SECTION 36: HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H2S) AWARENESS GENERAL 1. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, flammable, and extremely hazardous gas that occurs naturally in crude petroleum and natural gas and can also be produced by the breakdown of organic matter and human/animal waste (sewage). It is heavier than air and can collect in low-lying and enclosed, poorly ventilated areas such as basements, manholes, sewer lines, and other below grade areas. This gas is highly toxic and can cause loss of consciousness or death. H2S typically has a strong odor of rotten eggs. Sense of smell become rapidly fatigued by H2S and cannot be relied upon to warn of the continuous presence of H2S. 2. Minger construction realizes that even thought the policy is to avoid all contact with this toxin, the employee could still come into accidental contact with H2S due to other activities on or near the site. Potential exposure could exist when employees work on or near a site that contains any of the following: Drilling operations, Recycled Drilling Mud, water from sour crude wells, Blowouts, crude oil production tanks, pipelines, and refining operations. HEALTH EFFECTS 1. Hydrogen Sulfide can affect your health if it is inhaled, contacts the eyes, or contacts the skin. 2. Low concentration overexposure may cause irritation of eyes, nose, throat, or respiratory system. Effects can be delayed. 3. Effects of moderate concentrations ma be more severe eye and respiratory effects, headache, dizziness, nausea, coughing, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. 4. High concentrations may cause shock, convulsions, unable to breathe, coma, and death. Effects can be extremely rapid (within a few breaths). TOXICITY/EXPOSURE LIMITS 1. The maximum permissible exposure limit (PEL) for H2S is 20 PPM (parts per million) with a 10-minute maximum peak of 50 ppm. 2. H2S is flammable with an explosive range from 4% to 44% by volume. CONTROLS 1. The Host Company (Owner) is responsible for identifying areas where Hydrogen Sulfide may exist and for informing the contractor of these locations. This area is usually demarcated by the use of specific-worded signs or colored barricade tape. Minger Construction will inform its employees and subcontractors of the location of potential H2S exposures. These areas will be regulated. Access to these sites will be limited to authorized personnel who have been provided with appropriate levels of personal protective equipment and training. 251

2. The host company must make the contractor aware of any existing site-specific contingency plans, so it may inform its employees of the plan and implement it into this program. 3. Use detection equipment when working in an area where there is a possibility of hydrogen sulfide gas, especially in enclosed or below grade areas. Determination of employee exposure will be made from personal and rea monitors that will alarm when concentrations exceed the PEL of 20 PPM for 1910 or 10 PPM for 1926. 4. Do not enter a hydrogen sulfide area without proper training (including CPR) and Authorization. Always follow the permit required confined space program when working with confined spaces. 5. In atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH level of 100 PPM or greater), a standby person(s) with suitable self-contained breathing apparatus must be available for the purpose of rescue. Never attempt to rescue a hydrogen sulfide victim without the proper respiratory protection. 6. If a monitor alarm sounds, cavate the area immediately and do not re-enter without the proper respiratory protection. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 1. Respiratory Protection: whenever the engineering and work practice controls are deemed ineffective at reducing exposure potentials, then respiratory protection will be provided in accordance with the Respirator Protection Program found in this safety manual. These requirements will meet or exceed the recommendations set forth by NIOSH regarding Hydrogen Sulfide. A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece will be the minimum level of Respiratory Protection. 2. PPE will be worn where appropriate to prevent inhalation, eye contact, and dermal (skin) exposure to Hydrogen Sulfide. Affected employees will refer to the PPE Program found in this manual for proper PPE requirements. These requirements will meet or exceed the recommendations set for by NIOSH for respiratory protective regarding H2S. Employees will also comply with any host facilities’ PPE rules and regulations. This equipment will be provided to employees at no cost. 3. Eyes: safety eyewear complying with an approved standard will be used. 4. Skin: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling H2S. A chemical resistant full body suite may be required. 5. Hands: Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products. 252

RETURN-TO-WORK PROGRAM GUIDE Every employee should be entered into the Return-to-Work Program upon medical certification that the employee may return to some type of work duty. Written return to work authorization must be obtained from the preferred medical provider. Every attempt should be made to modify the employee’s current job to meet restrictions. Injured employees should usually be under the direct supervision of the Supervisor in the area in which he/she is working. However, Supervisors should understand their responsibility and be willing to work with employees not normally under their control. The Safety Department and the treating physician shall make the final decision, with input from the injured employee’s Supervisor and Authorized Minger Representative, as to when an employee returns to work in either his/her original position, a transitional work assignment, a permanently modified job or a reassigned position. RETURN-TO-WORK PROCESS When an employee has been injured on the job and it is a non-emergency injury the following steps must be taken in order for the Return-to-Work Process to be the most effective and efficient: STEP 1. Injured employee immediately reports any and all injuries to their Supervisors. STEP 2. The Supervisor and employee notify the Safety Department of the injury and complete an injury report when feasible. STEP 3. The employee and Supervisor will call the Work Partners Triage Hotline Service and consult with a physician. If the employee needs further medical attention, he or she will be brought to one of the established preferred medical providers listed in Appendix A. STEP 4. The employee provides the following information to the medical provider: • Minger’s Workers Compensation Information • Workability Form • Job Description • Letter to Treating Physician STEP 5. The employee provides the Safety Department with information from the treating physician. STEP 6. The Safety Department reviews the information from the treating physician and determines if the employee will be able to continue working in their current position with respect to their restrictions given by the treating physician. If the employee is unable to 285

