 II. Introduction

The Adams Cooling Tower Construction, Inc. Mission Statement: Our

mission is to provide superior service and quality products to our
customers at outstanding value, outperforming competition, to yield a
suitable return to our shareholders and provide a regarding
environment for our employees.

A rewarding environment is a safe environment. However, there is a

deadly enemy that interferes with your safety on the job. Even the
company you work for cant protect you from it. It is your attitude
that boasts it cant happen to me. True, it is the responsibility of the
company to provide you with a safe work environment. Every effort is
made to plan safety into the scope of the job. Yet, you have the
ultimate responsibility to work safely so that you do not endanger
yourself or your fellow workers.

The highest priority is being placed on your safety at the jobsite. This
maximizes productivity while reducing accidents and injuries. Value
your well-being and the safety of others around you. Always control
the safety of the job; dont allow the job to control the safety, or
safety wont exist.

2
 III. Management Safety Policy
Adams Cooling Tower Construction, Inc. recognizes managements
responsibility in providing and maintaining the safest possible
conditions for our employees. The efficiency of these conditions can
be measured directly by ability to control unnecessary loss. Accidents
resulting in personal injury and/or damage to property and equipment
represent needless waste in the form of personal suffering, lost time,
talent and money. It is our goal as a company to develop a positive
attitude towards safety at the jobsite. A good safety record is clear
evidence of good management.

Adams Cooling Tower Construction, Inc. safety principles are:

1. Safety and accident prevention is Adams Cooling Towers top

priority.

2. The most important element of our safety program is you, our

employee.

3. All accidents are preventable.

4. Employees will be rewarded for working safely.

maintain a workforce and workplace free of alcohol and drugs.

Jimmy W. Adams
President

To: All Adams Cooling Tower Construction Employees

Subject: Alcohol & Controlled Drug Abuse Policy Guidelines

We have had an alcohol and drug abuse policy in effect since January,
1989. My purpose in having a policy is twofold: first and foremost is
to foster a safe workplace and work environment, and second to offer
help and rehabilitation to the employee with a problem. Our best
avenue is through peer pressure and peer support. Violations of the
guidelines damage us all directly or indirectly and we must deal with
those impacts.

Policy application will be sensitively balanced with concern for

protecting the personal, civil, and constitutional rights of each
employee and the management rights of the company. We will act
when reasonable suspicion is found. We reserve the right to test for
substance abuse when accidents occur or reasonable suspicion is
found. If any employee feels unjustly treated by actions taken, he/she
may appeal in writing within thirty days of the occurrence. The
request should state all the reasons why relief should be granted. The
company will render a final decision on the appeal, in writing, within
thirty days after the appeal is received.

Page 24 must be signed and returned.

Should you have any questions after reading these guidelines, your
supervisor will be glad to discuss them with you. You may also contact
me.

Very truly yours,

17
Jimmy W. Adams
Alcohol and Controlled Drug Abuse
Policy Guideline

1. We want a safe work environment in the work place.

2. We want to help those employees who have a problem, and

volunteer for help.

3. We reserve the right to test any employee, given reasonable

suspicion.

4. We reserve the right to test all new employees as a condition of

employment.

5. We comply with the law. Society has established certain guidelines,

and we will basically comply, i.e., operating machinery, alcohol levels;
but society does not randomly test. We wont either.

6. Discipline for violation of policy can include actions up to and

including termination.

The purpose of this guideline is to provide expanded information about

Alcohol and Drug Policy for the Adams Cooling Tower Construction,
Inc. workforce, supervisors, contractors, subcontractors, customers,
investigative agencies, and visitors (hereafter referred to as Group) to
clearly understand that the use, possession, distribution, sale or
manufacture of any controlled substance (including alcohol or drug
paraphernalia of misuse of legitimate prescription drugs) while in our
facilities, on Adams Cooling Tower Construction properties or at Adams
Cooling Tower Construction worksites is absolutely prohibited.
Additionally, members of this Group may not enter or work on Adams
Cooling Tower Construction properties or any of its work sites when a
measurable presence of unauthorized substance exists in their bodies.

Violation or refusal to comply may be cause for permanent termination

of relational privileges of entry or access to work sites and cancellation
of contracts and removal from bid lists for such period of time as
deemed appropriate by Adams Cooling Tower Construction owner.

18
The following guideline applies to all members of the Group working in
or requiring access to our facilities, properties, and work site or
customer properties, unless otherwise accepted.

The intent of Adams Cooling Tower Construction is to exclude all

alcohol (as well as all substances and drugs which are illegal or
controlled under the laws of the United States of America or states,
cities, counties or countries where work/services are performed) and
all drugs and substances which impair an individuals ability to safely
and competently perform work.

In addition to controlled substances, this guideline applies to synthetic

or designed drugs and all prescription drugs used without a current
prescription issued to the user and issued by a licensed physician or
used in an amount greater than prescribed. If there is any question as
to whether or not a substance is prohibited by this guideline, the
decision of either the designated Adams Cooling Tower Construction
medical authority or the customers medical representative will govern,
whichever is the more stringent.

Exceptions (following) may be granted from certain requirements at

the discretion of the facility/site manager and (where applicable) the
customer if their rules are more stringent.

