2 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
WHY HAULSAFE? Every year, approximately 20,000 truckloads of logs are delivered to the Adams Lake Division by professional drivers. In the British Columbia Interior, log hauling remains the highest risk activity for our Operations. Driver safety is extremely important to Interfor, and we are committed to helping create a safe environment. With this in mind, the HaulSafe Manual has been developed with driver input, to assist us in attaining our goal that everyone “Arrives Home Safe Everyday”.
This safety manual contains:
Safe Working Procedures Emergency Contact Numbers General expectations for safe hauling (on and off site) Overweight Truckload Policy Drug and Alcohol Requirements
The safety procedures in this manual area supplemental to those of WorkSafe BC & Ministry of Transportation Regulations and do not replace or override those regulations. If a driver feels a condition is unsafe they have the right to refuse unsafe work and should contact their supervisor immediately. Driver input is particularly valuable because you are on the roads every day, which may need to be made safer. We need you to communicate this to us so change can happen.
This 2016/2017 year is an exciting year as it is the third year of the Canadian Woodlands Safety Project called “Arrive Home Safe Every Day”. Part of this project is to change the safety culture throughout our Canadian Operations. By becoming familiar with this manual and adhering to the procedures set out in it 100% of the time, you will be helping to change this culture for the better.
Thank you for your continued co-operation, and please HaulSafe.

PURPOSE
To train truck drivers about the known hazards at worksites managed by Interfor with the goal of safe loading, transporting and unloading of all logging trucks.
SCOPE Interfor’s HaulSafe Manual encompasses logging truck hauling for the following worksites: 1) South End – Adams Lake Mill Site Scales Sample yard Mill yard Trailer Loader #1 Unwrapping station Trailer Loader #2 Log Dump Refueling Station 2) North End – Tracey Creek Log Dump & Trailer Loader Refueling Station 3) Haul Roads Maintained by Interfor These safety procedures supplement the WorkSafe BC & Ministry of Transportation Regulations and do not replace or override those regulations.
WHO REQUIRES TRAINING? All logging truck drivers who haul for Interfor must sign-off that they have read, understand, and agree to follow the safety procedures outlined in the HaulSafe Manual.
TRAINING PROCEDURES Prior to hauling logs, all truck drivers require training on the hazards associated with their work.
TWO WAYS FOR DRIVERS TO GET TRAINED:
1. Each Year, drivers are to review the HaulSafe Manual and pass a competency exam. Exams need to be sent to Interfor for grading. Drivers must answer all questions correctly to pass the exam. They must also be able to provide proof of insurance, as well as valid truck and trailer inspections. 2. PRIOR to arriving at the South or North end of Adams Lake, he/she must have read and reviewed the 1 page log yard orientation page. Additionally that new driver must obtain and review the HaulSafe Manual and successfully complete the competency exam within 2 weeks of hauling. Ideally new drivers read the Haulsafe manual prior to arriving; this should be prearranged with Interfor staff. 5 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
PROCEDURES IN THE CASE OF NON-CONFORMANCE Trucks will not be unloaded at Interfor if they have still not reviewed and passed the competency exam, and signed off on the HaulSafe Manual contents within 12 days of hauling to Adams. Trucks may be subject to further safety inspections on the mill site, at the discretion of Interfor staff. Deliveries may be suspended for a period of time until safety non-compliances are remedied. In general, the response to non-conformance will follow the steps below.
Step 1 –Verbal warning Step 3 –Suspension
Step 2 –Written warning Step 4 –Termination
Serious infractions may result in skipping one or more of these steps.
COMMUNICATION METHODS Logging truck drivers can voice their issues and/or concerns in the following ways: Communication of issues through logging contractor foreman and /or contractor owner. Foremen and owners will forward issues to Interfor staff. Talk to Interfor staff directly Completion of Hauling Safety Observation Report.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL REQUIREMENTS Interfor has a legal duty to ensure a safe work place. We are committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, our contractors and their employees, and our customers as well as the communities and the environment in which we work. It is well understood that that the use of drugs and alcohol, including prescription and over the counter medications, can adversely affect an individual’s health, safety and job performance.
