Disciplinary Actions Compliance with this safety plan is mandatory at all levels. Injuries and fatalities are seldom the result of accidents. Rather. They usually result from one of the following systemic or individual failures: A: Failure by management to properly plan B: Failure by supervision to execute work to the plan C: Failure by individuals to comply with supervisors DynCorp International. Failure types can be broken further down into chronic or acute. While acute failures of a serious natures are more easily noticed and more frequently lead to hospitalization, etc, are the best prevented by strict avoidance of the chronic failures all too frequency observed regarding so called minor deviations. DynCorp International has therefore adopted a strict, pro-active, policy. Category A Failures require a managerial meeting to identify the immediate cause. Recommendations for correction will be considered and as appropriate. The safety plan and/ or AHA’s will be modified to prevent reoccurrence of such failures. Repeated problems indicate management failure and may lead to re-training or replacing the responsible manager(s). Category B Failures will be requiring action from management to:

A. A: Empty additional supervision, or B. B: Re-train or counsel the responsible supervisor, or C. C: Reprimand the responsible supervisor, or D. D: Replace the responsible supervisor.

Category C Failures require the individual be

A. A: Counseled (first offense), or B. B: Reprimanded (second offense), a written safety Violation or C. C: Safety Violation Fine (money is deducted from the individual or D. Subcontractor) E. D: Employment termination for continued violations. F. Note: in the many individual failures result from an over-anxious worker trying to cut

corners to G. Save time, chronic widespread (in excess of 5% of the supervisor’s workforce in any

given Month) category C failures indicate a Category B failure and will be necessitating such treatment.

H. Exceptions: the following failures require immediate termination and may require

notification to I. Local governmental officials:

• Sky larking • Fighting • Drug or alcohol abuse • Refusal to obey safety directions

13

• Reckless disregard for safety or security policies • Engagement in activities deemed unsafe to fellow workers or the public.

30. Safety Awards Funds or money from safety violations shall be redistributed to employee on a monthly basis in the structure of Safety Awards. It is our intent that rewarding individuals for demonstrating fine safety practices should not go unnoticed. Workers that receive this award shall serve as role model to other employees that good safe work practices. 31. Safety Signs As safety bulletin board will be installed on the site within 5 days of commencement of work in clear view of the on-site construction personnel, maintained current, and protected against the elements and unauthorized removal.

• The sign will display: • The number of hours worked since the last accident. • Number of accident free days. • List of safety occurrences. • Safety and health warning posters. • Hardhat use. • Safety glasses. • Safe work areas.

32. Plant Communications Whenever the contractor has the individual elements of its plant so located that operation by normal voice between these elements is not satisfactory, the Contractor shall install a satisfactory means of communication, such as telephone or other suitable devices shall be determined by Governmental and Contract personnel, which shall be by means of cell phone. Most Common safety Deficiencies

1. Temporary Power cords lying in traffic areas subject to damage. Where subject damage due to traffic, temporary power cords shall be suspended overhead or buried underground to protect them from damage. Temporary power cords that are frayed or patched or the wrong types of cords are being used, i.e., not rated for hard or extra hard usage,

2. Inadequate protection of excavations from accidental falls. 3. No GFCI on temporary power. 4. Job site ladders are not constructed properly, are too short, are not properly tied off, etc. 5. No fire extinguishers where required on equipment at fueling points or where welding, 6. Contractor safety plans not approved or approved when they are not complete or job

Hazard analyses are not provided or they do not address all hazards associated with the item of work.

7. No reverse flow check valves installed between the torch and the regulator on Oxyacetylene torches.

8. No back-up alarms on construction equipment. 9. Gas cylinders are not properly stored.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM

