Barricades 25

Training: 

If you have not been trained to do a task or use a piece of equipment or tool, use your STOP Work Authority. If you have been asked to perform a task which you have not been trained on, notify your supervisor and use your STOP Work Authority. Anyone who operates equipment is required to be licensed and to have in their possession the required certification cards. Anyone who is required to work on a Scaffold, is requires to be Scaffold User Trained. Anyone who is required to enter a Confined Space is required to be Confined Space Trained. Anyone who is required to wear a Respirator or Supplied Air is required to have a Current PFT (Pulmonary Fit Test) and be Fitted for the appropriate size and manufacture of equipment used. Do not allow anyone on site to perform a task for which they have not been trained. See the Pandora site Safety Manual for additional requirements. Training 26

Work Permits: 

Before conducting work, a Permit will be required, Some TASK may require additional Permits that involves confined space entry, work on energy systems, ground disturbance in locations where buried hazards may exist, or hot work in potentially explosive environments, a permit must be obtained that: Defines the scope of work Identifies hazards and assesses risk Establishes control measures to eliminate or mitigate hazards Links the work to other associated work permits or simultaneous operations Is authorized by the responsible person(s) Communicates above information to all involved in the work Ensures adequate control over the return to normal operations Permit will be administered by an authorized Pandora Representative. Permits will be issued for one work shift, some exceptions may be obtained in writing. If conditions change, the permit is void and a new permit must be issued. Work Permits 27

What is a Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA)?: 

A documented process where tasks are outlined step-by-step. The actual or predicted hazards of each step are defined in writing. The required controls and/or precautions are defined for each hazard listed. The plan is modified, where necessary, to eliminate or control the defined hazards. The plan is reviewed by site management throughout the day for opportunities to improve. The plan is reviewed at the end of a shift for improvements. The JSEA is Closed at the end of the TASK by the Leadman signing off that the Housekeeping is Complete and No incidents/injuries occurred. What is a Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA)? 28

What is a JSEA? (cont.): 

Begins at the office or check-in location All crew members will participate in the development. Will be completed at the job site (No pre-printed JSEA’s) Any individual visiting the work location will be briefed by a crew member and required to sign the JSEA. (Meet & Greet) If work site conditions change, the JSEA will need to be updated and re-signed. The JSEA must be kept at the work site for the duration of the task. The JSEA is only valid for a maximum of one work shift. Multi-day or shift tasks should use the previous day’s JSEA as a learning tool to transfer knowledge. What is a JSEA? (cont.) 29

The JSEA Process: 

Planning A systematic workplan is developed step-by-step for activities. Potential hazards are identified. Corrective measures are then developed to prevent those hazards from occurring. Organization The JSEA helps identify the resources (time, tools, equipment, materials and personnel) needed to do the job correctly. This ensures the right resources (people, PPE, equipment, tools, etc.) are available and ready when needed. Sequencing The steps of each task can be sequenced to eliminate hazards as well as improve productivity. All JSEA’s are to be turned in to your Supervisor at the end of the Job Task for monitoring and Record Keeping requirements. Training All work team members associated with the task to be performed must help develop the JSEA. Consequently, everyone is made aware of the potential hazards and plans to deal with them before the job begins. Thus, the JSEA becomes a training tool as well as a work tool. The JSEA Process 30

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): 

LOTO procedures are required to be followed when working on equipment that has the potential to release stored energy such as electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, chemical, thermal and radiation. Requires that a designated individual turns off and disconnects the machinery or equipment from its energy source(s) before performing service or maintenance and that the authorized employee(s) either lock or tag the energy-isolating device(s) to prevent the release of hazardous energy and take steps to verify that the energy has been isolated effectively. A person performing LOTO must be designated as authorized. LOTO sequence to ensure safe energy isolation: Identify all energy sources Notify all affected employees Isolate energy sources Control stored energy by bleeding off, draining etc. Apply LOTO devices to switches, circuit breakers, etc. Verify LOTO by trying buttons and switches LOTO removal = Reverse of Application Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) 31

Hazard Communication Program:
