2 Workplace Safety at Constellation Energy Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 United States Code, (A) (1) requires employers to provide a safe and healthful working environment for all workers covered by the OSHA Act of Maryland Occupational Safety and Health Act Section a. Safe employment and places of employment Each employer shall provide each employee of the employer with employment and a place of employment that are: 1. Safe and healthful; and 2. free from each recognized hazard that is causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to the employee Constellation Energy promotes a safe working environment for its employees. The company is committed to working with employees to maintain a work environment free from violence, threats of violence, harassment, intimidation, and other disruptive behavior. While this conduct is not widespread at our company, no company is immune. Disruptive behavior at one time or another will affect every company. Violence, threats, harassment, intimidation, and other disruptive behavior in our workplace will not be tolerated. Such behavior may include oral or written statements, gestures, or expressions that communicate a direct or indirect threat of physical harm. All reports of incidents will be taken seriously and will be dealt with appropriately. Individuals who commit such acts may be removed from the premises and may be subject to disciplinary action, criminal penalties or both. Assistance will be provided to any employee or contractor with a personal situation that could lead to violence in the workplace.

3 violence Statistics Homicide is the leading cause of workplace death for women 75% of all workplace homicides involve a shooting 18,000 people are assaulted at work each week Nonfatal workplace assaults result in 876,000 lost work days and $16 million in lost wages You may think, It can t happen here. It can t happen to me. But it can happen anywhere to anybody. Violence in the workplace can be as simple as a threat and as serious as murder. In this country, it s the second leading cause of death in the workplace. It knows no boundaries, striking businesses large and small. It can strike even those employers who have planned for it. At Constellation Energy, Corporate Security and Safety and Medical Services have established a program to reduce the risk of workplace violence through employee training in conflict resolution, stress management, street awareness, and personal safety. In addition, Corporate Security is available to perform a risk assessment of any area in the company in order to reduce the probability of workplace violence. The elements of an assessment may include access control measures and appropriate lighting for office interiors, grounds and parking lots. Corporate Security has established a thorough procedure for responding to threats of violence in the workplace. What can you do? Although it is difficult to predict when violence may occur, there is important information you should know to prepare for the prospect. Most cases of workplace violence don t just happen without warning. Knowing the warning signs can help prevent you or your coworkers from becoming a victim of violence in the workplace. Know the Types of Violence You or your coworkers could become a target of any of the following: Threats Harassment Assault Domestic abuse Stalking Intimidation Murder Acts of workplace violence may be committed by a person from outside or inside our organization. They include but are not limited to: Angry customer, vendor, or contractor Jealous partner, spouse, or ex-spouse of an employee or contractor Criminal who may commit robbery or assault Disgruntled employee or ex-employee Recognize the Warning Signs Learn to recognize the warning signs. Pay close attention to what people visitors, customers, vendors, clients, contractors, and coworkers say and do.

4 Verbal Warning Signs: Obsession about weapons Unreasonably challenging rules or authority Using an angry or threatening tone of voice Shouting Making threatening statements (for example: They haven t seen the last of me, and if I m fired, I will come back for all of them. ) Physical Warning Signs: Having a weapon Violent gestures, pounding, or breaking objects Demonstrating extreme or bizarre behavior Involvement in alcohol or drug abuse History of violence Major deterioration in appearance or personal hygiene A potentially violent person may exhibit some, all or none of these signs. Do not make hasty judgments and avoid stereotyping. Use common sense. Reporting Threats If you feel you are being threatened in any way on or off the job whether verbally or physically by a coworker, customer, or someone with whom you have a personal relationship report it immediately to your supervisor, work leader or Corporate Security. If it makes you more comfortable, you may discuss it with an Employee Medical Assistance Professional. Remember it is important that you do not keep this sort of threat to yourself. Your safety and security, as well as that of your coworkers, depend on it.
