Rango Construction Company

Anti Money Laundering Policy

Introduction

The most important means by which Rango can avoid criminal exposure to third parties (service providers, suppliers, business partners, companies in consortium, representatives, temporary advisors or any other person or company that act on behalf of Rango, directly or indirectly) who use the resources of the company for illicit purposes is to have a clear and concise understanding of the third parties’s practices. The adoption of an effective “Know Your Customer” policy will enhance the company’s ability to detect suspicious activities by customers in a timely manner. It will also facilitate compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.

In formulating an effective KYC policy, it is important to note that appearances can be deceptive. Potential business partners of Rango may appear legitimate but in reality be conducting illicit activities through the company, while legitimate business partners may be turned away from the company because their activities are perceived to have a criminal tone. The policy must therefore, at a minimum, contain a clear statement of management’s overall objectives, expectations and establish specific line responsibilities.

Objectives

The objectives of Rango’s KYC policy are as follows:
• Ensure that Rango is in full compliance with all statutes and regulations and adheres to sound and recognized practices.
• Ensure that Rango will not become a victim of illegal activities perpetrated by its clients.
• Ensure an effective policy that protects the good name and reputation of Rango in accordance with the best corporate governance and Compliance practices, ensuring the complete and effective awareness of its clients and their activities, and establishing criteria of ethical, professional and good faith conduct.
• Ensure that the policy does not undermine the cordial relationship between Rango and its credible customers.

Scope

This policy is applicable to Rango Construction Company Ltd as well as Third Parties, who act for and/or represent Rango in its activities.

Content of the Policy

The following principles will be incorporated into the business practices of Rango:
• Rango will make a reasonable effort to determine the true identity of all third parties requesting the company’s services.
• Rango will take particular care to identify the ownership of all contract agreement. Rango will put in place a process for the identification of unusual transactions and activities that are inconsistent with the third party’s known business. In this regard, the company will establish a set of procedures that facilitates the collation of sufficient information for each customer. The primary objective of such procedures is to enable Rango predict with relative certainty the types of transactions in which a customer is likely to engage.
• Once identified, Rango will report suspicious transactions to appropriate personnel as directed by their businesses’ policies and procedures.
• Establish internal training programs.
• Rango shall not deal with ‘shell companies, i.e. companies incorporated in a jurisdiction in which it has no physical presence and is not affiliated with regulated sectors.

Anti-money Laundering Policies, Procedures and Regulatory Requirements

Definition of money laundering and terrorist financing
Money laundering is a process in which assets obtained or generated by criminal activity are moved or concealed to obscure their link with the crime. Perpetrators of the crime find ways to launder the funds in order to use them without drawing the attention of authorities.
Money laundering empowers corruption and organized crime where corrupt public officials and criminals are able to launder proceeds from crimes, bribes, kick-backs, public funds and on some occasion, even development loans from international financial institutions. Organized criminal groups want to be able to launder the proceeds of drug trafficking and commodity smuggling through the financial systems without a trace. In the modern day definition, money laundering now covers various offences including child trafficking, prostitution, etc. Generally, money laundering has three stages;

Placement

The physical disposal of cash/property derived from criminal activity. The purpose of this stage is to introduce proceeds into the traditional or non–traditional financial system without attracting attention e.g. purchase of artwork, cash deposits, casinos etc.

Layering

This involves separating source of proceeds from ownership by changing the form. It is designed to hamper audit trail e.g. complex wire transfers, resell of assets/properties, purchase of multiple investment-linked life policies to disguise origin of funds etc.

Integration

Re–channeling the laundered funds back to the financial system as legitimate funds.
The degree of sophistication and complexity in the money laundering scheme is infinite and is limited only by the creative imagination and expertise of criminals. Terrorist activities are sometimes funded from the proceeds of illegal activities.
Although often linked in legislation and regulation, terrorist financing and money laundering are conceptual opposites. Money laundering is the process where cash raised from criminal activities is made to look legitimate for re-integration into the financial system, whereas terrorist financing cares little about the source of the funds, but it is what the funds are to be used for that defines its scope.
In recent years, the international community has become more aware of the dangers that money laundering and terrorist financing poses in all these areas, and many governments and jurisdictions have committed themselves to taking action. The United Nations and other international organizations like Financial Action Task Force (FATF) are committed to helping governments in any way they can.

