Encourage the active involvement and support of employees at all levels within the organization in promoting and implementing an effective Health, Safety and Environment Management System. Ensure that all Health and Safety information is readily available to all employees..

Workers Rights. All Rumble employees must be aware of and exercise their three rights at all times: 1. The right to know the hazards, 2. The right to participate in health and safety activities, and 3. The right to refuse unsafe work..

The Right to Know. As a worker, you have the right to be informed by Rumble of known or likely hazards in the workplace and to be provided with the information, instructions, education, training and supervision necessary to protect your health and safety. This information will be provided before work begins. For example: Information can be in the form of product labels, safety data sheets, safe work practices, safe job procedures and/or codes of practice. Instructions can be verbal or in writing and be provided by a Supervisor, another employee at the workplace or external providers. Training can be workplace specific, delivered by someone in the workplace, online or be provided by an outside agency as longas it meets the needs for your workplace..

The Right to Participate. This right allows workers to have input on the steps taken by Rumble to ensure health and safety. Workers can provide input on what would make the workplace safe by: Participating as a member of the Joint Health and Safety Committee. Reporting any concerns whenever you encounter a health and safety matter that could cause harm to you or your coworkers health and safety. Making suggestions to the committee or Rumble on how to make your workplace safer..

The Right to Refuse. If you have reasonable cause to believe that performing a work process or using a tool or machine puts you or someone else at risk, you must not perform the job or task. You must immediately notify your supervisor or employer, who will then take the appropriate steps to determine if the work is unsafe and to remedy the situation. As a worker, you may not be disciplined or penalized for following these steps..

Refusing Unsafe Work. Employee will report refusal to work to their supervisor as soon as reasonably practicable and the reason for the work refusal must be documented. Work related to the unsafe condition must be stopped and remain so until the concern has been addressed and corrected. Employee will evacuate from the worksite to a safe location. Investigate and take action to eliminate the imminent danger, if required. Conduct a hazard assessment to ensure a plan is in place to control hazards to an appropriate level of risk. Supervisor will document the employee’s notification, the investigation and the corrective action taken. Supervisor will provide the employee who gave the notification a copy of the employee’s notification, the investigation and the corrective action taken. Return to work if the “imminent danger” to the health and safety of the employees has been eliminated and/or the exposure does not exist..

Definition of Workplace Violence & Harassment. WorkSafeBC defines violence as “the attempted or actual exercise by a person, other than a worker, of any physical force so as to cause injury to a worker and includes any threatening statement or behaviour which gives a worker reasonable cause to believe that he or she is at risk of injury.” Violence isn’t just a physical assault. It also includes threats, verbal abuse, intimidation and the spill over of domestic violence into the workplace..

Workplace Violence & Harassment Program. It is Rumble’s policy to provide a worksite free of harassment and violence. There is zero tolerance of workplace violence, harassment or bullying. Rumble Industries is committed to eliminating or, if that is not reasonably practicable, controlling the hazard of violence/harassment and ensure that workers feel safe and are provided with all the opportunities to succeed. There will always be the potential for workplace violence, harassment, bullying or other aggressive behaviours directed at employees working on Rumble’s behalf. Inappropriate conduct or abusive behaviour directed at any employee will not be tolerated. Rumble will act fairly, swiftly and decisively to protect employees from workplace violence, harassment or bullying. Complaints will be investigated immediately with respect for the confidentiality and sensitivity of the situation..

Responsibilities. Workers must report all incidents of workplace violence and harassment to their supervisor immediately. Remember – it is your right to refuse dangerous work. Violence and harassment is a dangerous condition at the worksite and must be reported and remedied. Workers must actively participate in training so they understand all components of the program and assist in investigations of complains, as required. Rumble’s responsibilities include ensuring this policy, procedure and plan is in place and practices by supplying adequate resources, training employees, conducting hazard assessments, investigating all reports of workplace violence and harassment, and protecting the fair and consistent application of this program..

General Safety Rules. A machine in the snow Description automatically generated with low confidence.

