Ghilotti Construction Company Crisis Management – Field Response

In the event of a major crisis or incident, the following guidelines are established to assist field personnel who are the first individuals on the scene. The first, and most important, action to be taken is to remain calm, and then take the following steps necessary to provide for the protection of life and property: Checklist:

Call 911 and request the applicable emergency services needed. If anyone is injured, and you are trained and certified, administer First Aid. Secure the site. Your Leadman should assist with securing the job site and directing all field personnel to

the designated area (away from the media). Contact the following individuals (order of contact):

Brian Ongaro, Senior VP of Operations (707) 953-9624 1Julie Thornton, Claims & Safety Director (707) 480-4812 2Area Superintendents

Jess Todd (707) 953-2843 Nick Basich (707) 953-4236 Ralph Ardito (707) 953.9602

Instruct all field personnel to refrain from talking to the Media. If questioned by legitimate authorities (Police, Fire, OSHA, etc.), they should cooperate, but keep their answers confined to the facts known.

If approached by the media, you may stress the following (example wording):

“We are working to get the situation under control and can not respond to any questions at this time.”

“The company designated spokesperson will be able to respond to any questions, after the situation is secured and the facts are gathered.”

NEVER release the name(s) of injured individuals to the Media.

As with all incidents, take pictures and obtain names and contact information on witnesses and involved parties. Document all relevant details to include responding authorities.

1 The Claims & Safety Director will be responsible for contacting the Equipment Manager and CalOSHA, as applicable 2 The Area Superintendent will be responsible for contacting the Project Manager Crisis_Management_Field_Response_073106 Foreman Procedure Manual – Section 1.2

Ghilotti Construction Company Drug Testing Facilities

GCC REQUIRES POST-ACCIDENT DRUG TESTING ON ALL EMPLOYEES. If the employee is at-fault, or liability is questionable, drug testing is mandatory. Please contact Julie at (707) 480-4812 to advise location of testing facility. IMPORTANT NOTE: When directing the employee to a facility for testing, if there is 1reasonable suspicion that the employee may be intoxicated and or under the influence of a substance, the employee should not be permitted to drive (provide transportation, as appropriate). Preferred locations for post-accident drug testing (please call ahead for directions):

Concentra Medical Centers (8am to 5pm)

Rohnert Park – 6174 State Farm Drive (707) 586-4320 Richmond – 2970 Hilltop Mall Road, Ste 203 (510) 222-8000 Oakland – 384 Embarcadero West (510) 465-9565

ADTS – Rohnert Park (707) 588-1234 ADTS – Ukiah (707) 463-1230 Kaiser Occupational Centers

San Rafael – 99 Montecillo Road (415) 444-2900 Vacaville – 3700 Vaca Valley Pwky (707) 453-5515 Petaluma – 3900 Lakeville Hwy (707) 765-3940

ON-SITE (Drug) Testing/Post-Accident (707) 588-1234 (OPTIONAL) Foremen: Contact Julie Thornton or the Job Superintendent before scheduling ON-SITE to perform the drug test. Not all locations can be accommodated due to distance and or time of day. 1. Contact ON-SITE Medical Testing @ (800) 564-9152 2. Upon arrival, the examiner will “dry room” the facility (blue room) 3. The Foreman/Superintendent will notify the employee to conduct testing 4. The examiner administers the collection. Using a Rapid Drug Screen device, results will be acquired within 10

minutes. If the test is NEGATIVE, the results are recorded on a test form and the employee is released. The employee should report to the Foreman/Superintendent with the negative test result.

5. If a negative result is not provided to the employee, the examiner will leave with the specimen for continued processing and confirmation to be provided to GCC designated personnel.

6. Employees that do not receive a confirmed-negative result when the test is performed will not be permitted to continue working. • Employees should be advised by the Foreman/Superintendent:

“Until a negative test result is provided, they will not be permitted to work.” • Employees should arrange to be picked-up from the job site, or taken home if necessary. • Employees will be paid based on union requirements, for the day work was performed. • If a negative test result is confirmed by the Medical Review Officer and the employee had not been permitted to

work, the employee will be entitled to full pay for the days missed. • If the test is determined to be positive, the employee is not entitled to be paid for the missed time (except for the

day the accident occurred), and the appropriate process for addressing positive test results will be initiated.

1 Reasonable suspicion means suspicion based on specific personal observations that the employer representative can describe concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or the breath odor of the employee (where the odor is detected in addition to appearance, behavior, or speech). Suspicion is not reasonable, and thus not a basis for testing, if it is based solely on the observations and reports of third parties.

Ghilotti Construction Company Time Sheet Procedures

GENERAL INFORMATION

Documentation of the daily occurrence on your job is a vital part of project reporting. This information starts with the field and can only be accurately documented by the Project Foreman. Foremen are required to provide a detailed daily time sheet with an accurate listing of employees and their hours, equipment and the equipment hours, quantities, materials, subcontractors, and rentals. It is also necessary to record your time sheet with a diary of the work performed and all occurrences taking place on your jobsite on a daily basis, to include the condition of the jobsite at the end of the day (i.e. condition of the job site to include matters of safety). Your time sheet is not just a source for payroll purposes; it is utilized as back-up support justifying contract and change order work billings to owners as well as back charges to other companies. In addition to billing support, the time sheets are legal documents supporting our company should any claims arise. Important Reminders: • Sign the Time Sheet on the line provided. • Make sure your Time Sheet correctly reflects the employee’s working for you. • All Supervisors are required to turn in time sheets to the main office on a DAILY basis. Friday, Saturday

and “Lingering” time sheets are due by the end of the day on Monday. Processing will take place on Tuesday (no exceptions). To allow for internal processing requirements (bank deadlines), input is not possible on Tuesday mornings.