Interfor’s Contractor Drug and Alcohol Testing Requirements apply to all contractors, including Logging Truck Drivers, who carry out Interfor Business or who work on Interfor Worksites. Drivers must report to duty free, and remain free from any adverse effects from alcohol or drug use, including Medications. Drivers must report incidents and co-operate with any investigation into a suspected violation including any request for drug and alcohol testing Testing may be required following an investigative process into a Post-Incident or Reasonable Cause scenario. A refusal to test or exercising Prohibited Conduct may result in removal from Interfor Worksites and a ban from carrying on Interfor Business in the future. If involved in an Incident, Drivers must report the Incident to their employer and/or to an Interfor supervisor immediately. 6 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
Drivers must immediately report any suspension of their driver’s license to their Employer if having a driver’s license is required for work at the time that the suspension is issued. After an incident and prior to being notified of the decision to test, drivers should not consume any alcohol or other substance, unless prescribed by a doctor. The results of any testing will be provided to the Driver’s Employer and Interfor’s Drug and Alcohol Program Administrator. The collection and testing process (urine, breath, and saliva) will be carried out utilizing a trained and/or certified collector.
Overweight Truckload Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure safe hauling practices and to minimize the damage to roads and infrastructures by eliminating overweight truckloads.
Our expectation is that all loads delivered to Interfor, Adams Lake Division will not exceed the allowed legal truck and trailer configuration GCVW rating according to CVSE regulation and summarized in Table 1. Therefore all truck loads entering Interfor scales will be subject to the Overweight Truckload Policy.
Procedures for Compliance Weights: Legal axle weights for each truck have been determined by CVSE and regulations depending on total number of axles and trailer configurations. The attached diagram describes the GCVW for each combination and has been summarized in Table 1. In addition to the legal GCVW including the seasonal tolerances there is an additional mill tolerance of 1,500 kgs for operational irregularities before the deduction will be triggered.
Procedure for Triggering an Overweight Truckload Deduction: Truckloads exceeding the maximum legal GCVW including the seasonal and mill tolerance will be subject to the Overweight Truckload deduction. The deduction is equal to the tonnage hauled over the maximum GCVW excluding the 1,500 kgs mill tolerance multiplied by the rate per tonne determined for that haul. Example: 7 axle tridem drive, tridem pole trailer (configuration 7C) = 58,800 kgs (including winter seasonal tolerance) + 1,500 kgs (mill tolerance) = 60,300 kgs. If the truck’s GCVW is over the maximum 60,300 kgs then it is subject to the deduction. The payload will be reduced back to the legal GCVW base weight of 58,800 kgs. The excess tonnage will not be paid for and will be deducted from the load at the specific rate ($/ tonne) for that timber mark and block.
Overweight compliance summaries will be prepared and reviewed for all trucks on an annual basis.
Overweight deductions from the mill tolerance allowance will be used for trucking safety initiatives as decided by the Interfor and trucking representatives (TBD).
Interfor will cooperatively work with the CVSE, RCMP and other regulatory agencies and will share truck compliance reports upon request.

KNOWN HAZARDS ON FOREST ROADS o Danger Trees (snags) o Narrow roads o Slippery conditions such as freezing rain or snow o Poor visibility caused by extreme dust, fog or smoke o High traffic volumes (public and Industrial) o Soft shoulders o Reduced traction with road surface o Losing track of the location of your truck and other vehicles on road o Meeting an oncoming vehicle without a radio o Unnecessary radio chatter o Using wrong frequency o Being distracted while driving (mobile devices, GPS, Cell Phones ipads etc.) o Wildlife o Steep roads and switchbacks
UPSET CONDITIONS OR UNKNOWN HAZARDS An upset condition is an abnormal circumstance that occurs when something goes awry, resulting in work conditions that are outside “normal conditions”. The upset condition poses new hazards and risks to employees where safe work procedures have not been developed.
Examples of upset conditions include: excessive snowfall events, abnormally icy road conditions, equipment break-downs, fatigue, lateness, or any emergency situation. When drivers see an upset condition, they must do the following: Recognize the risk Assess the situation Develop a safe solution –a control plan Act safely (sometimes the safest course of action is to not work at all) Report and record the upset condition
10 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
TRUCK DRIVER CHECKLIST
TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION o Hold a valid Class 1 BC Driver’s License, with air brakes endorsement, to operate a Logging Truck o Hold a Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program Certificate o Meet the Commercial Transport Regulations pertaining to the hauling of logs, haul road use, weights and sizes o Sign Off and Pass Adams Lake’s Safe Work Procedures Competency Exam
NEW TRUCKS TO THE HAUL Prime contractors have a variety of trucks coming on and off their worksite, most of the time the prime contractor uses a regular fleet of trucks, however there are circumstances when a new truck is added to the haul. These drivers, while the may be very experienced, are most at risk as they are unfamiliar with the haul route. Often times they show up for their first load in the dark and are not aware of what lies ahead of them. For this reason, the prime contractor is required to have a documented system of ensuring the trucks new to the haul are well prepared and trained to haul their first load.
