I recently became involved with EAE Project, a project that for many started in September
2013 resulting in an extremely steep learning curve for me.
I am now in my second shift on the Project and still have a great deal to become familiar
with given all the different works areas.
Since 1987, I have witnessed many positive changes in how we incorporate Safety into our
daily work. Safety used to consist of a simple “Don’t get hurt” philosophy. These days it is
difficult to imagine Safety not being such an integral part of how we approach every day at
work - Things are so much better for everyone since Safety’s profile has increased.
I am a strong believer in the philosophy that when people understand exactly WHY they
want to work safe, they will carry those ideals at work and into their personal lives as well.
We should remind ourselves daily that we have people who care for us and expect to see us come home safely.
The commitment toward safety on this project by all involved has been impressive. Enbridge has done an excellent job of
bringing Contractors together and promoting dialogue not only on Safety but all aspects of the job.

O n October 15th, 2014, Surepoint Group began the EAE project commissioning process at the 203 manifold. Techniques and procedures will be applied to check, inspect, pro-gram/calibrate when required and test every operational component of the project starting from the individual functions of each component of the system up to the subsystem and the system.
In November and December some of the new headers in the 203 Manifold will be going live and the timing of construction and commissioning is critical to meeting the target.
The activities are applied to all phases of the project until the final turnover of the unit to operations by the Senior Turnover Coordinator - Bob Matiushyk.
Our main objective as the commissioning team is to affect the safe and orderly turnover of each unit from con-struction to operation, confirming it’s operability in terms of performance and reliability. Safety and information documentation traceability are essential factors of the successful commissioning.
The commissioning of the EAE project is a challenging and complex task because many of the activities interact with the existing systems. A great attention to detail, planning and real time communication with Enbridge oper-ation personnel - local and CCO, SCADA, PLC Automation and other related trades must be implemented to en-sure safety, efficiency and on a timely manner completion.
Although the commissioning completion target date is a must, personnel safety and protection of the environ-ment will precede each activity and thinking safety and working safely will be the norm.

LESSONS LEARNED - Lee Picco, Sr. Site Safety Coordinator
Some recent ideas and initiatives the WSC has worked to advance:
Supporting the process of installing tall delineators in strategic
locations across site to mark ditches and road edges and to be
tall enough to be seen from the cab of all vehicles and equipment.
Making posters from Dr. Lou’s presentation available to all
contractors. Requested posters were “12 Commitments,” “Healthy Eating” and others.
Helping workers to understand what is expected of them on FLHA
evaluations. A copy of the evaluation went out to Contractor safety coordinators.
The need to remind all drivers to watch for LP pedestrian traffic
on Perimeter Road between 4th and 6th Avenue, especially during darkness.
Housekeeping: The need to clean up as we go along and to
transport tools and materials back to the laydowns once they are no longer needed.
A big thank to all of our WSC volunteers for their valuable input!

Environmental Recognition Congratulations to Paragon’s Larry Bascon for practicing excellent spill containment when mixing paints and coatings on site.
Thanks from Enbridge for leading by example! ~Allison Ussyk - Environmental Inspector~
RECOGNITIONS & AWARDS
“Better to Miss A Minute In Life Than A Life In A Minute“
The following is a summary of key learnings (not corrective actions) that need to be applied
immediately to ensure we are all doing our part in creating a safe work environment.
Our loads need to be properly secured against movement. To do this effectively, we need to plan the work &
work the plan. This has to start at scheduled planning meetings already in place (3 shift look ahead; Daily
planning meetings, etc.), and is to flow throughout the execution of the work as well (Permit Issuing, FLHA,
Stop & Think). If the plan changes, STOP the work and notify supervision.
Confirm loads weights by referencing drawings and/or weight tables.
Identify dimensions and changing weights of our loads, and secure them appropriately taking into
consideration changing conditions, ability for lean for the load to shift/lean/creep, and changes in our center of
gravity.
Use the right tool for the job, not the best tool that’s available. Not all methods of supporting/securing loads
are created equal (i.e. pipe stand designed for the proper size of pipe being supported), so STOP the work until
the right tool is available.
Verbalize the plan by having a group discussion, documenting key steps when completing the Field Level
Hazard Assessment as a crew, and asking questions.
1st Place Congratulations to Manuel Goncalves of Bird Construction for winning this month’s Safety Slo-gan contest
