1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to establish and communicate BorgWarner’s zero-tolerance

towards threats, threatening behavior, or acts of violence conducted by or against
employees or third-parties while on Company property, including its facilities and
parking areas, or while off property and conducting Company business.

2.0 Applicability

This policy is applicable to employees, temporary and contract workers, customers,

suppliers, and visitors of BorgWarner Inc. and to its subsidiaries and affiliates; and will
be enforced consistent with applicable local law and collective bargaining agreements.

3.0 Responsibility

To help maintain a safe workplace, employees are responsible for following the
protocols below if threatening or violent action is witnessed on Company property or
while conducting Company business off property.

• If the issue involves an immediate threat to life or property, the employee

should follow the site emergency notification protocol.
• If an employee witnesses or receives any threats, or if the employee has been
told about a threat a co-worker has witnesses or received, the employee is to
notify his/her Manager and/or Human Resources representative immediately.

It is important that all violence or threats be reported regardless of the relationship

between the individual making the threat or threatening behavior and the person who
was threatened or was the focus of the threatening behavior (e.g., husband and wife,
two co-workers, supervisor and employee, employee and vendor). Employees with
knowledge of a violation or suspected violation of this policy are required to promptly
report the information to their Manager and/or Human Resources representative. The
manager and/or Human Resources representatives are to report violation of this policy
to the Critical Event Management Team at +1-248-254-6441.

not required for one’s job, explosive materials, chemicals, and dangerous objects that

of any protective /restraining order that is made permanent. Human Resources

including termination of employment. Temporary and contract workers, customers,