If you have any questions, or would like additional training, feel free to contact the VP/Operations Manager, Brian Ongaro. Following are the procedures necessary for creating an accurate time sheet. Some of the information will be pre-printed, but it is your responsibility to ensure that the information is accurate. JOB & DATE INFORMATION

1. JOB NUMBER: The “Job Number” must be documented. It is not necessary to document the name of the job. If you are unaware of the “Job Number,” contact the Area Manager Assistant or the Area Manager.

2. WEATHER: Report the weather conditions for the day.

3. DATE: There have been many instances where an incorrect date has been documented. Verify the date recorded is correct.

4. DAY: The day of the week should be indicated. Make sure it is correct.

5. START TIME: Record the start time of your entire crew on this line. Should any of your employees report to the jobsite at a different time, notate this information on your time sheet. A brief explanation should be reference in your diary.

6. DAY/NIGHT: An appropriate check under “Day” or “Night” is required.

The following is a view of the time sheet section the above procedures apply to. Reference each by their corresponding number:

1. Job No: 2. Weather: 3. Date: 4. Day: 5. Start Time: 6. Day Night

PHASE NUMBER INFORMATION 1. ITEM NUMBER: List the “CORRECT” phase number ONLY as it applies to the work performed as

shown in the diagram below. Receipt of a time sheet referencing a description of the item number instead of the actual number is incorrect. If you have not received the project budget, contact either the Area Manager’s Assistant or the Area Manager immediately.

2. CHANGE ORDER NUMBER (C.O.): List the “CORRECT” c.o. number as it applies to the work performed in the specific section. A list of the project c.o. numbers together with the description may be obtained from the Area Manager’s Assistant. All NEW change order numbers must be acquired immediately and no later than the end of the work day from the Area Manager’s Assistant. The Area Manager’s Assistant will issue an updated list of the project c.o. numbers with descriptions to the Project Foreman at the end of the week or at the request of the Foreman. This list will only be issued if there has been activity or changes.

If you are unaware of the assigned equipment number for equipment located on your jobsite, contact Dispatch or the Equipment Department and we will provide you with the correct number.

The following is a view of the time sheet section the above procedures apply to. Reference each by their corresponding number:

Name (1) Craft (2) Equip No. (3) 9646 Foreman, Joe O-F PT99 9216 Laborer, Joe L FT99 9016 Teamster, Joe T TT99/TRA99 9928 Carpenter, Joe CP-A

REPORTING HOURS

1. LABOR HOURS: Allocate all labor hours for each employee by placing the number of hours under the item or change order number box which work was performed. It is also the Foreman’s responsibility to indicate where overtime hours should be applied. This may be done by reporting the “number of overtime hours” in the upper left corner of the box, a “slash” in the center of the box, and the “number of straight time hours” in the bottom right corner of the box, and a “0” in the bottom right corner of the box (as referenced in our diagram under “Item Number 30-10-600” on the following page). Each of the employee’s total hours reported must calculate correctly with the number of hours allocated in the item/c.o. number(s) box. For those employees performing work at more than one jobsite, it is required by all Foremen to document this on his timesheet by reporting the employee as “See Job 5001”.

If you are utilizing one of GCC’s Teamsters, be sure to collect his time sheet (copy of the GCC Teamster Time Sheet) at the end of the day. It will be the responsibility of the Project foreman to assign the time/c.o. number(s) for work performed by the Teamster. The Foreman shall list the Teamster and the equipment operated on his time sheet (as he does with all workers on his crew). The time card completed by the Teamster will be submitted as a back-up tag together with all other tags and turned in to the Area Manager with your time sheet. It is the responsibility of the Teamster to track load counts, tag numbers of material loads and/or dumps and tonnage amounts per load from origination to destination on his time card report. The Foreman is required to document this information on his time sheet under “Daily Quantities, Materials & Rentals” (please refer to Section 5 for further instruction). If the Teamster is not being utilized at your jobsite for the entire day, please confirm with the Teamster the number of hours being charged to your project and record his next destination or his origination (i.e. See Job 5001) on your time sheet. The Teamster will sign out and submit his time card to you and will begin a new time card for his next task and/or new jobsite. It will not be the responsibility of the Foreman to track GCC Teamsters transporting equipment to the various jobsites. The Teamster will be responsible to track the total number of hours together with the jobsite he has delivered equipment to. The Teamster will then turn his time card into Dispatch for approval and processing.

Any Foreman utilizing an Operating Engineer Apprentice is required to document “when” and “why” (i.e. weather, personal, doctor appointment, car problems, ill, etc) his apprentice is absent for any part of the workday.


REPORTING HOURS - CONTINUED

2. EQUIPMENT HOURS: It is REQUIRED to list all equipment by its assigned equipment number, UTILIZED OR NOT, on your time sheet. Refer to the following guidelines for “Available” and “Stand-by” Equipment: “Available” Equipment: • “Available” means a specific piece of equipment is no longer needed on the job. • If you have equipment that becomes “Available” at your jobsite, contact Dispatch immediately. • With equipment that is Available, hours do not need to be charged to the machine, but expect it to be

moved out at anytime. • If it is “Available” document it on your time sheet and Work Schedule. “Stand-by” Equipment: • “Stand-by” means a specific piece of equipment is not needed until a later date (i.e. whether it is 1 day

or 1 month). • If you have equipment that is on “Stand-by” notify Dispatch immediately on the duration of its idle

time. • For equipment that is on Standby, a minimum of 4-hours must be charged. • For Rental Equipment that is on Stand-by, a minimum of 8-hours must be charged (unless Damon

Calegari has arranged an hourly agreement with the rental agency). • If it is “Standby” document it on your time sheet and Work Schedule.

