[Audio] Safety Absolutes Safety absolutes reflect ATCO's core safety values.Violation of any Security Absolute will require: Stop work when there is a violation of a Safety Absolute. Investigate potential high-energy exposures and identify the safe path to resume work.​ Sharing Learning Opportunities: Employees, Supervisors, and Managers (ASL and Contractors/Subcontractors)..

[Audio] Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ASL Management ensures all employees have access to and receive training for approved and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). All ASL employees are trained on the proper selection, inspection, care and maintenance of their PPE during orientation. Contractors and Subcontractors of ASL are required to supply their own PPE as required. PPE is the last line of defense, and employees are encouraged to put additional controls in place to mitigate workplace hazards..

[Audio] Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) MANAGEMENT will be responsible for: Ensuring all employees have access to approved personal protective equipment when required. Ensuring employees are trained on the inspection process and the limitations of PPE. Ensuring employees have access to and use specialized PPE when required. Managers may direct an employee to wear appropriate protective apparel when in their opinion there is a risk of injury. SUPERVISORS will be responsible for: Ensuring all employees use approved personal protective equipment where required. Ensuring employees are trained on the inspection process and the limitations of PPE. A supervisor may direct an employee to wear appropriate protective apparel when in their opinion, there is a risk of injury. EMPLOYEES will be responsible for: Ensuring that they use approved PPE that is appropriate to the risks associated with each job task. Ensuring they maintain, inspect and replace damaged PPE as required. Wearing PPE in the manner it was intended..

[Audio] Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) All ASL employees and visitors will be required to wear the following PPE as a MINIMUM requirement: ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses. Safety toe footwear (must provide over the ankle support for field employees) ANSI Z89.1 approved hard hats. Approved hearing protection must be used when occupational noise levels exceed 85 dB. Appropriate gloves for the specified task if there is a risk of hand injury. Clothing suitable for the hazards encountered at each worksite as per the client agreement. i.e., Fire-retardant clothing where a highly flammable atmosphere is present (oil and gas) Any other specialty PPE required for the task and/or worksite..

[Audio] Emergency Action Plans Examples of emergencies to be prepared for: Fires and explosionsSevere weather (lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes)Hazardous Materials Emissions Medical EmergenciesSecurity Risks.

[Audio] Walking Working Surfaces Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injuries. Ensuring walkways and stair landings are clear is essential to reducing these incidents. Walking/working surface means any horizontal or vertical surface on or across which an employee walks, works, or accesses a work area or workplace. Some examples of walking/working surfaces include: Sidewalk,Roofs,Ladder,Stairs,Gateways,Parking lots,Scaffold,Production Floors Ramps,Hallways/Aisles,Platforms,Job Site/Project Area,Break Rooms,Loading docks,Halls,Warehouse Floors,Office Building Floors.

[Audio] Fall Protection Eliminate – Remove the hazard completely. Take away the need to work where a fall hazard exist. Passive Fall Restraint- When working in passive fall restraint it is not necessary for the worker to utilize a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). Passive fall restraint focuses on guarding edges and other fall hazards with a designed or manufactured solution that would prevent a worker from exposing themselves to a fall hazard. Guardrails are a good example of a passive fall restraint solution. Active Fall Restraint- Active fall restraint involves the worker wearing a full body safety harness and complete personal fall arrest system. For example, if you are 4 feet from the edge, you'll have a 2-3 ft. lanyard so you can't reach the edge. That is what you would use with active fall restraint. You can anchor yourself to several different things such as a single anchor point or an engineered fall protection system. Fall Arrest System- When restraint is not an option, you move to working in fall arrest. When in fall arrest, you can experience a fall, and the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) is designed to arrest a fall and keep the worker as safe as possible. Fall arrest is used when the worker is exposed to fall hazards. A PFAS is utilized to arrest a fall if one occurs. The key component to arresting a fall is the deceleration device, either a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline. It is important that all workers are trained on the components of the PFAS, and the rescue plan should a situation arise. Controlled Access Zones- a designated work area where access is restricted and where workers may perform certain tasks without using conventional fall protection systems like guardrails or personal fall arrest equipment, but only under specific conditions and with strict monitoring, typically used when other fall protection methods are impractical or create a greater hazard; it is clearly marked by a control line and requires a designated safety monitor to oversee activity within the zone..

