Petroleum Industry Guiding Principles For Worker Safety

We, the members of the petroleum industry, have a responsibility to protect all workers engaged in its activities from personal injury and health hazards. To meet our responsibility we will operate under the following guiding principles:

RESPONSIBILITY The operating company, when acting as prime contractor, is responsible for coordination and general supervision of all activities at the worksite, including activities carried out by contractors, subcontractors, service companies and suppliers. While all parties have a responsibility to promote worker safety, the operating company recognizes its leadership role in promoting worker health and safety on the basis that it has the greatest power to influence worksite situations. It is the responsibility of workers and employers to refuse to perform unsafe work practices.

PRIORITY Activities will be conducted on the basis that safety of all personnel is of vital importance, whether those personnel are employed by an operating company, a contractor, a subcontractor, a service company or a supplier.

RECOGNITION The process of selecting contractors, subcontractors, service companies and suppliers, and the administration of contracts, will include recognition and support of good safety performance. Support and recognition based on good safety performance will also be provided by all employers to their employees.

IMPROVEMENT The operating company, in cooperation with service companies within the industry, will promote methods and practices that have potential for improving safety performance.

As the load is lifted the fork lift may become unstable motion and reduce visibility Wear seatbelts Provincial law requires the use of seatbelts Obey speed limits when driving required by law and local forestry roads, observing that the driving remains with in the posted speed limits Other Critical Behaviour What you are observing for Maintain hands free from objects while climbing 3 point contact is required when ascending and descending ladders ladders Not enter an excavation that does not have proper OHS Code outline specifics for a safe excavation shoring or cutback Keep body parts out of the line of fire the observer is looking for the workers to keep their body parts away from the potential of unreleased energy, for example if a worker is using the wrench and it should slip, where are the workers hands, are they protected from injury. Is the bleed from the hot tap machine directed away from workers. When they shut the truck door is there potential to catch hands in door. Procedures Critical Behaviour What you are observing for Complete required documentation and have the observer is looking to ensure there is documentation of a available prejob safety meeting, hazard assessment, weld procedure, job parameters Correct weld procedure is being used You are looking for confirmation that the weld procedure identified is the one to be used on the site. Any changes in weld procedures must be ok'd by the engineering department. Safety meetings are required to be conducted prior to starting work on site and when observing a safety meeting you should look for the following points to be made, muster point identified, Conduct pre-job safety meeting as required safety watch requirements, sweet vs. sour, location of gas detectors, any slip or trip hazards on site, only essential persons allow close to site, numbers and location of closest medical center, all personnel are signed onto the RF form.

Observing that the tools being used are correct for the task, i.e. Use appropriate tools for the job not using a knife as a screw driver or a wrench as a hammer etc.

Ergonomics Critical Behaviour What you are observing for Keep back straight while lifting By keeping back straight and bending the knee the body is maintained in the neutral position. Maintain neutral position while working Neutral positions are the bodies strongest positions, in order to minimize stress on the body neutral positions should be maintained. In certain cases this is not always possible and actions must be taken to control the hazard. For example a welder that is required to kneel most of the time should take breaks and use knee pads. Minimize working overhead Placing arms in an overhead position stresses the body and can cause back pain over time. If this type of work is not avoidable ensure that adequate rest breaks are implemented Maintain frequently used objects with-in reach By placing objects within reach it reduces stress on the body. For example if assisting a welder by passing welding rods, they should be kept as close as possible to minimize repetitive motions and reaching. Or if reaching for the phone you are overextending your arm you may be subject to an injury

Appendix 2 Job observations are anonymous and workers names should not be on the form.

What is a job observation? A job observation is watching another person do a job or task to find out what is safe and unsafe

Why do job observations? Observations provide a method for making us safer, by encouraging safe behaviours, learning safe behaviours, and safe behaviours and opening communication lines.

How long does it take to do a job observation? A job observation should only take 2 - 3 minutes. After the observation has been completed feedback should be given immediately starting with the positives first.

