SAFE
RETURN TO WORK PACKET
Hello,

I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. I wanted to start by
thanking you for your support during this unprecedented time. It’s been challenging and
tough, but we’re optimistic that we are through the worst of it and better times are ahead.

As a global FCA family, we have been impacted by the virus. A number of our colleagues
have become ill, have been asked to self-quarantine or are now recovering. Unfortunately,
it is with deep sadness that we also mourn the loss of some of our colleagues who lost their
battle with this evil disease. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and loved ones in
their time of grief.

As we look to the future, we are prepared to restart production and bring you back to work.
We are eager to get back to doing what we do best − building high-quality cars, trucks and
SUVs that people want to buy and are proud to own. You are a key part of the company
successfully resuming operations. To ensure that you feel safe and secure returning to
work, we’ve enclosed important information outlining what you need to know about how
we will operate on your first day and beyond.

In addition to the enclosed materials, I’d encourage you to check out the COVID-19 section
on Dashboard Anywhere, which includes updated information and Frequently Asked
Questions that cover a variety of topics. You can find the section in the center of the
Dashboard Anywhere homepage, just underneath The Scoop.

In the meantime, please read the enclosed information and know that your health and well-
being continue to be our top priority.

We look forward to seeing you soon.


Sincerely,

Scott Garberding
Global Chief Manufacturing Officer – FCA

LET’S RESTART

We have been working diligently with the UAW and listening to your concerns during this production
pause to ensure each and every facility has been thoroughly cleaned and social distancing measures
have been put in place.

Here are details on what’s been done:


 Thoroughly cleaned and sanitized all areas
 Increased the number of hand sanitizer stations across all facilities
 Developed enhanced cleaning and sanitizing schedules for common and high traffic areas,
including turnstiles, restrooms, cafeterias, locker rooms and conference rooms
 Created protocols and visual management guides for social distancing in break areas and
cafeterias
 Redesigned job areas and work stations, where applicable, to allow for more social distancing
 Increased the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies including
gloves, masks and glasses
 Distributed cleaning supplies to all workstations so surfaces can be cleaned and sanitized
 Suspended meetings of more than eight employees at a time and transitioned to virtual
meetings, wherever possible
 Put new approval protocols in place for facility visitors

As you can see, a lot has already been done, but maintaining this level of cleanliness and preparedness
will be critical to keeping us all safe and healthy. It will require all of us to do our part as we move
forward.

What WE will do:


 New start-of-shift sanitation processes for each workstation will be implemented at the
beginning of each shift
 Implement a thorough daily cleaning schedule for each facility aligned with CDC and WHO
guidelines, which includes:
 Twice-per-shift cleaning of high traffic, high use areas as well as common touchpoints
including: turnstiles, interior doors, breakroom doors, conference tables, common
area tables, break room counters and breakroom chairs, conference room chairs,
locker room surfaces, stair rails, elevator buttons, microwave buttons, refrigerator
doors, ice machine exterior and drinking fountains
 Four-times-per-shift cleaning of restrooms, including toilets, sinks, counters,
horizontal surfaces and partitions
 Three-times-per-day cleaning of horizontal surfaces and medical contact points in the
medical areas

2
 Once-per-day cleaning of outbuilding doors and eyewash stations
 Once-per-week cleaning of guard rails
 Phone numbers will be posted in all restrooms so employees can report an issue with sanitary
standards or supplies.

What we are asking YOU to do:


 Complete the Daily Health Risk Assessment at home before reporting to work each day. The
mandatory self-screen procedure includes taking your temperature with the enclosed
temperature strips (or your own thermometer) and completing a self-screening
questionnaire required for entry into the building
 Each employee will be given masks daily that you will be required to wear when you are at
work not only to protect yourself, but those around you
 Company-provided face masks are to be worn by all employees at all times while in the plant.
Personal masks will not be allowed
 Safety glasses and appropriate gloves – such as nitrile, neoprene, polypropylene or vinyl –
should be worn while applying or cleaning with disinfectant spray
 Safety glasses also are required if you work within the 6-foot social distance

Enclosed with this packet is the information you will need to return to work. This information
includes:
 Daily Health Risk Assessment (temperature strip and self-screening questionnaire)
 Plant Safety Activities and Instructions
 Frequently Asked Questions

Through all of these actions and with your continued cooperation, we will restart with a safe, secure
and sanitized workplace. The Company is taking every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of
our most valuable asset – YOU.

DAILY HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the potential risk of exposure to our employees and visitors,
we are requiring everyone to complete a Daily Health Risk Assessment. You are required to complete the
assessment prior to reporting to your shift each day.
Based on current clinical information, older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical
conditions (e.g. high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and those whose immune
system is compromised by chemotherapy for cancer and other conditions requiring such therapy, etc.) might be
at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. If you are concerned about underlying medical conditions,
please consult with your personal medical health care provider before returning to work.
Self-Screening Procedure
1. Employee must take temperature using the reusable temperature strip provided or a
personal thermometer less than 2 hours prior to scheduled shift start. (Temperature strip instructions
below.)
2. Employee must fill out the self-screening questionnaire at home prior to scheduled shift start each day.
(Questionnaire document enclosed). Additional paper questionnaires will be available at your facility each
day.
 If the employee answers “YES” to any of the questions outlined in the self-screening
questionnaire, the employee is not authorized to report to work and must call in using the call in
procedure (1-800-810-2271)
 If the employee answers “No” to all questions outlined in the self-screening questionnaire, the
employee must bring the completed questionnaire to work to be reviewed prior to the start of shift
Temperature Strip Instructions
1. Hold the temperature strip at both ends, press firmly on dry forehead hold until colors stop changing
(about 15 seconds).
EXAMPLE
2. Read temperature strip as follows:
a. Green = exact temperature
b. Blue = add 1°F
c. Tan = subtract 1°F
3. Temperature strip should be used indoors at room temperature approximately 68°-86°F. Avoid direct
sunlight or strong lamps when taking temperature.
4. Do not take temperature if an individual has been eating, drinking or exercising within the last 30 minutes
or is just coming in from the outdoors.
5. Always consult your physician if a fever persists.
6. Temperature strip is reusable for up to 30 days. It may be cleaned with a soft cloth and should be stored
