1) Matte Processing FBR June Elevator Incident SAP IM# 17062016 by Greg Mumford - An elevator in the Matte Processing FBR building tripped out on overload and a worker was trapped between floors. The elevator mechanic was called in and was unable to raise or lower the elevator to one of the floors to safely extract the individual. Lesson: A decision was made (without a formal risk assessment) to use the hatch on top of the elevator to rescue the worker, this could have endangered workers or rescuers.

Reminder: 2016 International Mine Rescue Competition Aug 19th to 26th. (IMRC2016.ca)

(presentation attached below)Stop & CorrectsThey let us know:- what hazards our people are seeing in the field - how our people are managing risk- what hazards our people need help managingThe help us to:- warn each other of dangerous site conditions- be our brother's keeperIncrease communication and demonstrate / stimulate action between all Team members!

Differed to September 2016 due to schedule conflicts

Comments:Bruce Bichel: the PHR Process is the first defense to identify risks and mitigation strategies and is proven to be an effective system if it is used and applied properly. During construction activities be sure to "step back" and complete a JHA for non-routine tasks with the workers.Trueman Hirschfeld: PHRs should be specific to that job for the work being done and written in a way that workers will remember.

Comments:Karen Proulx-DiPietro: www.SickNotWeak.com aims to create a community that reduces the loneliness and hopelessness of both those who have mental health illnesses and the people who care for them.

COMPANY: XXXXX

LOCATION: Clarabelle Mill, Core Building Area

Incident Description:

Contract worker was unpacking a shipment of Victaulic couplings in the laydown near the Core

Building. He first picked up a 14” Victaulic coupling and put it up on his left shoulder. He then grabbed

a 6” Victaulic coupling in the right hand and proceeded inside door #14A. He was heading to a storage

shelf inside the Core Building. Deposited the smaller 6” coupling on the shelf and then attempted to

transfer the 14” coupling from his shoulder to the floor. In doing so, his left arm was put inside the

coupling which has very sharp rings (since it is meant to bite into HDPE pipe).

As he was transferring the coupling, the sharp ring made a 3” laceration on his forearm that

required medical attention (7 stitches). He returned to work without restrictions.

Immediate Action:

Report to Supervisor and Health & Safety Rep

Worker brought to North Mine First Aid Station by Site Health & Safety Rep.

ACTUAL SEVERITY (H&S): Medical Aid

POTENTIAL SEVERITY (H&S): Modified Work

ASSOCIATED CRITICAL ACTIVITY: CAR06-Lifting of loads (Material Handling)

Golden Rules

GOLDEN RULE:

#5 – Lifting and Mechanical Handling

Worker exceeded weight limitation

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS


BASE METALS / ONTARIO OPERATIONS / PLANT NAME

• Improper Material Handling

• Worker carrying to much weight/material (exceeding weight

limitations)

• Groove on the inside of the coupling are extremely sharp, only two

clamps on site of this type

• Worker did not recognize the hazard due to the fact that he had

moved many different style clamps that day which do not have the

sharp groves on the inside as style 995 for HDPE.

ACTION PLAN


BASE METALS / ONTARIO OPERATIONS / PLANT NAME

• Review incident with crew, distribute throughout

Contractor Team

• Ensure to follow weight restrictions

• Never carry this style of coupling with arm on the

inside

When exceeding weight limitations:

• Use buddy system to help lift the clamp with hands

on the outside

• Use appropriate method to transport materials (cart,

buggy, buddy, etc.)

What are we doing using the Hierarchy of Controls

Speak to OEM’s


Technology constantly changing

• Suppliers:

• Represent several companies • Too many products to speak/know about

• Often deal with procurement only

• Not always up to date

• Possibly not aware of new products

• Not trained for complex technical questions

Speak to OEM’s


Get to know your factory reps

• OEM’s represent the factory

• Expert technical reps

• Fully trained on new/existing technologies

• Access to company expertise

• Free resource

• No cost end user training/inspections

• Audits/Best Practises

• New products often available

• Safety and Efficiency a main driver

• Efficiency = Safety

• Efficiency = Lower Costs

Case in point - Victaulic 905/908 HDPE systems

Vale 2016 Safety Initiatives: Mental Health Awareness in the Workplace

TRIf Target:

