FALL PROTECTION PLAN
Morrow Steel Erectors, Inc. has a strict Fall Protection Plan in place on all projects.
I have been informed that anytime I am working at heights above six (6) ft. I am required to wear a full body harness and lanyard (PPE), and the lanyard is to be tied-off in an appropriate manner. This applies 100% of the time, whether I am working on the iron - or within the confines of a scissor lift, man lift, or any other mechanical means.
As a condition of my employment with Morrow Steel Erectors, Inc., I acknowledge there is zero tolerance for failure to be tied off; and that if I am observed not wearing the appropriate PPE and tieing off as required, I am subject to immediate termination.
I further assert that I have received training in proper Fall Protection procedures, which includes erecting, maintaining, disassembling, and inspecting the fall protection systems to be used.
Morrow Steel has provided me with the following Fall Protection Equipment:
Description Full Body Harness: Price $150.00
Retractable Lanyard: Price $325.00
I agree that upon completion of the project (or my termination) I will return said gear, or it will be deducted from my last paycheck. I also have the option to purchase said gear at any time, while employed and have the cost deducted from my pay.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Prevention and Action Plan
Morrow Steel recognizes that in order to ensure the health and safety of our workforce, and that of other workers, on projects where multiple crafts and trades interact, it is necessary to prepare an infectious and communicable disease prevention plan.
The following outlines the various components of Morrow Steel's plan and the steps you as our supervision and workers will take to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases.
All workers will be made aware of the signs and symptoms typically associated with a virus such as the COVID-19 flu. They will be advised of the highly contagious nature of the virus, and that contact with anyone demonstrating any of the symptoms may be cause for self-quarantine or isolation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
If an employee has any of the following - they must notify you, their Supervisor, and NOT come to work.
- ✓ Fever
- ✓ Coughing and/or Sneezing
- ✓ Shortness of breath
They should inform you immediately if any of the following have occurred:
- - Worker has been in close contact with an individual exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms - Worker has recently traveled to or from a Level 3 location as defined by the CDC within the last 14 days - Worker has been in close contact in the last 14 days with anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
SAFE WORK PRACTICES
In order to prevent the transmission of the virus in our personal and professional lives the following Safe Practices are highly recommended when out in public, and will be strictly enforced on this project:
- → Practice good hygiene by washing hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- > Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60-95% alcohol.
- > Keep hands away from your mouth, nose and eyes.
Steer clear of people who are coughing or who appear ill, and avoid contact with others if you may be experiencing flu-like symptoms.
> Maintain social distancing of 6 feet or more.
> Avoid large groups as reasonably as possible (10 persons or more). > If the nature of the work/tasks is such that you cannot effectively maintain groups less than 10 with social distancing, our supervision shall explore ways of sequencing, scheduling, phasing, etc. in order to maintain compliance with this requirement.
► Cover your mouth with a tissue or in your elbow if you cough or sneeze. Immediately dispose of tissues in the trash receptacle and then wash and/or sanitize your hands.
> Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using household cleaning sprays or solutions.
► Don't share PPE, and if possible, don't share tools or other types of equipment.
> If possible, tools and equipment shall be wiped down with disinfectants prior to being used by other workers.
> We recognize that exposure can occur anywhere and an infected individual may not realize they have contracted the virus until they begin to manifest symptoms.
REPORTING PROCEDURES IN THE EVENT OF INFECTION
