  1. General Safety Orientation & 2-Year Refresher(SHOW the Grady ROSIER Safety DVD prior to this presentation)

  2. Welcome to McLane! • This Safety Orientation will introduce you to established McLane Best Practices used to maintain a safe and healthy work environment free of recognized hazards to protect all teammates from injury. • Review DC Safety Record (Vehicle Accident Rate (VAR) and OSHA Injury Frequency Rate (IFR) and how these metrics affect the business. • Discuss the Safety Incentive Program. • At the end of the presentation, perform a DC walk-thru to acquaint new teammates with the operation and potential hazards.

  3. Federal Entities • From a Risk Management standpoint, McLane Company falls under the umbrella of three primary federal entities: • OSHA • DOT • EPA • OSHA: • The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency of the US government under the Department of Labor with the responsibility of ensuring safety at work and a healthful work environment. OSHA's mission is to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses and deaths. Since OSHA was created in 1971, occupational deaths in the US have declined by half and injuries by 40%. Nonetheless, in 1999 there were 5.7 million occupational injuries and illnesses among U.S. workers, approximately 6.3 of every 100 workers experienced a job-related injury or illness, and 6,023 workers lost their lives on the job.

  4. DOT and EPA • DOT: • The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT or DOT) is a federal Cabinet department of the United Statesgovernment concerned with transportation. It was established by an act of Congress on October 15, 1966, and began operation on April 1, 1967. It is administered by the United States Secretary of Transportation. • EPA: • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or sometimes USEPA) is an agency of the federal government of the United States charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress.

  5. Injury and Illness Protection Plan (IIPP) • In short, an IIPP is a comprehensive safety program which contains certain elements required under federal or state requirements. The IIPP applies to all workers regardless of their particular job duties: • Ensure that workers are trained in, and comply with, safe work practices. • Inspect for and correct unsafe/unhealthy work conditions as soon as possible. • Maintain documentation of all training and inspections. • Encourage workers to report unsafe conditions without fear of reprisal. • Communicate safety issues in a way that is understandable to all workers. • Report and investigate all occupational injuries. • To take safety to the next level, McLane has also committed to investigating “Near Misses.” A Near Miss is an event that could have resulted in an injury or property damage under different circumstances. (i.e. an empty pallet falls from a rack and almost hits a teammate).

  6. IIPP (Continued) • Each McLane DC designates an IIPP administrator who has the authority and responsibility for implementing the provisions of the IIPP. • Operations Training Specialists – OTS • Grocery and Safety Points • McLane Foodservice – MFS • All Managers and Supervisors are responsible for implementing and maintaining the IIPP in their work areas and for answering teammate questions.

  7. Compliance • Management is responsible for ensuring that all safety and health policies and procedures are clearly communicated and understood and available to all teammates. Managers and supervisors are expected to enforce the rules fairly and consistently. • All teammates are responsible for: • using safe work practices. • following all directives, policies, best practices, and procedures. • assisting in maintaining a safe work environment.

  8. Compliance (continued) • The McLane system of ensuring that all workers comply with all safety rules, regulations and maintain a safe work environment include: • Informing workers of the provisions of the McLane IIPP at new hire orientation and every two years after. • Following and enforcing all provisions and guidelines of the McLane HR Safety Policy. This policy includes guidelines for disciplining teammates for failure to comply with safe and healthful work practices. Management will include the McLane HR Safety Policy as part of new hire orientation and every two years after. • Safety Training and retraining as outlined in Safety Best Practice Tab A Orientation and Refresher Safety Training). • Recognizing teammates for working safely per guidelines established in the McLane HR Safety Incentive Program.

  9. Communication • McLane recognizes that open, two-way communication between management and staff on health and safety issues is essential to an injury-free, productive workplace. The following system of communication is designed to facilitate a continuous flow of safety and health information between management and staff in a form that is readily understandable and consists of one or more of the following checked items: • New hire orientation including a discussion of safety and health policies and procedures. • HR Open Door Communication policy for all teammates. • Workplace safety and health training programs. • Regularly scheduled driver and warehouse safety meetings (supervisor pre-shift, all teammate, driver, and safety committee). Prior to each shift warehouse teammates perform stretch and flex and safety topics are discussed/addressed.