When ordering GCC vehicles, you must let Dispatch know who is driving the vehicle. Not only will the employee be matched up with the vehicle on the time sheet, but this will also help us know who is responsible for which vehicle.

Time_Sheet_Procedures Foreman Procedure Manual – Section 5.2

REPORTING QUANTITIES, MATERIALS & RENTALS 1. QUANTITIES: IMPORTANT! When reporting quantities for each item of work, refer to the project

budget. The “Unit of Measure” reported MUST match the “Unit of Measure” specified in the budget. Foremen are REQUIRED to report quantities on their time sheet DAILY. Document this information on the row entitled “Daily Quantities” under the box available for each item number shown in the diagram below. It is not necessary to report quantities for change order work, although, if you are aware that the work performed completes the scope of that change order, indicate this by documenting “100%” under the quantity box for that change order number. When reporting quantities for rental trucking and GCC Teamster trucking, be sure to separate the total amount reported by the GCC Teamster from the total amount reported for the rental.

2. MATERIALS: All materials either received or ordered is REQUIRED to be reported on your time sheet DAILY. Materials received are to be listed by the vendor name, a brief description of the material, the total quantity amount and the tag number. (It will not be necessary to list tag numbers for numerous material receipts by the same vendor). It is necessary to indicate which item/change order number(s) are to be charged for the material by placing an “X” in the appropriate item/change order number box. If the cost for materials is to be split by 2 or more item/c.o. numbers, document the exact quantity amount in the appropriate item/c.o. box under the header listing the vendor and material information. FOREMEN ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ALL BACK-UP TAGS TOGETHER WITH TIME SHEETS ON A DAILY BASIS. Back-up tags are also to be documented with the item/c.o. numbers (consistent with the information provided on your time sheet) for application of costs.

3. RENTALS: Document all rentals consistent with material documentation by listing the rental company, a brief description of the rental and the tag number. Indicate the appropriate item/c.o. number(s) to be charged for this rental. It the cost of the rental is to be split by 2 or more item/c.o. numbers, document the length of rental time (i.e. hours, days, amounts, etc.) under each item/c.o. numbers on your time sheet. This information is also required to be documented on the back-up tag supplied by the rental company. Document your time sheet with the broker name as well as “How Many” and “What Type” of trucks. When reporting the trucking quantities, be sure to match the units. It the trucker is to be paid per ton, document the quantity of tons (excluding the GCC tonnage). If it is per hour, document the hours (excluding the GCC hours). The same applies if the trucker is paid per load (also address in Section 4 under labor Hours of this procedure manual). It is also extremely important to document the sign-out time on each trucker tag (the actual time the truck was signed-out).

When entering a jobsite to perform an investigation, the investigator must follow applicable safety rules and policies, and must never enter into a trench, confined space, or work area unless it is safe to do so. Incident Procedures: 1. Investigate Immediately

A thorough investigation of any accident or utility damage must include an examination of the events leading up to the incident.

Was there a locate request? Was there a miss-locate? Were the marks removed or did they fade away? Did the operator maintain the proper tolerance zone? Was the depth of the line verified before digging? Were crossing lines potholed in advance? Did the utility line veer off course due to an underground obstruction?

2. Document Details

All information should be collected in a timely manner, clearly documented, legible, accurate, and factual. Pictures should be taken at the site to document the damage (use a sign board to document the

location in the picture) The location of marks in relation to the trench, and any other conditions should be documented Obtain the following information:

Date & Time Location One-call Ticket

Number

Type of Facility Owner of Facility Locator Name (if known) Investigator for Owner

Name of repair technicians

Inspect the site to determine the types of markings (paint, flags, stakes, whiskers) used to identify the facilities in the area

Make a judgment about the accuracy of the marks and the quality of the marks Make a record (diagram) of all the pictures and the direction in which each picture was taken. Use a measuring devise with large numbers to document the actual depth and location Determine the size and type of facility that was hit and the extent of the damage, if possible Determine if surrounding businesses, homes, etc. were affected by the damaged utility

Competent Person Responsibility:

The designated Competent Person must be on site to identify hazards at all times. If the Competent Person finds evidence of a hazard, workers must be removed from the dangerous area. No employee is to be permitted to enter a trench or excavation unless the Competent Person is on site. The following minimum guidelines have been established:

An inspection must be completed at the beginning of each shift in order to identify any new hazards and or changes in the classification of soil. Document any adjustments on the daily time sheet.

Routine visual inspections must be completed throughout the shift. When unsure of the correct soil classification and/or type of protection required, contact Tom

Woosley, the Area Superintendent, or Brian Ongaro immediately. As appropriate, the services of an independent soils engineer will be obtained.

If you are placed in charge of jobsite activities, even if only temporarily, and you do not feel you have received the appropriate training to meet the definition of a Competent Person, please speak to your supervisor or Brian Ongaro immediately. Any employee left in charge of a jobsite must be educated and be able to respond appropriately in the event of any identified hazardous condition or practice.

Trenching/Excavation Checklist:

For designated projects (to be established by Safety Committee), a GCC Trenching/Excavation Checklist must be completed on a daily basis and turned in with the daily time sheet for recordkeeping. The checklist will be attached to the daily time sheet by dispatch for designated projects. At a minimum, the information outlined on the checklist must be evaluated daily, and as hazards change, for all trenching operations.

