DC-109164-01 Rev B
Arc Flash Program
National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 70E
There are a number of important electrical industry consensus standards that have indirect or direct
impact on human safety. NFPA 70E, the "Standard for Electrical Requirements for Employee
Workplaces," is one of the most widely used. This standard focuses on protecting people and identifies
requirements that are considered necessary to provide a workplace that is generally free from electrical
hazards.
NFPA 70E recommends:
• Establishing an electrically safe work condition prior to beginning work
• Implementing appropriate procedures and training to avoid injury
• Determining and adhering to shock and flash protection boundaries
• Minimizing work with live/energized equipment if possible
Training Overview
Workers need training on the tasks and procedures (such as specific lockout/tag out procedures) that
are essential to conducting their work in a safe manner.
Any person assigned to tasks associated with electrical energy must be qualified and trained for the job
at hand. He or she must be able to identify electrical hazards, avoid exposure to those hazards, and
understand the potential results of all action taken.
Each Clipper Windpower employee affected by arc flash will receive the following documented training
annually and upon hire:
• Review this program
• Review the relevant lockout/tag out procedures
• Review the OMSW Control of Work, Risk Assessment, & Mitigation, DC-154511-XX, containing
the JSEA, Job Safety & Environment Analysis, form
• Review the required PPE relevant to their tasks
Training
Providing an electrically safe work condition:
• Use the right tool for the job. Use the appropriate tools for the job at hand, keep them accessible
and in good working condition.
• Always use a circuit tester on each circuit using Hot-Cold-Hot test before troubleshooting
because all voltages can be dangerous. Contact with even low voltages can result in serious
injury.
• Always treat all circuits as LIVE unless tests proven otherwise.
• Remove all jewelry, key rings, cell phones, radios and pagers, other metal objects, etc., before
troubleshooting any electrical circuits or apparatus.
• When troubleshooting live circuits, take care to be safely isolated (i.e., rubber mats, insulated
tools, EH rated shoes, etc.).
• Never troubleshoot circuits when in contact with metal, wet surfaces or in water.

DC-109164-01 Rev B
To prevent shocks, take precautions to:
• Keep metal objects from touching or being exposed to any LIVE parts, moving machine parts or
connections.
• Do not wear tool belts and do not carry tools in pockets.
• Use only double-insulated rated tools when troubleshooting on circuits that may not be
de-energized.
• Stand to the side when opening/closing a main line disconnect.
Protect the Person
The following personal protective equipment shall be worn at all times when working on energized
Level 1 and Level 3, electrical equipment.
Level 1 PPE –
All Clipper-supplied for use with the following energized equipment - DJB, TCU and EPU:
• FR rated pants and long sleeve shirt with all-natural fiber under garments (8 cal/cm2
)
• Safety glasses – nonmetal framed safety glasses
• Rubber gloves (class 0) with leather over gloves
• Hard hat (Minimum Class E) with face shield
• EH rated footwear
• All natural fiber undergarments
If fall protection is required it must be FR rated - otherwise it must be removed
Level 3 PPE –
All Clipper-supplied for use with the following energized equipment - PDP and GCU:
25 cal/cm2
required when inside on all sites in the GCU
25 cal/cm2
required when inside of the PDP on most sites (contact site supervisor)
40 cal/cm2
required when inside of the PDP on specified sites (contact site supervisor
for more information)
• FR rated pants and long sleeve shirt with all-natural fiber under garments.
• FR rated under shirt
• FR rated coveralls (layering system to 25 cal/cm2
)
• Arc flash hood
If fall protection is required it must be FR rated – otherwise it must be removed

