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.