Unacceptable Behaviours For every unacceptable behaviour ensure you ask the worker why they are not performing the behaviour. This is very important because it should identify holes in our work processes, for example. Why are you holding the wrench backwards. The answer could be I have never had training on this equipment and I have always done it this way. Then there is an opportunity to correct that behaviour at that moment by showing the worker the correct way to hold a wrench. Or why are you not wearing your PPE. My safety glasses are uncomfortable and always slide down my nose. This is an opportunity to provide the correct PPE to the workers and correct that behaviour.

Good quality feedback is the most important process of a job observation and is always the hardest to do. Make sure you are talking with the individual not down to them. Talk to people so they understand why the behaviour was unsafe.

How do I give quality feedback?

Quality feedback should be given by recognizing the positives first, typically this is at a ratio of 4 positives to 1 corrective. Explain why they are doing something correct, for example by telling someone they did a great safety meeting Does not tell them what they did well. By telling them their safety meeting covered all the required point (list them) and I really like how you ensured everyone understood their roles in an emergency. When giving corrective feedback for a poor safety meeting let them know the expectations, for example good job completing the required safety meeting, but I see some room for improvement in the emergency planning portion, next time you may want to go over individual responsibilities for an emergency situation, like who will call the control room, who will perform the head count etc, so in the event an emergency happens no one makes assumptions.

Most importantly observations are a time to build relationships and help people work safely

We are there to help people work safely not catch them being unsafe.

Red Flame Hot Tap Services Ltd. 600-Health & Safety HEALTH & SAFETY MANGEMENT SYSTEM Severe Weather Response Plan RF-QR-600.24 Severe Weather Response Plan

Scope This document is written to provide guidance when faced with situations involving severe weather.

Applicability This response plan applies to severe weather emergencies in the field and in the office.

Severe Weather This response plan includes the following types of severe weather:

Thunderstorms, Tornados, Snow Storms, Fog,

Thunderstorms Thunderstorms are part of our summer in Alberta. They can come with large winds, hail, heavy rain, intense lightening and even tornados.

A thunderstorm can take time to develop or can roll in suddenly. Use the response plans below to help determine a course of action during a thunderstorm.

If a thunderstorm is spotted listen to the radio for updates. Storms that are severe are broadcasted on the local radio station. Use the 30/30 rule outlined below to determine when work should stop and when it should resume after a storm has past. If high winds are accompanying the storm move inside if possible and away from trees. Secure loose items that can be launched as missiles.

Types of thunderstorm warnings.

You hear a severe thunderstorm watch for your area (this means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms.) Keep eyes in the sky during work and look for changes in the weather, listen to the radio for updates.

You hear a severe thunderstorm warning (this means that severe thunderstorms are highly probable or are occurring.) Keep calm and take shelter. Note that lightning may strike several kilometers away from the parent cloud. Take precautions even if the thunderstorm is not directly overhead.

Thunderstorms, You are caught outdoors in a thunderstorm. Go inside if you can. If not, move, if cont possible, to a canyon, or under a cliff.

Stay clear of high ground and open spaces, Also keep away from isolated trees, and avoid the edge of a forest or woods.

Stay away from objects that conduct electricity, such as tractors, golf clubs, motorcycles. Never get closer than 30 m to any wire fence, because you might receive a jolt from a lightning discharge that has hit a section of the fence as far as a kilometer away.

During a severe storm, don't travel. If caught in your car, open the windows slightly and park off the road away from power lines. Set the brakes. Be wary of downed power lines and don't try to step outside the car if they are near or touching the car.

Someone is struck by lightning. Victims of lightning receive an electrical shock but do not carry an electric charge and can be safely handled. They may be suffering from burns or shock and should receive medical attention immediately. If breathing has stopped, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing and pulse are absent, perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

30/30 Rule 30 Seconds: Count the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder. If this time is 30 seconds or less, then the lightning is close enough to be a threat. Seek shelter immediately. 30 Minutes: After seeing the last lightning flash, wait 30 minutes before leaving shelter. More than half of lightning deaths occur after the thunderstorm has passed. Stay in a safe area until you are sure the threat has passed.

