Award a one-year contract to Stay Green, Inc. to provide contractual tree maintenance services for all City maintained trees for an annual amount of $1,100,000; and authorize an annual contingency in the amount of $220,000, for a total one-year amount not to exceed $1,320,000. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents or modify the awards in the event impossibility of performance arise, contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such Fiscal Year, and execute all documents subject to City Attorney approval. 3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute up to four additional one-year renewal options beginning in year two, not to exceed the base annual contract (inclusive of contingency) of $1,320,000, plus the appropriate CPI adjustment, upon request of the contractor. BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) performs proactive routine maintenance to an urban forest encompassing over 120,000 trees throughout the City, with half of those trees being funded by Landscape Maintenance Districts and the other half funded by the General Fund. Proactive maintenance leads to more efficient management of our urban forestry, with regular maintenance improving the overall health and vitality of our trees while mitigating potential large branch or entire tree failures due to factors such as age, drought or significant wind events. Bid Number UF -16-17-01 for the proactive maintenance of all City maintained trees was Yl Page 1 Packet Pg. 44 published and circulated via the PlanetBids system on July 5, 2016. The request for bid was sent to 344 vendors, and was downloaded by 24 companies. Three companies responded to the bid with one submitted incomplete. Bid Vendor Location Total Bid Responsive Bid Amount (Yes/No) Bid 1 Stay Green, hic Santa Clarita, $1,77400 Yes (Recommended) CA Bid 2 West Coast Anaheim, CA $2,3921320 Yes Arborists Bid 3 Mariposa Irwindale, CA $3,04500 No (Did not Landscape include Bid Bond) A thorough evaluation of bids has determined the proposal submitted by Stay Green, Inc. (Stay Green) to be the lowest cost and most responsive bid. To improve maintenance standards and enforce accountability, UF -16-17-01 encompasses an updated scope of work. In addition to more clearly detailing performance expectations, the proposed agreement provides staff with the ability to impose payment reductions when maintenance standards are not met or work is not completed within required time lines. In preparing bid specifications, the City instructed proposers to calculate their bid for re- occurring services based upon pruning 3,000 trees per month. As such, the above bid amounts reflect annual costs based on this quantity. Staff is basing the recommended award of contract upon funds appropriated within the Urban Forestry and Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) operational budget which have been identified to support the City's annual tree pruning program which for Fiscal Year 2016-17 is $1,100,000. Based on bid pricing and the appropriated operational budget for Urban Forestry and LMD, staff will have the operational capacity to proactively prune approximately 1,500 trees per month or 20,000 trees per year. This equates to a six-year average tree pruning cycle which is well within the industry standard for how often a municipality should prune their tree inventory. In evaluating bid pricing, the average per tree pruning cost equals $55. In reviewing recent tree pruning bid awards, staff believes bid pricing received through this solicitation is competitive with the pricing experience of other cities. The City of Monrovia awarded a tree maintenance contract in July 2016 which reflected an average pruning price point of $63 per tree. The cities of Azusa, Santa Ana and Arcadia all maintain similar per tree pricing, while the City of San Fernando pruning price point is $65.50 per tree. Staff has completed a due -diligence review of Stay Green's professional references and determined they have the ability to meet the City's high performance standards. Further, representatives from Special Districts met with Stay Green to ensure they have a full understanding of all contract requirements and verified Stay Green is capable of meeting the City's expectations within the bid pricing as submitted. Page 2 Packet Pg. 45 Finally, in addition to the annual base contract amount, staff is requesting a 20% contingency authorization in the amount of $220,000. Expenditure of these additional funds will only be necessary in the event of high tree mortality, unforeseen emergencies and/or necessary tree work associated with other City projects. ALTERNATIVE ACTION 1. Do not award contract to Stay Green, Inc. 2. Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Adequate funds have previously been appropriated as part of the Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget to support this recommended contract. Funds for future fiscal years are contingent upon appropriation of monies by the City Council during the annual budget process. This contract will be funded equally by Landscape Maintenance Districts and General Fund monies.

STAY GREEN fNC also has a system of anonymous notification whereby employees who wish to inform the company of workplace hazards without identifying themselves may do so by phoning or sending written notification to the following address: Jorge Donapetry, HR Safety 26415 Summit Circle Santa Clarim, CA 91350 (800) 858-5508 x-104 Effective 1/18/16 STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manual and IIPP Enforcement of Safety Policies The compliance of all employees with STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manual and IIPP is mandatory and is a condition of employment. The following programs will be utilized to ensure employee compliance with the safety program and all safety rules. • Training programs • Retraining • Disciplinary action • Optional safety incentive programs Training Programs The importance of safe work practices and the consequences of failing to abide by safety rules will be covered in the New Employee Safety Orientation and at tailgate and toolbox safety meetings. This will help ensure that all employees understand and abide by STAY GREEN INC safety policies. Retraining Employees that are observed performing unsafe acts or not following proper procedures or rules will be retrained by their supervisor. A Safety Contact Report may be completed by the supervisor to document the training. If multiple employees are involved, additional safety meetings will be held Safety Incentive Programs Although strict adherence to safety policies and procedures is required of all employees, the company may choose to periodically provide recognition of safety -conscious employees and job sites without accidents through a safety incentive program. Discinlinary Action: The failure of an employee to adhere to safety policies and procedures established by STAY GREEN INC can have a serious impact on everyone concerned. An unsafe act can threaten not only the health and well being of the employee committing the unsafe act but can also affect the safety of his/her coworkers and customers. Accordingly, any employee who violates any of the companys safety policies will be subject to disciplinary action. Note: Failure to promptly report any on-the-job accident or injury, on the same day as occurrence, is considered a serious violation of the Company's Code of Safe Practices. Any employee who fails to immediately report a work-related accident or injury, no matter how minor shall be subject to disciplinary action. Eff=v ve V] P.A 6 I I STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Employees will be disciplined for infractions of safety rules and unsafe work practices that are observed, not just those that result in an injury. Often, when an injury occurs, the accident investigation may reveal that the injury was caused because the employee violated an established safety rule and/or safe work practice(s). In any disciplinary action, the supervisor should be cautious that discipline is given to the employee for safety violations, and not simply because the employee was injured on thejob or filed a Workers' Compensation claim. Violations of safety rules and the Code of Safe Practices are to be considered equal to violations of other company policy. Discipline for safety violations will be administered in a manner that is consistent with STAY GREEN INC'S system of progressive discipline. If, after training, violations occur, disciplinary action will be taken as follows: I. Verbal warning. Document it, including date and facts on the "Safety Contact Report" form. Add any pertinent witness statements. Restate the policy and correct practice(s). 2. Written warning. Retrain as to correct procedure/practice. 3. Written warning with suspension. 4. Termination As in all disciplinary actions, each situation is to be carefully evaluated and investigated. The particular step taken in the disciplinary process will depend on the severity of the violation, employee history, and regard to safety. Supervisors should consult with the office if there is any question about whether or not disciplinary action is justified. Employees may be terminated immediately for willful or extremely serious violations. Union employees are entitled to the grievance process specified by their contract. Effective 1/18116 1'_ STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Hazard Identification and Evaluation To assist in the identification and correction of hazards, STAY GREEN INC has developed the following procedures. These procedures are representative only and are not exhaustive of all the measures and methods that will be implemented to guard against injury from recognized hazards in the workplace. As new hazards are identified or improved work procedures developed, they will be promptly incorporated into our Safety Manual. The following methods will be utilized to identify hazards in the workplace: • Analysis of accidents to identify trends • Accident investigations • Employee observations • Employee suggestions • Regulatory requirements for our industry • Outside agencies such as the fire department and insurance carriers • Periodic safety inspections Loss Analysis Periodic loss analyses will be conducted by Jorge Donapetry. These will help identify areas of concern and potential job hazards. The results of these analyses will be communicated to management, supervision, and employees through safety meetings and other appropriate means. Accident Investigations All accidents and injuries will be investigated in accordance with the guidelines contained to this program. Accident investigations