UkHealth& �KLE/NFELOER AM_ Safety Procedure Version STOP WORK Number: HSP-2-08 Number: 1'0 AUTHORITY POLICY Published Revised Date: 07/27/2021 Date: NA Safety is a Core Value at Kleinfelder. This means that Safety is a shared value that informs each employee's daily decisions and priorities. Kleinfelder's policy, therefore, is to provide a safe work environment by promoting a culture of safety that supports each employee in making decisions that result in safe work activities and environments- in the office, laboratory, and field. This includes employees' responsibility and authority to stop work and immediately report questionable or unsafe conditions and/or work practices to their supervisor. If a job cannot be completed safely, employees must not proceed until the questionable or unsafe issue is resolved. • All employees have the responsibility and authority to stop work when a perceived unsafe condition or behavior exists, so that the unsafe conditions or behaviors can be eliminated or mitigated. • Senior management is committed to a safety culture that promotes Stop Work Authority (SWA) and supports the use of stop work interventions initiated in good faith without potential for retribution, even if the stop work intervention is deemed unnecessary. Supervisors and managers will honor SWA requests, participate in the issuance of Stop Work Orders, and assist in eliminating or mitigating the unsafe conditions or behaviors before resuming operations. • The Health & Safety team will provide required training on this policy and the Stop Work Order process, and they will support and monitor SWA Policy effectiveness and compliance. • Employees and subcontractors will initiate their SWA when unsafe conditions or behaviors are identified, and they will support SWA initiated by others. Recognizing that many unsafe conditions or behaviors can be mitigated through simple, real-time, personal interventions (for example, reminding a co-worker to stop and don a hardhat before continuing to work), Kleinfelder's formal SWA program, described in Kleinfelder Quality Procedure KQP-3.4, Stop Work Order, is intended to address conditions that would cause, or likely contribute to, significant losses, as defined in Section 6.1 of KQP-3.4 and included here for clarity: 2-08.1 Causal and Contribution Factors of a Stop Work Condition A stop work condition exists when continuing work would cause, or likely contribute, to one or more of the following: • Irreparable compromise to the quality of scientific investigation results • Continued use of an item that does not function as intended • Continued use of a suspect or counterfeit item Copyright 2021 Kleinfelder, Inc.
