Ford Motor : Return To Work Manufacturing Playbook- Working Together to Remain Safe and Healthy At Work (opens in new window)

A NOTE TO ALL READERS

The health and safety of all who enter our workplace is our number one priority. The information contained in the Return To Work Playbook represents Ford's current practices regarding the recommended operation of its manufacturing and other facilities, where and when permitted by law, during this time of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Unless noted as a global policy, practices / protocols may vary by region, by location.

Ford is providing a copy of its current Manufacturing Playbook to ensure that suppliers, business partners, and third parties are aware of Ford's health and safety practices when onsite at Ford facilities or interacting with Ford personnel. The Playbook was developed specifically for Ford and is subject to change over time as expert recommendations, regulatory guidance, and industry practices mature.

Please Note: This playbook does not constitute legal advice, and you should not rely on the Playbook as best practices for your own workplace.

This Playbook is to be used as a Corporate and Recommended Practice Guideline and aligns with the Centers for Disease Control, Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and World Health Organization recommendations to the greatest extent possible.

This is a working document and will be updated to reflect changes in directives and introduce new recommended practices as they become available. It is intended to support the Return to Work Facility Team and to provide information and instruction for all who enter Ford facilities to keep themselves and others safe.

The Return To Work Playbook provides general recommendations for use in all Ford facilities.

Because there may be circumstances unique to a location, there may be some cases in which a Ford facility must adapt the recommendations of the Playbook to address that facility's specific requirements. Such exceptions must be authorized by senior leadership.

Additionally, all facilities must comply with all applicable laws, meaning that if there is a conflict between the recommendations in the Return To Work Playbook and the applicable law, the facility must follow the applicable law.

MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

Plant and Building Managers and other Business Leaders,

It is our hope that you and your families are all doing well. While we prepare our facilities for a safe return to work, we want to extend our deepest thoughts and prayers to those who have been impacted by the pandemic in our workplaces and in our communities. The purpose of this message is to share with you the steps that have been taken and the steps that we will take together to stop the spread of COVID-19.

As we continue to evolve to a new normal, you should know that the changes we are implementing are the result of hours of collaboration and discussions with our Union Partners, Human Resources, Manufacturing Operations, Corporate Medical and Safety, Ford Land, Labor Affairs, Purchasing, and many other groups. We want to thank the organizations who have worked collaboratively to create a "Playbook" which provides an awareness of new health and wellbeing protocols, readiness for our workforce and steps to ensure that our facilities are ready to begin operations.

The Return To Work Playbook is not a one-size-fits-all approach; however, it is based upon the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and the World Health Organization (WHO)

• • Cleaning and disinfecting of workstations
