Training Levels

The following information is to be used by management in the assessment of the wage provided to technicians. There are two components to the wage: 1. Qualifications 2. COLA (Cost of Living Allowance); Technical Remuneration is based on qualifications achieved. There is a numerical raise attached to each qualification. For example, the achievement of a Class 3A drivers license results ins an automatic raise and the achievement of becoming a Measurement Canada inspector results in an automatic raise. The technician shall be started at a step that considers the qualification and experience of that tech. The second component comes into play if a technician does receive any new qualifications, therefore does not receive a raise, for one years time. In this case COLA (cost of living adjustment) comes into affect and is given based on an anniversary or hiring date. In regards to technicians who are fully qualified and have been with the company for a long time, wage will be looked at annually to ensure they are properly compensated. In conjunction with qualification raises and COLA requirements at every raise include: following company policies to work always in a safe and efficient manner; protecting the customer and their assets and property; protecting yourself and the company including its reputation and assets at all times; presenting yourself in a polite and professional manner; refraining from abusive or harassing behavior or language; and complying with standard company policies and procedures as indicated in the Weigh Scale Service Technician job descriptions, skills matrix, code of conduct and other company documents.

1. Make sure there are no obstructions in the work area. 2. Perform safety walk around.The truck must be level before loading or unloading weights. 3. Open the back doors and lock them to the main body with the clips. 4. Ensure the handle is folded in so it won’t contact the cargo body. 5. Place pylons appropriately around the weight drop area. 6. Swing out hoist tracks and install lock pins.Remove hoist parking boomers. 7. Using the wireless hand held remote, press the start button.

The wireless receiver will show two lit LED’s when turned on.

The hoist is now ready for use, if needed turn on the cargo box lights. The switch is located on the driver’s side just inside the rear of the cargo area.

1. Move hoist out to the open for a cable inspection. a. **NOTE: if the cable is showing wear (broken strands) contact your supervisor

immediately.** b. **COLD WEATHER: during cold weather run the hoist up and down when empty 2 to 3

times to circulate the oil and loosen the system up.** 2. When unloading or loading weights the operator must stand clear of the weights on the hoist.

KEEP 5 to 10 feet away from the weights when they are being moved. Insure the cable is vertical when lifting weights.

3. When placing weights on any surface make sure that surface is stable, solid and clean. 4. When reloading weights back into the truck insure there is nothing stuck on the bottom (mud,

ice or other debris). 5. Store the hoist and lock with the boomers. 6. Let the hook cradle down on the floor behind the weights. 7. Pull the lock pins and store the hoist tracks. 8. Turn off hoist and lights. 9. Return hoist remote to truck cab. 10. Load pylons and close cargo doors.

Calculation for Strain This formula is useful in calculating strain to determine the span adjustment on the indicator.

This formula can only be done once with strain load. Do not do multiple times.

SPAN ADJUSTMENT WITH A STRAIN LOAD APPLIED

You have 2554 kg on the scale. You put 1000 kg of test weights on. Your reading is 3551 kg. The reading should be 2554 kg + 1000 kg = 3554 kg. This makes the result –3 kg on 1000 kg (3554 kg – 3551 kg) Using this formula, you can adjust the span.

1000=3551 3 ?

3 x 3551 / 1000 = 10.6

Round up to 11 kg.

Calibrate the span to 3562 kg. (3551 + 11 = 3562).

Remove test weights and observe.

Result should be 3562 - 1000 kg test weights = 2562

Re-test.

