INTRODUCTION Leslie's believes in and upholds the dignity and importance of the individual and his/her right to derive personal satisfaction from hiS/her employment. Leslie's provids you with a safe and healthy place to work. It is your responsibility .to follow safety procedures. You are responsible foryour own safety and for the safety of those around Safety is the prime responsibility of management. The Store Managers are the key people in the safety program because they are in constant contact with their employees and possess the authority to issue and enforce procedures. Store manager and Regional Supervisors responsible for: 1. The prevention of accidents in their areas. 2. The removal of hazards. 3. The elimination of any unsafe practices. 4. Conducting and attendance at store safety meetings 5. Monthly Store Self-Inspections. Because of their critical roles, no Managers or Supervisors may ever be~.relieved of any part of their responsibiity for safety. Of course, the cooperation of every Manager and employee is essential to the maintenance of a safe working environment. This goal can be accomplished only..~if all members of the TEAM work continuously to promote safe working practices and strive to keep all property and equipment in optimum operating condition. Leslie°s has always attempted to make every employee aware of the hazards inherent in the industry and will continue to minimize possible dangers. Leslie's in turn expects and requires the cooperation of every employee in working safely and promoting safe conditions. 2. THE STORE MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITIES An effective'accident prevention program must start with a Manager's positive attitude. It is not enough to announce a program and dictate rules. Each Store Manager is responsible for the administration of the injury prevention and safety program ~within their store. Store Managers act as coodinators of the program, assisting store employees in the proper execution of their safety activities. The Store Managers. are responsible for training all of their employees in the area of on-the-job safety. Part of this duty is the constant review of procedures in order to avoid carelessness 52 due to complacency. The following is a list of the areas that require Manager's attention and methods by which they can maintain a safe operation: A. They should bear in mind that employees look upon them as direct representatives of the company and, therefore, interpret their attitude toward safety as that of management. B. They should operate on the basis that accident prevention is necessary for efficient operation. C. They should have a thorough knowledge of the hazards of every operation within their store and how they can be controlled. D. They should instruct all employees under their supervision in the right way of doing their work. They should place particular emphasis on the instruction of new employees and those transferred from one store to another. E. They should always follow up on training and supervise their employees in order to make sure they do their work in accordance with their instructions. F. They should correct improper work hzbits as soon as they detect them. G. They should insist on proper use of. equipment and tools to avoid accidents and see to it that they are maintained in good working condition. H. They should see to it that good housekeeping conditions are maintained. I. They should make sure that physical and mechanical hazards are promptly corrected. If corrective action is not within their authority, they should report the condition to a Supervisor. J. They should set a good example by following correct practices in all their activities. K. They should see to it that all injuries (no matter how slight) are promptly treated. L. They should investigate all accidents and near accidents. They should prepare an "Incident Report and Analysis" form for all injuries/accidents and contact their Regional Supervisor. M. Training also includes teaching customers and making 53 them aware of proper product usage, storage instructions and product limitations. This includes verifying that all applicable Warranty/Warning Forms are filled out correctly, signed by the customer and filed indefinitely in the store. 2. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION Accidents provide only one benefit -- they suggest how repetition may be avoided. It is, therefore, essential that accidents be thoroughly investigated so that the company might learn from a misfortune. Accident investigation is the responsibility of Managers, and they must complete the Investigation Report within 24 hours of the incident. All accidents must be reported immediately to Leslie's Director of Human Resources and your Regional Supervisor. FOR.IN-DEPTH INFORMATION, REFER TO LESLIE'S INJURY PREVENTION AND HAZARD COMMUNICATION PLAN. 3. CHEMICAL SAFETY GUIDELINES It is the responsibility of Leslie's to ensure that our employees have been properly trained in the handling of all chemicals, equipment and machinery that they will be expected to use in the' performance of their job. Each Store manager must also advise employees of the hazards to which they may be exposed infthe normal course of their job. All employees should be familiar with the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Here are a few guidelines to follow: Never mix or allow others to mix different chemicals, except where indicated to control hazardous conditions. B. Never put your safety in jeopardy by trying to contain a situation you feel is out of your control. Get professional help if there is any doubt. C. Always be alert to potentially hazardous situations involving chemicals. Alert Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department and your Regional Supervisor to these hazards and rectify them immediately. D. Call Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing or your Regional.Supervisor if you have any questions regarding a chemical, hazard, fire, spill, etc. FOR IN-DEPTH INFORMATION, REFER TO LESLIE'S INJURY PREVENTION AND HAZARD COMMUNICATION PLAN. 54 4. TRANSPORTATION, REPACKAGING, AND DISPOSAL OF CHEMICALS The following are our procedures for handling chemicals that require repackaging, disposal, or transport to the Distribution Center or another store. Do not send chemicals back to the Distribution Center or Pool Brite for repackaging or disposal. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's. Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing, Don Whittington, Blake Geiger or your Regional Supervisor for instructions on handling these chemicals. This includes all dry chemicals (Power Powder, 1" & 3" Tablets, Soda Ash, Alkalinity Up, Oxidizer, Oxidizer II, Conditioner, Dry Acid, etc.) and all liquid chemicals (Tile Cleaner, Algae Control, Copper Algaecide, Cartridge Cleaner, etc.). Chemicals other than dry chlorines that are being held for repack or disposal must be stored in a clean and dry manner and isolated from other containers. You should have a supply of empty, blank 25-pound containers for use in these situations. Be sure to mark the containers clearly as to their contents. Our truck drivers will not pick up any chemicals (pull items, transfer items, etc.) without getting verbal approval from Blake Geiger, Don Whittington or your Regional Supervisor. They will have to tell that person how many of which products ar~ being shipped where and verify that all containers are in a safe condition. The person's name authorizing pick-up will be marked on the paperwork by the driver. Should you receive approval, you must adhere to the following procedure: All stores should have copies of the six (6) Page hazardous dry chemical printout. This Leslie's computer-generated print-out must be used when shipping chemicals from your store to the Distribution Center or to another Leslie's store. The form must be used as follows: A. "To" - Fill in the name and address of where you are shipping the merchandise to (please print) B. "Date Shipped" - Date the shipment actually departs C. "Trailer Number" D. "Driver" - Name of Leslie's driver or name of carrier (please print) E. "Total Hazardous Weight" - The total weight of the. hazardous items on your shipment (the sum of your page weight must equal the total hazardous weight) F. "Shipped" -.Quantity G. "Weight" - Unit weight multiplied by quantity shipped 55 H. "Page Weight" - The total hazardous weight listed on this page only I. "Signed" - Your signature J. "Date" - Date shipment actually departs This paperwork must be on top of all other paperwork and must be kept on the truck's passenger seat or in the driver's side door pouch. Please advise the truck driver of this policy (if there is more than one store on the truck, each store's hazardous paperwork must be kept on top of all other paperwork). Return only chemicals that are in undamaged containers. Palletize liquid chemicals separate from your hazardous dry chemicals and always use great care in packaging and loading, in order to avoid damage in transit. The hazardous chemicals must be loaded at the rear of your load, which allows them to be the most accessible. Any truck carrying more than one thousand (1,000) pounds of hazardous materials must have 12" placards affixed to the outside of all four sides of the trailer. Our goal is to always transport our hazardous chemicals safely and legally. We appreciate the extra effort you are providing us with to reach this important goal. Please contact Blake Geiger or Don Whittington if you have any questions regarding these prOcedures. -' 5. ACCIDENTS AND SPILLS The following are the methods to be used when' an accident involving these chemicals occurs. Employees should exercise extreme caution when handling a spill. It is easy to say, but try not to panic and use common sense when-an accident occurs. A. Muriatic Acid 1.) Acid should be neutralized immediately with Soda Ash (sodium carbonate). Afterward, the area should be flushed thoroughly with water. Soda Ash and acid react producing heat, so be careful not to start clean-up until acid is totally neutralized. 