  10. Communication (continued) • Effective communication of safety and health concerns between workers and supervisors during driver and/or warehouse teammate meetings. • Posted or distributed safety information throughout the DC. • A system for teammates to anonymously inform management about workplace hazards using HR Safety suggestion boxes located in in various locations throughout the DC. • A multi-level safety and ergonomics committee that meets regularly, prepares written records of the safety and ergonomics committee meetings. Reviews results of the periodic scheduled inspections, reviews investigations of accidents and exposures and makes suggestions to management for the prevention of future incidents. Reviews investigations of alleged hazardous conditions, and submits recommendations to assist in the evaluation of employee safety suggestion.

  11. Safety and Ergonomics Committee • Get involved by joining our Pro-Active Safety & Ergonomics Committee!!! • Membership is voluntary and teammates are paid for their time spent at meetings or on related activities. • Members should have knowledge of the methods, practices and conditions at the DC to help focus on all injuries including soft tissue. • Safety is a shared responsibility and you can help reduce incidents by helping to identify and correct Safety/Ergonomic issues in the workplace! • Enrollment to the committee may change annually and an enrollment date will be announced at the DC.

  12. Review the McLane hr safety policy • Definitions • Policy • Corrective Action • Incident Reporting • Teammates must sign page 6, HR Safety Policy Acknowledgment.

  17. Safety Incentive Plan! • McLane believes that working safely is a condition of employment but still rewards it’s teammates with a variety of safety incentives. Financial compensation, safety celebrations and safety cruises will be awarded according to days worked at the DC with no lost time injuries. • Teammates who win the travel package will have additional vacation time to take chosen package and will have one year to redeem travel. In addition the teammate must be on the active payroll to redeem travel. A list of travel packages will be provided for the teammate to choose from.

  18. Safety Training • All teammates, including managers and supervisors, shall have training and instruction on general and job-specific safety and health practices. Training and instruction shall be provided Per Tab A “New Hire and Refresher Safety Training.” • Safety training plans have been established to ensure all aspects of safety are discussed with new teammates upon hire and during refresher training sessions every 2 years. These guidelines, when used in conjunction with other pertinent sections of the Risk Management Best Practice manual, will provide Teammates with a comprehensive view of all McLane Company Safe Work Practices and Procedures.

  19. Pedestrian Safety & Powered Industrial Trucks (PIT) • Examples of a PIT: tugger, reach truck, pallet jacks, scissor lifts, order selectors, scrubbers, etc.. • Pedestrians should be aware of horns and blind intersections. • Use only designated walkway(s). • Never walk under raised PIT forks. • Only trained and authorized teammates may use a PIT. • Use safety mirrors at intersections to look for PITs. • Stay a minimum of 20 feet away from a lift that is pulling or replenishing product. • Know your surroundings and stay alert!

  20. Hazard Assessments • Periodic inspections to identify and evaluate workplace hazards shall be performed by the following competent observer(s) in the following areas and designated frequencies:

  21. Hazard Assessments (continued) • Other inspections are performed according to the following • schedule: • When McLane initially starts up a facility. • When new substances, processes, procedures or equipment which present potential new hazards are introduced into our workplace. • When new, previously unidentified hazards are recognized. • When occupational injuries and illnesses occur. • When we hire and/or reassign permanent or intermittent workers to processes, operations, or tasks for which a hazard evaluation has not been previously conducted. • Whenever workplace conditions warrant an inspection.

  22. Hazard Correction • Unsafe or unhealthy work conditions, practices or procedures shall be corrected in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazards. Hazards shall be corrected according to the following procedures: • - When observed or discovered • - When an imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately • abated without endangering employee(s) and/or property, • we will remove all exposed workers from the area except • those necessary to correct the existing condition. (Teammates needed to correct the hazardous condition shall be provided with the necessary training and protection). • - All such actions taken and dates they are completed shall be documented.

  23. Emergency Evacuation • All Teammates Must: • Know the location of all fire and emergency exits. • Keep exits, fire extinguishers, and emergency equipment clear of all obstacles. • Know what to listen for depending on the type of emergency (Fire, Tornado, Ammonia Release, etc.). • Know where to assemble for any type of emergency. • Know what to do once they get there!