• TRIf (Total Recordable Injury frequency) for 2015=15.2

• TRIf Actual to date for 2016= 0.0

NEW 2016 safety initiatives in place to help us hit our target

• Increased Mental Health Awareness

• Introduce a comprehensive workplace wellness program

• Train employees on how to recognize symptoms and provide the appropriate 1st response assistance

• Evaluate and continuously improve our program’s efforts

• Obtain Management Support

In The Workplace

There is strong evidence that certain features of the workplace can affect employees' mental and physical health. These factors include demoralization, depressed mood, anxiety, burnout, etc. These factors increase the likelihood that an individual will experience increased stress, which in turn increases the likelihood of developing or worsening a mental disorder.

• Mental Health problems and illnesses account for 30% of disability claims and 70% of the total cost of disability claims.

• Only 34% of employees report having readily available access to services and tools in the workplace to help with mental health issues.

• 35 Million days are lost each year due to mental health.

• $50 Billion is lost in productivity yearly in the Canadian workforce due to mental health issues.

• 1 in 5 Canadians experience a mental health problem every year, however employers are not educated on how to recognize symptoms or provide appropriate assistance. Reference: Mental Health Commission of Canada

2 Presentation Title – 01/12/2010 (optional)

Golden Rules

#1 The Fundamental Requirements

‘Only perform work that you are trained, qualified, authorized and FIT to perform.’

Being FIT for work not only encompasses the physical aspect of the task but the mental one as well. Focusing on the task at hand and ensuring your mental health is in order prior to walking onto the site is one of the most important aspects of the day.


Risk Factors

Both physical and mental health are the result of a complex interplay between many individual and environmental factors. These risk factors include:

• family history of illness and disease

• lifestyle and health behaviours (e.g., smoking, exercise, substance use)

• levels of personal and workplace stress

• exposure to toxins

• exposure to trauma

• personal life circumstances and history

• access to supports (e.g., timely healthcare, social supports)

• coping skills

When the demands placed on someone exceed their resources and coping abilities, their mental health will be negatively affected


Psychological Risk Factors

The psychological factors that impact organizational health, the health of individual employees and the financial bottom line, including the way work is carried out and the context in which work occurs, are:

1. Psychological Support : Increases employee desire to stay with our organization (Working Towards)

2. Organizational Culture: Laari Construction has an open door policy (Established)

3. Defined Leadership & Expectations: Clearly defined expectations (Established)

4. Civility & Respect: Clearly defined violence and harassment policy (Established)

5. Psychological Job Fit: The right person for the task (Established)

6. Growth & Development: Encouragement and support in the development of job skills (Established)


Psychological Risk Factors Contd

7. Recognition & Reward: Acknowledgement and appreciation of employees efforts (Established)

8. Involvement & Influence: Employee are included in the decision making process (Established)

9. Workload Management: Ensuring tasks accomplished in a timely manner (Working Towards)

10. Engagement: Employees enjoy and feel connected to their work (Working Towards)

11. Balance: recognizing the need for balance between the demands of work and life (Working Towards)

12. Protection of Physical Safety: Policies and procedures in place to protect workers (Established)


Comprehensive Workplace Wellness Program

A psychologically safe and healthy workplace is one that promotes workers' mental well-being and does not harm employee mental health through negligent, reckless or intentional ways

Along with the existing occupational health and safety procedures that deal with the physical work, a workplace Wellness Program should be established. This will encourage an organizational community involvement within your company and provide workers with the appropriate personal health resources and guidelines.

Elements of a successful wellness program:

• Practical and accessible .

• Wellness is integrated into the workplace structure.

• Create a communication plan.

• Add incentives for employee engagement


What can you do?

Below are eight strategies that employers can use to encourage positive mental health:

1. Encourage active employee participation and decision making

2. Clearly define employees' duties and responsibilities

3. Promote work-life balance

4. Encourage respectful and non-derogatory behaviours

5. Manage workloads

6. Allow continuous learning

7. Have conflict resolution practices in place

8. Recognize employees' contributions effectively

Process Hazards Review (PHR) Program

Update (see below for further details)

The PHR Template (NAV-TP-0019) has been updated based on user feedback. An interim PHR spot audit has also been completed to identify any PHR Program or Training gaps. A formal PHR Audit will be completed for the Ontario Operations between the months of August and November of 2016.

