6.0 WORKPLACE SAFETY AND SECURITY

6.1 Zero Tolerance for Violence in the Workplace
nou Systems considers the safety of its employees, vendors, suppliers, Customers, and visitors to
be extremely important. The Company will consider any threat of violence or potential violence
as legitimate and will take immediate appropriate action, including the involvement of law
enforcement and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. The Company has “zero tolerance”
for any employee who threatens, intimidates, or implies violence against any person or property
associated with the Company. Employees are prohibited from bringing firearms or weapons into
a nou Systems facility or a Customer’s facility.

6.1.1 Reporting Violence/Threats
It is everyone's business to prevent violence in the workplace. You can help by reporting what
you see in the workplace that could indicate that a co-worker is in trouble. You are in a better
position than management to know what is happening with those who work around you.
Employees who hear about or become aware of any threats of violence should immediately
inform their Supervisor, or an officer of the Company. You are encouraged to report any incident
that may involve a violation of any of the Company’s policies that are designed to provide a safe
and comfortable workplace environment. All reports will be investigated, and information will be
kept as confidential as possible.

6.2 Drug-Free Workplace – Awareness
nou Systems has a longstanding commitment to provide a safe and productive work
environment. Alcohol and drug abuse pose a threat to the health and safety of employees and to
the security of our equipment and facilities and those of our Customers. For these reasons, nou
Systems is committed to the elimination of drug and/or alcohol use and abuse in the workplace.

This policy outlines the practice and procedure designed to correct instances of identified alcohol
and/or drug use in the workplace. This policy applies to all employees and all applicants for
employment of nou Systems. The Human Resource Manager is responsible for policy
administration.

nou Systems maintains an extensive Drug-Free Workplace Policy that each employee is
responsible for reading and acknowledging annually. For further information, contact the Human
Resources Department.
6.3 General Safety Guidelines

It is the responsibility of all employees to follow all safety guidelines and to do their part in
maintaining a safe work environment for themselves, their coworkers, and Customers.
Employees are expected to conduct all tasks in a safe and efficient manner, comply with all local,
State and Federal health and safety regulations, follow all program standards and address any
safety concerns raised by Customers or nou Systems management.
