GENERAL POLICY

Dee Electronics provides for its employees a suitable work environment (to include physical, environmental, noise, temperature, lighting, or weather) needed to achieve conformity to product requirements.

PROCEDURAL POLICIES

1. Human factors

1.1 The President, CEO/Treasurer, Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Sales, and departmental managers are responsible for ensuring suitable social and psychological conditions in the workplace. This is to include such aspects as interaction and communication between employees, employee harassment, conflict resolution, and so forth. Relevant workplace policies are implemented mainly through our Employee Manual (issued to every employee), training and awareness programs and, where necessary, disciplinary actions. (Refer to Operational Procedure QOP-62-01, Training and Awareness.)

2. Physical factors

2.1 The President and executive management team are responsible for identifying those operations where extreme environmental conditions could impact quality performance of personnel and result in product nonconformities. Where appropriate, limits of exposure and/or mitigating measures shall be defined and implemented for these operations.

2.2 From an organization and cleanliness as well as safety standpoint, DEE utilizes the 5S process (Industry standard organization, sort, streamline, shine, standardize, sustain), and has assigned a 5s Champion. The 5s Champion will be the “go to” person or anything and everything relating to 5s. The workforce as a whole is taught the ideology of 5s organization and does their best to adhere to it’s standards; however, stations are missed, and sometimes improvements can be made. In the situation where an improvement can be made, because we have the ideology that everyone has an 5s mind, any worker can go to the 5s champion and recommend a workstation to be organized. The 5s champion will then review and determine if improvements can be made, and, if the time to do so is worth the reward.
a) Workstations are reviewed on a monthly basis for any 5s improvements by Production Lead and Production Mgmt

3. Health and safety

3.1 Health and safety management system is independent from the quality management system. It is administrated by the President and executive management team. DEE has an Environmental, Health, and Safety Plan document.