[Audio] Fall Protection Fall protection is required when the following exposures are present Operating a mobile elevation work platform Exposure to a fall of 4ft or greater Using a scaffold(built in guard rail) Potentially when using a ladder (when over 24') Fall protection equipment must be inspected before each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration by a competent person. Inspections should focus on the following: Cuts Tears Fraying Loose stitching Damage to buckles and D-rings on harnesses Visible defects that could compromise the equipment's integrity.

[Audio] Ladder Safety Ladders shall be inspected before use. Defective ladders shall be removed from service. Ladders must be used as intended. Extension ladders shall extend 3 feet beyond the level being accessed. Extendable ladders should be installed in a 4:1 ratio or as intended by the manufacturer. Ladders must be secured against movement. Stairs should not be conductive..

[Audio] Incident Reporting What is an Accident/Incident/Near miss? Accident- an undesired event that results in personal injury or property damage. Incident- An undesired event that adversely affects completion of task. Near Miss- an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness or damage- but had the potential to do so..

[Audio] Hazard signs are used only when there is an immediate danger. Caution and warning signs are used to warn of potential hazards or to warn against unsafe practices. Red Plastic Tape means "STOP", "Danger", "Do Not Enter" "Hazardous Area" Red Tape is also used for Chemical spills, overhead work, and any unsafe condition with potential for serious harm Yellow Plastic Tape means "use extreme caution when walking or working inside the barricaded area. Yellow tape is used for work such as preventative maintenance, construction, demolition, or small spills such as water and oil..

[Audio] What is Hazard Communication Hazard Communication, is a set of procedures and requirements that ensure the safe handling of hazardous chemicals in the workplace Protect workers from injuries and illnesses Ensure the safe use , handling, and disposal of hazardous chemicals Inform employees of the hazards associated with chemicals in their workplace.

[Audio] Hazard Communication Requirements Employers must provide written information about the identities and hazards associated with chemicals Employers must ensure proper chemical labeling on containers Employers must provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Employers must provide information and training to employees about chemical hazards Employers must develop and maintain a written hazard communication program.

[Audio] Housekeeping Housekeeping- Why is it important? Here are a few key benefits of maintaining good housekeeping: Safety- Reduces the risk of accidents like slips, trips, and falls by keeping walkways clear of clutter. Efficiency- Enables employee to find tools and materials quickly, leading to smoother workflow and higher productivity. Employee Morale- A clean and organized workplace can boost employee morale and satisfaction! Hygiene- Better hygienic conditions by reducing dust and debris, which can improve employee health! Professional Image- Creates a positive impression on clients and visitors. Reduce Fire Hazards- Minimize the risk of fires by preventing accumulation of flammable materials..

[Audio] Housekeeping Shine is part of the 5S methodology. Cleanliness is everyone's responsibility. Only use what is necessary. Clean up while you work. Keep walkways, doors, electrical panels, and life-saving equipment clear. Separate waste in appropriate trash bins. Dispose of chemicals properly. Use dust control on generating devices..

[Audio] Fire safety & Prevention Removing or disrupting any of the four elements of the fire tetrahedron will extinguish the fire or prevent it from igniting. Fire extinguishers work by removing one or more of these elements: Heat- The energy that ignites the fuel can come from natural sources like lightning or the sun, as well as man-made sources like cooking appliances or welding equipment. Fuel- Any material that can burn, such as leaves, grasses, dead trees, or small branches. Oxygen-At least 16% oxygen is required for a fire to start, but 21% is ideal for optimal burning..

