ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS None PROCEDURE Commitment The provision of a safe work place for all employees, contractors and others involved in Pipelines & Distribution (P & D) activity is of paramount importance to Imperial Oil. A specific policy has been developed to describe Imperial Oil's commitment to Safety in its business dealings. This policy is presented in Appendix 4. P & D has incorporated in this document entitled "Contractor Safety Program – Pipeline & Distribution" the key components suitable to cover the intent of the Imperial Oil’s Products & Chemicals: Contractor Safety Management Program. This program is intended to guide contractors in order to meet P&D expectations when implementing their safety program to achieve the goal of Nobody Gets Hurt. P & D is committed to continuously improve its safety programs by providing updates to guidelines on a regular basis. P & D is also committed to provide performance feedback to individual contractors relative to defined goals and expectations and to share learning’s from captured data from all contractors. IOL employees and Contractors have the individual responsibility to ensure their own safety and the safety of co-workers in everything they do. Safety rules alone cannot prevent incidents. The indispensable ingredients of a safe working environment are: Management commitment and visible leadership Employee support and accountability Knowledgeable people executing assigned tasks as planned, working as a team committed to carrying out assignments in the safest manner Continuous improvement of the safety program September 2014 Page 12 P&D 02.01 Commitment to Health and Safety PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 01: Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Introduction Commitment to Health and Safety IOL employees, contractors and workers have the responsibility and the obligation to prevent all types of incidents including injuries by observing established working rules, by practicing the principles taught in safety training and by providing new ideas on how safety efforts might be further strengthened. No business objective is so important that it will be pursued at the expense of safety. Contractors performing work on IOL premises shall be required to comply with IOL safety guidelines and adopt safety practices equivalent or superior to those outlined in these guidelines.

The RMP may also identify actions by Imperial Oil to support the contractor’s efforts in safety. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS App 1 - RMP Example App 5 - Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan App 6 - Annual RMP Review Meeting Process Cycle App 8 - RMP Development Guide PROCEDURE THE RMP OWNER There shall be only one RMP Owner within Imperial Oil Products and Chemicals Division (Imperial Oil) for each Contractor that has an RMP. The RMP Owner should be selected from an appropriate management level or position that will have the necessary credibility with the management of the Contractor Company. The RMP Owner will directly include regional and national Contractor management in RMP discussions to drive regional and national improvements in the Contractor’s safety programs and performance for the benefit of all the Imperial Oil contract users. RMP OWNER ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The RMP Owner speaks on behalf of Imperial Oil and its contract users to ensure that the Contractor’s management is aware of all focused safety improvements required for their work at Imperial Oil BU’s/Sites, and that the Contractor’s management is committed to addressing fully the improvements per the RMP. The RMP Owner will: September 2014 Page 18 P&D 02.03 Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 03: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan prepare jointly with the assigned Contractor Company and other IOL Business Unit users, the initial development and subsequent updates of the RMP for new and renewed contracts ensure the scope, integrity and quality of the RMP for their assigned Contractor Company will continuously improve the safety performance of the Contractor on Imperial Oil work sites ensure that both the RMP Owner and the Contractor sign the RMP ensure that the necessary Imperial Oil management approval of the RMP is in place consistent with risk matrix approval requirements as per the RMP Development User’s Guide; review periodically with the Contractor Company the status of focused improvements identified on the RMP and update the RMP when needed conduct an annual review and update of the RMP with the Contractor Company. The RMP Owner will use Appendix 6 - Annual RMP Review Meeting to guide the meeting with the Contractor Company. Contractors must be familiar with the contents of the Appendix and be prepared to present the information at the meeting. update the IOL master Contractor Safety Information Database (CSID) with the latest, updated RMP and inform the RMP User Contacts that the updated RMP is available for their use. THE RMP USER CONTACT Every Contractor that has an RMP may have an RMP User Contact at each Imperial Oil Business Unit and Manufacturing Site. RMP USER CONTACT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES In support of the RMP Owner, the other Imperial Oil BU and Manufacturing Site users of the Contractor shall designate their RMP User Contact. The RMP User Contact speaks on behalf of their BU or Site and shall be the single point of contact with the local, immediate management representatives of the Contractor Company for matters related to the RMP applicable to their BU or Site. The RMP User Contact is responsible for: September 2014 Page 19 P&D 02.03 Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 03: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan supporting the RMP Owner in the initial development and subsequent reviews of the RMP engage the local, immediate management of