Dear White Knight Employee,
This policy concerns a certain activity that can potentially damage the well being of fellow co-workers and the company
as a whole. This is a safeguard to protect our winning culture and most importantly to protect every employee we care so
much about.
GOSSIP: When gossip occurs, the persons involved idly discuss someone’s weaknesses or problems when that person is
not present. Gossip harms not only those who are being talked about, but also those who gossip and those who listen. To
discern when gossip occurs:
In the dictionary, gossip is defined as: idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others.
Trivial, chatty talk or writing.
Gossip is something that we choose to do or not do, and is entered by choice either through verbal communications or
electronic communications. At White Knight Pest Control, this type of activity in the workplace cannot and will not be
tolerated. It is a productivity killer and can hurt not only the gossiper and the gossipee, but the entire company!
Appropriate measures will be taken if any activity of this type is observed and reported by any employee of the company.
When put in the situation, have the courage, integrity, and the loyalty to not be involved, or stop the negative conversation
all together. Strive to cultivate a team oriented environment which we all desire and deserve. This is the only way we can
be successful and reach our greatest potential! In order to have a teamwork environment and gossip free workplace the
following must be observed:
1. DO not speak or insinuate another person’s name when that person is not present unless it is to compliment or
reference regarding work matters.
2. Refuse to participate when another mentions a person who is not present in a negative light. Change the subject
or tell them you have agreed not to talk about another.
3. Choose not to respond to negative email, texts, messaging or use electronic means to pass on private or
derogatory information about any person in the company.
4. While off the job, do not speak to another co-worker about people at work in a derogatory light. If you have
feelings, select to talk to someone not at the workplace.
5. If another person in the workplace does something unethical, incorrect, against procedures, or disruptive use
the proper channels to report this to the person in authority to take corrective action.
6. Work hard, strive to gain respect from others, and be a professional and expect the same from others.
7. Do not share personal information in the workplace you do not want everyone to know.
By doing these things, there is no doubt we will have a better and more enjoyable work environment; thereby taking steps
to creating a successful career and company. We hope it is clear to everyone that it is our ultimate goal to help each and
every one of our employees to enjoy what they do, to do it to the best of their ability, and most importantly, to create
financial stability in order to support their families. We consider everyone within the company members of the White
Knight Family. And as family, we must respect and gain the respect of those we work so closely with. We appreciate all
that you do and continue to do to cultivate a winning culture!
Introductory statement:
This manual is designed to be a guide to all technicians to help them understand White Knight Pest
Control’s treatment methods and policies. You should read, understand, and comply with all provisions
of the manual.
No Handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about every one of our policies. Further,
there may be situations where the need arises for us to revise, add, or cancel policies. Therefore, White
Knight Pest Control reserves the right to add new policies and to change or cancel existing policies at
any time. White Knight Pest Control also has the right to interpret all policies and programs, and to
make departures from these policies on a case-by-case basis as circumstances warrant. We will notify
you of any changes to the manual as they occur.
Any abuse of a policy contained herein may result in a write up, fine, or dismissal