PHR Template Revisions Include

An “attended” column was added to the Attendees Tab to identify who attended the PHR Meeting; the Signatures column is now a Comments column; the Print Sign In Sheet button adjusts row heights

The facilitator role for FEL Study / Design PHR’s has been clarified; the PEC will act as Facilitator when the PMO will be executing the related fieldwork, and will delegate specific duties to the DTL where applicable as per SPEC-02001

The Hazards Checklist and Triggers Tabs have been alphabetized, and a new hazard category added for PROCESS CHANGES

The Design Hazards Triggers have been reviewed and updated The Minutes Tab has been updated to include user guidance in the “EVENT/ISSUE”

column. The Minutes Tab guidance now also appears in the [Entry By Record View]. The standard headers have been updated to eliminate unnecessary fields

PHR Audit

A formal PHR Audit for the Ontario Operations will start in August 2016 and continue until the end of November 2016. PHR Facilitators may be contacted by designated PHR Auditors requesting an invitation to an upcoming PHR Meeting or to provide the final PHR documentation. Audit results will be shared with the individual PHR Facilitators providing Auditor feedback and a final Audit Summary provided to Senior Management. The standard PHR Meeting Audit and PHR Documentation Audit templates are available for review on the L&D Internal SharePoint Site and in the Navigator – Project Toolkit.

Reminders from Interim Audit

The PHR Facilitator should communicate to the PHR Meeting attendees the level of detail that should be discussed and ensure all attendees understand the PHR Process. The PHR CBT Training is available for Contractors via the PMO Extranet Site.

A PHR Meeting is to focus on only the high potential risks associated with the work and the control measures to mitigate them. For Construction / Commissioning PHRs a Contract Specific Safety Plan (NAV-TP-0095) should be completed prior to the PHR Meeting to reduce the time required during the PHR Meeting to discuss general items.

The PHR Scribe is to ensure that all PHR Meeting Participants are identified on the PHR Attendees Tab as having attended or provide a justification comment as to why any “Required” attendee(s) were absent.

The main supporting documents are to be listed or attached on the PHR Methodology Tab.

The EXISTING PROTECTION on the PHR Minutes Tab is to only list existing protection that is already in place by Vale and/or the Contractor, or is already included in the design. The applicable document title and number should be listed, with specific details to a level appropriate for the hazards. Generic “motherhood statements” are not to be included.

The ACTION column is only to include statements for new or additional controls that will be put in place to mitigate the hazard and should be phrased as a clear auditable action statement with one individual’s name listed that is responsible for completing that action.

For Construction / Commissioning PHRs, if the work is underway or complete, the Workers Sign-off Sheet is to be attached to the source PHR file. This can be done using the built-in [Attach] button provided within that tab in the PHR. Ensure that any Sub-contractors / Technical Reps have also reviewed and signed off on the PHR and that those Worker Sign-off Sheet(s) are attached to the source PHR file.

A separate PHR must be done for Commissioning activities. A Commissioning PHR is required under almost all circumstances, with very few exceptions, as most work involves installation / modification of powered equipment, new instrumentation, control system(s), process monitoring system(s), process containment, “pressure boundary” systems or equipment, or other changes to Operating Plant equipment / systems that require testing to confirm proper operation. In addition to the relevant hazards identified during the Construction PHR, Commissioning PHR’s should identify the ongoing operational hazards related to the equipment or process and the additional hazards of the specific commissioning tasks being done, as well as the required controls.

The Charge of the Light Brigade

5

How will Stop and Corrects prevent another

“Charge of the Light Brigade”

6

They let us know : - what hazards our people are seeing in the field - how our people are managing risk - what hazards our people need help managing

Details – Crew was about to move snorkel lift from back end of ID fan bldg. to north side of fan building. Upon doing a SLAM of area it was noticed that area was being prepped for paving but the roadway area appeared to require a bit more compacting before snorkel lift entered the area to make sure ground was stable

Corrective Actions – Crew contacted paving crew and ask that they compact the area. The paving crew did so immediately.

Details – Worker was backing up forklift in high traffic volume area.

Corrective Actions – Second worker saw him backing up and went and controlled traffic and spotted him backing up.