2.) If acid gets into your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and see a physician. B. Sodium Hydrogen Sulfate/Sodium Bisulfate (Dry Acid) 1.) This product is fairly stable, but some precautions are advised. If dry acid is introduced to water, it will convert to a sulfuric solution which is quite corrosive. If it is in the 56 proximity of high heat or fire, it may liberate toxic sulfur oxide gases. 2.) In case of a spill of dry acid, it should be promptly swept up with clean, dry tools, mixed with an equal amount of soda ash, and placed in a sealed, dry plastic container. Contact Leslie's Regul'atory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department or your Regional Supervisor for instructions on disposal. The area of the spill should be wet-mopped with a clean mop to remove any acid residual. The mop should be thoroughly rinsed when finished before putting it away. C. Liquid Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite) 1.) Liquid chlorine need only be flushed thoroughly with water. If chlorine has entered eyes, flush well for 15 minutes. Liquid chlorine contains caustic soda, a strong irritant, and if left in the eye for a period of time, can result in eye damage. Contact a physician. D. Dry Chlorines (Calcium Hypochlorite, Power Powder, Chlorinator Tablets, Jumbo Tablets, Algi-Kill, Refillable Chlorinator, Floating Chlorinator, Chlorinator Sticks and Chlor Brite II): These chemicals are strong reactants and will begin to decompose and give off toxic gases when they become wet or in the presence of fire. Fire and toxic gases may. result if these chemicals are put into contact with any other organic material such as dirt, oil, solvents, or any other chemicals. 1. IN CASE OF FIRE · Use WATER only on dry chlorine fires! · DO NOT use ABC Fire Extinguishers, Wet Blankets, Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers, etc., on dry chlorine fires. Use your ABC Fire Extinguisher for any type of fire besides a dry chlorine fire. · NEVER risk your life or put yourself in jeopardy while trying to suppress a fire. · If you feel you can control the fire, wear protective' equipment such as neoprene gloves, goggles and most importantly, a respirator and begin fighting the fire by flooding the area with water. · Call the Fire Department and your Regional Supervisor 57 immediately! Should the fire take place after hours, call one of the following individuals at home using these numbers: Phillip Barrows 702/454-7579 Tom Horning 213/694-0481 Don Whittington 214/617-5288 Tim Isaacson 913/299-8538 Richard Deupree 713/578-7458 Mark Lum 805/496-5023 Bob Lowry 805/523-0264 Joanne Franey 5.10/827-3966 John Nitzken 214/517-5328 Dwight Groth 404/591-3506 Greg Tich¥ 805/266-4755 Terry Hanes 404/514-1976 Dave Grendel · 215/637-7596 Bob Buettner 805/523-9653 John McNeely 916/729-6487 Fred Burkert 909/590-5705 · The following are 24-hour assistance hot lines: Monsanto (Isocyanurates) 314/694-1000 PPG (Calcium Hypochlorite) 304/843-1300 Olin 800/654-6911 or 800/253-9140 Chemtrec 800/424-9300 - After the fire has been suppressed, continue to cool containers which have been exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. 2. IN CASE OF A SPILL Tablet Chlorine (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione) - Put on the protective equipment (neoprene gloves, safety goggles and respirator). - Tip the bucket up and place the lid on the bucket containing the uncontaminated chlorine. - Sweep the chlorine tablets up into a empty, yellow 50 lb. plastic pail and call Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional Supervisor for disposal instructions. 3. STORE EMERGENCY PROCEDURE FOR CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE Information concerning a calcium hypochlorite spill or fire is on the following page. 58 Store Emergency Procedure for Calcium Hypochlorite ~ procedure is for Emergency Purposes Only, for Non-Emergencies, refer to: ~egional Supervisor Leslie's Regulatory Affairs at Corporate Office _eslie's Technical Services Department at Corporate Office ; following Personal Protective Equipment is the minimum necessary: ;gles, Rubber Gloves and Respirator (Dust Mask) Emergency Procedures ! spill involving calcium hypochlorite can lead to an emergency. ~11 cases, alert the Store Manager and the Regional Supervisor and Leslie's Regulatory Affairs .~artment and report: Which chemical and brand name has spilled. How much has spilled. The condition of the spilled material. - Is it dry, damp or wet? - Is there evidence a reaction has started (bubbling, fuming, hissing, bulging containers)? · - Are there signs a fire may have started? here are signs of fire, the store should be evacuated and the Fire Department called mediately, even if the store has a sprinkler system. In extinguishing a fire, copious amounts water should be used. Do NOT use dry powder fire extinguishers. ~ether or not there is a fire, notify: Leslie's Regional Supervisor Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department Leslie's Technical Services Department In the event that none the above can help or if they are not available, Olin Corp. should then be called for instructions on how best to clean up and remove the spilled calcium hypochlorite prior to its disposal or neutralization. Olin Corp. Emergency Action Network (OCEAN) 1-800-253-9140 While Waiting For Instructions :he spill is dry and uncontaminated, (Uncontaminated means that it has not been' mixed with any her chemicals, oil or water. In other words, it is just laying on the floor by itself.) follow'these steps: Have other personnel leave the area. Provide ventilation. Put on protective equipment. Isolate the area and make sure no foreign matedal enters it. Get clean, dry containers for holding the spilled calcium hypochlorite and the leaking containers. Get clean brooms and dust pans for picking Ul~ the spilled calcium hypochlorite. Rp..~Jr~. th~.re is a clear_ Hnnh.~tr~nt~.d roJJte from th~ ~nill nrp. a tn th~ n; ~t~idp nf th~ ~tnr~ E. NEVER MIX ACID AND CHLORINE: A cardinal rule of Leslie's has always been, "NEVER MIX CHLORINE AND ACID". When this does happen, the product produced is a noxious gas resembling mustard gas and the fumes should be avoided. Hose down mixture with water. Spray water over area; this will help to keep fumes down. F. Sodium PerSulfate -- Leslie's Oxidizer II 1.) Sodium Persulfate is a stable chemical but caution should be used in its handling. Contamination by water, organic compounds, or metals can cause the material to oxidize which will release oxygen, a combustible gas. Sodium persulfate itself is not flammable. If the containers are involved in a fire, water is the recommended extinguishing medium. 2.) Spills of sodium persulfate should be swept up with broom and plastic dust pan. The sweepings may be placed in a clean, vented plastic container. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional Supervisor regarding disposal. G. Isocyanuric Acid (Conditioner/Stabilizer) 1.) Conditioner is a stable, slightly acidic product. It is not an oxidizer and, therefore, is not water-reactive. 2.) If Conditioner is involved in a fire, it will generate chlorines and carbon monoxide (both are toxic). Water is the recommended extinguishing medium. Residual material should be cooled and shoveled into a clean, water-tight plastic container. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional Supervisor for disposal advice. 3.) In case of a spill, sweep into clean, dry containers, and contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional...Supervisor for disposal advice. .