3. DISCIPLINE

This procedure is provided to assist in the uniform application of disciplinary action for safety violations
throughout the project.

The Safety Manager coordinates accident prevention as it applies to all areas of the safety and health program.
The Project Safety Manager reports directly to the Site Manager and is not a part of the project's line
organization. With the exception of work performed within their office, they do not exercise direct operational
control of any project work.

The Safety Manager shall keep a constant check on the methods used by supervisors and employees to prevent
safety violations. They have the authority to correct and instruct employees concerning the violation of safety
rules and shall stop work in situations of imminent danger. Should the Safety Manager witness an unsafe work
situation, which requires the application of the project's disciplinary program, they must bring this to the
attention of the appropriate project supervisor. The supervisor is responsible for carrying out the necessary
corrective measures.

The Safety Manager may advise or recommend the type of reprimand or discipline to be applied, but shall not
administer the discipline themselves, except for the serious safety violations requiring immediate
dismissal/termination from the project as stated below. If appropriate discipline is not forthcoming, the chain
of command shall be followed until appropriate corrective measures and discipline result. If satisfactory results
are not achieved after working through the Site Manager, the Safety Manager shall contact the Project Safety
Manager for resolution or further instructions.

SAFETY VIOLATION: Violation has a direct relationship to work place safety and health where the
exposure is not likely to cause death, serious physical harm, or major equipment damage.

Safety violations call for a documented oral reprimand for the first violation noted and the employee’s ID
badge punched one hole. The second violation noted will require a second hole punched in employees ID
badge and a written reprimand. Termination will occur for the third violation noted and third hole punched in
the employee’s ID badge, provided the third violation occurred within six (6) months of the first. It is not
necessary for the safety violation to be identical for the progressive steps of discipline to apply.
