We do this by establishing and maintaining a workplace free of recognized hazards and insisting upon safe work practices at all times, by all employees. The prevention of accidents is an objective affecting all levels of our organization and its operations. It is a basic requirement that each director, manager, and supervisor make safety an integral part of his or her regular management function. It is equally the duty of each employee to accept and follow established safety rules and procedures. Every effort will be made to provide adequate training to employees. However, if an employee is ever in doubt about how to do a job or task safely, it is the employee’s duty to ask his or her supervisor or department head for instructions. Employees are expected to assist management in accident prevention activities. Unsafe conditions or unsafe work practices should be reported immediately. Employees should always assist co-workers who need help. Every injury, collision, property damage or other incident that occurs on the job or in our stores or classrooms, even a slight cut, scrape or strain, should be reported to your supervisor as soon as possible. Under no circumstances should an employee leave the work site without reporting an injury. When an injury occurs everyone is hurt. Safety is every employee’s responsibility. Please work safely.”

7.4 Building Fire Safety and Evacuation Plans

Evacuations plans are effective tools to ensure people are evacuated to a place of safety or out of a building safely. R&S will develop and review Emergency Response Plan to address building fire emergency procedures including evacuation. Refer to ERP for detailed procedures. The Emergency contact details will be posted in all buildings on the Safety Bulletin Boards. R&S will develop a single Evacuation Plan (EP) for each building. Leadership will ensure that EPs are posted at each exit door in all buildings. Any redesign or modification to the existing layouts will be communicated to R&S through email to update EP and ERP. Department Managers will ensure that all emergency exits, fire-fighting equipment, alarms and any other basic fire safety devices/equipment will be kept free of any obstacles at all times to ensure employees’ safety and properties. All employees shall have access to quick and effective first aid. Employees identified as first aid trained for the purposes of meeting regulatory requirements will do so as a collateral duty; it will not be their primary job assignment to provide first aid or CPR. EGNW will comply with federal and state first aid regulations. Compliance with WISHA under WAC 296-800-150, EGNW will ensure that: • first aid trained personnel are available to provide quick and effective first aid. • appropriate first-aid supplies are readily available. • all first responders wear their PPE while rendering first aid. • emergency eye wash equipment are provided and are readily accessible. • safety committee members inspect and activate emergency eye wash equipment during their inspection to ensure functionality of the equipment.

card at all times. Training certificate will be forwarded to Training Development/P&C for record keeping purposes. First aid kits will be kept unlock and shall be made from material that will protect from damage, deterioration, or contamination in the work environment. Department Management/Safety Committee members will ensure a constant supply of First aid items are available, will check first aid kit on a monthly basis and purchase first aid items through D365 (reference items in purchase Catalogue found on EGNW P:\drive). All locations will be provided with emergency eye wash units, strategically placed for easy access. These areas will be identified through “eye wash” signs. EGNW has identified that there is no potential for an employee’s body to contact corrosives, strong irritants or toxic chemicals, hence no emergency shower will required, however, the company will continue to monitor its activities and will decide if emergency showers will be needed. Store managers will ensure during installation: that eye wash stations meet ANSI Z358.1, delivers at least 0.4 gallons (1.5 litres) of water per minutes for fifteen minutes or more; located no more than ten (10) seconds (50ft) of reach; installed 33” to 45” off floor, areas are kept free of obstacles and will conduct monthly inspection of those units to ensure proper functionality. Awareness and communication on use of emergency eye wash station and location will be covered during New Hire Orientation.

7.5.1 Refer to Eye Wash Unit Procedure for further information.

R&S will help to interpret first aid requirements and will act as a liaison with the State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) for health and safety, including first aid requirements.

