†
DRUG & ALCOHOL USE
Diversified has a strong commitment to provide a safe workplace for its employees. Consistent with that commitment,
Diversified has adopted an alcohol and drug-free work site policy. Our policy prohibits the use, sale, distribution,
manufacture or possession of alcohol, illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia, the unauthorized use of prescription drugs, and
the misuse of any legally obtained drug (prescriptions or over-the-counter medications) on company premises, at any
location at which company business is conducted (including company and private vehicles), and while on company time. In
addition, this policy requires employee to report to work free of the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Employees who are
taking prescription drugs or over-the-counter drugs that may affect their performance should discuss their situation with their
healthcare provider before reporting to work. Any violation of this policy will result in corrective action, up to and including
termination of employment.

†
DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT
Diversified employees are entitled to work in an environment that is professional and free of discrimination and harassment
based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, age, marital status, source
of income, disability, veteran or other protected status. Such conduct is prohibited by Diversified and will not be tolerated
by any employee, customer or supplier. Diversified is committed to taking all reasonable steps to prevent discrimination and
harassment from occurring.
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome or unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, whether verbal or physical, when:

• Submission to or rejection of the conduct by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting hiring,
promotion, transfer, evaluation or other aspects of employment
• The conduct interferes with an individual's employment or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work
environment

Examples of sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:

• Unwanted sexual advances
• Offering employment benefits in exchange for sexual favors

• Visual conduct: leering, making sexual gestures, displaying of sexually suggestive objects or pictures, cartoons or
posters
• Verbal conduct: making or using derogatory comments, epithets, slurs, sexually explicit jokes, comments about
an employee's body or dress, verbal sexual advances or propositions
• Physical conduct: touching, assault, impeding or blocking movements

• Physical violence, including sexual assault

It is equally prohibited for males to sexually harass females and other males, and for females to sexually harass males and
other females. Sexual harassment on the job is prohibited whether by supervisors, co-workers, and persons doing business
with or for Diversified.

Similar behaviors (e.g., derogatory comments, jokes, cartoons, physical aggression, etc.), when based on race, color,
religion, age, national origin, disability or other legally protected status, also violate this policy. Employees should keep in
mind that conduct which appears to be welcome or tolerated by one employee may be very offensive to another.
