Creek Water. Local creek water is not drinkable and should not be used for camp Acid drainage is due to pyrite in our local shale basin, natural but contains high levels of metals, low pH Will damage equipment.

Basic Camp Rules. Basic rules include: No illegal drugs or alcohol, No recreational drugs (marijuana), and no substance abuse. Bags/packages may be subject to search before arriving on site No fighting or offensive behaviour; intimidating, abusive and bullying behaviour will not be tolerated in any instance No offensive material No noise and loud music after 9:30pm as well as consideration during the day for night shift workers Limit use of communal phone/internet services.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Every task is likely to require some form of PPE. Personnel are to be familiar with the relevant procedures and necessary PPE. It is a legal obligation to comply with all PPE requirements. Work areas requiring specific PPE will have signage indicating what is necessary. As a basic guide, the following areas require the indicated minimum PPE. Other PPE may still be required: Drilling – feet, head, ears, eyes Core shack – feet, eyes Core saw – feet, ears, eyes Working around heavy equipment or vehicles – high visibility vest or jacket.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Requirements provided by the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) Labels and data sheets required for substances used in an occupational setting (not required for products generally packaged for household consumption) Examples on site include fuels, acid, drilling products Labels provide important safety and first aid information SDS sheets provide detailed substance information (can be found in project office).

Incident Reporting. How do we report incidents? Why do we report incidents? To see where safety concerns are Identify hazards Identify system failures Alert others to dangerous circumstances Worker’s Compensation All incidents, potential hazards and near misses will be reported AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to your Supervisor and Ops Manager..

Incidents vs Near Miss?. Incidents Injury Damage to equipment Spills (fuel, drill cuttings, etc.) Wildlife interactions Fires Near misses Injury-free occurrences where you “got lucky” Equipment nearly damaged (e.g. truck slides into ditch) Unsafe situations ALL incidents and near misses must be reported. Reporting near misses helps prevent incidents..

Risk Assessments. Some tasks on site will have documented procedures / methods for how to carry out the work. Be familiar with these procedures. if there is no procedure, if you are unfamiliar with a task, if the conditions for the task have changed, or if it is a task that is rarely done a risk assessment is required.

Surface Transportation. Vehicles on-site: Side by Side Pickup Trucks Kubota Loader Fixed wing aircraft Helicopter Vehicle Orientations All personal must have an orientation with on-site vehicles prior to use. Conduct a vehicle inspection prior to every use..

Side by Side Orientation. Orientation required Personal Protective Equipment Helmet, eye wear, boots etc. Pre-use inspection Walk around & log book Operation Low gear when hauling gear/equipment Wheel Chocks on all vehicles.

Loader Orientations. Personal Protective Equipment Steel toes, hard hat. Pre-use inspection Walk around & log book Operation Speed limit 10 km/h.

Fixed Wing Activities. With the Macmillan Pass airstrip close by, fixed wing aircraft will play a significant role in the transportation of people and freight for the Macpass Project..

Helicopter Activities. Pilot will provide safety briefing prior to flight but remember: Main and tail rotor and exhaust – extreme danger Rotor wash – high winds cause projectiles Sling gear danger – do not stand under loads and only receive loads after specific instructions from pilot Only certified personnel can assist sling load operations.

Drilling Activities. Drilling is the most significant project activity but will be occurring well away from camp Workers visiting drill sites require a separate induction provided by drill crew PPE (Hard Hat, steel toe boots, ear protection, eye protection) is required at the drill sites at all times..

Core Shack. Significant worksite with subtle hazards that are easily underestimated: Lifting – use proper technique Repetitive strain – proper posture, anti-fatigue matting Eye hazards (acid, rock chips, dust) – use eye protection Core saw rotating blade – mind fingers, stay alert, no loose fitting clothing Knife cuts – cut away from you and others, wear gloves Slips, falls – keep pathways clear, grip handrails, use sand/salt in cold weather, wear solid footwear with good grip.

Slips, Trips and Falls | Use of Tools | Lifting. Slips trips and falls - keep pathways clear, grip handrails, use sand/salt in cold weather, wear solid footwear with good grip Small tools are common around camp – do not operate without proper instruction and PPE Lifting – a daily activity but simple way to cause injury. DO IT RIGHT!.

LIFTING DO'S & DON'TS E LIFT AS A TEAM Do lift bulky or heavy loads as a team. Doing so is smart and the safe way to work. UFT BULKY LOADS ALONE Don't lift bulky or heavy loads alone. Doing so puts great stress on your low back muscles and spine. E TURN WITH LEGS Do move your legs and feet when tuming or lowering the load. Avoid twisting at your waist. WIIST WHEN LIFTING Don't twist when lifting, lowering, or carrying any load as this increases your risk Of back injury. USE YOUR LEGS DO lift the load using your powerful leg and buttocks muscles. Your feet should be wide apart, head and back upright. Keep abdominal muscles tight and the load in close. USE YOUR BACK Don't lift the load with your rear end high and your lead low. Use your leg muscles, not your weaker low back muscles. i iiijiÖ'. E USE EQUIPMENT Do use equipment like hand trucks, dollyS, or forklifts to do the heavy lifting. It's much less work and less risk Of injury. LIFT HEAVY LOADS Don't lift heavy loads when you can use equipment. It is less work and less stress on your low back..

Spill Response Plan. RESPOND QUICKLY Ensure the safety of yourself and others Identify the spilled material Shut off ignition sources – no smoking Assess the severity of the spill Call for assistance and report all spills immediately Stop product flow if possible Contain spill and recover as soon as safely possible (strive to contain spill within 1 hour and recover within 6 hours) RESPOND SAFELY Do not contain gasoline or Jet B (vapours might ignite) Allow gasoline and Jet B to evaporate where safe to do so Consult MSDS for product response guides for safe handling and cleanup information. OBTAIN AND REPORT SPILL DETAILS Collect information on date, time and location of spill and notify the Environmental Technician onsite Identify spilled substance and record cause, volume released/contained Actions taken for cleanup External/Internal Reporting.

Wildlife Observation. Hazard Assessment - SiteDocs.

Wildlife Awareness. The project is located in Bear Country. Watch the Bear Awareness video. In Camp: Be aware of bears in camp, always keep an eye out before exiting a building to make sure the path is clear Don’t leave food in tents Field Work: Fly over worksite before landing and prescreen for wildlife Work in pairs whenever practical and always when bears are known to be in the area Beware moose – especially during fall rutting season.