Tornados The typical tornado first appears as a rotation in a huge thunder cloud, behind a shroud of heavy rain or hail. The sky usually turns green, yellow or black. The tornado descends as a violently rotating funnel cloud and sounds like the rumble of a freight train or a jet and can be quite deafening. Tornadoes typically snake erratically from southwest to northeast, toppling buildings, scattering debris and tossing cars as though they were toys. A tornado can last just a few minutes or a few hours and usually leaves a wake of destruction.

Twisters are rare in winter, but May to September is the prime tornado months, with the peak season in June and early July. Most tornadoes occur in the afternoon and early evening.

When a tornado threatens:

1. Take shelter immediately, if available, preferably in the lower level of a sturdy building. 2. Stay away from windows, doors and exterior walls. Flying glass is extremely dangerous. 3. Outdoors, with no shelter available, lie flat in a ditch, ravine or other low-lying area, and shield your head with your arms. 4. Don't get caught in a vehicle or mobile home, which the tornado can lift. Take shelter elsewhere or, if none is available, even a ditch offers better protection. Choose a location where your vehicle won't be hurled or rolled on top of you. 5. Beware of flying debris. Even small objects such as sticks and straw can become lethal missiles. 6. In heavy rain, be on the look out for flash floods. 7. Remember that damaged and weakened structures, fallen debris, downed electrical wires, and gas leaks are potential dangers after a storm has passed.

Snow Storms Some Tips for Winter Weather Driving:

Don't take risks. Drive slowly and carefully.

Turn back or seek refuge if the going gets tough.

Keep to main roads. Travel by daylight if possible.

Severe Fog Fog can reduce visibility to less than a Kilometer. Listen to the radio for any weather updates.

Turn headlights on low (daytime running lights are not bright enough) Use fog lamps if vehicle is equipped.

Slow down,

Be on the lookout for animals and vehicles parked on the side of the road.

If you need to pull over during the fog for any reason ensure hazard lights are on and you are pulled over far enough off the road to avoid being hit.

Communication This response plan will be review yearly as a topic during a monthly safety meeting.

Radiation Exposure

Scope To provide guidance to employees regarding Radiation as it related to Part 20 of the OHS code.

Applicability This applies to all RF employees and independent sub-contractors.

Roles and The following section outlines the role and responsibilities related to Radiation. Responsibilities Supervisor • To ensure workers are protected from radiation sources when X-Ray services are required.

Identified Radiation Red Flame has no radiation sources, but does utilize 3rd party radiation examination for its welds. Areas The following areas utilize radiation: • Weld examination in the field for Hot Tap Welds. • Weld examination of Weldolet and Riser Welds in the Red Deer Shop.

Safe Guards Safe distances for worker protection will be determined by the 3rd party X-Ray company and Red Flame workers are required to follow the practices set-up by the X-Ray company.

Workers will be informed of the X-Ray work during the prejob safety meeting.

The preferred control measures for protecting workers from the hazards of radiation involve three key considerations: shielding, distance, and time. Shielding involves placing a mass (a shield) between the radiation source and the worker; the more mass that is placed, the less radiation that the worker receives. Distance also protects workers; the further away a worker is from the source of radiation the less radiation the worker receives. The less time the worker is exposed to radiation the smaller the dose of received and the lesser chance for radiation injury. On the Red Flame field sites workers are asked to wait in the vehicle or building away from the radiation source. Shielding, Time and Distance are implemented.

Hazards Workers are informed of the hazards of radiation during the Health and Safety Orientation.

Hazard Reporting Hazard reporting is done via the Near Miss/Hazard Assessment Reporting Form. These are filled out by the employee and handed in to Health and Safety.

Each card is required to be filled out completely and identified hazards must be mitigated prior to performing work.

Hazard Cards containing follow-up actions are tracked via the action tracker located on the intranet. Action items are assigned to individuals and they are expected to be completed in a reasonable time frame. Completed actions are closed out and filed electronically for future reference.

RF Safe Work The RF Safe Work Permit is to be completed by the jobsite supervisor and used to identify Permit potential hazards along with the mitigation controls. This permit is reviewed during the prejob safety meeting to ensure all workers understand the hazards, controls and responsibilities for the day’s activities.