The Implication and Impact of Money Laundering on Rango

Where Anti-Money Laundering rules apply, compliance by the stakeholders of Rango Construction Company is mandatory. Four key principles apply:
• Staff and key stakeholders of Rango should not engage in money laundering activities knowingly.
• Staff and key stakeholders of Rango Construction Company should not assist others in engaging in money laundering activities.
• Rango and their personnel should not interfere with an authorized official investigation of money laundering.
• Personnel of Rango must implement appropriate processes, systems and controls to ensure compliance with local AML laws and regulations.

Failure of Rango and its staff to observe these principles damages the reputation, brand and goodwill of both Rango and the network of Rango Construction Company, and risk exposure to criminal prosecution and or regulatory action.

The Importance of Money Laundering To the Individual Employee and Rango Construction Company Ltd

In adhering to this Policy, as with every aspect of its business, Rango expects that its employees will conduct themselves in accordance with the highest ethical standards. Rango also expects its employees to conduct business in accordance with applicable money laundering laws. Rango employees shall not knowingly provide assistance to individuals who attempts to violate or avoid money laundering laws or this Policy.
Money Laundering laws apply not only to criminals who try to launder their ill-gotten gains, but also to institutions and their employees who participate in those transactions, if the employees know that the property is criminally derived.
“Knowledge” includes the concepts of “willful blindness” and “conscious avoidance of knowledge”. Thus, employees whose suspicions are aroused, but who then deliberately fail to make further inquiries, wishing to remain ignorant, may be considered under the law to have the requisite “knowledge”.

Rango Construction employees who suspect money laundering activities should refer the matter to appropriate personnel as directed by their businesses’ policies and procedures.
Failure to adhere to this Policy may subject Rango employees to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Violations of money laundering laws also may subject Rango employees to imprisonment and, together with Rango Construction, to fines, forfeiture of assets, and other serious punishment.

As a company, the under-listed policies are put in place to guard against signing on persons and organizations involved in money laundering activities:

Principle of “Know Your Customer” (KYC)
• Customers are required to complete forms that captures information that will enable the Company to access the money laundering risk of the customer or the transaction.
• Relationship with the customer should not be established until we are convinced that the customer is not involved in money laundering activities.
• For all high risk businesses, site visitation of client’s address shall be carried out.
• The form shall capture enough KYC details to ensure that organizations or persons involved in money laundering activity are not signed on as customers.
• The company’s relationship managers and other officers of the company should be trained to be able to recognize suspicious transactions, such that timely return could be rendered to the regulatory authorities.
• Money laundering training should also be part of courses conducted for new staff members of the company.
• Suspicious transactions shall be reported to regulatory authorities as soon as such are detected.
• Appropriate measures shall be put in place to ensure that blacklisted terrorist organizations circularized by the FIC are not signed on as customers.

Kyc Documentation Requirement

The Company is obliged to confirm and verify the identity of each person who enters into a business relationship with them. Hence, as part of the Company’s obligations to comply with applicable Anti-money laundering & Know Your Customer legislation, the Company requests its Clients and business partners to provide certain Verification Documents.

However, it is important that the Firm’s customers conform to the Firm’s principles and standards. Among other things, the following principles are considered as a part of the Know Your Customer procedure:

The information in the KYC form shall be maintained and constantly updated whenever relevant new information about the business partner surfaces.

If, during the business relationship, a Client or vendor fails or refuses to submit, within a reasonable timeframe set by the Company, the required documents, data and information requested by the Firm; the Company is entitled to terminate the business relationship. Moreover, during the business relationship additional documents may be requested by the Company and/or an update of the existing documents. If the Client or vendor denies providing these documents without any legitimate reason, the Company is entitled to terminate the business relationship The Client or vendor warrants that at all times all the information provided to the Company shall be true, accurate, up to date and complete and that the Client shall update the Company in writing via e-mail (send to the Company from the Client’s registered e-mail address) or letter upon any changes in regard to the information provided.

Risk Based Anti-money Laundering Programs

In order to make the company’s Anti-Money Laundering program more focused, a risk-based approach will be pursued. Controls will be put in place based on the risk posed by customers served and geographic jurisdiction as follows:

High-risk customers

Certain kinds of business will require enhanced customer due diligence and ongoing transactions review. The reviews will include their anti-money laundering systems, potential for being abused by money launderers, their level of risk and the company’s ability to control this risk. The high-risk entities include:
• Non- Bank financial institutions like Money lenders and Forex Bureau
• Non-Government Organizations like Nontraditional Churches
• Offshore Corporations
• Cash Intensive business like distributorship business

High-risk geographical Locations
Identifying high-risk geographic locations is essential to the Rango’s anti-money laundering program. Management will therefore gather information regarding high-risk geographic locations from several sources. Identifying customers and transactions from high-risk geographic locations will help develop, modify policies procedures and controls addressing the risks associated with those locations.
This document will be amended from time to time to meet with the changes put in place by government institutions to curb this AML/CFT.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

Introduction

Rango Construction Company Ltd (herein “Rango”) adopts a zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. The Company conducts business affairs in a manner that shuns the use of corrupt practices or acts of bribery to obtain unfair advantage in our dealings within the markets and communities we operate.

