RE:      Loss Prevention Responsibilities

The following Statement of Loss Prevention Responsibilities must be read
and signed by each employee, and a copy of the signed memo submitted to
the Human Resources Department.

The single most important asset of [Company] is its people. It is our
responsibility to protect this valued asset by providing understanding,
direction, and support for high standards of business conduct.

All of [Company]'s assets - merchandise, property, information, services
and people-are intended to be used in a manner that contributes to
sales, profits, and customer satisfaction.  Using, diverting, damaging,
or taking a company asset for personal use or benefit is an abuse of the
business' intended use of that asset.

The purpose of this Statement of Loss Prevention Responsibilities is to
help [Company] people make correct decisions and judgments regarding
activities that are considered workplace abuse.  It is not a policy for
running the business, but a guideline to help each employee define
workplace abuse in their area of responsibility.  The list of examples
is not all-inclusive.  Each employee should add to it from their
understanding of workplace abuse.

Definition of WORKPLACE ABUSE:

Workplace abuse is any illegal, dishonest, irresponsible, or
counterproductive act that causes loss or harm to a company, its
employees, or customers.

Examples of WORKPLACE ABUSE:
1.  Unauthorized taking or use of company merchandise, cash, materials,
equipment, or services.

6.  Giving unauthorized discounts or buying merchandise at discount for
a person not authorized to receive a discount.
7.  Using, possessing, selling, or being under the influence of illegal
drugs or alcohol on company premises or during work hours.
8.  Borrowing or using company property, vehicles, or tools without
proper authorization.
9.  Unauthorized acceptance or solicitation of gifts from suppliers.
10.  Operating or having a major investment or relationship in a
business that competes with [Company].
11.  Falsifying payroll time records, or other company records.
12.  Unauthorized use or dissemination of company proprietary
information.
13.  Intentionally allowing merchandise to leave the physical control of
the company premises without proper paperwork or financial transaction.
14.  Failure to report known workplace abuse.

company property.
