GENERAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

• Do not stop for personal items in the event of an emergency.

• Treat all alarms as serious and real until you are notified by the Incident Commander if evacuation or shelter is not needed.

• Always know where your CLOSEST exit or shelter is and proceed there immediately upon sounding of the appropriate alarm.

• During an external evacuation or a shelter in place, follow directions of the Incident Commander and their designees and directions from Emergency Services such as the Fire Department.

• Do not leave the Shelter or the Rally Point at any point, until the ALL-CLEAR is given by the Incident Commander.

• Exits should always be clearly marked and not blocked or locked. If you find any blocked exits or exit routes, report them to a supervisor or manager immediately.

FIRE PREVENTION

10

Portable fire extinguishers are placed throughout the

building to use in stopping incipient (early) stage fires and

to assist personnel in evacuation.

Fire extinguishers may only be used by TRAINED personnel

in the following three circumstances:

1. When a fire is contained within a container (example: a

small wastebasket)

2. When a fire is contained to a piece of material handling

equipment

3. When you must use a fire extinguisher to escape a fire

If you are not trained, you feel you are in danger, or in any

instance different from the three scenarios above:

PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

EVACUATE IMMMEDIATELY

What is PPE?

• Equipment that workers wear to protect themselves from hazards in their work

environment

When is PPE Necessary?

• When hazards can not be eliminated through engineering and /or administrative

controls, PPE must be used to protect the eyes, face, head, feet, hands, arms, body,

ears, and lungs

PPE INFORMATION

▪ Use of PPE does not eliminate the hazard! You must still operate safely, avoid at-risk behaviors and report all at-risk conditions.

▪ Required PPE must be worn properly and must be in good working condition. If your PPE needs to be replaced, do not perform work; notify a supervisor or manager immediately.

▪ Inspect your PPE prior to every use.

▪ Fall Protection: If you are operating an MHE that requires the operator to be raised in the air (i.e. Order Picker, Turret Truck), a Personal Fall Arrest System must work properly, inspected, and you must be trained in its use. Refer to the DHL Supply Chain MHE Policy and Fall Protection Policy for more information.

13

Lockout Tagout is a safety procedure to ensure that

dangerous machines are properly shut off and not

able to be started up again prior to the completion

of maintenance or repair work.

Lockout - Blocks flow of energy from power source

to the equipment

Tagout - Provides means of warning (tag)

Lockout/Tagout is also referred to as “LOTO”

LOCKOUT TAGOUT - AFFECTED ASSOCIATES

14

General warehouse associates, including Temporary Associates are considered Affected Associates, since they may be affected by Lockout Tagout in their regular job duties. You are responsible to:

• Notify maintenance when equipment needs repair or adjustment.

• Follow all safety rules while operating the equipment.

• Leave all LOTO devices in place. Do not attempt to start a machine that is locked or tagged out. You could be putting yourself or other personnel at risk.

• DO NOT PLACE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN EQUIPMENT OR MACHINERY AT ANY TIME.

An Authorized associate is one who: • Maintains equipment• Services equipment• Is trained to use LOTO

LOTO AFFECTED AND AUTHORIZED ASSOCIATES

IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE “AUTHORIZED” LOTO TRAINING, YOU ARE NOT

PERMITTED TO LOCKOUT A MACHINE!

Contractors must follow our Lockout Tagout

procedure or provide DHL Supply Chain with a

copy of their own Lockout Tagout Program. This

must be done before work commences.

When working around MHE, pedestrians have a greater chance of injury than the operator. You

also may be exposed to slips, trips, and falls, which may be less serious but are more

common.

To protect yourself:

• Stay alert for the sight and the sound of all MHE

• Walk only in designated aisles and walkways

• Stop and look both ways before crossing intersections

• Never walk over forks

• Follow all posted traffic signs and other hazard warning signs/instructions

• Practice good housekeeping techniques

• Never stand or sit on the forks or any other part of the truck

• Never walk under an elevated load or elevated forks

• Immediately report all near-misses or incidents to a supervisors or manager

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

20

Maintain a safety zone around the truck, keep

pedestrians safe. Practice the 6’ halo rule.

Be aware of your surroundings at all times – Never

walk in front of or behind MHE without the driver

acknowledging your presence.

Stay within the marked pedestrian lanes to avoid

MHE

High Visibility Vest must be worn by everyone in the

warehouse

When MHE and pedestrians work in close proximity, serious incidents and collisions may occur.

WORKING AROUND MHE

21

INCIDENT REPORTING

Incident: An unplanned event that disrupt operations that needs to be resolved immediately.

Near Miss / Hazard Report: An unsafe act or condition

Incidents are investigated by the leadership team with the assistance of associates in order to prevent

similar incidents from happening again and improve safety of the site. Failure to report an incident puts

us all at risk.

22

BLOODBORNE PATHOGEN AWARENESS

What is a Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP)?

Any microscopic organisms (such as viruses)

that are present in human blood or other

potentially infectious materials (OPIM) that

may cause infection, disease, illness, and

sometimes death in humans

When might you be exposed to a BBP?

• If you respond to an injury in the workplace

• If you administer first aid

• During post incident clean-up

23

EXPOSURE CONTROLS

Universal Precautions

How do I protect myself?

24

Back injuries are considered by OSHA to be the nation’s number one workplace safety problem.

Back injuries are often:

• Very painful

• A long term or lifetime disability

• Expensive to diagnose and treat

Your back is composed of vertebrae, discs, nerves, and muscles

The spine’s basic functions include

1. Providing support

2. Protecting the spinal cord

3. Providing flexibility to allow bending and rotating

MATERIAL HANDLING AND ERGONOMICS

25

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job to fit theWorker. At DHL Supply Chain, we work to adapt or redesign tasks, work stations, tools, and equipment to fit the associate.

Some examples of how to prevent Material Handling Injuries include:

• Using MHE to move a product instead of doing it manually

• Using lift tables and conveyors

• Performing team-lifts for heavy items (Team lift!)

• Conduct Job rotation

• Training on proper lifting techniques

• Personal health and well being- taking good care of your back

• Stretching programs

MATERIAL HANDLING INJURY PREVENTION

26

PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES

THE BASIC LIFT

Stand close to the object

Stagger your feet for better balance

Squat down, bending your knees

Keep your stomach muscles tight, maintain the natural curve of the back.

Grab load firmly

Keep load close to your body

Stand up slowly, keeping your back straight

Do NOT twist your upper back while carrying the load. Turn with your legs or feet.

Set the load down slowly, bending your knees and keeping your back straight.