  24. Fire Extinguishers • Typically McLane DC’s use a combination fire extinguisher that • will extinguish A, B and C type fires. 10% of the teammate population • will be trained annually on how to use a fire extinguisher. • A=Combustibles • B=Fuels • C=Electrical • If you ever have to use a fire extinguisher, remember P.A.S.S. • P. ull the pin. • A. im at the base of the fire. • S. queeze the trigger nozzle. • S. weep at the base of the fire.

  25. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) • YOUR responsibility to wear! • Make sure you are trained and PPE fits. • Questions concerning use with specific chemicals? Consult SDS. • Questions concerning a specific job? Ask your supervisor. • Only close-toed, leather shoes in the warehouse!

  26. Not meant for continuous human occupancy Have limited entrances and exits May have low oxygen levels May have toxic vapors Will have appropriate signage You must be trained & qualified to enter a confined space Examples of confined spaces at McLane DC’s are (but not limited to) pits, balers, trash compactors, A/C condensers, crawl spaces, cooling towers, city sewers, etc.. Note: Some sewer pits and/or dock levelers may not have signage but have been identified as confined spaces. You are strictly prohibited from entering designated sewer pits without a permit. If you see this sign, Don’t Enter! Confined Space Awareness

  27. C O N V E Y O R S A F E T Y

  28. Conveyor Safety • Do not climb, sit, stand, walk, ride, or touch the conveyor at any time. • Repairs can only be made by authorized maintenance personnel (lockout/tagout). • Only operate with covers and guards in place. • Do not overload a running conveyor. • Ensure all teammates are clear before start-up. • Do not modify or misuse controls. • Keep clothing, body parts, and hair away from conveyors. • Ensure all controls and pull cords (E-Stops) are visible and accessible (know the location of emergency stop controls).

  29. Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) Awareness • Any potentially contaminated (blood or bodily fluid) item will be disposed of properly in an approved bio-hazard or sharps container. • Learn who the trained First Aid Responder(s) are at your DC are and use them as a resource for BBP knowledge. • You will be required to sign Form B-4, BBP Awareness each year.

  30. Fall Protection • Use only ANSI approved ladders and step stools (never use a chair or table). • Never jump off the docks, use approved exit doors. • Never be lifted by a powered industrial truck (inside an ANSI approved safety cage) unless you have been trained and authorized. • Always use fall arrest systems. • Never climb on or in storage racks. • Never work on a mezzanine or any elevated surface over 4 feet high without the minimum protection of a standard guardrail system. Be aware of all posted warning signs.

  31. Housekeeping • Good housekeeping prevents incidents such as trips/slips/falls and reduces exposure to fire hazards, so: • Pick up trash and keep your work area clean. • Place trash in designated waste containers (i.e. shrink wrap, pallet chips, paper, debris, etc.). • Clean up all non-hazardous spills. • For hazardous chemical spills, notify your supervisor immediately. • Clean as you go. • Remember a clean workplace promotes safety!

  32. Baler/Compactor Safety • Balers and Compactors must be marked as “Confined Space,” so teammates should never enter them. • -Never overload a baler or compactor beyond its recommended capacity. • -Be vigilant as baled material can snap under pressure. • -Always use Lockout/Tagout procedures before you perform maintenance, inspections, or clear jams. • -Be careful while picking up material to put in baler or compactor. • -No one under the age of 18 should run either compactor or baler. • -Keep guards in place. • (Vertical and Horizontal Baler)

  33. Confined Space – Don’t go in chute Keep door closed when not using Compactors

  34. Why do we bale material? • Green Advantage Program. • Good for the environment – Baled material is recycled instead of going to a landfill. • Government – Many local, county or states require recycling. • Money - There is a market for many recycled materials like cardboard, plastic wrap, paper and metals. • Cardboard bales

  35. Incident Investigation • Procedures for investigating workplace accidents and hazardous substance exposures include: • Visiting the incident scene as soon as possible. • Interviewing injured workers and witnesses. • Examining the workplace for factors associated with the incident/exposure. • Determining the cause of the exposure. • Taking proper corrective action to prevent the accident/exposure from reoccurring. • Recording the findings and corrective actions taken.

