The use of hazardous materials amidst our workplace. The handling of dangerous materials amidst the workplace is regulated by the WHMIS. The transportation of hazardous materials is regulated by the Transportation of dangerous goods regulations (TDMR). To possess basic knowledge on such regulations is of great importance in order to identify cargo containing potentially harmful substances, materials that can cause explosions or harm to the environment or simply information on how to handle certain dangerous substances that may need precautionary measures in order to be safe handled. Furthermore, here are some benchmarks provided for information. When it comes to hazardous materials, no risks should be taken. 4.1.1 WHMIS – Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System WHMIS is short for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. WHMIS is regulated by both provincial and federal laws and regulations. Any individual either supplying or using controlled products must comply with it. It is a nationwide system in which suppliers, employers and workers each share a defined responsibility. The WHMIS aims to ensure the health and safety of workers by promoting easy access to information on hazardous materials used in the workplace. Suppliers are subject to the federal law and more precisely to the Hazardous Products Act (Part II) and to Controlled Products. Employers are subject to the Provincial Law or more precisely to the Act Respecting Occupational Health and Safety (article 62) as well as Information on Controlled Products Regulations. Each person’s responsibilities are : 25 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. 4.1.2 6 categories of the WHMIS The WHMIS is separated in 6 main categories which are defined in regards to the hazard they represent. If a product corresponds to one or many of these categories, he then becomes a controlled product. Here is the simplified version of the WHMIS table: 26 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. 4.1.3 Product labelling The WHMIS also dictates information which needs to appear on product labels. The label must contain both English and French versions (either it be on a sole label or on two distinct labels). Information on the proper way to make use or handle the product should be present on these labels. Information which needs to appear on the label are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Product identifier – Brand name, chemical name, common name, generic name or commercial name of the hazardous product. Main supplier identifier – the name, the address, the telephone number of the Canadian manufacturer or the Canadian importer*. Pictogram(s) – Indication of danger within a red frame standing on one of its ends. Warning label –Expression used to inform the concerned individual about a potential danger and to inform him on the severity of this danger. Danger label(s) – Standard phrase describing the nature of the danger which represents an hazardous product. Safety advice – Standard phrase describing recommended measures to take in order to prevent or ease noxious effects resulting from exposition to a hazardous product or the inadequate handling or storing of an harmful product. Additional information – Further labelling information is required according to the product’s classification. Take for example a label for a mix containing ingredients whose toxicity is unknown for a quantity equivalent or superior to 1 % must read a notice showing the percentage of the ingredient or ingredients whose toxicity is unknown. The label can also contain additional information in regards to precautionary measure to be adopted, the dangers which are not addressed at the moment on the SGH lollh or the physical state or exposure pathway of the product. This information must not contradict nor dismiss the information figured on the label. Example of a label : 27 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

The TDGR applies to the handling of dangerous goods and addresses the province’s public road users as a whole. In respect of marine transportation, the IMDG code of the International Marine Organisation is applicable. The same categories apply, but with the difference being noted in the loading of the ship as well as the location of dangerous goods on the vessel. Dangerous good regulations are based on five important points:  Classification and identification  Identification number (UN number)  Shipping documents  Containers and packaging  Transportation licences 4.2.1 Classification and Packaging Hazardous materials are separated in nine categories in respect to the type of risk they represent for public safety. Most of the categories are subdivided in regards to the features of a particular product. The shipper is responsible for determining under which category those dangerous goods fall under before allowing the carrier to take hold of such product.

