1.2 I have read and I understand the expectations as outlined in the above Safety Policy Statement.

2.1 Highway vehicle crashes are the leading cause of oil and gas extraction worker fatalities. Roughly 4 of every 10 workers killed on the job in this industry are killed as a result of a highway vehicle accidents (Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries).

2.2 That number is more than 38 percent of the 4,547 annual number of fatalities from occupational injuries and accounted for about 2 out of every 5 fatal work injuries last year.

2.3 Work injuries involving transportation accidents remained the most common fatal event in 2019, accounting for 40 percent (2,083). What are some of the actions you can take to help make the roads safer (select all that apply)

3.1 CDH Consulting has a strong commitment to the health, safety and welfare of its employees, their families and contractors. Widely available statistics and information establish that the incidence of drug and alcohol abuse is increasing and that the effect is devastating to lives, business and the community at large. Our commitment to maintaining a safe and secure workplace requires CDH Consulting contractors to maintain a clear policy and supportive programs relating to the detection, treatment and prevention of substance abuse by employees.

3.2 It is the goal of CDH Consulting to provide a safe workplace by eliminating the hazards to health and job safety created by alcohol and other drug abuse. We believe this goal to be in the best interest of our employees and our contractors.

3.3 CDH Consulting believes that each employee and contractor employee has the responsibility to (select each to acknowledge your acceptance):

4.1 Lifting improperly or lifting loads that are too heavy for the back to support is the largest single cause of back pain and injury.

4.2 Instituting proper lifting techniques and other safety measures can significantly reduce back injuries on the job. As part of CDH Consulting's ongoing commitment to safety in the workplace we require contract companies to maintain a Back Safety, Proper Lifting Safety or Ergonomics Safety Program as another opportunity to enhance the safety and health of their employees.

4.4 The following is a list of Back Safety techniques that will support good back health (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

4.3 CDH Consulting expects all workers representing CDH Consulting on sites and projects to take the following precautions at a minimum (check each item in agreement to support the expectation):

5.1 To understand the requirements of a permit-required confined space, the definition of a confined space must be understood. OSHA defines a confined space as any space that (Check each item to acknowledge understanding):

5.2 According to General Industry regulations, any worker involved in or has the potential to be involved in confined-space entries must be trained before entering any space, as well as (check to acknowledge your understanding):

5.3 If your task requires you to enter a confined space and you have not been trained in 'Confined Space Entry' you must notify your supervisor before proceeding.

5.4 Alternative Entry Procedures: A contractor, at their own discretion may allow entry into a non-permit required confined space only if the following conditions exist. (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

5.5 It may be necessary, though, to conduct a full permit-required confined-space entry permit (located at https://cdh.energy/) to test the atmosphere if it cannot be tested from outside. According to OSHA, once the atmosphere has been tested and it is determined that the only hazard is an atmospheric hazard that can be controlled through the use of forced-air ventilation, the rest of the requirements are relaxed―the only requirement being that the atmosphere must be tested periodically.

5.6 In this case, If a hazardous atmosphere is detected at any time during the entry, the following are required at a minimum (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

5.7 OSHA requires employers to provide training for those who may be involved in the permit-required confined-space process (check each to acknowledge your understanding).

5.8 Employers who decide to have their employees enter a permit space must provide rescue and emergency services. There are three different types of emergency rescue that a contractor can rely on (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

6.1 Although road fatalities are down throughout much of the United States, that is not the case in Oilfield communities. Overall highway deaths have increased significantly over the last three years; deaths involving commercial vehicles grew by 53 percent during the same period. A significant portion of the increase in traffic deaths occurred in the oilfields.

