1. SCOPE

This policy applies to Schneider Electric North American Division and its subsidiaries and affiliates in North America (referred to collectively in this policy as “Schneider Electric”). Schneider Electric has prepared this Contractor Safety & Environmental Program to provide specific guidelines for determining the suitability of service providers relative to safety, health and environmental (SH&E) performance. This program applies to the following specific service providers:

 Equipment installation or repair companies  Electrical Services Companies  Rigging/Crane Companies  Building construction or repair companies  HVAC service and repair  Mechanical and Plumbing installation and repair  Food service organizations  Custodial service companies 2  Any other contractor or subcontractor used on site

Service providers contracted directly to Schneider Electric are evaluated and selected using the guidelines established in this Program. Each contractor utilized by Schneider Electric is evaluated to determine adherence to the intent and compliance with the requirements of this program. Contractor personnel at the site must comply with all applicable SH&E regulations and Schneider Electric’s SH&E policies and procedures.

2. PROCEDURE

This section describes the process for bidding and performing work for Schneider Electric. Service providers (as listed in the Scope) that will perform work on our site are subject to the requirements detailed in this section. The process of managing the Contractor Safety & Environmental Procedure is divided into three steps: A. Approval, B. Orientation, and C. Training, followed by audits. Each of these steps is described below.

A. Safety & Environmental Approval of Contractors Each Contractor is reviewed and approved before being allowed to bid work that will be contracted directly to Schneider Electric. Approval consists of the following steps:

1) Each prospective Contractor is provided a copy of the Contractor Safety & Environmental Program and instructed to complete and submit the following:  Contractor Approval Checklist (Attachment B)  Contractor Safety Information Data Sheet (Attachment C)  Contractor Site Safety Representative (Attachment D) 2) The Contractor completes the required forms and submits these along with a copy of any specific written safety programs that will be used as part of the work (i.e., hazard communication, lockout/tagout, confined spaces, etc.) 3) The Schneider Electric representative (Safety & Environmental Mgr., Plant Engineer, Project Supervisor, etc.) reviews each Contractor’s submittal to determine if the company meets the minimum criteria for approval. Approval is based on the following:  Workers’ Compensation Experience Modification Rating (EMR) of 1.0 or less.  OSHA Recordable of less than 10.0 and Lost Time Accident frequency rates less than 3.0.  Hold Harmless Agreement from Contractor. (Attachment J)  Certificates of Insurance for WC, Auto, and General Liability (Attachment J)  Contractor Safety Programs contain the following: Safety & Environmental Policy Environmental Awareness (General) Hazard Communication/WHMIS Safety Rule Enforcement Employee Rights & Responsibilities Housekeeping Employee Access to Employee- Infectious Control Exposure and Medical Records Accident Reporting & Investigation Machine Guarding Alcohol and Drug policy 3 Material Handling (Manual Lifting) Unsafe Act/Condition Reporting Driving Safety Parking Lot Safety Electrical Safety Personal Protective Equipment Emergency Procedures Fall Prevention Ergonomics Lockout/Tagout

Where applicable, the programs should also include: Confined Spaces Hearing Conservation Respiratory Protection Industrial Truck Operations Electrical Safety Work-Related Practices

 For Contractors renewing approval, review of completed Contractor Job Site Safety Checklist forms indicates positive findings during previous work.  Compliance with any additional site-specific SH&E requirements (Attachment A).  Understanding that all jobs bid will include an on-site supervisor.  Contractor will supply all necessary tools and equipment for the job. Schneider Electric tools and equipment will not be used by the contractor except in an emergency situation where human life is in danger. 4) Following the review, the Schneider Electric representative notifies the Contractor regarding the result of the approval process using the Letter of Approval form (Attachment F). 5) Each Contractor must renew approval at the beginning of each calendar year. With each bid, the Contractor submits a copy of the Letter of Approval (to verify prior approval) and an updated Contractor Site Safety Representative (Attachment E) form. When approval expires, the process outlined above is repeated.

B. Contractor Orientation

1) Prior to beginning work, the Contractor Site Safety Representative receives an orientation briefing from the Schneider Electric representative regarding requirements for working at the site. This briefing would include the following:  Emergency Contact Information  All work on site requires the contractor to provide an on-site supervisor.  All work performed on-site will be with contractor’s tools and equipment. Schneider Electric tools and equipment will not be used.  Site Smoking Policy  Site Housekeeping Requirements  Parking and Site Access Restrictions  Schneider Electric’s Safety &Environmental Rules and Practices (Location SH&E Handbook)  Overview of the plant Environment policy including management of all generated wastes. 4  Overview of Zero Tolerance Policy regarding harassment and use of alcohol and/or drugs  Emergency response information (alarm signals, location of shelter areas, etc.)  Notification requirements regarding accidents, incidents and near misses  Requirements regarding use of chemicals at the site and means of obtaining a Material Safety Data Sheet.  Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while on the site  Required permits for performing the work and means of obtaining permits, i.e. hot work permit.  Use of ladders, scaffolding or rigging.  Fall protection policy at heights of 6 feet or higher.  Requirements regarding lockout/tagout  Electrical safety requirements, including no live work and appropriate PPE.  Location and hazards of confined spaces in the vicinity of the work area(s)  Use of electrical equipment and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)  If there are any hazardous materials, i.e. PCBs or ACM’s, or noise control areas in the building.