DC-109164-01 Rev B
Level 4 PPE –
All Clipper-supplied for use with the following energized equipment - PDP:
40 cal/cm2
required when inside of the PDP on specified sites (contact site supervisor
for more information)
• Layering to 40 cal/cm2
FR rated pants and long sleeve shirt with all-natural fiber under
garments
• FR rated overalls with the layering system to (40 cal/cm2
)
• 40 cal/cm2
arc flash suit hood
• 40 cal/cm2
flash suit jacket
• 40 cal/cm2
flash suit pants
If fall protection is required it must be FR rated – otherwise it must be removed
Lockout/Tag out
Lockout/tagout procedures must be followed when power is not required to perform the task.
Testing and troubleshooting may be done live.
To minimize the hazard, repairs can only be done when system has been properly de-energized or
circuits isolated.
If it is impossible to establish an electrically safe work environment, be sure to shut down every
possible energy source.
Understand that sometimes a de-energized circuit can become re-energized, and necessary
precautions must be taken.
The Lockout/Tagout Standard was created to help reduce the death and injury rate caused by the
unexpected energization or start-up of machines, or the release of stored energy.
Ask supervisor to review the affected policies with the technicians. Reference Datastay.
For additional questions pertaining to the Clipper Arc Flash Program, contact immediate supervisor, site
manager or regional EHS professional.

Harness Inspection
Overview This document is intended as supplemental material to Harness Inspection
Training and to be accompanied by practical training performed by an
identified competent person.
When to
inspect
A harness shall be inspected before every use. An inspection log shall be
kept on site to record the inspection of each harness. A “qualified” person
shall inspect and record the inspection on a quarterly basis. When
information concerning the prior inspections is out of date, unclear, or not on
the harness, notify the site EHS Coordinator immediately and identify the
harness as out of service until an inspection is complete.
Taking a
harness out of
service
A harness shall be taken out of service if any of the following occurs:
• If the harness fails inspection.
• If the harness has been in service for five years past the date of
issuance.
• If the harness is ever exposed to a shock load.
If there doubts about any PPE or Personal Fall Arrest Equipment, TAKE IT
OUT of service immediately. It should always be presumed that all
equipment is unsafe before it has been inspected. Always consult the site
EHS Coordinator for further information.
Primary
Inspection
Areas
• Webbing
• Material
• Connections
• Labels
OSHA
1926.502(d)(21)
A personal fall arrest system must be inspected prior to each use. Any
component with any significant defect such as tears, abrasions, mold
or undue stretching, alterations or additions which might affect its
efficiency, damage due to deterioration, contact with fire, acids or other
corrosives, distorted hooks or faulty spring, loose or damaged
mountings, non-functional parts or wearing, must be removed from
service immediately.

Harness Usage
Steps to assist
proper usage of
the harness
Make sure the dorsal D-ring is properly positioned between the shoulder
blades. The straps that wrap around the thigh should be tightened to a point
that allows for two fingers to easily slide between the strap and the thigh.
Hang in the harness from an approved anchor point a few feet off the ground
to ensure a proper fit.
What to do if
PFP has been
shock-loaded
1. Fill out a near miss/accident investigation report.
2. Report the incident to a safety supervisor.
3. Turn the harness and connector over to the site supervisor or EHS
coordinator at once. Do not use it again!
Lanyards Stay aware of the position of the lanyards.
Do not allow lanyards to wrap around other elements of the harness.
Only one lanyard is allowed to be connected to the D-ring located on the
back of the harness. The one lanyard shall be a “Y” type lanyard with a built-
in shock absorbing (deceleration) device.
Make sure that all the gear in the harness system is compatible.
Always have another individual help inspect lanyards and that proper
attachment is made to the rear (dorsal) D-ring.
Harness
Storage
Store gear in a location where is free from the elements, including UV
(ultraviolet) light or sun exposure; which can degrade the harness and
lanyard material. The rear window of a vehicle is not the proper place to store
personal fall protection equipment.

Accidents, Injuries, and Violence
Accidents and
Injuries
If you are a victim of, or observe an accident that involves an injury such as a
cut, sprain, or more serious trauma (injury):
1. Determine if medical attention is necessary.
• If the injury requires more than the most basic of First-Aid
(application of a band aid), then medical attention is necessary.
• When in doubt, call for help and let medical professionals decide.
2. If needed call 9-1-1. Notify the Site Supervisor and the Safety Supervisor.
• State the nature and location of the emergency, and the number
of patients (victims)
• Example: O&M Building for an employee with a bad cut to his
hand.
• Example: Turbine 6 for 2 employees struck by a falling wrench.
3. ALL Injuries MUST be reported. Injury reporting forms will be made
available to all employees. Be sure to return them as soon as possible to
the Regional HSE Supervisor.
4. Be as detailed as possible when documenting an accident/injury, so that
we may understand the causes involved as fully as possible. This is NOT
to just “assign blame,” but will help all of us to work towards preventing
future accidents. Our goal MUST be “no accidents/injuries!”