6.2 In oilfield communities, roads not built to handle the traffic fill up with oilfield service trucks, workers commuting to and from work, tractor-trailers, tanker trucks and commercial vans going to and from oil sites, etc. This congestion, when coupled with tired drivers and those who may lack proper training and who drive well below or above the speed limit, creates conditions that endanger ordinary drivers. The result is significantly greater risk of dying in a vehicle accident on these roads

6.3 There are many things workers can do individually to increase the likelihood of a safe commute (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

7.1 Electricity is widely recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing workers to electric shock, burns, fires, and explosions.

7.2 It is well known that the human body will conduct electricity. If direct body contact is made with an electrically energized part while a similar contact is made simultaneously with another conductive surface that is maintained at a different electrical potential, a current will flow, entering the body at one contact point, traversing the body, and then exiting at the other contact point, usually the ground.

7.3 Each year many workers suffer pain, injuries, and death from such electric shocks. Current through the body, even at levels as low as 3 milliamperes, can also cause indirect or secondary injuries in which involuntary muscular reaction from the electric shock can cause bruises, bone fractures and even death resulting from collisions or falls.

7.4 It is required that the following engineering controls be present at all CDH Consulting work sites (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

10.2 The OSHA standard for Lockout/Tagout addresses the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment, thereby preventing the release of hazardous energy while workers perform servicing and maintenance activities. The standard outlines measures for controlling hazardous energies—electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other energy sources. In addition, 29 CFR 1910.333 sets forth requirements to protect workers working on electric circuits and equipment. This section requires workers to use safe work practices, including lockout and tagging procedures. These provisions apply when workers are exposed to electrical hazards while working on, near, or with conductors or systems that use electric energy.

10.3 The training must cover at least three areas (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

11.1 It is required that employers protect employees from workplace hazards that can cause injury or illness. Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect workers. However, when engineering, work practice and administrative controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to employees and ensure its use.

11.2 PPE is equipment worn to minimize exposure to a variety of hazards. Examples include items such as gloves, foot and eye protection, protective hearing protection (earplugs, muffs), hard hats and respirators.

18.2 Pre-task Analysis is a process to evaluate the work environment by performing a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) of each job. The purpose of which is to eliminate or control all hazards that may be encountered to complete the job. This process is included in the Behavior Based Safety process to establish the correct habits and work procedures in order to reduce at-risk behaviors.

18.3 The observation process is designed to raise safety awareness and provide a feedback mechanism for management to make changes in design, process or procedure in order to reduce at-risk behaviors. The key to this process is raising awareness of behavior through observation and feedback. The process has three key elements (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

Conducting Observations of Employees Work Behavior:Observations provide direct, measurable information on employee work practices identifying both safe and unsafe behaviors. The process starts with the observation of workers - fellow employees, other contractor employees and customer employees as they perform their tasks. Observers collect information about worker performance and provide feedback via the observation card. The emphasis is not on who was observed but rather what behavior was observed.CDH Consulting Safety Management System BAHAVIOR BASED SAFETY Uncontrolled copy if printed.Valid on day of printing only. Printed on: 10 July 2022 CDH Consulting During the observation the observer records their findings on the BBS Observation Form. Items to be observed include but are not limited to:• Personal Protective Equipment• Procedures / Methods• People• Work Environment• Equipment Upon completion of an observation the observer is expected to have a discussion with the observed to get feedback. The observer will:• Review the observation with observed employee.• Start with a positive comment.• Reinforce safe behaviors observed first.• Describe and discuss unsafe behaviors observed.• Solicit from observed employee explanation of his/her unsafe behavior with open-ended questions.• Re-emphasize no consequence to observed employee.Documenting feedback allows workers to assess what should be repeated and what should change to reduce risks in the workplace.Collection of Data and Performing Trend Analysis:Individual departments, as well as CDH Consulting as a whole, will compare these measurements and track these results by an acceptable method so that numerical and statistical comparisons can be made over time.BBS Observation Forms are forwarded to the corporate safety manager for input into the BBS database. Reports are generated and forwarded to management. CDH Consulting will collect data and performing trend analysis based on the information.Elements of an Action Plan After the Trend Analysis is CompletedOnce trend analysis is complete, appropriate action plans shall be developed to address unsafe behaviors. Action planning will include:• Evaluate unsafe behaviors from trend analysis and prioritize• Develop action plan for unsafe behaviors based on comments and feedback from data sheets• Designate responsible parties and timeframes within the action plan• Define who is responsible for action planning• Ensure management supportAction Plan Follow Up:All action plans shall be arranged by a set time period. To ensure effectiveness of the BBS follow-up is necessary to ensure the closure of all actions listed. The follow-up process will include:• Monthly frequency for review of action by the safety manager, senior management and employees.• Assign accountability for closeout of action plans within CDH Consulting.• Document archiving of action plans with completed action items.

