2. Risk
AssessmentWhat is Risk Assessment?
Risk Assessment is the process where you:
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
Is there a difference
between Hazard & Risk?
Yes….
Hazard = a situation, condition or thing that may
be dangerous to the health and safety of workers
or cause damage to property or the environment.
Risk = the chance that it can happen (the chance
a person is injured or equipment is damaged
from being exposed to the hazard).
For example, lets say you are working
on a worksite and when completing the
hazard assessment it is noticed that the
scaffolding in place is defective, the
steps are loose and unsafe which may
cause injury to someone if they attempt
to climb onto it.
However, if access to that area was
prevented by a physical barrier or well
marked ribboning the hazard would
remain but the risk would be minimized.
Reduce the Risk
When the risk level has been calculated, the
next step is to identify appropriate controls to
reduce the risk. Controls must always be
developed in accordance with the Hierarchy
of Controls.

(Based on 'Reasonable Expectations' - How likely is this to result in loss?)
STOP activities, work cannot proceed until risk is reduced to a lower level. M itigation must be
implemented and M anager approval is required to allow work to proceed.
Risk controls/ mitigation measures must be implemented to allow work to proceed. Efforts to reduce to
a Low level should be undertaken. Supervisor or Supervisor equivalent approval is required to allow work
to proceed.
Some risk controls/ mitigation measures may be justified. Represents an acceptable level of risk. No
approval required.

• Determine the probability that the hazard will
result in injury or loss
• Determine the consequences if it does result in
injury or loss.
Evaluate the Risk
SECURE’s Risk Matrix provides guidance to
calculate overall risk ranking and assurance
that the hazard controls selected will effectively
mitigate residual risk to acceptable levels. This
matrix also provides approvals that are
required for higher risk task.

3. Energy Isolation
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
2 most common forms of Lockout Types of Energy
Individual Lockout
• Each worker attaches their own
securing device (i.e. personal lock)
• in a case where there is more than
one worker at the SAME ISOLATION
POINT, each worker must attach their
own personal lock.
• Upon completion of task, each workers
removes their lock.
Group Lockout
• One worker (designated by the
supervisor) places their securing
device.
• Another worker must then:
• Place a securing device on the
same isolation points
• Put the keys to each device in a
lockable box and apply their personal
locks on the box.
• Complete the lockout form
• Each worker involved in working on or
around the isolated equipment must
also place their personal locks on the
lock box.
• Upon completion of task, each worker
removes their lock.

Securing Device - A device that holds energy isolation device in an ‘off’ position, strong enough to
withstand inadvertent opening without the use of force, and must be ‘positive’ meaning cannot fall off or
allow the isolated device to move from the ‘off’ position.
Tagout - If equipment can be LOCKED OUT it must be LOCKED OUT, where it cannot be locked out, tags
can be used.
• Tags must be located as close as possible to the device in a position that will be immediately obvious to
anyone attempting to operate the device.

4. Precautions
PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST
Personnel providing First Aid must wear appropriate PPE
DISPOSAL
• Dispose of all contaminated laundry, and PPE into specific containers.
needles or sharp objects into a jar or bottle or hard-sided container.
• If there are no containers available: dispose these materials in
a plastic bag (double bagged) and mark the bag to contain
blood.
• Dispose of any sharp objects in a sealed container or bottle
and mark the container or bottle biohazard.
• An approved license handler will later incinerate the waste.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Workers must immediately wash their hands and other
skin surfaces after contact with blood or other potentially
infectious materials.
DECONTAMINATION
• All equipment and working surfaces must immediately be cleaned and
decontaminated after contact with blood or other potentially infectious
materials.
• To clean: Use soap & water, and disposable towels for drying.
• To disinfect: Use a bleach solution (1 part bleach/ 9 parts
water) and allow it to dry.
Bloodborne
Pathogens
What is it?:
• A pathogen is a microscopic organism such as a bacteria or
fungus that causes disease.
• A Bloodborne pathogen is a microorganism that causes
disease and lives in the bloodstream.
•These pathogens include, but are not limited to:
•HIV
•Hepatitis B & C
•Malaria
•Herpes
How can it be transmitted?:
•Any contact with blood or other bodily fluids,
•contact with contaminated equipment or work areas,
•coughing by an infected person,
•contact with contaminated food, drugs or water. Examples
include:
•Providing First Aid to another person without protecting yourself
first
•Housekeeping after an injury occurs.
•Assisting with administering needles (I.e. Diabetics or Epi-pens)

How to Recognize a Confined Space
Space is completely enclosed or partially enclosed
Space has restricted means of entry & exit
Space is not designed for continuous human occupancy for
large enough for a person to enter.
Space can become hazardous to anyone entering them
because of their design, construction, location, atmosphere,
materials or substances in them, work being performed in
them or other conditions.
All 4 of the above must be present for a space to be considered a
Confined Space.
Examples:
Vaults, manholes, wells, silos, tunnels, tanks, open ditches and
excavations, pipes, etc.

