Health and Safety Program

POLICY STATEMENT

Industrial Supply Center recognizes that some of its employees perform field duties that may expose them to unsafe environments. This Field Health and Safety Program is one component of ISC overall Health and Safety Program. The Program has been developed to comply with Provincial and Federal laws and regulations designed to protect employees from chemical and physical hazards they may be exposed to in the work environment.

It is the policy of ISC to provide safe and healthful working conditions for employees when performing field activities. An important goal is to promote and maintain the well being of personnel by preventing occupational injuries and illnesses. Activities associated with field duties shall be evaluated and controlled to prevent accidents or exposures to hazards. This field plan is designed to help identify, evaluate and control safety and health hazards in the field.

2. GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES

These procedures are intended for use by all field staff to provide them with health and safety guidance when performing field activities. Since the field activities will vary depending on the location, the characteristics, and type of operation of each site, it is always the ultimate responsibility of the employee to ensure safety.

2.1 Health and Safety Planning

All field staff will:

Always notify the client or site supervisor about field staff presence on site
All field staff and sub contracted workers will sign in the Health and Safety Binder Log Book upon arrival at the site and list activities
Complete the Site Start-Up Health and Safety form. A copy of the form is to be given to the Health and Safety Coordinator or designate and the original is to be kept in the Health and Safety Binder which is to be kept with the field employee at all times while on site. This form is designed to familiarize the employee with the facility and hazards to be aware of. A copy of the form is in the Appendix.
Always become familiar with the site prior to beginning field activities to determine what hazards may exist on-site. Whenever possible, obtain a floor plan detailing emergency exits, fire extinguishers, emergency showers and eyewash stations, and emergency telephones. If one is not available, employees should prepare a simple floor plan with this information included.
Participate in all training required by the site, according to company policies.
Consult with the site supervisor to determine how emergency communication is conducted.
Consult with supervisors and the Health and Safety Coordinator or equivalent to assist in identifying and evaluating site hazards and selecting appropriate equipment necessary to mitigate identified hazards.
Ensure the field health and safety kit is stocked and add any extra equipment or items as necessary for each site.
Conduct an initial and monthly workplace inspection that will cover all areas of work, storage of materials, and normal worker walkway routes. Each inspection is to be documented and copies provided to the Health and Safety Coordinator and Site Supervisor.
Notify supervisors and co-workers by preparing itineraries showing when, where, and with whom you will be going to the site for field activities.
Plan your field activities to accommodate adverse weather conditions and select appropriate clothing and equipment.
Schedule summer field activities early to avoid the hottest part of the day and carry water with you. Avoid heat stroke by limiting time spent in direct sunlight while wearing protective equipment. Conversely, take time to plan for winter or wet activities where the potential to cold injury (such as hypothermia or frostbite) may exist.
Select PPE based on the hazards that will be encountered during the visit. Consult with the site staff, supervisors and Health and Safety Coordinator to assist in identifying and evaluating site hazards and selecting appropriate PPE.
As a minimum the following PPE shall be worn at all times while at a site:
Hard Hat
Protective safety boots with steel toe and midsole
Health and safety instrumentation shall be used when hazardous or toxic contaminants are known or suspected. Selection of instrumentation shall be based upon the hazards that are identified during the site visit.
Always follow proper travel safety guidelines.

2.2 Personal Hygiene

Always practice good personal hygiene when working at a site.
Avoid hand and body contact with chemicals, oil/oily products, and any surface that may be contaminated. Disposable nitrile gloves should be worn whenever casual contact with chemicals, oil/oily products, or contaminated surfaces may occur.
Avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth with or without gloved hands. Hands and face should be washed with disinfectant soap immediately after leaving the work site. Always wash thoroughly before leaving the site or as soon as possible.
Wash hands before eating or using the restroom.
Eating and smoking are prohibited while in the pilot area of a site; these activities are only to be conducted only in the designated areas.

OSHA (all field staff working for clients in the United States)

It is the responsibility of all field staff to review the health and safety training components on a yearly basis. CPR and OSHA are to be renewed each year and Standard Level First Aid is renewed every three years.