18.4 Oversight (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

The manager/supervisor has these oversight responsibilities:• Coach observers and develop action plans to ensure continuous improvement.• Ensure that all employees are trained on the Behavior Based Safety elements.• Maintain communication with workforce by channeling information in a timely manner (feedback).• Collect and review process modification change requests from employees.• After reviewing and giving feedback the BBS/JSA cards should be forwarded to the corporate safety director for data entry.Person performing the observation• Learn the Behavior Based Safety process and the benefits of reducing at-risk behaviors.• Promote the Behavior Based Safety process.• Make observing proactive.• Be open to coaching.• Be courteous and helpful.• Assist workers by offering suggestions to safely perform a task or help them with a task if necessary.• Communicate with the workers being observed.• Give constructive feedback after observations.• Stress the safe behaviors before the at-risk behaviors.• Offer and work towards solutions of problems found.• Record a comment for every recorded “at-risk” to include what and why. Make quality observations, concentrating on quality comments.Manager• Actively promote and participate in the behavior safety process by supporting the goals and objectives of the Behavior Based Safety process.• Ensure that all employees are aware of what is expected of them regarding the BBS process.• Encourage employees to participate in observations so that incidents/injuries are reduced in the workplace.• Provide necessary resources to keep process productive.• Attend safety meetings and offer feedback on areas of improvement.Supervisor• Actively promoting and participating in the Behavior Based Safety process by reviewing BBS Observation Forms turned in at least weekly and giving feedback, completing corrective actions needed, etc.• Refraining from using data from the Behavior Based Safety process in a punitive manner.• Assisting in problem solving and completing corrective actions in a timely manner.• Understanding the behavior safety process and the benefits of reducing at-risk behaviors.

21.1 Purpose - (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

It is the goal of CDH CONSULTING to return employees to meaningful, productive temporary employment following injury or illness until their health care provider releases them to full duty.The return to work program provides opportunities for any employee who sustains a compensable injury during the course and scope of employment to safely return to work. If the employee is not capable of returning to full duty, the return to work program provides opportunities for the employee to perform a temporary assignment, either modified or alternative duty as defined below.

21.2 Responsibilities - (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

21.3 Definitions - (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

Temporary Assignment - Performance of a temporary job assignment intended to return an injured employee to work at less than his or her full duties when a serious injury or serious medical condition prevents the employee from working full duty. Temporary assignments are limited to six months at the same pay, beyond six months; the program will be reviewed in assistance of CDH CONSULTING management to determine the next best course of action. Temporary assignments are modified duty and alternative duty.Modified Duty - Modified duty allows the employee to return to employment in his/her regular job and perform all of the essential functions of the position and those nonessential duties and tasks that are within the capabilities of the employee, given the restrictions imposed by the treating health care provider. Modified duty is a temporary arrangement until the injured employee can resume full duty. If during the course of the modified duty assignment or after six (6) months, whichever is sooner, it is determined that the employee has permanent restrictions, the program will be reviewed in assistance of CDH CONSULTING management to determine the next best course of action.Alternative Duty - Alternative duty allows the employee to temporarily perform the essential functions of a job and other nonessential duties and tasks, within the restrictions prescribed by the treating health care provider, other than the position for which the individual is employed (regular full-time position). Such alternative duty may be physically located in the same employing department or in a hosting department. Alternative duty is a temporary arrangement until the injured employee can resume full activities of his/her regular job or until an alternate duty position is no longer needed.