This policy sets out the general rules and principles we adhere to, and also communicate to all employees, directors, agents, consultants, business associates as well as relevant partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders the need to maintain high ethical and professional conduct in the course of doing the Company’s business.

What is Bribery and Corruption?

Bribery and corruption can be regarded as but not limited to the following:
• The offer, promise, payment, transfer, request, agreement, to receive or the receipt of anything of value, whether directly or indirectly, to or from any person (whether a private person, corporate entity, or public official), in order to induce that person (or any other person through the aid of the recipient) to perform their roles improperly or, in the case of a public official, in order to influence them with the intention of obtaining or retaining business or an advantage in the conduct of business.
• The abuse or misuse of entrusted power or public officer for private gain.
• An inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain any commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage through “improper performance”.
• An “improper performance” happens when a person fails to act (1) in good faith, (2) impartially or (3) in accordance with a position of trust. Corruption is often associated with organized crime, money laundering and in some occasions the financing of terrorism. In addition, it affects the efficacy of investment and financing in the industrial and financial services sectors, particularly within economically disadvantaged societies. However, the mentioned categories of corrupt practices above are not closed but also include diverse acts amounting to bribery and breach of ethical rules and standards.

Environmental Health and Safety Policy

Introduction

Policy

The personal safety and health of each employee of this company is of primary importance. Rango Construction recognizes the paramount importance of ensuring a healthy, safe and accident free workplace for all our employees and visitors, and to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors of Ghana (ABCECG) regulations, the Labour Law and Trade Union regulations as well as local safety requirements of where the business operates.

The prevention of occupationally induced injuries and illnesses is a management priority and will be given precedence in all operational matters. Rango Construction will not knowingly allow unsafe conditions to exist, or permit employees to participate in unsafe activities.

Purpose of Document

To provide methods for the evaluation and maintenance of a safe working environment and to outline procedures for handling injuries and subsequent reporting requirements.

Scope

This Policy/Procedure applies to all employees, visitors’ contractors and projects of the company.

Definitions

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a detailed information bulletin prepared by the manufacturer or importer of a chemical that describes the physical and chemical properties, physical and health hazards, routes of exposure, precautions for safe handling and use, emergency and first-aid procedures, and control measures.

Worksite Safety Analysis

A safe work environment must be everyone's goal. Accordingly, all employees are encouraged to evaluate their work methods and areas for potential safety hazards and/or ideas for improving safety in their work environment. Employees with ideas for accident prevention should complete a Safety Suggestion Sheet and review with their project/line manager and forward to the company's Health and Safety Coordinator for follow-up.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Job Safety & Health Protection poster will be displayed at designated locations within the firm as a reminder to all employees, guest and contractors of the importance of workplace safety.

Within thirty days after the end of each calendar year, the Safety Coordinator should work in conjunction with each line/project manager to conduct a thorough self-inspection in order to identify any potential safety hazards. The Safety Coordinator, in conjunction with each line/project manager, should complete the Safety Self-Inspection Checklist.

In addition to the checklist, the Safety Coordinator and each project manager should review OSHA's General Industry Standards for additional items or areas that may not be addressed by the checklist.

• Any safety concerns or hazards discovered should be documented using Worksite Safety Action Plan and forwarded to the Safety Coordinator.
• The Safety Coordinator is responsible for overseeing completion of all action plans, and must also review and evaluate the company's safety programs, and complete the annual summary of occupational injuries and illnesses (See 6.0 OSHA Reporting and Record Keeping).
• The Safety Coordinator should arrange individual Project Safety Committee Meetings, at least monthly, that are attended by subcontractor, supervisors, foremen and other designated workers. The meetings should discuss safety issues among workers and supervisors. Any safety concerns or hazards discovered should be documented using Worksite Safety Action Plan

Agenda discussions should include but not limited to the following;

• Safety performance over the past month.
• Review of all accidents and incidents.
• Work planned for the coming month and any special concerns regarding the work.
• Resolution of outstanding Worksite Safety Action Plans.
• Policies and procedures should be updated to reflect changes and corrections that were made throughout the year.

