Quarterly Newsletter

A Hero Among Us On a regular day in early October, Jimmy Lindblom was in his truck and out on his route making deliveries for Olympic Metals. "I was just driving down the road and noticed some kids in the back seat of a car. Then they slowed down and I thought they were going to make a turn. All of a sudden, I heard a squealing, then a BLAM! "I could see glass coming out of the window where I had just seen the kids, so I got out of my truck and started walking toward their car. I wanted to make sure the kids were okay. It wasn't until I got closer that I saw the motorcycle and the driver on the ground, looking in really bad shape. "People all around were on their phones, trying to call 911. I just jumped right in, don't know if I even thought about it. The motorcyclist was bleeding pretty badly and I knew I had to somehow slow it down. So I pulled my belt off and put it around the man's leg. "He was breathing pretty laboriously, too, and I wanted to slow him down to keep him from going into shock. I knew that if he were to go into shock, it wouldn't be a good thing. I coached him a bit and talked him through slowing down his breaths. Right after that, the police showed up, and an officer had a real tourniquet, so we put that on the man. Then I got out of the way."

World'sMostAdmired Reliance has been named a 2018 World's Most Admired Company by Fortune magazine! Executives, directors, and analysts rated enterprises in their own industry on nine criteria, and Reliance came in 4 th overall in the Metals industry. We finished among the top three in categories including Long- Term Investments, Financial Soundness, Quality of Management, and People Management.

Great job, everyone, and a great way to start the year!

Amazingly, Jimmy then just went about his day, getting his job done. Later on, he got a call and was told that he had definitely saved the motorcyclist's life. When Greg Gibb, Olympic Metal's division manager, got wind of what had happened, he was quick to proclaim Jimmy a hero. "I cannot express exactly how proud we are of Jimmy, who not only stopped and tended to this individual, but who also has the smarts to do what needed to be done when no one else either could, or would." Jimmy's actions exemplify the concept of SMART Safety: looking out for our peers. On the job, we typically think of that as looking after our co-workers – whether it's keeping someone from tripping over a cord in the office, or making sure everyone's wearing the proper protective equipment (PPE) on

the warehouse floor. As a driver, Jimmy's peers are those he shares the road with – and that could be anyone, from families to motorcyclists. Thanks, Jimmy, for being an active driver and for making SMART choices. You're a Reliance example and a hero!

SMART Heroes Fight Complacency

THE MOST DANGEROUS PHRASE IN OUR LANGUAGE TODAY IS, “WE’VE ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY.” COMPLACENCY SHOULD BE VIEWED AS THE SWITCH THAT KILLED THE WILL TO BUILD.

Congratulations to the final Safety and Fleet Stars of 2017 and thank you for all you do to keep yourselves safe at work!

One of the biggest problems faced in executing our day-to-day tasks is that we can become accustomed to doing things a certain way and grow oblivious to the hazards that may be present around them. This complacent state of mind can affect many things including productivity, quality, and safety. Safety complacency in the workplace can be a literal killer on the job. Too many times, we do not realize how complacent we have become until we experience a near miss or close encounter. Only then do we

"jumpstart" or adjust our attention to what is important. Complacency also creates a sense of numbness to hazards. Andy Grove, CEO of Intel Corporation, stated: “Success breeds complacency and complacency breeds failure, which only the paranoid survive.” The good news is that complacency occurrs after some success. The bad news is that complacency can spread quickly and reduce future success significantly. The best news is that complacency can be defeated. Here’s how:

OCTOBER 2017 – FLEET SAUL ESQUIVEL PDM STEEL – SPANISH FORK, NV

NOVEMBER 2017 – SAFETY METALS USA AMBRIDGE, PA

SHARE THE MISSION Remind yourselves and your peers of your purpose and goals so you’re always connected to the larger mission. Everyone’s behaviors and actions have an impact. AVOID ROUTINES Repetition can be related to complacency. If possible, change up some of your tasks required to add variety to your job. ENCOURAGE OBSERVATION Briefly stop work and observe the actions of others as they work. This raises your own awareness as well as the awareness of your co- worker. CORRECT POOR PERFORMANCE Mentor each other through coaching and SMART Safety techniques to identify and change at-risk behavior and address near misses and potential problems.

