Risk Assessment

What is Risk Assessment?Risk Assessment is the process where you:

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Is there a difference between Hazard & Risk?Yes….

Hazard = a situation, condition or thing that may be dangerous to the health and safety of workers or cause damage to property or the environment.

Risk = the chance that it can happen (the chance a person is injured or equipment is damaged from being exposed to the hazard).

For example, lets say you are working on a worksite and when completing the hazard assessment it is noticed that the scaffolding in place is defective, the steps are loose and unsafe which may cause injury to someone if they attempt to climb onto it.

However, if access to that area was prevented by a physical barrier or well marked ribboning the hazard would remain but the risk would be minimized.

Reduce the RiskWhen the risk level has been calculated, the next step is to identify appropriate controls to reduce the risk. Controls must always be developed in accordance with the Hierarchy of Controls.

Residual Risk & Required Approvals Probability(Based on 'Reasonable Expectations' - How l ikel y is this to result in loss?)

STOP activities, work cannot proceed until risk is reduced to a lower level. M itigation must be implemented and M anager approval is required to allow work to proceed.Risk controls/ mitigation measures must be implemented to allow work to proceed. Efforts to reduce to a Low level should be undertaken. Supervisor or Supervisor equivalent approval is required to allow work to proceed.Some risk controls/ mitigation measures may be justified. Represents an acceptable level of risk. No approval required.

Energy Isolation

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

2 most common forms of Lockout Types of Energy

Individual Lockout• Each worker attaches their own

securing device (i.e. personal lock) • in a case where there is more than

one worker at the SAME ISOLATION POINT, each worker must attach their own personal lock.

• Upon completion of task, each workers removes their lock.

Group Lockout• One worker (designated by the

supervisor) places their securing device.

• Another worker must then:• Place a securing device on the

same isolation points• Put the keys to each device in a

lockable box and apply their personal locks on the box.

• Complete the lockout form• Each worker involved in working on or

around the isolated equipment must also place their personal locks on the lock box.

• Upon completion of task, each worker removes their lock.

Securing Device - A device that holds energy isolation device in an ‘off’ position, strong enough to withstand inadvertent opening without the use of force, and must be ‘positive’ meaning cannot fall off or allow the isolated device to move from the ‘off’ position.Tagout - If equipment can be LOCKED OUT it must be LOCKED OUT, where it cannot be locked out, tags can be used.• Tags must be located as close as possible to the device in a position that will be immediately obvious to

anyone attempting to operate the device.

NORMS

PrecautionsPROTECT YOURSELF FIRSTPersonnel providing First Aid must wear appropriate PPE

DISPOSAL• Dispose of all contaminated laundry, and PPE into specific containers.

needles or sharp objects into a jar or bottle or hard-sided container.• If there are no containers available: dispose these materials in

a plastic bag (double bagged) and mark the bag to contain blood.

• Dispose of any sharp objects in a sealed container or bottle and mark the container or bottle biohazard.

• An approved license handler will later incinerate the waste.

PERSONAL HYGIENEWorkers must immediately wash their hands and other

skin surfaces after contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.

DECONTAMINATION• All equipment and working surfaces must immediately be cleaned and

decontaminated after contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.

• To clean: Use soap & water, and disposable towels for drying.

• To disinfect: Use a bleach solution (1 part bleach/ 9 parts water) and allow it to dry.

Bloodborne Pathogens

What is it?:• A pathogen is a microscopic organism such as a bacteria or

fungus that causes disease.

• A Bloodborne pathogen is a microorganism that causes disease and lives in the bloodstream.

• These pathogens include, but are not limited to:• HIV• Hepatitis B & C• Malaria• Herpes

How can it be transmitted?: • Any contact with blood or other bodily fluids,

• contact with contaminated equipment or work areas,

• coughing by an infected person,

• contact with contaminated food, drugs or water. Examples include:

• Providing First Aid to another person without protecting yourself first

• Housekeeping after an injury occurs.

• Assisting with administering needles (I.e. Diabetics or Epi-pens)

Confined Space

How to Recognize a Confined SpaceSpace is completely enclosed or partially enclosed

Space has restricted means of entry & exit

Space is not designed for continuous human occupancy for large enough for a person to enter.

Space can become hazardous to anyone entering them because of their design, construction, location, atmosphere, materials or substances in them, work being performed in them or other conditions.

All 4 of the above must be present for a space to be considered a Confined Space.