Trenching_SOP_0705 Foreman Procedure Manual – Section 9.1

Ghilotti Construction Company Competent Person (Cal/OSHA Requirements)

Cal/OSHA Construction Safety Orders define “Competent Person” as:

“One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.” (§1504)

The term “Competent Person” is used in many Cal/OSHA standards. In a broad sense a Competent Person is an individual who, through training and/or experience, is:

Knowledgeable of applicable standards, Capable of identifying site specific workplace hazards, Designated by the employer, and Has authority to take appropriate corrective actions

With respect to trench and excavation exposures, Cal/OSHA requires that site evaluations and safety provisions be carried out by a Competent Person. Under Cal/OSHA Policies and Procedures, a Competent Person may be interviewed by a Cal/OSHA inspector to determine whether that person has knowledge of:

The Title 8 requirements for excavations, trenches and earthwork, Use of protective systems, Soil analysis as required in Title 8 provisions pertaining to trenches, excavations, and earthwork, and Ability to recognize and test for hazardous atmospheres

Knowledge and ability will be demonstrated through training or experience, and by performance, as follows:

Training shall be determined by furnishing a copy of a certificate, a letter or other written evidence, indicating completion of competent person training conducted by the employer, an employer association, or third party trainer, or

Experience shall be determined by asking the designated competent person to satisfactorily demonstrate that they have acquired the requisite knowledge and ability through previous experience, and

Performance shall be determined by an evaluation of whether the competent person has been given the required authority and has fulfilled the responsibilities of the competent person.

To comply with training requirements, all Leadmen, Foremen, and Superintendents must complete the required ClickSafety training (or classroom training) to meet the definition of a “Competent Person.” The designated Competent Person must be on site to identify hazards. If the Competent Person finds evidence of a hazard, workers must be removed from the dangerous area. No employee is to be permitted to enter a trench or excavation unless the Competent Person is on site. For designated projects (to be established by Safety Committee), a GCC Trenching Checklist must be completed on a daily basis and turned in with the daily Time Sheet for recordkeeping. The Checklist will be attached to the daily Time Sheet by dispatch for designated projects. At a minimum, the information outlined on the checklist must be evaluated, daily and as hazards change, for all trenching operations.

If you are placed in charge of job site activities, even if only temporarily, and you do not feel you have received the appropriate training to meet the definition of a Competent Person, please speak to your supervisor or Brian Ongaro immediately. Any employee left in charge of a jobsite must be educated and be able to respond appropriately in the event of any identified hazardous condition or practice.

Ghilotti Construction Company Utility Delineation & Excavation Guidelines

USA must be contacted 48-hours (2 working days) before excavation begins.

1. Outline your excavation area with white paint [4216.2 (a)] 2. Call USA two working days before you dig [4216.2 (a)] 3. USA will notify its members of your excavation [4216.2 (c)] 4. The USA members will provide information about, mark, or stake the horizontal path of their

facilities, or will advise of clearance [4216.3 (a)] 5. Expose the underground facilities before using power equipment [4216.4]

4216.4. (a) The excavator shall determine the exact location of subsurface installations in conflict with the excavation by excavating with hand tools within the area of the approximate location of subsurface installations as determined by the field marking provided in accordance with Section 4216.3 before using any power-operated or power-driven excavating or boring equipment within the approximate location of the subsurface installation, except that power-operated or power-driven excavating or boring equipment may be used for the removal of any existing pavement if there are no subsurface installations contained in the pavement. If documented notice of the intent to use vacuum excavation devices, or power-operated or power-driven excavating or boring equipment, has been provided to the subsurface installation operator or operators and it is mutually agreeable with the operator or operators and the excavator, the excavator may utilize vacuum excavation devices, or power-operated or power-driven excavating or boring equipment within the approximate location of a subsurface installation and to any depth. (b) If the exact location of the subsurface installation cannot be determined by hand excavating in accordance with subdivision (a), the excavator shall request the operator to provide additional information to the excavator, to the extent that information is available to the operator, to enable the excavator to determine the exact location of the installation.

6. Keep the USA request number to validate your excavation permit [4216.9 (a)]

General Excavation Information (Provided by USA North/Dig Safely Guidelines):

• Prior to starting an excavation, examine the excavation site for physical evidence (manholes, valve covers, water meters, sewer cleanouts, vaults, utility maintenance boxes, pole risers, etc) that would indicate the existence of underground facilities. Always excavate, as cautiously and prudently as possible.

• USA North accepts calls from excavation work on public or private property, on Military Bases, on Indigenous People’s Reservations and even on waterways within their covered territory.

• Limit your excavation location description to a site that can be completed within a 28 calendar day period that the members can reasonably locate within 2 working days.

• USA North limits excavation work to areas no longer in length than 1 ½ miles in a metropolitan area and 3 miles in a rural area.

• Dividing larger excavation areas into smaller manageable sites helps the members respond to the excavation site more promptly.

• When working on private property the excavator should determine what facilities belong to the property owner and what easements may exist on the property, if any. In general, ownership of underground facilities transfers to the property owner behind the curb, behind the sidewalk, clean out, at the meter or point of entry.

• USA North notifies only its members of the excavation work. Non-members should also be notified.

Excavation_Delineation_0906 Foreman Procedure Manual – Section 10.2

Five Steps to a Safe Excavation (Provided by USA North/Dig Safely Guidelines):

1. Survey and Mark: Survey the proposed excavation site. Make a list of affected operators of underground facilities (operators) at the job site, their needs and requirements. Mark the excavation site on paved surfaces with white spray chalk paint; use flags, stakes, whiskers, etc. on unpaved surfaces.

2. Call Before You Dig. 3. Wait the Required Time: The 2 working day notice allows USA North members to examine their

underground facility records and respond. 4. Respect the Marks: Maintain facility marks for the duration of the job. In any of the operator markings

are not reasonably visible, you must call USA North and request remarking. 5. Dig with Care: Facilities that are in conflict with the excavation are to be located and protected before

power equipment is used.