the Contractor Company, and the local IOL Buddy Manager (if established) to: review the new or updated RMP. If needed, supplement the RMP with additional local requirements and advise the RMP Owner endorse a copy of the RMP review periodically the status of the focused improvements identified on the RMP to ensure progress is being made conduct an annual review and update of the RMP. The RMP User Contact should use the Annual RMP Review Meeting Process Cycle to guide the meeting with the Contractor Company. If the RMP Owner exists at another BU/site, then the timing of this review should align with the annual RMP review process conducted by the RMP Owner. PROCEDURE 1. When P&D identifies a Contractor Company that will provide the needed work/service, the P&D User shall first confirm whether or not the Contractor Company is on the Approved Contractor List (ACL). A Contractor Company is on the ACL when there is an active contract in place and the Contractor Company has done work with no significant issues, and no known significant Contractor organizational changes have occurred (i.e. company level changes such as mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, etc.). If the Contractor Company is on the ACL but has not performed like services required by the BU/Site or is not on the ACL, then the Contractor Qualification and Selection Process shall be followed (refer to P&C CSMP manual). Contractor Companies that have active contracts are identified in CSID. 2. The BU shall review the Contractor Companies corporate injury performance data for the past three calendar years from CSID (or PSD if not available) to determine the risk level of the Contractor, per the risk matrix in the RMP Development User’s Guide. Contractors with a “Higher” or “Intermediate” risk level shall require an RMP. For a “Lower” risk level, the BU is to assess whether an RMP is required for the Contractor, based on operational risks or need for a focused safety improvement plan to address known deficiencies. An RMP is optional for a contractor initially deemed to be “Lower” risk. The decision to not complete an RMP is to be documented with rational and retained on file by the BU. September 2014 Page 20 P&D 02.03 Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 03: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan 3. When an RMP is required, the BU shall confirm whether an existing RMP is in place by checking CSID or other Imperial Oil users of the contract. If an RMP exists, then the BU or Site shall review the RMP with the local, immediate management of the Contractor Company applicable to the BU or Site and update it if needed. The BU or Site shall inform the RMP Owner of any updates to the RMP and the name of their RMP User Contact. 4. When an RMP is required but does not exist, the BU shall work with the other Imperial Oil users to determine who will be the RMP Owner, and confirm the names of the RMP User Contacts. 5. The RMP Owner shall prepare the initial RMP with the Contractor Company using the RMP Development User’s Guide document and input from the RMP User Contacts. The findings from the Contractor Safety Program Assessment that was completed during qualification of the Contractor should also be used as input during preparation of the initial RMP. The RMP Template shall be used for documenting the RMP. The RMP shall be signed by the Contractor Company representative, the RMP Owner and the local Buddy Manager (if established) to signify their agreement and commitment to the improvement plans. An example of a completed RMP is provided. 6. The RMP Owner shall ensure that the correct level of Imperial Oil management approval is obtained for the RMP, consistent with the approval levels identified in the RMP Development User’s Guide document. The RMP Owner shall address the feedback from the approver and additional requests or requirements. 7. The RMP Owner shall add the approved RMP to CSID, inform the RMP User Contacts and PSD that the RMP is approved and available in CSID, and provide a copy of the approved RMP to the Contractor Company. 8. The RMP User contacts shall engage their local, immediate management of the Contract Company and the local IOL Buddy Manager for the Contract Company (if established) to implement the RMP, consistent with requirements in the RMP User Contact Roles and Responsibilities discussed earlier in this section. 9. The RMP Owner and RMP User Contacts shall identify to their respective management contacts with the Contractor Company any requirements for a periodic review of the status of the focused improvements identified on the RMP, and implement these periodic reviews accordingly to ensure continued progress by the Contractor. Failure to close in a timely manner may result in a non-conformance being filed with the procurement services department and potential termination of the contract. 10. The RMP Owner shall conduct an annual review and update of the RMP with the Contractor Company and RMP User Contacts. The annual RMP Review Meeting September 2014 Page 21 P&D 02.03 Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 03: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan Process Cycle should be used to guide the annual meeting with the Contractor. If the Contractor’s corporate annual safety performance has deteriorated to a point that results in an increase in the RMP risk level, then the RMP Owner is required to obtain appropriate Imperial Oil management re-approval of the updated RMP to allow continued use of the Contractor. 