1. Environmental & Safety Awareness Training
Because Technology Never Stops
Environmental & Safety Awareness Training

2. Roles and Responsibilities
Everyone has a role in making sure our operations are safe & the environment is protected. This responsibility begins with the senior managers at each of our locations and involves all managers, supervisors, engineers, support groups, and employees.
Employees
Employees must take reasonable care for their own safety, health and welfare and that of others working around them. Everyone must cooperate to ensure Teradyne complies with all applicable regulations. Employees must use the personal protective equipment and tools provided to work safely. Any defects in plant, equipment, place of work or system of work, which might endanger the environment and/or someone's health and safety must be reported.
Senior Location Managers
Senior Location Managers are responsible for the safety of all working at the location and the protection of the environment. They are the champions for the implementation of Environmental, Health & Safety Initiatives and our EHS Policy.
Managers & Supervisors
Managers & Supervisors are responsible for ensuring the safety of their employees through instruction and training, maintaining safe work systems, ensuring that equipment is maintained and serviced in a safe manner, ensuring that personal protective equipment is used where necessary and investigating and reporting accidents, near misses, and/or dangerous incidents.
Engineers
Engineers are responsible for making sure the equipment they specify and the processes and procedures they develop are assessed for environmental, safety or health hazards. They support supervisors and managers in maintaining safe work systems and the overall safety of the operation.
Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Personnel
EHS personnel are responsible for promoting environmental, health and safety awareness within Teradyne, participating in and ensuring that an effective consultation mechanism is maintained for EHS issues, and advising management of action which needs to be taken to maintain legal compliance and reduce occupational or environmental risks. They are actively involved in the sharing of best practices with other Teradyne facilities. They carry out regular EHS inspections, identify training needs & training courses, participate in accident investigation, on safety committees, and on improvement

3. Lockout Tagout What is it?
LOTO covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the "unexpected" energization or start up of the machines or equipment, or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees
Lockout-tagout involves the isolation of energy sources (electrical, air, hydraulic, etc.) and application of locks & tags to prevent those energy sources from being activated.
Only those who are trained and authorized in the use of lockout-tagout procedures and equipment are allowed to conduct service and maintenance on equipment with hazardous energy sources. Servicing & maintenance activities can include constructing, installing, setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying, maintaining, repairing, testing, or cleaning.
If you service and maintain equipment you must take Lockout/Tagout Training. Employees can register for the training by selecting it under Environmental in the LMS (learning management system) catalogue.
Awareness
Lockout-Tagout Awareness is the responsibility of every employees who operates equipment or works in areas where equipment is or may be locked and tagged out. Although not doing the actual lockout, employees should understand the meaning of locks and tags if they see it on equipment.
A lock and a tag on a piece of equipment indicates it is “locked out” for service Only the person who placed the lock and tag on the equipment may remove it. Equipment operators should never try to remove or bypass a lockout to re-energize the equipment
RED locks have been chosen by Teradyne as the designated Lockout lock and should not be used for any other purpose.

4. Electrical Safe Work Practices
Many areas of Teradyne involve work on or near energized and exposed electrical equipment. Only those qualified by training are allowed to work in these areas. All electrical hazard warning signs and labels must be acknowledged and restrictions followed as applicable. Typical electrical hazard areas include electrical rooms, system test bays, engineering labs, and hi-pot test stations.
Training Applicability Electrical Safety Awareness training is provided for all employees who face the potential risk of electric shock or other electrical hazards, but are not working on exposed energized parts. Electrical Safe Work Practice training is provided for employees who are permitted to work on or near exposed energized parts. Examples: service technicians, test engineers, design engineers, and facility electricians. Electrical Safe Work practice Training (ESWP) is a separate training. Employees can register for for the training by selecting it under Environmental in the LMS (learning management system) catalogue.
Electrical Hazard Awareness The Magnitude of the applied voltage combined with the Magnitude and Path of current determine the potential harm caused by an electrical exposure. Electricity is considered hazardous at:    AC volts or greater    DC – 50 volts or greater Higher voltage is NOT necessarily more dangerous than low voltage. The magnitude and pathway of the current, duration of the exposure, and point of contact all influence the effect of electricity on the body. The heart, respiratory centers, and central nervous system are most affected by shock. Current can be perceived as low as 3.5 milliamps DC or 0.7 milliamps AC. Loss of muscular control can occur at currents as low as 41 milliamps DC or 6 milliamps AC.
Employees should not enter areas if they are not aware of the hazards. Employees should note hazard warning labels, signs and stanchions.
Grounding: Current typically stays between two electrodes. If stray current occurs a grounding device closes the loop (capturing the stray current) and safely grounds (diminishes) the current. If the grounding device is removed (i.e. the grounding pole on a plug) and stray current occurs there is no means of diminishing the current. Consequently, if a person using the device touches an item that closes the loop, the current will travel from the device through the person until the current is grounded. Never remove a grounding device for any reason.