Damage Notification (Provided by USA North/Dig Safely Guidelines):

• An excavator discovering or causing damage to a subsurface installation shall notify the operator of the installation and USA North.

• USA North will provide the excavator with the emergency telephone number of the member(s) whose utilities were damaged.

Emergency Notification (Provided by USA North/Dig Safely Guidelines):

• If the damage results in the escape of any flammable, toxic, or corrosive gas or liquid or endangers life, health or property, the excavator responsible must immediately call 911 and notify the facility owner.

• The excavator must take reasonable measures to protect themselves and those in immediate danger, general public, property, and the environment until the facility owner/operator or emergency responders have arrived and completed their assessment.

Guidelines for Excavator’s Delineation (Provided by USA North/Dig Safely Guidelines):

Single Point Excavations Markings

The following are examples of marking illustrations of how excavators may choose to mark their area of proposed excavation. The use of white marking products (e.g. paint, flags, stakes, whiskers, or a combination of these) may be used to identify the excavation site.

Delineate the proposed area of excavation through the use of: a continuous line, dots marking the radius or arcs, dashes marking the four corners of the project or dashes outlining the excavation project. Limit the size of each dash to approximately 6” to 12” in length and 1” in width with interval spacing approximately 4’ to 50’ apart. The mazimum separation of excavation marks is to be reduced to a length that can be reasonably seen by the operator’s locators when the terrain or excavation side conditions warrant it.

Excavation_Delineation_0906 Foreman Procedure Manual – Section 10.2 Page 2 of 6

When an excavation site is contained within a 50’ maximum radius, or less, it can be delineated with a single stake that is positioned at the proposed center of the excavation. If the excavator chooses this type of delineation they must convey that they have delineated the excavation site with a single stake at the center of the excavation and include the radius of the site in the notification to the One-Call Center. The single stake is to be white in color with the following information:

excavator’s company identifier (name, abbreviations, or initials) and the radius of the excavation site in black letters on the stake or with a notice attached to the stake.

ing.

ke, flag or whisker.

Mark in white paint the proposed centerline of planned excavation 6” to 12” x 1” arrows, approximately 4’ to 50’ apart to show direction of excavation. The maximum separation of excavation marks is to be reduced to a length that can be reasonably seen by the operator’s locators when the terrain at an excavation site warrants it. Mark lateral excavations with occasional arrows showing excavation direction from centerline with marks at curb or property line if crossed. Dots may be used for curves and closer interval mark

Delineate the proposed area of excavation through the use of: stakes, flags or whiskers to mark radius or arcs, the four corners of the project or outlining the excavation project instead of using spray paint. Limit the interval spacing to approximately 4’ to 50’. The maximum separation of excavation marks is to be reduced to a length that can be reasonably seen by the operator’s locators when the terrain at an excavation site warrants it. Stakes, flags, or whiskers provide to illustrate arcs or radii

may be placed at closer intervals in order to define the arc or radius. Stakes, flags or whiskers are white in color with the excavator’s company identifier (name, abbreviations, or initials) provided on the sta Guidelines for Operator’s Facility Field Delineation (Provided by USA North/Dig Safely Guidelines):

Ghilotti Construction Company Supervising Field Personnel

It is common for a supervisor to achieve their position based on their knowledge and experience in a particular craft. All of a sudden a new supervisor can find himself or herself responsible for an entire crew, craft or department comprised of workers that used to be their peers. The new responsibilities not only include the multitude of duties associated with production, but also the safety of each and every worker that they supervise. They are in charge of orienting new employees, training new and existing employees, conducting safety meetings and safety inspections, performing thorough accident investigations and so on. Success in carrying out these duties requires a new set of skills. To help, the following action steps are offered as tools for enhancing supervisory skills: Communicating Performance Standards • Meet with your crew to review the duties of their job. Make sure these duties are clearly understood. • Discuss performance standards for each area of responsibly. • Get commitment by having the individual describe the steps he or she will take to meet the standards. • Ask for and respond to any questions or concerns. • Tell the individual that you have confidence in his or her ability to achieve the performance standards, and

encourage the him or her to ask you for any help, if needed. • Follow-up with the individual in order to address any areas of concern that may have arisen since your

original talk. Delegating Responsibility: • Indicate what new responsibly you want the employee to handle and why they are the right person for the

job. • Describe the new responsibility in detail, outlining the specific task, performance standards, and any

training procedures needed. • Don’t forget - to succeed, they need to be given the authority to be able to fulfill the responsibly. • Ask for questions and comments. • After dealing with any concerns, ask for a commitment and make it clear that you are available if help is

needed. • Remember, you can only delegate the duties. As a Supervisor, you still hold the responsibility to make

certain the task is done correctly, and safely. Dealing with Performance Problems: • Focus on the performance problem rather than on the individual’s personality or attitude. • Be prepared to clearly state the nature of the performance problem. • Express you confidence in the individual’s ability to correct the problem. • Praise the employee when the job performance has improved. • If improvement does not occur, disciplinary action will need to be taken.

Note: When dealing with problem employees, speak to the VP of Operations to determine an appropriate course of action for dealing with the individual.