The RF Safe Work Permit will help facilitate the meeting and identify any potential hazards, but the completion of a safe work permit will not guarantee the safety of the work site without worker involvement.

The safe work permit will be returned with the job file at the completion of the job.

Task Inventory The creation of a task inventory is the first step to creating a job safety analysis. A task inventory is specific to a job/role. For example the task inventory of a field technician will be different from a machinist due to the nature of work.

Job Safety JSA is a technique that is used to break jobs into “baby steps” to help facilitate the identification Analysis of hazards associated with the job/task.

All critical tasks that are identified need to have an associated procedure developed. The procedure is developed using the steps identified in the JSA.

Completed JSA’s should be kept in an inventory along with a list of the jobs/tasks that are performed by a specific position. For example the job/task inventory of a shop person will be different than a field technician. Use the Job Safety Analysis form to complete any required JSA’s.

Emergency It is recognized that during an emergency situation it is not possible to document a hazard Response assessment; in case of an emergency this requirement is waived.

Only those workers competent in correcting the hazardous condition may be exposed to the hazard. The number of these exposed workers must be kept to a minimum – as few as is necessary to correct the condition.

Red Flame will make every possible effort to control the hazard while this is being done.

Definitions Refer to Part 1 of the Alberta OH&S Code. In accordance with the Alberta OH&S Code, the following are defined for the purposes of this standard: The words “temporary” and “permanent” describe the nature of the work being performed, and not whether the work area is a temporary or permanent structure. The OH&S Code guidelines provide aids to determine the nature of the work. Fall protection systems are systems designed to prevent a fall from occurring, or to stop or control a fall once a fall has been initiated. In general, fall protection systems include fall prevention systems and fall arrest systems. Fall prevention systems are systems designed to prevent the initiation of a fall to a lower level. Examples include but are not limited to: a) permanently installed systems such as guardrail systems and ladders with cages and rest platforms, b) personal fall prevention systems such as personal travel restraint systems, and work positioning device systems, c) such as secured hole covers, d) warning line systems and control zones, or e) other equipment specifically designed for working at elevations such as mobile ladder stands, mobile elevating work platforms, and aerial lift devices, all of which are designed with integral fall prevention systems (guardrails, etc.). Fall arrest systems are systems designed to stop or control a free fall once a fall has been initiated. Examples include, but are not limited to: a) personal fall arrest systems, b) personal fall arrest systems for climbing activities, and c) safety nets. For this policy there is an “Unusual” possibility of injury if the injury maybe worse than an injury from landing on a solid, flat surface.

Hierarchy of The following hierarchy shall be considered in the control of hazards associated with working at Controls elevation: 1. Elimination of the elevated work. 2. Fall prevention systems. 3. Fall arrest systems. General Protection Fall protection is required by RF workers when the fall potential is greater than 3 meters to the next lowest level, and/or • There is an unusual possibility of injury if the fall is less than 3 meters, The Red Flame Training platform is designed to meet OHS Requirements. Fall Protection Plan A fall protection plan is to be developed when workers can fall 3 meters or more and workers are not protected by guard rails.

See Fall Protection Plan Form RF-QR-600.33.01 for details.

Scope Red Flame recognizes that lifting is a hazard and has developed this policy to ensure the safety of it workers and sub-contractors

This standard meets or exceeds requirements outlined in the OHS Code Part 14 Lifting & Handling Loads.

Applicability Applies to all employees and all contract welders working for Red Flame.

Requirements All work involving moving or lifting loads that can injure a worker require a hazard assessment. This assessment can be in the form of: • Safe work permit on the job site, a • Formal hazard assessment before the task that involves lifting or a • Mental assessment prior to moving the load.

Things to consider when completing a hazard assessment are: • Weight • Size • Shape • Location

For example a file box full of paper files sitting on a table requires less assessment than a full box of files on a top shelf that a step needs to be utilized to lower the box.