TRUCK & TRAILER UP-KEEP o Keep up-to-date log books o Complete daily pre-trip inspections and refuse to drive if they feel it is unsafe to do so o Carry out daily inspections and routine equipment checks (brakes, wrappers etc.) o Have a certified bullboard, with valid stamp o Keep proof of current license and insurance in their truck o Maintain truck with regular servicing
PERSONAL o Be capable of, qualified for, and comfortable with driving a logging truck o Be physically fit for the number of hours of driving, chaining up or securing loads o Do not exceed personal fatigue tolerances o Support a zero tolerance attitude for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while working o Operate within the limits of driver experience o Wear PPE any time you are outside the cab of the logging truck o Ensure that trailers are loaded safely and securely

BREAKDOWNS
o Pull-over (if possible) and leave enough room for other vehicles to use the roadway o Inform other road users immediately after an accident or breakdown that the road is blocked at a specific location. Repeat 2 or more times to ensure oncoming traffic is aware of the road blockage o Put up hazard flares, reflectors or triangles/signs to ensure traffic is aware of the danger ahead o Assess the situation and decide if closing the road is warranted o Designate a flag-person if a road is blocked
REPORTING CLOSE-CALLS OR ACCIDENTS
o Report any issues or concerns with the road system, road maintenance, or onsite equipment like trailer loaders or dewrap etc. to employer and/or to Interfor. o If a truck was damaged on an Interfor worksite, report damage, and do not leave the mill site until damage is viewed and photographed by a supervisor, and an incident report is completed o Do not wait to communicate road issues that may cause immediate concern to other drivers o Ensure other drivers are informed of known hazards and procedures for mitigation of these hazards o Report all close-calls or near-misses and accidents within 24 hours, or immediately if someone is seriously injured, or if there is significant property damage o In the event of a serious incident, do not disturb the scene, unless trying to prevent further injury or damage 12 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
RADIO CALLING Trucks are required to have and use a proper two-way radio for calling kilometers
STANDARD CALLING PROCEDURE WHAT TO CALL and CALL ORDER ROAD NAME – KILOMETER – DIRECTION – VEHICLE TYPE o “Adams – 3 – up – empty” o Note: calling north or south as a direction is no longer acceptable
The call order is based on the fact that the most important information in the call is the km location. This information is relayed in the middle of the call. If some of the call is cut off it is least likely to be the km location. ADAMS Adams West FSR currently has the provincial standard signage “Adams – 7 – Up – Empty” in place. This indicates the correct calling order. For example:
WHEN TO CALL
When entering or leaving a road Starting or stopping on a road At signed “must-call” locations Every 1-5 kilometers as necessary Blind corners, narrow bridges, areas of
restricted visibility Location and direction of vehicles without a radio Road frequency/channel changes When stopped and parked on the road, and again when truck resumes driving
For convoy calling: The lead truck is responsible for calling for all trucks in the convoy It is the responsibility of the truck joining or leaving the convoy to inform and receive confirmation from the lead truck Convoys can be no larger than 3 vehicles A truck more than 1 km behind the lead vehicle is no longer part of that convoy and must call their own position Separate convoys must be at least 3 kilometers away from each other Avoid distractions while monitoring the road channel by: Eliminating unnecessary radio chatter and improper language Avoiding noise distractions ie: AM/FM radios, phones, passengers Staying on the designated road channel at all times while traveling
13 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) The following PPE is mandatory when outside the cab of the logging truck:
CSA Boots
(green triangle) Needs grip, ankle support, Form Fitting Gloves safety toe & puncture resistant soles.

14 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
LOADING A LOGGING TRUCK IN THE BUSH GENERAL LOADING SAFETY PROCEDURES The following procedures are general log loading procedures. Interfor’s Prime Contractors are expected to have their own Safe Work Procedures for Log Loading, and they must inform Interfor if they significantly differ from this manual. In addition, Prime Logging Contractors must train and orient their Loadermen and drivers on safe loading procedures.
