8  Safety Committee: All Safety Events are discussed as well as any activities that have been put in place to prevent future occurrences. Facility inspections and any hazards identified are also discussed. This committee’s members include the Safety/Training Manager (chair), at least one Dispatch/Supervisor and one or more of the Transit Operators and Mechanics.  All-Employee Safety Meetings: A permanent agenda item in monthly All- Employee Safety Meetings is dedicated to safety. Safety issues are discussed and documented. Hazard reports and mitigations will be shared, safety topics will be brought up for open discussion, further feedback solicited, and hazard self-reporting further encouraged. Employee Safety Reporting Program (ESRP) OCPT is committed to the safest transit operating standards possible. To achieve this, it is imperative that OCPT have uninhibited reporting of all incidents and occurrences which may compromise the safe conduct of our operations. To this end, every employee is responsible for the communication of any information that may affect the integrity of transit safety. OCPT encourages employees who identify safety concerns in their day-to-day duties and to report them to senior management in good faith without fear of retribution. OCPT encourages participation in the ESRP by protecting employees that report safety conditions in good faith. However, OCPT may take disciplinary action if the safety report received by OCPT is from a source other than the employee, or involves an illegal act, gross negligence, or a deliberate or willful disregard of promulgated regulations or procedures. There are many ways employees can report safety conditions:  Report conditions directly to the dispatcher, who will add them to the daily Operations Log.  Report conditions directly to any supervisor, manager, or director. 5. Safety Risk Management Safety Risk Management Process OCPT uses the SRM process as a primary method to ensure the safety of our operations, passengers, employees, vehicles, and facilities. It is a process whereby hazards and their consequences are identified, assessed for potential safety risk, and resolved in a manner acceptable to OCPT’s leadership. OCPT’s SRM process allows us to carefully examine what could cause harm and determine whether we have taken sufficient precautions to minimize the harm, or if further mitigations are necessary. OCPT’s Operations Manager leads OCPT’s SRM process, working with OCPT’s Safety Committee to identify hazards and consequences, assess safety risk of potential consequences, and mitigate safety risk. The results of OCPT’s SRM process are documented in our Critical Asset Vulnerability Action Report and Assessment Log and referenced materials. Safety Hazard Identification Establishing effective hazard identification programs is fundamental to safety management at OCPT. Hazard identification can be reactive or proactive in nature. Occurrence reporting, incident investigation an d trend analysis are essentially reactive. Other hazard identification methods actively seek feedback by observing and analyzing day-to-day operations. Common hazard identification activities include:  Safety audits and inspections of vehicles and facilities;;  Safety event and incident investigation and reporting;  Review of vehicle camera footage; DocuSign Envelope ID: F923E4B7-C3AE-47BA-9137-B078929B7ADE 69