Each employee is responsible for following all state, local and federal laws as pertaining to pest control.
As a licensed apprentice, technician, or certified applicator, you are liable for the proper handling of
pesticides and any treatments you provide to the customer according to the Structural Pest Control
Service of Texas. Remember to apply pesticides according to the label and to keep the products locked
and stored properly on your truck. Avoid write ups, fines and termination by simply obeying the law. If
any technician fails to follow these laws, it can result in being written up, fined or dismissed. Please
remember to obey the law. By following the policies and guidelines of this manual, you will find
success and enjoy your job as a pest control applicator with White Knight Pest!
Appearance/Uniforms
We take pride in our company image! As a White Knight technician, you will be required to comply to
the dress code and grooming policies we hold.
Uniforms: Uniforms will be on a rental basis from a uniform rental company. These rentals will be
paid for by the technician (including set-up fees: name badge, company logo, etc.) and will be deducted
from the technician’s paycheck every pay roll. The uniform company will provide 13 sets of uniforms
(pants and shirts). Uniforms will be picked up for cleaning in the mornings at 7:10am on a date
designated by your manager, so please bring your worn uniforms that day. You will have the remaining
7 sets of uniforms to last until the following week. The cost of renting uniforms is minimal compared to
the benefits each technician receives. (cost of rental will change from year to year due to inflation.
Please inquire with your manager) If any damage is made on any piece of your uniform and the uniform
rental company cannot repair it, you will be responsible for replacing that piece of garment. If at any
time your employment is terminated, you will be responsible for all charges for uniforms not returned.
Grooming: A White Knight technician should look professional and neatly groomed. This includes a
clean shave and an appropriate hair cut (please ask the service manager what is to be expected). It is
important to know that coming into the office without proper appearance and grooming will result in
your route being taken away until the Service Manager deems your appearance appropriate for work. If
Initial: __________
4
a technician does not work that day due to non-compliance with the dress and appearance standards, 1 of
their 5 emergency days will be used and they will not be paid for the day. We hope you feel the
importance of maintaining a professional appearance and that you will encourage and promote this by
being an example to other team members.
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in or within 25’ of company trucks or the offices. Do not smoke while at a
customer’s home, whether it is in front of the home near the truck or while treating. Smoke only away
from the homes (such as at a convenience store, park or restaurant). You will be fined a minimum of
$100 for violating this policy and are responsible for any additional costs for repairing any damages
from the smoking such as odors, burns, etc.
Sleeping
Sleeping is not encouraged while on the job as technicians may oversleep or may be seen sleeping while
on the job. This looks unprofessional. However, if you have time and want to rest, please do so outside
the community or are in which you are providing services.
Sickness
Times when you are ill, please call the manager before 7:00 in the morning. On rare occasions you may
be needed to complete your route when you are undergoing fever and cold-type sicknesses. (Also see
company sick policy)
Cell Phones
The company provides a cell phone reimbursement benefit for each technician in the amount of $25 per
payroll. By doing so, it is required that the technician keeps their cell phone activated at all times
because it will be the main lines of communication for work. White Knight Pest Control is not liable for
any overages incurred. If your personal phone is lost or damaged, you will need to replace it
immediately in order to maintain smooth work operations. At any time your cell phone has been
deactivated for any reason or the office cannot communicate with you during any day of the pay period,
you will not be reimbursed for that pay period. Your cell phone reimbursement will commence the
following pay period once your cell phone is in proper working order.
Mapsco
Each truck should contain a current Mapsco. Mapscos are essential for completing your route so please
be sure to have one in the truck before leaving the office. If you come across a road not listed in the
Mapsco, you can call the customer and get directions, call the office to see if there are any special
directions in the computer, or call Mapsco and ask them where the street is. Remember, you are
responsible for the Mapsco assigned to your truck. When the Mapsco is not in use, please close it to
prevent damage to its pages. A good way to hold a page for quick access to the page is to use a
paperclip. Through out the year the Mapsco gets a lot of wear and tear. Please do your best to take care
of it.

Sources of Information
There are a few important source items that you should carry with you at all times when on a route.
These items include:
1. A price list with the different price brackets for each program
2. A list of phone numbers for every White Knight employee
3. A folder with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Arrival Time
You should arrive to the office by 7:15 A.M. Times when you are running behind, please call and
inform the manager. You are allowed 2 tardies. The third tardy (and subsequent times each month)
White Knight Pest Control has the option to penalize you. These options include but are not limited to:
Losing the privilege of taking a truck home
Being placed on shorter routes for a week
Suspension
Note that if you are 30 or more minutes late to your first stop, truck privileges may be withdrawn from
you. If you are late past 10:00 am and neglect to inform the manager or simply do not show up, your
employment with White Knight Pest Control will be terminated.
If you are given the privilege to print your routes out from home and not required to come into the
office, you must leave your house or place of residence by 7:45am. The time you leave will be checked
daily via GPS by the service manager. Leaving after 7:45am is considered a tardy. You are allowed 2
tardies. The third tardy (and subsequent times each month) you will be penalized. These options include
but are not limited to:
Losing the privilege of taking a truck home
Being placed on shorter routes for a week
Suspension
Losing the privilege to print route from home
Training Meetings
There is a mandatory technician’s meeting for all technicians each week held on Tuesdays unless
informed otherwise. All technicians must be present at these meetings. The meeting starts at 7:15 AM.
Be on time! Be sure to sign in on the sign in sheet to receive credit for required Training Verification
topics by the Structural Pest Control Service that may be covered in the meeting. The meeting will
consist of announcements and important training topics to help better you as a technician. During this
Initial: __________

