Purpose: D&D West Homes recognizes the problems of substance abuse in society and in the workplace. Substance abuse poses a serious threat to our employees. By enacting a pre-employment substance abuse policy we hope to combat the problems associated with substance abuse in the workplace.

General Policy Statement

D & D WEST HOMES, INC. is firmly committed to providing its employees with a safe, healthy, and productive work environment; to protect Company property and other physical assets; and to safeguard employees and the general public from accidents and/or injuries resulting from or related to Company operations.

Loss Prevention & Control Program

D & D West will make every effort to provide a safe and sanitary work environment, comply with all safety laws and ordinances, and to promote safety by evaluating operations in terms of safety. To do this, D & D West will:

1. Conduct monthly reviews of accidents to evaluate alternative methods to carry out the work and minimize occurrence of injuries.
2. Hold quarterly (or more frequently if deemed necessary) safety toolbox meetings with employees to review safety conditions, safety rules, specific situations or injuries, which occur, and revise work methods to prevent injuries.
3. Ensure employees are adequately trained in safe operation of all new tools or equipment before placing them in operation.
4. Require all employees to use proper personal protective equipment including hard hats and safety glasses while at the job site.
5. Provide incentives to encourage employees to work in a safe manner and comply with all safety rules.
6. Properly maintain all tools and a good housekeeping program at the job site.

To meet these objectives, D & D West employees are expected to take an active part in protecting themselves and co-workers. Specific employee safety obligations are:

1. Report all injuries to the job site Crew Leader immediately after occurrence.
2. Report all hazardous conditions, practices, or behavior to the job site Crew Leader and make suggestions to correct the situation.
3. Follow instructions of Crew Leaders for safe completion of tasks assigned.
4. Use all personal protective equipment while on the job site, including hard hats and safety glasses.
5. Attend employee safety toolbox meetings.
6. Sign the Safety Policy Acknowledgement Statement, indicating employees have read the Loss Prevention and Control Program and agree to abide by the safety rules established

In the event of a non-emergency, the injured employee should notify the Crew Leader and determine whether medical services are needed. The Crew Leader will notify the office, and if needed arrangements will be made for medical care through Iowa Methodist Occupational Medicine Clinic, Lakeview Medical Park, Suite 124, West Des Moines. If emergency care is needed, the Crew Leader will contact 911 to have the employee transported to Iowa Methodist Medical Center, and notify the office immediately.

Violation of any of the Loss Prevention and Control Program provisions may result in the following disciplinary actions:

1. First Violation in 12-Month Period Verbal Warning
2. Second Violation in 12-Month Period Written Warning
3. Third Violation in 12-Month Period Dismissal

ATTENDANCE

Despite seasonal weather conditions and layoff periods common in the construction industry, D & D West strives to maintain a productive year-around work schedule. To maintain this operation, it is imperative that a reliable work force is available and employees report for work as scheduled. Employees' absences for sickness, personal affairs, etc., reduce D & D West's effectiveness and must be kept to a minimum level. Also, because workers act as a crew and one employee's attendance impacts the performance of the entire crew, the following attendance guidelines are to be followed:

Tardiness:

1. Tardiness is defined as reporting for work later than 15 minutes past the scheduled starting time. A tardy condition may exist for up to two hours. If a tardy period extends beyond two hours, it will be considered an absence (defined below).
2. In the event an employee expects to be tardy, D & D West must be notified 30 minutes prior to the start of the scheduled work time for the tardiness to be considered excused. Any tardiness not reported to D & D West in this time frame will be considered unexcused.
3. A maximum of two excused tardinesses per week will be allowed. In the event more than two excused tardinesses occur per week, the third tardiness will be treated as an unexcused tardiness.
4. A maximum of one unexcused tardiness per month will be allowed before employees receive a warning concerning attendance.
5. In the event of unexcused tardinesses, the following actions will occur:

• Second Unexcused Tardiness in 1-Month Period Verbal Warning
• Third Unexcused Tardiness in 1-Month Period Written Warning
• Fourth Unexcused Tardiness in 1-Month Period Dismissal

Absence:

1. Absence is defined as a period of time when employees are not present at work. One absence will be charged for each continuous period of time away from work, regardless of the number of work days missed.
2. Vacation time or other leave from work that is authorized by D & D West will be excused. However, when other leave is authorized, employees may be requested to make up the time missed by working beyond normal scheduled work times. If time is not made-up as directed by D & D West, this time will be considered unexcused.
3. In the event an employee expects to be absent from work, D & D West must be notified 30 minutes prior to the start of the scheduled work time for the absence to be considered excused. This notification must occur for each work day of the absence period. Any absence not reported to D & D West in this time frame will be considered unexcused.
4. Excused absences need to be minimized and should not exceed one per month. In the event more than one excused absence occurs in a one-month period, the additional absences will be treated as unexcused or D& D West may allow make-up time.
5. In the event of unexcused absences, the following actions will occur:

• First Unexcused Absence in 12-Month Period Verbal Warning
• Second Unexcused Absence in 12-Month Period Written Warning
• Third Unexcused Absence in 12-Month Period Dismissal