Accidents, Injuries, and Violence, Continued
Acts of
Violence
1. Report all acts of theft, vandalism, and violence IMMEDIATELY to Site
Supervisor and Safety Supervisor, or call 9-1-1.
2. Do NOT physically engage someone committing an act of violence
UNLESS in defense of your personal safety.
3. IF possible to do so SAFELY, pay close attention to the perpetrator’s
appearance and provide that information to responding authorities.
4. In the event of a holdup, cooperate in every possible way, giving money,
wallet, or other items as ordered. Always remember: no item is worth
your life!

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 8 of 22
Power Failure and Hazardous Material
Power Failure Follow directions received from your supervisor, be aware that some
equipment may still be energized or could present a hazard upon re-
establishment of power.
**Nobody should be in an area without light. Exercising great caution, move
to an area with at least minimal light (enough to locate an exit path).
Hazardous
Material
A hazardous material release could involve substances such as paint,
solvents, de-greasers, oils, lubricants, propane, etc. MSDS for all hazardous
materials used will be maintained and accessible at all times to all
employees. The MSDS will be located in the “Right to Know” center, along
with a list of all chemicals used.
1. IF the release does NOT represent a hazard beyond its immediate
location:
• Ask all occupants to LEAVE the affected area, contact your
supervisor.
• Post warning cones outside the secured area.
• If unsure about the hazard, proceed with building EVACUATION
following the exit routes posted on the Evacuation Plan, and avoiding
a path adjacent to the hazardous material.
2. IF the material is UNKNOWN or poses a hazard beyond its immediate
location (e.g. very large quantity, highly volatile, explosive, or toxic
compound), EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY/CALL 9-1-1.
3. IF a person has become contaminated with the substance, notify EMS
immediately.
• If contamination is to the eyes, check MSDS and if indicated assist
the victim to the closest eye wash station AWAY from the spill. Flush
eyes thoroughly for at least 15 minutes and ensure 9-1-1 has been
called.
• If contamination is to the skin, check MSDS and if indicated wash the
affected area as quickly as possible; continue to flush the skin for at
least 15 minutes and call 9-1-1 for chemical burns.
IF possible to do so SAFELY, position a responsible person at locations
outside the immediate spill area to direct people, traffic, etc., AWAY from the
spill.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 9 of 22
Bomb Threat
Procedure 1. Notify Site Supervisor and Safety Supervisor
2. Notify Police (9-1-1)
3. Follow any instructions received from the Police
4. The receiver of the call should attempt to get as much information as
possible.
5. Fill out the Bomb Threat Checklist as soon as possible and relay to
Police.
6. Do NOT attempt to locate, move, or disarm any suspicious items. Inform
authorities of the item when they arrive. Alert others to stay clear of the
item.

Severe Weather
Tornado or
Severe Weather
Alerts
1. Notification of an approaching storm will be made by the National
Weather Service and relayed to supervisors by the Safety Supervisor, or
his 2nd
-shift designee. Supervisors should relay appropriate warning
information to employees in their area, and review the Tornado Shelter
location (Interior room of main building).
2. As much as possible, all employees should attempt to keep abreast of
changing weather conditions. Tornados and severe weather can develop
quickly, and without warning. If threatening conditions seem imminent,
seek shelter; even in the absence of official weather warnings/tornado
alerts. Waiting can be a fatal mistake!
3. The National Weather Service will issue weather advisories/warnings.
During weather emergencies, ALL employees, visitors, and contractors
MUST take shelter IMMEDIATELY. Supervisors are responsible for
accounting for the employees in their charge.
4. Remain in shelter until the “All-Clear” is given.
5. Remember: straight-line winds can do as much, or even greater damage
than a tornado. If instructed to seek shelter, do not waste time arguing
about the need for shelter…evacuate immediately to the designated
shelter area.
Ice, Sleet, or
Snow
Notification of a major ice/sleet/snow storm will be made by the National
Weather Service. Site management will decide if early closing/late opening is
indicated. If conditions in your local area are not safe for travel, your own
best judgment must be used.