11. Upon a review, the RMP Owner shall update CSID with the latest, updated RMP and inform the RMP User Contacts that the approved RMP is available for their use. RETURN TO INDEX September 2014 Page 22 P&D 02.03 Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors PURPOSE AND SCOPE The site supervisor is the most critical driver of site safety performance. They are the contractor's representative responsible for controlling the safe and efficient performance at the site by all direct hired contractor employees and subcontractors. It is therefore imperative that the site supervisor has strong supervisory skills, is knowledgeable and is motivated, especially in the area of workplace safety. The Contractor Supervisor screening process is intended to qualify only those supervisors who are familiar with the Imperial Oil safety requirements, possess the desire to encourage safety in others, and will provide visible and active leadership to ensure a safe work site. Contractor Supervisor screening is required for all levels of contractor supervision responsible for conducting work on Imperial Oil sites and can include subcontractor supervisors. P&D exceptions to the screening process and the SLD program shall be approved by the P&D OIMS 8A Administrator and documented in this procedure. The ability to maintain the designation of approved supervisor will depend on meeting the intent of the Safety Leadership Development (SLD) program that is discussed in this Section. The requirement to provide a SLD program or a similar one that meets the intent of this one, applies to Contractor Companies who are conducting work at Safety Work Levels 1, 2 and 3 (defined in PDM 01-14-03). It is the responsibility of the Contractor Company requiring a SLD program, to ensure that all supervisors and subcontracted supervisors are fully included. It is recommended that the Contractor Safety Advisors be included in part or the entire program described in this Section, particularly the screening process. The Contractor Company is responsible for the development of their supervisors. Field Supervisors are responsible for the safety of the workers under their supervision and must reinforce the appropriate safety culture throughout the worksite. The purpose of a structured evaluation program for Contractor Supervisors is to: Reinforce the understanding and value of a Contractor Company’s safety management values and expectations, consistent with the drive to Nobody Gets Hurt Continuously develop the safety leadership capabilities of field supervisors (superintendents, foremen, supervisors, lead hands) and enhance their skills in their area of accountability to support and manage direct reports and subcontractors to complete work safely without incident Increase the effectiveness of the use of key safe work practices and tools in the workplace September 2014 Page 23 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors Ensure personal development plans, called Supervisor Improvement Plans (SIP’s) are formalized and documented to put learning into practice in the workplace, and improve individual knowledge and skill. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS App 7 - Contractor Supervisor Screening Evaluation Part 1, 2, & 3 App 39 - Contractor Supervisor Competency Tool (SLPI Ranking and Scorecard) DEFINITIONS Contractor Supervisor: A supervisor with the Contractor Company or its subcontractors who provides oversight and work direction to one or more of the Contractor’s or subcontractors work crews at an IOL work site. This includes the positions of superintendent, supervisor, foreman, and lead hand. PROCEDURES This Contractor Supervisor Evaluation subject is delineated in 10 sections: 1. Supervisor preparation before working for IOL 2. Supervisor screening process 3. Supervisor responsibilities working for P&D 4. Supervisor duties working for IOL and P&D 5. The initial development period of a supervisor 6. Ongoing monitoring and development of the Supervisor 7. Supervisor evaluation and improvement period 8. Verification, coaching and mentoring of the Supervisor 9. Supervisor evaluation scoring 10. Attesting and stewardship of contractor supervisor safety development 1. SUPERVISOR PREPARATION BEFORE WORKING FOR IOL September 2014 Page 24 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors It is incumbent upon the Contractor Company to offer the best candidate supervisors for work at an Imperial Oil site. The Contractor Company shall ensure that the supervisor has completed the following before the supervisor undertakes the Supervisor Screening Process so that the candidate has the best chance of success to graduate through the program: Industry Safety Orientation training such as PST, CSTS, POST A provincial construction association Basic Supervisor Course or ExxonMobil Fundamentals of Safety (or obtain within the first 6 months of becoming an IOL Approved Supervisor) Trade and craft training appropriate for the types of tasks and jobs that the supervisor will be involved with at the worksite Contractor Company’s Safety Orientation program Contractor Company’s Supervisor Training program. This should include any key safety rules and regulations, and safe work practices applicable to the Imperial Oil worksite Use and care of PPE required for the job Behavior Based Safety training in LMRA, JSA, Observations and field-level risk assessment processes that include Hazard Recognition and Risk tolerance A&D Screening, as applicable Background Screening checks, as applicable An IOL Safety Orientation Review and understand the contractor’s Risk Mitigation Plan with IOL Review and understand the P&D Contractor Safety Program manual which contains minimum expectations the supervisor must be aware of 2. SUPERVISOR SCREENING PROCESS The award of a job requires IOL approval of the proposed supervisor. Failure of a Contractor to provide an approved supervisor listed in the master IOL Contractor Safety Information Database (CSID) for the job will eliminate the contractor from being awarded the job. September 2014 Page 25 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors Any supervision substitution requires prior approval by IOL The initial Contractor Supervisor Evaluation and Screening process consists of four parts. To be listed in CSID, the contractor supervisor shall complete Appendix 7, Part 1, 2 & 3 and submit these sections to a