will focus on all causal factors and corrective action including the identification and correction of hazards that may have contributed to the accident. Employee Observation Supervisors will continually observe employees for unsafe actions, and take corrective action as necessary. Employee Suggestions Employees are encouraged to report any hazard they observe to their supervisor. No employee of STAY GREEN fNC is to ever be disciplined or discharged for reporting any workplace hazard or unsafe condition. However, employees who do NOT report potential hazards or unsafe conditions that they are aware of will be subject to disciplinary action. Effective 118 16 STAY GREEN INCS Salley Manual and 11PP Reeulatory Reauirements All industries are subject to government regulations relating to safety. Many of these regulations are specific to our type of business. Copies of pertinent regulations can be obtained from the Safety Coordinator. Outside Agencies Several organizations will assist us in identifying hazards in our workplace. These include safety officers from other contractors, insurance carrier safety and health consultants, private industry consultants, the fire department, Cal/OSHA Consultation, and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. Periodic Safety Inspections Periodic safety inspections ensure that physical and mechanical hazards are under control and identify situations that may become potentially hazardous. Inspections shall include a review of the work habits of employees in all work areas. These inspections will be conducted by Crew Leader, the Supervisor, Safety Coordinator or other designated individual. Periodic safety inspections will be conducted: • Before any work commences at the site by the crew leader/supervisor. • Daily by the crew leader/supervisor on all sites. • When new substances, process, procedures or equipment are used. • When new or previously unrecognized hazards are identified. • Periodically by the supervisor at various job sues. • Periodically by the safety coordinator at various job sites. These inspections will focus on both unsafe employee actions as well as unsafe conditions. The following is a partial list of items to be checked. • The proper use of fall protection. • The proper use, condition, maintenance and grounding of all electrically operated equipment. • The proper use, condition, and maintenance of safeguards for all power -driven equipment. • Compliance with the Code of Safe Practices. • Proper disposal of pesticides and containers.. • Types of chemicals on hand • Methods of storing chemicals (cool, well -ventilated area accessible only to authorized personnel • Proper labeling or chemicals, pesticides, and insecticides • Housekeeping and personal protective equipment. • Provision of first aid equipment and emergency medical services. Efiative 116 16 14 STAY GREEN INUS Safety Manual and IIPP Any and all hazards identified will be corrected as soon as practical in accordance with the STAY GREEN INC hazard correction policy. If imminent or life threatening hazards are identified, which cannot be immediately corrected, all employees must be removed from the area, except those with special training required to correct the hazard, who will be provided necessary safeguards. Documentation of Inspections Safety inspections will be documented to include the following: • Date on which the inspection was performed. • The name and title of person who performed the inspection. • Any hazardous conditions noted or discovered and the steps or procedures taken to correct them. • Signature of the person who performed the inspection One copy of the completed form should be sent to the office. All reports shall be kept on file for a minimum of two (2) years. Effective 1118116 STAY GREEN IMUS Safety Manual and IIPP Hazard Correction The following procedures will be used to evaluate, prioritize and correct identified safety hazards. Hazards will be corrected in order of priority: the most serious hazards will be corrected first. If it is necessary to involve other contractors to correct hazards on a job site, they will be properly notified by the Supervisor, Manager or other designated individual. Hazard Evaluation Factors which will be considered when evaluating hazards include: • Potential severity - The potential for serious injury, illness or fatality • Likelihood of exposure - The probability of the employee coming into contact with the hazard • Frequency of exposure- How often employees come into contact with the hazard • Number of employees exposed • Possible corrective actions - What can be done to minimize or eliminate the hazard • Time necessary to correct - The time necessary to minimize or eliminate the hazard Techniques for Correcting Hazards I. Engineering Controls: Could include machine guarding, ventilation, noise reduction at the source, and provision of material handling equipment. These are the first and preferred methods of control. 2. Administrative Controls: The next most desirable method would include rotation of employees or limiting exposure time. 3. Personal Protective Equipment. Includes back support belts, hearing protection, respirators and safety glasses. These are often the least effective controls for hazards and should be relied upon only when other controls are impractical. Documentation of Corrective Action All corrective action taken to mitigate hazards should be documented. Depending on the circumstances, one of the following forms should be used: • Safety Contact Report • Safety Meeting Report • Memo or letter • Safety inspection form All hazards noted on safety Inspections will be rechecked on each subsequent inspection and notations made as to their status. Elimlive 11E 16 16 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Accident Investigation All work-related accidents will be investigated by the Supervisor, Manager or other designated individual in a timely manner. This includes minor incidents and "near accidents", as well as serious injuries. An accident is defined as any unexpected occurrence which results in injury to personnel, damage to equipment, facilities, or material, or interruption of normal operations. Responsibility for Accident Investigation Immediately upon being notified of an accident, the supervisor, manager or other designated individual shall conduct an investigation. The purpose of the investigation is to determine the cause of the accident and corrective action to prevent future reoccurrence; not to fix blame or find fault. An unbiased approach is necessary in order to obtain objective findings. The Pumose of Accident Investigations• • To prevent or decrease the likelihood of similar accidents. • To identify and correct unsafe work practices and physical hazards. Accidents are often caused by a combination of these two factors. • To identify training needs. This makes training more effective by focusing on factors that are most likely to cause accidents. What Tunes of Incidents Do We Investigate? • Fatalities • Serious injuries • Minor injuries • Property damage • Near misses Procedures for Investigation of Accidents Immediately upon being notified of an accident the supervisor, manager or other designated individual will: I. Visit the accident scene, as soon as possible, while facts and evidence are still fresh and before witnesses forget important details and to make sure hazardous conditions to which other employees or customers could be exposed are corrected or have been removed; 2. Provide for needed fust aid or medical services for the injured employee(s)- 3. If possible, interview the injured worker at the scene of the accident and verbally "walk" him or her through a re-enactment. All interviews should be conducted as privately as possible. Effective 1.18A6 1 STAY GREEN INC S Safety Manual and IIPP Interview all witnesses individually and talk with anyone who has knowledge of the accident, even if they did not actually witness it. 4. Report the accident to the office at (800) 858-5508. Accidents will be reported by the office to the insurance carrier within 24 hours. All serious accidents will be reported to the carrier as soon as possible. 5. Consider taking signed statements to cases where facts are unclear or there is an element of controversy 6. Thoroughly investigate the accident to identify all accident causes and contributing factors. Document details graphically. Use sketches, diagrams and photos as needed. Take measurements when appropriate. 7. All accidents involving death, disfigurement, amputation, loss of consciousness or hospitalization for more than 24 hours will be reported to CaVOSHA immediately. 8. Focus on causes and hazards Develop an analysts of what happened, how it happened, and how it could have been prevented. Determine what caused the accident itself, not just the injury. 9. Every investigation must also include an action plan. How can such accidents be prevented in the future? 10. In the event a third party or defective product contributed to the accident, save any evidence as it could be critical to the recovery of claim costs. Accurate & Prompt Investteauons • Ensures information is available • Causes can be quickly corrected • Helps identify all contributing factors • Reflects management concern • Reduces chance of recurrence Investmatton Tins • Avoid placing blame • Document with photos and diagrams, if needed • Be objective, get the facts • Reconstruct the event • Use open-ended questions Effective 1/18/16 12 STAY GREEN IN('S Safcry Manual and IIPP Ouestions to Ask When investigating accidents, open-ended questions such as who?, what?, when?, where?, why?, and how? This will provide more information than closed -ended questions such as "Were you wearing gloves?' Examples include: • How did it happen? • Why did it happen? • How could it have been prevented? • Who was involved? • Who witnessed the incident? • Where were the witnesses at the time of the incidenC • What was the inured worker doing? • What was the employee working on? • When did it happen? • When was the accident reported? • Where did it happen? • Why was the employee assigned to do the job? The single, most Important question that must be answered as the result of any investigation is: "What do you recommend be done (or have you done) to prevent this type of incident from recurring?" Once the Accident Investigation is Completed: • Take or recommend corrective action • Document corrective action • Management and the safety coordinator will review the results of all investigations • Consider safety program modifications • Information obtained through accident investigations can be used to update and improve our current program Effective 1/18/16 I?