Both the driver and the loaderman are responsible for creating a safe load. However, it is the responsibility of the driver to inspect the load and have all problems corrected if the truck is not safely loaded, or if something is just not right. The truck driver is to notify the loaderman immediately of any unsafe loading issues. THE DRIVER MUST NOT LEAVE THE LOADING AREA UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times when the driver is outside of the cab of the truck. Hi-visibility (orange or red) hard hats, hi-vis vests, safety-toed boots (Green Triangle – CSA approved) are the required standard. Follow the communication system established at the loading site with the loader operator. Before exiting the truck, the driver must ensure these 2 things are completed: 1. Receive confirmation from the loaderman that it is safe to exit the truck. 2. Ensure both the truck and trailer brakes are set. When exiting the truck, drivers must have good footing and always maintain 3-Point contact until on the ground. Ensure the trailer is securely fastened to the truck Ensure air hoses, electrical cords and safety chains are connected, and the air system is charged. Drivers must be in a safe location while the truck is being loaded. A “Safe Location” for the driver is either in the cab of the truck or a minimum of 5m (15 ft) in front of the truck - where the loaderman can see him. The loaderman must not load the truck if the truck driver is not in a safe location. Never swing logs over workers or the cab of the log truck. All loads must comply with current government regulations. Brow logs should be used underneath decks in rocky areas to prevent the inadvertent loading of rocks into loads. The trailer in use must be appropriate for the length of logs in the load (the overhang must not be too great) Drivers must call on the radio when they are leaving the loading area and ensure all workers are in the clear before pulling out. 15 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
All log bundles must be restrained with a minimum of two wrappers. Use more wrappers where required. More wrappers may be necessary when hauling green fir. Drivers must NOT climb on their trailers at any time to release stakes. This must be done from the ground. Loader operators must plan to place the last few grapplefulls of logs that are found at the bottom of a log deck into the middle of the load. This will reduce the chance of any rocks or other debris from ending up on the outside of the load where it has a chance to come off during transit. Wrappers must be positioned so they can be safely removed while the load restraining equipment is in position. The load must be checked at the following locations for things like; loose wrappers, debris, rocks, shifted logs etc.: i. After the first 15 -30minutes of each trip. (This will give the logs a chance to settle) ii. Designated wrapper check location (as identified on HaulSafe map) iii. Prior to starting onto any of the following roads: 1. Publically maintained road, pavement, secondary highway, mainline (Adams West, Adams East, Sawmill etc.) Loading: o All logs less than 20”5” must be loaded on a short log truck. o The shortest log acceptable in a long log load is 32’10”. o Logs that are not long enough to bunk in a long log load must be centered inside the load and cradled within the load (i.e. not placed on the top, bottom or side of load). Splicing logs is not permitted.
Loader Fork Location
Acceptable
Unacceptable
16 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
LONG LOG LOADING PROCEDURES Bunks must be spaced so the shortest log extends on either side by: o At least 30cm (12 in) on trucks with compensating reach type trailers, or o At least 15cm (6 in) on other types of trailers Top stake logs must be at least 50% contained by the stake. All logs in the load must be stable without the use of binders. All logs must be restrained by a minimum of 2 wrappers. The loaderman and the truck driver must ensure the load is safe prior to wrapper placement. The loaderman must confirm the top of the load is safe. The truck driver must confirm that the side opposite to the loaderman is safe. The loaderman and the truck driver must examine the load to ensure there are no small chunks, pieces, sweepers, or limbs hanging off the load. Look for logs that may become dislodged and logs that protrude over the stakes. The truck driver must have all unsafe issues corrected before placing wrappers and leaving the loading area. A loaded truck may be moved a short distance to clear another empty log truck within the loading area without wrappers if no worker is exposed to the risk of a falling log or other debris (ie: logs are loaded below stakes). Before placing wrappers on the load: o The truck driver will wait for the “All Clear” signal from the loaderman o Off highway Wrapper Placement: Place wrappers so they do not interfere with the forks or lift straps of the unloading machine. They should be placed within 2 feet of the stakes of the truck. All loads must be safely crowned and secure in the lay and may not exceed 5.5 meters (18 feet) in height Highway loads must not exceed 4.15 meters (13’6”) in height Loads destined for the north dump must not exceed the legal highway weight as per Interfor’s overloads policy. Over length – maximum overhang of 10 meters (32’ 9“) from rear bunk on off- highway loads
17 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
SHORT LOG LOADING PROCEDURES (CUT-TO-LENGTH) Shorts are defined as logs with a minimum length of 10’6” to a maximum length of 20’6”. All logs must be stable without the use of binders (at least 50% below the stake or 50% below the log to the outside). All logs must be below the maximum load height (4.15m or 13’6” for highway loads). Each bundle of logs must be restrained by a minimum of 2 wrappers. o Short logs (logs which do not reach from stake to stake) must be placed within the load, and capped by longer logs. When loading the outer logs (bunk and stake logs) must be of sufficient strength to keep the load breaking and must extend @ least 6 inches beyond the stake or bunk. The loaderman and the truck driver must ensure the load is safe prior to wrapper placement. The loaderman must confirm the top of the load is safe. The truck driver must confirm that the side opposite to the loaderman is safe. The loaderman and the truck driver must examine the load to ensure there are no small chunks, rocks, sweepers, or limbs hanging off the load. Look for logs that may become dislodged and logs that protrude over the stakes. The truck driver must have all unsafe issues corrected before placing wrappers and leaving the loading area. Shorts are placed on top of the load, these loads must be secured by the loaderman before wrapper placement by the truck driver. The loaderman is responsible for informing the truck driver when additional wrappers are required to restrain short logs on top of load. Truck drivers must abide by request of the loaderman for more wrappers. If the truck driver requests the load be secured, use the following procedure: o The truck driver will stay in a safe location for loading until the loaderman has secured the load with his grapple. o The truck driver must wait for the “All Clear” signal from the loaderman before proceeding from a safe location to place wrappers on the load. A loaded truck may be moved a short distance to clear another empty log truck within the loading area without wrappers if no worker is exposed to the risk of a falling log or other debris (ie: logs are loaded below stakes).