P&D CSA. Part 4 requires the candidate supervisor to be interviewed. Part 1 consists of a privacy statement and consent that will allow the results of the evaluation to be recorded in CSID. It also provides for a contractor management guarantee that the screening evaluation has been completed independently by the candidate supervisor. Part 2 consists of 25 questions. The first twenty questions are generic to all Imperial Oil business units/sites. The last five questions may be specific to the business unit/site administering the evaluation. The evaluation consists of multiple choices, true or false, and short answer questions. In preparation for the screening questions, supervisors should review the P&D Contractor Safety Program (CSP). A score of 85% is required to successfully complete Part 2 of the evaluation. Part 3 consists of a review and confirmation by the Contractor Company of the Contractor Supervisor's safety training and knowledge of the RMP/Focused Safety Improvement Plan for the Contractor. At a minimum, all supervisors are required to complete a provincial construction association Basic Supervisor Course or an industrial equivalent. The ExxonMobil Fundamentals of Safety course for Managers/Supervisors is considered an equivalent. If the supervisor has not previously taken a basic supervisor course, then they must take the course within six months of submitting the screening evaluation. The supervisor will be allowed to work as a supervisor during that six month period, providing they were successful in completing the other sections of the evaluation. The supervisor must provide a copy of the course certificate as proof of course completion to a P&D CSA. Part 4 consists of a Desire Questions interview by an IOL supervisor or manager. The contractor supervisor is to arrange for an interview appointment with a designated Imperial Oil interviewer. The P&D Project Manager, Local Site Manager or CSA can be contacted for a list of potential interviewers. Preparation is not required for the interview. The interview is intended to assess the supervisor's safety desire and attitude. The candidate supervisor will be asked to respond to three scenario based questions and provide information on how they would handle the situation. The interviewer will determine if the response warrants successful qualification of the candidate supervisor. The candidate must satisfactorily address two of the three questions to qualify. The interviewer will advise the candidate of the interview results and will forward an interview results summary to the P&D CSA (screening coordinator), along with any suggestions for the Supervisor Improvement Plan. September 2014 Page 26 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors The P&D CSA will mark Part 2 of the screening document, review Part 3 and obtain results of Part 4. They will also communicate results to the contractor management representative. The communication will indicate if there are any limitations, restrictions or follow-up action required for the Contractor Supervisor as part of his/her overall Supervisor Improvement Plan. Once a supervisor has been screened and is approved, approved subject to an improvement plan or rejected, their name is entered into CSID for retention by IOL. Any improvement opportunities identified from Parts 2 to 4 of the screening process shall be listed in CSID as an overall SIP that is to be shared with the candidate and Contractor Company. If approved, the supervisor is eligible to be a supervisor on any IOL project unless removed for performance reasons (which will change his or her approved status in the database). The SIP may also identify any limitations, restrictions on use of the supervisor at Imperial Oil until the person obtains further qualifications or experience. When a Contractor Supervisor does not successfully pass this screening process, the candidate supervisor is allowed to attempt evaluation again after two months. Contractor Management is responsible for communicating the results of the screening to the Contractor Supervisor and for improving the candidate supervisor's capability prior to rewriting the evaluation. Every three years the screened supervisor must complete and re-submit Parts 1, 2, & 3 for evaluation. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure their supervisors re-submit in time to remain on the approved list. If a supervisor has successfully remained on the approved list during the interval, Part 4 is not required. Verification of supervisor status will be made by IOL staff prior to projects or maintenance to ensure that only approved supervisors are used. 3. SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES WORKING ON PIPELINE & DISTRIBUTION SITES In the absence of direct supervision at all times provided by the Owner of the site, the criteria for determining supervisor requirements at P&D sites are: The general expectation for project work is that contractor crews will be led on site at all times. The general expectation for maintenance work is that contractor crews will be led by an IOL approved supervisor who is either on site or available by phone. For crews of 1 or 2 workers the site manager and contractor shall mutually determine the requirements for on-site supervision based upon the risk of the work. The minimum requirement will be a daily IOL approved supervisor phone call to the crew lead/foreman to discuss BBS activities, environmental conditions, risk of September 2014 Page 27 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors hazards associated with tasks to be completed, how the hazards were mitigated and other activities on the owner’s site that may impact work For crews of three and larger, an IOL approved supervisor will be on site, as a minimum, for the beginning of the workday and until a toolbox meeting is conducted, work activities discussed with crew, hazards mitigated and planned work is underway The following tasks are exempt