TOPICS FOR SAFETY MEETINGS

1. MAKING BEDS - Make sure a ladder is secure keeping both feet on the ladder at all times. If reaching to clear dirty linens from mattress, be sure ladder is moved with you in order to reach safely. Write a job safety analysis for making and changing beds and review during each pre tour meeting.

2. STORGE LOCKERS - Remove any and all ashtrays, chairs, books and newspapers from all storage areas. No one is allowed to smoke in storage areas. All storage areas must remain locked at all times. page 8

3. MACHINE USAGE - Lockout and tagout when cleaning the slicing machine, pull out the plug, turn the gauge to zero, wear your cutting gloves. This position closes the blade. Do not touch the edge of the cutting blade. Clean the blade, holding the blade with cut resistant gloves, rotating the blade slowly. page 15 &16

4. FLOOR SAFETY - Pay special attention to the condition of floors in both the kitchen and dining areas and in other living quarters or areas where food is consumed or carried. Clean up all spills immediately. page 6

5. FIRE SAFETY - Report all fires to your supervisor at once. Review proper procedures for extinguishing each type of fire. Review the four types of fire.

6. REFUSE DISPOSAL - When moving and emptying refuse containers two people are required at all times. Never lift alone.

7. STAIRWAYS - Always have one hand free to use the handrails. All walkways and stairs must be kept free of obstructions and slippery material.

8. SAFE CLOTHING - Be aware of loose sleeves, ties or aprons when working with grinders or mixes. Keep uniforms clear of jewelry or pins that might drop in food or cause scratches. Wear no rings when working. Don't use aprons or uniforms as a towel for hands. This could cause cross contamination.

SAFETY AWARENESS BULLETIN

SUBJECT: Change of policy regarding use of (back belts).

PURPOSE: To amend current policy and addendum Delta's safety manuals.

Through recent research and investigation, Delta Catering has concluded that the lumbar ("back belts") are not safe. The purpose of this notice is to amend our policy on the supply and use of "back belts" off shore.

We have found that wearing a "back belt" tends to create a false sense of security and, over time, encourages weakening of the lower back muscles.

REMEMBER

1. Proper lifting technique

and

2. Asking for assistance

are the two methods that will assure safe lifting.

Please refer to these documents and amend accordingly:
Remote Site Management Employee Safety Handbook (The White Book) - pg. 43
S.O.A.P. Behavior-Based Observation Process Guide Book - sec. 1.6
and S.O.A.R. card under personal protective equipment

Thank you for your attention and compliance.