-- 6. MAINTENANCE OF STORAGE ROOMS - DO NOT store incompatible chemical products, together. Separate these materials (Sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione, Trichloro-s~triazinetrione, Calcium Hypochlorite, Sodium Hypochlorite, Muriatic Acid, Chlorinated Rubber [Leslie's Pool Coating], Solvent [Leslie's Swimming Pool Reducer], Cumene Hydroperoxide [Deck-O-Seal], etc.) by storing compatible, inert 60 chemicals (Sand, Diatomaceous Earth, or non-chemicals such as Vacuum Hose Boxes, etc.) between them. These chemicals are to be separated by width equal to the height of the stack -- if the stack is 4' high, separate it from incompatible products by inerts that are 4' wide. - Besides other swimming pool chemicals, dry chlorine products are incompatible with several of the following products, and, if mixed, a fire, explosion, or release of toxic chlorine gas will occur -- acids, propellants, explosives, solvents, pesticides, agricultural products, household products, oils, vinegar, pine oils, beverages, soaps and detergents. - Do not store dry chlorine near products labeled corrosive, flammable or combustible. - Avoid contact of dry chlorine with any foreign material, rags, garbage or dirt. - Never allow aisles to become blocked. - Rotate stock on a first-in, first-out basis. - Follow good housekeeping practices in storage area; clean up all ~spills immediately. - Add a "No Smoking" sign in a conspicuous place in your storage room so that it will not be hidden by merchandise. - Employees who wish to smoke will be allowed to do so ONLY in the office or workshop. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 61 GUIDELINES FOR SAFE STORAGE OF CHEMICALS -IN STORE ROOMS- Many of the chemicals commonly used in swimming pools and spas are potentially hazardous, toxic and dangerous. They are stable and present no immediate danger...as long as they are stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area and not contaminated by other chemicals. The fact that we work with these chemicals every day does not lessen their potential danger. Proper storage of chemicals is essential-in order to minimize · the possibility of an emergency'. I. IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICALS IN STORAGE A. All storage areas containing chlorine, bromine or oxidizers should be identified according to the NFPA Oxidizer Class* or local fire department identification and classification markings. The NFPA words should appear: Class [number] Oxidizer. 1.) Class 1 - sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione, dihydrate 56% - (also called sodium dichloroisocyanurate, dihydrate 56%) and sodium persulfate - Leslie's Oxidizer II. 2.) Class 2 - trichloro-s-triazinetrione, (also called trichloroisocyanuric acid) - Leslie's Chloriue Tablets and Leslie's Algi-Kill and 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin Leslie's Brominating Tabs 3.) Class 3 - Calcium hypochlorite, anhydrous - Power Powder and sodium dichloro-s-trizainetrione, ~nhydrous 63% Leslie's Chlor Brite II B. Ail oxidizers (whether they contain chlorine or not) should also be identified by their hazard identification in accordance with NFPA 704, Standard System for the Identification of Fire Hazards of Materials. (That is the 4-color, diamond-shaped Sign or label.) C. All chemicals other than oxidizers need only be identified by their ingredient or brand name. PLEASE NOTE: The NFPA system is only one of many classification systems used throughou't the country. Check with your local fire department to find out which systeTM of marking and codes they use. Calk them, do not wait for an inspection. When you call, explain to them you want to comply with all codes and you need help. The magic words are "comply" and "help." -62- Leslie's Poolmart Section Store Room Storage Guidelines II. STORAGE ARRANGEMENTS A. In general, oxidizers should be stored to avoid' contact with incompatible materials. Incompatible materials include combustibles, flammable liquids, greases and other oxidizers that they may not be compatible with. B. Some of the chemicals that oxidizers are not compatible with are: tcetic acid Paint, oils and greases Glycerin Petroleum products (gasoline, kerosene, etc.) Ethers Amines Ammonia and ammonium salts Quaternary ammonium compounds ("quat algicides") Solvents (toluene, xylene and turpentine) Alcohols (methyl, ethyl and propyl) Phenols (used in resins) Peroxides and persulfates ,. Reducing agents (sulfides, sulfites & thiosulfates) Floor sweeping compounds C. General storage considerations 1.) Pool and spa chemicals should be stored in such a way as to avoid contact with incompatible material. Use solid shelving where possible so no loose or dripping material can fall through on to the items beneath it. 2.) Always create barriers between incompatible pool and spa chemicals. 3.) If possible, keep incompatible chemicals on their own shelves, in their own compartments and separated by solid vertical partitions. 4.) Try to avoid putting compartments containing incompatible chemicals next to one another. 5.) If it is not possible to provide vertical' partitions between chemical products, place inert chemicals or products to separate incompatible chemicals. 6.) Place liquids on bottom shelves to prevent dripping on to other chemicals in the event of breakage or leakage- 7.) Do not store any acid product next to a chlorine or bromine product or next to an oxidizer. ~Leslie's Poolmart Section Storeroom Storage Guidelines Due to the almost infinite variety of storage room sizes, shelving sizes and arrangements, and to widely varying pool chemical stocking requirements, it is impossible to cover every situation, i few guidelines, some common sense and an awareness for safety should see' you through. If, you have any question regarding storage and handling, please call Bob Lowry, Director of Technical Services in Chatsworth. III. ADDITIONAL STORAGE AND HANDLING INFORMATION A.

Evaluate your store and make changes to minimize risks: a.) Attach water heater to the wall with galvanized plumbers tape to prevent tipping (30-50 gal.). b.) Check foundation -- cracks larger than 1/8" wide indicate potential weakness. c.) Check exterior of building for any cracks or improperly, braced walls or eaves. d.) To prevent tipping of chemicals, put a bar across shelves in storage rooms e.) Tie displays down with fishing line. 2.) Have emergency supplies on hand: a.) A portable radio (with extra batteries). ~Iote: If you drive to work, a portable radio in your car. b.) Flashlight (with extra batteries). Note: Batteries last longer if stored in freezer. c.) A first-aid kit with handbook. d.) Extra food and water. 1) Canned goods, mechanical opener, powdered milk, bottled water, etc. Keep in the office, maybe some in your car. 3.) Know the following: a.) Where natural gas, electric and water shut-offs are located. b.) Where the "safest" place in your store is (i.e., away from heavy objects and panes of glass). c.) Location of nearest police station, fire station and hospital. d.) Have a plan to reunite or communicate with family members. 66 e.) If the Manager is off, he/she must communicate with store personnel immediately. 4.) Organization: a.) Have a "neighborhood" meeting with other merchants in your area to discuss plans and assign duties in the event of an earthquake. Find out if anyone has: 1) First-aid training 2) A ham radio 3) Electrial or plumbing experience 5.) During an earthquake: a.) Keep calm 1) If indoors, stay there. Get under a desk, table, or in a doorway. Stay clear of windows. STAY INSIDE. 2) If outdoors, get into the open, away from building and power lines. 6.) After an earthquake (during store hours): a.) Contact Regional Supervisor or Corporate Office immediately. b.) Check for injuries and render first-aid if needed. Do not attempt to move seriously injured. c.) Cover injured persons with blankets to keep them warm. Be reassuring and calm. d.) Immediately clean up any spilled chemicals. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs DePartment, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing or your Regional Supervisor for disposal instructions... e.) Perform a safety check 1) Check utility lines and store appliances (coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave oven). 2) Use a pipe wrench to shut off gas at the meter if you suspect a gas leak or smell gas. 67 3) Shut off electric power at the circuit breaker panel if you suspect a gas leak or if you have .any electrical damage. 4) Do not use lighters, electrical switches, or applicances if gas leaks are suspected. Remember, any appliance (i.e., .telephones, coffee maker, microwave oven, etc.) can create a spark that could ignite any gas present. So, if you suspect a gas leak, DO NOT use these items. 