*Truck drivers are NOT allowed to wrap any bunk of the load while another bunk is being loaded* 18 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
EXAMPLES OF UNSAFELY LOADED TRUCKS
UNSAFE LOAD
Two CTL short log bundles are spliced
together; this is unsafe
UNSAFE LOAD Cut To Length with shorts on top of the load These short logs are not restrained by two wrappers
UNSAFE LOAD Greater than 50% of the log is above the stake
UNSAFE LOAD Rocks found in loads are extremely hazardous to both other drivers and the public.
19 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
TIMBER MARKING AND FILLING OUT LOAD SLIPS
All load slips are to be filled out and signed by the loaderman NOT the truck driver. The loaderman has a copy of the block map with all the required information such as timber mark and block number whereas the truck driver does not. Timber Marking errors are subject to fines or seizure of loads by the MoFLNRO and are governed under “The Timber Marking and Transportation Regulation.”
All loads must have the timber mark displayed in both these locations: a) on a least 2 log ends at the front and at least 2 log ends at the back of the load using a hammer, and b) painted on each side of the load of timber.
Failure to comply with this may result in Interfor’s refusal to unload or suspension of deliveries to Adams Lake sites. In addition, if the load is seized by the MoFLNRO, significant monetary fines may apply. These will be passed along to the hauling contractor. Loads slips are legal documents and must be filled in accurately, legibly and completely. They may not be changed and must be filled in before leaving the Loader.
REFUELLING Follow Interfor’s Fuel Handling & Transfer Procedures at all times
Wear all PPE required Turn off your engine Do not smoke when refuelling Never leave the nozzle unattended when fuelling up If you spill fuel or oil, report it to the scaler immediately so the spill can be contained. Fuel Spill Response equipment is located at the fuel pumps *To access the fuel pumps driver must bypass the scales and use the loop road down the hill that head across the pavement into the mobile yard. Trucks are not to use the road down from the upper trailer loader as the corner at the bottom is unsuitable for truck turning.* (see map)

Weighing In Observe the site speed limit of 20km/hr, except the scales approach speed limit of 5km/hr Use 4-way flashing lights at all times, on the mill site Watch for other traffic on site including lumber trucks, chip trucks, forklifts, pickups etc. Use 3-point control when exiting and re-entering cab of truck Use caution in wet, muddy or icy conditions During severe winter conditions, chains will be required on the dump hill When leaving the scales, call your destination eg “scales to the dump loaded” Jake brakes should only be used on site when required for safety reasons (ie: slippery road conditions). In all other cases Jake brake use is prohibited on site.
Sample Yard The scaler will notify you if your load has been selected as a sample load. Sample loads are dumped in the sample yard above the scales.
Sample Load Dumping Procedures 1. The scaler will direct you to the location in the scale yard where your load will be dumped. Watch for equipment and pedestrians in the yard. 2. The loader will pull the gut wrapper over the load with one of your wrappers. Leave at least one of your wrappers on until the gut wrapper is secured. 3. Trip the stakes as directed by the scaler. Stand in a safe location as the load is pushed off the truck. Notify the scaler if there are problems as the load is being pushed off the truck. 4. Use the trailer loader to load your trailer. 5. Weigh out at the scales.