Etfxtive 1/18/16 M STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manual and IIPP Fall Protection Falls are the leading cause of fatal injuries in the landscaping industry. STAY GREEN INC has the following requirements for fall protection at all of ourjob sites and work areas. Fall Protection is Required: When working where there is a hazard of falling more than 7': feet from the perimeter of a structure and 7 %: feet from unprotected sides and edges of a retaining wall. Fall protection is also required when pruning trees. Fall Protection Types One of the following three types of fall protection systems will be used when our employees are exposed to fall hazards in excess of 7'h feet: 1. Personal fall arrest system 2. Positioning devices 3. Fall restraint systems Effective 118!16 _. STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Personal Fall Arrest Systems Personal fall arrest systems consist of a full body harness and a shock absorbing lanyard attached to suitable anchorage. They are also an effective means of preventing fall accidents. The system does not actually stop you from falling, but catches you and safely stops you from hitting the level below. Fall arrest systems will be our preferred means of protection when standard guardrails, safety cables, or covers are not practical. The following rules, in addition to the manufacturer's requirements and OSHA regulations, will be observed: 1. Ropes and straps (webbing) used in lanyards, lifelines, and strength components of body harnesses shall be made from synthetic fibers except when they are used in conjunction with hot work where the lanyard may be exposed to damage from heat or Flame. 2. Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per employee attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of a qualified person. 3. The attachment point of the body belt shall be located in the center of the wearer's back. The attachment point of the body harness shall be located in the center of the wearers back near shoulder level, or above the wearers head. 4. Where practical, the anchor end of the lanyard shall be secured at a level not lower than the employee's waist, limiting the fall distance to a maximum of 4 feet. 5. Harnesses, lanyards, and other components shall be used only for employee protection as part of a personal fall arrest system and not to hoist materials. 6. Personal fall arrest systems and components subjected to impact loading shall be immediately removed from service and shall not be used again for employee protection until inspected and determined by a competent person to be undamaged and suitable for reuse. 7. STAY GREEN INC shall provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall or shall assure that employees are able to rescue themselves. 8. Personal fall arrest systems shall be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage and other deterioration, and defective components shall be removed from service. 9. Any lanyard, safety harness, or drop line subjected to in-service loading, as distinguished from static load testing, shall be immediately removed from service and shall not be used again for employee safeguarding. 10. Personal fall arrest systems shall not be attached to guardrails, unless the guardrail is capable of safely supporting the load. Effective 1/18/16 28 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manml and IIPP 11. Each personal fall arrest system shall be inspected not less than twice annually by a competent person In accordance with the manufacturer's recommmdations. The date of each inspection shall be documented. 12. Personal fall arrest systems will be rigged such that an employee can neither free fall more than 4 feet, nor contact any lower level. 13. Personal fall arrest systems will bring an employee to a complete stop. They will also limit maximum deceleration distance an employee travels to 3.5 feet and have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of an employee free falling a distance of 6 feet, or the free fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less Positioning Device Systems Positioning device systems are designed to allow employees to work with both hands free at elevated locations. By their very nature, they provide some level of fall protection. They are not as effective as railings or fall arrest systems. Positioning device systems may be used together with a fall arrest system for greater safety. Their use shall conform to the following provisions: 1. Positioning devices shall be rigged such that an employee cannot free fall more than 2 feet. 2. Positioning device systems shall be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration and defective components shall be removed from service. 3. Body belts, harnesses, and components shall be used only for employee protection (as part of a personal fall arrest system or positioning device system) and not to hoist materials. 4. The use of non-locking snap hooks is prohibited. 5. Anchorage points for positioning device systems shall be capable of supporting two times the intended load or 3,000 pounds, whichever is greater. Personal Fall Restraint Fall restraint systems are designed to prevent the wearer from reaching the edge or danger area and thus prevent them from falling. Body harnesses may be used for personal fall restraint. 1. Anchorage points used for fall restraint shall be capable of supporting 4 times the intended load. 2. Restraint protection shall be rigged to allow the movement of employees only as far as the sides of the working level or working area. Elective 1+18!16 29 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and UPP In addition, A full body harness and lanyard are required when using boom lifts for tree pruning.

Determining that all persons are clear from hazards which might result from the equipment or systems being energized including arc blast or explosions caused by unexpected faults. 2. Removing locking devices and tags. Locking devices and tags may be removed only by the employee who placed them. Locking devices and tags shall be removed upon completion of the work and after the installation of the protective guards and/or safety interlock systems. Accident Prevention Tags Suitable accident prevention tags shall be used to control a specific hazard. Such tags shall provide the following minimum information: 1. Reason for placing tag. 2. Name of person placing the tag and how that person maybe contacted. 3. Date tag was placed. E1Tecrive 1'18.16 3i STAY GREEN INC'S Sarcty Manual and 11PP Lock -out Tae -out Machinery or equipment capable of movement shall be stopped and the power source de - energized or disengaged, and locked out If necessary, the moveable parts shall be mechanically blocked or secured to prevent inadvertent movement during cleaning, servicing or adjusting operations unless the machinery or equipment must be capable of movement during this period in order to perform the specific task. If so, the hazard of movement shall be minimized. Equipment or power driven machines equipped with lockable controls, or readily adaptable to lockable controls, shall be locked out or positively sealed in the "off' position during repair work and setting -up operations. In all cases, accident prevention signs and/or tags shall be placed on the controls of the equipment or machines during repair work. STAY GREEN INC will provide a sufficient number of accident prevention signs or tags and padlocks, seals or other similarly effective means which may be required by any reasonably foreseeable repair. Sequence of Lockout Procedure 1. Notify all affected employees that a lockout is required and the reason therefore. 2. If the equipment is operating; shut it down by the normal stopping procedure (such as: depress stop button, open toggle switch). 3. Operate the switch, valve, or other energy isolating devices so that the energy source(s) (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, other) is disconnected or isolated from the equipment. 4. Stored energy, such as that in capacitors, springs, elevated machine members, rotating Fly wheels, hydraulic systems, and air, gas, steam or water pressure, must also be dissipated or restrained by methods such as grounding, repositioning, blocking, bleeding down. 5. Lockout energy isolating devices with an assigned individual lock. 6. After ensuring that no personnel are exposed and as a check on having disconnected the energy sources, operate the push button or other normal operating controls to make certain the equipment will not operate. CAUTION: Return operating controls to neutral position after the test. Procedure Involving More Than One Person If more than one individual is required to lock out equipment, each shall place his/her own personal lock on the energy isolating device(s). One designated individual of a work crew or a supervisor, with the knowledge of the crew, may lock out equipment for the whole crew. In such cases, it may be the responsibility of the individual to carry out all steps of the lockout procedure Effective 1/18/16 34 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP and inform the crew when it is safe to work on the equipment. Additionally, the designated individual shall not remove a crew lock until it has been verified that all individuals are clear. Testing Equipment Durine Lockout In many maintenance and repair operations, machinery may need to be tested, and for that purpose energized, before additional maintenance work can be performed. This procedure must be followed: 1. Clear all personnel to safety. 2. Clear away tools and materials from equipment. 3. Remove lockout devices and re-energize systems, following the established safe procedure. 4. proceed with tryout or test. 5. Neutralize all energy sources once again, purge all systems, and lockout prior to continuing work. Equipment design and performance limitations may dictate that effective alternative worker protection be provided when the established lock -out procedure is not feasible. Restoring Equipment to Service After the work is completed and the equipment is ready to be returned to normal operation, this procedure must be followed: I. Remove all non-essential items. 2. See that all equipment components are operationally intact, including guards and safety devices. Repair or replace defective guards before removing lockouts. 3. Remove each lockout device using the correct removal sequence. 