7. Working Alone Plan
A communication plan must be documented to ensure that all
parties (supervisors, designates, workers) understand the
working alone check in procedure.
**Reference the SECURE Energy OnSite Work Alone Plan**
MISSED A CHECK IN
If a worker does not check in as per the established work alone plan:
We will try to contact you, if we cannot…
We will contact any responding personnel on the work alone plan,
if there is no responding personnel close by…
We will initiate response by immediately coming to site or calling
emergency services
Working
AloneAre you working alone?:
Work Alone requirements apply when BOTH of the following
conditions are met:
A worker is working by himself or herself, and
Assistance is not readily available to the worker if there is
an emergency or the workers is injured or ill.
“Readily Available”
Three factors must be considered to determine if assistance is
‘readily available’:
• Awareness – will other people capable of providing
assistance be aware of the workers needs?
• Willingness – is it reasonable to expect that those other
people will provide helpful assistance.
• Timeliness – will assistance be provided within a
reasonable period of time?
IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO WORK ALONE:
Before working alone on a SECURE worksite:
A Hazard Assessment will be done to evaluate the risk to a
worker, which will outline identified hazards and controls.
• Effective communication devices will be provided to ensure
you check in regularly at scheduled intervals with supervisors.
BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Care & Use & Storage
• Store in a safe dry place with enough
support to prevent sagging.
• Store to permit easy access.
• Keep clear from grease, oil, mud, snow, and
slippery materials
Fall Protection &
Ladders
When using ladders, there are times when fall
protection may not be practicable. For Fall
Protection NOT to be worn when working on a
ladder higher than 3 m, all 3 of the following
MUST be met:
1. Work must be “light duty” – less than 15
minutes in length (i.e. painting)
2. Worker center of gravity must be kept
between the side rails of the ladder, AND
3. The worker must maintain 3 points of contact
whenever the worker extends an arm beyond
a side rail.
If any ONE of these conditions cannot be met,
some form of fall protection is required.

Inspection
Prior to using any fall protection system, it
MUST be inspected prior to use. Check
for:
• Frayed edges, broken fibers, burn
marks, deterioration
• Damage or deformity to rings,
buckles, rivets or grommets
• Wear and tear on shock absorbers
and lanyards
If any substandard conditions exist – DO
NOT USE.
Fall Protection Plan

• When there is potential to
fall in or onto a
hazardous substance or
object
Travel Restraint
Keeps you from getting
too close to an
unprotected edge. Whenever Fall Protection Equipment
is Used on a Worksite, a Fall
Protection Plan must be developed
that will identify:
• The Fall Hazards Present
• The Type of System that will be
used
• The Procedures to Assemble,
Maintain, Inspect, Use &
Disassemble the system
• Rescue Procedures
This plan must be available at the
worksite BEFORE work using Fall
Protection systems is started

10. H2S
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
What is it?
Hydrogen Sulphide gas (H2S) is one of the most deadly
occupational hazards. It is a poisonous colorless gas.
Where can it be found?
• Oil & Gas Processing Facilities
• Underground Mines
• Tank Cars (trains), Tank Trucks, Tanks
• Commercial Laboratories
• Septic tanks, sewers, manure handling areas
• Pulp & Paper Mills
• Pipelines
Detection of H2S
In low concentration it is easily identified by its foul odour
(rotten eggs). However, exposure over 100ppm kills your
sense of smell and your ability to recognize the odour of the
gas. To determine the presence of H2S in work areas
MONITOR the area.
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO H2S
1ppm 20-100ppm 100-250ppm 250-500ppm 500-750ppm >750ppm
Rotten Egg Odour Severe eye and
respiratory irritation
Severe eye and

Staggering, stumbling,
“knockdown”, loss of
coordination
Death due to
respiratory paralysis
10ppm–ExposureLimit 1. Continuous monitors - are required in
known locations of H2S – these are
usually set in fixed locations and provide
warnings when the concentration of H2S
rises above set limits.
2. Personal Monitors – battery powered
monitors can be worn by workers to
indicated concentrations in their
immediate area
3. Portable Monitors – these can be carried
to the worksite and moved with workers.
Odour Irritancy Impairment of Nervous System

