Safety Improvements Health and Safety Committees enable real-time feedback, driving improvement in EHSS processes and outcomes Active Engagement Across our operations, we have effective and engaged Health and Safety Committees that include representatives from production and management. The initiative is managed by our EHSS team, but the exact structure and function is determined by teams on the ground depending on their location and function. We are striving to create a culture where we learn and improve by involving the people closest to the work. For example, in Fremont, our General Assembly 4 (GA4) - Model Y - EHS Committee is a combination of Production, Quality, and Production Control (PC) associates. The cross-functional nature of the membership is meant to encourage collaboration between all production teams who work in GA4. Activities undertaken by the committee include action tracking for top risks, safety audits, proactive safety discussions, recognition and spotlights for associate-led improvements and discussing concerns or risks brought up by the peer group. Safety members have also been trained on the Take Charge* program and have been leading the initial roll-out in GA4. Take Charge Program In Energy, Committees are both national and regional in nature across North America, APAC and EMEA. They include a variety of Take Charge is a new EHSS program designed to empower all Tesla formats to suit our geographically and functionally diverse business. Much like the GA4 team, the objectives of the committee employees to assist in building a strong safety culture by submitting center around improving EHS outcomes by conveying important information regarding incidents, new products or safety improvement ideas for environment, health, safety or security at techniques, and other relevant learnings for the organization. Meetings are centered on sharing feedback and improving our Tesla. processes. All EHS committees utilize real-time chat functionality that allow the teams to communicate issues and ideas and collaborate on health and safety improvements. Associates can take pictures of concerns and address issues in real time within the group chat. Site EHS Representative Program for Sales, Service and Delivery (SSD) To keep a geographically distributed and diverse organization informed and aligned, a Site EHS Representatives program has been instituted globally. Up to two EHS ambassadors are recruited at each SSD site. The Representatives help with safety and compliance tasks such as workplace inspections, disseminating EHS-related information, relaying feedback to regional EHS specialists, participating in monthly employee safety committee meetings and monthly regional EHS representative trainings and assisting with incident reporting and investigations. Site EHS Representatives attend monthly calls that center on education and sharing of issues and concerns. Safety Committee Meetings are held monthly in each region to facilitate information sharing and encourage collaboration. Participants in the monthly safety committees include technicians, Tesla Advisors, managers, engineers, business partners and regional leadership. Meetings cover company news, review of incidents and trends, educational content on relevant EHS topics, one-point lessons, upcoming EHS events, trainings, Safety Alerts, Take Charge and recognition. 63