This label can designate a manufactured good (as for example; UN3090, LITHIUM BATTERIES), as well as correspond to various substances or a group of substances (example : UN2588, SOLID TOXIC PESTICIDE, N.S.A.) or to a unique chemical substance (example, UN1555, ARSENIC BROMIDE). The UN number allows identification of the product by the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre (that falls under the competence of Transport Canada). CANUTEC provides information on the risks, public safety and emergency measures to undertake whenever an incident involving dangerous goods occurs. They develop the guide on emergency measures. To reach CANUTEC: WEB: Toll free: Call collect: Cell : *666 https://www.tc.gc.ca/fra/canutec/menu.htm 1-888-CAN-UTEC - 30 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. UN numbers also serve as a mean to give greater precision on the segregation of hazardous materials during the shipping. Here is an example of the segregation table of dangerous materials. 4.2.3 Shipping documents For every shipment of hazardous goods, the shipper must issue a shipping document (manuscript or printout). The carrier must have it in his possession at all times until the shipping. The shipping document must contain the following information: The name and address of the consignor’s place of business in Canada • The day on which the document has been filled or handed over; • The description of every dangerous material in the following order: - The UN number - The regulatory name - The main category - The letter from the accounting group on explosives, if applicable - Subsidiary category(ies), if applicable (this indication must appear between brackets) - The packaging group, if applicable - The indication « toxic if inhaled » regarding hazardous materials that fall under the particular provision 23 of the TGDR, 31 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. - The quantity of every material and the unit of measurement used to express this quantity. It should be noted that all shipping documents originating in Canada must specify these quantities according to the International System of Units (SI) - The number of small containers for every hazardous good, if applicable - The indication « 24-hour number », followed by the number allowing to reach the shipper at all times or the telephone number of an individual, other than the actual shipper, who is able to supply technical information (Canutec’s number cannot be used without their written consent) - All changes made regarding the quantity of hazardous goods or the number of containers during transport - The reference number of the operational emergency plan assigned by Transport Canada as well as the telephone number allowing to implement the OEP, if applicable - A certificate from the sender; - All additional information required, if applicable. Example of Shipping document: 32 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. 4.2.4 Containers and packaging One may also take note of Packaging groups (GE I, II or III) which have been determined in regards to certain categories of hazardous materials. The packaging group raises awareness on the level of danger at cause in a category. The GE I code indicates the highest level of danger while the GE III code represents the lowest level of danger. Nature of the hazard Packaging group Important I Medium II Minor III Hazardous materials must be transported within standardized containers (unless they are exempt) in order to avoid being discarded. The regulations refer to various standards regarding the manufacturing, the selection and the use of containers designed for the transportation of hazardous materials. All standardized containers must have a label which demonstrates that the latter has been manufactured in conformity with safety standards for such type of container. In order to remain compliant to these standards, certain containers need to be inspected, tested and marked at specific intervals. To recognize standardized containers as well as understand packaging codes found on containers, please refer yourself to the annex 4. 33 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

NFPA codes are mostly used in the United States but can be found in other countries as well. The NFPA 704 label allows to easily recognize the dangerous nature of a product thanks to a colour code as well as a 5-level range. For example, when a fire erupts, it allows response teams to identify the risks to a specific stored substance as well as the equipment they’ll specifically need to deal with the danger. Here is what the NFPA code looks like as well as its colour legend, its numbers and symbols. 34 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

