SUPPLEMENTAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

The Secretary of Labor, United States Department of Labor (the "Secretary") and United Parcel Service ("UPS") have reached a full and complete settlement of compliance issues arising from monitoring inspections conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") under the corporate-wide settlement agreement concerning hazardous materials ("CSA") entered into by the parties on February 27, 1992.

I.

A. On February 27, 1992, as the result, of eleven enforcement actions brought by the Secretary concerning compliance issues under 29 CFR 1910.120(q), the parties entered into a CSA defining UPS' responsibilities in dealing with emergency response to damaged packages which might present hazardous conditions to employees. The CSA became a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and, upon the Secretary's petition, formed the basis of a consent decree entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on April 27, 1993.

B. As the result of examination of documents supplied by UPS and numerous monitoring inspections conducted by OSHA in the past twelve months at UPS facilities, including inspections at Lenexa, Kansas, and Fort Collins, Colorado, which experienced significant damaged package spill events, OSHA believes that UPS did not implement fully the CSA.

C. UPS believes that its reasonable efforts to achieve substantial compliance with the CSA are demonstrated by its training of more than 200,000 affected employees in the UPS Damaged Package Response Procedure ("Procedure") approved by OSHA in the CSA; UPS' purchase of extensive amounts of personal protective equipment, decontamination equipment, and other materials necessary to implement the Procedure, and the recent audits of substantially all of its affected facilities conducted by UPS and independent consultants retained by UPS to identify any shortcomings in UPS' compliance effort.

D. To avoid litigation, the parties agree to resolve their dispute regarding compliance with the CSA in the manner set forth herein and to submit this Supplemental Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit for entry of a supplemental order.

II.

COMPLIANCE

A. UPS will do the following:

(1) examine the effectiveness of its corporate-wide efforts to implement the CSA and this Agreement;

(2) conduct an annual audit, using the audit protocol described in the guide attached hereto as Appendix A, of no less than 50 UPS facilities under federal OSHA jurisdiction to determine compliance with the Procedure. The first audit will begin no later than sixteen (16) months after execution of this Agreement;

(3) obtain from the center or hub manager at each facility covered by this Agreement a description of measures taken at that facility to contact outside responders to discuss conditions and procedures at that facility. Descriptions indicating such contacts at each facility in accordance with the Procedure shall be provided to OSHA no later than sixty days following execution of this Agreement.

B. UPS corporate headquarters will prepare a report within one month after the conclusion of the first annual audit, describing the company's efforts at compliance and assessing the overall effectiveness of the Procedure based upon, among other criteria, analysis of responses to actual spills occurring in UPS facilities. This report will be maintained at UPS headquarters and will be provided to OSHA upon request and, pursuant to Article XVIII of UPS' Collective Bargaining Agreement with the IBT, to the collectively bargained UPS-Teamster Health and Safety Committee.

III.

SETTLEMENT PAYMENT

A. UPS agrees to pay $3,000,000.00 to OSHA within thirty days after execution of this Agreement in full and complete settlement of any claim by the Secretary related to the CSA from its effective date until the date of signing this Agreement.

B. OSHA may, in its sole discretion, require payment of an additional contingent amount of $3,000,000.00 to OSHA in the event UPS "fails" an independent audit as set forth in paragraph IV below. Such payment shall be OSHA's sole remedy for any failure to comply with this Agreement from the date of execution of this Agreement until November 30, 1994. Such payment shall be made no later than one month after a written demand from OSHA is received by UPS.

IV.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT

UPS has asserted to the Secretary, based on extensive internal audits of substantially all of the 1,175 facilities covered by the CSA and under state plans and verification by an independent outside auditor of UPS' findings with respect to a statistically significant sample of 125 such facilities, that it is in substantial compliance with the Procedure and the terms of the CSA. To further verify compliance with the Procedure, the parties have agreed upon an audit process to be conducted by an independent auditor and funded by UPS as follows:

A. An independent auditor acceptable to both parties shall be selected as follows: UPS shall make a selection of such an auditor within twenty (20) days after execution of this Agreement. The auditor shall be one which has not previously performed work for UPS related to the CSA. After making the selection, UPS will immediately notify the Secretary of the identity of the selected auditor. OSHA will respond to UPS with its comments and/or decision on the auditor within five (5) working days. If OSHA rejects an independent auditor submitted by UPS, then UPS will continue to submit successive selections of an auditor during successive twenty-day periods from such rejections until OSHA accepts a selection. OSHA's consent to any independent auditor suggested by UPS shall not be unreasonably withheld.

