Kennecott Utah Copper
SHEA, SHEAP, AND RISK ASSESSMENT
“ Protecting the safety and health of our contracted partners and the environment is a pillar of our success at Kennecott Utah Copper (KUC).”
PLANNING AHEAD AND STAYING SAFEProtecting the safety and health of our contracted partners and the environment is a pillar of our success at Kennecott Utah Copper (KUC). When contractors work at KUC, we expect them to work safely.
The foundation to working safely is planning ahead and understanding how to approach area hazards at the KUC facilities. KUC uses a form called the Safety, Health and Environmental Analysis (SHEA). This form details all recognized hazards that are associated with working at KUC facilities. KUC representatives � ll out the SHEA because they are familiar with the potential area hazards at their facility. The contractor then completes the form through a Safety, Health and Environmental Action Plan (SHEAP). The SHEAP responds to each possible hazard and how they plan to address and mitigate the KUC area hazards outlined in the SHEA.
Another part of the foundation to working safely is the Risk Assessment (RA). The contractor creates a Risk Assessment with assistance from KUC. The risk assessment details the hazards and controls speci� c to the job the contractor will complete. Contractors have the duty to � ll out the risk assessment because of their expertise and experience in their trade. They are the foremost knowledgeable party of the hazards of each step of their job and they know what actions are needed to control those hazards.
Risk assessments are speci� c to the potential hazards associated with the contractor’s task, while the SHEA is speci� c to the potential hazards present in KUC facilities. SHEA, SHEAPs and Risk Assessments are contained in a spreadsheet � le that will be sent by your KUC contact.

HOW TO CREATE A SHEAP
Review the SHEA provided to you by Kennecott Utah Copper
Develop a detailed SHEAP that states how your team will handle the job site area hazards
Submit completed SHEAP to KUC representative for approval
HOW TO CREATE A RISK ASSESSMENT PLAN
Identify the potential hazards for each step/task speci� c to the job.
Identify the controls your team has in place to mitigate those hazards
Use the risk matrix to rank each hazard by initial risk and post risk
Submit completed Risk Assessment plan to KUC representative for approval
Note – Timely submission of your SHEAP and risk assessment is mandatory, and you must get approval before work can begin.
Below is an example of a SHEA/SHEAP and Risk Assessment that was actually used at KUC. This is sample material only and the content should not be duplicated.
Please contact your KUC representative if you have questions about the SHEA, SHEAP or Risk Assessment.
SCOPE OF WORK: Building a Bridge Across a Moat Filled with Alligators
Organize Job Site
Build Bridge
This is a sample of a Risk Assessment form that the contractor needs to create. This form needs to identify potential hazards, define risk levels, and discuss the actions required to mitigate the risk. The purpose of this form is to protect contractors and employees. This sample is intended to illustrate the principles of hazard identification and controls for specific tasks.

Throw a piece of meat away from the work site to distract alligators
while working. Trap alligators per state regulations using certified trappers.
Use ladders to get out of moat and get help if needed. Apply fall prevention
techniques. Use fall protection as needed.
Work using a buddy system. Wear alligator repellant vests. Run away.
Use body armor on legs and arms
Pre-use inspections and training required.Spotters and backup alarms used.
Walk slowly and avoid wet areas and alligators. Proper footwear.
POST RISKCONTROLS
INITIAL RISKSPECIFIC POTENTIAL HAZARDSWORK SCOPE TASKS
Break down project into separate work scope tasks.
Identify potential hazards within each work scope task.
Using the risk matrix, assign a risk rating for each hazard prior to implementing contols for each work scope task.
Identify controls that you will apply to eliminate or minimize the hazard.
Rate the risk after controls have been implemented.
SCOPE OF WORK: Building a Bridge Across a Moat
This is a sample of a SHEA/SHEAP form given to contractors by KUC. It identifies area hazards associated with each phase of a project and required PPE/Permits. The contractor needs to address how they plan to respond to each hazard. This sample is intended to illustrate the principle of area hazards and controls.
