EHS&S PROCEDURE Document Code NA-SSD-EPR-PRO-5-300 Document Title Site Specific Emergency Action Plan for SSD Uncontrolled when printed - Do not use before ensuring that this document is applicable and that this is the current version. Proprietary and Confidential, Tesla, Inc. | 12 13 Closing the Facility In some cases, the best protective action is to close the facility and keep employees home or ask them to work at alternate locations. This may be in response to a natural disaster like a hurricane or pandemic disease or in response to human-driven hazards like protests and civil unrest. These protective actions work best when they are taken in advance of the dangerous situations. Managers should work with regional leadership to determine closure timing and duration. 13.1 Before Closing • Secure valuable property in parts of the facility not easily accessible through broken glass such as an interior office or safe. • If there is time, move vehicle assets to safer or secured locations as necessary. • Power down machinery or computers that could be damaged by power surges or flooding. • Partner with Facilities to cover windows and doors with plywood. • Ensure workers are equipped appropriately for any remote or alternate work location assignments. • Print out a copy of the schedule for the upcoming week or email it to the regional manager 13.2 During the Closure • Stay in contact with one another using approved work communications such as Microsoft Teams. • Monitor the hazard for impacts to the facility or employees. • Participate in briefings and updates with regional leadership and emergency preparedness if needed. • Rapidly communicate employee assistance requests to regional leadership. 13.3 After a Closure • Managers should inform employees of when to return to the location. • Managers should work with Facilities to determine when a facility is safe to re-open. • Any damages to the site should be documented with photos and forwarded to emergency management. 14 Additional Hazard-Specific Actions In addition to the major protective actions described above, some hazards require additional, specific information. The Emergency Management Resource Hub contains specific preparedness, response and recovery information for employees to review. Site leaders should reference this resource when reviewing hazard-specific actions with their employees. Review these suggestions and delete any that do not apply. If you are unsure if any of these hazards may impact your location, contact your emergency management specialist. 14.1 Earthquake • Partner with Emergency Preparedness to participate in earthquake drills. • During an earthquake, employees should stop all work and Drop, Cover, and Hold. o Drop to the ground and begin moving to a safe area on hands and knees. o Cover head and neck with one arm and hand, or crawl under a sturdy table or nearby desk. If no cover is available, move to an interior wall away from windows and remain on your knees, bent over to protect vital organs. o Hold on until the shaking stops. When under shelter, hold onto it with one hand and be ready to move with the shelter if it shifts. If there is no shelter, hold on to your head and neck with both hands and arms. • After the earthquake, expect aftershocks and be prepared to Drop, Cover and Hold again. o If you are in a damaged building, move outside and away from the building. o Never enter damaged buildings. o If you are in a tsunami area, follow the Tsunami instructions below.
