SAFETY BL Companies is committed to the safety and health of all employees and recognizes the need to comply with regulations governing injury and accident prevention and employee safety. Maintaining a safe work environment, however, requires the continuous cooperation of all employees. The Company has a Safety Committee comprised of representatives of each discipline and each office. This committee meets quarterly to review safety procedures, ongoing safety training and annually update the Safety Manual. Upon hire, each employee will be required to review the Safety Manual and complete the assigned acknowledgment as part of their onboarding and orientation. Employees are responsible for becoming familiar with, and complying with, the policies contained in it. The Department designee from the Safety Committee will go over the department specific aspects of the Manual and any training the employee may need. In addition, each new employee is required to: ▪ Upload a copy of their valid driver’s license to the Paycom documents portal; ▪ Watch a short video on driver safety. ▪ Safety training is to be completed prior to working in the field.

The Company will pay for additional licenses and professional certifications in other states if the Company has asked the employee to obtain or maintain that license.
