• 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 />

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 />