Examples: Vaults, manholes, wells, silos, tunnels, tanks, open ditches and excavations, pipes, etc.

Contractor PrequalificationWhat’s Involved?:

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Eligibility Criteria Includes:- Review of safety program- Review of their safety training matrix- Review of their Safety performance

(TRIR, LTIR, MVI’s, FR)- Adequacy of Insurances.- Acknowledgement & Acceptance of

Secure Policies (i.e. D&A Policy, Responsibilities and other site specific requirements

What is it?:• All contractors performing work for Secure will undergo a

prequalification screening process. This process aims to reduce liability, particularly with regards to worker’s compensation, loss prevention and legal responsibilities.

• Contract work is part of our business and it’s important to ensure the contractors we hire have the programs and processes in place to maintain our goal of 0 injury.

Upon request, a contractor will be

supplied a questionnaire and document request

The Contractor: - Completes the questionnaire - Provides requested documentation

The Contractor is assessed for

acceptability on the standardized criteria.

Does not meet CriteriaThe Contractor is declined

and cannot be hired for work.

Meets CriteriaThe Contractor is

accepted and added to the Approved Vendors List

Need to know who’s on the list?: • Contact your HSE Representative

• Review the Approved List on the following internal drive:

T:_Companies/ Frontline/ Shared/ Frontline Files/ Subcontractors (month).xls

Working Alone PlanA communication plan must be documented to ensure that all

parties (supervisors, designates, workers) understand the working alone check in procedure.

**Reference the SECURE Energy OnSite Work Alone Plan**

MISSED A CHECK INIf a worker does not check in as per the established work alone plan:

We will try to contact you, if we cannot…

We will contact any responding personnel on the work alone plan, if

there is no responding personnel close by…

We will initiate response by immediately coming to site or calling

emergency services

WorkingAlone

Are you working alone?:Work Alone requirements apply when BOTH of the following conditions are met:

A worker is working by himself or herself, and Assistance is not readily available to the worker if there is an emergency or the workers is injured or ill.

“Readily Available”Three factors must be considered to determine if assistance is ‘readily available’:

• Awareness – will other people capable of providing assistance be aware of the workers needs?

• Willingness – is it reasonable to expect that those other people will provide helpful assistance.

• Timeliness – will assistance be provided within a reasonable period of time?

IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO WORK ALONE: Before working alone on a SECURE worksite:A Hazard Assessment will be done to evaluate the risk to a worker, which will outline identified hazards and controls.• Effective communication devices will be provided to ensure

you check in regularly at scheduled intervals with supervisors.

Care & Use & Storage• Store in a safe dry place with enough

support to prevent sagging.• Store to permit easy access.• Keep clear from grease, oil, mud, snow, and

slippery materials

Fall Protection & LaddersWhen using ladders, there are times when fall protection may not be practicable. For Fall Protection NOT to be worn when working on a ladder higher than 3 m, all 3 of the following MUST be met:

1. Work must be “light duty” – less than 15 minutes in length (i.e. painting)

2. Worker center of gravity must be kept between the side rails of the ladder, AND

3. The worker must maintain 3 points of contact whenever the worker extends an arm beyond a side rail.

If any ONE of these conditions cannot be met, some form of fall protection is required.

Types of Ladders found on SECURE work sites:

Fall Protection

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Anchorage: (tie off point)Anchorage Connector – used to join the fall arrest equipment to the tie off point (i.e. cross-arm strap)Body Wear: The personal protective equipment worn by the worker (i.e. harness)Connecting Device: The link that joins the body wear to the anchor/ anchorage connector (i.e. lanyard, retractable lifeline)

ABC

InspectionPrior to using any fall protection system, it MUST be inspected prior to use. Check for:• Frayed edges, broken fibers, burn

marks, deterioration• Damage or deformity to rings,

buckles, rivets or grommets• Wear and tear on shock absorbers

and lanyardsIf any substandard conditions exist – DO NOT USE.

Fall Protection Plan

There are 2 Types of Fall Protection

Fall Arrest

f

DANGERFALL PROTECTION

IS REQUIRED:• When working over 1.8 m

(6’)• When working less than

1.8 m where there is an unusual possibility of injury

• When there is potential to fall in or onto a hazardous substance or object

Travel RestraintKeeps you from getting too close to an unprotected edge. Whenever Fall Protection Equipment

is Used on a Worksite, a Fall Protection Plan must be developed that will identify:

• The Fall Hazards Present• The Type of System that will be

used• The Procedures to Assemble,

Maintain, Inspect, Use & Disassemble the system

• Rescue Procedures

This plan must be available at the worksite BEFORE work using Fall Protection systems is started

2Involves safe stopping of a person already falling. Typically consist of 3 elements:

H2S

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

What is it?Hydrogen Sulphide gas (H2S) is one of the most deadly occupational hazards. It is a poisonous colorless gas.