7.6 Good Samaritan Act

Employees who obtained first aid training as a collateral duty and not as a primary job assignment are covered by the Good Samaritan Statute (RCW 4.24.300), which states: “Any person, including but not limited to a volunteer provider of emergency or medical services, who without compensation or the expectation of compensation renders

Risk & Safety-P-001 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN

Prepared by: Prithy Madhoo Rev B: 7-5-2023 Date Created: 12-29-2021

emergency care at the scene of an emergency or who participates in transporting, not for compensation, therefrom an injured person or persons for emergency medical treatment shall not be liable for civil damages resulting from any act or omission in the rendering of such emergency care or in transporting such persons, other than acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.”

7.7 Blood-borne Pathogens Training (BBP)

EGNW employees who will be trained as first aid responder as a collateral job duty will be enrolled in an annual blood-borne pathogen (BBP) training and will be offered a Hepatitis B immunization. The immunization will be on a voluntary basis. Immunization Forms will be maintained by Department Management in Employee’s file for record keeping. BBP training will be available on “Training At Goodwill” (TAG) EGNW Learning Management System (LMS). In the event that an EGNW employee will be exposed to human blood or body fluids during the administration of first aid or any other activity in the workplace, the employee shall notify their supervisor immediately in order to be referred to the appropriate health clinic for post-exposure follow-up. In addition, an incident report via Vector will be completed by Department Management. Department Management will ensure that personal protective equipment and bio hazards kits for such task are available, approved and maintained. R&S will approve waste profile for BBP. Leadership will call BBP collector as and when required.

7.7.1 Refer to BBP Plan

7.8 Sharps Waste

Sharps waste will be regulated by state law and must be separated from the regular waste stream. The term “sharps” refers to items used to puncture or cut body parts like needles including syringes with needles, syringes without needles, lancets and scalpel blades.

17

Risk & Safety-P-001 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN

Prepared by: Prithy Madhoo Rev B: 7-5-2023 Date Created: 12-29-2021

Sharps will not be disposed in trash as they have the potential to cause punctures, cuts and poses a high risk of exposure to waste handlers, hence, special handling will be required. The following are considered as sharps waste if they are contaminated with a biohazard and will be disposed by outside vendors: • Broken glass • Razor blades • Metal shavings • Needles, syringes R&S will not collect bio-hazards waste. Leadership will contact outside vendor as outlined in their emergency contact list. Automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, are electronic devices designed to recognize cardiac arrhythmias and treat them through defibrillation, an electrical therapy shock which allows the heart to re-establish the proper rhythm. Under RCW 70.54.310, Department Management will ensure that AED’s are provided in each buildings; First Responders will receive training on proper use of AEDs; AEDs will be periodically tested (monthly) and maintained as per the manufacturer’s operational guidelines. AEDs location will be marked with AED signs throughout each building. After use of AED pads, managers will ensure that pads are replaced immediately by placing an order on D365. After emergency use of an AED, the individual providing first aid will call 911 and will assure that appropriate follow up data is made available as requested by an emergency medical service or other health care providers. 7.9 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)

7.10 Working Alone/Isolated workers

The Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) defines “Isolated Workers” as janitors, security guards, hotel housekeepers, and room service attendants who spend most working hours alone. Usually, employees in this line of work do not have a co-worker present throughout their day”.

18

Risk & Safety-P-001 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN

Prepared by: Prithy Madhoo Rev B: 7-5-2023 Date Created: 12-29-2021

EGNW has identified that in some operations like ADCs (trailer sites), employees will be called to work alone as well as in instances in sites that have 2-3 members and due to shift differential or call-outs, individual might have to work alone. In such cases, ADC managers/supervisors will be made aware of areas with only one employee, there will be constant communication between leadership and lone worker. In case of emergencies employee will be trained to call 911 by using their cell phone. ADC management will be required to determine the best method to ensure the availability of first aid for their employees. This determination depends on the work location(s) and type(s) of work activities.

