• Wearing a face mask at all times, when required under the policy;
• Exercising social distancing;
• Other safety precautions as defined by the policy or communicated by Human Resources;
• Limiting travel;
• Limiting in-person meetings;
• Avoiding congregating, such as in break rooms or supply rooms;
• Taking customer orders by phone and delivering products by mail or “curb-side”;
• Avoiding crowded public transportation;

Human Resources will provide guidance when the precautions in place under this policy are adjusted to
account for new circumstances.

Unless otherwise notified, our normal attendance and leave policies will remain in place. Individuals
who believe they may face particular challenges reporting to work during an infectious disease outbreak
should take proactive steps to minimize attendance disruptions.

Workplace Violence Prevention
We are committed to preventing workplace violence and making GreenPoint Ag a safe place to work.
This policy explains our guidelines for dealing with intimidation, harassment, violent acts, or threats of
violence that might occur during business hours, external work events, or on our premises at any time.

Employees are always expected to treat customers, invitees, vendors, and all co-workers with courtesy
and respect. We do not allow firearms, weapons, and other dangerous or hazardous devices and
substances in the workplace or on the premises of GreenPoint Ag without proper authorization from
management or Human Resources or as may otherwise be expressly permitted by law or policy. Note
that a state issued “carry permit” does not in itself authorize employees to carry a weapon into
GreenPoint Ag facilities or in GreenPoint Ag parking lots.

Specific examples of conduct that may constitute threats or acts of violence under this policy include,
but are not limited to, the following:

• Threats or acts of physical or aggressive contact directed toward another individual;
• Threats or acts of physical harm directed toward an individual or their family, friends, associates,
or property;
• The intentional destruction or threat of destruction of GreenPoint Ag property or another
employee’s property;
• Harassing or threatening phone calls, e-mails, or other communications;
• Surveillance or stalking;
• Veiled threats of physical harm or similar intimidation;
• Any conduct resulting in the conviction under any criminal code relating to violence or threats of
violence that adversely affects GreenPoint Ag’s legitimate business interests.

This policy is in effect during work hours and after hours, i.e., at all times. We do not permit any act of
harassment including harassment that is based on an individual's age, color, disability, ethnicity, family
or marital status, genetic information, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, political
