Injury and Illness Prevention Program 2.22 of a near loss or loss. This process includes immediate notifications of safety related issues all the way up from staff to the COO and CEO of the organization. • Safety tailgate meetings shall occur daily before any work activity, when new operations are conducted, whenever changes in work practices must be implemented, and when new conditions are identified and/or information becomes available. • Open discussions on safety and health are held during program management meetings amongst staff as it relates to ongoing field activities. • Required Cal/OSHA safety notifications shall be posted at each office and jobsite that has a company trailer. Various other items of safety value will be posted as appropriate, including quarterly Health and Safety Newsletters written by various levels of employees throughout the organization. 5. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT JSAs and inspections of work sites shall be used to identify and evaluate occupational hazards. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) JSAs are used to evaluate each job step to identify uncontrolled hazards and establish a means and methods to mitigate these potential uncontrolled hazards. Developing and implementing JSAs aide in reducing the likelihood of incidents and injuries at a job site. Roux has adopted a formal process for the development and review of JSAs which are used by Roux staff in the field. This formal process is outlined within the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Management Program 2.14, which is found within Roux's Corporate Health and Safety Manual. The JSA development process can be broken into three steps. These steps are provided below in further detail. Step 1 — List Job Steps The first step in developing a JSA is to identify each job step in order of occurrence. Job steps should be concise and clearly describe the individual safety critical tasks for the collective operation. For example, a monitoring well gauging and sampling task may include the following job steps: 1) access well with hand tools, 2) gauge well using interface probe, 3)purge well with bailer, etc. Whereas, an example of a job step that is too generalized is `gauge and sample well." Step 2— Identify Potential Hazards Next, for each job step, determine potential hazards that may exist or occur while performing the associated job step. In helping determine safety critical job steps, the following questions should be assessed: • "What could go wrong?" • "What's the worst that can happen?" • "What are the consequences?" Potential hazards should be identified by the following categories: • Contact—struck by or against an object. • Caught—caught on, in, or between objects. • Falls—slips, trips, or falls to the ground or a lower level. • Exertion—repetitive motion, excessive strain/stress, ergonomics, lifting/bending. • Exposure—inhalation/ingestion/injection, cold/heat stress, noise/vibration. 1/2019 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 13