8.0 Identifying and Mitigating Hazards 8.1 Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

A JHA is one method of determining hazards at worksite. EGNW could require a Job Hazard Analysis every 5 years or when there is a new process introduction, new equipment acquisition or changes in work set up. R&S will assist departments in identifying hazards present in a work environment and will develop appropriate mitigation plans. It will be the responsibility of the department to enforce recommendations following the JHA to protect their employees. JHA records will be maintained by R&S Department for a period of 5 years. The JHA records will be available on company’s Risk and Safety drive.

8.2 Hierarchy of Control

R&S Department will use the hierarchy of control to propose measures to reduce risks.

8.2.1 Elimination

Physically removing hazard will be the most effective way in hazard control. R&S will choose to eliminate identified hazards, wherever possible, before the risk is introduced in the business through partnership with other department when buying new chemicals, re-

designing work layout, purchase of new equipment/devices and disposal of existing equipment/waste.

8.2.2 Substitution

When a risk being introduced cannot be eliminated due to some business requirements, R&S will coordinate with departments for other substitution. This will include replacing the hazard with something less hazardous or with something that does not produce a hazard.

8.2.3 Design and Engineering Controls

The most effective way to mitigate hazards will be to eliminate the hazard entirely or control the exposure to the hazard through engineering controls. Departments will consider health and safety requirements during the design phase of a building, purchase of equipment, chemical introduction or process improvement. Identification of hazards and methods to eliminate those hazards through inherent safe design early in the planning phase could prevent a hazard from being inadvertently created from the start. Department managers will work with R&S to identify and control risks in process change or property improvements. Training will be an essential part of ENGW plan to provide a safe environment. The type of training required will be based on the hazards identified in a department. Department Managers will be responsible for ensuring that employees are appropriately trained prior to starting a task. Any safety training conducted shall be documented. The training record should include, at a minimum, the topic of the training, the name of the employee trained, the date of the training and the name of the trainer. Health and Safety Training Matrix will help managers identify appropriate safety trainings for their department. This document will be available on EGNW Public Drive in R&S folder. This is not an exhaustive list of trainings that an employee may be required to take. Training records for all instructor-led, online classes provided by R&S, training warranting 8.2.4 Administrative controls

certification and renewal will be available on “Training At Goodwill” (TAG) or with R&S or P&C. Upon recruitment or promotion of leadership, EGNW will require leaders to complete R&S Leadership Training so they understand their roles and responsibilities, understand the hazards and safety requirements as much if not more than the line employees. New employees (FT/PT/Temps) and leadership will be required to go through the initial R&S Orientation training on the first day of their employment. Monthly safety toolboxes will be used as a communication method to create awareness on various R&S topics throughout the year. Eliminating hazards through engineering design or administrative controls will be preferred over providing PPE. PPE is the least effective means of controlling hazards. EGNW will require that employees wear their PPE when they are exposed to hazards which cannot be controlled by engineering controls or other methods in their work environment. Each department’s managers/assistant managers/supervisors are responsible for enforcing PPE procedure, provision of PPE and use of PPE, A PPE hazard assessment is required by WAC 296-800-160. R&S will use PPE Hazard Assessment Checklist to conduct a PPE Assessment when there is introduction of a new process/risk or whenever required. Employees will be trained on proper use of PPE during Orientation and PPE refresher training will be completed on a yearly basis through toolbox talks. All required PPEs except safety shoes or clothes will be provided to employees at no cost by EGNW. 8.2.5 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

8.3 Introduction of New Chemical on site

EGNW will require that any chemical to be introduced into the workplace be approved by R&S. All persons involved in purchase or trial of a new chemical will collaborate with R&S for risk assessment and approval of chemical. To ensure proper document control all Safety Data Sheet (SDS), chemical inventory and training records will be maintained

by R&S in ENW Public Drive under R&S folder. Employees can view and print SDS by requesting a copy from their managers.