Site-specific requirements regarding these items are outlined on the attached Contractor Orientation Checklist (Attachment D). The Contractor’s Site Safety Representative is responsible for training all onsite Contractor personnel in these and other site-specific requirements.

2) Contract Administration

Once work has begun, the onsite activity of each Contractor performing work for Schneider Electric is periodically reviewed to document compliance with provisions of the safety program. The Schneider Electric representative performs this review using the Contractor Job Site Safety Checklist (Attachment G). These reviews are performed according to the schedule presented below.

Project Duration Review Schedule Up to one day . Immediately prior to the conclusion of the work Up to one week . At least once during the work . At the conclusion of the work More than one week . At least twice during the first week of work . At least once per additional week of work . At the conclusion of the work Ongoing . At least once per month 5 For work that lasts one week or more, the Contractor must submit a report of onsite activities to the Schneider Electric representative using the Contractor Safety Report form (Attachment H).

The results of each review are communicated to the Contractor Site Safety Representative for corrective action. Results of these reviews are considered when determining whether to renew or maintain approval for the Contractor.

3) Withdrawing Approval for a Contractor

Schneider Electric reserves the right to terminate any approved Contractor for failure to comply with site rules and regulations and/or to correct unsafe conditions or practices.

Schneider Electric reserves the right to remove any approved Contractor from the “Approved Contractor List” for failure to comply with established safety rules and regulations or for allowing an unsafe condition to exist in the workplace. Upon correction of the deficiency, the Contractor’s name may be reinstated on the “Approved Contractor List.” Additionally, Schneider Electric reserves the right to terminate any agreement according to the terms and conditions of such agreement.

C. Training

The Schneider Electric Representative, during a Toolbox meeting, will communicate to Schneider Electric employees the requirements of the Contractor Safety &Environmental Program as well as any potential hazards introduced to their work area by the Contractor.

Employees who are involved in the evaluation process must be knowledgeable regarding the specific work that is to be performed. For example, employees who are qualified under the electrical safe work practices would review Contractor electrical safety programs.

Employees who perform reviews of the Contractor’s onsite activities shall be trained to recognize hazardous conditions and to complete the Contractor Job Site Safety Checklist (Attachment G).

All training shall be documented using the Contractor Safety Program Training Log (Attachment I).

3. DEFINITIONS

A. Contractor: A business that is in contract with Schneider Electric to perform a service or provide a product. B. Experience Modification Rate (EMR): An evaluation of a company’s last three full years of workers’ compensation losses based upon payroll amount and their Standard Industrial Clas- sification (SIC) Code. This evaluation compares the anticipated losses for a particular firm versus the actual losses experienced by the firm. An EMR of 1.0 means that actual losses were equal to anticipated losses. 6 C. Hazardous Conditions: Any existing or potential condition in the workplace, which, by it- self or by interacting with other variables, can result in deaths, injuries, property damage, or other losses. D. Lost-Time Accident Frequency Rate: The number of lost workday cases per 100 employees. These cases include recordable injuries that involve days away from work. To determine the frequency rate, multiply the total number of cases by 200,000 and divide the answer by the total employee hours worked. E. OSHA Recordable Injury Frequency Rate: The number of OSHA recordable injuries per 100 employees. These injuries include all work-related deaths and illnesses and those work- related injuries that result in loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or medical treatment beyond first aid. To determine the frequency rate, multiply the total number of recordable cases by 200,000 and divide the answer by the total employee hours worked. F. SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code: Classification system used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which groups business operations under a two, three or four-digit code. The Bureau associates vital statistics with each defined code. Injury rates compiled by the Bureau and associated with particular industries are used as baselines for determining performance against similar workplaces.

The consent of Square D Company to the insurance and limits shown above shall not be considered as a limitation of Contractor’s liability under this Agreement nor an Agreement by Square D Company to assume liability in excess of said amounts or for risks not insured hereunder. Failure of Contractor to maintain complete insurance does not lessen Contractor’s liability and may be deemed a material breach allowing Square D Company to terminate this Agreement.