5) DO NOT TOUCH downed power lines, objects touching downed power lines, or electrical wiring of any kind. 7.). How to shut off gas (if a leak is suspected): a.) The main shut-off valve is located next to your gas meter on the inlet pipe. b.) Using a pipe wrench, give the valve a quarter turn in either direction so the valve is crosswise (perpendicular) in relation to the gas line. .The gas will then be shut off. 8.) Cooperate with public safety officials: a.) Use telephone to report injuries that need medical attention, fires, or violent crimes. b.) Call home and check on family. c.) Listen to radio for any information and damage reports. d.) Don't go sightseeing afterwards. Keep streets clear for emergency vehicles. 9.) What to do if an earthquake occurs after store hours: a.) Secure home and reassure family members. b.) Communicate with your Assistant Manager if you are unable to go to your store. c.) Immediately rePort to your store and physically check and secure building. d.) Clean up any spilled chemicals. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing or 68 your Regional Supervisor for disposal instructions. e.) Call your Regional Supervisor and report any damage. 10.) Be prepared for aftershocks. Most of these are smaller than the main quake, but some may be large enough to do additional damage. B. Tornado Tornadoes require immediate action! They are one of nature's most violent storms. By definition, a tornado is a violently-rotating column of air in contact with the ground. They strike fast and with great force. Within seconds they can injure, kill people, and severely damage property. In general, tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms. Usually, the weather is hot, humid, and unsettled. Most strike between 3 PM and 7 PM during April, May and June. However, a tornado can strike at any time, and in any month. 1.) Be prepared. a.) Emergency supplies should include: 1) Portable, battery-powered radio 2) Flashlight 3) Extra batteries (store in freezer) 4) First-aid kit with handbook b.) Call the Corporate Office or Regional Supervisor if you suspect a tornado may form~ 2.) Listen for National Weather Service bulletins. a.) Severe thunderstorm watch -- means that severe thunderstorms are likely and tornadoes may develop. Listen to the radio for further information. 1) Now would be a good time to get a Tufflite Pool cover ready to possibly start covering your gondolas. 2) Prepare your backroom (storage room). All cardboard containers should be stacked on shelves, shop bench, and Manager's desk. 69 3) Secure all chlorine products, Hardness Plus and Soda Ash with Tufflite material. 4) Call home and check on family members. b.) Severe thunderstorm warning -- means that severe thunderstorms are occuring. Listen Carefully to the warning. 1) In preparation for flooding use 100 lb. sandbags to construct a barrier around all doorways leading to outside. 2) If needed, use pumps to get rid of flood water to minimize water damage. 3) Check for roof leaks, etc. during storm. c.) Tornado watch -- means that thunderstorms and tornadoes are likely. Keep listening to the radio. Prepare to take shelter. 1) In the basement: - a corner - along the outside Wall - underneath stairs 2) In the store: - bathroom - a small interior room (storage room) d.) Tornado warning -- means that a tornado has been detected. If it is in your area TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. 1) Get low to the ground -- crouch or lie flat. 2) Protect your head -- get under a table, desk, or bench; cover your head with your hands. 3) Stay away from: - doors - outside walls 70 - heavy objects - windows 3.) After a tornado Be sure that the storm has passed before you leave your Shelter. Always use extreme caution. a.) Call Corporate Office and Regional Supervisor to report any damage. b.) Check for injuries and render first-aid if needed. c.) Call home and check on family members. 4.) Perform safety check a.) Check utility lines and store appliances (coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave oven). b.) Use a pipe wrench to shut off gas at the meter if you suspect a gas leak or smell gas. c.) Shut off electric power at the ciruit breaker panel'if you suspect a gas leak or if you have any electrical, damage. d.) Do not use lighters, electrical switches, or appliances if gas leaks are suspected. Remember, any appliance (i.e., telephones, coffee maker, microwave oven, etc.) can create a spark which could ignite any gas present. So, if you suspect a gas leak, DO NOT use these items. e.) DO NOT TOUCH downed power line, objects touching downed power lines, or electrical wiring of any kind. 5.) How to shut off gas (if a leak is suspected): a.) The main shut -off valve is located next to your gas meter on the inlet pipe. b.) Using a pipe wrench, give the valve a quarter' turn in either direction so t~e valve is. crosswise (perpendicular) in relation to. the gas 'line. The gas will then be shut off.- 6.) Check interior of store for damage. 1) Clean up any spilled chemicals 71 2) Immediately contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing or your Regional Supervisor for disposal instructions. 7.) Check exterior of store for damage. C. Hurricane The following is a list of items to accomplish in advance of a hurricane's projected landfall and an approximate time frame for their application. 1.) 72 Hours Prior -- Contact Regional Supervisor/Corporate Office to review emergency procedures. 2.) 48 Hours Prior a.) Rent gasoline-powered electric generator and purchase enough gasoline for 24 hours of continuous operation. b.) Purchase enough extension cords (50' - 100') ' to acromodate the generator. Also, pull from the . -..~ shelves an appropriate number of sump pumps in preparation for the possibility of having to pump the store out if water should reach the critical point. c.) Ensure that you have adequate K-9 supply hose, ferrels and hose ends for use as discharge hose. If not, use a 1" MIP Adapter and 1-1/2" discharge hose with clamps. Make certain the length is adequate to reach the doorways and/or the sink. d.) Check the c0.ndi?ion of flashlights and purchase additional batteries. e.) Notify the city and county hazardous materials department of your approximate total dry chlorine poundage. Inquire as to the possiblity of having them sandbag the store in preparation for '' flooding. 3.) 12 to 24 Hours Prior a.). Board up windows with 4' x 8' plywood and pegboard. If this is unavailable, tape the windows with tape. 72 b.) It is now time to secure all chlorine products, Hardness Plus and Soda Ash. Ail cardboard cartons should be moved to the back room and stacked on shelves, shop bench and the Manager's desk. Cover cartons with Tufflite material ensuring that the excess is "tucked" under containers so that it is secure and less likely to blow away. Additional cardboard cartons and all remaining containers should then be placed on pallet stacks in the back room. It is very important that these stacks be as far from all windows as possible. Should these windows break, you would like as much distance as possible between the chlorine and the wind-driven rain that will likely drench your showroom. All these chlorine stacks should be covered with Tufflite material and "tucked". Any remaining containers should be stacked on pallets in the showroom, covered and secured. c.) Use 100 lb. sandbags to construct a barrier around all doorways leading outside. This will slow down the invasion of flood water into the store and hopefully allow you to pump out water and minimize flood damage. d.) Lastly, assign someone to "man" the pumps and check for roof leaks, etc. ~uring the storm. This is assuming it is not going to be a direct hit. e.) In conclusion, remember three (3) things: 1) Although hurricanes are very large storms, their strongest winds are concentrated in a relatively small area around the eye (aproximately 50 miles from either side). 2) They historically veer off (usually eastward) just before landfall, thus making this a guessing game. 3) Hurricanes break down rapidly upon striking land. Usually within 200 miles of landfall they are down-graded to a tropical storm. 4.) List of items to ship to stores after a hurricane hits: - 10 lb. Alum - 10 lb. Power Powder - 25 lb.. Power Powder - 1/2 'gal. Super Stain & Scale Preventative - 1/2 gal. Super Water Clarifier 73 - Deluxe Pool Brush - Leaf Baggers (both models) - Leaf Catcher - Metal Basket for Leaf Catcher - Bag for Leaf Gobbler - Deluxe Telepole - Flex Vacuum Head - Vinyl Vacuum Head - Leaf Rake - 30' Vacuum Hose - 40' Vacuum Hose - Diving Boards (based on regular sales history) - Ladders - Motors (based on regional sales) - Pumps (3/4 horsepower) - Pumps (1 horsepower) - Pumps (1-1/2 horsepower) - Pumps (2 horsepower) - 36 sq. ft.

