Furthermore, Mission’s management requires that every person in the organization assumes the
               responsibility of individual and organizational safety. Failure to follow Mission safety and health
               guidelines or engaging in conduct that places an employee, customer or Mission property at risk
               can lead to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment.

               The Safety Committee shall have the responsibility to develop and the authority to implement the
               safety and health program of Mission in the interests of a safer work environment.  For further
               information on safety, please refer to the Mission Safety Plan located on the HRIS homepage.

               SECURITY

               Mission is committed to providing and maintaining a safe, healthy, and efficient workplace. It is
               the policy of Mission that all customers, suppliers, visitors, and ex-employees are allowed in the
               waiting and lobby areas only of all Mission premises and all such persons must sign in and identify
               themselves. At certain locations, customers, suppliers, and visitors may be issued a special visitor’s
               badge, a laboratory coat, and other items that such persons will be required to wear while at a
               Mission premises. Typically, visitors must be escorted by a Mission employee at all times while
               on premises  and  must sign  out  and  return all Mission  property prior to  leaving  the premises.
               Employees are responsible for the conduct and safety of their visitors.  If an employee’s work
               location issues identification badges, the employee is required to have his/her identification badge
               with him/her at all times while on the premises.

               Mission Property or Equipment: Employees requesting to take Mission property or equipment
               off  premises  must  first  obtain  their  supervisor/manager’s  written  authorization.  Removing
               property or equipment without authorization may result in corrective action, up to and including
               termination  of  employment.  Employees  are  responsible  for  the  proper  care  and  return  of  all
               Mission property and equipment assigned to their possession.

               Searches: Employees may be searched, questioned and subject to surveillance whenever Mission
               believes it is necessary to maintain safety or security. All personal property brought onto Mission’s
               premises, such as vehicles, packages, briefcases, backpacks, purses, bags, wallets, etc. are subject
               to inspection. Mission may also inspect the contents of lockers, storage areas, file cabinets, desks
               and workstations at any time and may remove all non-Mission property and other items that are in
               violation of Mission rules and policies. Searches typically will be for illegal or unauthorized items,
               drugs, alcohol, weapons, or stolen property, but Mission has the discretion to search for any item
               required by business needs. Employees who do not cooperate in any search will be subject to
               corrective action, up to and including termination of employment. Employees consent to such
               searches is a condition of continued employment.

               Employees are expected to exercise reasonable care for their own protection and for the protection
               of their personal property while on Mission premises and while away from the premises on
               business. Mission assumes no responsibility for loss, damage, or theft of personal property.
