INSPECTION NOTES



nspection was initiated to review the surface provisions and systems for the tunneling operations using a pressure balancedunnel boring machine (TBM) for the Evergreen Light Rapid Transit system in Port Moody. A joint inspection included a safety a

ygiene Board officer during the inspection. Refer to the associated inspection report from the OSO, Mark Valastin for additionompliance issues and orders.

Review of the emergency rescue plans has determined that the employer has proceeded to embed the TBM approximately 60metres into the hillside on an initial advance to allow for the remaining 4 gantry sections to be positioned and made operationa

he continuance of the tunneling operations. The employer representatives have reported that they have planned for andcheduled 15 workers for the rescue worker training provided through a local provider but did not have any trained rescue work

vailable on shift at the time of the inspection. The initial advance to embed the TBM has essentially been completed without trovisions and availability of the required rescue workers over the two shifts used to complete this work. Subsequently, the ord

ssued in this Inspection Repor t directs the employer to stop any further tunneling, excavation or advance of the tunnel operatio

ntil the rescue personnel have been appointed, instructed, trained and appropriately equipped to render emergency rescueervices and all rescue workers have completed a drill of the rescue procedures to ensure an effective response capability.

Continuance of assembly and maintenance of the equipment as well as all associated work is permitted under the control andmitations stated in the order.

Review of the tag board (i.e. brass board) indicated a number of deficiencies as indicated in the order. These deficiencies seemo be associated with or directly connected to inadequate supervisory review of the tag in systems as required. Ineffective

management of the tag in board was evident due to absence of timely checks and administration of the tag in rules. The tag boalso did not distinguish, make provision for or otherwise identify the underground supervisor, the above ground person or the

ssigned rescue workers on shift.

The installation of the portal fan reportedly did not include an appropriate testing of the duct velocities provided by the equipmepecified in the ventilation proposal/plan. This plan is still being reviewed by the Board at this time. During the initial advance otunnel to embed the TBM, there have been no duct velocity measurements at appropriate points to ensure the ventilation is

working to the design specifications and is continuing to operate to the parameters of the ventilation plan. Air measurementsollowing unspecified procedures were reported and documented through various points of the cross sectional area of the tunn

These readings indicated a range of flows between 150-400 feet per minute but with no interpretation of the data or explanatiothe fluctuations in these readings. The employer has been directed to provide this officer as a requirement of the application fo

cceptance for the ventilation plan, a testing strategy for the testing of the non-conforming ventilation design required byegulation. This strategy must include identification of all testing points and locations and the frequency of testing. Testingrocedures shall be prepared in writing to direct all qualified workers in the effective testing of the ventilation system and the

ecording of the test results in the underground record to maintain a consistent recording of results of testing. These test resultmust be reviewed and assessed by a qualified person in order to maintain and inspect the systems adequately.

Atmospheric sampling was indicated in the underground record however the recording of time was inconsistent in the record. Eshift was not covered as there was only one qualified person testing the atmosphere during his assigned shift. Automated bumesting and calibration was reportedly being done daily. There were no unusual test results reported to date in spite of a numbe

air flow measurements appearing to present high readings on some of the records. These record anomalies were pointed outhe tester and will require review and instruction to correct them. Plans for the sampling frequency during the tunneling operatiid not ensure start of shift sampling and sampling every 4 hours when internal combustion engines are being run in the tunne

The employer was directed to ensure that these sampling requirements are covered in the sampling strategy procedures for thtmospheric testing.

The underground record was not being signed off and did not contain all required information and direction through an

underground supervisor. There was no provision for the record to include documentation, communication or direction of theupervisors between shifts. Incident reporting or other reports such as drills for rescue proficiency were not provided for. A rev

f the record is indicated with corrective actions as required to ensure a complete underground record is maintained.

The grout mixing and pumping station was also included in the inspection. Workers indicated MSDS were available in the offic

owever there was no instruction or direction provided to the operator, related to the precautions for handling, using, storing oresponding to spills related to the controlled products or hazardous products, with consideration to the information provided in