Available Red Flame has the following equipment available to assist in lifting and handling loads: Equipment • Forklift • Dolly • Pallet Jack • Picker • Other people (Dual Lifts)

Heavy or Awkward On occasion the requirement to move a heavy or awkward load occurs. This will prompt a hazard Loads assessment to determine the correct tool for the task or my prompt a hazard assessment to ensure rigging is done correctly to ensure the load has been evenly spread.

Muscular Skeletal All Muscular Skeletal Injuries are required to be reported as per Red Flame’s Incident Reporting Injuries process. A interview with the worker will be conducted to understand the actions of the work and or any events leading up to the discomfort.

A third party Occupation Health Nurse would assess the worker to determine the course of action. An action plan and or disability action plan will be implemented as required.

Red Flame Hot Tap Services Ltd. 600- Health & Safety HEALTH & SAFETY MANGEMENT SYSTEM Scaffolding Code of Practice RF-QR-600.35 Scaffolding Code of Practice

Scope To provide guidance for the erection of platform scaffolding that meets the requirements of OHS Code Part 23 Scaffolds and Temporary Work Platforms

Applicability Applies to all scaffolding owned and built by Red Flame in the shop or in the field.

Workers The following is a list of worker responsibilities verbatim from the OHS code Part 23 as Responsibilities applicable to work being conducted by Red Flame:

326 (6): A worker must not use a scaffold if it has (a) a red tag, (b) a green or yellow tag that has expired, or (c) no tag at all. Subsection (6) does not apply to a competent worker who is involved in the erection, inspection or dismantling of a scaffold. Note: Section 326 does not apply to frame scaffolding which is what Red Flame uses.

327 (2) Workers moving between levels of a scaffold on a vertical ladder (a) must not extend a part of their body, other than an arm, beyond the side rails of the ladder, and (b) must maintain a three-point stance on the ladder at all times.

Part 23 OHS 324 Design Requirements • All scaffold owned and erected by Red Flame must be placed on a stable surface. • All scaffold planks must be unpainted.

325 Load • All scaffolding erected by Red Flame is of the light duty variety and must not carry more than ¼ of the design load.

The load rating for Red Flame Scaffolding is 75lbs/sq ft.

334 Free Standing or Rolling Scaffolds

• The height scaffold shall not be greater than 3 times the smallest base dimension. For standard Red Flame Scaffold the greatest height would be 15ft.

• Follow the Scaffolding Code of Practice when building and inspecting scaffolding.

Equipment Red Flame uses prefabricated scaffolding that is assembled in the shop or field.

• End panel with ladder • Cross members • Railing • Planking • Sills Continued on next page

Scaffolding Code of Practice, cont

Requirements • A scaffold must be erected, altered, and dismantled by qualified workers or under the direct supervision of a qualified person. • All equipment must be inspected before use to ensure that it is in good repair and suitable for the intended use. • The base must be firm and level enough to support the load of scaffolding, workers, and materials. Sills and base plates are required on any soil or unstable ground condition, or where any leveling adjustment is needed. The sill must be sound, rigid, and capable of supporting the maximum loads without settlement or deformation. • Adjustable base plates must be adjusted within the limits specified by the manufacturer or supplier. • The frames must be plumb and level and spaced to adequately support the loads. • All joints must be pinned on rolling scaffolds and free-standing towers. • With a rolling scaffold or free-standing tower, the platform height must not exceed three times its smallest base dimension (3 to 1 rule). • A scaffold built above the 3 to 1 rule must be effectively guyed or secured to a building or structure to prevent overturning. The guying of a scaffold may require the direction of a professional engineer. Other methods of tying the scaffold should be of a push-and-pulltype mechanism and located no more than 6 m (20 ft.) vertically and 6.4 m (21 ft.) horizontally, after the first tie has been installed to comply with the 3 to 1 rule. • Guardrails must be installed on all open sides of the platform where a person could fall a distance of 3 m (10 ft.) or more. The top rail must be placed 92 – 107 cm (36 – 42 in.) above the work surface. An intermediate rail must be placed halfway between the top rail and the toeboard, if one is provided, or halfway between the top rail and the work surface if no toeboard is provided. • Toeboards must be installed on all the open sides of a platform where it is possible for tools and or materials to roll off at a height >3.5 m (10 feet). If toeboards cannot be installed then workers must be prevented from entering the area under the platform while overhead work is being performed.