from the above processes providing an introductory meeting has taken place which includes a job scope and hazards review: Any task 100 % supervised by P&D representative (including but not limited to telecom services, electrical or gov't inspectors) Janitorial work Snow Removal (providing each worker has attended an orientation meeting at the beginning of the winter season. If not, an approved supervisor must be on site directing the work) Worker on site for less than one hour (including but not limited to mat change out, indoor pest control, delivery or pick, waste pickup, etc ) Secondary site Operational Contractor Aerial Line Patrol Rail yard shunting 4. SUPERVISOR DUTIES WORKING FOR IOL AND P&D Supervisors are responsible for but not limited to performing the following activities: 1. Supervisors have the ultimate responsibility to ensure that all workers are in compliance with company/client rules and provincial regulations on the work site. 2. Supervisors must ensure that work activities are conducted in a safe and constructive manner. Supervisors must know what each crew member is doing at all times, what equipment they are involved with and what tools are being used. 3. Supervisors must ensure they have a completed pre-qualification document, including an RMP if required, on file for each subcontracted crew. 4. Supervisors must ensure that all new employees and subcontractors have current contractor's and client's orientation and understand the information provided. September 2014 Page 28 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors 5. The approved supervisor will provide basic BBS training explaining LMRA, JSA, HID, and PJO's to all workers including subcontractors, prior to start of work. Contractor supervisor is responsible to ensure BBS requirements are met by work crew even when the supervisor is not on site. Supervisors must review elements of the BBS program with new workers to the site and ensure they understand the purpose of each element. 6. Supervisors are to discuss risk tolerance to new workers and calibrate new workers ' risk tolerance to the site's acceptable level. 7. Supervisors will occasionally review the risk tolerance expectation with all crew members and recalibrate as required. 8. Supervisors are responsible for subcontractor safety performance - even if subcontractor has their own health and safety program. 9. Supervisors must ensure workers have proper PPE for the job and know how to use it correctly. 10. Supervisors must immediately intervene when the safety rules and procedures are not followed. Once the workers are safe, the supervisor is to investigate the cause and initiate the contractor's discipline process with their immediate supervisor. 11. Supervisors must ensure all workers: have received proper training and are competent, have the right tools & work instructions, know & understand Life Saving and General Site Rules. Life Saving Rules are critical safety rules that if broken, require executing the contractors discipline policy 12. An up-to-date Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is to be available for each daily task. Supervisors must ensure it adequately addresses risk of work activities and is reviewed with all crew members assigned to the task prior to going to work. The approved supervisor must verify the JSA quality and that mitigation plans are actionable and carried out. Contractor Supervisor to complete with subcontractor if work subcontracted. 13. Supervisors must provide workers with clear instructions or communication of policies, initiatives and work procedures at daily toolbox meetings and safety meetings. 14. Supervisors must provide visible leadership in the field and provide coaching during safety walkabouts. Verification of workers compliance to expectations requires supervisors to be in the field a significant part of their day. Verification requires more than just asking if worker is compliant, it requires observation in the field. September 2014 Page 29 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors 15. Supervisors must be zero tolerant - hold people accountable for their actions. Be consistent and always take action. i.e. commend for safe behaviours and correct unsafe behaviour and initiate the discipline policy as per company standards (except where BBS tool process allows other solutions). 16. Contractor's supervisor shall represent Contractor when accepting a Safe Work Permit and shall ensure that work agreements are obtained, fully communicated to the applicable personnel, complete with workers signature, and hazard mitigation implemented before work is started. 17. Contractor supervisor is responsible to complete daily LMRA verifications, be able to provide a list of the workers verified back to Owner, and provide the number planned vs. completed during quarterly stewardship submissions to the Owner. 18. Contractor supervisor is responsible to complete Planned Jobs Observations (PJO) as per frequency agreed to with owner but in no case less than weekly, document and retain them for quality reviews, and provide the number planned vs. completed back to Owner. 19. Contractor Supervisor must obtain the current MSDS for all hazardous substances and receive permission to bring the substance on-site. 20. The Contractor’s Supervisor must report to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and/or OH&S or provincial equivalents, for any incident that meets the regulatory boards requirements. Where an employee fails to report an injury incident and obtain proper medical attention in a timely fashion, an injured employee’s right to compensation may be delayed, especially in cases where the disability does not immediately follow the incident. 21. When an incident or near-incident (near miss/loss) occurs, the approved supervisor must stop the work, ensure safety of all, implement appropriate response and communications, resolve situations in order to return to work including a preliminary investigation to find out why the event occurred before work continues and, file preliminary reports and complete full investigation and report per incident reporting guidelines. 