3 Fit For Duty SIX Safety Systems delivers fit-for-duty solutions that mitigate the risks associated with drugs, alcohol, and fatigue in the workplace. Backed by a team of industry experts Cutting-edge technology Scalable for any organization in any industry Increase safety, productivity, and profit SIX Safety Systems comprehensive fit-for-duty approach involves SIX key elements: ASSESS corporate risk, both real-time operational and management system needs and gaps. DEVELOP the right management system including policy, procedures, and strategic plans. IMPLEMENT the management system and understand the change management process. EDUCATE all levels - leadership, supervisors, and frontline workers. Our education and training procedures empower your workforce to take action and lower risks. MONITOR and objectively measure real-time risk, allowing for proactive risk mitigation. ANALYZE objective risk data using our intuitive and robust database platform with built in analytical tools to gain true understanding of organizational risk, ultimately driving the cycle of continuous improvement.

4 Drugs & Alcohol SIX Safety s experience in addressing the safety hazards and business risk associated with drugs and alcohol in the workplace has led to a comprehensive and proven approach. Developing a solid policy aligned to an organization s assessed risk is central to an effective strategy. SIX Safety develops policy strategies that help organizations identify key responsibilities; provide education; prescribe tests with multiple specimens; and build worker confidence & accommodation. An effective substance abuse strategy is not about testing to catch workers; it is about creating a safer and more efficient workplace. If and when a policy calls for prescribed testing, implementing oral fluid testing addresses impairment in a much more dignified manner. Oral fluid testing is both scientifically and legally valid. It is noninvasive, detects recent use versus historical use (THC); mitigates human rights and privacy issues; allows for easier implementation; and is significantly more cost-effective. SIX Safety offers multiple oral fluid POCT technologies to meet the specific needs of your organization. DrugTest 5000 VeroFit TM 6

5 Fatigue Today, 24-hour operations are necessary to meet the demands of an industrialized global economy, but it comes with unique physiological challenges that can impact fatigue, compromise alertness, and reduce performance. The consequences are operational, societal, and personal. SIX Safety understands the complexity of fatigue. Utilizing a systems approach, we help organizations assess their current risk levels and implement an effective fatigue risk management system (FRMS) that fosters continuous improvement. Technology alone does not mitigate fatigue, but is an integral component of an organization s FRMS as a tool to proactively manage real-time risk and assess the effectiveness of the FRMS. SIX Safety Systems innovative fatigue & distraction detection system, LUCITM combines the powers of proactive risk mitigation and unparalleled data analysis. LUCITM uses near-infrared sensors mounted on a dash or workstation to detect and measure the operator s eye movements. The readings are immediately analyzed to determine levels of fatigue and distraction. LUCI provides realtime feedback to operators on their current level of alertness through an intuitive digital interface. Both visual and audible alarms alert the operator if LUCI detects unacceptable levels of alertness or distraction. The operator is then empowered to self-correct their behavior. Dispatchers and supervisors have easy access to real-time alertness data for their entire workforce. In the event that established risk thresholds are exceeded, LUCI sends a notification (text/ ) to accountable parties to assess the risk. Operator compliance is ensured as there are no wearables required (hats/glasses). LUCI can easily detect eye movements, even through eyewear. The system is compatible with most enterprise systems and external data streams can be merged with the output.

6 Human Factors Controlling losses, keeping employees healthy, and maintaining a modern, productive environment is critical. When human factors/ergonomics is tied in with existing management systems of an organization, it has proved itself successful in optimizing productivity and efficiency while minimizing the cost to health and safety. SIX Safety provides risk assessments pertinent to tool, task, process, or system design. Gap analyses, training, and audits round out our comprehensive approach to continuous improvement. By incorporating human factors at both the design and operational levels, SIX Safety ensures that your organization remains viable in a competitive marketplace. Our team of human factors experts is ready to assist your organization with the following as well as custom solutions: Fatigue management - needs & gaps analysis Industrial/field ergonomics assessments Office ergonomics assessments Vehicle ergonomics assessments Facility design Equipment design Program development and audits