Pre-Use • How high will the scaffold be? Will it be erected in one operation or as the work progresses? Assessment • Is the ground firm? Can it support the loads from the scaffold, workers, and materials on it? • Will the scaffold need to be tied in? How will this be done? Will the ties be moved as the work progresses? • Is the scaffold likely to be covered or enclosed as a protection against the elements? • What will be the method of access and egress • On a multi-level scaffold, how many levels will be loaded with materials at one time? Will an engineer be required to make the calculations for the total anticipated loading and possibly design the scaffold and the sills? • If a rolling scaffold is required, consider ground surface, height restriction (3 to 1 rule), hazards when moving (such as power lines, projections from the building, and potholes).

Red Flame Hot Tap Services Ltd. 600-Health & Safety HEALTH & SAFETY MANGEMENT SYSTEM H2S Code of Practice RF-QR-600.38

H2S Code of Practice, cont Safety Watch A safety watch is required for all jobs that may contain H2S. Requirements The safety watch must have skills and experience in the following areas: • Gas detection, • Use and care of SCBA, • Operation of Red Flame breathing air trailer, (if required) • Operation of Red Flame breathing air skid, (if required) • Fire extinguisher training • Standard First Aid (CPR)

The safety watch must not be assigned any additional duties that may interfere with their primary role.

The safety watch may substitute with other workers that may be equally qualified. For example an assistant may perform the role of safety watch while the NDT is being conducted and vice versa. Hazards of H2S Acute Health Hazards & Exposure Limits • Hydrogen sulphide is extremely toxic at very low concentrations. More than 100 parts of H2S per million parts of air (100 ppm) is Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) for exposures of 30 minutes or more. Exposure to more than 10 ppm for eight hours, or more than 15 ppm for 15 minutes, may irritate the eyes, nose and throat and shall not be exceeded at anytime with our respiratory protective equipment. • Hydrogen sulphide has a rotten egg odour. This odour cannot be used to detect H2S because people rapidly lose their sense of smell when H2S levels are above 100 ppm. • The following table summarizes the toxic effects that result from inhaling various concentrations of H2S.

Chronic Health Hazards • Human studies have found no direct link between exposure to low H2S concentrations (less than 10 ppm) and long term health effects. Some research studies have suggested that low level health effects can be produced at hydrogen sulphide concentrations down to 1 ppm. However, these results have not been confirmed to date. One animal study has found some evidence of neurological symptoms such as memory loss after long term exposure to 50 ppm H2S but this finding has not been confirmed by other studies. Concentration Effect 10 ppm or less. No known short term effects from 8 hr exposures

15 ppm Ceiling limit, not to be exceeded without respiratory protection

20 – 50 ppm Eye, nose, throat and lung irritation.

50 – 100 ppm Marked eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation.

100 – 150 ppm Severe eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Loss of smell. Exposure duration of 8 hours or more may be fatal. 200 – 300 ppm Headaches, drowsiness. Prolonged exposures of several hours may cause the lungs to fill with fluids. 300 – 500 May cause unconsciousness and death in 1 to 4 hours.

500 – 700 ppm Knockdown (may be fatal) with 1 hour exposure.

> 700 ppm Immediate knockdown (may be fatal).

Red Flame Hot Tap Services Ltd. 600-Health & Safety HEALTH & SAFETY MANGEMENT SYSTEM H2S Code of Practice RF-QR-600.38

H2S Code of Practice, cont

Physical Properties • Pure hydrogen sulphide is slightly heavier than air and may collect in low spots under certain of H2S conditions.

• Hydrogen sulphide and hydrocarbon mixtures may act differently than pure H2S. When H2S is mixed with some light hydrocarbons such as methane, the mixture can be lighter than air. When mixed with heavier hydrocarbons, such as NGL, the mixture is much heavier than air. It is almost impossible to predict where H2S may concentrate in outdoor areas or buildings.

