4.8 Jobsite Safety Inspections by Outside Officials

The following procedure is to be used in the event an outside official enters a Carter & Carter jobsite with the intent of inspecting or investigating jobsite safety. Such outside officials can include:

• OSHA inspectors
• State inspectors
• Fire inspectors
• Worker’s Compensation investigators
• Insurance investigators

Note that the intent of this procedure is not in any way to obstruct or otherwise make any inspection more difficult. The actions discussed in this section are only intended to allow the company to exercise our legal right to proper representation to certain government inspections, and to be sure that all facts are properly considered.

The Carter & Carter procedure upon such a visit is as follows:

1. Direct the inspector to the highest ranking Carter & Carter employee present on the jobsite at that time.
2. The highest ranking Carter & Carter employee will then:
   1. Ask the inspector of his or her complete intentions, and for proper identification.
   2. Write down the inspector’s name, title, organization, ID or badge number, date, and the time of day.
   3. Request the inspector to delay further activity until the Carter & Carter Safety and Health Manager or other appropriate Carter & Carter official can be dispatched to the jobsite.
   4. Contact the Carter & Carter Safety and Health Manager and the Carter & Carter Senior Project Manager, and provide the information obtained to that point. If either individual is unavailable for any reason, so notify the other. If both individuals are unavailable for any reason, immediately contact company senior management.
   5. Offer a place for the inspector to sit and wait, if possible. Should the inspector insist on proceeding without the Safety and Health Manager or other Carter & Carter official present, note the time and accompany him or her through the entire inspection. Take comprehensive notes of the entire activity.

Above all, every Carter & Carter employee is to be courteous, helpful, and fully cooperative with every authorized inspector at all times.

Contact the Carter & Carter Safety and Health Manager if there are any questions regarding these situations.