meeting, you will be given opportunities to ask any questions you may have. Being late to these
meetings will penalize you. (Please see Tardy/Arrival Time policy)
Route Slip
When you arrive in the morning the routes will be distributed with your name on it. After receiving
your route, fill out a route sheet and make a copy of it for the office staff. In the appropriate spaces,
write down the name, map code, time block, and city. There is a legend at the bottom of the route slip
you can reference to on how to fill out the route slip. If you have the privilege of printing your routes
from home, you must email your route sheet to the office and your service manager every morning.
Products
It is extremely important to restock your truck with the proper products to treat each home on your
route. Every morning look into your product box to see what you are low on and what you have run out
of. After all your paperwork is done in the morning go to the service or branch manager to check out
any product you might need. You must fill out a pick sheet and give it to the service manager to receive
product. Make sure whoever is distributing products actually hand you the products you need.
(PLEASE DO NOT GET PRODUCTS YOURSELF). In each truck there is a spill kit which consists of
a hand brush and broom, a trash bag, and some cat litter. In case of a spill, sprinkle some of the cat litter
on the spill then just sweep it up into the trash bag. If by any chance something larger than 4 gallons is
spilled you have to call and let the service manager know. He then has to report it to a state agency for
safety means. For any product that is in a large container that could be used to store liquids you need to
dispose of it in a certain way. First, triple-rinse the container, then puncture it twice and throw it away
in the garbage can at the office.
Dogs
In instances you encounter dogs, make note of it on the invoice if it has not already been noted. Make a
good judgment whether it is safe or not to spray. Sweeping the eaves with the Webster will help with
preventing any harm done to you by a dog because you will be able to use it to defend aggressive pets.
Many times dogs are more intimidating than dangerous. But please don’t put your self at risk. It is the
responsibility of the customer to make sure their pets are taken care of. Remind the customer to allow
30 minutes for products to dry before allowing their pets to go back outside.
Samples
There may be times when you come across a pest you can’t identify. In this instance, do your best to put
the pest in a zip lock bag and bring it back to the office for identification. You should always carry zip
lock bags in your truck for this purpose. When you get back to the office with the sample get a Pest I.D.
Form and fill it out completely. Make sure you note the specific location where you found the pest and
that you leave the Sample Identified, Call Back, and Special Treatment sections blank for the manager
to fill out.
Initial: __________

