Fire and Disaster Programs
Employees should be familiar with fire and disaster plans detailing exit routes and the specific responsibilities of
employees in the event of fire or other disaster. Employees should report to management any blocked passageways or
doors and always properly store flammable materials. Any questions concerning the plans should be referred to the
employee's supervisor or an Employee Services representative.
Motor Vehicle Safety and Usage
Some of the Company's employees drive Company-owned or leased vehicles or personal vehicles on Company business.
Employees driving Company-owned or leased vehicles must use them for Company business only unless the subject
employee is designated "on call." The designated "on call" periods shall be considered Company business periods. All
employees driving Company or personal vehicles on Company business must exercise safe and defensive driving skills at
all times and obey all applicable motor vehicle laws and regulations. Any accidents or injuries must be reported to the
supervisor or an
Employee Services representative immediately.
Each driver must:
• Possess a valid driver's license for the state of residency and the type of motor vehicle driven and have an
acceptable driving record as determined by the Company.
• Be in a legally fit and safe condition while driving, including compliance with any applicable medical testing
requirements.
• Use, and require all occupants to use, seat belts and harnesses, air bags and other safety equipment provided with
the vehicle.
• Comply with Company drug and alcohol policy as well as all applicable laws.
• Never transport unauthorized passengers while on or off Company business.
• Observe and obey all parking ordinances, speed limits, traffic signals and other laws governing the operation of
motor vehicles.
• Inspect and maintain Company owned or leased vehicles in clean and safe working order and in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
• Meet insurability standards set by the Company's insurance carrier. Drivers who use their personal vehicles for
company business must maintain adequate insurance coverage as established by the Company and may be
required to provide proof of insurance upon request. The Company does not insure employees against claims for
damages resulting from the use of their personal vehicles in the course of employment. Any claims for damages
resulting from the operation of the employee's personal vehicle in the course of employment should be submitted
to his or her own automobile insurance carrier. See Proof of Insurance Policy for more details.
• All tickets or fines for parking and traffic violations are the responsibility of the employee, not the Company. The
employee must contest or pay all fines promptly, consistent with applicable law. Employees should report any
parking or traffic violations to their supervisor.
In the case of an accident while driving a Company owned or leased vehicle, the employee should promptly report the
matter to local authorities, his/her direct supervisor, and the Company's automobile insurance carrier. The employee is
expected to cooperate in completing any necessary accident report forms.