Where can it be found?• Oil & Gas Processing Facilities• Underground Mines• Tank Cars (trains), Tank Trucks, Tanks• Commercial Laboratories• Septic tanks, sewers, manure handling areas• Pulp & Paper Mills• Pipelines

Detection of H2SIn low concentration it is easily identified by its foul odour (rotten eggs). However, exposure over 100ppm kills your sense of smell and your ability to recognize the odour of the gas. To determine the presence of H2S in work areas MONITOR the area.

EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO H2S

1. Continuous monitors - are required in known locations of H2S – these are usually set in fixed locations and provide warnings when the concentration of H2S rises above set limits.

2. Personal Monitors – battery powered monitors can be worn by workers to indicated concentrations in their immediate area

3. Portable Monitors – these can be carried to the worksite and moved with workers.

Odour Irritancy Impairment of Nervous System

What to do if a visitor shows up on site: • First, verify that the visitor is someone who should be visiting the

work site. If not, kindly explain that the area is a worksite with hazards that have potential to harm them & kindly ask them to leave.

• Ensure they report to the site supervisors (note – visitors should never walk around the site un-attended. Either call the site supervisor over to the visitor or escort the visitor to the supervisor.

• Give the visitor a site orientation that includes the following information:

Visitor OrientationsWho is a visitor?Visitors tour the office and worksites and have no part in performing any work being done. This can include landowners, salespeople, neighbors, senior management, etc.

WorkingNear EquipmentEquipment commonly seen on Secure Worksites Include:

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Loaders Graders Rock Trucks Excavators Dozers

Working Safely Near Equipment• Stay Away from all sides of the equipment and Danger

Zones. Danger Zones include:• Blind spots• Rotating machinery• Swing zone• Travel path• overhead hazards (suspended loads, electrical

lines)• Close proximity of equipment

• Only qualified and authorized personnel are permitted to operate equipment.

• Establish communication procedures before work begins• Where appropriate, install barriers and signs around the

danger zone• Wear high visibility clothing• Maintain eye contact with operator when near equipment• Avoid use of cell phones when operating or working near

equipment

Safety Points

Working safely in and around mobile equipment is a shared responsibility between both the operator and the ground workers. Never assume you have the right of way.

Powerline Safety

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Danger ZoneNo workers or equipment are permitted to enter the danger area or prohibited area. If work has to be done inside this area, the utility provider must be contacted

7 m 7 m

7 meters – Equipment must never be closer than 7 meters

Limits of Approach

Safe Distances

Ground workers must stay back 10 meters from equipment operating near powerlines

Work near power lines must be done in daylight

hours ONLY

ACCIDENTALLYHIT A LINE?

What You Need To Know:• Keep everyone back 10 meters• Try to break free and move the

equipment back 10 meters (only if doing so won’t create larger hazards or damage to the line)

• If this cannot be done – STAY IN THE MACHINE & contact the utility provider – wait for them to come to site and provide safe exit.

If an emergency requires immediate exit of the machine:• Jump out with both feet together

– DO NOT TOUCH anything else while touching the ground.

• Hop or shuffle to a distance of 10 meters

Shuffle – keep feet together and never let one foot extend beyond toe of other foot – keep both feet on the ground at all times.

2 Actions that must always be taken while working near powerlines:1. Ask yourself “Where’s the Line”

2. Dial before you Dig – have underground lines located before digging.

Noise

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Noise is one of the most common workplace hazards. Workers in many industries and occupations are exposed to noise levels that are so high that their hearing can be damaged. If the sound is loud enough and workers are exposed to it for long enough, their hearing will be damaged. Fortunately, work-related hearing loss is preventable!

What does levels sound like?DBA Common Sound

80 Alarm clock/ garbage disposal

85 Passing diesel truck/ snow blower

90 Squeeze toy/ lawn mower/ arc welder

95 Food processor/ belt sander

100 Motorcycle (riding)/ drill

105 Table saw

110 Rock concert/ jackhammer

115 Emergency siren/ riveter

120 Thunder clap/ torch

125 Balloon pop

Hearing protection devices (HPD) will be available to all personnel who are exposed to noise levels exceeding 84 dBA.