Use of Test Standards WI5 Rev 6-10.08.2015 Approved by: JTH Page 1 of 2

Use of Test Standards Test standards (or test weights) are certified annually by Measurement Canada as per the current version of Measurement Canada Bulletin A-2-E. Measurement Canada issues a Certificate of Designation which includes the SN (serial number) of the standard, the date it was certified and the date it expires. ISL keeps current versions of the Certificates of Designation in the Weight Inspection Certificate Binder stored in the office of the Manager of Operations. To ensure accuracy is maintained it is important to take care of the test standards as follows: Test Kits Each technician is assigned a test kit. The weights in the test kit are certified annually by Measurement Canada. Measurement Canada issues a Certificate of Designation, the original is kept in Weight Inspection Certificate Binder, copies are available on the K drive and the ISL Web site. Do not drop the kit or a test standard from the kit. Keep test standards clean. Store the individual standards in the appropriate case at all times. Hand Weights Certificates of Designation for hand weights are kept Weight Inspection Certificate Binder, copies are available on the K drive (Custpro)and the ISL Website. Do not throw or drop a hand weight. When transporting hand weights using the weight cart there is to be no more than 10 weights on the cart at a time. When transporting hand weights in a vehicle they are to be placed individually in rows as close together as possible in one layer. No stacking of the hand weights. Keep hand weights clean and free from the buildup of dirt. If using weights in a dirty environment try to make sure that the minimum numbers of weights get dirty. Clean any weights following completion of the job. When stacking hand weights for storage in the shop, hand weights are to be stacked no more than five high. All vehicles should be driven in such a manner that prevents the weights from shifting in the vehicle. Large Test Weights Certificates of Designation for large test weights are kept in the Weight Inspection Certificate Binder, copies are available on the K drive(Custpro )and the ISL Website. When stacking the large test weights place them in such a manner that prevents them from tipping. It is important to keep the large test weights free from dirt and ice buildup as this may affect the accuracy. Clean the large test weights in a car wash or with a garden hose should they become dirty. When moving the large test weights using the heavy duty test trucks make sure the weight is securely attached before moving the weights. Ensure that the large test weights are placed on a clean flat surface with the base of the weight flat on the truck floor or the large test weight may tip over. The test truck should be driven in such a manner that the large test weights will remain safely in place.

Damaged Test Standards If any test standard is found to be damaged to the extent its accuracy is in question, this test standard must not be used and must be removed from service. The Service Manager is to be notified of the damaged test standard and he will tag and isolate the test standard. The Service Manager will review the devices checked using this test standard to determine if any of the devices would require retesting.

Scale Test Trucks - Rules & Regulations WI 10 Rev 5-10.08.2015 Approved by JTH Page 1 of 3

Scale Test Trucks

Overweight Permits Weights allowed on public highways are separate from the registered gross weight of a vehicle. Vehicle registration relates specifically to The Highway Traffic Act. Vehicles are to be registered to the maximum weight the vehicle will generally carry. Despite gross weights allowed on a given highway, an operator cannot exceed the registered weight; which otherwise may result in a fine under The Highway Traffic Act. Saskatchewan has established different weight systems for various classes of highways. These are referred to as the Primary Highway System, the Secondary Highway System and the Municipal Highway System. Industrial Scale Ltd. operates Scale Test Trucks. The trucks are 3 axle tandem trucks. The trucks are used to carry our own goods. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of each truck is approx. 23,500 kg. The approved weight for a truck with 3 axles driving on a Primary Highway is 24,250 kg. The approved weight for a truck with 3 axles driving on a Secondary Highway is 20,000 kg. The approved weight for a truck with 3 axles driving on a Secondary Highway in the winter is 23,500 kg. Therefore an overweight permit is required to drive on Saskatchewan’s Secondary highways. This permit is kept in the cab of the test truck. A copy of the permit is kept in the vehicle’s file. All permits are valid in Saskatchewan only. When road bans are on in the spring and the roads are thawing, we must comply and stay off the road because the permit does not cover us for driving on a road with a ban. Trip Inspection Standard Test Trucks Industrial Scale Ltd. is required to meet the Federal and Provincial Regulations of the Highways and Transportation Act when driving a test truck or a commercial van weighing more than 4500kg. The mandatory requirements include: A Trip Inspection that must be completed by the driver every 24 hours that the vehicle is used. The Log Book; as the completion of the Time Grid is a mandatory Federal Regulation being able to account for the on duty time of the driver in the preceding 14 consecutive days. The requirements of the Trip Inspection can be met by filling out the Inspection Checklist at the front of the Log Book and by conducting an ISL Driver Inspection also known as the Vehicle readiness and Inventory Form 104. Any new problems are to be reported immediately to the Service Manager or Manager of Operations or their designate. A visual check of the truck and the tires must be done at every available opportunity, such as after stopping for lunch or before leaving a job site.