• It is important to monitor for H2S in all locations in outdoor areas or buildings. H2S is soluble in water and hydrocarbons.

• Any H2S gas that comes out of solution will collect in the head spaces of tanks, pipes and vessels containing sour liquids, liquid sulfur and solid sulfur. It is possible for H2S to collect in confined areas in concentrations far exceeding those found in the liquid. For example, the head space of a tank may exceed the Occupational Exposure Limit even though it may contain oil with as little as 0.5 ppm H2S. In some conditions, the H2S concentrations in the head space may exceed those immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).

• Large spills or releases of sour liquids may also release hazardous concentrations of H2S.

• Pure hydrogen sulphide is flammable in air at 40,000 ppm (4 per cent) or higher.

Critical H2S Tasks The following table should be used as a guide to operations where high hydrogen sulphide exposures may be expected. However, it is not comprehensive. A risk assessment of the work operation should be performed prior to the start of each job. Task H2S Monitors Required PPE Weld • Continuous 4 Head with SCBA (2), available does not need to workers be worn, • Continuous 4 head with safety watch Harnesses when in an excavation to aid in rescue. Lanyards are not required.

H2S Code of Practice, cont

First Aid • First aid can only begin after the rescue personnel have left the H2S area, sounded the alarm, donned breathing apparatus, and brought the victim to a safe area. • Mouth to mouth or rescue breathing is a quick and effective technique that should be used until qualified medical help arrives on the scene.

Rescue • Step One: Evacuate immediately An H2S alarm indicates that there may be hazardous concentrations in the building or area. Get to a safe new area immediately by moving upwind or crosswind from the release. Move to higher ground in possible. • Step Two: Sound the alarm Immediately notify someone that there is an H2S release, relay any information you may have and that you may require assistance. • Step Three: Assess the situation Do a head count and consider other hazards. • Step Four: Protect rescue personnel Put on SCBA/SABA to protect rescue personnel. If necessary, shut down the plant. • Step Five: Rescue victim Start by ventilating the building with fans or by opening all doors. If safe, you may perform the rescue by yourself with backup or with assistance. Enter the area and remove the victim to fresh air (upwind if possible). • Step Six: Revive victim Apply artificial respiration or CPR on the victim until the victim revives or until help arrives. Only qualified personnel may use mechanical resuscitators or oxygen. • Step Seven: Get medical aid All H2S victims require medical attention. Even if they revive quickly, there is still a possibility that the lungs may collect fluid some hours after exposure. Arrange a transport of the victim to medical aid and provide the necessary information to Emergency Medical Services.

Training All workers, prior to entering an area where H2S is present or may be encountered, shall: · be knowledgeable on the Red Flame H2S Code of Practice; · be present during the pre-job meeting to discuss emergency response plans; · hold a current H2S Alive certificate or equivalent training.

Confined Space Entry

Scope To provide guidance to employees regarding Confined Space Entry (CSE) as it related to Part 5 of the OHS code.

Applicability This applies to all RF employees and independent sub-contractors.

Roles and The following section outlines the role and responsibilities related to CSE. Responsibilities Health, Safety, and Wellness Coordinator: • To interpret potential areas as whether they meet the CSE criteria,

Definition “confined space” means an enclosed or partially enclosed space that is not designed or intended for continuous human occupancy with a restricted means of entry or exit and may become hazardous to a worker entering it because:

(a) of its design, construction, location or atmosphere, (b) of the work activities, materials or substances in it, (c) the provision of first aid, evacuation, rescue or other emergency response service is compromised, or (d) of other hazards relating to it;

Confined spaces are not intended for human occupancy. They are not sites of ongoing or regular work activity. They are usually entered only for such purposes as cleaning, inspection, maintenance, repair or construction.

Identified Confined Red Flame has no identified confined spaces. Spaces Any identified confined spaces on a clients work site would require the adherence to the client policies.

Hazard All personnel entering the confined space must be aware of all associated hazards. It is the Identification/Risk responsibility of the prime contractor to complete a hazard assessment and make a copy Assessment available for review. If a hazard assessment has not yet been completed the client will be requested to do so. Workers may not enter the confined space until a hazard assessment has been completed.