Fire
Procedure 1. If Fire Alarm sounds, evacuate the building as quickly as possible,
following established evacuation routes. Be prepared to use an alternate
route if your primary escape route is blocked by fire. If a fire is observed
and no alarm is sounding, activate the fire alarm and evacuate the
building.
2. Ensure 9-1-1 is called from a safe location. Try to provide the dispatcher
with as much information as possible as to: where the fire is located,
what is burning, if everyone has evacuated the area, if people are
trapped, etc. Remember, the dispatcher hangs up FIRST.
3. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring the evacuation of their crew,
and for conducting a Personnel Accountability Report (PAR).
• At the start of a shift supervisors will record the names and duties of
their crew.
• Upon evacuation, supervisors will escort their crew out of harm’s way.
• The Safety Supervisor (or the 2nd
-shift designee) will contact all
supervisors by radio or in-person to verify total evacuation of the
building/structure.
4. The PAR will be used to determine if all are accounted for, or if anyone is
missing.
• By utilizing the PAR, the supervisor should be able to relay to
firefighters, the last known location of the missing person in order to
facilitate a more efficient/timely search and rescue effort.
Key Points IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER in the EVENT of a FIRE:
1. Do NOT use a fire extinguisher unless 9-1-1 has been called, you are
trained to use it, AND can do so SAFELY.
• Remember “PASS:”
• PULL the pin
• AIM at the base of the fire
• SQUEEZE the handle
• SWEEP back and forth
• Be sure to leave yourself an escape route
• Most extinguishers only last 10-20 seconds!

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 14 of 22
Fire, Continued
Key Points
(continued)
2. If you observe employees, visitors, or contractors not taking the fire alarm
seriously, please encourage them to do so. This can save their life, and
will reduce risks to the firefighters.
3. Do not stop to retrieve personal belongings or make phone calls. If
possible and if it can be done SAFELY, take your car keys with you in
case vehicles need to be moved to make room for fire apparatus. NEVER
return into a burning building.
4. Use posted evacuation routes; be prepared to take an alternate route if
your primary means of egress is blocked by fire or other hazard (ie. throw
a chair through a window and escape through window).
5. If things are falling on or around you, get under a sturdy table or desk
until they stop falling.
6. Leave quickly, but DO NOT PANIC. Panic results in more injury and
death in large occupancy fires than the fire itself (in most cases).
7. If possible, and ensuring it will not trap anybody, close doors behind you
to limit fire spread (office area).
8. When approaching a closed door that may lead to a burning room use
the back of your hand to feel the lower, middle, and upper parts of the
door before opening it. If the door is hot, find another way out. NEVER
use the palm or your fingers to test for heat. Burning these areas could
severely impair your ability to escape the fire.
9. If the door is NOT HOT, open it slowly and ensure that fire and/or smoke
is not blocking your escape route. If your route is blocked, close the door
immediately, and find another route.
10. Remember to “stay low and go” where smoke conditions exist. Cleaner
and cooler air will be found near the floor, be prepared to crawl if
necessary.
11. ALWAYS keep in mind at least 2 ways out of your area, in the event that
your primary escape route becomes blocked.
FIRE DOUBLES IN SIZE EVERY 30 SECONDS!

