Forging Ahead Together Dear Colleague, This is one of the most exciting times in the history of Novelis, and I welcome you to the team. Today, we begin a journey to shape this company – our company – into the defining leader of the aluminum industry. Today we begin “Forging Ahead Together.” As part of this journey, we will accelerate our growth, while strengthening our strong traditions of safety, innovation, quality and customer partnership. In doing so, we will deliver more value to our customers, our employees and the communities where we live and work - all while delivering on the Novelis Purpose of “Shaping a Sustainable World Together.” Our integration teams have done an excellent job preparing us for today; yet the work has only just begun. As we start to integrate our culture, processes and systems, it is important to recognize that this is no small task and we’re likely to feel some growing pains along the way. To help support your personal transition and success as a Novelis employee, this guide provides a starting point of things you need to know about the new Novelis. If you have other questions, please ask your manager, your HR business partner, or reference the integration page on InsideNovelis. The months ahead will be fast-paced, yet professionally invigorating, as we work to build the new Novelis. It is a tremendous honor to lead this company-especially at this point in our history-and l look forward to seeing all that we will accomplish together. Regards, Steve Fisher President and Chief Executive Officer, Novelis Inc.

Safety Above All
Everything we do at Novelis starts with safety. It is this commitment to protecting our
people that has led us to industry-leading safety performance. The Novelis Safety
System provides a systematic approach to identifying, managing and mitigating risks in
our operations. With this system, all Novelis team members are charged with looking out
for their own safety, as well as that of their colleagues.
Safety Absolutes
Novelis has established seven critical procedures for life
safety. We call these the Safety Absolutes.
Control of Hazardous Energy (LOTO)
Employees must achieve a zero-energy state and secure

on equipment.

operable and the load does not obstruct the operator’s view.
Operators must follow all procedures prior to dismounting.
Operators and pedestrians must be aware of one another to
ensure safe interaction.
Confined Space Entry
Entry into a permit required confined space shall be made
only when issued a written permit that indicates that all
specified safety conditions are met.
Cranes & Lifting Equipment Safety
Only trained, certified and/or licensed employees may
operate cranes and only if all safety features are operable and
the load does not obstruct the operator’s view. Operators shall
not take a suspended load over a person and pedestrians
shall not walk under a load suspended by a crane.
Molten Metal Explosion Prevention
Persons shall not contaminate the scrap stream and molten
metal processing equipment shall not be operated with
known contamination.
Fall Prevention & Protection
Work at heights above 4 feet (1.22 meters) shall not be done
without fall protection.