Use of the Acetylene Cutting Torch

Storage The pressurized oxygen and acetylene tanks are to be respected and taken care of, they can be quite lethal if dropped or misused. Acetylene gas is highly unstable at pressures over 15 psi so it is stored in an unusual manner. The acetylene tank contains an inert substance like fullers earth or lime silica, which absorbs acetone. The acetone absorbs the acetylene and keeps it in suspension preventing accumulating pockets of high pressure gas thus stabilizing the explosive tendencies of the gas. Do not lay the tanks on their side as this will permit some of the acetone to enter the valves, lines, and gauges and contaminate the system. A purplish flame color at the torch is an indication of this contamination. Also note that the shutoff valve on the acetylene tanks have left handed threads so the appropriate regulator and corresponding hardware can be properly installed. It is recommended that this valve only be opened an average of 1/2 turn when in use so it can be quickly turned off in case of emergency. Oxygen in a fully charged cylinder has more than one ton of pressure for every square inch of surface area and could be characterized as a loaded bomb. The gas is an oxidizer that supports common combustion to the extreme and will make typical items burn with an unbelievable violence and intensity. It should be respected as such and measures should be taken to ensure a secure storage and usage environment. When not in use with the corresponding regulator the oxygen cylinder, as with the acetylene tank, has a heavy duty screw on cap that protects the valve. It should always be used. In addition the cylinders should always remain securely fastened to a wall or similar structure to keep them from tipping over. Pressure Regulating Mechanisms Since the various gases are stored at considerably higher pressures than are used in the welding process a pressure regulating mechanism must be provided. Pressure regulators that fasten to the respective cylinders of gas provide this function. They reduce the cylinder pressure to a working pressure and also maintain a constant gas pressure at the torch even though the cylinder pressure may vary. The regulators used are a two gauge unit, the high pressure or primary gauge reflecting the cylinder pressure, the low pressure or secondary gauge showing the delivery pressure to the torch hose. The oxygen fittings are right hand thread, the acetylene are left hand threads. Take care fastening the respective gauges to their cylinders and hoses. Don’t over tighten and make sure to use the correct wrench to avoid curling the brass nuts and fittings. Check to make sure the regulator adjusting valve is screwed out all the way to prevent premature charging of the secondary circuit. Charge the gauges by slowly cracking the cylinder valves open to prevent pinging of the gauge needles or melting of the seats due to sudden heat compression in the gauge. Never use any type of oil or grease in conjunction with oxy-acetylene fittings or related components as this can create an explosive situation. Make sure all tanks are securely fastened to a wall or supporting structure to prevent them from tipping over. Keep in mind that acetylene gas is highly unstable at pressures over 15 psi. Make sure the secondary gauge measuring the acetylene gas going to the torch hosing never goes over that pressure.

