IIPP Addendum to Prevent COVID-19

Purpose: It is the policy of Kimco Staffing Services, Inc. “Kimco” to protect the safety of our employees and to comply with California Labor Code 6400 which requires that every employer must furnish employment and a place of employment that is safe and healthful for the employees therein.

Scope: This policy applies to all Kimco employees that may be exposed to the coronavirus as a result of the performance of their duties. Contained herein are general prevention best practices. Employees covered by the Aerosol Transmissible Disease Standard, 8 CCR 5199, must also comply with our separate ATD prevention policy and procedures. This addendum to the Kimco Injury and Illness Prevention Program is a framework applicable during the current (COVID-19) public health emergency. The protocols outlined in this document will be modified based on the ongoing and updated guidance from the CDC, state and local public health agencies, and Kimco operations.

What is Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)?: On February 11, 2020 the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The name of the new disease is coronavirus disease 2019, abbreviated as COVID-19. There are many types of human coronaviruses including some that commonly cause mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses. COVID-19 is a new disease, caused by a novel (or new) coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans. COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Infected people have had a wide range of symptoms reported – from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19: Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with the below symptoms could have COVID-19:

• Fever or chills • Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Fatigue • Muscle or body aches • Headache • New loss of taste or smell • Sore throat • Congestion or runny nose • Nausea or vomiting • Diarrhea

It is important to note that laboratory testing is necessary to confirm an infection. COVID-19 Transmission: The virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can enter the respiratory tract (mouth, nose, and lungs) of people who are nearby and cause infection. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (i.e., within six feet)

Page | 2 IIPP Addendum Covid-19 Prevention November 30, 2020

while not wearing face coverings. Although it is not considered to the be the primary way the virus spreads, transmission may be possible by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.

Infection Prevention Measures: Kimco, to the extent possible, will implement the following guidelines to mitigate employee exposure to the coronavirus virus in the Kimco workplace: 1. The use of video and/or telephonic meetings, and the establishment of guidelines for maintaining a

distance of at least six feet between persons, whenever possible.

2. Distribute posters, notices, and/or signage to each work site to be displayed in common areas that provide physical distancing guidelines.

3. Encourage sick employees to stay home.

4. If an employee becomes symptomatic of COVID-19 while at work, they will be asked to leave the

workplace and seek medical treatment, depending on the symptoms.

5. Kimco will adhere to state guidance and local public health agency recommendations regarding the prearrangement of office and workplace furniture to maintain physical distancing, as much as possible.

6. To the extent supplies are in stock and readily available for distribution, employees will have access

to appropriate hygiene products in the workplace.

7. Require employees and visitors to use face coverings. Face coverings must be worn while working indoors and whenever a Kimco employee working outdoors comes within six feet of another employee. The face covering requirement does not apply to employees who have trouble breathing or who have a medical or mental health condition that prevents the use of a face covering. Employees exempted from wearing face coverings due to a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability shall wear an effective non-restrictive alternative, such as a face shield with a drape on the bottom, if their condition or disability permits it.

Note: Face-coverings are not Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), but combined with physical distancing they help prevent infected persons without symptoms or who are presymptomatic from unknowingly spreading the coronavirus.

8. Kimco will place signs and/or instructions in common areas (e.g., reception area, break rooms, public

common areas, etc.) to communicate physical distancing requirements and to provide other COVID-19 infection prevention information to the general public entering the Kimco worksite.

9. Kimco will regularly evaluate the workplace for compliance with this addendum.

Employee Responsibilities: During the COVID-19 public health emergency, Kimco employees have a collective responsibility to ensure the protection of all people in the workplace to comply with all Kimco and Client worksite policies and the latest local public health guidelines to mitigate coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to themselves and anyone visiting the worksite.

Page | 3 IIPP Addendum Covid-19 Prevention November 30, 2020

1. Employees must self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms prior to leaving home for their shift. Employees must follow the CDC guidelines for self-screening at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html. An employee must stay home if they are sick, follow public health agency guidelines, and contact their administrator or supervisor for further instructions.

2. Employees who are out ill with fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other acute respiratory symptoms that affect normal breathing who have not been tested for the COVID-19 virus or who have tested negative for the COVID-19 virus, must consult with their physician before physically returning to work.

3. Employees who test positive for the COVID-19 virus must not return to work until the following occurs:

At least 24 hours have passed without a fever (without the use of fever-reducing medications)

and no acute respiratory illness symptoms; and At least 10 days have passed since the symptom onset; and Other symptoms have improved

4. Employees who return to work following an illness must promptly report any recurrence of

symptoms to their immediate supervisor.

5. Employees shall practice physical distancing by using video or telephonic meetings as much as practicable, and maintaining a distance of at least six feet between persons at the workplace whenever possible.

6. Employees must avoid shared workspaces (desks, offices, and cubicles) and work items (phones, computers, other work tools, and equipment) whenever possible. If employees must share workspaces, clean and disinfect shared workspaces and work items before and after use.

7. Employees shall wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and/or use hand sanitizer

after interacting with people and after contacting shared surfaces or objects.

8. Employees shall cover coughs and sneezes and avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

9. Employees must avoid sharing personal items with coworkers (i.e., dishes, cups, utensils, towels). 10. Employees shall notify their administrator or supervisor if any washing facilities do not have an

adequate supply of suitable cleansing agents, water, single-use towels, or blowers. 11. No employee shall bring cleaning products and/or disinfectants into the workplace that have not been

approved by the Kimco Corporate Risk Manager.