8.4 Chemical Hazard Communication (HazCom)

Hazard Communication is a set of instructions to keep employees safe by providing information about potential sources of injury when using hazardous chemicals in the workplace. EGNW is not considered a manufacturer, importer or seller of hazardous chemicals. The company recognized that employees are exposed to hazardous chemical from donated items. New chemical purchase will be approved by R&S to ensure no new risk is introduced into the business, develop chemical emergency protocol, training of employees, availability of PPE and disposal of hazardous waste. SDS will be maintained by R&S in R&S folder. EGNW employees will receive formal and documented training on the Hazardous Communication Program within 90 days of recruitment. Training will be delivered during orientation on “Training At Goodwill” (TAG). The HazCom program will include: • Identifying and listing hazardous chemicals in use by employees. • Ensuring chemical containers are labeled. • Ensuring employees have access to Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). • Training employees on the hazards of chemicals they work with, safe work practices to avoid exposure, signs and symptoms of exposure, and what to do in the case of a spill or emergency. • Ensuring employees adhere to posted warnings and safety information. Employees working with hazardous chemicals will comply with chemical hazard requirements in the SDS, HazCom program, instructions and policies. Hazardous waste will have a proper waste profile approved and records maintained by R&S. Employees handling hazardous waste will be properly trained and certified on “Training At Goodwill” (TAG). For further details refer to HAZCOM Program.

9.0 Recognized Safety Hazards Measures to prevent injury from a recognized set of potential occupational hazards that affect EGNW employees are addressed below. Any hazards not covered in this APP will be covered in separate procedures. 9.1 Slips, Trips and Falls On-the-job slips, trips, and falls occur frequently and will be avoided by applying these simple safety measures: • Regular 5S of the areas (5S is a five step methodology for creating a more organized and productive workspace: Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) • Remove or rearranged clutter, electrical cords, or anything else that might cause someone to trip. • Arrange or remove furniture so walkways are not blocked or obstructed. • Keep emergency exits clear of any obstructions at all times. • Clean up spills immediately. • Use handrails when walking on stairs. • Avoid carrying items on stairs that can impair visibility or handrail use. One hand should always be free to grab handrail. • Wear shoes that are appropriate for the work environment. • Avoid using mobile devices while walking, always maintain eye contact. • Visually check for any cracks, damage, leaks or any structural damages and report to Facilities through Facility Request.

Training on slips/Trips and falls will be provided through monthly toolbox talks.

Any employee can report a slip, trip and fall to their immediate supervisor or directly by entering the incident on Vector.

9.2 Indoor Air Quality "Indoor Air Quality" generally refers to indoor office, production floor, assembly lines as opposed to outdoor settings. Indoor environments often have ventilation from windows or a heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Common causes of indoor air quality complaints include inadequate outdoor air supply, odors from indoor or outdoor sources, molds or chemical use in production area and fumes. Smoking is prohibited while on EGNW property unless within designated smoking areas. Individuals who choose not to follow this policy will be subject to discipline. EGNW will follow State of Washington law regarding smoking in workplace. This will also apply to electronic cigarette usage. Smoking in unauthorized areas can cause indoor air quality concerns or other safety issues. Although signs are posted, employees will be encouraged to remind their peers not to smoke inside the building or within 25 feet of the building or near wood pallets and flammable products. Employees will be trained on smoking requirements during orientation. 9.3 Hearing Loss Prevention R&S will identify and assess activities where employees could potentially be exposed to high noise levels that may exceed 85 decibels (dBA) averaged over an eight–hour period. For accurate results additional assessments may be conducted by an Industrial Hygienist for noise levels exceeding Permitted Exposure Limit. Employees will be provided with adequate hearing protections and signs will be posted in areas with high noise level. Audio devices will not to be used in lieu of hearing protection. EGNW will not require a baseline assessment during pre-employment medical examinations for employees as the work environment does not qualify as a high noise level over a 8 hour-period. Employees will be encouraged to report any noise above the 85dBA limit or induced hearing issues to their supervisors or R&S. If required, EGNW will conduct an industrial hygiene test for indoor air quality and noise every 5 years or when there are changes in processes or complaints. Indoor air quality test record will be kept by R&S Department and result will be communicated to employees through toolbox or email.