Hazard Prevention and Control

Project managers should be responsible for creating and maintaining safe work procedures necessary to prevent and control hazards that have been identified through the worksite analysis.

Safe Work Procedures
Control procedures are the basic means for preventing accidents. Each manager should tailor their project’s safe work procedures to the job tasks being performed and the worksite environment. Further, these safe work procedures must include the company's worksite safety rules (WORKSITE SAFETY RULES).

NOTE: OSHA standards should be used to develop safe work procedures since they address controls in order of effectiveness and preference. Where no standard exists, creative problem solving by employees and managers should help create effective controls. The basic formula OSHA follows is, in order of preference:
• Eliminating the hazard from the machine, the method, the material or the plant structure.
• Abating the hazard by limiting exposure or controlling it at its source.
• Training personnel to be aware of the hazard and to follow safe work procedures to avoid it.
• Prescribing personal protective equipment for protecting employees against the hazard.
• Protective Equipment.

Employees are required to wear protective clothing and equipment as indicated by their project’s safe work procedures. These procedures should specifically indicate when, where and what types of equipment are to be worn. Evaluation of types of equipment and clothing should include protection against damage to eyesight or hearing, dust or chemical inhalation or ingestion, skin or bodily exposure to caustic or toxic chemicals, falling objects, cuts, burns, electrical shock, etc.

For example, a safe work procedure indicating hard hat protective headgear equipment in a worksite could read as follows: "The entire project worksite is deemed a potential hazard area. This area will be well defined and marked with prominent warning signs. All personnel entering or working in the project worksite during operations will be required to wear ANSI certified hard hat protective headgear to protect against falling debris from above. A sufficient number of hard hat protective headgear devices will be available for all personnel working in these areas and for those who must occasionally enter these areas."
Protective equipment and/or clothing shall be periodically inspected at regular intervals for wear, defects, and cleanliness and replaced as necessary. Contaminated equipment that cannot be decontaminated should be disposed of in a manner that protects employees from exposure to additional hazards.
Helmets for the protection of employees against impact and penetration of falling and flying objects shall meet the specifications contained in the ANSI Z98.1-1969 Standard. Helmets for the head protection of employees exposed to high voltage electrical shock and bums shall meet the specifications contained in the ANSI Z89.2-1971 Standards.

Safety shoes and boots should meet the ANSI Z41-1991 Standard to provide both impact and compression protection. Where necessary, safety shoes should be obtained that provide puncture protection also. In some work situations, metatarsal protection should be provided, and in other special situations electrical conductive or insulating safety shoes would be appropriate.

Fire Prevention

All employees are instructed to be continuously aware of fire prevention even though the Company does not engage in activities that present a high fire danger. Smoking by employees will be restricted to designated break areas only.
All flammable liquids will be stored in a storage cabinet that is specifically designed for these products. Flammable liquids should not be used for cleaning if a nonflammable product can be substituted. A sufficient number of fire extinguishers will be available throughout the facility, and will be clearly marked.
Fire extinguishers, exit paths, exit signs, passageways and other means of emergency exit shall be inspected periodically by the Safety Coordinator to insure that they are working properly and unobstructed.

Safety Violations

Violation of safety rules is a serious offense that puts the employee committing the offense in danger, as well as jeopardizing others and the success of the project. Rango will issue a written notice to the employee for violating safety rules. The gravity of the violation will bear heavily on the disciplinary action that is taken. Termination may result from the first offense if it is severe and places the well-being of others in peril; however, the second warning notice will include an automatic suspension from duties pending possible discharge.

Hazard Communication Program

In compliance with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, the Safety Coordinator will work in conjunction with project managers to implement and maintain a Hazard Communication Program for all work operations in The Company where employees may be exposed to hazardous substances under normal working conditions or during an emergency. The Hazard Communication Program should consist of compiling a hazardous chemicals list, using MSDS's, ensuring containers are properly labeled and providing employees with training (see 5.0 WORKSITE SAFETY TRAINING), training section below).

MSDS's will be filed in the corresponding part file in the master inventory parts file. The Safety Coordinator should ensure that an MSDS is available on every substance on the list of hazardous chemicals and should be open to review by employees at all times. The purchasing agent should be responsible for obtaining and updating MSDS's.

