Intent
To identify the hazards associated with our operations and implement the appropriate safeguards to reduce the operating risk and the potential for safety, health and environmental incidents and liabilities.
Expectations
A system is in place to identify potential hazards, assess the risk and ensure that controls are implemented for the on going management of risk for activities such as:
- Design and construction
- New projects
- Existing operations
- New products
Examples of hazards and appropriate controls or safeguards include confined space procedures, equipment isolation/lockout, job safety analysis, permit to work, working at heights, lifting operations, vehicle safety, personal protective procedures, hazard identification, hazard and operability studies, peer review of critical procedures etc. The type and complexity of the procedure will be based upon the magnitude of the risk.
Risk mitigation techniques are considered in the following order of priority:
- Engineering controls
- Administrative controls
- Personal protective equipment
Verification
Evidence of risk assessment of the operation to identify the hazards and needed controls.
Evidence of hazard analysis, hazard identification or hazops for new projects
Evidence of job safety environmental analysis procedures and the associated risk assessment