Once each field staff member has completed training, copies of the certificates are to be provided to the Health and Safety Coordinator and the Office Administrator. A copy of each certificate is to be kept in the Health and Safety Binder which is to be on site at all time that the field staff members are working on site.

5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

There are a number of hazards or potential hazards associated with field activities. Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is required when performing certain tasks. No single combination of protective equipment and clothing is capable of protecting against all hazards. Thus, PPE should be used in conjunction with other protective methods. All ISC’s field staff shall follow proper procedure and wear the required personal protection to ensure their safety and that of those working around them.

It is the responsibility of the Health and Safety Coordinator or equivalent to ensure an adequate supply, proper maintenance and distribution of all personal protective equipment.

5.1 Eye Protection

Eye protection shall be worn by field staff while performing duties on site or are in the direct vicinity of other workers who are performing job duties that may cause eye damage directly or indirectly. Occupational safety eyewear provided to employees shall meet or exceed the provincial, state or federal laws governing the location of the site. Safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles are always provided to field staff.

Safety glasses must not be stored in vehicles as UV light can degrade the materials and result in inefficient protection. They should be stored either in a protective carrying bag or in the trunk of the vehicle.

5.2 Hand Protection

To prevent toxic or irritating substances from coming into contact with the skin, adequate hand protection shall be used. Glove selection shall be made based on chemical compatibility. Nitrile and latex gloves are provided to all field staff.

When performing heavy work or using objects with sharp surfaces, heavy-duty work gloves are to be worn to protect against injury.

5.3 Body Protection/Special Clothing

Proper protective clothing must be worn at all times, such as full length pants and long sleeved shirts. To prevent chemical exposure or contamination of clothing, employees should also wear chemical resistant clothing, such as a Tyvex suit. Other protective clothing must be worn when required to prevent exposure to a noxious gas, liquid, dust, flame, or objects which may cut, puncture, abrade or burn skin, or as specified on Material Safety Data Sheets.

5.4 Head Protection

To protect the employee’s head from impact and penetration of falling objects, CSA certified Class “B” hard hats must be worn for protection.

Hard hats are not to be stored in vehicles as UV light can degrade the material and result in inefficient protection. They should be stored either in a protective carrying bag or in the trunk of the vehicle.

5.5 Foot Protection

To protect the foot against rolling or falling objects, and against hazards of accidentally stepping on sharp objects, adequate foot protection must be worn. All ISC field staff are to wear CSA certified Grade 1 footwear (Green Patch) whenever working at a site.

It is the responsibility of the Health and Safety Coordinator or equivalent to ensure an adequate supply, proper maintenance and distribution of all safety supplies and equipment for field activities. Each field staff member is to follow proper procedures to ensure their safety and that of others working around them while using this equipment and supplies.

7. EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY HAZARDS

The equipment and machinery used by ISC field staff are the direct responsibility of ISC and are to be in compliance with legislation. The Site Company may require that it ensures compliance with legislation and may have a policy that it identifies the equipment and machinery requirements to ensure safe use, maintenance and documentation. Where the Site Company’s policies and procedures are more stringent than ISC, the field worker will ensure compliance with the Site Company’s requirements.

7.1 General Equipment

Equipment is to be operated and maintained by only competently trained and authorized personnel
If the equipment is borrowed from a rental company, the Project Engineer is to obtain a signed and dated copy of the most recent certificate of maintenance for the piece of equipment
Prior to use on site, the equipment is to be inspected by the Project Engineer or designate and the Site Supervisor or designate
An operator must never leave running equipment unattended. Hydraulic equipment shall never be left unattended while any part is in a raised position
If the operator’s view becomes obstructed, he/she shall request the assistance of a competent signal person
Excavating equipment shall be equipped with roll-over protection as required by the Regulations for Roll-Over Protective Structures

Never leave power tools or equipment tuned on when unattended
Any tools or equipment that ISC field staff or sub contracted workers bring on site must be stored in a designated area such that they do not create a safety hazard to other workers
The Project Engineer is to be notified about any equipment or tool that is not guarded, maintained or grounded immediately.