Maritime Security and ISPS Code 5.1 Histoiry, description and operation Following the 9/11 attacks, an urge to establish an international procedure concerning port facilities and vessels saw the light. The possibility that a ship might perhaps be potentially targeted by a terrorist group, that the vessel in question might end as the goal of such attacks (liner, oil tanker, gas ship, …) or simply a vector (the assaulted ship would be voluntarily aimed at a terrestrial or marine infrastructure) prompt the United States to bring forward the creation of the ISPS code to the International Maritime Organization. In Canada, the Marine Transport Safety Regulations are in place since July 2004 (at the exact time as the UN ISPS code) on all ships and in all of the ports. Every ship carrying more than 500MT of gross tonnage must have a safety plan as well as all ports harbouring international ships. This plan includes emergency response or protection, staff rallying points or actions to be undertaken for each level of safety and generally speaking all useful information in case of a threat. This document is confidential. The ship and its interface (different ship of port) agree on a security plan, on each individual’s role in the safety of everyone (who is attributed with a specific task, where and how), security plans need to be validated by an authority.       5.2 A security officer is designated onboard each vessel. (Ship Security Officer or SSO) A security officer is designated in each company owning ships (Company Security Officer or CSO) A security officer is designated in each port facility. (Port Facility Security Officer or PFSO) Security levels are established (MARSEC 1, 2 or 3) level 3 corresponding to a potential serious threat A vessel visiting a port facility must at least apply the minimum required safety level of the concerned. A port facility may have an inferior general safety level compared to the ship while applying appropriate measures for the area of the ship with a superior safety level. Obligations and Responsibilities In concerns with a marine facility, the operator of the latter has ISPS responsibilities. Individuals as well have ISPS responsibilities to varying extents, whether they are assigned as security officers of the marine facility, as an individual having security responsibilities or an individual having no responsibilities in regards to security. Here is an overview of each and everyone’s responsibilities without limiting itself to the following: Marine Facility Operator: - Establish an administrative and organizational structure - Provide technical support and training to the Security Officers onboard the Marine Facilities as well as to individuals having responsibilities - Designate a Security Officer for each Marine Facility of for various MF - Operate the MF in accordance with the safety plan. - Coordinate the implementation of the safety plan with individuals, structures and organisations responsible or linked to the MF. Marine Facility Security Officer (M.F.S.I.). - Elaborate and provide security plans and procedures. - Implement and keep safety plans updated. - Inspect marine facilities. 35 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. - Coordinate the safety plan implementation during interface with structures. Coordonner la mise en place du plan de sûreté lors d’interface avec des bâtiments. Make corrections when flaws are observed. Raise awareness, vigilance level and ensure training of M.F.’s personnel. Report threats and infractions to marine security authorities. Report implementation of procedures in between each MARSEC level. Keep records of security and calibration of safety equipment. Ensure safety training is well orchestrated. He can delegate his duties but remains responsible. Individuals having responsibilities towards security: - Including, but not limited to, superintendents, supervisors, site superintendent and management - May be attributed further responsibilities towards safety plan - Access control, establishment of security perimeters, inspections. - Report all problems and safety plan infractions to the M.F.S.O. Individual having no responsibility in terms of security: - Such as office workers, visitors or subcontractors. - Can act to strengthen safety plan by signaling obvious loopholes, infractions or by verbalizing their doubts in terms of safety. 5.3 MARSEC levels MARSEC means Maritime Security ». It consists of a 3-level scale in terms of potential threats. The MARSEC level is determined by the Government and transmitted to Marine Facility Security Officers. By default, the MARSEC level is always at level 1. Here is what implies each level: MARSEC 1: Normal Operations / Common Procedures - Access control to the facility - Access control of merchandise - Surveillance and/or locking of restricted areas - Cargo handling checks and inspection - Supply delivery inspections and checks - Ship and Facility Surveillance MARSEC 2 : MARSEC 1 measures + additional procedures - Determined and required by Transport Canada - Defined Period of time - Increase in the frequency of monitoring or inspections - Additional assigned personnel - No access to visitors - Constant surveillance of restricted areas - In depth inspection of cargo and merchandise - Patrols and lookouts - All other measures deemed necessary MARSEC 3 : MARSEC 2 measures + additional procedures - Determine and required by Transport Canada - Defined Period of time and under exceptional measures - Additional monitoring or restricted access - Suspension of Cargo and supply operations 36 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. - 5.4 Various facility and restricted area searches. Inventory and increased monitoring of cargo. Constant Surveillance. M.F. Evacuation / Redirect ships (at sea) All other measures deemed necessary Safety infraction and incidents - Non-authorized individual aboard the marine facility Non-authorized vehicle in a restricted area Docking of Non-authorized vessel Bomb alert Suspicious individual or activities within the facility (manifestation, strike, …) Discovery of a suspicious item or one’s content which is ignored (without delivery order) Security breaches Sabotaged equipment All other situations which raise reasonable concerns in relation to the safety of the Marine Facility. ALL INCIDENTS, INFRACTIONS OR SITUATIONS WHICH SEEM