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 15 of 22
Medical Emergency
Procedure 1. In the event of a medical or emotional emergency, keep the area clear. In
general, victims should NOT be moved unless other hazards pose an
immediate threat to life. For a medical victim (non-trauma), generally a
“position of comfort” is desirable, especially for chest pains and difficulty
breathing.
2. CALL 9-1-1, notify your supervisor, and the Safety Supervisor.
3. Position fellow employees to guide emergency responders to the patient.
4. Ask bystanders to leave; try to protect the victim’s privacy as much as
possible.
5. Try to calm, and reassure the victim. Keeping an emergency victim calm,
while a challenge, is a tremendous help to them.
6. Offer first aid if you are trained and willing to do so.
• NOTE: Offering first aid outside of your job duties would be done as a
“Good Samaritan.”
• Already certified First Responders, EMT-Basics, Paramedics, etc.
may offer care, but will only be allowed to function at the level of their
abilities.
7. If blood is released, notify your supervisor. Qualified personnel will
handle any blood/body fluid clean-up, using provided clean up kits
(located with the First Aid kits).
8. If you attempt to help the victim, ensure your safety; both from hazards at
the scene and from potential Blood borne Pathogens (BBP). Use
provided medical gloves, CPR masks, etc., located in the First Aid kits.
9. If you feel that you were exposed to blood or other infectious materials
through providing First Aid, a needle stick, etc., contact the Safety
Supervisor as soon as possible for information regarding medical
attention and reporting.
10. An Automated External Defibrillators (AED) will be located in the main
office, AED training will be offered periodically to interested employees.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 16 of 22
Chemical or Biological Emergency
Procedure 1. LISTEN for instructions from authorities such as to remain inside
(“Shelter in-Place”) or to evacuate.
2. If you are instructed to Shelter in-Place during a chemical or biological
attack:
• If A/C or fan controls are in the room, turn off ALL ventilation, air
conditioners, vents, and fans.
• Seek shelter in an internal room, preferably one without windows.
• Remain in protected areas where toxic vapors are reduced or
eliminated.
3. If you are caught in an unprotected area, you should:
• Attempt to get up-wind of the contaminated area.
• Attempt to find shelter as quickly as possible.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 17 of 22
Nuclear or Radiological Emergency
Procedure 1. LISTEN for instructions from authorities such as whether to remain inside
(“Shelter in-Place”) or to evacuate. If you are instructed to Shelter in-
Place during a nuclear or radiological emergency:
• Take cover as quickly as you can and stay there unless instructed
to do otherwise.
• If you are caught outside, unable to get inside immediately, take
cover behind anything that might offer protection. Lie flat on the
ground and cover your head.
• Key protection ideas in nuclear/radiological emergencies:
• Shielding: get behind anything that may block radiation.
• Time: try to minimize the amount of time you are exposed.
• Distance: the farther you are from the source, the better.
2. Do NOT look at the flash or fireball. It is bright enough, it CAN BLIND
YOU!
3. Protect yourself from radioactive fallout. If you are close enough to see
the brilliant flash of a nuclear explosion, the fallout will arrive within 20
minutes.
4. LISTEN for official information. FOLLOW the instructions given. Local
instructions should ALWAYS take precedence: officials on the ground
know the local situation best.
5. Do not leave the shelter until officials say that it is safe. Follow their
instructions when leaving.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 18 of 22
Site Evacuation
Procedure 1. In the event that the site must be evacuated, act quickly, but DO NOT
PANIC! Panic often leads to more injuries and deaths than the actual
emergency. Pay close attention to your surroundings as you exit.
Incidents such as FIRE or HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RELEASES may
require you to choose an alternate route quickly.
2. Any gate should be opened immediately after leaving the site, to
allow for employees to assemble and to allow emergency response
vehicles access.
3. Once you are away from the site, stay clear of any entryways to facilitate
emergency responder access to the emergency. Be aware of fire hoses
that may be present so that you do not trip over them. Watch out for
responders carrying bulky equipment.
4. If possible to do so SAFELY, and if immediately available, take your car
keys with you in case vehicles need to be moved to make room for
emergency vehicles.
5. Do NOT re-enter the building until instructed to do so by Plant
Management and/or emergency responders. Do NOT take it upon
yourself to turn off an alarm or to “give an all-clear.” ONLY the
emergency responders can do this. Plant Management will work closely
with the Incident Commander (IC) throughout the incident to ensure your
safety, and that of the facility.
6. If you observe fellow employees, visitors, contractors, etc. not taking an
alarm or evacuation request seriously; please encourage them to do so.
This may save their life, and will reduce the risks to emergency
personnel.
7. Upon evacuation, Supervisors will conduct a Personnel Accountability
Report (PAR) of the employees in their charge. The Safety Supervisor (or
2nd
shift designee) will meet with each Supervisor in-person, or by radio
to ensure all are accounted for. Anyone missing MUST be reported
IMMEDIATELY so that Firefighters can be notified. Be sure to state
where and when the employee was last seen, so as to initiate the most
timely/efficient/safest Search and Rescue effort by the Firefighters.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 19 of 22
Tower Evacuation
Overview It is the intent of this evacuation plan to provide a standard operating policy
for most tower emergency situations. In times of emergency, the chaos that
often ensues can lead to poor decision making thereby putting personnel in
greater danger than they should be. Emergency situations are dynamic and
require proper procedures be followed to ensure the ultimate safety of all
personnel. The information covered here is not all inclusive, when situations
arise that are different than or are not included in this document it is
imperative to leave decision making to the professionals, call 911.
Up-tower
Medical
Emergencies
Minor Injuries: In the event of an injury to personnel in the tower, it is
important to assess the situation for hazards to you as the rescuer. Once the
scene is determined to be safe, the victim should be evaluated and cared for.
For minor injuries (cuts or scrapes) it is advised to assist to victim in
obtaining the necessary equipment from the medical kit kept in the Nacelle to
mitigate the situation. Always notify your supervisor of any injuries sustained
while in the turbine and be sure to fill out an accident report immediately
upon returning to the office.
Major Injuries: Injuries that leave personnel unable to exit the tower
unassisted require a careful assessment of a complicated situation. As with
previously, the rescuer must evaluate for areas of potential harm to himself
or others. Once the scene is determined to be safe, care should be rendered
to the victim to treat any and all life threatening situations. The victim’s
airway should be clear, they should be breathing, and they should have
circulation. An immediate call to base should be made over the two-way
radio to inform of the emergency and 9-1-1 should be called to activate EMS
response. The victim should not be moved if there is any evidence of head
or spinal injury. All major bleeding should be controlled and broken limbs be
stabilized until professional rescuers arrive. After rescuers determine it is
safe to do so, the patient may be removed from the tower via whatever
acceptable means necessary (ie. climbing harness and emergency descent
device inside tower, stokes basket and emergency descent device outside of
tower, etc…).

