BEST CREW IN THE BIZ. (IT'S NOT BRAGGING IF IT'S TRUE.)

WELL, THAT WAS FUN. Is it weird to thank people for coming to a mandatory work party? Maybe. We don't care. THANK YOU for showing up. We had a great time on August 29th, and we hope you did, too.

Part annual meeting, part celebration, this event was an opportunity to share information, like new benefits and employee support systems, and build consensus for a renewed focus on safety.

AND t o play cor n h ole.

Safety is priority one at Carey, and we're getting pretty loud about it. In addition to this months' feature topic, each issue of SPARK will highlight standards and practices that ensure everyone goes home safe, every day.

We'll also be launching a new website soon. The old site was... fine. But the new site better represents the culture of Carey and what it's like to with work with us, as clients, project partners, and employees. We'll let you know when it's launched.

Lastly, be sure to check the 'back cover ' of this issue for ways to suggest future SPARK topics. We're all ears (or eyes- you get it).

ONE FOR THE KIPPSTERS

We're pretty jealous of the students that will get to call this campus home. It's a kickass approach to modern educational facilities and we are here. for. it.

KIPP Capital High School will be the newest addition to the KIPP Tech Valley Primary and Middle School campus. At a whopping $35M, this one got funded fast. And it will be done fast, too. Work starts * yesterday* and students will be in desks August 2025. With flex spaces, support suites and innovative tech integrations (aka all the literal bells and whistles), this one's a show-stopper.

Almost makes us wish we were back in school. Alm ost .

WE HAVE YOUR BACK. OUR SAFETY COM M ITM ENT, RIGHT HERE, IN BLACK AND WHITE.

If you are ever asked, pressured, or forced to do something unsafe or against Carey Electric safety protocols on a job site, stop work.

Just stop. Whether it's a coworker, a site manager, or another trade, stop.

Refuse the ask. Then tell your supervisor. We will 100% back your decision to choose safety over speed, shortcuts, or circumstance.

You can screenshot and show this page for proof.

If you h ave qu est ion s, don't w ait . Speak w it h you r su per visor .

P R O C ED U R E R EF R ESH :

LOCKOUT/ TAGOUT Th e pr ot ocols (at r igh t ) ar e t h e st an dar d LO/ TO pr ocedu r e on all Car ey Elect r ic job sit es.

To request an electronic version of this safety procedure document, or any of the safety documentation you read and signed upon hire, please reach out to k car ey @car ey el ect r i ci n c.com . As always, if you have questions or require clarification, please talk to your supervisor.

In su m m ar y an d as a m in im u m , Car ey Elect r ic's Lock ou t / Tagou t pr ocedu r e r equ ir es t h e f ollow in g elem en t s: 1. Whenever LO/TO is required, the appropriate personnel will be provided with a lock or tag with the individual's name and other necessary information and/or identification on it. Each lock will only have one key.

2. The worker shall check to be sure that no one is operating the machinery BEFORE turning off the power. The machine operator shall be informed before the power is turned off. Sudden loss of power could cause an accident.

3. Each person who will be working on the machinery shall put a lock on the machine's lockout device(s). Each lock shall remain on the machine until that worker 's work is complete.

4. All energy sources that could activate the machine shall be locked out (blocked/ tagged).

5. The main valve or main electrical disconnect shall be tested to be sure that the power to the machine is off.

6. Electrical circuits shall be checked with proper and calibrated electrical testing equipment. An electrical failure could energize the equipment even if the switch is in the off position. Stored energy in electrical capacitors shall be safely discharged.

7. When working on machinery such as power presses and welding presses that have a ram that could fall, the ram shall be supported with safety blocks or pins. Fully interlocked safety blocks are the safest.