All workers must wear the following hearing protection: For noise levels exceeding 84 dBA - earplugs or earmuffs For noise levels exceeding 110 dBA - earplugs and earmuffs

Work areas with a noise level exceeding 84 dBA will be clearly marked “HearingProtection Required” with visible signs on all entry points. Personnel working in a posted area must wear hearing protection to protect their hearing.

Hearing protection is also required in areas where intermittent high-noise levels (release of high-pressure gases) can reasonably be anticipated.

Roll the ear plug until thin

Pull the ear outward and

upward

Insert the plug well into the ear canal & hold until

it starts to expand.

The outer edge should not be sticking outside

Preventing MSD’s

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

What is it?Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD’s) are injuries or illnesses that result from repeated stress to the body and can affect muscles, nerves, ligaments or tendons.

Use mechanical equipment

where possibleConsider using a dolly, truck, wheelbarrow, equipment, etc.

Plan before you lift

Do you need help? How far are you lifting?, is the path clear?

Hug the load

Wear proper clothing

Work from firm base

Bend your knees Avoid twisting Keep your head

up

Too Much? Push when possible

Step to move in different directions – avoid twisting which can injury your back

Don’t bend at your back, always bend at knees when picking up a load

Having the load tight to your body reduces strain on muscles and back

Ensure clothing is suitable for the lifting task

Position feet shoulder width apart to give you solid stance to lift.

Always look ahead when lifting as the load may cause blind spots

Know your limits. Request help when needed. Lift 88lbs Max.

It is safer to push the load than pull. Reduces strain & twisting injuries

Reducing MDS’s• Take breaks when driving or operating equipment for

long periods• Change posture, take mini breaks to stretch• Arrange areas so things are within reach• Adjust grip• Alternate task

Fire Extinguisher Use

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Using a fire extinguisher on a small fire and containing it until the Fire Department or additional firefighting resources arrive can save lives and/or property.

Remember, if you need to use a fire extinguisher and it’s safe to do so, use the PASS method:

PrecautionsIf the fire does not go out immediately or the extinguisher empties, leave the area immediately. Back out with the lever squeezed and nozzle pointed at your feet. This will help protect you until you are out of the area. After use of a Fire Extinguisher – REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO HSE & SEND EXTINGUISHER FOR RECHARGE

Pull the Pin: This is allow discharge

Aim at the base of the fire: Hit the fuel – if you aim at the flames you may not extinguish the fire

Squeeze the handle: This releases the pressurized extinguishing agent.

Sweep from side to side: Stay a safe distance away and slowly move forward.

Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep

Ground Disturbance

WHAT IS GROUND DISTURBANCE:Ground is disturbed if a work activity on or under the surface results in a disturbance or displacement of the soil. Examples include excavating, shoveling, trenching, drilling, auguring, backfilling, driving pins or stakes, etc.

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Underground facilities can consist of pipelines, tanks,

electrical energy, chemicals, communication

networks, etc.

Pre Job Planning.Obtain permits, crossing agreements,

written agreements, review procedures and practices, etc.

Search the Area.Define the work area and the

search area. Determine if buried facilities are present.

(1m on either side of most facilities30m on either side of pipelines or their

ROW)

NotificationContact facility owners and advise

them of ground disturbance and request to locate to all of the facility owners who

are present in the search area.

Locating & MarkingAfter the notifications are made

marking of the facilities must take place.Locate marks are valid for 14 calendar

days. (if work does not start, request re-locates)

ExposureDetermine the extent and method

of exposure prior to mechanical excavation. Obtain work permits, conduct safety meetings, identify

distances that must be maintained by mechanical equipment.

InspectionBefore backfilling work area

ensure the owner of the facility inspections their facility to ensure no

damage has occurred.

Pipelines = 5m (16’)NEB Pipelines = 3m (10’)

All Other Buried Facilities = 1m (3’)

The ONLY Exceptions:• Routine, minor road maintenance• Agriculture operations less than 450mm• Hand Digging no greater than 300mm

Tool SafetySelect right tool for the job:Most accidents occur in the workplace due to the use of incorrect hand-held tools selected to perform work AND the use of defective tools. An wrong choice in tool selection and use can make the easiest task dangerous.

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Guards & Safety Devices• No guard, handle or safety device is to be

removed from a tools without the written permission from management. It you see a tool without guards or handles in place. Put them back on or tag out of service.