INTRODUCTION Leslie's believes in and upholds the dignity and importance of the individual and his/her right to derive personal satisfaction from hiS/her emploYment. Leslie's provids you with a safe and healthy place to work. It is your responsibility to follow safety procedures. You are responsible foryour own safety and for the safety of those around you, Safety is the prime responsibility of management. The Store Managers are the key people in the safetY program because they are in constant contact with their employees and possess the authority to issue and enforce procedures. Store manager and Regional Supervisors responsible for: 1. The prevention of accidents in their areas. 2. The removal of hazards. 3. The elimination of any unsafe practices. 4. Conducting and attendance at store safety meetings 5. Monthly Store Self-Inspections. Because of their critical roles, no Managers or Supervisors may ever'be relieved of any part of their responsibiity for safety. Of course, the cooperation of every Manager and employee is essential to the maintenance of a safe working environment. This goal can be accomplished onl¥..~if all members of the TEAM work continuOusly to promote safe working practices and strive to keep all property and equipment in optimum operating condition. Leslie's has always attempted to make every employee aware of the hazards inherent in the industry and will continue to minimize possible dangers. Leslie's in turn expects and requires the cooperation of every employee in working safely and promoting safe conditions. 2. THE STORE MANAGER'S RESPONSIBILITIES An effective accident prevention program must start with a Manager's positive attitude. It is not enough to announce a program and dictate rules. Each Store Manager is responsible for the administration of the injury prevention and safety program within their store. Store Managers act as coodinators of the'program, assisting store employees in the proper execution of their safety activities. The Store Managers. are responsible for training all of their employees in the area of on-the-job safety. Part of this duty is the constant review of procedures in order to avoid carelessness 52 due to complacency. The following is a list of the areas that require Manager's attention and methods by which they can maintain a safe operation: A. They should bear in mind that employees look upon them as direct representatives of the company and, therefore, interpret their attitude toward safety as that of management. B. They should operate on the basis that acCident prevention is necessary for efficient operation. ~ C. They should have a thorough knowledge of-the hazards of every operation,within their stOre and how they can be controlled. D. They should instruct all employees under their supervision in the right way of doing their work. They should place particular emphasis on the instruction of new employees and those transferred from one store to another.~ E. They should always follow up on training and supervise their employees in order to make sure they do their work in accordance with their instructions. F. They should correct improper work habits as soon as they detect them. G. They should insist on proper use of equipment and tools to avoid accidents and see to it that they are maintained in good working condition. H, They should see to it that good housekeeping conditions are maintained. I. They should make sure that physical and mechanical hazards are promptly corrected. If corrective action is not within their authority, they should report the condition to a Supervisor. J. They should set a good example by following correct practices in all their activities. K. They should see to it that all injuries (no matter how slight) are promptly treated. L. They should investigate all accidents and near accidents. They should prepare an "Incident Report and Analysis" form for all injuries/accidents-and contact their Regional' SUpervisor. M. Training also includes teaching customers and making 53 them aware of proper product usage, storage instructions and product limitations. This includes verifying that all applicable Warranty/Warning Forms are.filled out correctly, signed by the customer and filed indefinitely in the store. 2. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION Accidents provide only one benefit -- they suggest how repetition may be avoided. It is,. therefore, essential that accidents be thoroughly investigated so that the company might learn from a misfortune. Accident investigation is the responsibility of Managers, and they must complete the Investigation Report within 24 hours of the incident. All accidents must be reported immediately to Leslie's Director of Human Resources and your Regional. Supervisor. FOR'IN-DEPTH INFORMATION, REFER TO LESLIE'S INJURY PREVENTION AND HAZARD COMMUNICATION PLAN. 3.. CHEMICAL SAFETY GUIDELINES It is the responsibility of Leslie's to ensure that our employees have been properly trained in the handling of all chemicals, equipment and machinery that they will be expected to use in the' performance~of their job. Each Store manager must also advise employees of the hazards to which they may be exposed in'the normal course of their job~ All employees should be familiar with the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Here are a few guidelines to follow: A. Never mix or allow others to mix different chemicals, except where indicated to control hazardous conditions. B. Never put your safety in jeopardy by trying to contain · a situation you feel is out of your control. Get professional help if there is any doubt. C. Always be alert to potentially hazardous situations involving chemicals. Alert Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department and your Regional Supervisor to these hazards and rectify them immediately. D. Call Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing .or your Regional Supervisor if you have .ahy questions regarding a chemical, hazard, fire, spill, etc. FOR IN-DEPTH INFORMATION, REFER TO LESLIE'$ INJURY PREVENTION AND HAZARD COMMUNICATION PLAN. 54 4. TRANSPORTATION, REPACKAGING, AND DISPOSAL OF CHEMICALS The following are our procedures for handling chemicals that require repackaging, disposal, or transport to the Distribution Center or another store. Do not send chemicals back to the DistributiOn Center or Pool Brite for repackaging or disposal. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's. Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing, Don Whittington, Blake Geiger Or your Regional Supervisor for instructions on handling these chemicals. This includes all dry chemicals (Power Powder, 1" & 3" Tablets, Soda Ash, Alkalinity Up, Oxidizer, Oxidizer II, Conditioner, Dry Acid, etc.) and all liquid chemicals (Tile Cleaner','Algae Control, Copper Algaecide, Cartridge Cleaner, etc.)., Chemicals other than dry chlorines that are being held for repack or disposal must be stored in a clean and dry manner and isolated from other containers. You should have a supply of empty, blank 25-pound containers for use in these situations. Be sure to mark the containers clearly as to their contents. Our truck drivers will not.pick up any chemicals (pull -items, transfer items, etc.) without getting verbal approval from Blake Geiger, Don Whittington or your Regional Supervisor. They will have to tell that person how many of which products are being shippe~ where and verify that all containers are in a safe condition. The Person's name authorizing pick-up will be marked on the paperwork by the driver. Should you receive approval, you must adhere to.the following procedure: All stores should have copies of the six (6) Page hazardous dry chemical printout. This Leslie's computer-generated print-out must be used when shipping chemicals from your store to the Distribution Center or to another Leslie's store. The form must be used as follows: A. "To" - Fill in the name and address of where you are shipping the merchandise to (please print) B. "Date Shipped" - Date the shipment actually departs C. "Trailer Number" D. "Driver" - Name of Leslie's driver or name of carrier (please print) E. "Total Hazardous Weight~ - The total weight of the. hazardous items on your. shipment (the sum of your page weight must equal the total hazardous weight) F. "Shipped" -Quantity G. "Weight" - Unit weight multiplied by quantity shipped' 55 H. "Page Weight" - The total hazardous weight listed on this page only I. "Signed" - Your signature J. "Date" - Date shipment actually departs This paperwork must be on top of all other paperwork and must be kept on the truck's passenger seat or in the driver's side door pouch. Please advise the truck driver of this policy (if there is more than one store on the truck, each store's hazardous paperwork must be kept on top of all other paperwork). Return only chemicals that are in undamaged containers. Palletize liquid chemicals separate from your hazardous dry chemicals and always use great.care in packaging and ~oading, in order to avoid damage in transit. The hazardous chemicals must be loaded at the rear of your load, which allows them to be the most accessible. Any truck carrying more than one thousand (1,000) pounds of hazardous materials must have 12" placards . affixed to the outside of all four sides of the trailer. Our goal is to always transport our hazardous chemicals safely and legally. We appreciate the extra effort you are providing us with to reach this important goal. Please contact Blake Geiger or Don Whittington if you have any questions regarding these procedures. ~' 5. ACCIDENTS AND SPILLS The following are the methods to be used when an accident involving these chemicals occurs. Employees should exercise extreme caution when handling a spill. It is easy to say, but try not to panic and use common sense when an accident occurs.. A. Muriatic Acid 1.). Acid should be neutralized immediately with Soda Ash (sodium carbonate). Afterward, the area should be flushed thoroughly with water. Soda Ash and acid react producing heat, so be careful not to start clean-up until acid is totally neutralized. 