Work-relatedness is <br /> presumed for illnesses that result from events or exposures in the work environment, unless it <br /> meets certain exceptions. One of those exceptions is that the illness involves signs or <br /> symptoms that surface at work but result solely from a non-work-related event or exposure <br /> that occurs outside of the work environment. Thus, if an employee develops COVID-19 <br /> solely from an exposure outside of the work environment, it would not be work-related, and <br /> thus not recordable. <br /> The Company's assessment will consider the work environment itself, the type of work <br /> performed, the risk of person-to-person transmission given the work environment, and other <br /> factors such as community spread. Further, if an employee has a confirmed case of <br /> COVID19 that is considered work-related, the Company will report the case to OSHA if it <br /> results in a fatality within 30 days or an in-patient hospitalization within 24-hours of the <br /> exposure incident. <br /> V 11.

When it is required, the number of persons who will be informed that an <br /> unnamed employee has tested positive will be kept to the minimum needed to comply with <br /> reporting requirements and to limit the potential for transmission to others. The Company <br /> reserves the right to inform other employees that an unnamed co-worker has been diagnosed <br /> with COVID-19 if the other employees might have been exposed to the disease so the <br /> employees may take measures to protect their own health. The Company also reserves the <br /> right to inform sub-contractors, vendors/suppliers or visitors that an unnamed employee has <br /> been diagnosed with COVID-19 if they might have been exposed to the disease so those <br /> individuals may take measures to protect their own health. <br /> 10 <br />