Acetylene Cutting Torch WI11 Rev1-03.11.2008 Approved by: JTH Page 1 of 3

Hoses The hoses delivering the gases from the tanks to the torch should be of a regular welding type. The rubber is designed not to break down by the respective gases and already has the correct fittings pre- fitted on the ends. Take care not to kink the hose or step on it as it stretches across the work area. Also try to protect it from melted metal globules that are produced in the welding process. The hose fittings are either left or right hand threads matching the corresponding gas used. The hose fittings screw into the respective left or right hand receptacles of the gas torch. Torch The torch is where the gases are mixed and delivered to the torch tip where they are ignited and used for welding purposes. The gases are directed into the torch base and through respective shut off valves. These valves serve two purposes: one for shutting off and on the gas stream the other for throttling the gas flow to give the flame the correct characteristics for proper burning. From the valves the gases flow into the main body of the torch and into the mixing chamber. Then on through the torch barrel to the tip where it is expelled through a drilled hole called the orifice. Keeping the orifice cleaned and free of welding debris will assure a clean and properly formed flame. Safety Equipment As with any welding proper safety gear should be mentioned before the welding procedure takes place. Make sure and wear the correct protective eyewear. The flame and puddle of molten metal emits both ultraviolet and infrared rays that may cause eye injury if viewed at close distance. The goggles also protect the eyes from flying sparks and the occasional popping of overheated metal. Generally speaking the thicker the metal to be welded and the more heat produced by the torch requires a darker shade for eye protection. A number of 4 to 5 is a good all around shading for the casual gas welder. Protective clothing consists of heavy leather gloves with a gauntlet covering the wrists, a non-flammable shirt or jacket and flame resistant trousers without cuffs. Good heavy leather shoes with thick soles will award a little more time if one accidentally steps on a hot piece of metal. A carefully misplaced spark in an oxygen rich environment might cause a quick burn scenario that could create a potential problem. Acquire and use a flint and steel lighter for igniting the torch. The steel cup tends to trap a small amount of gas that quickly and safely ignites when sparked. Lighting the Acetylene Torch Make sure the oxygen is turned off at the torch before attempting to light. Open the acetylene torch valve no more than 1/16 of a turn. Cup the flint lighter over the tip to collect a little gas and ignite. Next, turn the acetylene torch valve on slowly until the acetylene flame becomes turbulent a distance of 3/4 inch to one inch away from the orifice. Note that at this distance the flame will stop smoking. When proper turbulence is recognized open the oxygen valve a little bit. Note the color change in the flame and the slow development of a double inner core within the acetylene flame. As oxygen is increased the larger middle flame will merge with the inner greenish hued cone. When there is only one lightish green/blue cone established then the flame is called a neutral flame. If the secondary or middle flame is still visible then the flame is called a carburizing flame; a cooler flame with too much acetylene is being consumed. If the inner cone is established and then additional oxygen is added it becomes an oxidizing flame. This is also characterized by a hissing sound to the torch and more of a bluish tinge to the flame. Too much oxygen will burn or oxidize the metal being welded. The neutral flame has a soft purring sound to the torch, has a well defined inner cone with the greenish/blue tinge, and is the hottest part of the flame produced. This is the flame we are looking for.

How to Bias a Scale

The following instructions are to be used when there are changes in acceleration due to gravity because the inspection site of a scale is not the final destination. Using the Location Calculator for non-automatic weighing devices found on Measurement Canada’s web site insert the longitude and latitude for inspection site and final destination. Following the calculation use the values as follows; Looking at the calculator g1 represents the inspection site and g2 represents the final destination, determine which is greater. The value for the error due to a change in location is shown as a percentage in the bottom right hand corner. (ie 0.0226). Use this value to determine the error by multiplying it by the amount of weight required to cali-brate the scale. Example Using the amount of weight required to calibrate the scale (ie. 1000 lbs.) x .0226% = 0.226 lbs. If g1 is greater than g2 add 1000 lbs. to the scale and calibrate to 1000 + 0.226 lb. If g1 is less than g2 subtract the error from the 1000 lbs. added to the scale and calibrate to 1000 - 0.226 lb.