5. Evacuation During Emergency Events
Evacuation maps are posted and available for every Teradyne facility.
Employees must know:
What the evacuation alarm sounds like (bell, horn, siren etc.)
How to activate the alarm and report an emergency requiring an evacuation
A primary and secondary exit.
The designated assembly area.
Upon hearing the evacuation alarm, all employees, visitors, and contractors must leave the building.
Stop all meetings, phone conversations, job tasks etc.
Proceed to the nearest exit or alternate exit.
Proceed to the assembly area upon exiting the building.
Do not use the elevator.
Do not stop for personal belongings.
Do not re-enter the building or leave the assembly area until the "all-clear" notification is made.

6. Reporting Injuries and Illness
All work injuries and illnesses must be reported immediately. Why is this important?
    
To provide timely, appropriate care
To prevent injury to someone else by addressing & correcting hazards
To provide opportunity to consult with health services for personal health management
So that job modifications can be implemented to facilitate recovery
Even minor aches should be reported. Why? Delayed treatment generally results in an increase in severity of the injury and subsequently
a longer recovery.
How to Report an Injury
Report the injury, illness or near miss to your supervisor or manager immediately. If unavailable, notify security, first aid team or outside
help. All Teradyne buildings have procedures for reporting emergencies. Many sites have dedicated help lines. All employees should
know the procedures and if applicable, help number, for their site.
Injury Investigation Forms
Injury investigation forms are available from the internal EHS web site. The responsible
supervisor or manager will fill out the top portion and notify the EHS group within 24 hours.
Injury Investigations
The purpose of injury investigation is to prevent further injuries and improve hazard recognition. Investigations must be conducted as
soon as possible (within 24 hours). The injured employee should be included on the investigation team. The team will investigate the
incident to determine root cause and corrective actions. The investigation report will be completed and submitted to EHS group.
Results will be communicated, corrective actions implemented and follow-up conducted to ensure a safe workplace is maintained

7. Access to Medical Records
Employees have the right to access personal exposure and medical records related to their work at Teradyne.
A medical record may include:
Records of medical treatment by an Occupational Health Nurse or physician,
Workers compensation claims information, or
Employee exposure records.
All medical records are kept in a secure location and maintained for the duration of employment plus 30 years.
Whenever a Teradyne employee requests access to a record, Human Resources (or site person responsible for records access) will provide the information within (15) working days.
A copy of the record will be provided at no cost to the employee. Whenever an employee requests information, a physician selected by Teradyne may be asked to review the record and may recommend meeting with the employee for the purpose of discussing the records requested

8. Visitors/Contractors
Visitors include Teradyne Employees Visiting from Other Teradyne Sites and Folks Visiting from Outside Teradyne
Employees from the site are responsible for their visitors at all times while at the facility
The group, department or employee bringing in a visitor from another Teradyne location is responsible for reviewing with them the site specific information including ISO 14001, PPE, Fire and Evacuation, and Medical Emergency Procedures.
Visitors who are not Teradyne employees must be escorted at all times and must wear a visitor badge.
Visitors are not allowed to operate any Teradyne equipment, except under the direction of Teradyne employees in circumstances such as equipment repair, customer acceptances, and applications integration. The contact should review Teradyne's policies and procedures for Lockout/Tagout, Electrical Safe Work Practices.
Visitors must wear personal protective equipment in designated areas.
Children are not allowed on the manufacturing floor, engineering labs or test areas
Contractors
Employees who bring contractors into a Teradyne facility are responsible for ensuring the contractor receives and reviews Teradyne's Contractor Handbook.
Demo Room Guidelines
Employees who bring guests into a Teradyne demo-room are responsible for ensuring the guest receives and reviews Teradyne's
Demo-Room guidelines.
The Visitor Guidelines, Contractor EHS Handbook and Demo-Room Guidelines can be found under EHS Internal Website

