Site Specific Health, Safety and Environmental Plan <br /> 20 <br />• Management is responsible and accountable for the safety of employees, contractors, and the <br />general public. <br />• Employees and contractors are responsible and accountable for their actions. <br />• Employees and contractors have an obligation, without fear of reprisal, to notify management of <br />apparent hazards, and they have the right to receive timely and adequate responses. <br />7.0 Project Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment <br /> <br />7.1 Conducting a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment <br />A formal written hazard identification and risk assessment process must be conducted for all field work <br />before the work commences. Use the published SLR Project HIRAC Form to conduct and document the <br />HIRAC process in accordance with SLR HSE Manual, Section 09: Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and <br />Control (HIRAC). Templates for conducting this activity are provided on the Connect HSE page. <br /> <br />Development of the project HIRAC form will be led by the SLR Project Manager (PM) or their designee, in <br />consultation with the rest of the field team members, including subcontractors, as applicable, to <br />adequately address the hazards involved. Office HSE Coordinators, and/or the HSE Manager should be <br />consulted as needed to address any unusual identified hazards. <br /> <br />Each identified risk/hazard on the HIRAC form shall be ranked as to their anticipated level of risk from high <br />to low (Red, Yellow, or Green) based on the potential Consequences and Probability of an undesirable <br />event/outcome taking place (i.e., fall from a height, cut by a tool, struck by an object, etc.). <br /> <br />This risk ranking process can be somewhat subjective, however personnel conducting this process need <br />to be consistent when making risk ranking determinations so that the focus remains on addressing those <br />hazards that pose the highest risk. <br /> <br />Selected hazard control measures on the HIRAC form shall be based on the hazard control hierarchy with <br />personal protective equipment (PPE) used only as a last resort. It may be necessary to use a combination <br />of engineering, administrative and PPE controls to achieve the necessary level of worker safety. NOTE: <br />See SLR HSE Manual, Section 13: Personal Protective Equipment for additional guidance concerning <br />proper selection and use of PPE. <br /> <br />Exposure to high (“R”) rated hazard must have the approval of the PM. PMs must consult with the HSE <br />Manager prior to approving any work that is still deemed high risk after applying work practice controls. <br /> <br />
