Safety First Points Program: Overview

Safety First Point Program • On an annual basis, Biogen Idec (Fleet Manager, Meegan Heritage) will

review each Driver’s history for a minimum period of 12 months and will assign a universal point value to each violation listed on the motor vehicle record check (MVR). MVRs will be submitted and managed via The CEI Group’s MVR automated program, DriverCare™. The total number of points assigned will determine a Driver’s risk level. Biogen Idec reserves the right to review MVRs at any time beyond the 12 month time period and to consider such information in making decisions pursuant to this policy.

• If a Driver disputes any violation on his/her MVR, he/she must provide Biogen Idec with a written notification setting forth the specific nature of the dispute and the steps the Driver is taking to have the dispute resolved in his/her favor. Biogen Idec may decide how much weight, if any, to assign to such dispute in its determination of Driver’s risk level.

• Any non-employee authorized drivers (i.e., spouse, domestic partner, etc.) with 5 or more points in a 12 month period are prohibited from driving the company vehicle.
