Health and Safety Guidelines Health and Safety Guidelines Version 1.3 Discovery Geophysics Inc. Mission Statement Discovery Geophysics Inc. is committed to operating in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. It is the responsibility of every employee to adhere to the safety standards set out by the company. It is the responsibility of the management of the company to establish and maintain healthy and safe working practices and procedures. All activities and operations of the employees of the company or by separate independent contractors will be carried out so as to protect the occupational health and safety of all employees and contractors, and the environment of all who may be affected by our business activities. Discovery Geophysics Overview Exploration work is often carried out in remote areas, evacuation to a medical treatment centre may be difficult and may depend on weather or daylight conditions. Therefore, emergency procedures and communications should be carefully planned and tested before field work commences. While outdoor safety may be considered common sense or “bush sense”, one should remember that what is considered common sense in one culture may not be so considered in another culture. Companies should provide employees with a safety manual that addresses the issues of the regions where they work. A comprehensive safety manual can form the basis for camp orientation meetings, training sessions and routine safety meetings throughout the field season. Geophysical surveys are carried out by a “survey crew” supervised by, a “Crew Chief” (in some situations where only one person is required to carry out the survey, the party chief is the survey crew). The primary duty of the party chief is to ensure that the highest quality data possible are collected, given the inherent limitations of the survey type and location, in the safest and most environmentally benign manner as possible. It is the responsibility of the crew chief that all safety practices and standards set out by the company are implemented at all times on the work site and while traveling to or from the work site. The crew chief must ensure that all crew members are competently trained to safely carry out their assigned functions. The crew chief must maintain direct control, either in person or via radio communication, of all activities during the survey to ensure that the survey is conducted as efficiently and safely as possible. Copies of basic safety practices must be issued to crew members prior to commencement of a particular survey and each crew member must understand completely all safety rules and practices for that survey. It is the responsibility of the survey crew to comply with all instructions, rules and work practices set out by the company and enforced by the crew chief. The survey crew must adopt a safety-first attitude and common-sense approach to safety and environmental Health and Safety Guidelines - Version 1.3 1 Discovery Geophysics Inc. issues, and must not take undue risks that may jeopardize the safety of themselves and fellow workers. The survey crew must practice care with smoking in the bush, always insuring that matches and cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposing. The survey crew must not litter the survey site, all garbage is to be disposed of in a proper manner. Safety on the job is a core priority and we encourage our employees and contractors to report all incidents (no matter how minor) and near misses so we can thoroughly investigate to determine causes and implement successful corrective actions. Our goal in all instances is to understand exactly what happened and why, so we can minimize the chance of a recurrence. Emergency Response Preparedness Although we strive for 100% safe practices in our business operations, it is only prudent to plan for the unlikely event of a crisis or emergency. Emergency preparedness and planning the appropriate response will help to minimize human, property, and economic losses. Discovery management recognizes this fact and, as a result, institutes an emergency response plan on all projects. Discovery management and the project crew chief are responsible for the development and administration of the emergency response plan. The first task is to: a) identify all environmental, mining and forestry regulations within the survey jurisdiction, b) recognize specific safety concerns and requirements for the particular survey type, and c) obtain advice from the client about any specific safety concerns at the job site. The next step is to itemize all direct and indirect health and safety hazards that may arise from our activities, and to formulate an emergency response plan that details the steps that will be taken to eliminate or mitigate risks and respond to an emergency if an accident was to happen. A risk assessment is the basis for the emergency plan. Projects must be carefully assessed to identify all risks and to properly prepare an emergency response. A risk assessment begins by creating a list of all potential hazards that could possibly impact the project. Once a fully prepared potential hazards list is in place, methods can be considered to eliminate or reduce the risk, and to prepare for the appropriate action in case of an accident. One of the keys to an effective emergency response is an effective and reliable communications system that is able to relay accurate information quickly. Reliable communications equipment must be used, procedures have to be developed and all personnel must be trained to operate the equipment. A list of emergency telephone numbers that can assist during an emergency is essential for the rapid activation of an appropriate emergency response. The telephone list must be posted in plain view close to the communication system. Health and Safety Guidelines - Version 1.3 2 Discovery Geophysics Inc. Emergency phone numbers should include: 1) closest hospital 2) fire department or provincial forestry/environment agency 3) search and rescue 4) ambulance or air ambulance 5) local law enforcement 6) helicopter or fixed wing air support 7) business and home phone number of the Project manager General Health and Safety Duties of the Employer The duties of an employer at a place of employment include: (a) the provision and maintenance of plant, systems of work and working environments that ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of the employer’s workers; (b) arrangements for the use, handling, storage and transport of articles and substances in a manner that protects the health and safety of workers; (c) the provision of any information, instruction, training and supervision that is necessary to protect the health and safety of workers at work; and (d) the provision and maintenance of a safe means of entrance to and exit from the place of employment and all worksites and work-related areas in or on the place of employment. 4 Oct 96 cO-1.1 Reg 1 s12. Duties of the Employee A worker shall: (a) use the safeguards, safety appliances and personal protective equipment provided in accordance with these regulations and any other regulations made pursuant to the Act; and (b) follow the safe work practices and procedures required by or developed pursuant to these regulations and any other regulations made pursuant to the Act. 4 Oct 96 cO-1.1 Reg 1 s13. Health and Safety Guidelines - Version 1.3 3 Discovery Geophysics Inc. Qualification and Training All employees must ensure they have adequate training and qualification prior to completing a job task, or operating equipment. Ideally, all exploration workers should be trained and certified in basic first aid and wilderness first-aid skills. Larger camps or worksites should have at least one employee trained and certified in advanced or industrial first-aid skills. Employees should be trained in the safe use all equipment. All geophysicists and helpers should be trained to use ground (earth) geophysical equipment that may operate at high current or voltage. Additional training topics should include fire prevention, fire drills, fuel handling and firearms handing, when relevant. Personal Protective Equipment Personal Protective equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times. Each employee must analyze the hazards for the job tasks they are completing and select the correct PPE for the task. Communication In the field it is important for workers to maintain communications. The crew chief must be kept informed of changes to plans, incidents and maintain regular check-ins. An open line of communication between crew chiefs and workers is important to make sure everyone understands their assigned tasks. Workers must feel they can report near misses and incidents to their crew chief so that hazards can be mitigated and incidents can be prevented. Personal Behavior Horseplay is strictly prohibited. Horseplay can lead to accident and injuries and must not be tolerated. Discovery Geophysics has a zero tolerance policy for harassment and abuse. All employees are to be treated with respect by all crew chief and workers. Any employee participating in violent behavior may be terminated. Health and Safety Guidelines - Version 1.3 4 Discovery Geophysics Inc. Discovery Geophysics has a zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol. Drugs and alcohol are not allowed while on the job or when staying in a work campsite. Anyone caught with band substances may be terminated. If an employee is taking prescription drugs that may affect their ability work a crew chief should be informed. Working Alone Policy Any employee working alone must carry means of communication (cell phone or radio) and must maintain regular contact with crew chief. Crew chief should check on any employee working alone on a regular basis, and should review any hazards involved prior to starting the work alone. Slips, Trips, and Falls Slips, trip and falls are a very common source for injury.