Corrective Actions - Report to Supervisor.

Details – Pinch Point on stairs between 4th and 5th floor still not corrected. This is the 2nd stop and correct for this area

7

They help us to: - warn each other of dangerous site conditions - be our brother’s keeper

Details - RCI worker came across a sharp piece of metal protruding in walkway creating cutting / puncture hazard.

Corrective Actions - Worker covered end of metal to eliminate the hazard and notified company that was handling it when they arrived back on site.

Details - Crew was moving material into east end to build scaffold in the hoistwell. They were doing this by means of a forklift. At the same time crews were heading out for break and walking into the area

Corrective Actions - Crew stopped and told to wait 5 minutes until everyone had passed then restart job.

Details -Crew moved from outside work to inside the building for work. While outside some of the crew were wearing safety sun glasses. The were about to enter and work with the sun glasses on. Crew was stopped as it would create a hazard as the lighting is poor in the hoist well and not sufficient for sun glasses.

Corrective Actions - Had crews change from Safety sun glasses to regular clear safety glasses. This provided a safer site.

Details - Worker had taken off safety glasses because they continued to fog up. Worker said he could not see properly if glasses kept fogging up. But worker was putting themselves at risk when they took safety glasses off of getting something in their eye.

Corrective Actions - Gave worker a wipe that is supposed to keep safety glasses clear of fogging up. The wipe did the job. Gave worker a couple more wipes in case glasses fogged up again. Weather was a factor in the lenses fogging up because of high humidity.

8

Increase the visibility of hazards that have been identified on site Engage more team members to take part in the solutions

Details - Arrived at the site and saw signs of water on the floor. Someone had used a hose on the floor above us and water fell on our hoarding and worked its way onto the floor.

Corrective Actions - Reported what had happened to the Control Room and they shut the water valve off and tagged it.

Details - 2 spall's were noticed at 486' level in this area pieces were on the grating. ICM employee noticed 2' up and located were they cam from. The pieces were 2" to 2 1/2" big.

Corrective Actions - ICM moved a rubber mat to this area to catch any more spall's that may drop. This area is contained and clean so any new spall's can be seen. Pic's will be taken.

Details - Base for air tugger, low visability at foot level can catch an ankle, foot.

Corrective Actions - Paint base safely yellow and put cones on the corners. Now it is high visability to workers and operator.

Details - Entered new baghouse through west entrance and came across a mess of barricades and did not know which side of barricades I was on.

Corrective Actions - Spoke with various contractors working in area to confirm barricading and asked if they could leave a pedestrian walkway through which is clearly defined.

Ontario Operations Monthly Contractor Safety Meeting Message

July 2016 Instructions:

Please review the message in the box below with all Contractor workers (field personnel), as part of a daily toolbox talk / crew line-up meeting by Friday, August 5th 2016.

This message is to be delivered by the crew supervisor or by the Safety / Health / Environment Coordinator.

Submit the Worker Sign-off Sheet to your Vale Representative with your Weekly Contract-Specific Safety Plan Compliance Audit package (formerly Weekly Safety Plan Compliance Report).

New / Young Workers Operating Mobile Equipment

There’s a difference between having a license or certificate, and being a competent operator of mobile equipment! Formal training and experience will improve your skill level and help you become competent to operate with minimal supervision.

Many accidents involving new or young workers and mobile equipment are related to a lack of training or a lack of supervision, or both. Accidents often happen during small or “routine” tasks, such as moving the equipment a short distance to park it.

Training is done to increase the worker’s ability to operate the equipment safely. It should be done in a controlled environment, away from distractions and other hazards.

New or young workers are usually eager to impress and reluctant to say “no” to a boss or a co-worker, and they may not recognize all of the hazards onsite. Add in the risks of mobile equipment, and everyone on the jobsite can be put in danger.

Remember:

Operators must have proof of training and a license to operate before using mobile equipment

Operators need to know their blind spots for each piece of equipment

Use a signaller where needed - make sure the signaller has been trained on standard hand signals

Where possible, plan a drive-through site and eliminate the need for vehicles to back up

Wear your seatbelt, and only operate when in the seat

Never allow an operator to work without direct supervision if they are not competent to operate the equipment safely, through proper training and experience.