Keep Your Information Safe in the Cloud

WE’RE ALL IN THE CLOUD If you use Google, Facebook, Apple, or log in to almost any website, then yes, your personal information is in the cloud. “The cloud” is a name for websites that store information in a remote location, allowing you to access it from anywhere. This information may be your name and contact info; it could be photos from your phone; or it could be business and financial information. While these websites make things convenient, it’s important to know how to protect yourself. SAFETY IN THE CLOUD When you have information on paper or saved on your personal computer, it’s easy to know and control access to it. But in the cloud, you have to be Your password is your main line of defense. If you write posts about your family, friends, pets, hometown, etc. consider it all public knowledge. Choose a password that doesn’t relate to any of them. Many services offer “two-factor authentication” as an option. Using it makes your account much more secure than having a password alone.

proactive to make sure the cloud shares only as much or as little as you want it to. Some cloud services are secure by default. For example, theBox file sharing service offered by RTS starts out by not sharing your files with anyone. You’re in control and other people can only see the files you’ve specifically given them access to. Other cloud services share your information as widely and effortlessly as possible. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram are all designed to share what you give them with anyone who’s willing to pay attention. Fortunately, they also provide you with privacy

Use them in addition to, not instead of, keeping your own copies of important files. Many of the services have a free feature to automatically keep the cloud copies of your data in sync with what’s on your computer. You can’t put the genie back into the bottle. Once the public sees what you post on social networks, assume it’s permanent. Even if you delete your account, others may have saved or forwarded copies.

EMJ Pennsylvania Locations Serve Local Food Bank

Paul Loftin of Siskin Steel Receives C.D. Mitchell Award

This past November, EMJ Philadelphia and Wrightsville marked the 15th anniversary of their Thanksgiving Food Drive.

Each employee participates by donating a food item. In return, the company gives each employee a turkey (which some donate in turn). Throughout the years, these two EMJ locations have put together over 150 Thanksgiving dinners and donated over 6,000 pounds of food to the local food banks. According to Jay Czarnecki, Northeast Senior Operations Manager, the program is a huge success due to the efforts of EMJ team members Nancy Winslade and Bob Foster, who organize and execute the program. “We couldn’t be happier with its success and are looking forward to continuing the annual food drive as a way to give back to our local communities.”

Paul Loftin, president of Siskin Steel, received the C.D. Mitchell Award from the Chattanooga Regional Manufacturers Association (CRMA). Founded in 1902 as the Chattanooga Manufacturers Association, this organization was the first local manufacturers association in the United States. The C.D. Mitchell award is named for the CRMA's co-founder and first president, and is presented annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to the manufacturing industry and to the CRMA in particular. Paul Loftin has been Siskin's President for 11 years. Most of his career has been in management of steel companies throughout the United States. He is past chair of the Tennessee Manufacturers Association and continues to serve on their executive board; he also serves as the Vice-chair on the board of directors for The Siskin Children’s Institute.

AMI Metals Participates in Jingle Bell Run 5K

Did you know that one in four Americans suffers from arthritis? The Arthritis Foundation’s mission is to "Conquer Arthritis." To that end, they host the annual Jingle Bell Run: the nation’s largest holiday 5K run series, with almost 100 events across the United States. For the fourth year, AMI’s corporate office, in Brentwood, Tennessee, participated in their local 5K Jingle Bell Run. Nine employees and their guests dressed up in holiday gear, tied jingle bells to their shoes, and ran in the Franklin, Tennessee Jingle Bell Run, held on December 2, 2017. In addition to extra camaraderie and enjoying the health benefits of the exercise, AMI employees raised nearly $1,000 in support of the Arthritis Foundation. It’s a win-win for everyone.

AMI employees and their guest runners in the 2017 Jingle Bell Run

Scott Smith, AMI’s president, offered his support of his team and this cause: “This has been the fourth year that AMI Metals, Inc. has participated in the 5K Jingle Bell Run, which is sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. We do a number of different 5Ks around the city for numerous worthy causes. It is a great opportunity for AMI employees to spend time together outside of the office environment, exercise to earn their wellness credits, and help out our local community.”