GENERAL INFORMATION In order to comply with federal and state regulations and to ensure that all employees are protected by the requirements of those regulations the following policy and plan has been established. All employees and subcontractors shall follow the Respirator Program. This program will be part of the Site Specific Safety Plan at the project site and will be available to all Workers. Airborne contaminants that might be hazardous to our workers on the project site are removed from the work site through various means such as natural circulation and mechanical ventilation wherever possible. In some instances these systems are overcome by the amount of material in the atmosphere. Consequently, it is necessary for workers in these areas to be fitted with and wear respiratory protection against occupational dusts, fumes, gases and vapors. The primary objective is being to prevent excessive exposure to these contaminants by our employees. The guidelines contained herein form the basis upon which our Respiratory Protection Program is organized. Its purpose is to define the rules under which workers on our job sites will wear and maintain respirators for personal protection against airborne contaminants. These rules are mandatory and most suited to our company's operations. As such they are required of all worker, subcontracted firms, and visitors, on our project sites. MEDICINAL LIMITATIONS A designated individual is the Quality Control/Safety Manager, shall determine whether or not a person may be assigned a task requiring the use of a respirator. Prior to being assigned duties involving the wearing of any respirator, the employee will complete a respirator Medical screening Form and, as appropriate, shall be screen by a company retained consulting physician persons answering "yes" to any questions contained in the Medical Screening Form shall not be assigned tasks requiring the use of a respirator until a qualified physician has determined that the person is physically able to wear the equipment and perform the task. On an annual basis, employee’s assigned tasks involving the wearing of respirators shall complete a new Respirator Medical Screening form and persons answering, "yes" to any question shall have his file reviewed and shall again be given a medical examination. RESPIRATOR SELECTION Only respirators approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) or Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) shall be used. No modification of an approved respirator is permitted. Employees shall not provide their own respirators but shall use only those provided by their immediate supervisor.

15

RESPIRATOR PROTECTION PROGRAM Respirators shall be selected on the basis of the hazards to which the worker is exposed. Only the respirators approved shall be used on the project site. All subcontractor firms shall submit their choice of respirator to the CQC for this delivery order for approval. The choice of respirator is dependent upon the airborne contaminant present, the operation performed, and on the basis of comfort and ease of obtaining a proper individual fit. The company will provide respirators, replacement parts, cartridges and filters as needed. The selected types of respirators are available from the project on-site superintendents. EMPLOYEE TRAINING The Designated Individual shall be responsible for providing training to each employee required to wear a respirator to the extent that the person is knowledgeable and proficient with respect to the respirator to be worn. Refresher training shall be given at least annually. Training shall cover but is not limited to the following items:

a) How to Select a Respirator b) Proper use of equipment c) Importance of and proper cleaning procedures d) Maintenance of respirators e) Proper storage methods f) Hands on procedures to fit and test face pieces.

FIT TESTING Each respirator wearer shall ensure his/her respirator is fitted properly before being permitted to enter an area or perform work where airborne hazardous contaminants are present. Fit tests are essential to ensuring that a respirator mask forms a good seal against the wearer's face and prevents contaminants from leaking into the mask. The respirator should fit snugly, but not so tightly that it's uncomfortable and restricting. The most likely point of failure in a respirator is the seal between the face piece and the wearer's face. Respirator face pieces are made in various sizes to fit a wide variety of face shapes and sizes. Consequently, close attention should be paid to the face seal fit when purchasing and issuing Respirators to workers. Written records of fit testing shall be maintained for each employee assigned a respirator to show:

a) The type of respirator being used in fit testing b) Specific make/model of respirator c) Name of person tested d) Name of test operator e) Date of test f) Face dimensions and face piece sizes used for the test. g) Results of test: h)

