What is a Hazard?
A physical situation with a potential for
injury, damage to property or damage to the
environment.
It is the potential for energy being released;
the result of which may cause injury or
damage.
Activities are not hazards!

Common Sources of Hazards:
• Workplace Activities
• Tools and Equipment
• Workplace Materials
• Atmospheric Conditions
• Human Error
• Inattention
• Complacency

Common Types of Hazards:
• Physical Hazards – contact that could cause injury such as
burns, cuts, abrasions
• Chemical Hazards – fumes, gases, aerosols, corrosives,
alkalis, chemicals, solvents, sprays…
• Environmental Hazards – noise, heat, cold, wind, ice…
• Biological Hazards – hazards that can cause illness or disease
such as hantavirus, allergies, etc…
• Psycho-social Hazards - stress, fatigue, boredom, long-term
effects of shift work…
• Ergonomic Hazards – cramped workspace, repetitive motion

What are the most common sources of
injury?
• Slips, trips and falls
• Pinch-points (struck by, struck against, caught in)
• Exposure to harmful substances such as chemicals, dusts,
fumes, and vapours
• Fires & explosions
• Sprains and/or strains due to over-exertion or repetitive
motion

Identifying hazards before they become an
incident/accident is essential to a successful safety
program.
Most importantly it could save your life or that of a
co-worker.
No work is to be performed until a thorough and
effective Tailgate / FLHA (Field Level Hazard Analysis)
has been performed.
 (OH & S Code Part 2)

Stop & Think:
Take time to observe and inspect your
workspace for hazards.
Use the checklist on the FLHA to assist you
consider the activities of others in your
workspace.

Consider the work you will perform.
1. Identify all job steps
2. Determine the potential risk and exposure to any hazards
using the risk Matrix

Risk Matrix
Class A = Priority 1 Class B = Priority 2 Class C = Priority 3
Probability
Severity
The sum of Severity
+ Probability
2=Class C Low Risk
3=Class C Low Risk
4+=Class A & B High
Risk
1. Minimal
Minor damage
or minimal
injury
2. Medium
Moderate
damage or
injury, no
serious injury
3. High
Serious damage,
injury or death
1. Rare
Would seldom ever occur 2 3 4
2. Medium
Could possibly occur with
most instances
3 4 5
3. High
Will occur with all
instances
4 5 6

After identifying & classifying all Hazards
you must then control them.
1. Eliminate the Hazard: To eliminate the workplace
condition or task presenting the hazard. This is the
best form of controlling a hazard
1. Substitution: Substituting one material or piece of
equipment for a less hazardous one, or a particular
work activity for a safer method

Hazards that can’t be eliminated or
substituted must be controlled.
1. Engineered Controls: Guards, rails, ventilation,
substitution of products...
2. Administrative Controls: Safe work procedures, safety
training, Codes of Practice, shift / schedule planning
3. PPE: Respirators, hardhats, work boots, safety goggles,
FR coveralls...

is not intended for continuous occupancy”
“...any area that is not fit for human habitation”

Gases, Fumes, Dusts, and Mists
...many are highly toxic or carcinogenic
They may contribute to explosive or
oxygen-deficient environments as
discussed earlier

What is Hydrogen Sulphide (H₂S)?
• A colorless, flammable gas
• Offensive odour of rotten eggs
• Sweetish taste
• Heavier than air – found in low lying areas
• Highly toxic
• Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL)
• 10ppm for 8 hrs

Iron Sulfide
• Is the black or dark brown material found in grainy,
lumpy, more or less powder form
• If it is dry, it will ignite spontaneously if exposed to
air

NORMS – Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials
• NORMS are radioactive – can cause radiation
poisoning and is a carcinogen
• Codes of Practice and Safe Work Procedures, in
combination with careful and thorough use of proper
PPE is essential

WARNING
Welders and welding apprentices take note;
Oil on coveralls can combust without a spark if
exposed to pure oxygen.

Safe Work Practices (SWP’s) are a set of general
guideline’s or “Do’s and Don’ts” on how to
perform a specific task.
PES Safe Work Practices can be found in section 3
of the Health and Safety Manual.

Safe Job Procedures (SJP’s) are similar to SWP’s but differ in
that they are a specific step-by-step set of instructions on
how to complete a job safely from start to finish.
They are derived using a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).
Experienced workers, supervisors and management work
together to identify the hazards and steps to complete a task
then develop a SJP for workers to follow – thus controlling
the risk of injury or accident to the worker and others on
the worksite.
PES Safe Job Procedures can be found in section 4 of the
Health and Safety Manual.

All employees are expected to learn about and
familiarize themselves with the SWPs and SJPs in
section 3 & 4 of our Health and Safety Manual.
Copies of the manual can be found in the lunch room,
supervisors trucks and on the DROP BOX application for
smart phone devices.
Consult these Practices & Procedures before performing
the tasks they relate to.
Note: You may be held accountable for failing to comply.

• Tool-box / Tailgate Meetings
• Hazard IDs/Near Miss
• Monthly Safety Meetings
• FLHAs
• Incident & Hazard Reporting
• Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
• Employee Performance Evaluations

On-The-Job-Training/Site Specific Training
Management or supervisors will provide on-the-job-training
with all new employees and contractors.
During the first week of employment, workers will be under
the direct supervision of a competent employee.
During this time the supervisor will use the tell-show-do
principle of training to increase the new worker’s knowledge
and skill. New workers will receive on-the-job-training
consistent with the safe work practices and safe job
procedures contained in this program.