General Safety Rules. All guards must be in place and not modified. Never walk or work under a suspended load. Ensure all compressed gas cylinders are in an upright position and secured. Always use proper lifting techniques. Ask for assistance when required. Zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs on all Rumble worksites. Post incident and reasonable cause testing. Under no circumstances shall a worker direct the discharge of pressurized air, gas or water at themselves or others..

General Safety Rules. Prior to entering a confined space, all workers must have a current ticket Smoking and vaping is permitted in designated areas only. Discharged fire extinguishers must be reported to your Supervisor immediately. Rings and loose jewelry are not permitted. All long hair must be tied back around rotating parts/equipment. Firearms or weapons of any kind are not permitted. Workers must maintain Rumble’s high standard of housekeeping..

Discipline Policy. Over the course of a person’s employment, there may be times when an employee’s actions or conduct does not meet the expectations of Rumble Industries. This policy outlines a series of corrective actions that are available to management and supervisors to ensure that employees are given the opportunity to improve less than acceptable conduct and/or performance. Verbal Warning – A formal meeting between an employee and their supervisor and/or management to discuss the issue and the action to be taken to correct the problem (formal documentation of corrective action begins with this step.) Written Warning – A formal meeting, same as a verbal warning, however this warning is disciplinary in nature and that failure to improve will result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination. Final Written Warning – In most circumstances this is the final step before terminating the employee. Termination – For very serious misconduct, termination may be the first corrective action step. However, in most cases termination is imposed when other attempts to correct the problem have failed..

Incident Management. All incidents must be reported to Supervision immediately, or when safe to do so. Incidents to be reported: Near Miss Property/Equipment Damage Vehicle Collision Injuries Environmental Incidents Reporting an incident on the next shift or next business day is unacceptable and may result in disciplinary action. Never allow a work-related incident, no matter how insignificant to go unreported. All injured workers who are unable to return to regular duties will participate in Rumble’s Modified Work Program..

Hazard Identification & Observation Cards. Rumble uses Hazards Identification cards to report all hazards identified on site. Rumble uses Behaviour Based Observation cards to recognize and document safe behaviours. The incentive program is established to promote participation and help create a proactive safety culture. Rumble requires a minimum of one HID/BBO a week from each worker..

Hazard Assessment and Control. This process is used to protect personnel from injury and occupational illness and prevent incidents at the worksite by identifying and correcting unsafe acts and conditions. Pre-Job Hazard Assessment (PJHA) – This is completed prior to the execution of a job or project. This is a high-level process to identify all tasks, related hazards and controls of a project or job. Job Hazard Assessments (JHA’s) – This is completed on each critical task. It is a procedure which helps integrate health and safety principles and practices into a particular task or job operation. In a JHA, each basic step of the job is to identify potential hazards and applicable control measures. Field Level Hazard Assessment (FLHA) – Prior to work commencing, all workers must be involved in the FLHA process by doing a visual identification of hazards directly at the worksite and establish control measures for each hazard. FLHA’s need to be revisited if new tasks/hazards are introduced..

Methods for Controlling Hazards. Elimination – Removes the hazard at the source. This could include changing work processes to stop using a toxic chemical, heavy object or sharp tool. It is the preferred solution to protect workers because no exposure can occur. Substitution – Replace the hazardous materials/machines etc. with less hazardous ones. Engineering – Reduce or prevent hazards from coming into contact with workers. This could include modifying equipment or the workspace, using protective barriers, ventilation, guards etc. Administrative – Establish work practices that reduce the duration, frequency, or intensity of exposure. This may include work process training, job rotation, limiting access to hazardous areas, atmospheric monitoring etc. PPE – This is the last line of defense and should not be relied on alone to control hazards. This may include gloves, hard hat, respirators etc..

Safety Meetings. Pre-Job Safety Meetings (As Required) – Held to outline all the planned events and hazards of the job, prior to starting the job and will require participation from all workers on site. Toolbox Meetings (Daily) – Held each morning by the supervisor prior to the start of shift to provide information on safety issues related to the daily activities. General Safety Meetings (Monthly) – Formal monthly meetings held by Management each month. All workers are encouraged to attend if available..