SOUTH END LOG DUMP Dumping loads at the South End is done using an A-Frame/ Winch dumping system. Dumping loads requires the co-ordination of several tasks between the dump operator and the logging truck driver. The dump operator has ultimate control and is responsible for safety during the dumping operations. The operator will stop the dumping process: If driver is not wearing the required PPE If anyone is in a danger zone If additional hazards are discovered during dumping Although dumping tasks can happen in different orders Adams Lake recommends that each operator use the same sequence of tasks for consistency. Bunks and stake cables must be in good working order and must be properly adjusted. Drivers need to keep rigging in good working order to reduce the risk of strain injuries. Bunks must be tripped on the driver’s side. SOUTH END DUMPING PROCEDURES 1. Stop at banding station. Place 2 bands of wire rope over the middle of the load spaced apart as wide as possible. Secure each wire rope band by crimping the sleeve at least 6 times. If you have difficulty getting the wire rope over the load request assistance from the dump operator. ONLY AFTER the 2 bands/cables have been crimped are you allowed to remove your wrappers. (Should the gut wrapper be used during dumping, be careful when grabbing the cable, as there is a fall hazard into the lake. Use the stairs not the inclined pavement.) 2. Check your mirrors as you leave the wrapping station to make sure everything is clear. As you approach the dump, drive ahead slowly, staying close to the concrete abutment and stop when the operator signals with the red light in front of you or with the horn. Apply trailer brakes while under the A-Frame. 3. Stand clear of the load when the operator pulls the rigging over the load. Help the operator position the rigging on the load. Watch the load carefully for debris or loose logs. 4. Check the load for hazards and double check that all wrappers have been removed and that the load has been banded properly before you trip the stakes. Use the proper tools to trip your stakes. After the stakes are tripped, move to the position behind the guarding cage in full view of the dump operator. Watch the load to ensure nothing catches on the rigging as it is being dumped. If something is amiss notify the operator by using the emergency stop switch. Do not approach the load while the dump machine is running for any reason! 5. After the load is in the water, the dump operator will pull the block and cables over your empty rig and lower the block down to where you can reach it from the ground. Use the pike pole provided to bring the chain ring towards you so that it can be placed on the hook. This operation is to be done while standing on the ground. Do not approach the lines while they are moving. 6. Use a pike pole when raising up or lowering your stake extensions. Do NOT climb up on your bunks or trailer frame. 7. Check to see that everyone is clear of your truck and trailer before you leave the dumping area.

Mill Yard Loads Logs going directly into the mill and logs put in short term storage will be unloaded in the mill yards. There are also times when logs may be loaded out of the Mill Yard.
MILL YARD UNLOADING PROCEDURES 1. Use 4-way flashers on the mill site. Mill mobile equipment has the right of way. Never drive behind a stationary loader or forklift unless the operator signals that it’s OK to proceed. 2. Contact the loader on the yard channel (154.665) as you leave the scales and tell the loaderman the species of your load and whether the load is shorts or longs. There is only enough room for one truck outside H yard. If there is a truck at the unwrapping station and a truck waiting outside H yard, wait on the road below the scales before heading down the hill. Be sure to come to a full stop at the stop sign on your way to H yard (see the map on page 27). 3. Once you leave the scales you are required to stay in the cab of your truck except while you are removing your wrappers, pulling down stake extensions or loading your trailer. Do not get out of your truck at any other location unless you get permission from Interfor Personnel. 4. Proceed to the wrapping station; be aware of the high traffic intersection that leads into H yard as you turn in to the unwrapping station. If there is a truck at the unwrapping station, wait outside H yard, below the crosswalk on the opposite side of the road. Wait until the unwrapping station is empty before turning into H yard. Do not block the path of the planer forklift by stopping part way into H yard. 5. Watch out for pedestrians and Planer outfeed forklift operators that take loads across the intersection and up the road between H-yard and the Planer. 6. Pull up to the unwrapping station so the entire length of your truck is within a foot of the rub rail. Your cinches must be on the driver’s side. Remember that a high visibility vest, safety glasses or side shields for prescription glasses, hard hat and safety toed boots must be worn when exiting your truck cab. 7. If you find any arms on the unwrapping station broken, inform the log yard loader operator so they can be fixed. If there are enough functional arms to shield your load, carry on with the unwrapping process. If not, proceed to a loader for removal of your wrappers. Do not use the unwrapping station if you can’t cover your working area with arms. 8. After you exit your cab, enter the unwrapping station deck from the end. DO NOT walk on the log yard side of your load, or in the area between the unwrapping station and the mill. Watch for slippery conditions in wet or freezing weather, especially accessing and leaving the station deck.