4. Make a visual check before restoring energy to ensure that everyone is physically clear of the equipment. Erfative 1.18'16 35 STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manual and 11PP Fleet & Driving Safety Motor vehicle accidents are the third leading cause of fatalities in the landscaping industry. STAY GREEN INC has established the following guidelines and procedures for our drivers and vehicles to protect the safety of individuals operating any motor vehicle on company business. Protecting our employee drivers and the public is of the highest priority. The commitment of management and employees is critical to the success of this program. Clear communication of, and strict adherence to, the program's guidelines and procedures are essential. Our primary goal is to maintain a high level of safety awareness and foster responsible driving behavior. Driver safety awareness and responsible driving behavior will significantly decrease the frequency of motor vehicle accidents and reduce the severity of personal injuries and property damage. Drivers must follow the requirements outlined in this program. Violations of this program may result in disciplinary action up to, and including, suspension of driving privileges or dismissal. Our program consists of the following elements: • Driver selection • Driver training • Vehicle use policy • Vehicle inspection & preventive maintenance • Accident investigation Driver Selection Only company authorized and assigned employees are allowed to drive company vehicles at any time. Prior to being authorized and assigned, STAY GREEN INC will check the following items. Drivers must have: • A valid un -restricted driver's license. • A current MVR driving record with no more than 3 points and no serious or major violations in the past 3 years. STAY GREEN MC will also check driving records of all employees authorized to drive on company business on an annual basis. Employees that do not meet these requirements are not authorized or allowed to drive company vehicles or drive their own vehicle on company business. ERecme 1.18.16 16 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Driver Training All employees driving company vehicles, and personal vehicles on company business, will be given a copy of the Driving Safety Rules and Company Vehicle Use Policy and required to read and sign for them. Safe driving will also be periodically covered at company safety meetings. Company Vehicle Use Policy STAY GREEN INC has established the following policies pertaining to company vehicles I. Personal and off duty use of STAY GREEN INC vehicles is prohibited. 2. Only authorized employees may drive STAY GREEN INC vehicles. These vehicles may include pickups, dump trucks, tractor trailers, all-purpose trailers, bulldozers, and trailers with permanently mounted equipment. They may also include garden tractors with tilling, scraper, excavating and pesticide dispenser attachments. 3. No employee is permitted to drive STAY GREEN INC vehicles while impaired by alcohol, illegal or prescription drugs, m over the counter medications. 4. All accidents involving STAY GREEN INC vehicles must be reported to the office immediately. 5. Employees with two or more preventable accidents in a three year period, or that obtain three points on their driving record, will be subject to a loss of their driving privileges or have their driving privileges restricted. Vehicle Insnection & Preventive Maintenance All STAY GREEN INC vehicles must be inspected by the driver prior to each use. Mechanical defects will be repaired immediately. Supervisors and Managers will periodically spot check company vehicles to determine their condition. Vehicle inspections will include • Lights • Tum signals • Emergency Flashers • Tires • Horn • Braces • Fluids • Windshield condition and wiper condition • Mirrors Effective 1/18/16 37 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP All vehicles will also be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. It is the responsibility of the individual assigned the vehicle to ensure proper maintenance and repairs are performed. If your vehicle is not safe, do not drive. Accident Invesdization All accidents in STAY GREEN INC vehicles will be investigated by the Supervisor or Jorge Donapetry. Where possible, witness's statements will be obtained and photos used to document the scene of the accident and the damage. Police reports will also be obtained whenever possible. The following guidelines will be used to help determine preventability. Auto Accident Preventability Guide This guide will assist in determining whether our driver could have prevented the accident. An accident is preventable if the driver could have done something to avoid it. Drivers are expected to drive defensively. Which driver was primarily at fault, which received a traffic citation, or whether a claim was paid has no bearing on preventability. If there was anything our driver could have done to avoid the collision, then the accident was preventable. An accident was non preventable when the vehicle was legally and properly parked, or when properly stopped because of a highway patrol officer, a signal, stop sign, or traffic condition. When judging accident preventability, here are some general questions to consider I. Does the investigation indicate that the driver considers the rights of others, or is there evidence of poor driving habits which need to be changed? 2. Does the investigation indicate driver awareness? Such phrases as "1 did not see," "I didn't think," "I didn't expect," or "I thought" are signals indicating there probably was a lack of awareness, and the accident was preventable An aware driver should think, expect, and see hazardous situations in time to avoid collisions. 3. Was the driver under any physical stresses that could have been contributory? Did the accident happen near the end of a long day or long drive? Did overeating contribute to fatigue? Did the driver get prior sufficient sleep? Is the driver's vision faulty? Was the driver feeling ill? 4. Was the vehicle defective without the drivers knowledge? Was a pre-tnp inspection done, and would it have discovered the defect? A car which pulls to the left or right when the driver applies the brakes, faulty windshield wipers, and similar items are excuses, and a driver using them is trying to evade responsibility. Sudden brake failure, loss of steering, or a blowout might be defects beyond the drivers ability to predict. However, pre -trip inspections and regularly scheduled maintenance should prevent most of these problems. If either of these are the cause of the accident, then the accident was probably preventable by the driver. Effmtive 1 "14. IE 31 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and 11PP 5. Could the driver have exercised better judgment by taking an alternate route through less congested areas to reduce the hazardous situations encountered? 6. Could the driver have done anything to avoid the accident? 7. Was the driver's speed safe for conditions? 8. Did the driver obey all traffic signals? 9. Was the driver's vehicle under control? Intersection Collision Failure of our driver to yield the right-of-way, regardless of who has the right of way, as indicated by stop signs or lights, is preventable. The only exception to this is when the driver is properly proceeding through an intersection protected by lights or stop signs and the driver's vehicle is struck in the extreme rear side of the vehicle. Regardless of stop signs, stoplights, or right-of-way, a defensive driver recognizes that the right-of-way belongs to anyone who assumes it and should yield accordingly. Questions to consider: I. Did the driver approach the intersection at a speed safe for conditions? 2. Was the driver prepared to stop before entering the intersection? 3. At a blind comer, did the driver pull out slowly, ready to apply the brakes? 4. Did the driver look both ways before proceeding through the intersection? Sideswirt Sideswipes are often preventable. Defensive drivers do not get into a position where they can be forced into another vehicle or another vehicle can be forced into them. Defensive clovers continuously check for escape routes to avoid sideswipes. For two lane roads, this means a driver should pass another vehicle only when absolutely certain that he or she can safely complete the pass. A driver should also be ready to slow down and let a passing vehicle that has failed to judge safe passing distance back into the lane. A driver should make no sudden moves that may force another vehicle to swerve. If a driver sideswipes a stationary object while taking evasive action to avoid striking another car or a pedestrian, such an accident may not be preventable. However, you should consider what the driver could have done or failed to do immediately preceding the evasive action to be in the position of no other options. A driver is also expected to anticipate the actions of an oncoming vehicle. Sideswiping an oncoming vehicle is often preventable. Again, evasive action, including leaving the roadway, may be necessary if an oncoming vehicle crosses into the driver's lane. Drivers are expected to allow merging vehicles to merge smoothly with them, and to merge smoothly on controlled Effective 1/18116 39 STAY GREEN INCS Salley Manual and IIPP access highways. Drivers are expected to be able to gauge distances properly when leaving a parking place and enter tmtiic smoothly. Questions to consider: I. Did the driver look to front and rear for approaching and overtaking traffic immediately before starting to pull away from the curb? 2. Did the driver signal before pulling away from the curb? 3. Did the driver look back rather than depend only upon rear-view mirrors? 4. Did the driver start into traffic only when this action would not require traffic to change its speed or direction in order to avoid his or her vehicle? Head-on Collisions A head-on collision with a vehicle traveling in the wrong lane may be preventable if the driver could have pulled off the road or taken other evasive action to prevent a collision. However, the driver should never drive into the other lane to avoid the oncoming vehicle. If the driver swerved off the road to avoid a head-on collision, the accident is non preventable. The driver in this case made a good defensive driving decision, taking the lesser of two evils. Many skidding conditions are caused by min, freezing rain, fog, and snow, which all increase the hazard of travel. Oily road film, which builds up during a period of good weather, causes an especially treacherous condition during the first minutes of a rainfall. Loss of traction can be anticipated, and these accidents usually are preventable. Driving too fast for conditions is the most common reason why these types of accidents are preventable. Questions to consider: I . Was the driver operating at a safe speed considering weather and road conditions? 