received while operating a company vehicle.
• Failure to adhere to these policies and procedures may result in disciplinary action, which may

Use of Equipment and Vehicles
Equipment and vehicles essential in accomplishing an employee’s job duties are expensive and may be
difficult to replace. When using GreenPoint Ag owned or lease equipment or vehicles, you should
exercise care, perform required maintenance, and follow all operating instructions, safety standards,
and guidelines.

Immediately notify your manager if any equipment, machines, tools, or vehicles appear to be damaged,
defective, or in need of repair. When you promptly report damages, defects, and the need for repairs,
the further deterioration or damage to, of equipment and possible injury to employees or other people
can be prevented.
You should get with your manager if you have questions about your responsibility for maintenance and
care of equipment or vehicles you use in their job.

The improper, careless, negligent, destructive, or unsafe use or operation of equipment or vehicles, as
well as excessive or avoidable traffic and parking violations, may result in disciplinary action, up to and
including termination of employment.