[Audio] Fire safety & prevention Fire prevention requires segregating the three elements of the fire triangle. In practice, a method to achieve that goal is to post—and enforce—no smoking signs around flammable liquids and gases as well as have fire watches on all work involving hot work a minimum of 1 Hour after the hot work is complete. Proper storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids will help prevent fires from occurring; only approved, closed containers for storage of flammable or combustible liquids may be used under OSHA rules OSHA requires an alarm system be established by an employer to alert workers on the job site and local fire departments of fire emergencies. Jobsite telephones and employee entrances must have alarm codes and reporting instructions at employee entrances. OSHA requires that all employees be trained to use fire extinguishers. Training is required upon employment and at least annually thereafter. It is recommended the training session cover how to determine when a fire is too big to handle; what type of extinguisher to use; and the PASS system of early-stage firefighting. It also is recommended that live fire training be conducted periodically (this level of training is not needed each year)..

[Audio] Fire safety & prevention Fire extinguishers are mounted on RED columns in the facility.Factory fire extinguishers are of the ABC type.Keep fire extinguishers unlocked and free of obstructions.Additional fire extinguishers may be needed depending on the job.A hot work permit is required for all jobs where hot work is present..

[Audio] Hot work Hot work is defined as any activity that involves the production of sparks or flames, such as welding, cutting, brazing, or grinding. Permit Authorizing Individual (PAI) is the person responsible for inspection of areas where hot work is to be performed and issuance of permits for hot work activities Fire Watch is an individual who is trained in the proper use of fire extinguishers and is familiar with signs of hazards associated with fire. Hot Work Permit is a document that authorizes the safe performance of hot work, which is any work that can generate heat, sparks, or open flames..

[Audio] Hot Work Permit Employees are responsible and accountable for: •Knowing when, where and how the Hot Work Permit is required, and reporting to their supervisor any hot work observed without a properly filled Hot Work Permit. •Receive the necessary training required for this procedure. •Report all hazards, substandard conditions and near misses to their immediate supervisor, and Intervene where an "Imminent Danger" situation has been identified due to uncontrolled sparks, slag or sources of ignition..

[Audio] Safe work plan What is a SWP (Safe Work Plan)? 1. Document used for a hazardous task that is not part of our standard operating procedure. 2. Must be completed by the crew and reviewed by the supervisor prior to beginning work. 3. Involves a thorough hazard/risk assessment. 4. Located in sitedocs.

[Audio] Tool Safety You must be trained to use hand and power tools. Ensure the operator is familiar with manufacturer guidelines The supervisor will perform VOCs Inspect tools before use. Check PSI ratings on all pneumatic tools and connections Nail guns should have a safety tip in place. Nail guns are only used with sequential activation. Verify that guards and safety devices are in place and working. Insulated tools are required for electrical work..

[Audio] Electrical Safety Grounding pin should always be in place on the male end of the cord. Power tools should have a quarterly grounding inspection assured. No field repairs to electrical cord or tools. Tools and cords removed and tagged out of service if damaged. Portable power tools should be double-insulated. Insulated tools needed to work on or near energized electrical equipment. Cables must not be daisy-chained. GFCI is required for all portable circuits.

[Audio] Lockout Tagout "Lockout/Tagout" refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities. Energy sources, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other sources in machines and equipment, can be dangerous to workers. During service and maintenance of machines and equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy can cause serious injury or death to workers. If working with electrical parts, the power supply must be turned off and secured..

[Audio] Forklift Safety ATCO utilizes industrial forklifts as well as warehouse forklifts to complete daily task that require lifting heavy items or carrying material long distances. No employee shall operate a forklift, or any other equipment without proper training and certification. Should someone ask you to operate a piece of equipment you are not authorized to use, please notify your supervisor and or the safety department. Forklifts operators are trained to use the horn when entering and exiting work areas, but employees and visitors should be vigilant and on the lookout for equipment entering and exiting the warehouse..

[Audio] Scissor Lift ATCO designates, trains and certifies qualified employees to operate scissor lifts for certain task. These employees are trained in fall protection as well and given the knowledge to complete hazard assessments prior to beginning work. At no time should an employee be operating the scissor lift without the proper training and documentation..