  36. Lockout/Tagout Awareness • When equipment is in the process of being repaired or worked on, maintenance personnel (authorized personnel) will Lockout and Tagout all sources of energy associated with that equipment. This is to protect the maintenance worker and anyone nearby. Only qualified maintenance personnel (authorized) are allowed to work on equipment, so only they are authorized to Lockout and Tagout equipment. • If you see a Lock or Tag… DO NOT TOUCH THE LOCK, TAG, EQUIPMENT OR CONTROLS!

  37. Safety Signage • Danger Signs - There shall be no variation in the type of design of signs posted to warn of specific dangers and radiation hazards. All teammates will be instructed that danger signs indicate immediate danger and that special precautions are necessary. The standard background color will be red. • Caution Signs - Caution signs shall be used only to warn against potential hazards or to caution against unsafe work practices. All teammates shall be instructed that caution signs indicate a possible hazard against which proper precaution should be taken. The standard background color will be yellow. • Safety Instruction Signs - Safety instruction signs shall be used where there is a need for general instructions and suggestions relative to safety measures. The standard background color will be white, blue or green.

  38. Seat Belts • All teammates, when performing any company business for McLane Company, shall wear a seatbelt for both driver and passenger(s), front and back seat. • McLane teammates using sleeper berths must wear restraint systems (netting, harnesses, etc.). • Please wear your seatbelt in your personal vehicle. Remember, any unbuckled person can potentially become a projectile injuring themselves and others in the vehicle. • Buckle Up For Safety!!!

  39. Mobile electronic devices • Teammates are not to use electronic communication devices while operating motor vehicles in the course of business. Cell phones may be used with a “hands free” device. • Note: Some states have laws that restrict or forbid the use of electronic devices while operating a vehicle. In states where the law is stricter, drivers should follow the state law. • It must be understood that the use of hands free devices diverts the drivers’ attention away from the primary task of operating the motor vehicle and should be avoided if possible. • Drivers must use common sense and sound judgment when operating a motor vehicle. This requires that they know where they are at in relation to traffic and pedestrian hazards, and understand how to safely interface with electronic communication devices while operating a motor vehicle. The driver is responsible for the control of their vehicle at all times. This mandates that drivers operate their vehicles at the lowest possible risk and avoid distractions that take their attention away from driving safely.

  40. Contractor safety • Contractors performing work on or for existing McLane facilities must consent to contract terms prior to beginning the specified work. Corporate Legal should review any written contracts prior to signing. Because contractors can and probably will create hazardous conditions to which McLane Teammates will be exposed, the following actions should be taken prior to the initiation of any work performed by outside contractors at a McLane facility: • The general contractor and sub-contractor should read, agree to, and sign the Contractor Safety Agreement (Form R-1, a copy of which is attached). A copy of this signed agreement should be given to each contractor, while the original is maintained at the division. This agreement must be signed on an annual basis. Previous agreements with the same contractor can be purged. • All McLane Teammates whose jobs require them to be in the area where contractors will be working should be advised of the associated hazards and how to avoid them. Teammates should also be instructed to report any unsafe conditions created or unsafe acts performed by contractors to their supervisor immediately. • Management personnel should conduct daily inspections of the areas where contractors are working. The contractor will be advised of any unsafe conditions or OSHA violations that are noted during these inspections at which time the contractor would be required to correct the condition.

  41. Floor Loading/protection McLane will clearly mark the weight load limit per square foot for every building or structure, or part thereof, used for business, industry or storage purposes, where appropriate. The loads will be marked on approved plates of design, supplied, secured, and fixed by the owner of the building in a conspicuous place and space. These plates will not be removed or defaced. If lost, the owner or his/her agent will replace them immediately. McLane will ensure that no load greater than that for which floor or roof is approved will ever be placed or permitted on a specific floor or roof.

  42. Hot Work • To ensure our teammates, contractors, and company property are properly protected against fire, explosion, and other dangers resulting from hot work (welding, cutting, braising), McLane has a hot work permit program maintained by the DC Maintenance department.