Sales Order Process The Sales Order (SO) process applies to all requests for service. The SO may be initiated by anyone receiving the request for service. Request for service is received: A Job is created in Quickbooks by the Service Administration Assistant or a designated. The Job is filled out with information provided by customer and set to pending unless scheduled. If the Job is scheduled an SO is generated. The Service Administration Assistant or designate reviews the Outlook Contact to verify the customer contact, address and phone information received are the same as the contact and fills the SO with the information collected the service department regarding service. . Service Administration Assistant or designate sends the SO via email to [email protected] for input into the scheduling calendar. Service creates a PDF and places it in Open Work Orders ( in the Z Drive ”Docket” under service Open Work orders) and a copy is provided to the Technician via the scheduling calendar The technicians are requested to email Service Administration Assistant or designate ([email protected]) and [email protected] at the completion of the job to say they are finished. When the SO is for Preventative Maintenance On the first working day of the month 1 months prior Service Administration Assistant or designate pulls the maintenance appointments from ISL Maintenance Quickbooks and generates jobs set to pending. Service contacts customers from the job list and schedules the service work. The Service Manager places the SO in the assigned tech’s appointment on the scheduling calendar. The technicians are requested to email Service Administration Assistant or designate ([email protected]) and cc [email protected] at the completion of the job to say they are finished. Service Administration Assistant or designate resets the appointment in ISL Maintenance Quickbooks. When the technician is complete he places the SO and applicable paperwork into Drop box to begin the invoicing process. If corrections are necessary the paperwork is given back to the technician and or the Service Manager is notified of the issues. Filing Process Once invoiced the paperwork is filed by the accounting department or designate who updates contacts and any related spreadsheet (Device Inspection Certificate, Mettler SO) The SOs are filed electronically under the customer’s in the customer drive “X” drive. The Maintenance appointment is updated in ISL Maintenance Quickbooks. Closing SOs If a SO is closed due to cancellation prior to invoicing the SO is given to the accounting department or designate to close in Quickbooks. If a MCD (Maintenance Customer SO) is closed without a sales order the job is marked decline.If the job is closed and a sales order is present the job is marked as declined and the SO is given to the accounting department of designate to close. Service Administration Assistant or designate then resets the maintenance appointment in ISL Maintenance Quickbooks. Every week an open Job report is generated from the accounting program by the Service Administration Assistant and given to the Manager of Operation to review the status of open jobs and SOs. Any issues are reported to the Service Manager.

Preparedness. On site, ISL has phones situated throughout the building giving access to activate the 911

emergency response team if required.

In the case of fire and or explosion at Industrial Scale shop;

Step 1 - the staff member that finds the fire/explosion is to call or designate someone to call 911 to report the

fire and or explosion, instruct the designated person to begin evacuation of the building.

To evacuate the upper level if the stairs are blocked there is a rope ladder that is able to be tossed out from the

upstairs office window allowing anyone to climb down.

Step 2 - if the fire is small an attempt to extinguish the fire using the nearest fire extinguisher may be tried.

Step 3 - if the fire does not respond to the fire extinguisher this person must also evacuate the building.

Fire extinguishers are located:

By both exits of the back shops

Outside of the server room

Beside each doorway on the upstairs level

At the first aid station

In the lunch room

In each of the test trucks

On the forklift

A Fire Blanket is available in the First Aid station

The Safety Coordinator/or representative (this is the receptionist) ensures the building is evacuated and all

people are accounted for at our designated meeting area across the street at 450 Maxwell Cr.

In case of accident with injury;

First Aid only - . Report any supplies that were used to the Safety Coordinator for restocking.

Accident report Form 68 is completed and given to the Safety Coordinator for investigation.

Medical Aid - non life threatening (the injury is such that outside medical attention by a doctor, medi-

cal clinic or hospital is required) arrangements for transportation are to be made. Family may be contacted to

drive the employee or if no family is available then another staff member should drive the employee to the ap-

propriate medical care facility. The staff member may leave the injured employee at the medical facility but is

to return to give the injured employee a ride home or back to the office.

Medical Aid - life threatening, call 911 and designate a staff member to stay with the injured employee

at all times awaiting emergency medical attention.

In all of the above instances Form 68 Accident Report must be completed by the employees involved and

given to the Safety Coordinator for investigation. A Worker’s Compensation Report (WCB) is to be filled in by

the employees directly involved if there is an injury or the potential for an injury to reveal itself as a result of

the accident/incident. The supervisior is required to fill out the Employers WCB Report. All paper work is to

be turned in within 24 hours of the incident; the Accident Report to the Safety Coordinator and the WCB Re-

ports to the WCB with a copy to the Safety Coordinator.