Rain
We provide wet weather treatments on days it is raining using certain products. Each truck should
contain a full body rain suit for treatment in the rain. In the case of a classic Texas thunderstorm, wait a
few minutes before treating. During these storms there is a good possibility the weather will clear and
treatment can resume. If the weather does not permit the treatment to continue, call the manager. Please
do not cancel or reschedule a treatment unless authorized by a manager.
Initial: __________
8
Reschedules
You should do everything possible to complete a treatment. Times when customers need to reschedule
an appointment, call the office while you are at the door to see what times are available. DO NOT
RESCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT WITHOUT CALLING THE OFFICE FIRST. If customers
have previous balances in excess of 2 treatments (Code Red), collect the payment before treating. If
you’re unable to collect the payment, call the office with the customer present. If you get to a customer
who has a Code Red and no one is home, do not treat. If for some reason you did not treat a customer’s
home (falling behind, getting dark, etc.) and they cancel because you did not follow the proper
procedures for rescheduling a treatment and letting your manager know ahead of time, a fine in the
amount of $100 will be issued and a written warning will also be issued.
Inspection Schedule
It is extremely important to inspect your truck regularly. You are responsible for the cleanliness in/out,
tire pressure, fluids, oil changes, and general conditions of your truck. You should do a maintenance
check on your truck at least once a week. If you need help with any maintenance issues with the truck,
please let a manager know and fill out a maintenance request form. There will be at least one
maintenance meeting a month to insure trucks are working properly and kept clean.
gallons. When the level of product drops below 10 gallons, the diaphragm of the rig begins working
harder and is at risk of being damaged. The pressure (psi) setting on the rig should never exceed 100psi.
This is the biggest cause of diaphragm damage to the rig. When there are exessive reoccurances of your
rig breaking down, the manager will assess the issue and may deem it as a result of equipment abuse and
you will be responsible for repairs in the amount deemed appropriate by your manager.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
Exterior
The exterior treatment is the main treatment provided to our customers. Most exterior treatments will
take care of any pest issues occurring on the interior if you find the source of how and where the pests
are getting in (e.g. ants). In general, the places that need to be treated are the foundation, entry points,
and any cracks or crevices. To accomplish this we treat in several areas. 1) First use the Webster and
sweep the eaves of any wasp’s nests or webs you see. When sweeping the eaves, you should inspect at
the same time. 2) Granulate yard and inspect for and treat ant mounds. 3) When treating, we treat
around the entire foundation. When using the power sprayer, Pin Spray once horizontally right where
the ground and the foundation meet, then go over it vertically spraying 3 feet onto the house and 10-12
feet away from the house (where possible). 4) Treat the lower eaves because there are cracks where the
wall of the home and the roof meet. 5) All the expansion joints need to be treated and do it slowly so
that the products can run down into the cracks. 6) Treat the inside perimeter of the back fence on every
home to slow down any migrating insects. If the yard is so large the hose won’t reach the back, go as
far as you can reach and spray a line in the ground. 7) Treat all landscaping within 10 feet of the home
in addition to the regular perimeter treatment. 8) Inspect and Spot treat any ant mounds in the yard.
Interior
The interior treatment is a free, complimentary treatment to all of our customers on a service plan and is
provided on an as needed basis only (We treat the interior on all Initials unless specified otherwise by
customer). On a general interior treatment, treat baseboards (upstairs, downstairs, utility rooms, pantry,
etc.), corners, plumbing pipes under sinks and the garage. Please use good judgment in treating areas
where product may come into contact with the customer’s personal belongings. For example, many
times customers will place bath towels, toilet paper and toothbrushes under bathroom sinks, or toys and
clothing may rest along the baseboards.
Using common sense and your knowledge and skills as a technician will provide a great and effective
treatment and, as a result, will make the customer happy!
***WARNING***
If a technician is caught, or reported, not performing the full scope of service, they will be heavily
penalized. Not performing the full scope of service is being dishonest to both the customer and the
company. This major infraction will lead to a $100 fine placed on the responsible tech, and termination
of employment.
PAPERWORK
Corrections
If any information on the paper work you come across is wrong or missing, please update the right
information by asking the customer or looking it up. On the copy of the paperwork that the office keeps,
make the correction, mark it in a way that will stand out when they look at it (high lighter), and put your
initials by it.
Initial: __________
10
Initials
On initials the paperwork we do is a little different. In the occasion that a customer was signed up by a
sales rep, the sales rep will have left the customer with the agreement. When introducing yourself to the
customer, ask for the copies of the agreement (there should be a white copy and a yellow copy attached
together). If the customer does not have an agreement, please fill one out completely using the
information on the service ticket. Please review the agreement with the customer and make certain
everything is filled out and signed correctly and completely before treating. Before treating there are a
few things to remember and explain. 1) It is our policy to collect payment for the first treatment before
treating. If for some reason they are unable to pay call the office and have it approved with a manager.
If they are paying with a credit card be sure to obtain all the information and ask if they want us to bill
this treatment only or if they would like to have their payments applied automatically after each
treatment. If they want to sign up on our EZpay program be sure they sign the agreement under the
payment section to give us authorization; 2) provide the customer with a copy of the agreement (yellow
copy); 3) provide the customer with a Welcome Packet and explain that everything concerning their
treatment and our company is enclosed. Direct them to our website for more information; 4) remind the
customer that if they have any questions not to hesitate to contact us and show them our contact
information.
When you are finished treating, fill out the name, address, date, and payment sections along with all the
products you used on a service ticket. Provide the customer with a copy of the service ticket and explain
in detail what services you performed and what pests you noticed and extend an invitation for any
questions they may have. There are crucial points that are important to mention to each customer:
1) Due to the flush out treatment (Initial) they may see more pests for the first couple of weeks, to see an
occasional pest is normal, and that if they do not notice a decrease after those two weeks, they can give
us a call;
2) Explain our Service Guarantee. We will return within 2 business days for free whenever needed.
3) Explain thoroughly that because we live in Texas, to see occasional pest is normal;
4) Explain that they will receive a call 1-2 days in advance for their regular treatments;
5) This may be the most important…remember to thank them for their business!
Payments
Be sure to ask the customer for a payment. After receiving a payment, make note of what type of
payment was made (cash, check, credit card) and amount on the invoice. When a customer pays you in
cash, put it in an envelope, write the customers name and account number, the amount, initial or route,
seal it, and turn it in with your paperwork. If cash is lost and there are no record of it on the route sheet,
service ticket, or envelope, the technician will be held responsible. If they give you a check write the
amount and number on the invoice, paperclip it to the invoice and turn it in. When they use a credit card
write down the number, expiration date and 3 digit code on the back of the card. Make sure the address
we have is the address on the credit card and that the name on the credit card is the exact name on the
account. If either of those is different then write it down on the invoice you turn in with your
paperwork.
section write what type of treatment you did along with any extra items you may have noticed or
completed. In the bottom half fill out the materials used. In the materials used portion, fill out the area
where you used the product, the percentage, and the amount. Remember to always include a target pest
on the invoice.
Paychecks
Paydays are twice a month. Paychecks will be disbursed on the 15th and again on the last day of the
month. If you’re done with your route and are in the area you can stop by and see if we have received
your check. If it is not here, it will be put in your box the next morning. Direct Deposit is also available.
Pay Periods are from the 10th-24th, and 25th – 9th of each month. (Please keep your compensation
confidential! Sharing of compensation with other employees will result in disciplinary action.)
Licensing
White Knight Pest Control will pay for your Apprentice License. If your employment is terminated for
any reason within the first 12 months of your hire date, the amount paid for licensing will be deducted
from your last pay check. Further licensing will be available if you meet the requirements to progress.
Technician and Certified Applicator licenses and exams will be paid for as long as you pass the test. If
you fail the test, you will be deducted the costs for classes and exams.
Concerns
If you have any concerns about the routes, scheduling, days off, or anything else let your manager know.