UNORDINARY MUST BE IMMEDIATELY BE REPORTED TO YOUR SUPERVISOR OR TO THE APPOINTED M.F.S.O. 5.5 Permanent, temporary R.A and temporary C.A. passes Three types of passes can be emitted. These passes correspond and give access to specific areas: Permanent pass The permanent pass is often issued by port authorities. It gives access, in most cases, to all port areas, to restricted areas and controlled areas. With this pass in hand, a full access is granted. It might be necessary to show a temporary R.A. pass or permanent at times. Temporary Restricted Area pass (R.A.) Temporary and/or Visitor passes for Restricted Areas are issued for various reasons:  Ship visitor. Is not allowed to circulate in R.A. of the facility without an escort. The transfer of the care responsibility by the ship must be registered under part 2 of the Annex 5.  Facility visitor: Preferably under escort. Cannot access R.A. of the facility. Cannot access the interface area without an escort.  Temporary: As an alternative to a lost or forgotten permanent pass by an employee. En remplacement d’un laissez-passer permanent égaré ou oublié par un employé. Applies to the facility’s frequent and recognized service suppliers. Controlled Area (C.A.) temporary pass  Passes for Controlled Areas allows the holder to solely circulate in controlled areas. Temporary passes are issued by the security guard of by the M.F.S.O. Access badges must be worn at all times. They must also be worn above the waste. Here are some excerpts from Marine transportation safety regulations in regards to a pass-holder’s responsibilities and obligations: Article 380 It is strictly forbidden for all individuals to enter a restricted area or remain on-site unless the concerned person holds a restricted area pass issued under article 384 for this area. 37 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. Article 381 Each individual under escort in a restricted area must remain in presence of the escort as long as he stays in the area.  An escort must either remain in presence of the escorted individual as long as this person stays in the restricted area or ensures that another restricted area pass holder acts in this capacity.  In the case of a restricted area two, it is forbidden to escort more than 10 persons at the same time or more than a vehicle at a time. Article 382 Granting an individual access to a restricted area or assisting him in entering is strictly forbidden unless that person is authorized under article 380. Article 385 All restricted area pass or key holder which loses or has his pass or key stolen must report immediately to the port authority or the marine facility manager. Article 391      5.5 It is strictly forbidden for anyone: To lend or give a restricted area pass or key which have been issued to another individual. To alter or modify in any way a restricted area pass or key. To possess or use a restricted area pass or key which have been issued to another person. To use a counterfeited restricted area pass or key. To duplicate or reproduce a restricted area pass or key. Cargo safety and storage Materials and cargo which are handled and stored in marine facilities before, during and after an interface security must be made in conformity with the marine facility’s safety protocole. Whether it is CCD llolll or not, regulations can differ. If in doubt, refer to the marine facility’s security officer. Any doubt related to the cargo’s handling, contamination or sabotage must be reported to the M.F.S.O. or to the superintendent as soon as possible. Furthermore, in case of an interface, the cargo shall be inspected occasionally so to ensure everything complies with the law. 6. In case of contaminant spill 6.1 Precautionary measures to take in case of accidental spill During an accidental spill, the following precautions should be respected before proceeding to the confinement and cleaning of the contaminated area: a) Isolate the spill area and evacuate if necessary, depending on the nature of the product. b) Make sure to understand the nature of the product as well as having the SIMDUT technical sheet in hand if needed. 38 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. c) d) e) Have adequate personal safety equipment so to prevent product coming in contact with skin, eyes or airways. Remove ignition sources if possible (vehicle with engine running: move vehicles away from the area) If people are injured or exposed to the leakage or spill, address them as a priority and alert emergency services if needed. 6.2 Repairing leaks and recovering residual materials a) b) Stop the leak and contain the breach with the help of absorbent materials. With the help of oil-absorbent pads, drain covers or other accessible materials, cover drains, catch-basins and/or areas where potential water contamination may occur. When the spill is under control, proceed to its recovery with the help of absorbent products before confining all products and materials used in an appropriate container intended for this purpose. Identify the container using the recovered product’s fact sheet before storing the latter in compliance with SIMDUT usage rules. Place used personal safety equipment in an airtight bag before storing it at the same place as the contaminated residual materials. Communicate with a company licenced in hazardous waste management and disposal for transportation to an approved site for this type of disposal. c) d) e) f) According to the Environmental Act, an hazardous chemical waste must be appropriately collected, stored and treated.