2. During inclement weather, was the driver keeping at least twice the safe following distance used for dry pavement? 3. Were all actions gradual? 4. Was the driver anticipating ice on bridges, in gutter, ruts, and near the curb? S. Was the driver alert for water, ice or snow in shaded areas, loose gravel, sand, nuts, etc. If a driver goes off the road or strikes another vehicle because of skidding, the accident is preventable. Elfmove 1/18/16 to STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Pedestrian Accidents All types of pedestrian accidents, including collisions with pedestrians coming from between parked cars, are usually considered preventable. There are few instances where the action of pedestrians is so unreasonable that the operator could not be expected to anticipate such an occurrence. Questions to consider I. Did the driver go through congested areas expecting that pedestrians would step in front of the vehicle? 2. Was the driver prepared to stop? 3. Did the driver keep as much clearance between his or her vehicle and parked vehicles, as safety permitted? 4. Did the driver stop when other vehicles had stopped to allow pedestrians to cross? 5. Did the driver wait for the green light or slop for the caution light? 6. Was the driver aware of children and prepared to stop if one ran into the street? 7. Did the driver give all pedestrians the right-of-way? 8. Did the driver stop for a school bus which was stopped and properly signaling that passengers were loading or unloading? Backing Accidents Backing a vehicle into another vehicle, an overhead obstruction, or a stationary object are normally preventable. The fact that someone was directing the driver in backing does not relieve the driver of the responsibility to back safely. Questions to consider I. Was it necessary to back? 2. Did the driver plan ahead so that he or she could have pulled forward out of the parking space instead of backing? 3. Was it necessary to drive into the narrow street, dead-end alley, or driveway from which he or she backed? 4. If the driver could not see where he or she was backing: Did the driver try to get someone to guide him or her? 5. Did the driver look all around the vehicle before backing? Did the driver back immediately after looking? 6. Did the driver use the horn while backing? Were the back-up lights working? 7. Did the driver look to the rear without relying totally on the rear-view mirror? 8. If the distance was long, did the driver stop, get out, and look around occasionally? 9. Did the driver back slowly? 10. Did the driver judge clearances accurately? Effective 1 1816 STAY GREEN INCS Safety Manual and IIPP Parking Accidents Doors on our driver's parked vehicle that are damaged when opened on the traffic side are considered preventable accidents. The driver is responsible to see that the traffic side is clear of traffic, before any doors on that side are opened. In most cases, if our driver, while driving, strikes a parked vehicles opening door it is considered preventable. Usually our driver can see from a sufficient distance that the parked vehicle is occupied, and should therefore, be prepared to stop, should move closer to the center line or change lanes. It is a driver's responsibility to park the vehicle so that it will remain stationary. A runaway type accident is preventable and blaming such a collision on defective parking brakes or other holding devices are inadequate excuses. A good pre -trip inspection and maintenance program will eliminate most opportunities for this type of accident being the result of mechanical failure. Accidents occurring when vehicles are properly and legally parked are considered non preventable. Accidents occurring while the vehicle was double parked or in a "No Parking" zone are preventable. Questions to consider: I . Was the vehicle parked on the proper side of the road? 2. Was it necessary to park there or was there a safer, only slightly less convenient place nearby? 3. Did the driver have to park on the traveled part of the highway, on the curve, or on the hill? 4. When required, did the driver want traffic by emergency warning devices? 5. Did the driver park parallel to the curb? 6. Was it necessary to park so close to an alley or directly across from a driveway? Collision With Obstructions Obstructions can be avoided if the driver knows the height and width of the vehicle, pays attention to posted clearances, and takes the time to properly judge clearances. Cargo Accidents The accident should be considered preventable if the investigation shows a mechanical defect of which the driver was aware, a defect the driver should have found by inspecting the vehicle, or the driver caused the accident by rough and abusive handling. It is a driver's responsibility to secure cargo properly to prevent shifting, loss, or damage. Cargo should be safely stowed to prevent flying objects that can strike or distract the driver. Effective 1 1 3: 16 d_ STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and 11PP Trenching and Excavation Our landscaping activities may include the construction of retaining walls, irrigation systems or ponds that occasionally require our employees to work in trenches and excavations. Each year in California, four construction workers die in trench cave-ins. To prevent this from occurring, the following precautions are mandatory when STAY GREEN INC employees work in trenches or excavations that are 5 feet deep or greater.

Daily inspections of excavations, the adjacent areas, and protective systems shall be made by a competent person for evidence of a situation that could result in possible cave-ins, indications of failure of protective systems, hazardous atmospheres, or other hazardous conditions. An inspection shall be conducted by the competent person prior to the start of work and as needed throughout the shift. Inspections shall also be made after every rain storm or other hazard increasing occurrence. These inspections are only required when employee exposure can be reasonably anticipated. 2. Where the competent person finds evidence of a situation that could result in a possible cave- in, indications of failure of protective systems, hazardous atmospheres, or other hazardous conditions, exposed employees shall be removed from the hazardous area until the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure their safety. 3. A stairway, ladder, ramp or other safe means of egress shall be located in trench excavations that are 4 feet or more in depth so as to require no more than 25 feet of lateral travel for employees. Effective 1/18/16 44 STAY GREEN INCS Safety Manual and IIPP 4. Where employees or equipment are required or permitted to cross over excavations over 6 feet and wider than 30 inches, walkways or bridges with standard guardrails shall be provided. 5. When mobile equipment is operated adjacent to an excavation, or when such equipment is required to approach the edge of an excavation, and the operator does not have a clear and direct view of the edge of the excavation, a warning system shall be utilized such as barricades, hand or mechanical signals, or stop logs. If possible, the grade should be away from the excavation. 6. Adequate protection shall be provided to protect employees from loose rock or soil that could pose a hazard by falling or rolling from an excavation face. Such protection shall consist of scaling to remove loose material; installation of protective barricades at intervals as necessary on the face to stop and contain falling material; or other means that provide equivalent protection. 7. Employees shall be protected from excavated or other materials or equipment that could pose a hazard by falling or rolling into excavations. protection shall be provided by placing and keeping such materials or equipment at least 2 feet from the edge of excavations, or by the use of retaining devices that are sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations, or by a combination of both if necessary. 8. Where oxygen deficiency (atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen) or a hazardous atmosphere exists or could reasonably be expected to exist, such as in excavations in landfill areas or excavations in areas where hazardous substances are stored nearby, the atmosphere in the excavation shall be tested before employees enter excavations greater than 4 feet in depth. 9. Adequate precautions shall be taken to prevent employee exposure to atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen and other hazardous atmospheres. These precautions include providing proper respiratory protection or ventilation. 10. Adequate precautions shall be taken, such as providing ventilation, to prevent employee exposure to an atmosphere containing a concentration of a flammable gas in excess of 20 percent of the lower flammable limit of the gas. 11. When controls are used that are intended to reduce the level of atmospheric contaminants to acceptable levels, testing shall be conducted as often as necessary to ensure that the atmosphere remains safe. 12. Emergency rescue equipment, such as breathing apparatus, a safety harness and line, or a basket stretcher, shall be readily available where hazardous atmospheric conditions exist or may reasonably be expected to develop during work in an excavation. This equipment shall be attended when in use. Effective 1/18/16 45 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP 13. Employees shall not work in excavations in which there is accumulated water, or in excavations in which water is accumulating, unless adequate precautions have been taken to protect employees against the hazards posed by water accumulation. The precautions necessary to protect employees adequately vary with each situation, but could include special support or shield systems to protect from cave-ins, water removal to control the level of accumulating water, or use of a safety harness and lifeline. 14. If water is controlled or prevented from accumulating by the use of water removal equipment, the water removal equipment and operations shall be monitored by a competent person to ensure proper operation. 15. If excavation work interrupts the natural drainage of surface water (such as streams), diversion ditches, dikes, or other suitable means shall be used to prevent surface water from entering the excavation and to provide adequate drainage of the area adjacent to the excavation. Excavations subject to mnoff from heavy rains will require an inspection by a competent person.