Confined Space Working in a confined space is potentially one of the most dangerous of all workplace Requirements hazards. It has been calculated that working in a confined space is 150 times more dangerous than doing the same job outside.

Confined space entries are always performed under a code of practice held by the owner or prime contractor controlling the confined space. To help ensure that the prime contractor is following all legislative and safety requirements as outlined in this Safe Work Practice, Red Flame has developed a Confined Space Entry Checklist.

Prior to entering each confined space Red Flame personnel are required to complete and sign a confined space entry checklist. The completed checklist is to be submitted to the Health and Safety Coordinator for review, discussion and filing.

Confined Space Entry, Cont

Confined Space An entry permit must be completed prior to entering any confined space. Workers must review Entry Permit the permit to ensure the following items have been addressed.

A confined space must be properly identified on the checklist by using a serial number, unit number or location if the confined space cannot be moved.

1. The confined space must have a safe means of entrance and exit 2. The permit must identify the time period during which it is valid 3. The permit must list all personnel that are to enter the confined space 4. All workers associated with the confined space must be trained in safe work and rescue procedures. Untrained workers pose a hazard to all workers in the confined space. 5. Atmospheric testing must be completed prior to entry. The results are to be recorded on the permit.

A review of how the confined space atmosphere was evaluated shall be performed. If the confined space atmosphere was not evaluated, the client will be requested to perform air testing including LEL, H2O and CO2 measurements. Alternatively, The RF Supervisor shall conduct an initial air test.

6. Prior to testing the atmosphere, the monitor must be bump tested to ensure it is working properly. 7. If any LEL’s were detected, they must be below 10% prior to and during entry. 8. A continuous monitor is required due to the hot work being performed. 9. A working and tested GFI must be used on the outside of the confined space. 10. If any other toxic, flammable or explosive substances were detected they must be removed or safely controlled prior to entry. 11. Ensure the confined space has been isolated from the release of hazardous substances.

A review of how the confined space has been isolated shall be performed. If a confined space has not been isolated and a hazard exists that would be eliminated by isolation the client will be requested to do so.

12. If required, the confined space must be cleaned, purged and ventilated prior to entry.

A review of how the confined space has been cleaned and purged shall be performed. If the confined space has not been cleaned and purged, and a hazard exists or if extraneous material that would interfere with the examination is present and could be eliminated by cleaning and purging, the client will be advised to do so.

13. If fumes or dust are present continuous ventilation may be required.

If at any time the atmosphere requires ventilation, the client will be requested to provide it. If no ventilation is provided, and the confined space is not safe to enter, work must be terminated.

14. If continuous ventilation is being used an alarm system must be in place in case ventilation problems occur. An air horn may be used in conjunction with communication of all workers in the area.

15. A competent worker trained in confined space must be designated to be in some type of regular communication with the workers inside of the confined space. Under no conditions, except in the case of rescue is the tending worker allowed to break the plane of the confined space. Continued on next page

An electric arc welder must not be left unattended without removing the electrode.

Before welding the area must be cleared of all combustible materials. If combustible materials can not be removed then an appropriate fire blanket must be used to contain the sparks.

It is recommended that a site not be left until 30 minutes after completion of welding to ensure no potential for ignition of a combustible material.

No welding will commence if LEL is present on the detector in a potential flammable atmosphere.

No welding will commence in an area where dust explosion is a potential hazard until the dust or source of the dust is controlled.

Appropriate welding and ground leads must be used to fasten the electrical supply cable securely. All cables should be inspected prior to use to ensure they are not cut or broken.

If any elevated welding is to take place, control measure must be taken to protect the any workers below either by barricading the area below or use of fire blankets to contain the sparks.

All gas connections shall be checked after connection to ensure there is no leaks. Soapy water and or snoop can be used to check for leaks. Any leak will prompt the equipment to be shut down immediately and leak is repaired. Red Flame does not perform any welding from a vehicle and is all performed by subcontractors. Subcontractors are responsible to ensure their vehicles meet CSA and legislative requirements.