23 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
9. Starting at the front set of arms lower “ALL” of the safety arm arms on the De Wrap. Then you may proceed to take the last Two wraps off your back bunk, once completed raise those sets of arms and move forward to the middle bunk following the exact same procedure as before, take off the second bunks wraps then lift the Dewrap arms. Follow up to the front bunk, pull off those wrappers then lift up the final sets or safety arms. If your trailer is too far from the rub rail, and the arms are not touching the load, you must raise the arms and reposition your load before you remove your wrappers. Remove and stow your wrappers while on the deck or below the protective arms. Once the wrappers have been removed and stored. If the red warning light is flashing, one of the arms is not completely raised, and so you must go back to fix it. When the arms are properly raised, the light will go out. 10. After you leave the unwrapping station, contact the log yard loader operator to find out where you should go for unloading. Stay in your cab during unloading. 11. On rare occasions, usually due to a loader breakdown, you may be redirected to the log dump after you remove your wrappers. You will need to put 2 wrappers back on your load before you go to the dump. Contact a loaderman for direction to a safe place where he can restrain your load while you put on the wrappers. Wrappers now need to be placed on the passenger side of the truck. 12. After being unloaded, proceed to a trailer loader.
Loading Trailers (DO NOT USE trailer loader if it is in an unsafe condition) Almost all trucks require a trailer loader, but some self-loading trucks may prefer to load their own. After your truck is unloaded, go to one of the trailer loaders. Both have the capacity to load all types of trailers.
MILL YARD LOADING PROCEDURES 1. Only enter the mill yard when you receive permission from the loader operator. The loaderman will direct you to the loading location. 2. Stay in your cab while the loader operator your truck is loaded. Communicate with the loader operator while loading to ensure you’re within legal weight. 3. Once the truck is loaded and the loaderman has given you the “All Clear” signal examine the load for hazards. You must ensure all unsafe issues are corrected prior to putting your wrappers on. 4. Once the load is safe, place a safe number of wrappers on the load (minimum two). 5. Notify the loader operator that you are leaving the log yard and then return to the scales to weigh out. 24 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
CAHILTY SATELLITE YARD PROCEDURES At some times it may be necessary to unload logs in yards away from the mill for long term storage. The scalers will notify you if your load is going to the Cahilty Satellite yard.
1. Unloading Procedure Use the appropriate channel for the road leading to the satellite yard as you leave the scales. Be aware that you may be meeting loaded trucks once you leave the scales. Upon entering the yard area, switch to the yard channel (154.665) and make contact with the loader operator. The loader operator will direct you to the unloading location. The wrappers must be removed in an area where the driver is sufficiently clear of the decks while he is out of the cab of the truck. Wait until the loader has secured the load with its grapple before you remove your wrappers. Work in the area between the loader and the truck. If you are on the far side of the truck from the loader you are in a blind spot.
Once your wrappers are off return to the cab of your truck while it’s being unloaded. The loader operator will not unload you if you are outside your truck. During times with peak deliveries (congestion @ the scales and/or trailer loaders) the loader operator may be directed to load your trailer by the yard supervisor. Notify the operator when you are getting out of your truck to lower your stake extensions. Once again do not walk close to the front of log piles.
* If you have any questions on these procedures ask someone at the scales or the south end logging supervisor for assistance.
25 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
SOUTH END TRAILER LOADER PROCEDURES (LOCKED ON WEEKENDS) 1. Make sure your stake extensions are pulled down in a safe location away from heavy equipment and vehicle traffic. 2. Raise the trailer using the trailer loader winch. Do not walk under the trailer while it is raised. DO NOT adjust the position of your trailer by hand. Use a pike pole if you need to adjust your trailer. 3. Carefully lower your trailer on to your truck. Fine adjustments to the trailer loader can be made by hand when the trailer is close to being seated on the truck but be aware of pinch points. Once the trailer is seated properly on the truck place the remote control on its hook or in its holder; do not leave it hanging. Call “dump to the scales empty” as you leave the trailer loader at the dump. 4. Report any problems with the trailer loader to the dump operator or the scales. 5. Log trucks returning to the bush with trailers down is considered to be an unsafe hauling practice. *ALWAYS RELOAD THE TRAILER.* 6. Never assist another driver with his or her reloading process. This can disrupt their routine and cause a safety risk.
WEIGHING OUT
Observe the site speed limit of 20 km/hr. When driving on and off the scales do NOT exceed 5km/hr. Watch for other traffic on site including lumber trucks, chip trucks, forklifts, pickups etc. Use three point contact when exiting and re-entering your cab. Use caution in wet, muddy or icy conditions. Report any road maintenance issues to the scaler. Switch to the road channel after you drive off the scales.
If you have any questions on these procedures, contact the scales or the Area Supervisor for assistance.

