Hazard AssessmentsPart 2 - Alberta OH & S Code

Workers must assess a work site and identify existing or potential hazards before work begins at the work site.

All workers must participate in a Hazard Assessment that identifies:• The current and potential hazards for the job site• The severity of the identified hazards• Methods used to control or eliminate the hazards identified

You must complete a Hazard Assessment:• Daily - Prior to the start up of any work• Whenever new hazards are introduced• Whenever moving to a new job site• Whenever conditions or operations change

Hazard AssessmentsHazard Assessments must be communicated to all parties including:

• Your crew

• Other crews

• PPL employees

• Independent Trucks (hired trucks)

• Subcontractors & Suppliers

Everyone must be involved

System

What is WHMIS?What is WHMIS?

• Right – to – know legislation

• Canada wide system

• Applicable in every province/territory

WHMIS & the Law• WHMIS falls under both federal and provincial legislation

• In Alberta, WHMIS is governed by the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code, and enforced by Alberta Jobs, Skills, Training, and Labour

Site Specific Training4 Questions ALL workers must be able to answer after site-specific training:

1. What are the hazards?

2. How should I protect myself?

different hazardous products

2. Labels• Products must be labelled in the workplace

3. Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) • Must be readily available and accessible to

workers

WHMIS• Products are referred to as Hazardous Products • Hazard Classes and Classification Criteria• Supplier Labels◦ 7 pieces of information

• Inspect the fire extinguisher once a month:◦ Verify the locking pin and tamper seal is unbroken◦ Confirm the pressure gauge is in the green position◦ Examine the extinguisher for physical damage, corrosion, and leakage◦ Tip the fire extinguisher upside down or shake it gently◦ This will prevent the settling of the chemical inside and ensure it will

work if required

• Once inspected, initial the fire extinguisher tag to verify you have inspected in after each month

2018AWAWAWAW
