8.5 Occupational Health & Safety Policy (Clause 5.2)
Semtech is committed to the health, safety and well-being of all

employees and visitors. We have incorporated sound practices by:
• Establishing and documenting operational health and safety
guidelines
• Making every manager, supervisor, and employee accountable
for prevention of injuries and occupation illness
• Identifying workplace hazards and implementing controls to
reduce risks
• Establishing OH&S objectives that address risks and
opportunities, and continually improve our OH&S system
• Consultation and participation of workers and workers’
representatives
• Complying with all legal and other requirements
Management is committed to the safety, health and wellbeing of every

employee at Semtech Corporation (the “Company”). It is the Company’s
goals to provide a safe and healthful environment for all employees and
visitors. In support of this goal, the Company is committed to complying
with all legal and other requirements related to operational health and
safety and every employee is required to follow guidelines established in
our injury and illness Prevention Program and associated Occupational
Health & Safety Manual.
Prevention of injuries and occupational illness is consistent with sound

management practices and optimum employee relations; hence an
aggressive injury and illness prevention effort is a key accountability of
every manager, supervisor, and employee. Safety, quality, and
productivity go hand-and-hand. Injuries and occupational illnesses result
in lost work days, physical disability, pain and suffering, loss of earnings,
equipment damage, and poor quality, all of which can directly or indirectly
affect productivity and profitability. A formal Injury and Illness Prevention
Program, combined with safe working conditions and good housekeeping
controls, is an essential tool in achieving maximum productivity, quality,
and profit goals for the Company.
There is no place at the Company for an employee who does not work
safely or who endangers the safety of fellow workers. It is essential that all
managers and supervisors insist on maximum safety performance and
17
awareness from the employees under their direction by enthusiastically
and consistently administering all safety rules and regulations.
Each of us has a duty to recognize, report, and act on hazardous situations

before they can lead to injury or illness. The cooperation of every employee
in detecting and controlling hazards is vital to the effectiveness of the Injury
and Illness Prevention Program through our Occupational Health & Safety
Management System. Only through working together and commitment to
continual improvement can we achieve our goal of a safe and healthy work
environment.
8.6 Consultation and Participation (Clause 5.4)
Involvement of workers in the OHSMS and the processes that support it is a key
requirement of effective OH&S management as it enables Semtech top
management to make informed decisions.
Semtech Corporation shall;
• Provide, in a timely manner, access to clear, understandable and relevant

information about the OHSMS through this manual and its relevant IIPP;
• Identify and remove obstacles to participation such as failure to respond to
employee suggestions, language or literacy difficulties, policies that discourage
employee participation, and minimize those that cannot be removed;
• Encourage consultation with non-managerial employees relating to a range of
OH&S issues such as safety walk-through, accident investigations
• Encourage the participation of non-managerial employees in a range of OH&S
activities and decisions in identifying safety aspects and hazards, improvement
recommendations
Semtech’s functional groups determine the best way of ensuring effective

consultation and participation and whether it needs to set up formal mechanisms
such as health and safety committees. While consultation is about seeking
workers’ views, and considering them, before making a decision, participation is
about joint decision-making, e.g. jointly undertaking a risk assessment and
agreeing actions or being involved in deciding Semtech’s OHSMS policy and
objectives.

9. RISK MANAGEMENT / EFFECT OF UNCERTAINTY / PLANNING (Clause

6)
The business of Semtech Corporation involves risk, the effects of uncertainty

whether positive or negative. Uncertainty is the state, even partial, of
deficiency of information related to, understanding or knowledge of, an
19
event, its consequence, or likelihood of impact to the environment or safety
measures and controls.
In order for Semtech to be successful Semtech acknowledges that it must

consciously take risks where the potential and probability of positive return is
high and eliminate or minimize risks that can only detract from success in
minimizing environmental impact or eliminating health & safety threats to
personnel.
Semtech Corporation carries out its business in an environment that is not

totally predictable. Semtech’s employees, managers, and leadership team
make decisions and take actions where the results are uncertain and where
the effects of decisions and actions taken by others or of natural events
cannot be fully anticipated.
In order to obtain excellent results, Semtech Corporation must be successful

in managing its risks and in managing and minimizing the damage associated
with “threat based risks” and reducing the potential occupational health or
safety concerns.
Semtech Corporation has taken action to identify uncertain events and to

take action to maximize the contribution of opportunities and to minimize the
detriment of dangers to personnel and impact to the environment. This
supports the long term profitable growth in an uncertain business
environment meeting environmental regulatory and statutory requirements
reducing impact to the environment creating a safe and healthy work
environment for personnel, contractors and visitors.
Where risk management seeks to understand what might go badly in a

business decision or business plan, risks associated with opportunity based
risk looks for what might go better.[3]
9.1 Opportunity Based Risk (Clause 6.1)
To maximize the positive contributions of opportunity based risk, Semtech
Corporation will continuously identify opportunities, set goals, anticipate
future change and plan actions to realize opportunities and goals
according to the Annual Business Plan, Health & Safety goals and targets,
MITs program, management reviews and Performance Evaluations.
Opportunities may arise at any time. The decision to act or not to act on
an opportunity should be informed by the relative probabilities of
favorable or unfavorable outcomes and by the confidence of associated
output.
Some important risk factors are the potential effects of a change in

marketing analysis, competition, regulatory requirements, environmental
20
conditions, heal & safety conditions, public relations impact,
infrastructure, inaction and cost or return on investment or
implementation of control measures.
9.2 Risk Based Threats (Clause 6.1)