8. Site Preparation Procedures

The following guidelines are the minimum that all field workers are expected to accomplish at an initial site visit. These procedures are geared to protect ISC personnel, client’s employees, visitors, general public and unauthorized persons using the site. Since there is large variability between sites, the procedures are not limited to only the following:

Identify site specific hazards and document these hazards in the Site Health and Safety Binder Log Book
Identify tasks to be preformed at the site
Identify and select equipment required to perform the duties
Assign personnel to specific tasks and ensure that related certification documents for each worker are placed in the Health and Safety Binder Log Book
Ensure appropriate safety measures are understood and implemented
Post emergency numbers in the Health and Safety Binder Log Book
Compile all personnel training and machinery tool certifications for the Health and Safety Binder Log Book.

9. Confined Space Entry

All ISC field employees should avoid confined space entry wherever possible. A confined space entry should only be made after consultation with a supervisor. A confined space is defined as a space with limited entry or exit that could potentially have a hazardous atmosphere due to an accumulation of hazardous gas or vapour, or a deficiency in oxygen, because of the construction, location or work activity.

9.1 Hazards of Confined Spaces

Oxygen deficiency/enriched – proper oxygen levels should fall in the range of 19.5% and 23% at atmospheric conditions
Flammable/Explosive Gas/Vapour – the LEL level should not exceed 10%
Toxic gases, fumes or vapours – gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide are very toxic and if present in a confined space, the worker entering the confined space must wear appropriate PPE
Ignition of combustible materials within the tank
Falling objects
Fatigue
Temperature inside a confined space can increase quickly and thus represents a hazard of heat related injury
Noise can reverberate within the confined space and result in permanent hearing damage. If noise is a concern, the worker must wear appropriate hearing protection before entering the space
Pipes and valves must be turned off to prevent the accidental release of gases or liquids into the confined space
Electrical equipment must always be locked out before the field employee enters a confined space

9.2 Confined Space Entry Procedures

Entrant:

Review and sign the entry permit to ensure its compliance with the procedures
Ensure there is at least one attendant for up to two workers entering the confined space
Use or wear the appropriate protective clothing and devices specified on the permit and inform the attendant of defective or absent equipment. If equipment is defective or missing, entrance is aborted.
Alert attendant of any environmental changes and leave the confined space immediately

Attendant:

Test the space at top, middle and bottom of confined space using the LEL/oxygen meter to ensure atmospheric conditions are within the acceptable range and record the values in the safety binder. The attendant will monitor the atmospheric conditions of the confined space using the LEL/Oxygen meter to ensure entrants safety and log any changes in gas detection

The attendant will implement appropriate controls for any hazards within the confined space and then sign the entry permit certifying the hazard has been rendered harmless
The attendant is to remain at the entrance of the confined space until all workers have exited the space or is relieved by another attendant, and maintain constant voice or other agreed upon communication with the entrants
The access to the confined space is to be kept clear and unobstructed
In an emergency, the attendant shall sound alarm – he/she is not to enter the confined space or leave their station until help arrives
When job is completed, the attendant will secure the entry point to the confined space, log the time of completion and return the work permit.

Rescuer (can be attendant):

Provide the entrant and the attendant a rescue plan in case of emergency
Provide the entrant and the attendant with retrieval systems, first aid kits and breathing apparatus for rescue purposes
Remove an injured entrant within 5 minutes if an atmospheric hazard has downed them
Perform first aid as needed

10.Tag-out Lock-out

Energy, such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, pressure, steam, gravity, etc, can be hazardous to health and must be controlled during any repair or maintenance of energized equipment by a ISC employee. Tagout/lockout, to isolate machines, equipment or processes from all energy sources, must be performed to prevent employee injury.

10.1 ENERGY SOURCES

Electrical Energy: Energy such as power transmission lines, transformers, circuit breakers and motors are examples of electrical energy. Electricity can be a direct energy source such as a power hand tool.