Supervising_Employees_0906 Foreman Procedure Manual – Section 11.10

Ghilotti Construction Company Pre-Job Safety Planning

During construction projects, the work activity and site are constantly changing. New hazards are created with each new phase. This situation creates some unique and difficult challenges in the area of safety management. One of the best tools to help in meeting these challenges is Pre-Job Safety Planning. The chances of a successful result are increased if proper planning is used. Safety planning will ensure that safety is taken into account along with costs, schedules, quality, and other important goals. If it is not included in the planning stage, it is unlikely that safety will receive much consideration during the actual construction process. Planning for safety needs to start at the estimating phase. At Ghilotti Construction Company, the total bid budgets a reasonable amount of money for this function. Pre-Job Safety Planning Meeting: A pre-job meeting should be held after the contract is awarded and before the project begins. This meeting should be used to discuss the entire safety program and define responsibilities and any other special requirements for the job. The five main items to address in the meeting are: 1. Safety management strategies, 2. Specific hazards and controls, 3. Subcontractor requirements, 4. Job hazard analysis, and 5. Extra safety supplies needed for the project Safety Management Strategies: • Training: Training is the most important aspect of your program and is required by OSHA. Training begins

with a thorough employee safety orientation. The orientation should include general information needed for every employee at the jobsite.

• Safety Inspections: A safety self-inspection program is necessary to ensure that unsafe conditions and practices are identified and corrected.

• Incident and Accident Investigations: Investigations are necessary in order to find out the cause so steps can be taken to prevent similar recurrences. Timely reporting of every incident and/or accident is essential for the investigation to be effective.

Subcontractors: The activities of workers employed by one contractor can create hazards for workers employed by others in the immediate area. In many states, the general or prime contractor assumes safety responsibility for all contractors and workers on the project. Subcontractors need to be informed of the course of action that will be taken to resolve any safety issues that arise due to subcontractor activity. Conclusion: If you include safety in the early stages of the pre-job planning process, positive results will naturally follow. Reductions in the frequency and severity of accidents will transform into higher productivity, lower insurance costs, and a competitive advantage when bidding against other contractors for future projects.

Ghilotti Construction Company Conducting Effective Safety Meetings

The supervisor is the key person in any program to create and maintain interest in safety, and is responsible for promoting safety among field personnel. How well you meet this responsibility will determine how favorably field personnel adhere to safe work practices. Setting a good example is one of the most effective ways that you can promote safety. WHY ARE SAFETY MEETINGS IMPORTANT? It is not only mandatory, but it is important to meet regularly with your crew to discuss the various aspects of jobsite safety. Only through face-to-face contact can effective communication take place. The open, informal atmosphere of a small group meeting is designed to encourage the kind of questions and discussion that “personalize” the issues of safety by focusing on its day-to-day applications. Safety meetings are designed to: • Encourage safety awareness • Get employees involved • Motivate employees to following safety procedures • Identify potential hazards and prevent accidents and injuries • Introduce workers to new safety rules, equipment, and preventive practices To be effective, try to relate the discussion to current working conditions at the jobsite. Following are the basic steps that should be followed when conducting a meeting on almost any safety topic. • Choose the topic - You do not have to use the topic provided. If there are issues present at the jobsite that

need to be addressed, choose the appropriate topic from the tailgate library located in the old dispatch office.

• Introduce the topic - summarize the purpose of the subject and why it is relevant to the current working conditions.

• Present the facts - be concise as possible in providing the crew with any necessary background on the subject. Then present your facts and figures in as interesting a manner as possible.

• Demonstrate - Acting out, or role-playing, a safety procedure is one way of making sure your message has been received. Using visual aid is another way to demonstrate the subject and get the crew involved. It gives your meeting added impact and makes it more interesting.

• Open the meeting up for discussion - Use the discussion period to answer questions, clarify misunderstandings, and obtain feedback. An active discussion is usually a good indication that your meeting has been successful.

DO NOT JUST HAND THE FORM TO EMPLOYEE TO SIGN! It is important that relevant topics be discussed and that field personnel are educated and informed about the potential exposures present at the jobsite.

Ghilotti Construction Company Subcontractor Safety Compliance

Under Cal/OSHA regulations, the following categories of employers can be cited for a violation, even if their own employees were not exposed to the alleged (enforceable) unsafe condition.

Controlling Employer: The employer who was responsible, by contract or through actual practice, for safety and health conditions on the worksite; i.e. the employer who had the authority for ensuring that the hazardous condition is corrected

Exposing Employer: The employer whose employees were exposed to the hazard

Creating Employer: The employer who actually created the hazard

Correcting Employer: The employer who had the responsibility for actually correcting the hazard

When GCC is the responsible entity for overall site coordination on a project, and deemed responsible for safety and health conditions at the work site, we are exposed to being cited as the “controlling employer” and/or “correcting employer” for violations created by our subcontractor. Subcontractors are contractually held responsible for providing a safe work place for its employees and to comply with all laws, regulations, and orders issued by governing bodies, public officers, and Ghilotti Construction Company. (Refer to Page 2) To ensure Subcontractors to GCC are in compliance, and all hazardous exposures are identified and communicated, the Lead Foreman is responsible for the following activities:

Complete initial project orientation with the Subcontractor, to include matters of safety (2-way conversation should take place to ensure communication of known hazards respective of the work being performed by each party). Document that the meeting occurred on the Daily Time Sheet.

Include matters of safety during progress meetings Accidents involving and/or caused by the subcontractor must be investigated (assist in the subcontractor’s

investigation and obtain copy of their report, as appropriate) Require the Subcontractor, and their employees present at the work site, to participate at GCC’s weekly

Safety Tailgate meetings. (Not applicable to suppliers and subcontractors with sporadic presence at the jobsite)

Communicate and document identified safety violations created by the Subcontractor (provide to the Area Manager for response).