16

1) Success or failure of person to obtain a satisfactory fit (If a qualitative fit test is used) 2) Respirator protection factor based on test results(If a quantitative fit test is used).The types of fit test are: I. Negative Pressure Fit Test: This is accomplished when the wearer closes off the respirator inlet and inhales. A vacuum and partial inward collapse of the mask should result. If a vacuum Cannot be maintained for at least 10 seconds, readjust the face piece and try again. II. Positive Pressure Fit Test: When the wearer closes off the exhalation valve and breathes out gently, air should escape through any gaps in the seal. III. Vapor Fit Test: The respirator is donned and a special smoke tube, containing stannic chloride, is directed at the seals and edges of the respirator as the wear responds to questions and/or reads a prepared statement while simultaneously moving his/her head up, down and side to side as well as deep breathing. If the wearer cannot detect the irritant smoke, the fit is considered satisfactory. NOTE 1-The NEGATIVE PRESSURE FIT TEST and the POSITIVE FIT TEST should be made by the wearer when donning the mask each time to ensure a proper fit. 2- Since the proper seal imperative to a respirator program, ALL EMPLOYEES WEARING RESPIRATORS MUST BE CLEAN SHAVEN. Even beard stubble may prevent a proper seal. Consequently, a daily shave prior to reporting for work is essential. Eyeglass temple pieces shall not interfere with the seal. Further, goggles, face shields, or welding helmets that must be worn in conjunction with a respirator shall be worn so as not to adversely affect the seal of the face piece to the face. WARNING THE WEARER OF A RESPIRATOR SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED TO WEAR CONTACT LENSES IF THE RISK OF EYE DAMAGE IS INCREASED BY THEIR USE. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Each person issued a respirator shall inspect the respirator prior to its use to ensure that it is in Good operating condition. Each employee issued a respirator will be responsible to ensure that the following maintenance Inspections/task is accomplished and his/her equipment is properly maintained.

A. Cleaning and sanitizing B. Inspection for defects C. Repairs accomplished properly D. Storage

17

Each respirator shall be properly maintained to retain its original shape and effectiveness. CLEANING AND SANITIZING Each respirator, other than disposable, shall be cleaned and sanitized after each use to ensure that the respirator wearer is provided with a clean and sanitized respirator at all times. Cleaning and sanitizing shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. However, in the absence of such instructions, remove filter and/or straps; wash the face piece in a mild soap solution. After washing, the respirator shall be thoroughly rinsed in fresh water to prevent dermatitis from any residue left on the mask. The drying shall take place at room temperature in an atmosphere free of contaminants. Employees issued personal respirators shall wash, rinse, and dry their assigned respirators regularly to ensure they are maintained in good condition and are clean. Disposable respirators shall be maintained until passage of air becomes restricted and them properly disposed of in accordance with the environmental plan. No cleaning is authorized, the respirator shall be properly stored it is original bag when not being worn by the individual. The respirator shall not be shared but disposed of and a new item issued. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Only persons trained in proper respirator assembly and repair shall do replacement of parts or repairs. Replacement parts shall be only those designed for the specific respirator being repaired. When your respirator needs maintenance or repair consult your immediate supervisor. STORAGE Respirators can be permanently damaged if they are not stored properly. After having been cleaned, sanitized and dried, they shall be placed in individual resalable plastic bags. Storage shall be not in a designated storage area in such manner that they will not be distorted nor have the rubber or other parts damaged. Individual’s assigned respirators shall not store them in places such as lockers and toolboxes/job Boxes unless they are protected from contamination, distortions, and damage. SURVEILLANCE Supervisory personnel are tasked to ensure that the right respirator is being used for the task and those in the hazardous area are wearing respirators properly. Corrective measures shall be taken immediately when discrepancies are observed. Should the respirators not be appropriate for the contaminated areas, personnel shall evacuate the area. The task/atmosphere shall be reevaluated and the proper equipment be made available to Employees before work are permitted to resume. The Designated Individual is to ensure equipment is being properly inspected, maintained, Sanitized and stored by conducting periodic surveillance. This applies to both the daily issue of Respirators as well as those issued permanently to select individual employees.

18

RESPIRATOR PROGRAM EVALUATION An appraisal of the program shall be carried out as needed by the Quality Control and Safety Manager. Action shall be taken to correct defects in the program. New 42 CFR 84 Standards The new 42 CFR 84 standard enacted by the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) requires non-powered, air purifying particulate filter respirators to perform against a 0.3-micron size particle. This new regulation is a revolutionary and far more stringent way to classify filtering efficiency and respirator performance. Previously, respirators were required to screen against 2-micron size and were classified by contaminant types. Research showed that this standard was inadequate against oil and many other harmful particles that were too small to detect. There are three filter efficiency classes required under the new standard; 95%, 99%, and 99.97%.All these classes are approved to TB protection. Within each class are three divisions based on whether the filter is approved for oil aerosols or not. Such as “N” is not for oil aerosols, “R” is Resistant to oil aerosols and “P” is oil aerosol proof.
