SECTION 2: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Safety Vision

It is SMG-US Bank Stadiums goal to establish and maintain a stadium culture that is committed to workplace safety and health in effort to prevent accidents, illnesses or lost time. SMG-US Bank Stadium will work toward this objective by providing thorough safety training, monthly safety committee meetings, analysis of injuries and incidents with a goal to prevent repetitive occurrences and a general desire to build an overall awareness of employee safety and health. All safety rules will be enforced throughout the stadium. SECTION 3: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Everyone is responsible for safety. We can practice safe work habits through our everyday duties. Understanding how to properly perform our responsibilities will help us determine what we improve on. To support our safety and health we have directors, managers/supervisors, and the employees. All Everyone needs to practice safety by following the rules and procedures that are put in place. These are put in place for you and help guide us to safer work habits. It is important to acknowledge when someone is doing something wrong and show them how to perform the task properly. Employees Be accountable for your safety and the safety of others. Employees need to understand and follow all safe practices, policies and procedures. It is important to perform your job safely. If you are unsure of how to perform it safely, please discuss with your manager/supervisor. Wear the appropriate PPE for the job that you are performing and maintain the equipment in a safe and sanitary manner. Promptly report any safety and health hazards you observe to your manager/supervisor or safety committee representative. Employees must take on the responsibility of responding to an accident immediately. It is important to observe our surroundings to prevent accidents and maintain a readiness in case something does happen. Once an accident is witnessed, employees must notify their supervisor right away. We can work on getting medical assistance and filing a Workman’s Compensation Claim.

Managers/Supervisors Managers/Supervisors must keep employees informed and up-to-date with any safety information. They must also address any safety concerns immediately to prevent future accidents. Once there is an accident, managers/supervisors must perform a thorough investigation and obtain as much information as possible. To set an example for their subordinates, managers/supervisors must maintain a level of commitment to a safe work environment through leading by example and constant follow through. Safety Committee The safety committee will conduct monthly meetings and area inspections to review accident reports, identify hazards and address any and all safety concerns raised by employees, managers/supervisors or the safety manager. Safety committee members each represent their particular work area and, therefore, should address all safety concerns brought to them by their coworkers. These concerns should be handled by initially investigating the issue with the area manager/supervisor to determine if the concern is valid and then, as necessary and appropriate, bring the issue to the safety manager or the full safety committee. Reviewing the accidents can help develop a strategic plan for the future. The plan can consist of errors that need correction and ways to prevent reoccurrence. Open communication is key to safe working habits. To ensure that we maintain a safe work environment we must work together. Every person needs to take responsibility for their actions and practice safety. It is important to keep communication open and constantly review accidents. Planning for the future is based off of what we do today. Working safely will make our future brighter.

SECTION 4: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, ANALYSIS AND CONTROL

Workplace hazards at SMG - US BANK STADIUM – US Bank Stadium will be identified through review of accident records, preventive maintenance reports, First Report of Injury, OSHA 300 log, safety inspections and employee hazard reports. Periodic safety inspections of working areas will be done for safety and health committee review and follow-up.

Amendment Date: 12.15.18

Hazards will be controlled by correcting hazards found through evaluating information from the safety inspections and job safety analysis, providing PPE, enforcing safety policies, and training programs. New equipment, materials and processes will be evaluated for safety and health impacts before they are purchased or implemented. Job safety analysis will be prioritized according to potential for causing severe injury. Engineering and maintenance departments will work in conjunction with the safety management to institute engineering and mechanical safeguards. JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS PROGRAM APPLICATION The Job Safety Analysis Program will encompass the following steps:

1. Job Selection Criteria

• A job that has a high frequency of accidents

• Jobs that may produce a high frequency of disabling injuries

• Jobs with potential to cause severe injuries or loss

• New and/or revised jobs

2. Job Broken Down Into Steps

• Select the right person to observe

• Each step completely described with employee verification

• Note possible deviations from regular procedures

3. Identification of Hazards and Potential Accidents

SECTION 6: ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION An accident is defined as “an unplanned event which may or may not have caused an injury.” Accident investigations are created to help identify and prevent hazards. It is created not to blame employees, but to determine how to prevent future accidents from happening. The accident investigation will look at the details of any injuries, illnesses, or damages to people or property. It will investigate the events that create near miss opportunities for

Page | 7

Amendment Date: 12.15.18

hazards. This includes situations that aren’t hazardous but may become so. These investigations will also include the evaluation of the First Report of Injury. There are two primary levels that are investigated, direct and indirect causes of injury, illness, or damage. Direct causes include the person or property that was affected by the hazard. The indirect cause is the chemical or machinery that caused the accident. Everyone must assist in the investigation. It is important to analyze the situation from every angle and address every possibility that has influenced the hazard. No matter how insignificant an influence may seem, it has the possibility of turning in to a much larger accident. The following questions should be answered when investigating an accident:

➢ Who was involved?

➢ Were there any witnesses?

➢ What happened (in detail)?

➢ What was different about the situation that may have influenced the accident?

➢ When did the events occur in the accident?

➢ Where was the first occurrence of the hazard?

➢ How and why did the event take place?

Please see Accident Investigation and Record Keeping Program for specific details. ACCIDENT PROCEDURE: Step 1 Assist the employee to a safe area and take to the clinic or call 911 based on severity of injuries. Step 2 Inform the supervisor immediately. Step 3 Complete SMG - US BANK STADIUM First Report of Injury/Illness Packet Step 4 Turn in packet to HR Manager. HR Manager will share a copy to any applicable personnel to complete the investigation. See Accident Investigation and Record Keeping Program.

RETURN TO WORK PROGRAM SMG – US Bank Stadium’s Return to Work Program will let employees know that they are valued productive members of the company even though they are not 100% well. It keeps the employees in the work setting earning money for “working”, rather than for being injured. This will decrease the chance that an employee will have a delayed recovery and/or develop Chronic Pain Syndrome.

1. The doctor should clearly outline any activity restrictions on the Report of Workability.

2. Prior to the employee performing work duties, the manager/supervisor should discuss the restriction with the employee to make sure that the employee understands her/his restrictions and responsibilities while in transitional/light duty.

3. The employee has the responsibility to inform the manager/supervisor of any progress or problems.

• The employee must provide a Report of Workability updating her/his progress EACH time s/he sees the treating doctor.

o If the employee is unable to do the job and/or is unable to come into work, the employee must go and see the doctor on the same day to get evaluated and possibly to update the restrictions.

4. The manager/supervisor should discuss the specific work that is to be done by the employee and assures that the employee understands the job.

5. The supervisor should express ongoing interest in the employee during the employee’s recovery. Ask the employee, “How are things going?” The overall

6. work environment should support the employee’s return to work and should not be adversarial.

7. Notify Human Resources or the workers compensation carrier if difficulties arise.

• The employee does not return to work.

• Unsure of what the restrictions are.

• Difficulty in identifying a job for the employee.

• General questions on return to work program.