5. INITIAL DEVELOPMENT PERIOD OF THE SUPERVISOR The initial development period follows the supervisor screening process. The Contractor Company shall establish and communicate to the supervisor the duration of each review period. For the Initial Development Period, the maximum duration of the review period is 6 months. Competency can be acquired and demonstrated in less than 6-months by the September 2014 Page 30 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors Contractor Supervisor so that he or she ‘graduates’ beyond the Initial Development Period. As well, the Contractor Company may decide in less than 6 months that the supervisor will not be able to show the required competency by the end of the Initial Development Period and remove the supervisor from the position. Once the Contractor Supervisor ‘graduates’ beyond the Initial Development Period, the Contractor Company shall update the SIP, and share this with their IOL contact who will ensure that CSID is updated accordingly. The program is directed at improving safety performance at the worksite by improving supervisor competency in Safety Leadership. To ‘graduate’ beyond the Initial Development Period, the Contractor Supervisor must demonstrate consistently and effectively the following four key aspects of Safety Leadership Development (SLD): Prepare to Work Safely – Plan the successful execution of the job tasks. Everyone involved in undertaking the job must have the willingness, knowledge and ability to execute the task without incident Formulate a Risk Plan – Understand the task at hand and how it will be executed. Based on practice or procedure, prepare a risk plan that eliminates, controls and protects against risk of incident. The supervisor may use such tools as the Job Safety Information Package, Job Safety Analysis and FLJSA to fulfill this expectation Verify Safe Work - Verify the execution of work tasks according to the risk plan. “Stop the work” if it is not going according to plan Learn the Lessons – Include “After Action” reviews and Incident Investigations. Update work practices, procedures and risk plans. The Contractor Supervisor shall also demonstrate knowledge and skills regarding worksite hazards, hazard management, and safe work practices, and be able to lead competently tailgate/toolbox meetings, pre-job and safety meetings, JSA/FLJSA discussions, LPO feedback sessions and incident investigations, as applicable. SLD is an approach using persistent and consistent encouragement by the Contractor Company through verification, coaching and mentoring, including a formal evaluation scoring process and the Supervisor Improvement Plan described earlier, to establish new behaviors. The scorecard, ranking guide and descriptions are shown in CSP Appendix 38 - Contractor Evaluation Competency Tool. This scorecard and ranking guide or an equivalent tool, is used to evaluate the supervisors’ safety knowledge, skill and desire. It is to be used by the Contractor Company for the Initial Development Period and the Ongoing Monitoring and Development Period of the supervisor. The SLD utilizes this measurement model for the continuous improvement of a supervisor’s capability. September 2014 Page 31 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors EXEMPTIONS FROM SLD PROGRAM PARTICIPATION Exemption from the SLD program has been granted to supervisors working for subcontractors that are on site for a short period of time and may not benefit from this program. 6. ONGOING MONITORING AND DEVELOPMENT The ongoing evaluation of the Contractor Supervisors shall be managed by the Contractor Company. The Contractor Supervisor has now successfully progressed through screening and the initial development period, and has demonstrated the required skills, knowledge, behaviors and desire to ensure safe work at an Imperial Oil worksite. The Contractor Company has used the rating tool in CSP Appendix 38 or its equivalent to establish the next review periods. When the supervisor has progressed to the Ongoing Monitoring and Development phase, the duration of a review period is up to 12 months. In this phase, it is expected that the Contractor Company shall meet one-on-one with each of its supervisors on a periodic basis (quarterly as a minimum). The meeting is to provide ongoing feedback to the supervisor and to document progress by the supervisor on closing the action items in the Supervisor Improvement Plan. The Contractor Company should update the evaluation scoring prior to each meeting with the supervisor to monitor trends in the supervisor’s performance and progress in their development. 7. SUPERVISOR EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT At the end of a review period, the Contractor Company shall complete a formal evaluation of the supervisor using their Contractor Supervisor Competency Tool. The outcome of this review will be a decision by the Contractor Company on continued use of the supervisor and an upgrading of the Supervisor Improvement Plan to reflect improvements needed by the supervisor for the next review period. The Contractor Company shall meet with the supervisor to communicate the results of the review, and the expectations/actions for the next review period if the supervisor’s performance is acceptable for continued use. This process will continue through the term of the active contract, or until the supervisor stops working for the Contractor Company during the contract term. Examples of performance areas that can be reviewed, understood and agreed with the supervisor being evaluated include: 1. Understanding of Safety Vision and Priorities for Operating & the Risk Mitigation Plan (RMP) 2. Work Intervention / Stop the Job September 2014 Page 32 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors 3. Hazard Identification and Mitigation 4. Pre-Job Planning - Job Safety Analysis and Field Level JSA 5. SPSA (Last Minute Risk Assessment) 6. Safe Work Practices / Procedures 7. Safety Observations, LPO’s and feedback sessions 8. Lowering the Risk Tolerance of the workforce 9. Communication methods – Trust & Verify Understanding 10. Performance Standards 11. Incident Management Detailed descriptions, suggested techniques and measureable elements for the above performance areas are outlined in CSP Appendix 38, attachment 3. 