies. The preferred means
of reporting fires and other emergencies is by phone. Emergency phone numbers
are posted at each production area phone. In the case of telephone failure, the
authorities should be notified in person.

6. Persons to Contact for Further Information. Enter names of contact personnel.

C. ALARM SYSTEM

1. Employee Notification of an Emergency. Notification of an emergency or of an

evacuation is communicated to the employees via the plant intercom system.
Directions for the use of the intercom system are as follows: provide instructions

Ask for the attention of the employees. Speak slowly and clearly. Describe the
area in which the emergency is located. Direct the employees to walk out of the
plant and meet in the front of the building across the street.

2. Fire Brigade. We do not support a company fire brigade. Employees are not ex-
pected to fight fires, clean up major chemical spills or participate in rescue
procedures.

D. EVACUATION FOR VARIOUS EMERGENCIES

1. Emergency Action Plan for Fire or Chemical Release. In the event of a fire or a
chemical emergency, our policy is to immediately evacuate all employees from
the section of the building directly affected. Additional evacuation of the building,
whether partial or complete, is left to the discretion of the plant manager or the

Page 3
 shift supervisor.

Evacuated employees must report to the reporting location. The supervisor must
take attendance to account for all personnel involved.

2. Emergency Action Plan for Electrical Outage. In the event of an electrical outage,
emergency lighting should illuminate the plant. All employees should report to the
lunch room. All employees should remain in the lunch room unless the plant
manager or supervisor issues new instructions.

E. TRAINING OF PERSONNEL

In order to ensure the safe and orderly emergency evacuation of employees, a sufficient
number of personnel should be trained to assist in emergency procedures. The following
personnel should be trained in the emergency procedure: enter titles of those employees
who will be giving special training such as Plant Manager; Production Supervisor;
Maintenance Supervisor; Material Handling Personnel.

1. Periodic Review of Emergency Plans with Employees. A review of the

emergency plans must be completed when the plan is first developed; whenever
the employee's responsibilities or designated actions under the plan change; and
whenever the plan is revised.

2. Review of Emergency Plans with Employees. A review of the emergency plans

must be complete with each new employee prior to the employee beginning
his/her duties within the plant. The supervisor is responsible for performing the
review with new employees, both production and office. Under no circumstances
should a new employee be allowed to begin work without safety and evacuation
training. A copy of the Emergency Plans will be located enter location with the
intent that it will be available to all workers who wish to review it.

 FIRE PREVENTION PLAN

A. SCOPE AND APPLICATION As required by OSHA the following Fire Prevention

Plan has been developed to prevent or minimize the possibility of a fire emergency.

B. ELEMENTS

1. Major Workplace Fire Hazards. The following is a list of a potential fire hazard
within the plant and their proper handling and storage procedures. Enter
workplace hazards and procedures here, i.e., hydraulic, lubricating and other oils
used in the plant are stored in an area located away from heat and sparks.

Fire extinguishers are located throughout the facility. In addition, the building is
equipped with a sprinkler system. The alarm for the sprinkler system is connected
with the fire department.

2. Personnel Responsible for Maintenance of Fire and Emergency Equipment. Enter

names or position titles

3. Personnel Responsible for Control of Fuel Source Hazards. Fuels are not used
within the plant for production processes. The plant heating units are natural gas
fired and are inspected by an outside service.

C. HOUSEKEEPING

General housekeeping is an everyday duty. Plant cleanliness is stressed to all employees,

whether in the office or on the production floor. There are several workers from the
maintenance department who have as part of their duties, the responsibility for
maintaining and cleaning equipment. In addition, the foremen of the various departments
are responsible for their respective areas. Trash, scrap, and waste are removed during
each shift. Each worker is expected to take the last five or ten minutes of the shift to clean
up his/her area. Waste receptacles are located throughout the plant.

D. TRAINING

1. Employee Training for Fire Hazards of the Materials and Processes. Employees
are to be trained semi-annually. Training sessions are to be held in the fall and the
spring. The fire safety training sessions will coincide with a review of material
safety procedures and the material safety data sheets. Within a period of two
weeks following the training sessions, a fire drill will be scheduled. The fire drill
will be unannounced to the workers prior to its occurrence.

 2. New Employee Training for Fire Hazards of the Materials and Processes. New
employee training of fire hazards of the materials and processes must be
completed with each new employee prior to the employee beginning his/her duties
with in the plant. The supervisor is responsible for performing the review with the
new employee. Under no circumstances should a new employee be allowed to
begin work without training for fire hazards of the materials and processes. A
copy of the Fire Prevention Plan will be assigned to the first and second shift
foremen with the intent that it will be available to all workers who wish to review
it.
