What is a Hazard?

A physical situation with a potential for

injury, damage to property or damage to the

environment.

It is the potential for energy being released;

the result of which may cause injury or

damage.

Activities are not hazards!

Common Sources of Hazards:

• Workplace Activities

• Tools and Equipment

• Workplace Materials

• Atmospheric Conditions

• Human Error

• Inattention

• Complacency

Common Types of Hazards:

• Physical Hazards – contact that could cause injury such as

burns, cuts, abrasions

• Chemical Hazards – fumes, gases, aerosols, corrosives,

alkalis, chemicals, solvents, sprays…

• Environmental Hazards – noise, heat, cold, wind, ice…

• Biological Hazards – hazards that can cause illness or disease

such as hantavirus, allergies, etc…

• Psycho-social Hazards - stress, fatigue, boredom, long-term

effects of shift work…

• Ergonomic Hazards – cramped workspace, repetitive motion

What are the most common sources of

injury?

• Slips, trips and falls

• Pinch-points (struck by, struck against, caught in)

• Exposure to harmful substances such as chemicals, dusts,

fumes, and vapours

• Fires & explosions

• Sprains and/or strains due to over-exertion or repetitive

motion

Identifying hazards before they become an

incident/accident is essential to a successful safety

program.

Most importantly it could save your life or that of a

co-worker.

No work is to be performed until a thorough and

effective Tailgate / FLHA (Field Level Hazard Analysis)

has been performed.

(OH & S Code Part 2)

Stop & Think:

Take time to observe and inspect your

workspace for hazards.

Use the checklist on the FLHA to assist you

consider the activities of others in your

workspace.

Consider the work you will perform.

1. Identify all job steps

2. Determine the potential risk and exposure to any hazards

using the risk Matrix

After identifying & classifying all Hazards

you must then control them.

1. Eliminate the Hazard: To eliminate the workplace

condition or task presenting the hazard. This is the

best form of controlling a hazard

1. Substitution: Substituting one material or piece of

equipment for a less hazardous one, or a particular

work activity for a safer method

Hazards that can’t be eliminated or

substituted must be controlled.

1. Engineered Controls: Guards, rails, ventilation,

substitution of products...

2. Administrative Controls: Safe work procedures, safety

training, Codes of Practice, shift / schedule planning

3. PPE: Respirators, hardhats, work boots, safety goggles,

FR coveralls...

12. Substance Abuse

Safe Work Practices (SWP’s) are a set of general

guideline’s or “Do’s and Don’ts” on how to

perform a specific task.

PES Safe Work Practices can be found in section 3

of the Health and Safety Manual.

Safe Job Procedures (SJP’s) are similar to SWP’s but differ in that they are a specific step-by-step set of instructions on how to complete a job safely from start to finish.

They are derived using a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).

Experienced workers, supervisors and management work together to identify the hazards and steps to complete a task then develop a SJP for workers to follow – thus controlling the risk of injury or accident to the worker and others on the worksite.

PES Safe Job Procedures can be found in section 4 of the Health and Safety Manual.

All employees are expected to learn about and

familiarize themselves with the SWPs and SJPs in

section 3 & 4 of our Health and Safety Manual.

Copies of the manual can be found in the lunch room,

supervisors trucks and on the DROP BOX application for

smart phone devices.

Consult these Practices & Procedures before performing

the tasks they relate to.

Note: You may be held accountable for failing to comply.

Workplace Harassment

Harassment occurs when a person is subject to unwelcome verbal or

physical conduct because of age, race, religious beliefs, color, place

of origin, gender, mental or physical disability, ancestry, marital

status, source of income or sexual orientation.

Purnell Energy Services believes in the prevention of violence and

harassment and promotes an abuse-free environment in which all

people respect one another and work together to achieve common

goals. Any act of violence or harassment committed by or against any

worker or member of the public is unacceptable conduct and will not

be tolerated.

1. Ask the individual to stop

2. Keep a record of the incident

3. File a complaint with your supervisor

4. You also have the right to contact Alberta

Human Rights Commission or the police

If harassment continues:

An immediate investigation will be conducted

Purnell Energy Services believes in protecting the rights and health of their workers and

clients. Second hand smoke is a proven health risk for non-smokers.

To protect non-smokers or anyone that is allergic to the by-products of tobacco products,

workers will only be allowed to smoke in designated smoking areas. These areas will be

an area that won’t interfere with the health and wellbeing of non-smokers.

A list of where smoking is and is not allowed is as follows:

• Smoking is NOT permitted in the office or shop

• Smoking is NOT permitted near flammable materials

• Smoking is NOT permitted on sites with live facilities

• Smoking is NOT permitted in company vehicles or equipment

• Smoking IS permitted in designated areas only

Inspections are an effective way to control losses to human resources,

equipment and materials.

Inspections identify unsafe acts/conditions and deviations from safe

work practices, safe job procedures, company rules and legislation.

Inspections are also a means of monitoring the effectiveness of our

health and safety program. Inspections should be seen as fact-finding

missions as opposed to fault-finding missions.

Inspections will be completed of the main/office shop, work sites, tools

and equipment.

Formal inspections will be completed on a monthly basis and results communicated to

employees at the following monthly safety meeting.

Each month the safety advisor or their designate will complete a formal Office/Shop

Inspection.

The safety advisor or their designate will also complete at least one (1) formal Worksite

Safety Inspection.

To ensure all tools and equipment are maintained properly employees will be expected to

complete a Monthly Equipment Inspection and Monthly First Aid Kit Inspection.

Pre-Use Inspections on all trucks/equipment and Fall Protection Inspections will be

completed on a prior to use basis.

All completed inspections must be handed in prior to the end of each month, so they can be

discussed at the upcoming safety meeting and deficiencies can be controlled as soon as

possible.

Employees:

Your time will generally be kept by your supervisor for all hours that are billable

to a client/job. However, if you are working on odd jobs/cleanup for PES at the

shop and your work is NOT billable to a client, our SHOP RATE is $17/hr.

You are required to fill out a time sheet with the applicable unit numbers and

submit to the payroll department for each day worked.

It is in all employees and subcontractors best interest

to keep a day timer or book to keep track of all hours

worked in the event that hours are missed. Payroll

strives to check for accuracy when recording time but

in reality mistakes can be made. This will give you a

reference to be able to check your hours against

hours that have been processed by the payroll

department.

**It is hard to remember what hours may have been

worked if you don’t write it down.

Purnell Energy Services has accounts established with different

suppliers and vendors.

If you are asked to pick up parts, job materials or purchase

services using one of these accounts, you will be required to

obtain a Purchase Order (PO) from either your supervisor,

dispatch or accounts department. You will also be required to

show photo identification at each of these vendors.

All receipts, invoices and paperwork must be handed in

immediately for billing purposes and so to not get lost.

If any individual

purchases items or

services personally for

PES from a vendor that

we do not have an

account set up with,

they will be required to

complete a

reimbursement form

and a cheque will be

issued by the accounts

department.