Holidays
White Knight Pest Control gives holiday time off to all employees on the following holidays:
Vacation Benefits
White Knight Pest Control offers vacation time off with pay to eligible employees for rest,
relaxation, and personal pursuits. Employees in the following employment classifications are
eligible to earn and use vacation:
The amount of paid vacation time you receive each year increases with the length of your
employment as shown in the following schedule:
*Upon initial eligibility the employee is entitled to 5 vacation days each year, accrued
monthly at the rate of 0.417 days.
*After 1 year of eligible service the employee is entitled to 5 vacation days each year, accrued
monthly at the rate of 0.417 days.
*After 2 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 10 vacation days each year,
accrued monthly at the rate of 0.833 days.
*After 4 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 15 vacation days each year,
accrued monthly at the rate of 1.25 days.
*After 9 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 20 vacation days each year,
accrued monthly at the rate of 1.667 days.
The length of eligible service is calculated on the basis of a "benefit year." A "benefit year" is
defined as the 12-month period that begins when you start earning vacation time. The benefit year
begins on January 1, and ends on December 31. Thus, the year you begin employment counts as
your first year, and on January 1, your second year begins. Your benefit year may be extended
for any significant leave of absence except military leave of absence. (Military leave has no effect
on the benefit year calculation.) See the leave of absence policies in this Employee Handbook for
more information.
Once you enter an eligible employment classification, you begin to earn paid vacation time
according to the schedule in this policy. However, before you may use vacation time, you must
complete a waiting period of 90 calendar days. After the waiting period, you may request to use
earned vacation time including vacation time that accrued during the waiting period.