• Other guards may be required to protect other workers within the area, i.e. welding screens. When performing any activity that may affect others, check with your supervisor for guarding requirements.

• For tools that require a worker to feed materials into cutting machinery, a push stick/ block must be used to avoid worker injury.

InspectionRegardless of tool type, always:• INSPECT before use • REMOVE any defective tools

from service by tagging out and disposing or sending for repair.

Use• Use a tool only for it’s intended

purpose and in accordance with manufacturers specifications

• Always clean and store the tool in a safe, dry area when finished using it.

Power Tools• Always read and understand the manufacturers

manual prior to using power tools. Read the nameplate information and follow warning labels on the tool.

• Always turn off and unplug the tools before making any adjustments or changes to accessories.

• Never use power tools in a wet or damp environment.

• If tools is equipped with a 3 pronged plugs, ensure a 3 pronged outlet is used (or 3 pronged extension cord).

• Ensure cutters and blades are clean, sharp and securely in place.

• DO NOT overreach when using a power tool, stay firmly planted on both feet.

DO’s• Report all unsafe acts, conditions, accidents, injuries and near

misses to supervisors AND to HSE

• Use hand tools only for the purpose it is intended for

• If wearing respiratory protection, ensure proper seal by eliminating facial hair.

• Hair extending beyond the collar must be tied up and tucked away

• Authorized personnel only are permitted to operate power tools

• All compressed gas cylinders must be secured upright

• Power tools and explosive/ power actuated tools shall be used only by persons instructed and trained in their safe use

• Perform all work in accordance with safe work procedures and practices

• Good housekeeping is mandatory, keep all work areas and work sites clean and orderly

• Follow WHMIS & TDG requirements when handling, storing or transporting chemicals

• Wear Seat belts

• Obey posted speed limits & drive to conditions

• Maintain safe limits of approach when working near electrical facilities

Company Rules

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Company rules are set in place to protect the rights of workers and the interest of SECURE.Violation of any company rules will result in corrective measures including: caution, reprimand,

suspension, demotion or dismissal.

DON’T’s• Smoking is permitted only in designated areas

• Riding on equipment is prohibited

• Possession or use on the job of intoxicating beverages or drugs is strictly forbidden and constitutes grounds for DISMISSAL

• Theft, vandalism, harassment, violence of other abuse constitutes grounds for DISMISSAL

• Never work closer than 7m when working near unknown voltage of live electrical facilities.

• DO NOT enter excavations in excess of legislative requirements unless the excavation is sloped and/ or shored to standards

• NEVER use defective tools or tools without guards. Tag out of service and send for repair or replacement

• Fire arms are strictly prohibited unless specific written authorization is granted for specific situations like wildlife monitoring.

• Fighting or horseplay is not permitted

• No making of false statements

Rigging (Chains, Ropes & Cables)

Suspended Loads:• All workers are to stay clear of suspended loads. • Work areas must be arranged so that a load does

not pass over workers.

BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Inspection:• Inspect all wire rope, slings & lifting attachments

(snap hooks, carabineers, etc.). prior to every use and at regular intervals specific by the manufacturer. Check for:

• Abrasions• Crushed strands• Corrosion• Kinks• Discoloration• Electrical contact• Rope diameter reduction• Bird caging• Protruding core• Chemical burns (black or rusty brown spots)

Tag Out of Service if:• Defective• the ropes or equipment

has experienced a failure.• Ropes have been exposed to acid or excessive heat

Storage:• Protect ropes from excessive temperatures and

store in a clean dry area.• Do not leave on floors where it may be

susceptible to coming into contact with damaging materials (i.e. acids, vehicles, etc.)

Signal Person:• The rigger (operator) must only select signals

from one individual – the signal person. This person should be identified by reflective clothing or armlets

• The signal person and the operator must use a signaling system understood by both parties

• Use taglines to control the load• If you are near the load when being attached to

the lifting equipment, ensure to watch for the roll or swing of the load. Anticipate the swing and work away from it

• Position yourself in a safe position away from materials, equipment or any stationary objects.

• DO NOT stand under the load or the boom.• Ensure sharp edges are guarded to prevent

damage or malfunction of rigging.

Maximum Load Ratings:• Rigging must not be subjected to loads more than

the maximum load ratings as outlined by the manufacturer and legislation.

Tag Out of Service if:• Defective• the ropes or equipment

has experienced a failure.• Ropes have been exposed to acid or excessive heat
