5.1.2 Job Risk Assessment Prior to each planned work activity at the site, a Job Risk Assessment or JRA shall be conducted to identify job-specific hazards and determine the appropriate PPE to be used. The PPE requirements shall be adequate for the specific tasks being performed. The risk assessment may identify PPE requirements over and above the minimum standards identified in this procedure. Properly fitted PPE is useful when other forms of control are not practical, but is considered the lowest level of control option under the Hierarchy of Controls. 5.2 Head Protection Hard hats, or safety helmets, which meet the requirements of ANSI Z89.1 and ANSI Z89.2 (or equivalent standard), shall be worn in all designated work areas as outlined in the site risk assessment. Hard hats shall be made of plastic and designed to hold chin straps. Chin straps shall be worn when working at heights. Metal hard hats do not meet the standards for electrical resistance and therefore shall not be permitted. Hard hats shall be checked monthly for signs of damage, and replaced immediately if the hard hat becomes brittle, cracked or is otherwise damaged. Suspensions and shells shall be replaced per the manufacturer’s recommendation. It is recommended that suspensions be replaced at least annually and shells be replaced every 3 to 5 years. All new starts and visitors shall wear green hard hats when entering the work site to distinguish them from experienced workers. Green hard hats shall be worn for a minimum of 3 rotational cycles (or 3 months, which ever is longer) to ensure greater visibility during the orientation period and allow experienced site personnel to provide additional support. In extreme cold, full head insulation or suitable liners for hard hats may be worn. These shall be made of material consistent with the Flame Resistant Clothing requirements noted in this procedure. 5.3 Eye Protection Safety glasses, with side impact protection, or goggles shall be worn in all designated work areas as outlined in the site risk assessment. Glasses shall be designed and constructed to meet ANSI Z87.1 (or equivalent standard). Where regular prescription

glasses are required to be worn, over protection such as over glasses or goggles shall be used. Both clear and tinted lenses shall be made available, with tinted lenses provided for protection against UV light damage. Tinted lenses shall not be used during hours of darkness. It is the individual’s personal responsibility to maintain eye protection in a safe condition. Antifogging compounds for safety glasses/ lenses shall be available and used to maintain clear vision when work conditions are impacted by fogging. Contact lenses are permitted, but their use shall not interfere with or be compromised by the work activity. Contact lenses do not provide eye protection and the wearer may have increased risk of eye injury from exposure to dusts and chemical vapors. Eye protection shall be worn in addition to the contact lenses. Special lenses are required when oxygen fuel cutting. Goggles are required when working with chemicals or in dusty conditions. A listing of eye and face protection and their application has been included in Attachment 9.2. 5.4 Face Protection During work activities that involve grinding, chipping, and buffing, or where material could separate and become a projectile, a face shield shall be worn in conjunction with safety glasses/ goggles as defined by the job risk assessment. Personnel working with chemicals, degreasers, detergents, or equipment that contains a hazardous or pressurized liquid or gas (eg. wet cell batteries) shall wear non-vented, splash proof goggles. For exposure to hot or corrosive materials, a face shield shall be worn over the goggles. A welding hood, with non-glass visor, shall be worn over standard safety glasses when welding. Personnel engaged in sandblasting, water blasting or spray painting shall wear eye protection under the face shield or air supplied hood to protect the eyes and face from known hazards.

5.5 Hearing Protection Hearing protection shall be worn in all designated high noise areas and as per the job risk assessment. Hearing protection shall meet the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.95 (or equivalent standard) and the BHP Billiton Hearing Conservation Guideline No G12. Types of hearing protection will depend on the JRA and must meet personalized fit testing requirements. A quantitative noise survey shall be completed around all machinery and equipment located at the site to document sound level readings and identify areas that require hearing protection. The assessment shall include both permanent and temporary equipment. Signs shall be posted at each work location where continuous noise levels are at 80 dB(A) or greater over an 8 hour time-weighted average. Various forms of hearing protections shall be made available, such as disposable/ reusable ear plugs or hard hat mounted ear protectors, and shall be worn in posted areas. Hearing protection shall also be worn during operations that generate noise in excess of 80 dB(A). 5.6 Protective Clothing The wearing of Flame Resistant Clothing is required for all employees, contractors and visitors when:

• Located on a production facility with hydrocarbon-containing process equipment and working in PPE required areas.

• Loading/ unloading or transferring hydrocarbons where vapours are present in the atmosphere that present a flash fire potential.

• Repairing active hydrocarbon piping, tankage or equipment that is outside the production facility and the potential for a flash fire has not been completely eliminated.

• Performing hot work activities on active hydrocarbon equipment and piping (hot tapping).

• Working on hydrocarbon piping or other related equipment that is below grade or defined as a confined space, and the potential for a flash fire has not been completely eliminated.

• Performing high voltage switching operations and maintenance. • An employee or supervisor identifies a site-specific job and/ or area with potential

exposure to flash fire/ arc burn injuries, such as through an electrical circuit. • Specified by local regulation or policy.