The Safety Coordinator should make a List of Hazardous Chemicals (see Index of Hazardous Chemicals & MSDS) with the operational areas they are used and the corresponding MSDS for each chemical. The Safety Coordinator will maintain and update the list as necessary and will post a separate list in each work area. The Safety Coordinator will work with each project manager to incorporate protective measures for hazardous chemicals used in their area into their safe work procedures.

The Safety Coordinator will ensure that all hazardous chemicals in the facility are properly labeled and updated, as necessary. Labels should list at least the chemical identity, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the manufacturer, importer or responsible party.

If there are a number of stationary containers within a worksite that have similar contents and hazards, signs will be posted on them to convey the hazard information. If chemicals are transferred from a labeled container to a portable container that is intended for immediate use, no labels are required on the portable container.

Medical Emergencies

A comprehensive first aid kit should be kept at the entrance of the production area. The purchasing agent should be responsible for replenishing supplies in the kit. Eyewash stations are located within the immediate vicinity of all operational areas that utilize hazardous or caustic chemical substances.

Emergencies or injuries that require medical care but are not life threatening and can be safely transported by automobile should be treated at the local health care facility. The local emergency rescue service should be called for any serious life-threatening injuries, and for transporting injured employees that cannot be safely transported by automobile.

A listing of all emergency phone numbers and the address of the local health care facility should be posted next to the OSHA safety poster in accordance with Federal Posting Requirements.

Worksite Safety Training

Each person must know and understand their job related activities, duties and responsibilities prior to commencement of work. If any worker is in doubt concerning their safety rules or responsibilities, they should contact their respective first line supervisor for clarification before commencing or continuing any work-related activities.

Safety orientation will be conducted for every new and transferred employee. Orientation will consist of written material, a series of videos and a comprehension quiz.

Safety Orientation Checklist will be utilized to ensure a complete training session. Orientation will be done before employees are sent out on site. Subcontractors will be required to provide safety orientation training for their new and transferred employees and provide the Company with documentation proving this has been completed.

Training should include review of this worksite safety policy and procedures. Further, each person should be informed that no employee is expected to undertake a job until he or she has received job instructions on how to do it properly and has been authorized to perform that job and no employee should undertake a job that appears unsafe.

The training plan should also include the Hazard Communication Program, which will emphasize:

• Summary of the Hazard Communication Standard.
• Chemical and physical properties of hazardous materials (e.g., flash point, reactivity) and methods that can be used to detect the presence or release of chemicals.
• Physical hazards of chemicals (e.g., potential for fire, explosion, etc.). • Health hazards, including signs and symptoms of exposure, associated with exposure to chemicals and any medical condition known to be aggravated by exposure to the chemical.
• Procedures to protect against hazards (e.g., personal protective equipment required, proper use, and maintenance; work practices or methods to assure proper use and handling of chemicals; and procedures for emergency response).
• Work procedures to follow to assure protection when cleaning hazardous chemical spills and leaks.
• Where MSDS's are located, how to read and interpret the information on both labels and MSDS's, and how employees may obtain additional hazard information.
• The Safety Coordinator should arrange periodic employee safety meetings with the project managers, as necessary, but no less than once a year. These meetings should include review of any additions, changes or corrections to the worksite safety program and procedures and the hazard communication program. Specific topic only items may also be held (e.g. Fire or natural disaster drills, proper use of fire extinguishers, administering first-aid, etc.) and may include use of outside consultants, speakers, audiovisual aids, etc.

Reporting and Record Keeping

Tall injuries, illnesses and non-injury accidents that require medical attention other than first-aid and is the result of a work accident or from an exposure in the work environment must be reported to the project manager and the Safety Coordinator.

Further, any incident including fire, explosion, water damage, spill, collapse and any similar event that results or could result in significant personal injury or damage to the building and equipment will be reported as above.

For every injury or illness entered on the above log, it is necessary to record additional information on the supplementary record, OSHA Form 301 - Injury and Illness Incident Report - within seven (7) days of a reported incident. As an alternate, if a worker's compensation claim is prepared, this form can be used as a substitute for OSHA Form 301.

Every calendar year, OSHA Form 300A - Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses - should be prepared by the Safety Coordinator and certified by the President, CFO or a Company Officer before being posted next to the OSHA worksite poster no later than February 1, and will remain posted until March 1 of that year.

The Safety Coordinator should be responsible for maintaining a designated area for filing all of the above records, reports and documentation of the company's worksite safety program. All records and documentation unless otherwise required will be retained for a period of not less than five years.

Confidentiality - Information relating to employee health must be used in a manner that protects the confidentiality of employees as much as possible while the information is being used for OSHA purposes in accordance with Federal and State requirements.
