Employees who refuse to permit inspections under this policy or who fail to cooperate with inspections under this
policy will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
MOBILE DEVICE POLICY
While at work, employees are expected to exercise discretion in using personal mobile devices. Excessive personal
calls, texting, internet use or social media during the workday can interfere with employee productivity and be
distracting to others. Employees are to make personal calls during non-working time where possible and away from
their working area to avoid distractions to their co-workers.
Footprint is committed to promoting highway safety by encouraging the safe use of mobile devices by its employees
while they are on Company business. While the Company recognizes there often is a business need to use mobile
devices, safety must be the first priority. If an employee needs to make a phone call while driving, the individual
should find a proper parking space first. The roadside is only acceptable for genuine emergencies such as an
accident or a car breakdown. Employees with hands-free devices may make brief phone calls while driving but must
park when road conditions are poor, traffic is heavy, or you are not able to devote your full attention to driving safely.
COMPANY PROPERTY, PREMISES AND RESOURCES
Employees are responsible for using Company property in compliance with applicable law and Company rules.

USE OF COMPANY PROPERTY
Employees are prohibited from using Company property for personal benefit without direct permission of the
Company Chief Executive Officer or Chief Technology Officer. Employees who use Company property for personal
benefit without permission are subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT CARE
It is your responsibility to understand the machines and equipment you use to perform your duties. Good care of any
equipment that you use during your employment and the conservative use of supplies will benefit you and Footprint.

no circumstances should you attempt repairs yourself unless you have been trained to do so and are specifically
authorized by your manager.
