Company Vehicle Parking Policy 1/05 Parking Policy All Company vehicles, including personal vehicles and rental vehicles operated on Company business, shall be parked in a manner that upon departure, the FIRST movement of the vehicle will be forward. All reasonable efforts shall be made to utilize parking spaces that allow this FIRST forward movement and this procedure should be followed unless it is unsafe to do so (i.e. parking lots with angled parking). The driver should look into the parking place to assure that it is clear, sound the horn and back in carefully. This policy applies to anyone operating a company vehicle or rental vehicle being used for business purposes and in all locations (includes employee’s residence). Contractors operating vehicles while on Company property are encouraged to comply with this policy.
Employees should be highly encouraged to use this policy in company parking lots where personal vehicles are parked. • Parking Policy for “Vehicles Left Running” • Vehicles may be parked with the engine running for short intervals, without a driver in the vehicle, only during adverse weather conditions with the following precautions taken: • Automatic Transmission Vehicles • The transmission is placed in “Park” • The vehicle Emergency Brake is set. • No vehicle doors are left open. • Standard Transmission Vehicles • The transmission is placed in “Neutral” • The vehicle Emergency Brake is set. • No vehicle doors are left open. • A set of “Wheel Chocks” is placed in front of and behind a drive wheel on the driver’s side of the vehicle. • Incidents that occur as a result of deviations from these procedures will be considered a Preventable Motor Vehicle Accident.

Do you know what happens in the first FATAL second to a car traveling at 55 miles per hour when it hits a solid object?
In the first tenth of a second, the front bumper & grill are destroyed.
During the second tenth of a second, the front body of the car starts bending, raising and striking the windshield while the rear wheels raise themselves off the road. Simultaneously, the front tire wheelwells (splash panels) begin to wrap around the solid object. Although the car frame has come to a stop, the remainder of the car continues to travel at a velocity of 55 miles per hour. The driver’s instinct is to stretch out his legs to brace for the impact but they BREAK at the knee joints.
During the third tenth of a second, the steering wheel begins to disintegrate and the steering column reaches the CHEST of the DRIVER.
In four tenths of a second, the first two feet of the car are destroyed, while the car’s body begins to split apart as the car is still traveling at 55 miles per hour.
In the fifth tenth of a second, the driver remains impaled by the steering column and his lungs begin to fill with blood.
The impact is so strong in the sixth tenth of a second that the feet come out of the shoes although they are well tied. The brake/clutch pedals are wrapped around the feet. The frame of the car doubles in half and the head of the driver strikes the windshield while the still rotating wheels fall to the road.
In the seventh tenth of a second, the axles and the doors collapse, trapping the driver. It does not disturb the driver because he is already dead, and the last three tenths of a second do not mean anything to him.
NOW, WHO WANTS TO WEAR A SEAT BELT?

What is H2S? H2S is produced by bacteria as it decomposes organic material. It may develop in low oxygen environments, such as, sewers, swamps and polluted water.
Vapor Density The weight of a gas as compared to air. Air = 1 H2S = 1.189 @ 320F 20% heavier than air
Hazardous Characteristics Toxic H2S is the second most toxic gas known to man. The most toxic is Hydrogen Cyanide PEL of H2S = 10 ppm PEL of HCN = 10 ppm
Exposure Levels PEL – 10 ppm / 8hr. TWA STEL – 15 ppm / 15 min. Ceiling Concentration – 50 ppm / 10 min. Human LC/100 - 800 ppm / 5min. Revised IDLH – 100 ppm