Initial _______
Effective Date: 10/01/2006
Revision Date: 01/10/2014
You may use vacation time in minimum increments of one day. To schedule vacation time, you
should first request advance approval from your supervisor. Please go to Shiftplanning.com to
request vacation time off. Each request will be reviewed based on a number of factors, including
our business needs and staffing requirements.
The amount of your paid Vacation is calculated using your average commission of the previous
six pay periods divided by the amount of working days in the pay period (Saturdays count as
working days). It does not include overtime or any special forms of compensation such as
incentives, commissions, bonuses, or shift differentials.
We encourage you to use your available paid vacation time for rest, relaxation, and personal
pursuits. In the event that you do not use your available vacation by the end of the benefit year,
you will not be paid for the unused time. That will take your earned vacation time back to zero
and your vacation time accruals will resume in the next benefit year.
If your employment terminates, you will be paid for any unused vacation time that has been
earned through your last day of work. However, if White Knight Pest Control, in its sole
discretion, terminates your employment for cause, your unused vacation time may be forfeited.
If vacation is used before it is accrued and employment terminates, then the employee must pay
back the unearned vacation pay. White Knight Pest Control reserves the right to withhold
unearned vacation pay upon the last paycheck of employment.
Sick Leave
If you are unable to report to work due to illness or injury, you should notify your supervisor
before the scheduled start of your workday if possible. Your supervisor must also be contacted on
each additional day of absence. White Knight understands that there are times when employees
are sick and unable to work and need time off to recuperate. This is the reason we provide sick
days. Each technician will have 5 unpaid sick days per year. Sick days are to be used only for
days you are sick and for no other reason, and these five sick days should not be abused. Anytime
these days get abused, it causes additional stress on all other employees. When possible, we ask
that if you know you may be sick to let us know a day in advance to prepare for your absence.
Therefore, if an employee has more than five combined sick or emergency days within each year
mark of their employment with less than 18 hours notice to their supervisor, then it is grounds
for termination (see Emergency Days below).
If you are absent for three or more consecutive days due to illness or injury, a physician's
statement must be provided verifying the disability or illness and its beginning and expected
ending dates. The same verification may be requested for other sick leave absences as well and
may be required as a condition of receiving sick leave benefits.

At White Knight, we understand how important time off is to each of our employees. In addition
to holidays and Sundays, there may be times when you need additional days off to take care of
personal business.
Technicians
Full-Time technicians generally work a 6 day week, therefore it is necessary to allow technicians
to coordinate with management additional days off during the month.
All Full-Time commission based technicians may request off 2 days per month (in addition to
company days off) upon approval from the branch and office manager. Technicians should
request days off at least one week prior to the beginning of the next month to be able to
accommodate the days off when scheduling. For example, if a technician wants to schedule time
off for February 10th and 17th, he/she must submit a request by January 25th. Scheduling is based
on a first come first serve basis. If other technicians have already requested off on the days you
are trying to request, you may be denied the days off and asked to select another day. Start
Technicians MUST get approval from the Sales Manager AND the Service Manager.
Sick Days count against the two available days off during the month. Therefore, if a technician
calls in sick for one day, then they would be eligible for one additional day off during the month.
The 2 days of time off in the month is for personal time or sick time.
If at any time the position of any employee changes, the appropriate sick leave benefits
for that position will be applied.
*All time off requests must be approved by using the online Shift Planner at
www.shiftplanning.com. This is the only method in which an employee will be approved.
Emergency Days
All Employees are allowed 5 Emergency Days. Emergency days are any days when an
employee is absent from work without an 18 hour notice. Each employee is allowed five
emergency days within the benefit year (January 1st – December 31st). In the event that
all five emergency days are used within the year, their employment will be reviewed for
termination. Emergency Days are for disciplinary measures and should not be looked
at as a benefit.
Tardy/Late Arrivals
It is imperative that every employee arrive to work on time. You should arrive by
7:15am on your scheduled day of work (unless you have made special accommodations
with your service manager). If you arrive a minute after your scheduled time you will be
considered tardy. Three tardies within a month equal one Emergency Day. By the first
of each month, tardies will begin at zero. If you are late fifteen minutes or more, you are
considered late. Two late arrivals in a month equal one Emergency Day. If you know
you will be late on a given day, please schedule at least one day ahead of time to avoid a
tardy/late arrival (with Supervisor approval).