8. VERIFICATION, COACHING AND MENTORING During the review period of a supervisor, it is expected that the Contractor Company will monitor the supervisor’s performance to ensure role, responsibilities and expectations are being met. The Contractor Company shall also provide ongoing coaching and mentoring to continually develop their supervisors, and ensure they understand and apply any training received. Meeting with supervisors in their work environment conveys the expectation that their development and improvement plans are to be applied at the worksite. It provides opportunity for supervisors to receive coaching, support and encouragement on how well they are applying their learning into practice. Some key questions for the Contractor Company to ask its supervisors during observations in the field to support implementation of development plans, coaching and training received include: What are you doing differently? … due to SLD training knowledge Has it worked? Why / Why Not? … What can we do about it? How can I provide further support? 9. SUPERVISOR EVALUATION SCORING Scoring is to be completed by competent Contractor Company staff with an overall interest in the quality of work done by the supervisor and their crew. It should be done on a regular basis September 2014 Page 33 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors to assess trends. The evaluations shall be discussed with the supervisor to allow for appropriate follow up and improvement. Scoring is typically done more frequently during the supervisors Initial Development Period, and should be done at least once per year for the Ongoing Monitoring and Development Period. The scorecard template is provided in CSP Appendix 38, attachments 1 and 2. The Contractor Company may have or develop an equivalent scorecard. Initially there may be greater involvement by IOL representatives (Buddy Managers, Project Managers, RMP Owners, Team Leaders and SHE representatives, etc.) to help establish the scoring process. The scorecard results for supervisors (Safety Leadership Performance Indicator or SLPI) are expected to be reviewed and stewarded internally within the Contractor Company. At the end of the specified review period for each supervisor, the Contractor Company shall share the updated Supervisor Improvement Plan with their IOL contact who will ensure that CSID is updated accordingly. 10. ATTESTING & STEWARDSHIP OF CONTRACTOR SUPERVISOR DEVELOPMENT P&D shall attest periodically the overall program and Contractor supervisor scoring. This can be accomplished through the regularly scheduled meetings for reviews of RMP’s or Buddy Manager scorecards, or done as a separate, distinct activity. Key components to be attested include: Has the scoring document captured scores for Knowledge, Skill & Desire Has mitigating action been identified and communicated to the supervisor being scored for elements scored 2 or lower Have responsibilities been assigned to mitigating actions and have action items been closed out? The P&D CSA also has the responsibility to ensure that CSID is maintained up-to-date with the current listing of names of the active, screened supervisors, and their individual SIP’s. The Contractor Company shall monitor and track regularly the status of its Supervisor Development program using the following metrics as a minimum: % of Supervisors screened % of Supervisors with SIP September 2014 Page 34 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Supervisors % of SIP’s with action items overdue for closure % of overdue meetings with supervisor at end of a review period The metrics shall be stewarded to P&D quarterly. Stewardship of the Supervisor Leadership Development program should be reviewed at CSA meetings and/or annual RMP review meetings. RETURN TO INDEX September 2014 Page 35 P&D 02.04 Contractor Supervisors PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 05: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction BBS Philosophy PURPOSE AND SCOPE To outline the key concepts behind the use of Behaviour Based Safety principles and their importance to establishing a "Nobody Gets Hurt" work environment. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS CSP 03.02 Behaviour Based Safety: Minimum BBS Activities PDM 01-04-31 The Loss Prevention System (LPS) DISCUSSION It is important that the right level of information on safe work expectations of IOL and P&D is communicated to the contractor before the work begins. P&D contractors that have personnel working full time (embedded) on P&D sites will follow the Loss Prevention System (LPS) of Behaviour Based Safety (BBS). The system is described in PDM 01-04-31. All other contractors (short term projects, intermittent, infrequent or on-site less than 180 days per year) will use a BBS system that meets the intent of the following discussion. Personal safety incidents are a result of a momentary loss of control which results in the incident. The outcome of the incident is unpredictable. For example, if a worker was to fall from a ladder there are many outcomes that could result from this incident. The worker could land on the ground, cat-like on their feet, and suffer no injury. Equally, the worker could land awkwardly and twist an ankle, knee, wrist, or fracture a bone or skull. The outcome is a function of circumstances outside the worker’s direct control and is often characterized as “luck”. As we cannot control the outcome of the incident