Tout directeur, gérant, surintendant, superviseur, contremaître, représentant ou responsable des opérations d’un service ou d’un port ou secteur de l’entreprise. 4. Applications Cette politique s’applique à toutes les personnes faisant affaires avec CASTALOOP INC. Les lieux visés par l’application de la politique sont les suivants, et sans s’y limiter:  Tous les bureaux de CASTALOOP ou bâtiments qui sont sous sa responsabilité  Dans les aires de travail extérieures et terrains.  Sur tous les navires en lien avec les opérations de CASTALOOP INC.  Dans tous les véhicules et machinerie de CASTALOOP INC., incluant ceux qui sont en location.  Dans tout autres endroits ou activités en liens avec CASTALOOP tel que, et sans s’y limiter, restaurant, hôtel, conférence, formation. La prévention demeure la première protection contre le harcèlement. Il est rappelé aux personnes qu’elles sont tenues d’observer le code de conduite et les principes fondamentaux de CASTALOOP INC, de même que les politiques et les procédures ayant pour but d’instaurer un milieu de travail positif et d’assurer le meilleur niveau de services possible aux clients. Aussi, elles ont le devoir de prévenir le harcèlement en décourageant les gens de se livrer à des activités inappropriées et en signalant les incidents de la façon prévue dans la présente politique. 5. Processus de règlement d’une plainte Afin de porter une plainte officielle, le plaignant doit en informer son superviseur ou gestionnaire, ou le représentant RH compétent. Si une personne reçoit une plainte contre une personne, elle doit la diriger vers la Direction, qui remplira le formulaire de plainte en compagnie du plaignant. Il existe alors trois (3) façon de procéder : 1. 2. 3. Aucune intervention : Le comportement n’est pas considéré comme du harcèlement et le plaignant en convient. Résolution : Si le harcèlement est subtil ou bénin et que le plaignant en convient, la plainte est réglée de façon informelle avec l’aide de la Direction. Renvoi : Si la plainte concerne un incident modéré ou grave de harcèlement ou si l’incident concerne un abus de pouvoir, alors il faut en informer la Direction et la plainte doit faire l’objet d’une médiation, d’une enquête ou, dans les cas extrêmes, elle doit être transmise aux autorités policières. Une fois qu’une plainte a été déposée, la Direction mènera une enquête en exécutant les tâches suivantes : 1. 2. 3. 4. Une entrevue avec le plaignant ; Une entrevue avec le présumé harceleur ; Une entrevue avec les témoins identifiés par le plaignant ou par le présumé harceleur ; La tenue de tous les aspects de l’enquête. La Direction peut choisir d’impliquer et de déléguer l’enquête à un consultant externe qualifié en ressources humaines. Dans le cas où une plainte soutient qu’un membre de la Direction a commis du harcèlement, la situation sera renvoyée à une tierce partie objective et qualifiée dans le domaine d’enquêtes relatives au harcèlement. Toutes les entrevues doivent être tenues dans des lieux privés et toute information obtenue ou enregistrée doit être traitée en confidentialité. Toutes les plaintes seront abordées avec une très grande attention. Une fois l’enquête complétée, La Direction ou le consultant des ressources humaines préparera un rapport écrit et il recommandera quelle action, si tel est le cas, doit être adoptée. Dans les cas où il y a preuve de harcèlement, une action appropriée corrective ou disciplinaire sera recommandée. Si la plainte implique la Direction, le rapport du consultant doit être fourni au président du Conseil d’administration qui devra organiser une réunion dans les délais les plus courts, qui regroupera les parties impliquées. 52 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file. Purchase a license to generate PDF files without this notice. Si la situation n’est pas résoulue à la discrétion du plaignant, ce dernier a le droit de porter plainte directement à la Commission canadienne des droits de la personne. Les situations où est portée une accusation de harcèlement sont extrêmement délicates et souvent fort complexes. Dans tous les cas, il importe au plus haut point d’assurer la sécurité émotionnelle et physique du plaignant, ce qui peut exiger la prise de mesures qui ne sont pas abordées dans la présente. Règle général, cependant, il faut emprunter le processus suivant : Réception de la plainte  médiation et /ou enquête  intervention  règlement ou appel Plainte factice : Dans le cas où une personne ferait une plainte factice en toute connaissance de cause, la Direction se réserve le droit de prendre toutes mesures disciplinaires nécessaires, jusqu’au congédiement. 