Risk based threats can arise from the business environment, from the
physical environment, from the human environment and from historical
events or from unanticipated future events, public perception or
environmental impact.
To minimize the negative effects of threats, Semtech Corporation will

identify these types of risks and will evaluate on a regular basis their
potential impact and the probability of their occurrence.
Semtech Corporation will take positive steps to determine the source of

such risk and will take all reasonable actions to minimize or eliminate the
root cause, minimize the potential losses, eliminate safety issues,
minimize environmental impact or to compensate for them.
Where no action makes business sense, Semtech Corporation will bear

the risk with continuous prudent intelligence to ensure that timely action is
taken to minimize exposure to threats associated with such risk.
9.3 Process Methodology
Risk management can be described as the process of proactively

working with stakeholders to minimize the risks and maximize the
opportunity associated with good management decisions.[5] Risks are
about the possibility of an adverse consequence.[6]
Good risk management relies on adaptability in response to change.[7]

Risk management ensures that Semtech Corporation identifies and
understands the risks to which it is exposed.
Semtech Corporation continuously face environments in which

uncertainty is constantly challenging the existing ways of doing business
and the way that risk needs to be managed. However, the upside to risk,
that is often overlooked, is that the feared uncertain event could have a
desired outcome. This is a positive risk or opportunity and needs to be
managed to ensure a good result. Having a clear understanding of all
risks allows Semtech to measure and prioritize them and take the
appropriate actions to minimize environmental impacts, eliminate safety
hazards and reduce business losses.[9]
21
Opportunity management is the process that converts the chance to
decisiveness and is increasingly becoming embedded in the culture of
Semtech organizational groups as they mature and broaden their
understanding of the value that managing uncertainty can bring.
Semtech Corporation acknowledges that in order for positive risk or

opportunity management to be effective in creating or protecting value,
the environment, personnel, contractors or visitors it has become an
integral part of the management processes, and embedded in the culture
and practices throughout Semtech.

11. RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS
To establish a process for risk assessment and identifying hazards,

Semtech Corporation has established this basic flow to help identify
elements within the assessment process.
Classify work activities
Identify hazards
Determine risk
Decide if risk is tolerable
Prepare risk control action plan

(if necessary)
Review adequacy of action plan
11.1 Classify Work Activities

To enable this process, identifying work activities can include;
• Geographical locations within or outside a company’s premises

• Stages within a production process or within the provisions of a
service
• Planned or reactive work or
• Define tasks such as Global Health Crisis
25
11.2 Identify Hazards

To help identify Hazards and risks, Semtech’s CFT have categorized
hazards and risks as either;
• Mechanical
• Electrical
• Radiation
• Substances
• Fire and explosion
11.3 Hazards and risks associated with Work Activities

• Slips or falls
• Falls from heights
• Fall from ladder
• Falls from tools, materials from heights
• Inadequate headroom
• Hazards associated with manual lifting or handling of tools,
materials..etc.
• Hazard associated with confined space
• Hazards from machinery associated with assembly, operation,
maintenance, modification, or repair
• Vehicle hazards covering site transport or travelling by road
• Fire and explosion
• Violence to staff
• Substances that maybe inhaled
• Substances or agents that could damage the eye
• Substances that could cause damage to skin through contact or
being absorbed through the skin
• Substances that could cause harm by being ingested
• Exposure to harmful energies such as electricity, radiation, vibration,
or noise
• Contractors’ activities
• Sudden illness brought on by work or contagion through contact or
exposure
11.4 Determine Risk
Risk from a hazard should be determined by estimating the potential

severity of harm and the likelihood that such harm will occur. Refer to
SEMTECH 001.
26
11.5 Decide if Risk is tolerable
One simple method for deciding whether risks are tolerable. Risks are
classified according to their estimated likelihood of their potential severity
of harm
Slightly Extremely
RISK
Harmful Harmful Harmful
Highly Unlikely TRIVIAL TOLERABLE MODERATE
Unlikely TOLERABLE MODERATE SUBSTANTIAL
Likely MODERATE SUBSTANTIAL INTOLERABLE
11.6 Prepare Risk Control Action Plan (procedure) if necessary
The Risk categories described form the basis for deciding whether
improved controls re required and the timescale for such action.
The outcome of a risk assessment should be an inventory of actions

prioritized to create, maintain or improve controls.
RATING RISK ACTION

No action is required and no documentation records
1 Trivial
need to be kept
No additional controls are required. Monitoring is
2 Tolerable
required to ensure that the controls are maintained.
Efforts should be made to reduce the risk, but the costs
of prevention should be carefully measured and limited.
3 Moderate
Risk reduction measures should be implemented within
a defined time period.
Risk mitigation efforts must be considered.
Considerable resources may have to be allocated to
4 Substantial
reduce the risk. Where the risk involves work in
progress, urgent action should be taken.
Risk mitigation efforts must be in place and monitored
until the risk has been reduced. Action plans, goals and
5 Intolerable
targets will need to be reassessed, revised or replaced
to reduce the risk.
11.7 Review Adequacy of Action Plan / Procedure
When the action plan or procedure is necessary it is created, or modified

it should be reviewed by relevant stakeholders to ensure adequate
measures are in place to bring risk level to a tolerable state.
27
11.8 Creating or Modifying Control Measures
Risk Assessment should be viewed as a continuing process. The

adequacy of control measures should be subject to continual review and
revised when necessary.
