SITE SAFETY PLAN AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Site Safety Plan Elements:

Describe how Seller and the Seller’s Contractors plan to comply with Prudent Electrical Practices, as defined below, in their design, development, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the Project.

“Prudent Electrical Practices” means those practices, methods, applicable codes and acts engaged in or approved by a significant portion of the electric power industry during the relevant time period, or any of the practices, methods and acts which, in the exercise of reasonable judgment in light of the facts known at the time a decision is made, could have been expected to accomplish a desired result at a reasonable cost consistent with good business practices, reliability, safety and expedition. Prudent Electrical Practices are not intended to be limited to the optimum practices, methods, or acts to the exclusion of others, but rather to those practices, methods and acts generally accepted or approved by a significant portion of the electric power or energy storage industry in the relevant region, during the relevant time period, as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

Prudent Electrical Practices also includes taking reasonable steps to ensure that:

1. Safeguards are implemented and maintained for the Project and at the applicable site and are sufficient to address reasonably foreseeable incidents;

2. Equipment, material, and supplies are sufficient and accessible to operate the Project safety and reliably;

3. Operating personnel are trained, equipped, and capable of responsible operation and maintenance of the Project and the applicable site, including identifying and responding to System Emergencies, Emergencies, or Exigent Circumstances originating from or impacting the Project (each as defined in the CAES Agreement);

4. The Project’s material components and control systems are designed, manufactured, and configured to meet the standard of durability and safety generally used for electric power and/or energy storage facilities operating in the relevant region;

5. The Project is appropriately designed, developed, constructed, operated, maintained, monitored, and tested to ensure it continues to function safely, reliably, and consistent with the intended design specifications, applicable laws and permits, and over the complete range of environmental conditions reasonably expected to occur at the applicable site.

Safety Programs:

Describe the Seller’s and the Seller’s Contractor(s)’ safety programs and policies. Describe compliance with any safety-related industry standards or any industry certifications (American National Standards Institute (ANSI), International Organization of Standardization (ISO), etc.), if applicable.

Project Description:

·  Manufacturer’s datasheet, model numbers, etc.

·  Technical specifications

·  Design specifications

·  Equipment certifications (e.g., UL)

·  Approximate volumes and types of hazardous materials expected to be at the applicable site

Codes, Standards, and Regulations:

Identify the applicable safety-related Codes, Standards, and Regulations (CSR) which govern the design, development, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the Project using the proposed technology.

Site Safety Management:

Identify and describe the hazards associated and risks present at the applicable site. Describe the Seller’s applicable site-specific safety plans, risk mitigation, safeguards and layers of protection, including but not necessarily limited to:

·  Engineering controls

·  Work practices

·  Administrative controls

·  Personal protective equipment and procedures

·  Incident response and recovery plans