Page | 4 IIPP Addendum Covid-19 Prevention November 30, 2020

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): While engineering and administrative controls are considered more effective in minimizing exposure to COVID-19, personal protective equipment (PPE) may also be needed to prevent certain exposures. While correctly using PPE can help prevent some exposures, it should not take the place of other prevention strategies. Examples of PPE include gloves, goggles, face shields, and respiratory protection, when appropriate. During an outbreak of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, recommendations for PPE specific to occupations or job tasks may change depending on the updated risk assessments for workers, and information on PPE effectiveness in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Cleaning and Disinfection: Kimco recognizes that high-traffic and high-touch common areas in the Kimco workplace need, to the extent possible, cleaning and disinfecting to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Kimco will assign personnel and establish routine schedules to clean and disinfect common surfaces and objects in the Kimco workplace. This includes, but is not limited to, copymachines, containers, counters, tables, desks, chairs, benches, door handles, knobs, drinking fountains, refrigerators, vending machines, restroom and bathroom surfaces, and trash cans. The process of disinfecting includes providing disinfecting products that are EPA approved for use against the virus that causes COVID-19 and following the manufacturer's instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g., safety requirements, PPE, concentration, contact time.)

Responding to Confirmed or Suspected COVID-19 Cases: Kimco will consult with state and local public health agencies for mitigation practices and response protocols. Kimco offers testing to all employees who are exposed to a COVID-19 case in the workplace, at no cost and during their working hours. In the case of multiple infections or a major outbreak, in accordance with Title 8, 3205.1, Kimco will initiate regular workplace testing for employees remaining in the “exposed workplace”, (at least weekly depending on the magnitude of the outbreak). Testing will be provided in a manner that ensures employee confidentiality. Information on benefits available to employees will be provided at the time of testing and is also available upon request.

Kimco will follow the California Public Health Department strategies, listed below, for returning employees to work. Note that some variation may occur depending on our local public health department and unique circumstances.

Employees Minimum Criteria for Returning to Work

Symptomatic Positive

Employees with symptoms who are laboratory confirmed to have COVID-19

1. At least 24 hours have passed since resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and

2. At least 10 days have passed since symptom onset; and 3. Other symptoms have improved

Asymptomatic Positive

Employees who never had symptoms and are

A minimum of 10 days has passed since the date of their first positive COVID-19 test. If they develop symptoms, then the criteria for laboratory-confirmed cases with symptoms apply.

Page | 5 IIPP Addendum Covid-19 Prevention November 30, 2020

laboratory-confirmed to have COVID-19

Symptomatic Negative

Employees who had symptoms of COVID-19 but test result returned negative

Use the same criteria for return to work as laboratory-confirmed cases.

Asymptomatic Negative

Employees who never had symptoms but were tested due to close contact with a laboratory-confirmed case-patient and were negative

Employees should quarantine at home for 14 days after the last known close contact with the case-patient. Symptoms can develop even after testing negative within 14 days after exposure. Our local health department may consider allowing an earlier return to work only for an employee in a critical infrastructure industry in which the essential operations of the workplace would be compromised by quarantine of the employee and no alternate staff can perform the same role.

Symptomatic Untested

Employees who had symptoms of COVID-19 but were not tested

Testing is encouraged. If an employee cannot be tested, use the same criteria for return to work as laboratory-confirmed cases.

Asymptomatic Untested

Employees who had close contact to a laboratory-confirmed case patient at work, home, or in the community and do not have symptoms.

OR

Employees who refuse or are unable to be tested after close contact with a laboratory-confirmed case, despite recommendation for testing from local health department or healthcare provider, and do not have symptoms.

Employees should be quarantined at home for 14 days after the last known close contact with the case-patient. Testing is highly recommended; if testing has not occurred, our local health department may consider allowing an employee who had close contact to a confirmed case to continue to work only in a critical infrastructure industry in which the essential operations of the workplace would be compromised by quarantine of the employee and no alternate staff can perform the same role.

Employees who develop symptoms of COVID-19 while in quarantine should contact their healthcare provider. Even if they are not tested, the same criteria for return to work should be used as laboratory-confirmed cases.

If an employee tests positive for COVID-19, Kimco will inform immediate coworkers of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). Kimco will also investigate any confirmed COVID-19 illness to determine and mititgate any work-related factors that may have contributed to the risk of infection.

Page | 6 IIPP Addendum Covid-19 Prevention November 30, 2020

Cleaning and Disinfecting Protocols Following a Confirmed COVID-19 Case 1. Temporarily close the general area where the infected employee or guest worked/visited until

cleaning is completed. 2. If possible, open outside doors and windows and use ventilating fans to increase air circulation in the

area. Wait 24 hours or as long as practical before cleaning and disinfecting the area. 3. Conduct deep cleaning of the entire general area where the infected employee worked and may have

been, including breakrooms, restrooms and travel areas, with a cleaning agent approved for use by the EPA against the coronavirus.

4. Custodial personnel cleaning the area must be equipped with the proper personal protective

equipment for COVID-19 disinfection (disposable gown, gloves, eye protection, or mask, if required).

Communication: Communication between employees and Kimco on matters relating to COVID-19 mitigation and response is an important aspect to ensure employee safety while in the workplace. Therefore, Kimco has a communication system managed and facilitated by the Human Resources Director that is intended to accomplish clear and concise exchange of information by providing a single point of contact for administrators and supervisors.

1. All Kimco employees are encouraged to report to their immediate administrator or supervisor concerns regarding COVID-19 mitigation practices or possible COVID-19 exposure in the workplace.

2.