1. Persons in the Group performing work covered by the

Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations will be
required to comply with a drug program set forth in the
Code of Federal Register (CFR);
2. Persons who are at the site for short periods of time such as
making deliveries;
3. Group members who come on the site solely for observation,
inspection, conference or similar activities.

Short-notice hiring may be permitted to begin work pending the

receipt of the results of pre-access requirements.

When customer requirements are less stringent than Adams Cooling

Tower Construction, the on-site Adams Cooling Tower Construction
manager may choose to allow access based on customer reasoning.
Other exceptions will need the approval of the facility/site manager
and the safety director and the president if deemed necessary.

19
 Drug and Alcohol Policy

Adams Cooling Tower Construction recognizes that alcohol, illegal

drug, controlled substance abuse and excess use of over-the-counter
drugs in the work place are major concerns. Prohibiting the use or
influence of alcohol, illegal drugs and controlled substances in the
workplace will improve the safety and health of all our employees.
The object of Adams Cooling Tower Constructions policy is to provide
and maintain a safe and healthy workplace for all employees and
protect the interests of Adams Cooling Tower Constructions owners,
employees and customers.

Accordingly, the improper use, abuse, possession, distribution,

manufacture, dispensation, purchase, transfer or sale of alcohol,
controlled substances and inhalants or illegal drugs by employees
when on work time, on duty or on company premises is prohibited.
Employees must not report for duty, be on company premises or
represent the company while under the influence of alcohol, illegal
drugs or controlled substances.

An employees use of a prescription or over-the-counter medicine can

pose a significant risk to the safety of the employee and of others.
Employees must report the use of medically authorized drugs or other
substances that may impair job performance to their immediate
supervisor and may be required to provide properly written medical
authorization from a physician to work while using such authorized
drug. It is the employees responsibility to determine from the
physician whether or not the prescribed drug would impair his/her job
performance. Any failure to report the use of such drugs or other
substances, or failure to provide evidence of medical authorization,
may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Adams Cooling Tower Construction reserves the right to conduct

applicant drug testing and employee drug and alcohol testing. Adams
Cooling Tower Construction has a policy or pre-employment drug
testing, reasonable suspicion drug and/or alcohol testing and
unannounced drug testing (see below for definitions).

Post Offer Drug Testing. All final applicants receiving job offers for
positions, including full-time, part-time and temporary, will have the
job offers conditioned on satisfactorily passing a drug test. Individuals
with positive drug testing results will not be hired and may not apply
or be considered for three (3) months after a positive test result.

20
Unannounced Drug Testing. New employees and rehabilitating
employees may be subject to random testing during probation periods.
Such employees remain in the testing pool and may be randomly
selected again during the remaining probation period.

Post Accident Drug Testing. All employees who have an accident

requiring professional medical attention shall receive a drug test prior
to leaving the medical facility.

Reasonable Suspicion Drug and/or Alcohol Testing. Employee

drug and/or alcohol testing may be conducted on any employee
whenever the company has a reasonable suspicion that an employee
or group of employees is under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or
controlled substances.

Consent, Cooperation and Consequences. Individuals taking a

drug and/or alcohol test must sign a consent form for the test that
allows release of the test results to the company. Any employee who
refuses to consent to drug and/or alcohol testing, tamper with a
sample, tests positive or otherwise violates this policy may be placed
on leave, until an appropriate disciplinary action is determined, which
may be up to and including termination.

Inspections, Searches and Investigations. Adams Cooling Tower

Construction also reserves the right to inspect and/or search all
company property, as well as any employees personal property on the
company premises, for alcohol, controlled substances, illegal drugs
and inhalants or related paraphernalia.

Rehabilitation and Positive Testing. Adams Cooling Tower

Construction attempts to provide employees the opportunity to deal
with drug and alcohol-related problems. Any employee who
voluntarily requests assistance in dealing with a drug and/or alcohol
problem is urged to seek professional counseling for an assessment
and, if appropriate, to enter a treatment program. Generally,
employees who self-refer to such programs before a positive drug test
result or a work performance problem arises will not be disciplined.
Professional counseling and treatment programs for drug and/or
alcohol problems may be available through company-provided New
Directions Employee Assistance Program and health care insurance.
Any cost not covered by health care insurance is the employees
responsibility. Discontinuation of any involvement with drugs and/or
alcohol is an essential requisite for participation in any treatment
program.

21
As a result of a positive test you will be subject to disciplinary action,
up to and including termination. You may request review by
management. If your provable, documented, extraordinary mitigating
circumstances are accepted by management, any disciplinary action
arising from a drug and/or alcohol problem or as a condition of
continued employment, may require participation in a drug and/or
alcohol treatment program. An employee who is so required must be
evaluated for drug and/or alcohol use by an accredited professional.
An employee will be required to participate in follow-up care as part of
a comprehensive drug and/or alcohol program. Depending upon the
nature of the conduct that led to the employees mandated
participation in a drug and/or alcohol treatment program, the
employee may be required to submit to random urine or other
screening for drugs and/or alcohol for a specified period of time and to
meet various performance standards that are imposed as a condition
of continuing employment.

NOTE: Adams Cooling Tower Construction reserves the right to

determine whether reasonable suspicion exists, the level of discipline
to be applied and whether an employee should be given the
opportunity to participate in a drug and/or alcohol treatment program.
