HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 00 85 00


1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this section is to define the procedure to be followed in the administration of the Health and Safety procedure and to outline the functions of this procedure.

2.0 SCOPE

This procedure applies to all contractors and subcontractors. Each person is responsible for implementing the safety goals of this procedure.

WHMIS procedures, as required by Provincial Law, shall be adhered to and although each province has implemented standard occupational Health and Safety Acts, the requirements of these Acts are only a minimum. An employee’s common sense must be further utilized in applying on/off-the-job safety.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 The Contractor is to have a Health and Safety Procedure and is responsible for ensuring that:

• its employees, sub-contractors and sub-contractor’s employees follow these guidelines; • training is provided to all its employees, sub-contractors and sub-contractors employees; • work is carried out in the manner and with protective devices, measures and procedures

required; • new employees or sub-contractors are provided with timely notice of the measures and

procedures to follow for their protection while on the job site; • protection for the public is maximized and inconvenience form the work is minimized; • current WHMIS inventory is on site and kept current by the person in charge of the site; • any employee injured receives the necessary medical attention required to ensure a speedy, safe

return to gainful employment; • when an accident occurs, appropriate reports are prepared and submitted to the appropriate

Provincial authority; • the accident is thoroughly investigated; • the Owner designee is notified of all Ministry of Labour safety inspections or direction to comply,

as soon as possible after any occurrence; • a copy of the Ministry of Labour report is submitted to the Owner designee’s attention for any

follow-up as required.

The Contractor’s worker’s responsibilities include:

• knowing and following the Health and Safety procedures; • using or wearing the equipment, protective devices or clothing that is required to be used or worn; • checking all equipment and tools prior to using them; • reporting any defects in equipment, devices, breaches of the Act and hazards to their supervisor; • avoiding “horseplay” that could result in an accident; • abiding by all Federal and Provincial Operational Health and Safety Acts and Regulations;



• abiding by all site rules and regulations imposed by an owner, general contractor, industrial establishment or Provincial Orders.

4.0 ACCIDENT / INCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Accident investigations are conducted solely to determine what caused the accident and what steps can be taken to avoid an occurrence. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all accidents and incidents occurring during the performance of the work or at the work site are investigated. However, the level of the investigation is dependent on the severity of the accident. First aid cases do not require investigating but should be analysed in sufficient depth to ensure that no learning experience is missed.

Investigations should be conducted promptly and without bias. It is essential that all facts concerning the accident are covered, therefore the following procedure is recommended:

a) physically check the conditions at the site of the accident including any equipment, materials, tools or environmental condition that could have contributed to the cause;

b) establish factually what happened by interviewing the injured person, witnesses and supervisor responsible and, where possible have the witnesses and the injured Person(s) return to the positions they were in when the accident occurred;

c) determine the conditions or actions that led to and cause the accident;

d) prepare a list of recommendations for preventing a similar accident.

In the case of a fatality or critically injured person, the Contractor and employer must conform to all requirements as described in the Provincial Occupational Health and Safety Acts.

The Contractor superintendent, or appointed delegate, must inform their home office of any work- related injury or illness requiring treatment beyond the first-aid level on the same day as the accident occurred.

5.0 ACCIDENT REPORTING

The Contractor shall provide reports to the Provincial Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), the Ministry of Labour, the Health and Safety Representative and the Trade Union, as the Act requires.

5.1 The Contractor’s Responsibilities

a) Reporting to the WSIB:

1. Telephone the Owner designee to give a detailed verbal report stating job number, employee’s name, name of the doctor or hospital referred to, and the description of the accident. This activity is in addition to the report given to the Contractor’s Head Office.



2. Fill in the WSIB Treatment Memorandum form at the job site and give it to the injured employee for presentation to the doctor or hospital.

The Contractor shall act promptly as the WSIB must have the reports within 24 hours of the accident occurring. A substantial fine is levied by the WSIB for each late claim filed.

b) Reporting occupational illness:

1. Should an employee discover a case of such illness, the Superintendent shall be advised immediately.

c) Reporting accidents, including explosions, floods, failure of any equipment, device, supports, etc.

d) Reporting unsafe conditions:

1. If the risk is serious, put up a temporary barrier, attach a “danger” tag, or take other appropriate steps to prevent possible personal injury or other accident, before you report unsafe conditions.

5.2 The Worker’s Responsibilities

The worker shall report an accident immediately to the Supervisor and be available to the Supervisor to record details of the accident. The worker shall follow instructions provided by the Supervisor. The following situations shall be reported:

a) Death or critical injury:

1. The injured person should not be moved except to save the injured person’s life; wait for a certified First Aid Responder, or other, trained person;

2. Equipment and/or materials should not be moved or disturbed except to prevent further damage or injury;

3. Wait for instructions.

b) Other personal injury:

1. Depending on the circumstances, if there are any doubts about moving an injured person, send someone for a certified First Aid Responder;

2. If the injured person can move readily, accompany the injured person to the site safety office.

All personal injuries (Workplace Safety Insurance) are to be reported, including any occasion on which the worker (a) loses time, (b) receives medical aid, (c) goes to the doctor’s office and/or (d) goes to a hospital emergency ward.

Falls, with or without safety belts, unconsciousness and complaints or sprains or back strain must also be reported. These injuries are to be reported to the worker’s immediate Supervisor.



6.0 SITE SAFETY INSPECTIONS

It is recognized that good site conditions reduce the risk of injury to all persons present at the worksite and contribute greatly to the overall profitability of the project. When required by the Jurisdictional Authority, the Contractor shall provide a safety plan to the Owner designee for review prior to commencement of work. Each person should be on the lookout for unsafe acts and conditions in the workplace and take immediate action to correct any potential unsafe or hazardous situation.

3.1 Implement environmentally sound practices in this Project by incorporating products that lessen burden on environment in production, use and final disposition. Support implementation of reduction, reuse and recycling strategies and use of environmentally sound products. Promote use of environmentally responsible packaging practices by reducing and/or eliminating products with excessive packaging in this Project where these practices do not negatively affect the proper protection of materials from inclement weather, especially water damage.

3.1.1 Employ environmentally sound products which are made, used and disposed of in a manner that significantly reduces harm to environment. Base project selection criteria on requirements of CSA Z760: Life Cycle Assessment and CSA Z762: Design for Environment. Use Products which improve energy efficiency in its production and use, reduces hazardous by-products, uses recycled material, and/or Product itself can be recycled or reused, and/or in some way is environmentally benign.

3.2 WASTE REDUCTION

3.2.1 Implement waste reduction on this Project by using products specified in Contract Documents from manufacturers who promote reduction and elimination of excessive packaging practices in accordance with O. Reg. 104/94 made under the Environmental Protection Act. Adhere to Canadian Code of Preferred Packaging Practices.