21.3 General Requirements - CDH CONSULTING provides modified work opportunities to injured employees, whenever practicable. Modified work should be offered, wherever possible, to employees who are unable to return to their regular duties following a workplace injury or illness. The benefits of offering modified duty include, but are not limited to, reduced workers compensation costs, improved employee retention, enhanced employee morale, reduction in lost time days, and a strengthening of the CDH Consulting's relationship with its employees. Modified work should be meaningful to the employee and CDH CONSULTING, and consistent with work restrictions outlined by the treatment provider.If the health care provider states that the employee cannot perform any temporary assignments/ modified duties, CDH CONSULTING may challenge the decision depending on the injury and request independent medical information. (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

Employee Reporting ResponsibilitiesAn employee who is a candidate or participant in a modified or alternative duty temporary job assignment under the Safe Return to Work program is responsible for reporting to the workers compensation carrier any employment or income earned while performing modified or alternative duty if required by the workers compensation carrier.An employee participating in the safe Return to Work program must provide his/her supervisor with medical documentation accounting for all absences due to the injury/illness within one day of any absence from work, or face disciplinary action.Non-RetaliationRetaliation against an individual for in good faith filing a request or making a claim under this or related policies, for instituting or causing to be instituted any proceeding under local regulatory guidelines or federal anti-discrimination or anti-retaliation laws, for testifying in an investigation or proceeding, or for otherwise opposing discriminatory or retaliatory actions or practices will not be tolerated. Retaliation by any CDH CONSULTING employee is a violation of this policy. Nothing in this procedure should be interpreted as not requiring an individual to report suspected acts of discrimination or retaliation to the individual he or she believes is engaging in discriminatory or retaliatory conduct.All Documentation Related to an Incident is Maintained by CDH CONSULTINGCDH CONSULTING should maintain written records of incident details. This will help CDH CONSULTING recall information about the circumstances of the incident at a later time, and will demonstrate due diligence. Incident investigation records should be maintained. Records should be kept of communications with the injured employee regarding modified work. Workers compensation and medical records, where applicable, should also be maintained.

21.4 How Local Health Care Providers Are Made Aware That CDH CONSULTING Provides Modified Work to Employees Who Are Unable to Perform Their Regular Duties (check each to acknowledge your understanding):

Local health care providers should be advised that CDH CONSULTING provides modified work to injured employees, whenever practicable. This may be accomplished proactively making arrangements with clinics that specialize in occupational health, and recommending injured employees seek treatment there. If/when this is not practicable, a standard letter should be drafted that outlines the CDH Consulting's modified work opportunities. Injured employees should take this letter with them when they visit their health care provider.Modified work provided to injured employees must be consistent with restrictions provided by the health care provider. CDH CONSULTING must ensure that modified work being offered is consistent with the medical restrictions listed by the health care provider. Workers must ensure that changes in the scope of the modified work must adhere to the medical restrictions. Modified work is temporary and should be managed with a goal to return the individual to full time work as soon as deemed medically fit.The employee's health care provider must review and certify that the employee can perform the essential functions defined in a modified (temporary assignment) job description. If the health care provider changes the temporary assignment position description, the employing/hosting department must determine if the change is acceptable. The health care provider must approve any changes proposed by the hosting department.The employee must obtain the appropriate forms from the Safety Manager or Human Resources to be completed by his/her health care provider at each visit or every 30 days, whichever is sooner, for assessment of the employee's ability to perform the functions of the temporary assignment position. The employee is required to submit the work status form (or suitable replacement) to his/her supervisor within one working day following each visit to his/her health care provider.
