<br /> 9.9 Hand Safety
<br /> The hands are exposed to hazards more than any body part. SH&E Hand Safety Procedure S3AM-317-PR describes
<br /> requirements and best practices including these notable practices:
<br /> ■ All personnel shall have gloves in their immediate possession 100%of the time when in a shop or on a work
<br /> site. Gloves that address the hazard shall be worn when employees work with or near any materials or equipment
<br /> that present the potential for hand injury due to sharp edges,corrosives,flammable and irritating materials,
<br /> extreme temperatures, splinters, etc. Use the Gloves Needs Assessment(S3AM-317-FM1)to help determine the
<br /> appropriate glove for the hazard(s).
<br /> ■ Fixed open-blade knives are prohibited from use during the course of AECOM work. Examples of fixed open-
<br /> blade knives include pocket-knives, multi-tools, hunting knives, and standard utility knives. For more information
<br /> about cutting tools,see S3AM-317-ATT1 Safe Alternative Tools.
<br /> 9.10 Substance Abuse
<br /> Drug and alcohol abuse pose a serious threat to the health and safety of employees, clients, and the general public as well as
<br /> the security of our job sites, equipment and facilities.AECOM is committed to the elimination of illegal drug use and alcohol
<br /> abuse in its workplace and regards any misuse of drugs or alcohol by employees to be unacceptable. AECOM Substance
<br /> Abuse Prevention Procedure(S3AM-019-PR1) prohibits the use, possession, presence in the body, manufacture, concealment,
<br /> transportation, promotion or sale of the following items or substances on company premises. Company premises refer to all
<br /> property, offices,facilities, land, buildings,structures,fixtures, installations, aircraft, automobiles,vessels,trucks and all other
<br /> vehicles and equipment-whether owned, leased, or used.
<br /> ■ Illegal drugs(or their metabolites), designer and synthetic drugs, mood-or mind-altering substances, and drug use
<br /> related paraphernalia unless authorized for administering currently prescribed medication,
<br /> ■ Controlled substances that are not used in accordance with physician instructions or non-prescribed controlled
<br /> substances, and
<br /> ■ Alcoholic beverages while at work or while on any customer-or AECOM-controlled property.
<br /> This policy does not prohibit lawful use and possession of current medication prescribed in the employee's name or over-the-
<br /> counter medications. Employees must consult with their health care provider about any prescribed medication's effect on their
<br /> ability to perform work safely and disclose any restrictions to their supervisor.
<br /> Although some states may pass laws legalizing medical or recreational marijuana use,the use,sale, distribution and possession
<br /> of marijuana are violations of federal law and AECOM policy,and will subject an employee to disciplinary action up to and
<br /> including termination in accordance with controlling law. In Canada,where medical and recreational marijuana use is legal,
<br /> employees must still follow Federal and Provincial laws, and AECOM policy with regards to use and possession. Employees
<br /> found to be in contravention of legal requirements or AECOM policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including
<br /> termination.
<br /> 9.11 Rewards and Recognition
<br /> One of AECOM's Life Preserving Principles is Recognition and Rewards for proactive safety, health and environmentally
<br /> focused behaviors.All projects are expected to participate in the rewards and recognition programs available on the Corporate
<br /> and DCS Americas SH&E ecosystem pages. Large, long term projects are encouraged to establish a project specific rewards
<br /> and recognition program which incorporates project specific goals and activities(template available S3AM-020-FM1).All
<br /> rewards and recognition programs must emphasize the 9 Life Preserving Principles and proactive SH&E activities NOT
<br /> solely the achievement of lagging metrics("injury/incident-free"hours, etc.)as those may discourage incident
<br /> reporting.