B. Within twenty days from the signing of this Agreement, UPS will provide OSHA with a list of all facilities subject to federal OSHA jurisdiction which are covered by this Agreement, sorted by the following types: "hubs," non-hub "centers," and other facilities such as airport gateways and air ramps. Within ten days after selection of the independent auditor pursuant to paragraph IV.A above, the independent auditor shall provide UPS and OSHA with a sampling plan and the number of facilities to be randomly selected from each category. The independent auditor will then randomly select a statistically significant sample pursuant to the sampling plan and conduct an audit at these facilities pursuant to the audit protocol attached as Appendix A, Part One by no later than September 30, 1994.

C. The auditor shall also conduct an evaluation of completed Hazardous Materials Incident Response Reports from the same statistically significant sample of facilities derived in paragraph IV.B above to assess both the adequacy of the reports and the facility responses under the Agreement to damaged package incidents involving hazardous materials. The audit shall include all such reports completed after thirty days after execution of this Agreement until the date of the facility audit. This audit shall follow the protocol attached as Appendix A, Part Two.

D. "Failure" for purposes of the contingent payment set forth in paragraph III.B above shall be determined as follows:

(1) The scores of Parts One and Two of the independent audit described above shall be combined to create a final audit score. The score for Part One will constitute 75 percent of the final audit score, and the score for Part Two will constitute the remaining 25 percent. If more than ten percent (10%) of the responses to the combined audit are insufficient, UPS will "fail" the audit.*

________
FOOTNOTE(*)  The "failure" rate in this audit only defines the conditions of
UPS' potential liability under paragraph III.B above, and does not
necessarily constitute an acceptable level of compliance for any other
purpose under the Occupational Safety and Health Act.  The "failure" rate
merely acknowledges variables which are inherent in this type of audit.
(2) "Failure" for purposes of the contingent payment will not occur on a facility basis. Rather "failure" will occur when more than ten percent (10%) of the responses throughout the audit (all facilities audited) are determined to be inadequate. In the event that an individual facility audit reveals inadequate responses greater than five percent (5%) (facility "failure"), UPS will determine the reason for this "failure" and ensure that corrective action is taken within two weeks in the facility.

E. Within one month after the end of the audit period, the auditor will provide to OSHA and UPS the results of the audit, including a determination of whether UPS has "failed" as detailed above and a detailed analysis for this conclusion.

V.

EXTENSION OF TERM OF CSA

Referencing paragraph VI of the CSA, the parties hereby agree that the CSA shall remain in effect until November 30, 1994. UPS shall continue to utilize the Procedure for this period. Thereafter, UPS shall continue to utilize the Procedure or an equivalent as set forth in the CSA. In the event UPS determines that it wishes to utilize a different but equivalent procedure after November 30, 1994, it shall notify the Secretary and the UPS-Teamster Health and Safety Committee of its intention to do so. All provisions of the CSA not directly amended by this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during this period.

VI.

SUBSTANTIVE CORRECTIVE ACTION

Within thirty days after execution of this Agreement, UPS will implement utilization of the attached Hazardous Materials Incident Response Report (Appendix B) at all its facilities. During the term of this Agreement, completed report forms shall be sent to corporate UPS in Atlanta within one week of the relevant spill incident date. Corporate UPS in Atlanta shall evaluate the adequacy of the completion of each report and whether the response described therein is in accordance with the Procedure. Completed incident response forms shall be sent to OSHA's Office of Compliance Programs on the first day of each month, ending December 1, 1994.

VII.

INSPECTIONS BY OSHA

Recognizing that the independent auditor will be conducting monitoring of UPS' compliance with the Agreement until September 30, 1994, the Secretary agrees that he will not conduct any general schedule monitoring inspections of the subject matter of this Agreement for that period. However, the Secretary may conduct all other types of inspections of UPS facilities, including complaint, fatality and catastrophe inspections dealing with the instant subject matter. After September 30, 1994, the Secretary may conduct general schedule monitoring inspections to confirm continued compliance with the Agreement and the program.

VIII.

EFFECT ON FUTURE LITIGATION

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any arguments or defenses that either party may assert in future litigation.