The Managing Editor of Biosystems Engineering, Dr Steve Parkin, has kindly summarised some of the papers published in the last three issues which he thinks may be of interest to IAgrE members Biosystems Engineering Volume 113, Issue 3, November 2012, Pages 284-297 A distributed control framework for motion coordination of teams of autonomous agricultural vehicles Stavros G. Vougioukas University of California, Davis, CA, USA A distributed control framework, intended to coordinate the motions of teams of autonomous agricultural vehicles operating in proximity is presented; master- slave and peer-to-peer operation modes are supported. Each vehicle has a nonlinear model predictive tracking controller, which keeps it as close as possi- ble to the path demanded by the task, and coordinates and avoids collisions with nearby vehicles. Simulation experiments have shown that the minimisa- tion of the tracking error along a finite horizon enabled the controller to track paths containing sharp turns, by applying appropriate steering well in advance of the turn. It has also been shown that vehicles can move in both operating modes, coordinate with nearby vehicles by altering their velocity profiles or the shapes of their paths, and avoid collisions.

    Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service NREM-2899 Prescribed Burn Equipment November 2016 John R. Weir Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Fact Sheets Research Associate, Natural Resource Ecology and Management, are also available on our website at: Oklahoma State University http://osufacts.okstate.edu R. Seth Coffey Graduate Research Assistant, Natural Resource Ecology and Man- agement, Oklahoma State University Carol E. Blocksome Research Assistant Professor, Horticulture and Natural Resources, Kansas State University Morgan L. Russell Extension Range Specialist, Ecosystem Science and Manage- ment, Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service Dirac Twidwell Assistant Professor, Department of Agromony and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Introduction Having proper or adequate equipment on a prescribed fire is just as important as writing burn plans, firebreak prepa- rations or having the correct weather conditions. Oftentimes, burn managers will make equipment checklists prior to the burn; ensuring all needs have been met. Equipment may range from what the crew should wear to the type of pumper unit one might have on a fire. In planning a prescribed burn, one of the most important steps is considering what equipment is needed to properly protect the burn crew and contain the fire. There is no standard equipment list for conducting a burn. However, it is important to consider all equipment that could be used to make the prescribed burn safer and easier. When determining what equipment is needed it is best to go by the adage of “better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.” Always remember no two burns are the same and each burn can require different pieces of equipment.

  • Constructing Fireline (Wildland) Page 1 Developed by Engineer John Sanfilippo September 2011 • National Wildfire Coordinatio
    C ONSTRUCTING F IRE L INE (WILDLAND) (1.1) Developed by Engineer John Sanfilippo September 2011 National Wildfire Coordination Group (NWCG) – Incident Response Pocket Guide (IRPG) 2010 Ed. Standard Firefighting Orders (F.O.) and Watch Out Situations (W.O.) LFR Playbook – Wildland Fire Operating Guide (December 2006) T ASK S KILL DESCRIPTION AND DETAIL Firefighter Safety F.O. #10 – Fight fire aggressively, having provided for safety first. First identify L.C.E.S. and brief all members to ensure they are known and understood (F.O.’s #4, #5, #7, and #8). Size up the fire and know what the fire is doing or get in contact with someone that can (F.O. #2). All fire line must begin with an adequate anchor point (W.O. #8). Fire Line Location Always start with an anchor point. Will the location of your anchor point keep the fire from hooking around behind you? Answer this question or make adjustments to answer it. Consider another point to begin if you can’t answer it. Will some improvements work to answer the question? Usually, it is best to begin downhill of the fire. Look for natural features to help you; utilize wetlands, rock outcroppings, roads or trails to start with. Constructing Fireline (Wildland) Page 1 Once the anchor point is established (Benchmark – Anchor Point Established), time to build line on the fire flanks. Direct attack with one foot in the green and one foot in the black is safest and preferred. Try to keep the line as straight as possible and utilize natural features to lessen the workload.