2.) If acid gets into your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and see a physician. Bo Sodium~Hydrogen Sulfate/Sodium Bisulfate. (Dry Acid) 1.) This product is fairly stable, but some precautions are advised. If dry acid is introduced to water, it will convert to a sulfuric solution which is quite corrosive. If it is in the 56 proximity of high heat or fire, it may liberate toxic sulfur oxide gases. 2.) In case of a spill of dry acid, it should be promptly swept up with clean, dry tools, mixed with an equal amount of soda ash, and placed in a sealed, dry plastic container. Contact Leslie's Regul'atory Affairs Department, Leslie's TeChnical Services Department or your Regional Supervisor for instructions on disposal. The area of the spill should be wet-mopped with a clean mop to remove any acid residual. The mop should be thoroughly rinsed when finished before putting it away. C. Liquid Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite) 1.) Liquid chlorine need only be flushed thoroughly with water. If chlorine has entered eyes, flush well for 15 minutes. Liquid chlorine contains caustic soda, a strong irritant, and if left in the eye'for a period of time, can result in eye damage. Contact a physician. D. Dry Chlorines (Calcium Hypochlorite, Power Powder, Chlorinator Tablets, Jumbo Tablets, Algi-Kill, Refillable Chlorinator, Floating Chlorinator, Chlorinator Sticks. and Chlor Brite II): These chemicals are strong reactants and will begin to decompose and give off toxic gases when they become wet or in the presence of fire. Fire and toxic gases may result if these chemicals are put into contact with any other organic material such as dirt, oil, solvents, or any other chemicals. 1. IN CASE OF FIRE · Use WATER.only on dry chlorine fires! · DO NOT use ABC Fire Extinguishers, Wet Blankets, Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers, etc., on dry chlorine fires. Use your ABC Fire Extinguisher for any type of fire besides a dry chlorine fire. · NEVER ~risk your life or put yourself in' jeopardy while trying to suppress a fire. · If you feel you-can control the fire, wear pr~otective' equipment such as neoprene gloves, goggles and most importantly, a respirator and begin fighting the fire by flooding the area with water. · Call the Fire Department and your Regional Supervisor 57 immediately! Should the fire take place after hours, call one of the following individuals at home using these numbers: Phillip Barrows 702/454-7579 Tom Horning 213/694-0481. Don Whittington. 214/617-5288 Tim Isaacson 913/299-8538 Richard Deupree 713/578-7458 Mark Lum 805/496-5023 ~Bob Lowry 805/523-0264 Joanne Franey 5~0/827-3966 John Nitzken 214/517-5328 Dwight Groth 40'4/591-3506 Greg Tichy 805/266-4755 Terry Hanes 404/514-1976 Dave Grendel 215/637-7596 Bob Buettner 805/523-9653 John McNeely 916/729~6487 Fred Burkert 909/590-5705 · The following are 24-hour assistance hot lines: Monsanto (Isocyanurates) 314/694-1000 PPG (Calcium Hypochlorite) 304/843-1300 Olin 800/654-6911 or 800/253-9140 Chemtrec 800/424-9300 - After the fire has been suppressed, continue to cool containers which have been exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. 2. IN CASE OF A SPILL Tablet Chlorine (Trichloro-s-triazinetrione) - Put on the protective equipment (neoprene gloves, safety goggles and respirator). - Tip the bucket up and place the lid on the bucket containing the. uncontaminated chlorine. - Sweep the chlOrine tablets up into a empty, yellow 50 lb. plastic pail and call Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional Supervisor for disposal instructions. 3. STORE EMERGENCY PROCEDURE FOR CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE Information concerning a calcium hypochlorite spill or fire is on the following page. 58 Store Emergency Procedure for Calcium Hypochlorite procedure is for Emergency Purposes Only, for Non-Emergencies, refer to: egional Supervisor Ieslie's Regulatory Affairs at Corporate Office eslie's Technical Services Department at Corporate Office following Personal Protective Equipment is the minimum necessary: ;]gles, Rubber Gloves and Respirator (Dust Mask) · Emergency Procedures / spill involving calcium hypochlorite can lead to an emergency. dl cases, alert the Store Manager and the Regional Supervisor and Leslie's Regulatory Affairs ~3artment and report: Which chemical and brand name has spilled. How much has spilled. The condition of the spilled material. - Is it dry, damp or wet? - Is there evidence a reaction has started (bubbling, fuming, hissing, bulging containers)? - - Are there signs a fire may have started? l~ere are signs of fire, the store should be evacuated and the Fire Department called mediately, even if the store has a sprinkler system. In extinguishing a fire, copious amounts ~water should be used. Do NOT use dry powder fire extinguishers. tether or not there is a fire, notify: Leslie's Regional Supervisor Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department Leslie's Technical Services Depa~rtment In the event that none the above can help or if they are not available, Olin Corp. should then be called for instructions on how best to clean up and remove the spilled calcium hypochlorite prior to its 'disposal or neutralization. Olin Corp. Emergency Action Network (OCEAN) 1-800-253-9140 While.Waiting For Instructions ":he spill is dry and uncontaminated, (Uncontaminated means that ~t has not been mixed .,.with any ~er chemicals, oil or water. In other words, it is just laying on the floor by itself.) follow'these steps: Have other personnel leave the area. Provide ventilation. Put on protective equipment. Isolate the area and make sure no foreign material enters it. Get clean, d~y containers for holding the spilled calcium hypochlorite and the leaking containers. Get clean brooms and dust pans for picking u9 the' spilled calcium hypochlorite. Be sure there is a clear, unobstructed route from the shill ar~;~ tn th~. E. NEVER MIX 'ACID AND cHLORINE: A cardinal rule of Leslie's has always been,."NEVER MIX CHLORINE AND ACID". When this does happen, the product produced is a noxious gas resembling mustard~gas and the fumes should be avoided. Hose down mixture with water. Spray water over area; this will help to keep fumes down F. Sodium Persulfate -- Leslie's Oxidizer II 1.) Sodium Persulfate is a stable chemical but caution should be used in its handling. Contamination by water, organic compounds, or metals can cause the material to oxidize which Will release oxygen, a combustible gas. Sodium persulfate itself is not flammable. If the containers are involved in a fire, water is the recommended extinguishing medium. 2.) Spills of sodium persulfate should be swept up with broom and plastic dust pan. The sweepings may be placed in a clean, vented plastic container. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional Supervisor regarding disposal. G. Isocyanuric Acid (Conditioner/Stabilizer) 1.) Conditioner is a stable, slightly acidic product. It is not an oxidizer and, therefore, is not water-reactive. 2.) If Conditioner is involved in a fire, it will generate chlorines and carbon monoxide (both are toxic). Water is the recommended extinguishing medium. Residual material should be cooled and shoveled into a ~ clean, water-tight plastic container. Contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, .Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional Supervisor for disposal advice. 3.) In case of a spill, sweep into clean, dry Containers, and contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite or your Regional...Supervisor for disposal advice. 6. MAINTENANCE OF STORAGE ROOMS - DO NOT store incompatible chemical ~roducts. together. Separate these~materials (Sodium dichloro-s-tr~azinetrione, Trichloro-s~triazinetrione, Calcium Hypochlorite, Sodium Hypochl°rite, Muriatic Acid, Chlorinated Rubber [Leslie's Pool Coating], SolVent [Leslie's Swimming Pool Reducer], Cumene Hydroperoxide [Deck-O-Seal], etc.) bY storing compatible~"inert 60 chemicals (Sand, Diatomaceous Earth, or non-chemicals such as Vacuum Hose Boxes, etc.) between them. These chemicals are to be separated by width equal to the height of the stack -- if the stack is 4' high, separate it from incompatible products by inerts that are 4' wide. - Besides other swimming pool chemicals, dry chlorine' products are incompatible with several of the following products, and, if mixed, a fire, explosion, or release of toxic chlorine gas will occur -- acids, propellants, explosives, solvents, pesticides, agricultural products, household products, oils, vinegar, pine oils, beverages, soaps and detergents. - Do not store dry chlorine near products labeled corrosive, flammable or combustible. - Avoid contact of dry chlorine with any foreign material, rags, garbage or dirt. - Never allow aisles to become blocked. - Rotate stock on a first-in, first-out basis~. -'Follow good housekeeping practices in storage area; clean' up all spills immediately. - Add a "No Smoking" sign in a conspicuous place in your storage room so that it will not be hidden by merchandise. ¥ Employees who wish to smoke will be allowed to do so ONLY in the office or workshop. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 61 GUIDELINES FOR SAFE STORAGE OF CHEMrCALS -IN STORE ROOMS- Many of the chemicals commonly used in swimming pools and spas are potentially hazardous, toxic and dangerous. They are stable and'present no immediate danger...as long as they are stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area and not contaminated by.other chemicals. The fact that we work with these chemicals every day does not lessen their potential danger. Proper storage of chemicals"is ·essential .in order to minimize · the possibility of an emergency. I. IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMICALS IN STORAGE A. Ail storage areas containing chlorine, bromine or oxidizers should be identified according'to the NFPA Oxidizer Class* or local fire department identification and classification markings. The NFPA words should appear: Class [number] Oxidizer. 