6. Rôles et responsabilités La Direction:  Voit au respect de la présente politique par le personnel dont il est responsable. Elle doit ainsi s’assurer que la politique soit connue par tous les employés sous sa responsabilité;  Approuve la présente politique et ses mises-à-jour  Assure le respect de la présente politique  Prends les mesures nécessaires pour faire connaître, diffuser, réviser et respecter la présente politique L’employé:  Respecte les règles présentées dans la présente politique  S’assure du respect de la présente politique  Prends les moyens nécessaires pour que les gens sous sa responsabilité, les sous-contractants, clients et fournisseurs se conforment à la présente politique 7. Confidentialité La réception et l’enquête des plaintes de harcèlement se feront de façon confidentielle en conformité avec les procédures, y compris la prise de mesures correctives. L’information qui doit être communiquée le sera en se reportant au principe du besoin de savoir. 8. Entry into force La présente politique entre en vigueur dès l’adoption par CASTALOOP INC. et remplace toute autre politique ou pratique antérieure. 53 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

Moreover, as an employer, the company acknowledges its obligation to take necessary action so to ensure the safety, health and physical integrity of its workers. Consequently, CASTALOOP INC. Hereby determines safety conditions and objections with respect to work at heights. The present policy repeals and replaces all practices and customs as well as the use of the matter included in this policy which enters by force as soon as it is adopted. 2. Application This procedure applies to work at heights performed aboard ships, on terminals and storing areas under the responsibility of Castaloop. The latter supports the implementation of the company’s health and safety policy which must be respected by all individuals employed under Castaloop, under the responsibility of Castaloop either it be stevedores, sub-contractors, part-time and regular employees, clients and visitors. 3. Objectives With the present policy, CASTALOOP INC. seeks to ensure that all work done at heights and/or needing tools so to reach elevated structures may be done in a safe manner by all employees, subcontractors and contractors. 4. Application This policy applies to all employees: regulars, part-timers, seasonal, under contract, temporary or substitute as well as all stevedores, subcontractors, suppliers, guests, visitors or any individual doing business with CASTALOOP INC. It applies to all work requiring the use of a ladder, stepladder, scaffold and lifting platform (forklift platform, scissor-lift and telescopic platform. It also includes trafic on ships (open tween deck, ship hold ledge), non-protected structures, wagons and trailer tanks. PROVINCIAL Jurisdiction: all work exposed to a height superior to 3m (10 feet) from the ground. FEDERAL Jurisdiction: all work exposed to a height superior to 2,4m (8 feet) from the ground. 5. Definitions 5.1 Foreman, supervisor, superintendent, team leader Individual responsible for the employee having to work at height. 5.2 Work at height manager Individual to whom supervising responsibilities are given with respect to workers having to work at height with required skills. 73 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

Binding cords must be compliant to the ACNOR Z259.11. standard. 5.9 Shock absorbers Device which limits the force of impact felt by the worker during a fall. The shock absorber can be separately installed or embedded in the safety rope. It must be compliant to the ACNOR Z- Guardrail Device installed so to prevent workers from falling to lower levels. Guardrails must have a height varying from 1 meter to 1.2 meters above the area where workers perform their tasks. A guardrail must be designed to: a) resist a concentrated horizontal force of 900 Newtons applied to any point of the superior rail; b) resist a concentrated vertical force of 450 Newtons applied to any point of the superior rail. The latter must consequently be reinforced where here is a large concentration of workers as well as where a guardrail must endure a larger amount of pressure. If a guardrail must be removed, one or various of the following measures must be taken in order to ensure the workers’ safety: 1. alter the worker’s operating position so that he may be able to undertake his work on the ground or on any other surface where the risks of falling are non-existant; kneeling. 2. make sure the worker is wearing a safety harness while performing his tasks. 3. use another mean which ensures similar safety measures for the worker. 74 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

