        contact your supervisor.

        Safety is the responsibility of every employee. Sound judgment and safe practices must be exercised in the work habits of
        all employees. All employees must utilize safety equipment where applicable: this includes clothing, safeguards, safety
        appliances, or devices furnished for protection. All employees must wear suitable clothing for the type of work being
        performed. Employees must comply with all fire protection and prevention practices. All employees must comply with all
        laws, rules, policies, guidelines and regulations regarding safety.

        Employees who observe an unsafe condition, equipment or practice, should report them immediately to the employee's
        supervisor. All on-the-job accidents or injuries to employees, no matter how small, should also be reported immediately
        to the employee's supervisor. Employees must complete all required reports of injury regardless of how minor the injury
        may appear to be. Any questions regarding safety should be directed to the employee's immediate supervisor or an
        Employee Services or
        Safety representative.

        In compliance with California law, and to promote the concept of a safe workplace, the Company maintains an Injury and
        Illness  Prevention  Program. The Injury and Illness  Prevention Program is available for review by  employees and/or
        employee representatives in the general manager's office. In compliance with California's Proposition 65, the Company
        will inform employees of any known exposure to a chemical known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.