1.) Class I - sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione, dihydrate 56% - (also called sodium dichloroisocyanurate, dihydrate 56%) and sodium persulfate - Leslie's Oxidizer II. 2'.) Class 2 - trichloro-s-triazinetrione, (also called trichloroisocyanuric acid) - Leslie's Chlorine Tablets and Leslie's Algi-Kill and 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin Leslie's Brominating Tabs 3.) Class 3 - Calcium hypochlorite, anhydrous - Power Powder and sodium dichloro-s-trizainetrione, ~nhydro.us 63% Leslie's Chlor Brite II B. All oxidizers (whether they contain chlorine or not) should also be identified by .their hazard identification in accordance with NFPA 704, Standard System for the Identification of Fire·Hazards of Materials. (That is .the 4-color, diamond-shaped Sign or label.) C. All chemicals other than oxidizers need only be identified by their ingredient or brand name. ~. PLEASE NOTE: The NFPA system is only one of many classification systems used throughout the country. Check with your local fire department to find out which system of marking and codes they use Call them, do not wait for an inspection. When you call, explain to them you want to comply with all codes and you need helP. The magic words are "Comply" and "help." '62- ~eslie's Poolmart Se~txon Store Room Storage Guidelines II. STORAGE ARRANGEMENTS A. In ~eneral, 'oxidizers should be stored to avoid' contact with incompatible materials. Incompatible materials include combustibles, flammable liquids, greases and other oxidizers that they may not be compatible with. B. Some of the chemicals that oxidizers are not compatible with are: Acetic acid Paint, oils and Glycerin Petroleum products (gasoline, kerosene, etc.) Ethers Amines Ammonia and ammonium salts Quaternary ammonium compounds ("quat algicides") Solvents (toluene, xylene and turpentine) Alcohols (methyl, ethyl and propyl) Phenols (used in resins) Peroxides and persulfates ,. ReducinK a~ents (sulfides, sulfites & thiosulfates) Floor sweepinK compounds General storage considerations 1.) Pool and spa chemicals should be stored in such a way as to avoid contact with incompatible material. Use solid shelving where possible so no 16ose or dripping material can fall through on to the items beneath it. 2.) Always create barriers between inco~atible pool and spa chemicals. 3.) If possible, keep incompatible chemicals on their own shelves, in their own compartments and separated by solid vertical partitions- 4.) Try to avoid putting compartments containing incompatible chemicals next to one another. 5.) If it is not possible to provide vertical partitions between chemical prodUcts, place inert chemicals or products to separate incompatible chemicals. 6.) 'Place liquids on bottom shelves to prevent dripping on to other chemicals in the event of breakage or leakage. 7.) Do not store any acid product next to a chlorine or bromine p~oduct or next to an oxidizer. Leslie's Poolmart Section Storeroom Storage Guidelines Due to the almost infinite variety of storage room sizes, shelving .sizes and arrangements, and to widely varying pool chemical stocking requirements, it is impossible to cover every situation. A few guidelines, s-omc common sense and an awareness for safety should see' you through. If. you have any question regarding· storage and handling, please call Bob Lowry, Director of Technical Services in Chatsworth. III. ADDITIONAL STORAGE AND HANDLING INFORMATION A. Have an established emergency response plan B. Maintain good housekeeping standards " C. Separate incompatible materials D. Store chemicals in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space E.

Tornado Tornadoes require immediate action! They are one of nature's most violent storms. By definition, a tornado is a · violently-rotating c°lumn'of air in contact with the ground. They strike fast and with great force. Within seconds they can injure, kill people, and severely damage property. In general, tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms. Usually, the weather is hot, humid, and unsettled. Most strike between 3 PM and 7 PM during April, May and June. However, a tornado can strike at any time, and in any month. 1.) .Be prepared. a.) Emergency supplies shoUld include:. 1) Portable, battery-powered radio 2) Flashlight 3) Extra batteries (store in freezer) 4) First-aid kit with handbook b.) Call the Corporate Office or Regional Supervisor if you suspect a tornado may form~ 2.) Listen for National Weather Service bulletins. a.) Severe thunderstorm watch -- means that severe thunderstorms are likely and tornadoes may develop. Listen to the radio for further information. 1) Now would be a good time to get a Tufflite Pool cover ready to possibly start covering your gondolas. 2) Prepare your' backroom (storage room). All cardboard containers should be stacked on shelves, shop bench, and Maqager's desk. 69 3) Secure all chlorine products, Hardness Plus and Soda Ash with Tufflite material. 4) Call home and check on family members. b.) Severe thunderstorm warning -- means that severe thunderstorms are occuring. Listen carefully to the warning. 1) In preparation for flooding use 100 lb. sandbags to construct a barrier around all doorways leading to outside. 2.) If needed, use pumps to get rid of flood water to minimize water damage. 3) Check for rogf leaks, etc. during storm. c.) Tornado watch -- means that thunderstorms and tornadoes are likely. Keep listening to the radio. Prepare to take shelter. 1) In the basement: - a corner - along the outside Wall - underneath stairs 2) In the store: - bathroom - a small interior room (storage room) d.) Tornado warning -- means that a tornado has been detected. If it is in your area TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. 1) Get 10w to the ground -- crouch or lie flat. 2) Protect your head -- get under a table, desk, or bench; cover your head with your hands. 3) Stay away from: - doors - outside walls 70 - heavy objects - windows 3.) After a tornado Be sure that the storm has passed before you leave your shelter. Always use extreme caution. a.) Call Corporate office and Regional Supervisor to report any damage. b.)Check for.injuries and render first-aid if needed. c.) Call home and check on family members. 4.) Perform .safety check a.) Check utility lines and store appliances (coffee maker, refrigerator, microwaVe oven). b.) Use a pipe wrench to shut off gas at the meter if you suspect a gas leak or smell gas. c.) Shut. off electric power e.t the ciruit breaker panel~if you suspect a gas leak or if you have any electrical damage. d.) Do not use lighters, electrical switches, or appliances if gas leaks are suspected. Remember, any appliance.(i.e., telephones, coffee maker, microwave oven, etc.) can create a spark which could ignite any gas present. So, if you suspect a gas leak, DO NOT use these items. e.) DO NOT TOUCH downed power line, objects touching downed power lines, or electrical wiring of any kind. 5.) How.to shut off gas (if a leak is suspected): a.)The main shut -off valve is located next to your gas meter on the inlet pipe. b.) Using a pipe Wrench, give the valve a quarter turn in either direction so the valve is. crosswise (perpendicular) in relation to. the gas ~line. The gas will then be shut off.- 6.) Check interior of store for damage. 1) Clean up any spilled chemicals 71 2) Immediately contact Leslie's Regulatory Affairs Department, Leslie's Technical Services Department, Pool Brite Manufacturing or your Regional Supervisor for disposal instructions. 7.) Check exterior of store for damage. C. Hurricane The following is a list of items to accomplish in advance of a hurricane's projected landfall and an approximate time frame for their application. 1.) 72 Hours Prior -- Contact Regional Supervisor/Corporate Office to review emergency procedures. 2.) 48 Hours Prior a.) Rent gasoline-powered electric generator and purchase enough gasoline for 24 hours of continuous operation. b.) Purchase enough extension cords (50' - 100') ' to arromodate the generator. Also, pull from the ~ .-. shelves an appropriate number of sump pumps in preparation for the possibility of having to pump the store out if water should reach the critical · point. c.) Ensure that you have adequate K-9 supply hose, ferrels and hose ends for use as discharge hose. If not, use a 1" MI.P Adapter and 1-1/2" discharge hose with clamps. Make certain the length is adequate to reach the doorways and/or the sink. d.)Check the condition of flashlights and purchase additional batteries. e.) Notify the city and county hazardous materials department of your approximate total dry chlorine poundage. Inquire as to the possiblity of having them sandbag the store in preparation for flooding.. 3.) 12 to 24 Hour§ Prior a.). Board up windows with 4' x 8' plywood and pegboard. If'this is unavailable, tape the windows with tape. 72 b.) It is now time to secure all chlorine products, Hardness 'Plus and Soda Ash. Ail cardboard cartons should be moved to the back room and stacked on shelves, shop bench and the Manager's desk. Cover cartons with Tufflite 'material ensuring that the excess is "tucked" under containers so that it is secure and less likely to blow away. Additional cardboard cartons and all remaining containers should then be placed on pallet stacks in the back room. It is very important that these stacks be as far from all windows as possible. Should these windows break, you would like as much distance as possible between the chlorine and the wind-driven rain that will likelYdrench your showroom. All these chlorine stacks should be covered with Tufflite material and "tucked". Any remaining containers should be stacked on pallets in the showroom, covered and secured. .. c.') Use 100 lb. sandbags to construct a barrier around all doorways leading outside. This will slow down the invasion of flood water into the store and hopefully allow you to pump out water and minimize flood damage. d.) Lastly, assign someone to "man" the pumps and' check for roof leaks, etc. ~uring the storm. This is assuming it is not going to be a direct hit. e.) In conclusion, remember three (3) things: 1) Although hurricanes are very large storms, their strongest winds are concentrated in a relatively small area around the eye (aproximately 50 miles from either side). 2) They historically veer off (usually eastward) just before landfall, thus making this a guessing game. 3) Hurricanes' break down rapidly upon striking land. Usually within 200 miles of landfall they are down-graded to a tropical storm. 4.) List of items to ship to stores after a hurricane hits: - 10 lb. Alum - 10 lb. Power Powder - 25 lb.