perform their normal work duties a transitional work assignment, alternate work duty or permanent job modification/new position will be offered depending on the medical restrictions. STEP 7. The Safety Department will send a return-to-work employment offer (Appendix C) with respect to the restrictions set forth by the treating physician if the employee is unable to perform regular work duties. STEP 8. The injured employee accepts or declines the employment offer provided by the Safety Department. If the offer is declined, lost time wages will no longer be covered by the insurance company through indemnity payments. STEP 9. If the injured employee accepts the offer, he/she will keep weekly communication with the Safety Department and will immediately provide updates if any changes occur regarding medical restrictions upon any visits to the treating physician. STEP 10. The employee receives clearance from the treating physician for all restrictions and the employee returns to performing normal work duties with no restrictions. The Safety Department informs the insurance company that the employee is no longer working under restrictions and is back to normal work duties. When an employee, who has been injured on the job and placed on workers’ compensation leaves and/or has been released to return to work by the treating physician, the possible return to work options are as follows: OPTION 1: An employee has reached maximum medical improvement and has been released to return to work by the treating physician. The employee is then returned to the original position he/she held prior to workers’ compensation leave. OPTION 2: An employee has not reached maximum medical improvement and is ready to return to a transitional work assignment (limited, light or modified work duty) with approval of the treating physician, but retains some disability which prevents successful performance in the original position. The company will provide work reassignment suitable to the employee’s capacity which is both meaningful, productive and advantageous to the employee and the company. OPTION 3: An employee has reached maximum medical improvement and has been released to return to work by the treating physician, but has received a disability which prohibits employment in his/her previous position. The company will attempt to place the employee in a permanently modified job or another position suitable to the employee’s capacity which is both meaningful, productive and advantageous to the employee and the company. This work placement may be a 286

permanent assignment or either a part-time or temporary assignment until a permanent assignment is found. If a position is not available for work placement, Management will appoint the employee to the first suitable vacancy which occurs. In some cases, the extent of disability may be that vocational rehabilitations will be necessary. If so, Management will make the necessary arrangements for such training to assist the employee in obtaining suitable employment. MATCHING EMPLOYEES TO ALTERNATE DUTY STEP 1. The Safety Department will list all restrictions provided by the physician. STEP 2. The Safety Department and Controller will list all alternate duty jobs, including regular jobs with modifications available. STEP 3. The doctor’s restrictions are then being matched to the best possible alternate duty. In the case where there may be a unique restriction from the physician, a check of the alternate duty job chosen will be made to ensure it meets with the restrictions or can be modified to meet the restriction. STEP 4. If the physician’s restrictions interfere with more than one job as appropriate, the best alternate duty position should be chosen to best meet company needs. STEP 5. The Safety Department meets with the injured employee and physicians as needed to explain the alternate duty position. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES Minger shall pay the full current salary and benefits of an employee enrolled in the Return-to- Work Program. It is at Minger’s discretion whether or not to offer overtime to employees enrolled in the Return-to-Work Program and may vary from case to case. Should an employee be unable to work due to medically verifiable restrictions, Minger shall pay all related expenses for the injury/illness including Workers’ Compensation benefits whenever possible. An employee’s refusal to participate in the Return-to-Work Program effectively terminates all of Minger’s financial responsibility including, but not limited to, salary, any benefits received and Worker’s Compensation. 287

TRAINING Supervisors must accurately understand their key role in this program. Therefore, Supervisors shall receive training that includes specific details on the Return-to-Work process and their responsibilities under this program. Employees must understand the Return-to-Work process in order for it to be effective and efficient. All employees will be trained on the return-to-work program at initial hire and periodically throughout their employment at Minger Construction. PROGRAM COMMUNICATION The Return-to-Work Program must be effectively communicated to injured employees, affected Supervisors, and preferred providers. Program communication will be achieved by the training of Supervisors, safety orientation training for employees and the distribution of toolbox talks and other means of program literature. Injured employees and affected Supervisors – The Safety Department will provide an employee information package on Workers’ Compensation and Return-to-Work information that provides specific details on injured employees and affected Supervisor’s responsibilities and required actions. Preferred medical providers – They will receive verbal communication from the Safety Department for each case of employee injury. If the Safety Department is unable to accompany the injured employee at the preferred medical facility, this policy and procedures manual along with the additional forms will be provided to the medical provider by the injured employee. 288