Hydraulic Energy: Any fluid held under pressure contains hydraulic energy, for example lift trucks and cylinders.

Pneumatic Energy: Air kept under pressure generates pneumatic energy.

Pressurized Liquids and Gases: These substances, such as steam and chemicals, are kept under pressure.

10.2 Tag out/Lockout Procedures

1) A ISC employee is to inform the on site supervisor that he/she will be performing a tagout/lockout and include a written statement including the time and location of the tagout/lockout,

2) Before the shutdown, the employee is to identify, in writing, the energy power(s) of the system being shutdown. All hazards associated with the shutdown and methods of control are also to be identified in writing. This pre-shutdown list is to be kept in the Health and Safety Binder.

3) The equipment is to be shut down according to safe industry standards or the manufacturer’s instructions.

4) The equipment is to be carefully isolated from energy sources. The source is to be disconnected; removing a fuse is not acceptable. For the primary sources of energy close valves, throw main disconnects or throw circuit breakers as needed. Disconnect or cap any auxiliary power sources such as secondary electrical, steam, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems as required.

5) Apply Lockout/Tagout Devices. Whenever possible, attach your unique colored lock at all disconnect switches, valves, and other energy-isolating devices. A tag is to be attached at the site of the lock with the user’s name and information about the work and the expected completion time. If it is not possible to attach a lock, padlock eyes are to be used and the lock attached to it. If the use of the padlock eyes is not possible then a completed tag is to be placed as close to the energy-isolating device as possible.

Specific Lockout Devices and Procedures

a) Circuit Breaker Lockout – Turn off breaker switch and place a circuit breaker lockout over the switch. Ensure the switch is immovable and then attach unique colored lock through hole.

b) Fuse Lockout – Turn off and lockout the circuit breaker and remove fuse with an approved fuse puller. Attach tag to the de-energized side of fuse holder. Do NOT use a lock as it may cause a short circuit.

c) Plug Locks – Attach the appropriate size lock directly to the plug, clamp shut attach your unique colored lock.

d) Wall Switch Lockout – Remove wall switch plate screws and replace them through the base plate and into the switch assembly with the device hinge up. Ensure switch in off position and rotate the cover to the closed position. Insert your unique colored lock into the hole and verify that the switch is immovable.

e) Ball Valve Lockout – Turn valve handle to off position and put device over the angled portion of the valve handle. Put your unique colored lock and tag into the hole giving tightest fit. Ensure lower paddle is touching the pipe and that the valve cannot be moved.

f) Gate Valve Lockout – Slip over round gate-valve handles and attach your uniquely colored lock and tag. Some sites may use chains to lock valves.

g) Ensure that all stored energy in the system is controlled. Check that all moving parts have stopped, relieve trapped pressure, blank pipe flanges, and/or install ground wires as necessary.

h) Test the system to ensure it has been successfully locked out by activating controls and return to off position.

i) After work is completed, remove all tools from the area. Inform the site supervisor and other workers that the work is completed and that the lock will be removed. Remove your uniquely colored lock and sign the tag. Follow the site supervisor’s instructions regarding machinery start up as necessary.

11. Accident, Incident and Injuries

11.1 ACCIDENT, INCIDENT AND INJURY NOTIFICATION/REPORTING

If an accident or injury occurs follow emergency procedures to ensure all workers are out of danger, provide first aid treatment as necessary, and initiate Emergency Services (911) as necessary. Notify the site supervisor immediately. The injured or affected worker, if able, will record the occurrence in the Accident, Injury and Incident log located in the Safety Binder that is kept on site with field staff while on site. ISC’s Office Administrator will be notified and he/she will provide the appropriate forms to be completed and returned. Any forms required by the Site Company are also to be completed and returned with a copy being provided to ISC.