Beyond acquiring basic car control skills -- and exercising good judgment behind the wheel -- there are a few
basic rules for safe driving that employees driving company vehicles should know -- and follow:
Don't tailgate: Crowding the car ahead of you makes it more likely you'll smash into it if the driver should
suddenly brake. Modern safety devices such as anti-lock brakes and traction control don't trump physics.
Obey the three second rule: Every driver should know and heed the three second rule: When the vehicle ahead
of you passes a fixed object (such as a tree or telephone pole) slowly count "one thousand, two one thousand,
three one thousand." If you reach the object before completing the count, you're following too closely. Double
your following distance (to six seconds) in poor weather.
Use turn signals: Failing to signal your intentions to other motorists is always dangerous -- as well as
discourteous. Other motorists are not psychic; they can't guess that you are planning on making a right turn -- or
about to move into the next lane. Signaling is especially important for the safety of motorcyclists, bicyclists and
pedestrians, too. If they are in your blind spot and you just assume no one's there and execute a maneuver
without signaling first, these folks will get no advance warning -- and will suffer the most if you strike them.
Don't impede the flow of traffic: Driving too slowly can be more dangerous than driving a little faster than the
posted limit. In a high-density situation, with many others vehicles sharing the road, a dawdler creates what
amounts to a rolling roadblock. Traffic snarls; motorists jockey for position -- the smooth flow of cars is
interrupted. Try to drive with the flow of traffic -- and if the car behind you clearly wishes to go faster, the best
thing to do is let it get by, whether you are "doing the limit" already or not. The other driver may have an
emergency you are unaware of -- and in any event, it is simply safer and more courteous to yield to faster-
moving traffic. Leave enforcement of speed limits to the police.
Maintain appropriate speed: Speed, as such, doesn't kill. If it did, airliners traveling at 500 mph would have
the highest accident/fatality rates of any form of transportation. But air travel is in fact much safer than driving -
- and few cars travel at 500 mph. The problem is inappropriate speed. For example, while it may be perfectly
legal to drive 65 mph on the highway, if you don't slow down when it's raining heavily (or snowing) and your
visibility as well as your car's stopping ability are reduced -- you increase your chances of having an accident.
Use your judgment and adjust speed to match conditions and your comfort
Plan ahead/use your mirrors: Anticipate the need to brake or make lane changes, etc. by constantly scanning
your driving environment and watching the actions of other drivers, pedestrians and so on. This way, it's less
likely you'll need to jam on the brakes -- or make sudden steering changes -- to avoid problems. The best drivers
always maintain "situational awareness" -- where other cars are in relation to their vehicle, what's coming up
ahead -- and what's happening on either side of them and behind them. Use your mirrors -- frequently.
Drive within your limits, the limits set by conditions and the limits of your vehicle: Company trucks are not
equipped for racing or for off road usage. Each vehicle is loaded with 50 gallon tank with gas or electric
powered pumps for the sole purpose of commuting and providing pest control. Be sure to have enough space
for stopping, especially during difficult weather conditions. Know what the vehicle is capable of doing. You'll
need more time to slow down safely; don't drive faster than you, or the vehicle, can drive safely, with ample
"cushion" of time and space to make corrections and react to changing conditions and other motorists.

1. AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
As traffic congestion continues to grow, motorists commuting to and from work and traveling for business
purposes often find themselves caught up in bottlenecks and significant delays, wasting time and reducing their
productivity. This situation creates a high level of frustration and can spark aggressive driving among these
overwhelmed drivers. To protect against aggressive driving, remember that your primary responsibility is to
drive focused and stay safe.
A major reason for increased traffic congestion is that our highway system has not kept pace with the
growing demands placed on it. Since 1970, the number of drivers increased by 64% while the roadway
system increased by only 6%.
Many Americans believe aggressive driving is on the rise and worry about the behavior of other drivers
but admit to engaging in aggressive driving themselves.
A substantial number of the 6.8 million crashes that occur each year are estimated to be caused by
aggressive driving.
Overly frustrated drivers are turning their cars into extensions of their homes and offices, creating a
dangerous distraction on the road that fuels aggressive driving among other drivers.
Correct your own unsafe driving habits that are likely to endanger, antagonize or provoke other drivers.
Keep your cool in traffic; be patient and courteous to other drivers and don't take their actions
personally.
If you think you have a problem, seek help. Look for anger or stress management classes or self-help
books.
Reduce your stress on the road by allowing plenty of time to reach your destination, plan your route in
advance and alter your schedule or route to avoid busy roads.
If despite all your planning, you're going to arrive late, accept it and avoid aggressive driving.
Make every attempt to safely move out of an aggressive driver's way. If a hostile motorist tries to pick a
fight, do not make eye contact and do not respond. Ignore gestures and refuse to return them.
Report aggressive driving to the police. Provide a vehicle description, license number, location and the
direction of travel.