Ghilotti Construction Company Substance Abuse Policy Summary

DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY STATEMENT

Ghilotti Construction Company (“GCC”) is committed to providing a safe work environment and promoting the well-being and health of its employees. That commitment is jeopardized when any GCC employee illegally uses drugs on the job, comes to work under the influence, or possesses, distributes, or sells drugs in the workplace. These activities may adversely affect an employee's work performance, efficiency, safety, and health, and therefore seriously impairs his/her value as an employee. In addition, these activities constitute a potential danger to the welfare and safety of other employees and the public, and exposes GCC to risks of property loss or damage. The company Substance Abuse Policy is designed to be consistent with all current collective bargaining agreements and includes provisions for mandatory pre-placement, post-accident, random, and reasonable suspicion/for cause testing where applicable in the agreements. GCC has established the following guidelines:

1. The company will not tolerate or condone substance abuse. It is the policy of GCC to maintain a workplace free from alcohol and other forms of drug abuse and its effects.

2. It is a violation of company policy for any employee to possess, use, buy, trade, or offer for sale illegal drugs or otherwise engage in the illegal use of drugs on the job.

3. It is a violation of company policy for anyone to report to work under the influence of illegal drugs.

4. It is a violation of company policy for anyone to use prescription drugs illegally. However, nothing in this policy precludes the appropriate use of legally prescribed medications, unless doing so hinders the performance of essential job functions and/or creates identified safety hazards. Employees who believe, or have been informed, that their use of any prescription drug may present a safety risk are to report such drug use to their supervisor or management to insure the safety of themselves, other employees, the public, and employer property. It is a violation of this policy to utilize prescribed medication, during the course of employment, which impairs performance.

5. The use of alcohol during work hours; or the abuse of prescribed drugs will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

6. Violations of this policy are subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination. Employees found to be engaged in the sale or purchase of illegal drugs during working hours shall be subject to immediate termination and shall not be eligible for rehire.

Ghilotti Construction Company expects the full support of this policy by all employees and all persons doing business with the company. EMPLOYEE VOLUNTARY REFERRALS

An employee who abuses drugs and/or alcohol is encouraged to participate in an Employee Voluntary Self-Help Program. Employees who seek voluntary assistance for alcohol and/or substance abuse may not be disciplined for seeking such assistance. GCC reserves the right to approve a reasonable time for a leave of absence under this policy. The leave of absence will be handled confidentially. Voluntary assistance obtained independently, or under the condition of an Informal Referral, will be considered confidential. No information can be released to GCC without the employee’s written consent.


2 of 5

EMPLOYER/COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY

To provide a drug and alcohol-free working environment, GCC will:

1. Establish definitive rules and regulations consistent with respective collective bargaining agreements. 2. Provide increased awareness through training, education, and communication on the subject of alcohol

and other drug abuse. 3. Recognize that there may be employees who have an alcohol or other drug problem and stand willing

to assist in the solution of that problem by encouraging employees to seek help through employee assistance programs provided by their respective unions.

4. Administer a program that takes into consideration an employee’s rights and is within legal boundaries.

5. Take any other actions deemed necessary and appropriate within guidelines established by the respective collective bargaining agreements, to include issuing Informal Referrals.

6. Maintain consistent enforcement of the company Substance Abuse Policy. Any supervisor who knowingly permits a violation of this policy by employees under his/her direct supervision shall be subject to disciplinary action.

7. Cooperate with outside law enforcement agencies. 8. Conduct post-accident, and post-injury, drug and alcohol testing immediately following any accident

that results in bodily injury or property damage, whether a citation is issued or not. Post-accident testing includes any accident that occurs during the course of work. This includes accidents in personal vehicles while performing job tasks.

EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY

GCC believes that each employee has the responsibility to:

1. Report to work at all times free of alcohol or other drugs and their effects. 2. Not possess or use, or have the odor of alcohol or drugs on his/her breath. 3. Seek and accept assistance for alcohol and drug abuse. 4. Not operate GCC equipment, or engage in any work related activity when taking medications or drugs

(prescription or non-prescription), and/or alcohol that may create an unsafe or dangerous situation for the employee, the public, or the employee’s co-workers, including but not limited to valium, muscle relaxants, and painkillers.

5. Immediately report any incident involving property damage or bodily injury that would require post-accident/post-injury drug testing to the supervisor or management.

6. Testing must be performed by a designated facility immediately after occurrence of an incident where the employee appears to be the cause of, or contributed to, an accident involving bodily injury or property damage. For on-site testing, the employee must remain at the job site location. If circumstances require off-site testing, the employee must be accompanied from the job site to a designated testing facility by a company-representative immediately, but not to exceed 4-hours, after occurrence.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING PROCEDURES

All testing will be coordinated through the Santa Rosa Office. Company individuals responsible for the coordination include Senior Management, the Equipment Manager, Lead Dispatcher, and Executive Administrator. Substances that can be tested for include:

• Alcohol • Marijuana • Barbiturates

• Opiates • Cocaine • PCP

• Amphetamines • Methaqualone, by products

Types of testing that can be performed include:

• Urine, blood, breath (except for Carpenters 46 Counties: Urine Only) Refusal by an employee to submit to testing will be considered cause for immediate discharge. Testing will be performed under the following conditions, in compliance with collective bargaining agreements: A. PRE-PLACEMENT TESTING

Pre-placement testing is mandatory for all new hires (not employed by GCC within the last 30-days/Exception: 60-days for Pile Drivers). Employees will not be permitted to work while pending receipt of test results. An employee who refuses to submit to a drug/alcohol test when dispatched will not be employed by GCC, or receive show-up pay. For DOT regulated assignments, refer to the respective collective bargaining agreements for appropriate guidelines.

B. POST-ACCIDENT/POST-INJURY TESTING

Post-Accident/Post-Injury testing is mandatory for all accidents resulting in bodily injury or property damage, unless employee is deemed an “innocent victim.” With respect to Pile Drivers, direct involvement is required to be subject to testing. With respect to all other collective bargaining agreements, testing can be performed whether the exposure is direct or indirect.

