Injury and Illness Prevention Program 2.22 For each hazard category, the potential hazard should be further described. For instance, with the example described in Step 1 above, a potential hazard associated with the monitoring well gauging and sampling task— specifically, the job step to `access well with hand tools"— may include CAUGHT— pinch points when handling well cover. Step 3— Determine Mitigative Actions After the potential hazard(s) have been identified, evaluate if the job step can be performed in a manner where the hazard is eliminated, reduced, or controlled. Common methods to eliminate, reduce, or control potential hazards that follow the hierarchy of controls may include, but are not limited to, one or a combination of the following: • Eliminating or substituting a job step with a less hazardous operation. • Combining job steps or changing the sequence. • Instituting engineering controls. • Obtaining other tools or redesigning equipment. • Performing ambient monitoring or screening. • Obtaining additional safety equipment including personal protective equipment (PPE). • Adding warning devices. Mitigative actions should be specific and avoid using generalizations such as "be careful' or "use caution." There must be at least one mitigative action for each potential hazard. PPE should never be the only mitigative action. It is the last line of defense. Taking the example illustrated in Steps 1 and 2 above, mitigative actions for the potential hazard"CAUGHT—pinch points when handling well cover"may include 1) wearing leather gloves; 2) using pry bar when accessing the well cover; 3) keeping hands/fingers clear between cover and collar, ... etc. Inspections (Field Audits) Roux provides a variety of health and safety tools, including two inspection processes, Roux Peer Observations (RPOs)and Field Audits. These tools are available to all employees and provide opportunities for both peer-to-peer and management-to-peer inspections of job sites. These scheduled periodic inspections assist in identifying unsafe behaviors, work practices, and conditions. RPOs are scheduled activities where one individual observes another completing a task. The purpose of the RPO is to ensure individuals perform work tasks according to standard operating procedures and in a safe and healthy work environment. During this type of inspection, the observer is focused on the work process, not the individual (the worker remains anonymous). The goal of RPOs is to positively reinforce correct behaviors and to identify and eliminate undesirable behaviors and conditions. Field audits are performed by Roux personnel, from peers to senior management, to check that health and safety requirements are being met and demonstrate management leadership in the health and safety program. The audits focus on how our health and safety tools are being implemented and when we are providing oversight of Subcontractor operations to ensure the Subcontractor is meeting our health and safety requirements. At any time during a Field Audit or RPO, if an imminent safety hazard, emergency situation, or other potentially dangerous situation arises, the auditor is instructed to implement Stop Work Authority until the hazard can be mitigated appropriately. Audit findings are documented on a Field Audit Checklist or RPO Form, and any recommended corrective actions are discussed with the field personnel and their project management immediately following the audit/observation. 03/2025 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 14