11. What to do if a visitor shows up on site:
• First, verify that the visitor is someone who should be visiting the
work site. If not, kindly explain that the area is a worksite with
hazards that have potential to harm them & kindly ask them to leave.
• Ensure they report to the site supervisors (note – visitors should never
walk around the site un-attended. Either call the site supervisor over
to the visitor or escort the visitor to the supervisor.
• Give the visitor a site orientation that includes the following
information:
Visitor
Orientations
Who is a visitor?
Visitors tour the office and worksites and have no part in
performing any work being done. This can include landowners,
salespeople, neighbors, senior management, etc.
BE SAFE, BE SECURE

Muster Areas, etc.

12. Working
Near Equipment
Equipment commonly seen on Secure Worksites Include:
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
Loaders Graders Rock Trucks Excavators Dozers
Working Safely Near Equipment
• Stay Away from all sides of the equipment and Danger
Zones. Danger Zones include:
• Blind spots
• Rotating machinery
• Swing zone
• Travel path
• overhead hazards (suspended loads, electrical
lines)
• Close proximity of equipment
• Only qualified and authorized personnel are permitted to
operate equipment.
• Establish communication procedures before work begins
• Where appropriate, install barriers and signs around the
danger zone
• Wear high visibility clothing
• Maintain eye contact with operator when near equipment
• Avoid use of cell phones when operating or working near
equipment
Safety Points
Working safely in and around mobile equipment is a
shared responsibility between both the operator and
the ground workers. Never assume you have the
right of way.

13. Powerline

ACCIDENTALLY
HIT A LINE?
What You Need To Know:
• Keep everyone back 10 meters
• Try to break free and move the
equipment back 10 meters (only
if doing so won’t create larger
hazards or damage to the line)
• If this cannot be done – STAY
IN THE MACHINE & contact the
utility provider – wait for them to
come to site and provide safe
exit.
If an emergency requires
immediate exit of the machine:
• Jump out with both feet together
– DO NOT TOUCH anything
else while touching the ground.
• Hop or shuffle to a distance of
10 meters
Shuffle – keep feet together and
never let one foot extend beyond toe
of other foot – keep both feet on the
ground at all times.
2 Actions that must always be taken
while working near powerlines:
1. Ask yourself “Where’s the Line”
2. Dial before you Dig – have underground
lines located before digging.

14. Noise
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
Noise is one of the most common workplace hazards. Workers in many industries and
occupations are exposed to noise levels that are so high that their hearing can be
damaged. If the sound is loud enough and workers are exposed to it for long enough, their
hearing will be damaged. Fortunately, work-related hearing loss is preventable!
What does levels sound
like?
DBA Common Sound
80 Alarm clock/ garbage disposal
85 Passing diesel truck/ snow blower
90 Squeeze toy/ lawn mower/ arc welder
95 Food processor/ belt sander
100 Motorcycle (riding)/ drill
105 Table saw
110 Rock concert/ jackhammer
115 Emergency siren/ riveter
120 Thunder clap/ torch
125 Balloon pop
Hearing protection devices (HPD) will be available to all personnel who are exposed
to noise levels exceeding 84 dBA.
All workers must wear the following hearing protection:
 For noise levels exceeding 84 dBA - earplugs or earmuffs
 For noise levels exceeding 110 dBA - earplugs and earmuffs
 Work areas with a noise level exceeding 84 dBA will be clearly marked “Hearing
Protection Required” with visible signs on all entry points. Personnel working in a
posted area must wear hearing protection to protect their hearing.
 Hearing protection is also required in areas where intermittent high-noise levels
(release of high-pressure gases) can reasonably be anticipated.

15. Preventing
MSD’s
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
What is it?
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD’s) are injuries or illnesses
that result from repeated stress to the body and can affect
muscles, nerves, ligaments or tendons.
Use mechanical
equipment
where possible
Consider using a dolly,
truck, wheelbarrow,
equipment, etc.
Plan before you
lift
Do you need help?
How far are you lifting?,
is the path clear?
 