Safety Inspections. Inspections are a critical part of Rumble’s Safety Management System and have several specific functions including: Identifying already existing or potentially hazardous conditions Determine the underlying causes of those hazards Monitoring hazard controls Recommending corrective actions that could address each issue at hand Listening to concerns from workers and supervisors Offering a further understanding of jobs and task from safety standards..

Inspections - Responsibilities. Management is responsible for: Ensuring an inspection process is in place to confirm all equipment used by employees performs its function adequately and is free of major defects. Ensuring a process is in place for the inspection of premises, equipment, environment and work practices at scheduled intervals. Ensuring the minimum frequency of inspections is being met. Participating in a worksite inspection every quarter.

Inspections - Responsibilities. Employees are responsible for: Participating in worksite inspections as required. Performing pre-use inspections on all tools and equipment. Removing and tagging all defective tools, equipment and PPE from service. Reporting unsafe tools and equipment to your supervisor immediately Conduct informal inspections regularly to identify risks and hazards.

Emergency Response Planning. Refer to Emergency Response Plan for Site-Specific Procedures. All workers must know who the First Aiders are onsite. All workers must know where the first aid kit, spill kit and fire extinguishers are located. In the event of an incident: Ensure the area is safe and there is not further danger to any involved Do not move any injured persons unless a risk of injury is identified, and it is safe to do so. Never leave an injured person unattended. Contact the site medic/supervisor immediately Secure the scene. Do not disturb the scene of an accident except to attend to persons injured or killed, to prevent further injury or to protect property..

Drug and Alcohol Testing. Employees will: Report to work sober, well rest and fit for duty When under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including prescription or over the counter medication, be obligated to advise their supervisor accordingly upon reporting for work or when contracted to work on an emergency Be immediately removed from the workplace and be evaluated by the supervisor if they are perceived to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Be subject to disciplinary action if they report to work unfit for duty Employees will not: Be in possession, use or sale of illicit drugs or alcohol on work sites Be unfit for work due to the misuse of drugs/alcohol Be unfit for work due to the misuse of over the counter or prescription medication.

Drug and Alcohol Testing. All employees and subcontractors will be subject to the following testing: Post-incident Reasonable grounds Pre-Access Testing (Client/Site Specific) All drug and alcohol test results will be maintained in a secure manner and will only be released to Management of Rumble Industries. Confidential information from a Substance Abuse Professional will be handled in accordance with Personal Information and Privacy Legislation, Health Information Legislation and Canadian Human Rights Legislation. Information such as type of substance, quantity or addiction shall not be disclosed to any other party at any time..

Fire Prevention. The elements necessary for fire to exist are commonly referred to as the fire triangle. These three elements must be present for a fire to exist: Oxygen to sustain combustion Heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature Fuel to support the combustion If you remove any of these three elements, the fire will go out..

Fire Classes. Types of Fire Extinguishers and Fire Classes at Rumble.

Fire Extinguisher Tips. Always know the locations of fire extinguishers in your work area Inspect fire extinguishers monthly to ensure that the pin and safety seal are in the proper position, check the gauge to ensure that pressure inside the extinguisher is in the green and check for visible signs of damage. Only use an extinguisher on a small, manageable fire. If the fire is large, do not attempt to put it out, follow the emergency response plan. Notify all workers around you by sounding the alarm..

P.A.S.S. (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep). PULL the pin AIM extinguisher nozzle at the base of the fire SQUEEZE trigger while holding the extinguisher upright SWEEP the extinguisher from side to side covering the area of the fire with extinguisher agent..

Short Service Employees (SSE). Short Service Employees are workers who have less than 6 months experience with Rumble and/or in their position. This program also applies to employees under 25 years of age. Whether they are new to Rumble or new to the industry, Short Service Employees are at an increased risk of getting injured on the job. The purpose of this program is to safeguard and prevent work-related injuries/illnesses by providing SSE’s with the skills they need to do their jobs safely and protect themselves and their co-workers from injury. Rumble will provide the worker with necessary training to perform their work safely and efficiently. This structured training and evaluation program is to develop competency in the workplace and promote safe work practices for all workers. The SSE will be coached by an experienced mentor. Once competence is verified for all core skills, the worker will be released from the SSE status and will be given a Rumble Industries sticker to go over their existing SSE hard hat sticker. Short Service Employees are prohibited from working on high hazard jobs without Supervisor approval..