Whenever respirators are required to be used to control exposure to pesticides and other harmful gents, only respiratory equipment approved for that purpose shall be used and such equipment shall be approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Only parts approved for the specific respirator system shall be used for replacement. General Resniratory Protection Guidelines: 1. Atmospheric contamination will be prevented wherever feasible through engineering controls such as enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local exhaust ventilation, or substitution of less toxic materials. When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted, appropriate respirators shall be used. '_. STAY GREEN INC shall identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard(s) in the workplace; this evaluation shall include a reasonable estimate of employee exposures to respiratory hazard(s) and an identification of the contaminant's chemical state and physical form. Where we cannot identify or reasonably estimate the employee exposure, the atmosphere shall be considered to be immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH). 3. Respirators shall be provided when such equipment is necessary to protect the health of the employee. 4. Only NIOSH -certified respirators shall be used. The respirator shall be used in compliance with the conditions of its certification. 5. STAY GREEN INC will provide respirators that are applicable and suitable for the purpose intended. We shall select and provide an appropriate respirator based on the respiratory hazard(s) to which the worker is exposed and workplace and user factors that affect respirator performance and reliability. 6. Respirators shall be selected from a sufficient number of respirator models and sizes so that the respirator is acceptable to, and correctly fits, the user. 7. Jorge C-estanedeDonanctry, Operations Manager of Plant Health Care shall act as the Program Administrator who is qualified by appropriate training or experience that is commensurate with the complexity of the program to administer or oversee the respiratory protection program and conduct the required evaluations of program effectiveness. 8. STAY GREEN INC will provide respirators, training, and medical evaluations at no cost to the employee Effative I/19r 16 49 STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manual and IIPP 9. STAY GREEN INC will provide a medical evaluation to determine the employee's ability to use a respirator, before the employee is fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace. We may discontinue an employees medical evaluations when the employee is no longer required to use a respirator. 10. STAY GREEN INC will ensure that employees using a tight -fitting facepiece respirator pass an appropriate qualitative fit test (QLFf) or quantitative fit test (QNFf). 11. STAY GREEN INC will establish and implement procedures for the proper use of respirators. These requirements include prohibiting conditions that may result in facepiece seal leakage, preventing employees from removing respirators in hazardous environments, taking actions to ensure continued effective respirator operation throughout the work shift, and establishing procedures for the use of respirators in IDLH atmospheres. 12. We shall provide each respirator user with a respirator that is clean, sanitary, and in good working order. The Supervisor or Supervisor shall ensure that respirators are cleaned and disinfected. 13. All filters, cartridges and canisters used in the workplace must be legibly labeled and color coded with the NIOSH approval label that must not be removed. 14. Training and information will be provided to employees who are required to use respirators. The training will be comprehensive, understandable, and recur annually or more often if necessary. 15.

Employees shall not be assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators unless it has been determined that they are physically able to perform the work while using the required respiratory equipment. 2. STAY GREEN INC shall identify a physician or other Licensed Health Care Professional (PLHCP) to perform medical evaluations. 3. The medical evaluation shall include any medical tests, consultations, or diagnostic procedures that the PLHCP deems necessary to make a final determination. 4. Medical questionnaires and examinations shall be administered confidentially during the employees normal working hours or at a time and place convenient to the employee. 5. The employee shall have an opportunity to discuss the examination results with the PLHCP. 6. The following information must be provided to the PLHCP before the PLHCP makes a recommendation concerning an employee's ability to use a respirator: • The type and weight of the respirator to be used by the employee; • The duration and frequency of respirator use (including use for rescue and escape); • The expected physical work effort; • Additional protective clothing and equipment to be wom; and • Temperature and humidity extremes that may be encountered. 7. STAY GREEN INC shall provide the PLHCP with a copy of this written respiratory protection program and a copy of the OSHA regulations if they do not already have them. 8. In determining the employee's ability to use a respirator, STAY GREEN INC shall obtain a written recommendation regarding the employee's ability to use the respirator from the PLHCP. The recommendation shall provide only the following information: • Any limitations on respirator use related to the medical condition of the employee, or relating to the workplace conditions in which the respirator will be used, including whether or not the employee is medically able to use the respirator; • The need, if any, for follow-up medical evaluations; and • A statement that the PLHCP has provided the employee with a copy of the PLHCP's written recommendation. 9. If the respirator is a negative pressure respirator and the PLHCP finds a medical condition that may place the employee's health at increased risk if the respirator is used, STAY GREEN INC shall provide a PAPR if the PLHCP's medical evaluation finds that the employee can use such a respirator; if a subsequent medical evaluation finds that the employee is medically able to use a negative pressure respirator, then we are no longer required to provide a PAPR. Etramive 1/18/16 52 STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manaal and IIPP 10. STAY GREEN INC shall provide additional medical evaluations that comply with the requirements of this section iF. • An employee reports medical signs or symptoms that are related to ability to use a respirator; • A PLHCP, supervisor, or the respirator program administrator informs the employer that an employee needs to be reevaluated; • Information from the respiratory protection program, including observations made during fit testing and program evaluation, indicates a need for employee reevaluation; or • A change occurs in workplace conditions (e.g., physical work effort, protective clothing, temperature) that may result in a substantial increase in the physiological burden placed on an employee. Fit Testine 1. STAY GREEN INC shall ensure that an employee using a tight -fitting facepiece respirator is fit tested prior to initial use of the respirator, whenever a different respirator facepime (size, style, model or make) is used, and at least annually thereafter. 2. We shall conduct an additional fit test whenever the employee reports, or the employer, PLHCP, supervisor, or program administrator makes visual observations of, changes in the employees physical condition that could affect respirator fit. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, facial scarring, dental changes, cosmetic surgery, or an obvious change in body weight. 3. If after passing a QLFT or QNFr, the employee subsequently notifies the program administrator, supervisor, or PLHCP that the fit of the respirator is unacceptable, the employee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to select a different respirator facepiece and to be retested. 4. The fittest shall be administered using an OSHA -accepted QLFT or QNFT protocol. Usaee Rules I. STAY GREEN INC shall not permit respirators with tight -fitting facepteces to be worn by employees who have: • Facial hair that comes between the sealing surface of the fecepiece and the face or that interferes with valve function; or • Any condition that interferes with the face-to-facepiece seal or valve function. 2. If an employee wears corrective glasses or goggles or other personal protective equipment, we shall ensure that such equipment is worn in a manner that does not interfere with the seal of the facepiece to the face of the user.

Procedures for Cleaning Respirators. I. Remove filters, cartridges, or canisters. Disassemble facepieces by removing speaking diaphragms, demand and pressure -demand valve assemblies, hoses, or any components recommended by the manufacturer. Discard and replace any defective pans. 2. Wash components in warn (43 deg. C [I 10 deg. F] maximum) water with a mild detergent or with a cleaner recommended by the manufacturer. A stiff bristle (not wire) brush may be used to facilitate the removal of dirt 3. Rinse components thoroughly in clean, warn (43 deg C [I 10 deg. F] maximum), preferably running water. Drain. 4. When the cleaner used does not contain a disinfecting agent, respirator components should be immersed for two minutes in one of the following: • Hypochlorite solution (50 ppm of chlorine) made by adding approximately one milliliter of laundry bleach to one liter of water at 43 deg. C (I 10 deg. F); or, • Aqueous solution of iodine (50 ppm iodine) made by adding approximately 0.8 milliliters of tincture of iodine (6-8 grams ammonium and/or potassium iodidell00 cc of 45% alcohol) to one liter of water at 43 deg. C (I 10 deg F); or, • Other commercially available cleansers of equivalent disinfectant quality when used as directed, if their use is recommended or approved by the respirator manufacturer. 5. Rinse components thoroughly in clean, warm (43 deg C [I 10 deg F] maximum), preferably running water. Drain. The importance of thorough rinsing cannot be overemphasized. Detergents or disinfectants that dry on facepieces may result in dermatitis. In addition, some disinfectants may cause deterioration of rubber or corrosion of metal parts if not completely removed. 6. Components should be hand -dried with a clean lint -free cloth or air-dried. 7. Reassemble facepiece, replacing filters, cartridges, and canisters where necessary. Effective I IA. 16 58 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP 8. Test the respirator to ensure that all components work properly. Elfmtive UI8%16 59 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and 11PP Appendix D to Section 5144 Mandatory Information for Employees Using Respirators When Not Required Respirators are an effective method of protection against designated hazards when properly selected and wom. Respirator use is encouraged, even when exposures are below the exposure limit, to provide an additional level of comfort and protection for workers. However, if a respirator is used improperly or not kept clean, the respirator itself can become a hazard to the worker. Sometimes, workers may wear respirators to avoid exposures to hazards, even if the amount of hazardous substance does not exceed the limits set by OSHA standards. If your employer provides respirators for your voluntary use, or if you provide your own respirator, you need to take certain precautions to be sure that the respirator itself does not present a hazard. You should do the following: I. Read and heed all instructions provided by the manufacturer on use, maintenance, cleaning and care, and warnings regarding the respirators limitations. 2. Choose respirators certified for use to protect against the contaminant of concern. NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, certifies respirators. A label or statement of certification should appear on the respirator or respirator packaging. It will tell you what the respirator is designed for and how much it will protect you. 3. Do not wear your respirator into atmospheres containing contaminants for which your respirator is not designed to protect against. For example, a respirator designed to filter dust particles will not protect you against gases, vapors, or very small solid particles of fumes or smoke. 4. Keep track of your respirator so that you do not mistakenly use someone else's respirator. Effective 1:1816 N1 STAY GREEN fNC'S Safety Manml -nd UPP Ergonomics Studies have shown over the years that poorly designed and arranged work areas, awkward work postures and repetitive motions can lead to a variety of injuries including carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, which are often referred to as repetitive motion injuries (RMI's). As with cancer, heart disease, and many other ailments, there are risk factors that increase an individual's likelihood of developing RMI's. If the risk factors are reduced, so are the chances of being injured. While some of these risk factors, such as family history, cannot be controlled in the employment setting, many can. Including: • The force used to perform a task, • Posture while performing tasks, • The number of repetitions performed in a given time period, and • Mechanical stresses such as hard surfaces. STAY GREEN INC has developed the following program designed to minimize RMls. The program includes worksite evaluations, control of exposures that have caused RMIs and training of employees. Worksite Evaluation and Exposure Reduction. Each job, process, or operation of identical work activity that has resulted in at least two RMI's or a representative number of such jobs, processes, or operations shall be evaluated for exposures that have caused RMIs. STAY GREEN INC may request assistance from outside consultants for this purpose. Any exposures that have caused RMIs shall, in a timely manner, be corrected or if not capable of being corrected have the exposures minimized to the extent feasible. We shall consider engineering controls, such as workstation redesign, adjustable fixtures or tool redesign, and administrative controls, such as job rotation, work pacing or work breaks. Tminine Affected employees shall be provided training that includes an explanation of: • STAY GREEN INC program; • The exposures which have been associated with RMIs; • The symptoms and consequences of injuries caused by repetitive motion; • The importance of reporting symptoms and injuries to their supervisor; and • Methods used to minimize RMIs • This will include team lifting with heavy objects, such as landscape rocks, shrubs, trees, dirt, sand, gravel, and sod; and the use of material handling aids for assistance when handling large objects, e.g., railroad ties, fencing materials, decorative stone, patio ornamentation, etc. Elfative 1/18/16 61 STAY GREEN INC's Safety Manual and IIPP Garden Tractors, Dump Trucks and Bulldozers Each year about 100 workers are killed and almost 95,000 injured in tractor, truck and bulldozer accidents across the country.

