Injury and Illness Prevention Program 2.22 • Energy Sources—electric lines or mechanical energy, including stored energy. 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 which 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 & 2 above, mitigative actions for the potential hazard"CAUGHT—pinch points when handling well cover"may include 1) wear leather gloves, 2) use pry bar when accessing well cover, 3) keep hands/fingers clear between cover and collar, ... etc. Inspections (Field Audits) Roux provides a variety of health and safety tools, including two inspection processes which are Roux Peer Observations (RPOs) and Field Audits. These tools are available to all employees and provides 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 (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 Associates personnel from peers to senior management to not only check that health and safety requirements are being met but also to 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. 1/2019 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 14