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). General PPE to be worn at a jobsite is: Long sleeved shirt and pants (FR outerwear, Coveralls/Bibs may be required at certain sites) CSA approved steel toed boots (minimum 6” rise) High visibility apparel Safety Glasses CSA approved hard hat (side impact may be required at certain sites) Gloves suitable to task Your hazard assessment will dictate what PPE is required for your task..

Hard Hats. Maintain the hard hat according to manufacturer’s specifications, periodically check the hard hat shell and suspension for any signs of visible damage. Follow manufacturer’s specifications for hard hat life span, general rule is to replace after 5 years. Do not store hard hat in direct sunlight. Do not reverse the hard hat shell from the liner or wear backwards unless designed for that purpose by the manufacturer..

Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE). There are two types of respirators: Air Purifying Air Supplying The potential hazards that require RPE: Particulates (dusts, mists, fumes, fibers, smoke etc.) Gases (H 2 S, ammonia, hydrogen chloride, chlorine) Vapours (Acetone, xylene, ethanol) Oxygen Deficient Atmosphere (less than 19.5% O 2 ) Confined Spaces Anytime you are using a product where the SDS stipulates one is required.

Respirator Tips. There are different types of cartridges depending on the hazard. Check with your Supervisor if you are unsure. All workers must have fit test prior to donning a respirator – this ensures the proper size respirator is worn. Every year. Only use new cartridges. Make sure the cartridges are installed properly. Change cartridge if it becomes difficult to breath (overloading of particulate). Change cartridge if you can smell chemical, but first perform a fit check Do not soak or submerge cartridge Do not use cracked or damaged cartridges. Store clean cartridges in a clean, dry place. Tag out any damaged respirator and have it repaired at a proper facility..

Respirator Protective Equipment. The following may affect your seal: Facial hair (beards, sideburns) Shape of face (small, medium and large sizes) Glasses Dentures Activity Chewing gum.

Lifting and Handling. Lifting, handling and carrying objects at work can result in musculoskeletal injuries (MSI’s), including strains, sprains and other injuries. The risk of injuries increases when bending, twisting, heavy loads and awkward postures are involved. Effective ergonomic controls can reduce the risk and prevent injuries..

Lifting and Handling - Risk Factors. The weight of the load. How close the load is to the body. A load lifted far from the body imposes more stress on the back than the same load lifted close to the body. The size and shape of the load. The distance the load has to be carried. The initial height of the load and the vertical distance lifted. Lifting in combination with twisting. How long the load has to be carried. The number and frequency of lifts performed..

Lifting and Handling – Reducing the Risk. Engineering Controls Making physical modifications to facilities, equipment and processes can reduce exposure. Some examples include lifting aids such as hoists, pallet jacks, carts etc. Stooped or twisted positions can sometimes be avoided by providing unrestricted workspace or arranging the workspace differently. When possible, shorten carrying distance by changing the workflow..

LIFTING DO'S & DON'TS LFTASATEAM Do lift bulky or heavy loads as a team. Doing so is smart and the safe way to work. [Ela BULKY LOADS ALONE Don't "ft bulky or heavy loads alone.

Overview. WHMIS Overview Routes of entry, hazard classification and pictograms Labels and safety data sheets Education, training and safety guidelines.

The Right for Workers to Know. WHMIS first came into effect on October 31, 1988. It was created to address the rights of Canadian workers, to know about health and safety hazards associated with chemicals that they use or may come in contact with in the workplace..

WHMIS Adopts GHS. In February 2015, Canada aligned WHMIS with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. GHS was developed as an international initiative to bring global standardization to chemical hazard classification and communication. While the adoption of GHS has resulted in some changes to the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, it offers the same, if not additional protection to workers. The aligned system is now referred to as WHMIS 2015. WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System..