DIV. city of Bakersfield RE: Hazardous Materials Fee P.O. Box 2057 Sandy's Swimming Pool Supply Bakersfield, CA 93303-2057 931 19TH St., Bakersfield, CA Dear Ms. Ester Duran: Per our conversation on February 25, 1993, Leslie's Pool Mart, Inc. took over Sandy's Pool Supply in August 1992. Shortly thereafter, Leslie's Pool Mart Inc. decided to vacate the building at the above address. This decision went into effect September 1992. I understand that as you were just notified of the change of ownership and occupancy on February 25, 1993, and not within the stipulated 30 days pursuant to Federal and State laws, Leslie's Pool Mart, Inc. is still obligated to pay the Hazardous Materials Fee. I have enclosed a check in the amount of $263.00 for the Hazardous Material Handling Fee. The registration of hazardous materials for this retail establishment will be valid for the reporting period of 7/1/92 to 6/30/93. As you will be receiving the Hazardous Materials Fee on March 1, 1993, it is also my understanding, per my conversation with you on February 16, 1993, that Leslie's Pool Mart will have any .late fees readjusted. A concerted effort will be made in the future to notify your agency on changes in ownership, hazardous materials volume and occupancy status.

F. Always be alert to potentially hazardous situations involving chemicals. Alert your superiors to these hazards and rectify them immediately. G. Call PoOl Brite Manufacturing or a Supervisor if you have any question regarding a chemical, hazard, fire, spill, etc. 4. TRANSPORTATION, REP'ACKAGING, AND DISPOSAL OF CHEMICALS The following are our procedures for handling chemicals that require repackaging, disposal, or transport to the Warehouse or another store. Do not send chemicals back to the Warehouse or Pool Brite for repackaging or disposal. Contact Pool Brite, Charles Vasquez or a Supervisor for instructions on handling these chemicals. This includes all dry chemicals (chlorines, soda ash, alkalinity plus, oxi- ... dizer, 'conditioner, dry acid, etc.) and all liquid chemicals (tile cleaner, algaecides, cartridge cleaner, etc.). Chemicals that are being held for repack or disposal must be stored in a clean and dry manner and isolated from other containers, you should have a supply of empty, blank 25-pound containers for use in these situations. Be sure to mark the containers clearly as to their contents. Our truck drivers will not pick up any chemicals (pull items, transfer items, etc.) without getting verbal approval from Charles Vasc/uez or one of the Supervisors. They will have to tell that person how many of which products are being shipped where, and verify that all containers are in a safe ~ ,c°nditi°n. The person's name authorizing pick up will be marked on the paperwork by the driver. 5. ACCIDENTS AND SPILLS The following are the methods to be used when an accident involving these chemicals occurs. Employees should exercise extreme 5. ACCIDENTS AND SPILLS (CONT~D): caution when handling a spill. It's easy to say, but try not 'to panic and use common sense when an accident occurs. A.~. Yuriatic Acid: Acid should be neutralized immediately with soda ash. Afterward, area should be 'flused thoroughly with water. Soda ash and acid react producing heat, so be careful not to start clean up until acid is totally neutralized. If acid has gotten into eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and see a physician. B. Sodium Bisulfate - Leslie's Dry Acid: 1. This product is fairly stable but some precautions are advised. If dry acid is introduced to water, it will ~ convert to a sulfuric solution which is quite corrosive. · '~ If it is in the proximity of high heat or fire, it may liberate toxic sulfur oxide gases. 2. In case of a spill of dry acid, it should be promptly with'clean, dry tools, mixed with an equal swept up amount of soda ash, and placed in a sealed, dry plastic container. Contact Pool Brite or a Supervisor for instrucitons on disposal. The area of the spill should be wet mopped to remove any acid residual. C. Liquid Chlorine (Sodium ttypochlorite): Liquid Chlorine need only be flushed thoroughly with water. If chlorine has entered eyes, flush well for 15 minutes. Liquid chlorine contains caustic soda, a strong irritant, and if left in the · eye for a period of time, can result in eye damage. Contact physician. D. Dry Chlorines (Calcium ttypochlorite, Power Powder, Chlor- inator Table'ts, :Jumbo Tablets, Algi-Kill, Pool Brite, and Chlor Brite II): 1. These chemicals are strong reactants and will begin to decompose and give off toxic gases when they become wet or in the presence of fire. Fire and toxic gases may result if these chemicals are put into contact with -58- .. other materials such as dirt, oil, solvents, an ~2 organic .... or any other chemicals. 2. In case of a fire or other reaction involving these materials, the following steps should be followed: a) Evacuate the immediate area of personnel. b) If safely possible approach the affected material and remove to an open (preferably outside) location.. This should be done with a pallet jack, if possible. c) If safely possible cover affected material and containers with soda ash. Because this material generates its own oxygen, you will not be able to extinguish it; but the soda ash will help to contain the oxidizing material and keep fuming down somewhat. d) In case of a dry chemical spill not involving fire or decomposition, the material should be swept up using dry brooms and shovels, placed in- a dry plastic container, and Pool Brite or a Supervisor should be contacted for instructions on disposal. e) If there is any question of danger to persons or porperty: call the Fire Department. E. Never Mix Acid and Chlorine: A cardinal rule of Leslie's has always been, "NEVER MIX CHLORINE AND ACID." When this does happen, the product is a noxious gas resem'bling mustard gas and the fumes should be avoided. Hose down mixture with water. Spray water over area; this will help to keep fumes down. F. Oxone - Leslie's OXidizer: 1. Oxone is a stable product but caution should be used in its handling. It is acidic and should be handled accordingly. Contamination by water, organic compounds, or metals can cause the material to oxidize which will release oxygen, a combustible gas. O~one itself is not flammable If the containers are involved in a fire, water is recommended extinguishing media. 2. Spills of oxone should be swept up with brooms and plastic dust pans. The sweepings may be placed in a vented plastic container. Contact Pool Brite or -a Supervisor regarding disposal. G. Isocyanuric Acid - Conditioner: 1. Conditioner is a stable, slightly acidic product. It is not an o~idizer and, therefore, is not water reactive. 2. If a conditioner is involved in a fire, it will generate G. Isocyanuric Acid (Cont'd) chlorides and carbon monoxide (both are toxic). Water.  is the recommended extinguishing media. Residual ' ,.. material should be cooled and shoveled into a water-tight plastic container. Contact Pool Brite for disposal advice. 3. In case of a spill, sweep into clean, dry containers', and contact Pool Brite for disposal advice. HOLD UPRIGHt.