  43. BATTERY CHARGING AND CHANGING All teammates who have the responsibility of working with forklift batteries (i.e. watering, changing, charging etc.) must review the e-learning modules titled: “Battery and Charger Safety” and “Battery Protectors.” PPE training is also required. Teammates who change out batteries must review the pertinent manufactures manual on how to change out a battery safely and properly. This training must be fully documented with all applicable dates and signatures.

  44. Many McLane facilities use Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) HIGHLY TOXIC! IF RELEASED IN AN ENCLOSED AREA IT CAN BE DEADLY! McLane facilities must be able to train for and respond to an ammonia release. AMMONIA INFORMATION

  45. AMMONIA TRAINING • All Teammates • Must be trained on the following: • Physical characteristics of ammonia and hazards. • Location of ammonia lines and how they can be broken or compromised • Must notify supervisor immediately in the event of a release. • How to get notified, where to assemble and what to do once assembled. • Management, Maintenance and Emergency Response Coordinator • Must receive all the same training plus location of emergency shut off valves.

  46. AMMONIA EVACUATION PROCEDURES • Facility should have a “site-specific” Evacuation Plan • Facility must have evacuation points (Both Internal and External) • Internal: • Teammates move to a common area until source of leak is determined. • Once assembled and accounted for, additional instructions will be • conveyed by response team. • External: • McLane facilities should have easily visible wind socks to determine wind • direction. Teammates should assemble outside upwind of the ammonia • cloud.

  47. AMMONIA RELEASE REPORTING • Federal regulations REQUIRE notification to specific Federal, State and local authorities in the event of a release >=100lbs. • In the event of a release, each division should fill out a division specific Ammonia Release Worksheet (File Path: MyMcLane>Risk Management>Safety and Health>Ammonia Release Calculation Worksheet>Specific Division). • Local fire (or another 911 emergency agency) should be contacted in case of release. • If reporting threshold has been met (100lbs or more), Risk Management is called before other agencies.

  48. Dry ice safety/shipping • Any McLane Teammates that select the food items, package or offer these types of shipments must be trained. A review of the shipping requirements contained in this Power Point and proper training documentation is required. • Remember- as long as overnight packages containing food with dry ice are selected, packaged, marked, labeled and offered per the following guidelines, McLane locations will be in compliance with International Air Transport Association (IATA) dangerous goods regulations. • All Teammates must also take and pass a test to demonstrate that they understand this training. Documentation of the testing will be maintained in the Teammates training file.

  49. CO2/Compressed Gas • There are several hazards with compressed gases including oxygen displacement, fires, explosions, and toxic effects from certain gases and physical hazards. • Compressed Gas General Storage, Use and Handling Precautions: • Cylinders must be legibly marked to identify the gas contained inside. • Compressed gas cylinders must be stored in areas away from heat sources. • Compressed gas cylinders must be secured/chained in the upright position and stored in a manner to prevent tipping, falling and rolling. • Valves must be closed before a cylinder is moved, when it is empty and at the completion of each job. • Fuel gas cylinders must be checked periodically for corrosion, general distortion, cracks and any other defect that might indicate a weakness or render it unfit for service. • Cylinder inspection must include the bottom of the cylinder. • Compressed air shall not be used for cleaning purposes except where reduced to less then 30 psi and then only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment (PPE). • Compressed air is not to be used for cleaning clothing and skin. • When welding gases are stored, oxygen and acetylene must be separated by a 5-foot non- combustible barrier. • Post No Smoking signs in welding areas. • Unless a valve/regulator is installed all cylinders shall be stored with a valve cap in place.

  50. Recordkeeping • McLane has taken the following steps to implement and • maintain the IIPP: • -All safety-related activities (audits, meetings, training) must be • documented. • -Records of safety audits including the person(s) or persons • conducting the inspection, the unsafe conditions and work • practices that have been identified and the action taken to correct the identified unsafe conditions and work practices, are recorded on a safety audit and correction form. • -Documentation of general safety and health training for each • teammate, including the teammate’s name or other identifier, training dates, type(s) of training, and training providers are recorded on Form A-1 (BP Tab A) or E-Learning.