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 20 of 22
Tower Evacuation, Continued
Up-tower
Medical
Emergencies
(continued)
Medical Emergency: Medical emergencies in the turbine can be for any
number of reasons but can pose very similar challenges. Heat exhaustion,
heart attack, stroke, and diabetic emergencies are some of the many
possibilities that can arise without warning. Notify the base at once of the
emergency and get EMS activated. Check the victim to verify an open
airway, breathing, and circulation. In the absence of breathing and or
circulation, begin appropriate CPR measures if trained. If not trained,
emergency dispatchers on 9-1-1 can often talk you through CPR.
Evacuation can be achieved with the already present up-tower emergency
descent devise in tower or out tower using a climbing harness or stokes
basket as directed by emergency personnel.
Fire
Emergencies
Fire in the tower is a situation in which the correct actions must be taken
immediately to ensure safe evacuation. Depending on the location of the fire
relative to your position, several evacuation routes are possible.
Fire Below: In the event you are in the tower and a fire occurs below you at
the base, up-tower evacuation is the only choice. Notify base by radio and
have them call 9-1-1 to notify the fire department. Proceed up into the
Nacelle and open the roll up door. Affix the emergency descent device to the
jib crane and the front D-ring on your safety harness. Descend to the ground
either one at a time or two at a time as required. As one individual descends
down the other end of the descent device comes back up for the next
individual to descend. If the roll up door will not open, you can descend from
the Nacelle top by attaching to the safety rail.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 21 of 22
Tower Evacuation, Continued
Fire
Emergencies
(continued)
Fire in the Nacelle while you are in the Nacelle: If you are in the Nacelle and
a fire occurs, two options present themselves. If you are able to evacuate
quickly without any harm through the spill deck, do so immediately and climb
down as quickly and safely as possible. If you cannot get to the spill deck
due to fire conditions, one individual should affix the emergency descent
device to the jib crane chain as low as possible (preferably below the area of
fire) while the other individual fights the fire with the up-tower fire
extinguisher. Notify base of the emergency as soon as can safely be done
by radio and have them call 9-1-1. Both individuals should then descend
together as soon as the descent device is attached and is safe to do so.
Fire above you: Notify base of the fire emergency by radio and have them
call 9-1-1. Descend the tower as quickly as possible using the ladder.
In all instances, do not worry about taking tools, computers, or personal
belongings. All items can be replaced but life cannot. Evacuate as quickly
as can safely be done.

