1-300 DISCIPLINE FOR NONCOMPLIANCE

In order to enforce our safety policy, we require each employee of
Vulcan Materials Company to comply with all safety rules in this
handbook (and any other safety rules subsequently published) as a
condition of their employment. Therefore, if you do not comply, you
may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination
and that termination may be administered on a first offense depending
on the nature and severity of the infraction/violation.

1-400 UNIVERSAL SAFETY RULES FOR NEW EMPLOYEES

The purpose of our safety and health program is to ensure the
protection of our employees, contractors and visitors. The “Universal”
safety rules serve as your introduction to the safety and health
program and offer initial guidance for a safe and successful career

safety and health rules will minimize your potential for injury.
Additional training may be anticipated, e.g., site-specific hazard
training, underground miner training, task training, ready-mix truck
operation and delivery, hazard recognition skills (asphalt, ready-mix,
marine, landfill).
Our policy is to comply with all federal, state, and local safety
regulations. This includes the Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Coast Guard and any
other local or state regulatory agency.