Effective 1 18.16 67 STAY GREEN INCS Safely Manual and IIPP Office Safety Office accidents can and do happen. To prevent them, STAY GREEN INC has developed the following rules for our office staff. We will also endeavor to include office employees in periodic safety meetings. If at any time, you feel there is a safety hazard, or you have any safety concerns, please do not hesitate to notify Jorge Donapetry, HR Manager. I . Report all accidents and injuries, no matter how minor, to your supervisor immediately. 2. Correct or report any safety hazards that you observe. 3. Clean up any spilled material that may present a slipping hazard. 4. Do not stretch any cords across aisles that may present a tripping hazard. 5. No one is allowed to climb on shelves or stand on chairs; you must use a step stool or ladder. 6. Keep all legs of the chair on the floor. Do not tilt chairs too far back. 7. No one shall be in the possession of, or under the influence of, alcohol or controlled substances while on the premises. 8. No horseplay will be tolerated. 9. Close file drawers when not in use. 10. Do not open more than one file drawer at a time. This could cause the cabinet to tip. 11. Do not store heavy objects above your head which could fall on you in an earthquake. 12. Do not store flammable or combustible materials near heaters or other heat sources. 13. If you are unsure how to do any task safely, ask your supervisor. 14. Do not operate any equipment you are not trained and authorized to use. 15. Always follow safe lifting procedures when lifting any object and get help for heavy loads • Bend your knees, not your back. • Keep the load close to body. • Keep your back straight. • Lift with your legs. • Do not lift and twist. Ef m ive 1/I8/I6 66 STNV GRELN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Office Ereonomics Studies have shown over the years that poorly designed and arranged work areas and repetitive motions can lead to a variety of injuries including carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, which arc often referred to as repetitive motion injuries (RMI). As with cancer, heart disease, and many other ailments, there are risk factors that increase an individual's likelihood of developing RMI. If the risk factors are reduced, so are the chances of being injured. While some of these risk factors, such as family history, cannot be controlled in the employment setting, many can, including: • The force used to perforin a task • Posture while performing tasks. • The number of repetitions performed in a given time period. • Mechanical stresses such as hard surfaces. The most significant RMI risk factor in office environments is poor body posture caused by improper workstation design or layout. In many cases employees are required to work in awkward positions for long periods of time. This greatly increases the likelihood of injury. Fortunately, this is often the easiest problem to correct. The goal is to perform work in neutral posture as much as possible. Neutral posture is best described as the most comfortable position and usually involves little or no twisting or deviation of the joints. To apply the principle of neutral posture to the office setting we need to look at the five major components of office workstations. They are: the chair, the computer keyboard, the desk, the computer monitor, and the work product. Chairs are often the most overlooked piece of office equipment, yet they are the single most important item from an ergonomic standpoint. A poor chair that lacks adjustments and support makes it almost impossible to work comfortably and in neutral posture. Good office chairs are fully adjustable including: • Chair height. • Height of the back rest. • The position forward or back of the backrest. • The position forward or back of the seat pan. • The angle (tilt) of the seat pan. • If armrests are provided, they should be height and width adjustable. In many cases, fully adjustable chairs are provided for employees, but they never adjust them. Make sure you understand all of the adjustments your chair has and how to use them. When in doubt, read the owner's manual or ask. A properly adjusted chair should allow the user to rest their feet comfortably on the floor without putting pressure on their lower thighs. Their knees should be approximately the same height as their hips, or slightly higher, and they should be able to sit back against the backrest which is positioned for low back support If your feet don't rest comfortably on the floor the chair is loo high. If the chair cannot be lowered any further, a Effective 1/18/16 69 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP footrest should be used. Whether armrests are provided depends on the type of workstation and personal preference. If they are provided, they should be height adjustable to allow the arms to rest comfortably on them without excessive shoulder drop. Armrests should also be well padded to reduce pressure on the lower arms. Once the chair is properly adjusted, the next step is to position the keyboard to minimize bend in your wrists. In order to accomplish this, it is often necessary to have a position and height adjustable keyboard tray attached to the underside of the desk. These should not be confused with keyboard drawers that can not be adjusted for height or position. If you do not use a tray, the only way to adjust the keyboard height is by moving the desk that is difficult at best, and sometimes impossible. Using a tray also frees up workspace on the desk where the keyboard once sat. The height of the keyboard should be set so that there is approximately a 90•degree angle between the upper and lower arms. There should also be a straight line from the elbow out through your fingers. If your fingers hang down too much or bend up, creating a "V" between your hand and forearm, you place extra stress on your wrist. Many people find it comfortable to use padded wrist rests in front of the keyboard. This often helps minimize wrist defection. The keyboard tray should also be adjusted so that you do not have to reach forward too far to type. Your elbows should be close to your side and back by your spine, not out in front of you. Do not extend the small legs on the bottom of the keyboard tray. This increases the wrist angle unnecessarily. Many keyboard trays now also have extensions for your mouse. This places everything you need within easy reach. After you have adjusted the chair and keyboard tray, try using your desk. You should be able to comfortably write and use your other office equipment such as the calculator and phone. Some of these items may need to be moved closer to you. Your legs should also fit easily under the desk. Often, stored items such as boxes block this and should be removed. The standard desk height is fine for most people. If you are exceptionally tall or short, however, adjusting the desk up or down an inch, if possible, may be helpful. Now you are ready to position your monitor. It should be directly in front of you. Monitors that are off to one side cause you to tum your neck that can lead to injury. The top of the screen should be at about eye level. If the screen is too low your neck will ache from constantly looking down. Monitors can easily be raised by putting old phone books or reams of copy paper under them. You may also use a special adjustable monitor holder to free up desk space. Tilt the screen so that the top is closer to you than the bottom. This will reduce glare from overhead lights. If you can't get away from outside Iigh4 use a glare screen to improve contrast and reduce eye strain that can cause headaches. Also know how to adjust the screen contrast and brightness controls and keep the screen clean and free of dust and fingerprints. The work product should be kept within easy reach. Heavy notebooks or binders that you use often should be placed near you. If you use the phone a lot, consider using a headset to reduce neck strain and free up your hands for other tasks. Copy holders can be very helpful if you are Effective 1/18/16 70 STAY GREEN INC'S Sarery Manual and IIPP entering data or typing from paper. Set them up so they are as close to the screen as possible to reduce neck motion. The risk factors of force, repetition, and mechanical stress are also controllable in an office environment. Force can be reduced by using automatic staplers and date stamps. If heavy files, boxes, or other items must be moved, use cans and dollies. When filing, use two hands to hold the larger files and keep heavy items stored between knee and shoulder height to reduce strain on your back and arms. Repetition is controllable through the use of task management. Break up the work as much as possible throughout the day. If possible, do not spend more than two hours at a time typing or entering data. Intersperse other tasks such as filing to use other muscle groups. You should take ten-minute breaks every two hours if you are doing repetitive tasks. Mechanical stress occurs when you rest parts of your body against hard or sharp objects; this cut off blood Flow and presses on nerves, which can lead to numbness and tingling. Sharp edges can be padded or cushioned where needed to reduce this. E1Teetive 1/18/16 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and 11PP Code of Safe Practices General Safety Rules I.