1. Secure or isolate the area if possible. Reflective safety cones are
available for this purpose.
2. Notify your supervisor of the problem.
3. If you can, consider resolving the problem yourself (grabbing the mop
from the utility closet, for example).
Odors If strange odors should arise, and the origin cannot be determined, notify
your Supervisor.
Flooding If areas of the plant become flooded, notify your Supervisor and Plant
Management. Do NOT enter an area where electrical equipment may be in
contact with the water.
Other Hazards 1. While this guide is as comprehensive as possible, there is no way to
predict/plan for every possible emergency or unusual situation that may
arise. You, as an employee, MUST be able to use your common sense to
recognize an unusual/hazardous situation, and to take steps appropriate
to the situation.
2. Secure the affected area; notify your Supervisor, Plant Manager, Safety
Supervisor, etc. as appropriate.
3. Always remember, YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST!

indicative of the primary objectives of the Clipper Windpower Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
This program includes all persons engaged in work for, or any third parties who come into contact with
Clipper Windpower.
It is the duty of each employee to comply with the Clipper Windpower safety policy and collaborate with
Clipper Windpower management to ensure the workplace is a safe environment for all those who enter

If any person doubts the safety of a particular place or object, they must assume that it is unsafe until
further guidance is given by their manager, site supervisor or EHS representative. Employees shall feel
comfortable in the fact that they are able to report EHS concerns at any time without the fear of
discrimination or reprisal for doing so.
The Clipper Windpower board of directors is fully committed to maintaining safe systems of work and
fully recognizes their overall responsibility for safety in the workplace.
Clipper Windpower Environmental Health and Safety board members have reviewed and approved the
companywide use of this safety policy.
Any member of staff who does not comply with this safety policy or any other safety requirement is

Policy Overview
Purpose
The purpose of the Clipper Windpower Inc. (Clipper Windpower) Injury and Illness Prevention Program
(IIPP) is designed to have a coordinated and comprehensive approach to health and safety matters.
Companywide commitment to health and safety is maintained specifically in supporting programs listed
in the Clipper Windpower SharePoint and Quality Management System.
Working Philosophy
It is the intent of Clipper Windpower to comply with all applicable state, local and federal standards and
regulations. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas that may produce
injuries and illnesses. No employee is required to work at a job he or she knows is not safe or healthy.
Cooperation in identifying hazards and, in turn, correcting them, is a condition of employment.
Employees shall inform their supervisor immediately of any situation beyond their ability or authority to
correct.
The personal safety and health of each employee of this company is of primary importance. Prevention
of occupationally-induced injuries and illnesses is of such consequence that it will be given precedence
over operating productivity whenever necessary. To the greatest degree possible, management will
provide all mechanical and physical activities required for personal safety and health in keeping with the
highest standards.
Clipper will maintain a safety and health program conforming to the best practices of organizations of
this type. To be successful, such a program must embody proper attitudes toward injury and illness
prevention on the part of supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and
health matters, not only between supervisor and employee, but also between each employee and
his/her co-workers. Only through such a cooperative effort will this safety program, in the best interest
of all, be established and preserved.
Our objective is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an
absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing the best experience of operations similar
to ours. Our goal is zero injuries and illnesses.
Awareness Expectations
Every employee shall be trained and aware of the Clipper Windpower IIPP requirements. Employees,
contractors and subcontractors shall give consideration to health and safety issues before, during and
after every applicable job task. Our goal is to achieve 100% compliance with federal, state and local
regulatory standards, in addition to Clipper Windpower operational requirements. These requirements
help sustain a “world class” IIPP and ensure admirable health and safety performance across all facets
of the organization.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Program Strategic Objectives
The Program is designed to:
 Reinforce management commitment to the Health and Safety Program
 Provide a communication system with our employees concerning health and safety, and to
encourage feedback
 Continually develop a health and safety system that ensures employee compliance
 Effectively identify and evaluate workplace hazards in the design, construction and operational
phases
 Conduct vigorous accident and near miss investigations
 Establish methods for correcting unsafe or unhealthy conditions
 Establish a training and certification program for employees