9. Ergonomics

10. Chemical Safety
Hazardous materials (chemical products) are found in most work areas. Some of these chemical products pose little danger to you, while others may be harmful. Like machinery or electrical equipment, chemicals must be used safely. The first step in using chemicals safely is to recognize those materials that may be hazardous. The most immediate source of information can be found on labels attached to chemical containers. All containers holding chemicals in Teradyne, even water, must be labeled. Additional information about hazardous materials can be found on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Teradyne maintains MSDSs for all chemicals at each facility. An MSDS provides detailed information about a specific hazardous material or chemical.     Name of Substance     Physical Hazards     Health Hazards     Route of Body Entry     Permissible Exposure Limits     Safe Handling Practices     Personal Protective Equipment     Emergency First Aid Procedures     Special Instructions Chemical Screening
Teradyne has a chemical screening process for any chemical brought into a Teradyne facility for use. Teradyne's EHS Engineers use this screening process to implement proper engineering controls, safe work practices and personal protective equipment to ensure that chemicals are used correctly and safely. Teradyne does ban and restrict certain chemicals and their use. The MSDS Database, Chemical Approval Process, and List of Banned & Restricted Substances can be found on the Internal EHS Website

11. Hazard Communication

12. Purpose of Hazard Communication
Hazard Communication involves the communication of hazards about chemicals to employees, also known as the “Right To Know”
Hazardous materials (chemical products) are found at most Teradyne facilities. Some of these chemical products pose little danger to you, while others may be harmful. The first step in using chemicals safely is to recognize those materials that may be hazardous and knowing where to find information.
Everyone must handle chemicals safely, understand chemical labels, and understand the Safety Data Sheets

13. Hazard communication program
Must be Documented
Teradyne has developed a written Hazard Communication Program.
The program is available to all employees and posted on the internal website:
Includes the specific means of communicating hazards to you about chemicals!

14. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) comes with every chemical purchase.
SDS’s are Maintained Online and can be accessed by going to Teradyne’s internal website under the EHS function:
If you cannot locate the SDS, contact your supervisor or EHS.

15. All Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must have same 16 sections

All Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must have same 16 sections

16. All Chemicals must be labeled
Labels are required on all chemicals.
The label tells you the contents, the hazard associated with the chemical, and what part of your body it affects.
Labels must contain the following information:
Chemical/Product Identification
Signal Word
Hazards of Chemicals
Pictogram
Precautionary Statement

17. Pictograms on Labels describing hazard

18. All containers in work area need labels
If you put a chemical into a new container, label it with information from the original label.
If the container is too small for a label then the information from the original label MUST be posted in the work area at a minimum the product name and hazards
Labels not only protect YOU they Protect Others

23. What to do in an emergency
If a chemical gets into your eye/skin “Flush for 20 minutes”
If you are overcome by a chemical “Move to Fresh Air Immediately” (or move victim to fresh air)
Do not clean up any spills for chemical you do not work with – Report the spill
Do not clean up any spill if you do not know what the chemical is – Report the spill and leave the area
April 2013

24. How do new chemicals get approved
All chemicals must be approved by the EHS group “PRIOR” to being brought into a Teradyne facility
Submit your request and the SDS by to the EHS group and include:
Intended Use
Amount needed
Storage
April 2013

25. Personel Protection Equipment (PPE)
At each Teradyne location, a hazard assessment should be conducted for each non-office task and activity performed. The hazard assessment identifies any hazards that may occur during the activity and the necessary protective equipment, procedures and actions required to ensure employee safety. Supervisors or managers are responsible for reviewing hazard assessments with their employees and for providing the specified PPE. PPE used at Teradyne includes: Safety Glasses – For eye protection from flying debris created by cutting and clipping activities or by operating machinery such as portable power tools or machine shop equipment. Glasses also protect from chemical splashes.
Safety Shoes – For foot protection from dropped objects or moving equipment associated with material handling or forklift and pallet jack operation. Gloves- For hand protection from sharp edges, extreme cold or heat, or chemical contact associated with material handling, assembly, and some test activities. Ear Protectors – For hearing protection against excessive noise.
Fall Protection – To protect individuals working from heights and on ladders

26. Protection of the Environment
Teradyne has established environmental controls at all manufacturing and large field office locations. Certification to the ISO Environmental Management Systems standard has been achieved at several locations. The key elements of these programs are:
Identifying the environmental aspects (waste, energy use, air, water emissions, etc.) of our operations.
Understanding the impact that these aspects have on the environment.
Establishing continuous improvement objectives to better Teradyne’s environmental position. Hazardous Waste Many Teradyne facilities generate hazardous waste streams. Waste defined as Hazardous cannot be disposed of in the regular trash or placed down any drain or sewer connection. Common hazardous waste streams generated at Teradyne include: Lead Debris, Scrap Circuit Boards, Solder Dross/Paste, Expired/Obsolete Chemicals, Waste Oil and Contaminated Rags and Debris and Waste Aerosol Cans. Recycling A key component of Teradyne's environmental management system is recycling. The company recycles computers, monitors, printers, faxes and other electronic devices at facilities audited and approved by the Corporate EHS Group. Teradyne also maintains programs to recycle paper, plastics, and cardboard.