Pnnt Name Sign Name Date Copy: Employee File Elfative 1!18/16 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and IIPP Hazard Communication Employee Training Handbook It is important that all of our employees understand the information given about hazardous materials. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask your supervisor or contact Jorge Donapetry at (800) 858-5508 x-104. This material has been prepared to assist our employees in better understanding the hazardous materials which they commonly work with. Chemicals can enter the body in a number of ways, including inhalation, skin contact or ingestion. The hazard of any substance is dependent on other variables such as age, sex and health of the employee as well as the concentration and duration of exposure. In other words, the same amount of a chemical may produce very different effects on two different people Chemicals are controlled in the workplace in such a manner so as to keep exposures below a level that may produce a reaction in very sensitive people. These levels are set by the government in the interest of minimizing harmful health effects of chemicals in the workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established specific legally enforced permissible exposure limits (PEL) for hazardous substances in the workplace. The PEL indicates the concentration of airborne contaminants to which nearly all workers may be exposed to for eight hours a day, forty hours a week, over a working lifetime of 30 years, without adverse health effects. Additional information on the materials you may be exposed to can be found in the product's Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). A complete folder of MSDS is available to you at all times in the office. Your supervisor also has copies of data sheets on commonly used items. At any time, an employee has the right to • Access the MSDS folder, and the Hazard Communication Program. • Receive a copy of any chemical sampling data collected in the workplace. • See their employment medical records upon request. Personal protective equipment acts as a barrier to the routes of entry that a chemical may take into your body. As a barrier to chemicals that can be inhaled, there are a variety of respirators that may be used. The respirators either filter out particles, react with chemicals to neutralize them, or provide fresh, filtered air. There are two important things to remember about using respirators. The first is that a respirator only works when you wear it and use it properly. Second, and equally important, is that you must use the proper respirator for the specific hazard. Respirators designed for one type of chemical will not work for another. One last note about respirators is that no one is allowed to use any respirator without proper training. It is against the law to use a respirator without formal training in its proper use. Effective Ir18:16 iI STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and 11PP As a barrier to skin, we have gloves, facemasks, protective clothing, and head protection. A combination of these items may be necessary to provide the proper level of protection in your area. As a barrier to the eyes, a variety of eye protection may be used. Goggles are recommended when pouring or handling chemicals which may splash the eyes. They are also recommended while spraying adhesives and paints. Protect your eyes; your vision is priceless and irreplaceable. There is no real protection against swallowing materials except good work practices. Always label any container to prevent accidental drinking. Always thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Keep any food and cigarettes away from the work area. Breads, fruits, and cigarettes can actually absorb chemicals from the air, to be inhaled or ingested later. Prolonged exposure to excessive noise can cause permanent hearing damage. For those employees working in areas where excessive noise is generated, it is recommended that earplugs or ear muffs be used on a regular basis. General first aid practices should be followed in the event of exposure to insecticides, pesticides, or other hazardous materials. EYES: Flush eyes for at least 15 minutes with water. SKIN: Wash the affected area with soap and water. If clothing is involved, remove and launder before putting back on. If caustic materials are spilled, remove clothing immediately and wash off of the body. INGESTION: Do Not Induce Vomiting Unless the Label Indicates - transport the affected person to the medical clinic immediately for treatment or call 911. They will take the appropriate action. INHALATION: Generally, removing the person to fresh air is adequate after short-term exposure to most vapors. If breathing difficulty develops, dial 911 and be prepared to administer CPR. The provisions set forth by the Federal Hazard Communication Program dictate that all containers of hazardous materials must be properly labeled. All containers of hazardous materials used must have, at a minimum, the original label provided by the manufacturer or a locally prepared label describing its contents and hazards involved.

Effective VI8 16 as STAY GREEN INC's Safcty Manual and IIPP Driving Safety Rules Motor vehicle accidents continue to be the leading cause of workplace death in the nation In 1995 alone, 1,329 workers were killed on the job, in auto accidents. That's one employee death every 7 hours of every day. Motor vehicle accidents arc:* • The leading cause of death at work. • The leading cause of death for people age 15 to 24. • The second most common cause of death for people age 25 to 44. • The third most common cause of death for people age 45 to 64. • The fifth most common cause of death for all ages behind heart disease, cancer, stroke, and lung disease. *Source: 1995 statistics from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Fortunately, auto accidents are often preventable. By driving defensively and using good judgment, you can significantly reduce your chances of being hurt or killed in a motor vehicle. The following defensive driving tips are designed to help you avoid accidents and injuries from your Fleet operations. These rules are mandatory for all employees driving STAY GREEN INC vehicles. I. Personal and off duty use of STAY GREEN INC vehicles is prohibited. 2. Only authorized employees may drive STAY GREEN INC vehicles. No other family members may drive company vehicles. 3. Non-employee passengers are not permitted in STAY GREEN INC vehicles at any time unless they are business related. 4. Seat belts must be wom in STAY GREEN INC vehicles at all times. 5.

All accidents involving STAY GREEN INC vehicles must be reported to the office immediately. 7. Employees with two or more preventable accidents in a three year period, or that obtain three points on their driving record, will be subject to a loss of their driving privileges or have their driving privileges restricted. Effective 1/18/16 87 STAY GREEN INC'S Safety Manual and 11PP 8. The single biggest thing you can do to save your life is wear your seat belt. Hundreds of studies over the years have proven, without a doubt, that seat belts save lives. This is true even in crashes involving fire and water submersion. Properly worn seat belts actually absorb crash forces that, otherwise, would be transferred to your body. If the seat bells in your vehicle are inoperative or defective, have them repaired or replaced immediately. You should wear the lap belt low across your hips and have the shoulder strap directly across your chest. You also need to keep the belt tight. There should not be more than an inch between your body and the belt at any point 9. Get the big picture while driving. Keep your eyes aimed high and try to anticipate hazards and other drivers' mistakes. You should be looking well ahead of where you are. You should also always leave yourself an out in case the other driver does the unexpected. 10. Maintain a safe following distance at all times. Approximately 1/3 of all auto accidents are rear end collisions. You should be at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you to allow yourself sufficient time to stop. Do not tailgate. Following distances should be increased for larger vehicles or if in slippery or rainy conditions. 11. Avoid passing on two lane roads. Head on collisions are the most common cause of fatalities. You should also mm on your headlights while driving on two lane roads. This helps oncoming traffic see and avoid you. Never pass another vehicle on blind turns or hills. 12. You must be sober and alert at all times while driving. The use of drugs or alcohol while driving, or prior to driving, significantly increases your chances of having an accident It should be at least eight hours from the time you take a drink until operating a vehicle. You should also avoid the use of prescription or over the counter medicines that make you drowsy. 13. Inspect the vehicle for mechanical defects prior to each trip. Test your brakes as soon as you start out to insure they are properly operating. Wom tires can make your vehicle difficult to control or slop. 14. Avoid dialing the phone, reading maps or other distracting activities while driving. These actions take your eyes off the road and often cause you to swerve. Pull over into a safe parking area before making that call. 15. Never drive faster than road conditions warrant Slow down when road conditions are poor (min, fog, night) and never exceed posted speed limits. 16. Always signal when changing lanes or turning. 17.