Instructions

GENERAL:

* "Yes" is a positive response; "no" is negative; "NA" is not applicable. "NA" responses can only be given where indicated on the audit form, and are not counted in the scoring.

* Negative answers represent the most acceptable response, but not necessarily the only acceptable response. The auditor must examine each individual response to determine whether it reflects comprehension of the answer reflected in the audit guide, and give "yes" credit when a reasonably equivalent answer has been given. The auditor should not correct interviewees or prompt them to elicit the correct answer.

* No partial credit shall be awarded for incomplete responses. When answers contain multiple parts, such as "Don't touch the package, leave the immediate area and contact my supervisor" (see question 24), credit should not be awarded unless all required elements (or their reasonable equivalents) are included in the response. On the other hand, when the guide indicates more than one acceptable response separated by "OR," full credit should be awarded if either alternative answer (or its reasonable equivalent) is provided.

* Sections III, IV, V, VI, and VII of Part One call, respectively, for interviews of five inside manual hourly employees (one-hour trained), five package drivers (one-hour trained), three inside manual hourly employees (twelve-hour trained), three management non-responders (one-hour trained), and three management designated responders (twelve-hour trained). If the audit team determines that a larger number of employees in any of these categories is necessary to obtain a representative sample at a larger facility, the team may interview more than the indicated number. In scoring the audit, however, the auditor should not increase the weight given to a particular question merely because a larger number of employees was interviewed. Instead, the value of each individual response should be reduced by the percentage necessary to maintain the same overall weight for the question. Thus, for example, if a question called for interviews of five employees but ten employees were actually interviewed, then each response should be given one-half the weight of a normal response (5 divided by 10).

INTERVIEWS:

* All employees selected for interviews are to be randomly selected by the audit team.

* All interviews are one-to-one interviews and are not to be done as group interviews.

SCORING (INDIVIDUAL FACILITY AUDITS):

* Part One: The total number of correct responses to the questions in Part One will be determined for the facility being audited. Likewise, the total number of all audited responses (both yes and no responses) will be determined for the facility. The ratio of the correct responses divided by all audited responses will be the total facility score for Part One.

                                                Auditor Name (Print)

* Part Two, Section I: The total number of forms filled out completely will be determined for the facility being audited. The total number of forms audited at this facility will also be determined. The ratio of complete forms divided by total audited forms at the facility will be the total facility score for Part Two, Section I.

* Part Two, Section II: The total number of forms revealing appropriate responses will be determined for the facility being audited. The total number of forms audited in this facility (which in all cases will be the same number of forms as audited in Part Two, Section I) will also be determined. The ratio of forms with appropriate responses divided by all audited forms will be the total facility score for Part Two, Section II.

* Facility Score: The score for each facility audit will be a percentage based 75% on the score for Part One and 25% on the combined scores for Part Two, Sections I and II. The scores for sections I and II of Part Two will be combined by adding the total number of complete forms and the total number of forms revealing appropriate responses at the facility and dividing the result by two times the total number of forms audited at the facility.

SCORING (CORPORATE-WIDE AUDIT):

* Part One: The total number of correct responses to the questions in Part One for all audited facilities will be determined. Likewise, the total number of all audited responses (both yes and no responses) in Part One will be determined. The ratio of the total number of correct responses for all facilities divided by the total number of audited responses for all facilities will be the total corporate-wide score for Part One.

* Part Two, Section I: The total number of audited forms that were filled out completely in Part Two, Section I for all facilities will be determined. The ratio of this number divided by the total number of audited forms in Part Two, Section I for all audited facilities will be the total corporate-wide score for Part Two, Section I.

* Part Two, Section II: The total number of audited forms revealing appropriate responses in Part Two, Section II for all facilities will be determined. The ratio of this number divided by the total number of audited forms in Part Two, Section II for all audited facilities (which in all cases will be the same number of forms audited at all facilities in Part Two, Section I) will be the total corporate-wide score for Part Two, Section II.

* Corporate-Wide Score: The corporate-wide score for the audit will be a percentage based 75% on the score for Part One and 25% on the combined score for Part Two, Sections I and II. The scores for sections I and II of Part Two will be combined by adding the total number of complete forms and the total number of forms revealing appropriate responses for all facilities and dividing the result by two times the total number of audited forms at all facilities.