Hug the load
Wear proper
clothing
Work from firm

Too Much?
Push when
possible
Step to move in different
directions – avoid twisting
which can injury your back
Don’t bend at your back,
always bend at knees
when picking up a load
Having the load tight to
your body reduces strain
on muscles and back
Ensure clothing is
suitable for the lifting
task
Position feet shoulder
width apart to give you
solid stance to lift.
Always look ahead
when lifting as the load
may cause blind spots
Know your limits.
Request help when
needed. Lift 88lbs Max.
It is safer to push the
load than pull. Reduces
strain & twisting injuries
Reducing MDS’s
• Take breaks when driving or operating equipment for
long periods
• Change posture, take mini breaks to stretch
• Arrange areas so things are within reach
• Adjust grip
• Alternate task

16. Fire Extinguisher
Use
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
Using a fire extinguisher on a small fire and
containing it until the Fire Department or additional
firefighting resources arrive can save lives and/or
property.
Remember, if you need to use a fire extinguisher and
it’s safe to do so, use the PASS method:
Precautions
If the fire does not go out immediately or the extinguisher
empties, leave the area immediately. Back out with the
lever squeezed and nozzle pointed at your feet. This will
help protect you until you are out of the area.
After use of a Fire Extinguisher – REPORT
IMMEDIATELY TO HSE & SEND EXTINGUISHER FOR
RECHARGE
Pull the Pin: This is allow
discharge
Aim at the base of the fire: Hit
the fuel – if you aim at the
flames you may not extinguish
the fire
Squeeze the handle: This
releases the pressurized
extinguishing agent.
Sweep from side to side: Stay a
safe distance away and slowly
move forward.
Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep

17. Ground
DisturbanceWHAT IS GROUND DISTURBANCE:
Ground is disturbed if a work activity on or
under the surface results in a disturbance
or displacement of the soil. Examples include
excavating, shoveling, trenching, drilling, auguring,
backfilling, driving pins or stakes, etc.
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
Underground facilities can
consist of pipelines, tanks,
electrical energy,
chemicals, communication
networks, etc.
Pre Job Planning.
Obtain permits, crossing agreements,
written agreements, review procedures
and practices, etc.
Search the Area.
Define the work area and the
search area. Determine if buried
facilities are present.
(1m on either side of most facilities
30m on either side of pipelines or their
ROW)
Notification
Contact facility owners and advise
them of ground disturbance and request
to locate to all of the facility owners who
are present in the search area.
Locating & Marking
After the notifications are made
marking of the facilities must take place.
Locate marks are valid for 14 calendar
days. (if work does not start, request re-
locates)
Exposure
Determine the extent and method
of exposure prior to mechanical
excavation. Obtain work permits,
conduct safety meetings, identify
distances that must be maintained by
mechanical equipment.
Inspection
Before backfilling work area
ensure the owner of the facility
inspections their facility to ensure no
damage has occurred.

All Other Buried Facilities = 1m (3’)
The ONLY Exceptions:
• Routine, minor road maintenance
• Agriculture operations less than 450mm
• Hand Digging no greater than 300mm

18. Tool SafetySelect right tool for the job:
Most accidents occur in the workplace due to the use of incorrect hand-held tools selected to perform work AND the use of
defective tools. An wrong choice in tool selection and use can make the easiest task dangerous.
BE SAFE, BE SECURE
Guards & Safety Devices
• No guard, handle or safety device is to be
removed from a tools without the written
permission from management. It you see a tool
without guards or handles in place. Put them
back on or tag out of service.
• Other guards may be required to protect other
workers within the area, i.e. welding screens.
When performing any activity that may affect
others, check with your supervisor for guarding
requirements.
• For tools that require a worker to feed materials
into cutting machinery, a push stick/ block must
be used to avoid worker injury.
Inspection
Regardless of tool type, always:
• INSPECT before use
• REMOVE any defective tools
from service by tagging out
and disposing or sending for
repair.
Use
• Use a tool only for it’s intended
purpose and in accordance with
manufacturers specifications
• Always clean and store the tool in a
safe, dry area when finished using it.
Power Tools
• Always read and understand the manufacturers
manual prior to using power tools. Read the
nameplate information and follow warning labels on
the tool.
• Always turn off and unplug the tools before making
any adjustments or changes to accessories.
• Never use power tools in a wet or damp
environment.
• If tools is equipped with a 3 pronged plugs, ensure
a 3 pronged outlet is used (or 3 pronged extension
cord).
• Ensure cutters and blades are clean, sharp and
securely in place.
• DO NOT overreach when using a power tool, stay
firmly planted on both feet.

19. DO’s
• Report all unsafe acts, conditions, accidents, injuries and near
misses to supervisors AND to HSE