C. RANDOM DRUG TESTING

GCC shall conduct random drug tests of only those employees for whom random testing is required by current D.O.T. regulations. Such testing shall be consistent with the requirements of applicable D.O.T. regulations and the respective collective bargaining agreements.

D. FOR CAUSE/REASONABLE SUSPICION TESTING

When an authorized representative of Ghilotti Construction Company has "reasonable suspicion" to believe that the employee is under the influence of controlled substances, and/or alcohol, GCC may require the employee to submit to drug testing. In this situation, the Ghilotti Construction Company representative will inform the employee that he/she may have a union representative present. Reasonable suspicion means suspicion based on specific personal observations that the employer representative can describe concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or the breath odor of the employee (where the odor is detected in addition to appearance, behavior, or speech). Suspicion is not reasonable, and thus not a basis for testing, if it is based solely on the observations and reports of third parties. The grounds for reasonable suspicion must be documented by two supervisors. The employee shall be informed that refusal to submit to testing will constitute a presumption of intoxication and subject the employee to immediate discharge. This will be raised in the event that Ghilotti Construction Company had reasonable suspicion for testing in the first place. The employee's refusal shall be in writing.


4 of 5

If the employee consents to the testing, he/she shall sign a consent form authorizing the collection of a specimen of urine and/or the conduct of an EBT test and a release of the results of the laboratory testing and/or EBT test to Ghilotti Construction. Before the actual drug testing, the employee will be examined by a medical doctor at the designated facility. This examination will be made to determine whether the conduct or behavior observed may have been caused by a reason other than the possible influence of drugs and/or alcohol. If the medical doctor decides that the conduct or behavior observed by the supervisor is for a reason other than possible influence of drugs and/or alcohol, no test will be given and the employee will be returned to work without loss of pay, provided the medical doctor releases (in writing) the employee to return to work.

CHAIN OF CUSTODY PROCEDURES

GCC utilizes the services of qualified facilities for conducting all drug and alcohol testing. At the time a specimen is collected, the employee shall be given a copy of the specimen collection procedures. The collection and laboratory process will be consistent with guidelines established under the respective collective bargaining agreements and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) standards. POSITIVE RESULTS – PROCESSING GUIDELINES

All testing results are established in accordance with the guidelines determined by SAMHSA. The cut-off levels (impairment levels) for both the screening and confirmatory tests shall be per Federal standards as determined by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. Only tests that are positive, based on SAMHSA standards, will be reported to the Medical Review Officer (MRO). If the test result is positive for pre-placement/new hires: 1. A MRO will verify all positive test results. 2. A MRO shall interview the employee concerning the test results within five (5) days. The employee will

be given an opportunity to explain and substantiate his/her use of legal drugs (prescription or over-the-counter) or other substances that may have resulted in a positive test result.

3. The MRO shall inform the employee of his/her right to have a second confirmatory test at a second D.H.H.S. approved laboratory. The employee shall have 72 hours within which to request the confirmatory test. If the second test is negative, the employee will be considered to have tested negative.

4. The MRO is responsible for reporting the final/positive results to the employer. 5. Employees who test positive will be referred for evaluation and treatment (through their respective

Unions/Substance Abuse Programs). 6. GCC is not obligated to employ any such worker, even after being cleared through a qualified Substance

Abuse Program. If the test result is positive for existing employees: 1. A MRO will verify all positive test results. 2. A MRO shall interview the employee concerning the test results within five (5) days. The employee will

be given an opportunity to explain and substantiate his/her use of legal drugs (prescription or over-the-counter) or other substances that may have resulted in a positive test result.

3. The MRO shall inform the employee of his/her right to have a second confirmatory test at a second D.H.H.S. approved laboratory. The employee shall have 72 hours within which to request the confirmatory test. If the second test is negative, the employee will be considered to have tested negative.

4. The MRO is responsible for reporting the final/positive results to the employer. 5. After the results have been confirmed as positive, the employee shall be referred to a counselor for

evaluation and recommendation for treatment. Exception: GCC is not required to refer an employee for treatment that violates any provision that prohibits the sale of, attempted sale of, or manufacture of prohibited substances.

6. The manager or supervisor shall take appropriate actions based upon the evaluation and treatment recommendations.


5 of 5

First Offense: 1. Upon receipt of a confirmed positive test result, the employee will be provided a written formal

referral and Information Release Authorization form for signature. 2. To be reinstated to work, the employee must have a signed release from a qualified counselor or

physician stating that they are fit for work and do not pose a safety hazard. 3. Employees will be required to adhere to any conditions set forth in a Reinstatement /Return-to-Work

Agreement and be subject to random drug testing, in accordance with collective bargaining agreements.

4. The employee must have a current test performed with a negative result before being permitted on the job site.

5. An employee may not be discharged from employment if he/she agrees in writing to undergo the counseling/treatment prescribed. GCC reserves the right to re-employ the worker upon release, if current work is available. GCC is not required to lay-off any current employee in order to create an open position.

Second Offense: 1. An employee who has previously tested positive and allowed to return to work can be discharged

immediately for any subsequent positive drug screen, at the discretion of Ghilotti Construction Company management.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Every effort will be made to ensure that all employees substance abuse problems will be discussed in private and actions taken will not be made known to anyone other than those directly involved in coordinating the testing and obtaining the results, or who are required to be involved in the disciplinary procedures. Only designated company individuals will receive testing results. He/she will notify other Ghilotti Construction Company managers strictly on a need-to-know basis. No laboratory or medical reports or test results shall appear in an employee's personnel folder. All necessary measures shall be taken to keep the results of the test confidential.

Because collective bargaining agreements can vary with respect to administration of a drug testing policy, employees are encouraged to review their collective bargaining agreements to obtain information specific to their Union. Richard W. Ghilotti President