Ladders should all of Type 1 categories for buildings and industries. 5.12 Platform Device designed for the convenience of receiving staff, tools and necessary materials. 5.13 Lifting Platform Machine comprised of a platform whose position is adjustable and which is mounted on a structure and activated by a motor with an electric control of main functions whose moving can be done from the platform. 5.14 Work with a risk of falling All maintenance tasks and tasks carried out on terminal as well as loading and unloading of ships that pose a risk of falling must be carried out using scaffolds, platforms, walkways, portable ladders, safety harnesses or any other suitable gear. 5.15 Three (3) options for preventing falls 1. Eliminate the risk of falling (limit or reduce exposure to risk of falling); 2. Prevent. Installment of guardrails or walkways, use of platforms, mobile platforms or nacelles, securing yourself to the « restrictive » anchorage points; 3. Stop the fall. When none of the previous options are possible, a safety harness must be worn as well as a safety line equipped with a shock absorber. 6. Roles and responsibilities The manager:  Monitors his staff’s adherence to this policy. He must also ensure that his workers, under his responsibility, are fully aware of such a policy;  Submits any modification of this policy to the human resource branch; Foreman, supervisor, superintendent, team leader  Follows guidelines described in this policy  Makes sure this policy is respected  Take necessary measures so to ensure staff under his responsibility, subcontractors, clients and suppliers are compliant with the policy Human Resource Branch: 75 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.

Ensures his safety at all times during his work Follows the procedures at all times Wears safety equipment against falls Reports observed abnormalities to his direct superior 7. Entry in force This policy enters in force once CASTALOOP adopts it and replaces all other policy or previous activity. 8. Work Procedures 8.1 Course of action for work done at more than 2.4 meters (8 feet) from the ground. The worker must : a) wear at all times a safety harness equipped with a shock absorber and a safety line whenever he finds himself within a 2m perimeter of an area where the risk of falling exists. b) fix his safety line to an anchorage point. d) follow standards fixed by manufaturers if he uses lift equipment. 8.2 Course of action whenever using a ladder A ladder should only be used to climb to a higher level. It acts as an access equipment rather than work equipment.If one needs to work from a ladder, the intented tasks undertaken from it should not exceed 1 continuous hour. If these requirements cannot be respected, other types of equipment should be used (nacelle, scaffolding, lifting platforms). Previous to each use, the worker should make sure to: a) never climb a damaged, deformed or broken ladder; b) ensure that the ladder is clean; c) check if all parts serving its deployment are conveniently functional; d) verify that the ladder’s locking device is engaged: a) check if the ladder is resting on a solid base and that its uprights at the top are resting and balanced; b) have the ladder firmly maintained in place by one or various workers if not permanently fixed and that its length is equal or exceeding 9 meters; c) prevent the ladder from sliding or being knocked and compromise its balance; d) check if the ladder is attached to its superior part. The task must not be undertaken at more than 12 m of height. For work undertaken for longer periods of time, some other means must be used. 8.3 Course of action for platform and forklift use NEVER USE AN IMPROVISED PLATFORM (pallet, lifting forks…) The platform must be approved and possess an identification plate. 76 An evaluation version of novaPDF was used to create this PDF file.