11.2 INVESTIGATION

The Project Engineer, the Health and Safety Coordinator or equivalent, and the Site Supervisor will begin an investigation of all accidents and serious injuries within 24 hours. A written report will be provided to the management of both ISC and the Site

Company and the Health and Safety Committees for both companies upon completion. Management, the Health and Safety Coordinator, and the Health and Safety Committee will work together to correct any problems associated with the accident and to install new procedures to prevent similar accidents from occurring.

12. COMPLIANCE POLICY

ISC expects all field staff and subcontracting persons to adhere to the policies and procedures outlined in this manual. Each subcontracting company will be provided with a copy of this Field Health and Safety Manual, each worker who will be on the site must read and document their agreement to work in accordance with ISC safe work practices. Safety can only be assured when all workers are committed to protecting their health and welfare when performing job functions on site. It is the position of the company that safety is an important part of all workers job duties that compliance must be given. If an employee is found to disregard these policies and procedures, ISC has designed a system to address and correct unsafe work practices.

12.1 FIRST OFFENSE

If a worker is determined to be working in an unsafe manner that affects his/her health or that of a co-worker, the project manager will immediately stop the worker from continuing with the activity of concern. The Project Engineer will then consults with the employee about the dangers of the behavior and provide proper instruction or training to correct the issue. If the incident identifies an area which needs to be further developed through formal training or redesign of the work procedures, they will consult with the Health and Safety Coordinator to ensure the required solutions are effectively introduced to the Field Health and Safety Program.

12.2 SECOND OFFENSE

If a worker, who has been notified by the Project Engineer concerning a first offence, is found to continue to work in the same unsafe manner, the Project Engineer will issue and official warning. This action is to begin with the Project Engineer ordering the offending worker to stop the activity. He/she will inform the worker that this is the second offence for the specific activity, that this will become part of the worker’s permanent employee record and review the proper procedures to correct the unsafe work habits. The Project Engineer must complete an “Official Second Offence” form within the working day and provide to the worker for his/her signature. Once signed by both parties, copies are to be submitted to the employee, Health and Safety Officer and Office Administrator. If the employee refuses to sign the form, the Project Manager will indicate that fact on the form and will notify the President or General Manager of ISC.

12.3THIRD OFFENCE

If a worker, who has previously been served with a second offence notice, continues not to comply with the required safe working practices, he/she will be required to stop performing the job duty by the Project Engineer. The worker will then be required to discuss the issue with the President and General Manger who will then decide on further disciplinary action. This third offence will be recorded and kept in the worker’s personal file permanently.

Health, Safety, and Environment Equipment

- Vapor scrubber – The vapors from the centrifuge system, storage tanks, and solid cake discharge are pulled by a vacuum pump to a scrubbing system. The scrubbing system sprays chilled water into a vertical column to remove all hydrocarbon vapors. The vapors are then condensed through a chiller into liquid form. The vapor condensate is separated in a vessel, where water is sent to the water treatment and hydrocarbons are pumped to the sales tank storage.

The chilled water will also be used to cool the centrifuge bearings in extreme heat conditions.

-Water Treatment – The extracted water from the centrifuge is treated to meet the 8-ppm discharge specification. The expected water quality from the centrifuge will be <500 ppm of hydrocarbons, which will require further treatment to meet the 8-ppm specification. The water will be treated in a two-step process. The first step is to treat the water biologically in mobile biological treatment tanks. The tanks are fitted with baffles and aerators to optimize biological breakdown of the hydrocarbons. The biologically treated water is then pumped to a carbon filter system to ensure water meets specification. Some of the extracted water will be further filtered and treated for use in the boilers and chemical mixing equipment.

-A climate controlled- break room will be fitted into a mobile shipping container. This control room will have toilets, changing area, potable water, first aide supplies, and a meeting/training room for safety and operational training. The container will also have an office for project manager.

-Safety Equipment – The STS system will come equipped with Hydrogen Sulfide monitoring equipment to notify operators of potentially dangerous H2S levels. All operators will be trained in H2S safety and will be provided with proper safety equipment, including respiration equipment. The project will be equipped with fire extinguishing equipment and all required first aid supplies.