DC-006571-01 REV D
Leadership and Commitment Responsibilities
Program Administrator
The Clipper Windpower program Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) director is the IIPP
administrator. He or she is responsible for carefully reviewing the requirements for each of the eight
IIPP elements. The EHS director also has the authority and responsibility to implement the provisions of
this program.
Data Management System (DMS)
Clipper Windpower utilizes a Quality Management System and document repository (DMS). This
system supports the monitoring of preventative and corrective action items through completion.
Managers and Supervisors
Managers and supervisors are responsible for implementing and maintaining the provisions of the IIPP
in their work areas and for answering employee questions about the IIPP. A copy of the IIPP is
available from each manager, the EHS SharePoint web site, as well as DMS. Management is also
responsible for providing the resources, tools and equipment necessary for Clipper Windpower
personnel, and providing the means for contractors and subcontractors to ensure a safe and healthy
work environment. Managers and supervisors are also responsible for ensuring that a work
environment which supports open reporting of EHS concerns without fear of reprisal or discrimination is
available to all employees.
Contractors and Subcontractors
Clipper Windpower Managers, Employees, Contractors and Subcontractors
Contractors and subcontractors shall take necessary measures and precautions to ensure the safety of
all personnel on the worksite. Contractors and subcontractors shall comply with all federal, state, and
local regulatory standards necessary to protect health, prevent injury to personnel and prevent damage
to property or the environment. Contractors and subcontractors deemed high risk are required to obtain
membership into PICS to prequalify their businesses to provide services to Clipper Windpower. PICS
will provide Clipper Windpower with documentation that contractors and subcontractors are compliant
with all regulations and qualified as a safe company to work with.
Clipper Windpower managers, employees, contractors and subcontractors have individual and shared
responsibilities to keep Clipper Windpower facilities safe and healthy.
EVERYONE HAS THE AUTHORITY, AND IS REQUIRED TO STOP WORK WITHOUT FEAR OF
REPRISAL WHEN A JOB TASK OR WORK CONDITION IS UNSAFE OR UNHEALTHY. ANY
EMPLOYEE WHO FEELS THEY ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR REPORTING AN
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OR SAFETY CONDITION SHOULD CONTACT THE CLIPPER
WINDPOWER HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Organization, Resources and Documentation
Compliance
Every employer is required by law (Cal OSHA Labor Code Section 6400 and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970) to provide a safe and healthy workplace for their employees.
The Clipper Windpower IIPP complies with and satisfies the requirements of Cal-OSHA Title (T) 8
California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 3203 of the General Industry Safety Orders which
requires every employer to establish, implement, and maintain an effective written Injury and Illness
Prevention Program.
Health and Safety Communication
Clipper Windpower personnel, contractors and subcontractors conducting work activities at Clipper
Windpower facilities are informed via diverse media of known hazards in the workplace.
New Hires
Clipper Windpower new hires, new contractors and new subcontractors shall receive task specific, site-
specific EHS training and orientations at the beginning of their employment.
Committees
Clipper Windpower management has established an EHS Committee in which all classifications of
employees are represented. As part of this multi-level committee, Clipper Windpower has EHS
Coordinators at each facility or project location. The function of this committee is to promote various
activities as a means to ensure adherence to the health and safety program in the workplace.
Meetings
Clipper Windpower uses these committee meetings as a method of communicating health and safety
matters internally, externally, and to different levels in the organization. EHS performance issues,
incidents, incentives and investigations are reviewed in these meetings, which result in suggestions
and/or corrective actions if necessary.
At the field level Clipper Windpower contractors and subcontractors conduct weekly Safety and daily
tailgate meetings to discuss associated job hazards. Additional department meetings are held on a
weekly basis, along with ongoing reporting to senior management.
Publications
EHS publications are a series of procedures and processes listed in our DMS and EHS web site, in
addition to safety bulletins issued throughout the company.
EHS Scorecard
Environmental Health and Safety goals are an integral part of Clipper Windpower business objectives,
and are included in company business plans and performance incentives. Clipper Windpower and
contractor performance is tracked and monitored to report yearly EHS goals and progress, specifically
related to performance.
Recognition
Clipper Windpower uses several methods to recognize employee efforts toward outstanding
compliance with the Health and Safety Program. The primary method of acknowledgment lies within the
annual review process; each employee is evaluated (in part) by EHS compliance throughout the year.
This weighs heavily on merit pay increase or bonus, if applicable.