Hazard assessment training will be provided in many
different ways:
• Pre-Job Meetings
• Tool-box / Tailgate Meetings
• Hazard IDs/Near Miss
• Monthly Safety Meetings
• FLHAs

It is the responsibility of
each individual to review
the Tail Gate Meeting and
understand the hazards
and control measures.
ALL EMPLOYEES AND
CONTRACTORS are
required to sign off on
the Tail Gate meeting.
If you don’t YOU WON’T
GET PAID FOR THAT DAY!!!

FLHAs and Near Miss Cards
are ways of communicating
and training everyone about
hazardous conditions/acts.

Safety Meetings are the first Tuesday of each month
and ALL Employees and Contractors are required to
attend. They are at 6:30 am at the shop.

Inspections are an effective way to control losses to human resources,
equipment and materials.
Inspections identify unsafe acts/conditions and deviations from safe
work practices, safe job procedures, company rules and legislation.
Inspections are also a means of monitoring the effectiveness of our
health and safety program. Inspections should be seen as fact-finding
missions as opposed to fault-finding missions.
Inspections will be completed of the main/office shop, work sites, tools
and equipment.

Formal inspections will be completed on a monthly basis and results communicated to
employees at the following monthly safety meeting.
Each month the safety advisor or their designate will complete a formal Office/Shop
Inspection.
The safety advisor or their designate will also complete at least one (1) formal Worksite
Safety Inspection.
To ensure all tools and equipment are maintained properly employees will be expected to
complete a Monthly Equipment Inspection and Monthly First Aid Kit Inspection.
Pre-Use Inspections on all trucks/equipment and Fall Protection Inspections will be
completed on a prior to use basis.
All completed inspections must be handed in prior to the end of each month, so they can be
discussed at the upcoming safety meeting and deficiencies can be controlled as soon as
possible.

Incident & Hazard Reporting
Reporting is done by chain of command – you
report any incidents, accidents, near misses, or
hazards to your supervisor immediately.
Supervisors should report them to the Safety
Advisor.

You must report:
• Accidents
• Incidents
• Injuries
• Damage to property
• Spills
• Near Misses

PROPER DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED!
Simply telling someone may not ensure
adequate communication

Remember:
“If it’s not written down it didn’t happen”
And:
“The truth is in the Proof”

perform the job and the time they are to leave the shop or be
on the work site. These instructions are issued and not to be
deviated from by the crew or driver of their own choosing.
If there are changes to the crew/driver or the times that they
leave the shop this has to be approved by the dispatcher. This
will ensure that Purnell Energy Services is aware of the
whereabouts of their employees at all times in the event that
they need to contact them during work hours.”

Workers, Tradesmen, Supervisors and Customers are
required to go through Dispatch.
Supervisors and Foremen do not have authority over
equipment, who may perform specific tasks, or any
PES asset without first securing approval through the
Dispatcher.

Dispatcher assigns:
o Keys
o Fuel Cards
o Tools/Equipment
o Gas Monitors
o Phones
o Permits
o Instructions
o Directions / Maps / ERP’s
All of these must be signed out and returned each day

PES expects all employees and contractors to report to
work as scheduled and on time.
1. If unable to report due to illness, call your supervisor
and the dispatcher as soon as possible to allow them
time to find your replacement – you must supply a
doctors note or medical confirmation if requested.
2. Employees are expected to notify and obtain their
supervisors approval and then notify dispatch of any
absence from work.

3. Employees are asked to schedule medical,
dental, and personal appointments outside of
their working hours.
4. Any employee that does not notify their
supervisor and get their permission to be absent
from work shall be suspended from duty without
pay until the absence is reviewed by Purnell
Energy Services Ltd. Management.

If an employee is in
need of time off, a
Leave Request form
must be completed
with as much notice
as possible and it will
be reviewed by
management. The
employee will be
notified whether their
request was approved
or not.

• Purnell Energy Services pays all employees and
subcontractors by direct debit on a bi-weekly
pay schedule.
• Please refer to the pay schedule provided for all
pay period cut off dates and due dates for
employee time sheets and subcontractor
invoices.
• Any subcontractors that prefer to email their
invoices please send them to:

Employees:
Your time will generally be kept by your supervisor for all hours that are billable
to a client/job. However, if you are working on odd jobs/cleanup for PES at the
shop and your work is NOT billable to a client, our SHOP RATE is $17/hr.
You are required to fill out a time sheet with the applicable unit numbers and
submit to the payroll department for each day worked.

It is in all employees and subcontractors best interest
to keep a day timer or book to keep track of all hours
worked in the event that hours are missed. Payroll
strives to check for accuracy when recording time but
in reality mistakes can be made. This will give you a
reference to be able to check your hours against
hours that have been processed by the payroll
department.
**It is hard to remember what hours may have been
worked if you don’t write it down.

Purnell Energy Services has accounts established with different
suppliers and vendors.
If you are asked to pick up parts, job materials or purchase
services using one of these accounts, you will be required to
obtain a Purchase Order (PO) from either your supervisor,
dispatch or accounts department. You will also be required to
show photo identification at each of these vendors.
All receipts, invoices and paperwork must be handed in
immediately for billing purposes and so to not get lost.

If any individual
purchases items or
services personally for
PES from a vendor that
we do not have an
account set up with,
they will be required to
complete a
reimbursement form
and a cheque will be
issued by the accounts
department.

Purnell Energy Services offers Alberta Blue Cross benefits to

Prescription drugs, hospital, health, out of province, vision,