If the 50 metric tonne limit is surpassed, drivers may be suspended from dumping privileges. Drivers must wear the required PPE at all times. Safety issues or close calls must be reported to the dump operator without delay. Drivers must follow the dump operators instructions at all times. Dumping loads requires the co-ordination of several tasks between the dump operator and the logging truck driver. The dump operator has ultimate control and is responsible for safety during the dumping operations. The operator will stop the dumping process: If driver is not wearing the required PPE If anyone is located in a danger zone If additional hazards are discovered during dumping Although the dumping tasks can be done in a variety of orders it is recommended that each driver uses the same sequence of tasks in order to keep the process consistent.
27 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
NORTH END LONG LOG DUMPING PROCEDURES Drivers must have their stakes set up to trip on the passenger side. Cinches must be placed on the driver’s side. Stop at the banding station. Using gloves, place one (1) band of wire rope over the middle of the load. Handle the wire rope with care as it is sharp and can cut you. Place a clip over the band and secure the wire rope band by crimping multiple times (at least 5 times). When using the crimper to secure the clip, ensure your hands and fingers are clear from the crimping teeth. Pull forward and align truck under the “A” frame. The dump operator will signal you to stop with a horn honk. Bring a load slip into the scale shack. The dump operator will lower spreader bar over load. Driver must clear the area during lowering. Driver must ensure the load straps are clear of the bunk stakes and square with the load being lifted. If not, then the driver must request the dump operator reposition the spreader bar to ensure the stakes are cleared and the load straps are square with the load. The load straps are awkward and heavy. Do not manually adjust the load straps as there is potential for an injury. Position load straps under your load, hook ends into Mar Hooks and then clear the area. Dump operator will then secure the load by snugging up the lifting straps Wear your gloves when handling cables to avoid cable cuts. Ensure the load straps are supporting the load, and not hooked on any part of the truck trailer. Be aware of the potential for load straps to unhook unexpectedly from the Mar Hooks. WARNING Drivers have narrowly missed being struck by cable and bell ends when they have come out of the Mar Hooks unexpectedly. Ensure you are in the clear when the dump operator is snugging up the load. Once the load is secured, remove your binder straps. Dump operator to lift load slightly. Driver to trip stakes. Be sure to use a flat bar or hammer to release truck stakes. WARNING Do not use a round pipe as the pipe can become a projectile.
28 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
Driver is to then proceed to the designated safe zone behind the cage in full view of the dump operator; the dump operator will not lift the load until Drivers are in the safe zone behind the cage. Dump operator to lift, weigh and dump the load. Driver is to stay in the clear behind the cage until given the all clear from the dump operator. Operator to lift spreader bar back up. Driver to collapse and secure stakes with pike pole. Drivers must stay off their trailers bunks. WARNING Many drivers have experienced slip and fall injuries while walking on their trailers. Drivers are not to walk on their trailers.
NORTH END SHORT LOG DUMPING PROCEDURES Same as for Long Logs except: Place two (2) banding cables over each short log bundle. Tighten each band as much as possible. Short log trucks are not required to trip their stakes. The entire bundle can be lifted up and over the stakes. Drivers will have to reposition their truck for each short log bundle. 29 2016/2017 HaulSafe Manual
NORTH END TRAILER LOADER PROCEDURES (LOCKED ON WEEKENDS) 1. Make sure your stake extensions are pulled down (with a pike pole) in a safe location away from heavy equipment and vehicle traffic. 2. Connect the lift strap to the lifting hook (be aware of the possible pinch point). Proceed to the safety cage. Raise the trailer using the trailer loader winch. DO NOT WALK under the trailer while it is raised. DO NOT adjust the position of your trailer by hand. Use a pike pole (from within the safety cage) if you need to adjust your trailer. 3. Carefully lower your trailer on to your truck. Fine adjustments to the trailer loader can be made by hand when the trailer is close to being seated on the truck but be aware of pinch points. Once the trailer is seated properly on the truck place the remote control on its hook or in its holder; do not leave it hanging. 4. Report any problems with the trailer loader to the dump operator or the scales.
LOG TRUCKS RETURNING TO THE BUSH WITH TRAILERS DOWN IS CONSIDERED TO BE AN UNSAFE HAULING PRACTICE. *ALWAYS RELOAD THE TRAILER*
*Truck Drivers are NOT to assist other drivers with their rigging during the log dumping or trailer loading process. This creates a hazard by having too many people in the active zone and can also distract the truck driver from his regular routine*
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE PROCEDURES, CONTACT THE DUMP OPERATOR OR THE LOGGING SUPERVISOR FOR ASSISTANCE.
