For <strong>Micron</strong> team members <strong>and</strong> employees <strong>of</strong> other companies, this means:<br />

• Promptly reporting potential hazards to your supervisor, host or the<br />

Safety Department;<br />

• Wearing required protective equipment while on the job;<br />

• Exercising care with chemicals <strong>and</strong> other potentially hazardous materials;<br />

• Operating <strong>and</strong> maintaining machinery <strong>and</strong> equipment in accordance with all<br />

safety rules <strong>and</strong> procedures;<br />

• Working in an ergonomically responsible manner;<br />

• Responding appropriately in an emergency; <strong>and</strong><br />

• Promptly reporting any job-related injury or illness.<br />

Team members are prohibited from endangering the health <strong>and</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> others,<br />

through, among other things: possession <strong>of</strong> a firearm or other dangerous weapons<br />

on Company premises (including but not limited to Company parking lots); bringing<br />

explosives or dangerous chemicals on Company premises; eating, drinking, or<br />

smoking in prohibited areas; or being in restricted areas without permission.<br />

Preventing Workplace Violence<br />

All team members are expected to solve conflicts in a responsible manner. It is not<br />

acceptable to threaten violence in any manner or to engage in actions which create<br />

an actual or potential hazard for others in the workplace. Team members should<br />

contact their supervisors or the site Security Department for assistance in solving<br />

problems appropriately if they are unable to do so themselves. If threats or violent<br />

behavior do occur, team members should report them as described below.<br />

Team members are expected to solve personal issues outside <strong>of</strong> the workplace.<br />

However, if a team member receives threats or suffers violence from non-team<br />

members while at <strong>Micron</strong>, through the phone, voicemail, email, physical trespassing<br />

on <strong>Micron</strong> property or otherwise, it should be reported to the site Security<br />

Department. <strong>Micron</strong> may be able to take steps to reduce the other person’s ability to<br />

contact a team member at work. For matters outside <strong>of</strong> work, team members should<br />

contact law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />

Team Member Confidentiality<br />

<strong>Micron</strong> believes in respecting the confidentiality <strong>of</strong> our team members’ personal<br />

information. This means that access to personal records should be limited to<br />

Company personnel who have appropriate authorization <strong>and</strong> a clear business need<br />

for that information. Team members who have access to personal information must<br />

adhere to the highest st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>of</strong> confidentiality regarding the use <strong>of</strong> personal<br />

information.<br />

Never provide personal team member information to anyone outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>Micron</strong><br />

without proper authorization. All inquiries should be referred to the Human Resources<br />

Department.<br />

Q<br />

I have noticed that my<br />

supervisor’s breath <strong>of</strong>ten smells<br />

like alcohol <strong>and</strong> sometimes he<br />

seems impaired. I am afraid<br />

that if I confront him or tell<br />

anyone, it may cause a scene<br />

or he may try to get me fired.<br />

What should I do?<br />

A<br />

A safe work environment is<br />

absolutely critical. If there is<br />

enough evidence to believe a<br />

problem may exist, speak right<br />

away with your Department<br />

Manager, a Human Resources<br />

representative, or call the<br />

Compliance Hotline. <strong>Micron</strong><br />

will not tolerate retaliation<br />

against you <strong>and</strong> will take steps<br />

to protect you from any.<br />