2. DISTRACTED DRIVING
Longer commutes, an increase in heavy traffic, the availability of in-vehicle technology are all factors that result
in driver distraction. More time in your vehicle results in less time at home or on the job, causing drivers to feel
the pressure to multi-task to keep up with their responsibilities. Countless distractions tempt drivers to forget
that their primary responsibility is to drive focused and stay safe.
Distracted driving is estimated to be a factor in between 25 to 30% of all traffic crashes—that's 4,000 or
more crashes a day.
Events inside and outside the vehicle can distract a driver. Adverse roadway and weather conditions
require a driver's full attention.
While taking one's eyes off the road presents obvious risks, activities that take a driver's mind away
from driving are just as risky.
A driver's ability to manage distractions varies widely and can change from day-to-day depending on
their level of stress and fatigue.
Distracted drivers fail to recognize potential hazards in the road and react more slowly to traffic
conditions, decreasing their margin of safety."
Research suggests that distracted driving increases the risk of rear-end and single-vehicle crashes.
Has a passenger in your car screamed or gasped because of something you did or did not do?
Have you slammed on your brakes because you didn't see the car in front of you stop?
Safe driving practices require that you constantly search the roadway ahead for situations that could
require you to take quick action.

3. DROWSY DRIVING
As a driver, your number one responsibility is to get yourself and your passengers to your destination safely.
When behind the wheel, you always need to be alert and focused. At 55 mph, a vehicle travels the length of a
football field in 3.7 seconds. This is no time for a "mini" snooze. Being an attentive driver, and looking out for
the driver who isn't, is increasingly important. Drive focused. Stay safe.
Drowsy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes each year, resulting in 40,000 injuries and 1,550
deaths.
Crashes caused by drowsy driving are often serious crashes and occur most often on high-speed rural
highways when the driver is alone.
Drowsy driving can happen to anyone. A recent National Sleep Foundation study revealed that one half
(51%) of adults have driven while drowsy and 17% report having fallen asleep while driving within the
past year.
Be aware of your behavior and the behavior of others on the road during the late night, early morning
and mid-afternoon hours when drowsy driving crashes are most likely to occur. Plan a rest stop during
these hours.
Get a full night of rest before driving. If you become tired while driving, stop. A short nap and
consuming caffeine can help temporarily.
Stop at regular intervals when driving long distances. Get out of the car every 2 hours to stretch and
walk briskly.
Set a realistic goal for the number of miles you can safely drive each day.

4. IMPAIRED DRIVING
On our congested roadways, it's more important than ever to drive with a clear head and a sharp focus. Make it
a life-governing rule not to drive when you've had too much to drink. On average, a driver makes over 200
decisions per mile, so it's critical that a driver make the decision to drive alert before getting behind the wheel.
Not only will you be a safer driver but you will be in a much better position to defend yourself from the driver
who doesn't make that choice. Drive focused. Stay safe.
About three in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their
lives.
Research shows that alcohol is a contributing factor in 39% of all work-related traffic crashes.
Nearly 1.5 million people are arrested each year for driving while intoxicated (DWI). Two-thirds of all
drivers arrested for DWI are first time offenders.
A DWI/DUI conviction on a person's driving record may prevent them from getting a job, receiving a
promotion or even result in a job loss.
Many companies have corrective action programs that suspend company driving privileges for a
DWI/DUI violation.
Nine out of 10 insurance companies automatically cancel the policy of a driver convicted of a DWI/DUI
violation. Consequently, the driver must find a high-risk insurance company and face substantial rate
increases.

use or influence by employees while on duty. If alcohol use or impairment is
suspected, an employee should be treated in the same fashion as other employees
subject to for-cause investigations.

relevant information. Applicants and employees will have the right to provide the
MRO with any information the applicant or employee believes may affect the
outcome of the test.

by the Company, with distribution limited to those having a “need to know.”

condition of the person tested or any other information if the disclosure is prohibited