and it would be irresponsible to rely on luck, we must work to prevent the incident in the first place. The prevention of all incidents does not happen by itself. It requires deliberate action by management and worker alike. Management must establish a work environment, which provides for worker safety (appropriate procedures, safety equipment, employee selection and skill development, critical safety expectations and requirements). The workers must ensure that safety is built into each and every aspect of their behaviour. In other words, management is responsible for establishing an environment for safe behaviour and the worker is responsible for behaving safely. Behaviour Based Safety tools are established to encourage workers to do effective risk analysis before launching into an activity. The tools are simple and are founded on the September 2014 Page 36 P&D 02.05 BBS Philosophy PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 05: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction BBS Philosophy belief that a low risk tolerance and a mind engaged on the task will eliminate all incidents. Both conditions, a low risk tolerance and a mind engaged in the task, need to be discussed to better understand both management’s and the worker’s role in preventing incidents. Generally speaking, every individual has a different tolerance or acceptance of risk. To some, taking a risk is nothing more than a means to an end and the degree to which this is done varies dramatically. There is no such thing as zero risk. When we breathe, we take risks. However, there is a point beyond which the outcome is likely to become an unfavourable result. Collectively, we must be smart enough to determine the unfavourable result threshold. Determining this requires deliberate thought and is where the three basic steps of risk management come into play. Risk management is a simple process where one identifies all the hazards that could occur as a result of the planned activity, assesses those hazards to determine which would result in an unfavourable outcome and mitigates or prevents those outcomes from happening through deliberate action before the task is started. Simply stated the process is identify, assess, mitigate and act. Management must create an environment that ensures that this happens and the workers must execute their work such that it is happening with each and every action. The regimented use of behaviour based safety tools is a simple and proven managing system approach to encouraging effective risk assessment. The behaviour based safety system outlined in this manual addresses risk assessment at two levels: for routine, generally lower risk activities (activities for which no reasonable person would require a documented procedure) for commonly identified, higher risk activities (activities where there is a generally accepted need for documenting a more thorough consideration of the risks and how they will be mitigated and better co-ordination of all parts of the activity) Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) Managing the routine, generally lower risk activities, is done through the deliberate use of what is generically called an LMRA. Many companies encourage/require the use of a similar tool to manage this routine risk e.g. programs such as “Take Two”, “Stop and Think”, "Safe Performance Self Assessment". These programs all advocate the same thing – the last minute before you embark upon an activity, do a risk assessment, ensure that you have analyzed how to mitigate the risks, and then complete the necessary action so that there is not an incident. The LMRA is a mental process for which there is no documentation required. If the routine activity involves other workers, then the process needs to be discussed (still not requiring documentation). It is to be used September 2014 Page 37 P&D 02.05 BBS Philosophy PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 05: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction BBS Philosophy before and during all routine activities and it is a skill that needs to be encouraged and honed. The LMRA tool is based on the principle of employees taking responsibility for their own safety in all daily work activities and taking the necessary time to: Assess the risk Analyze how to reduce the risk Act to ensure safe operations Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Managing commonly identified, higher risk activities requires a more formal and documented risk management process. This process is generically referred to as a JSA or Job Safety Analysis. A job safety analysis has exactly the same considerations as does an LMRA. However, since the JSA is protecting against a more substantial risk, it needs to be documented, discussed with everyone in the work crew involved and then reviewed by the site supervisor to ensure that the appropriate level of risk management is brought to the task. The JSA development process is described in CSP Section 03.04. Effective employment of the above two behaviour based risk management tools, LMRA and JSA, will eliminate all incidents. It is the worker’s responsibility to understand and use the tools. It is management’s responsibility to ensure that the worker does understand and is using the tools. In addition to the above two risk management tools, there are three equally simple diagnostic tools that can be used by management to gauge the quality of execution of each of the two risk assessment tools. The LMRA Verification, LMRA Effectiveness Check and the JSA Quality Evaluation Tool assess worker knowledge and are required to continually improve worker awareness. Discussion of each tool is covered in 03-03 (LMRA) and 03-04 (JSA). A fourth diagnostic tool is the Planned Job Observation. Planned Job Observation (PJO) The effective use of risk management in general, and the job safety analysis tool specifically, can be done through the use of a simple diagnostic tool called a Planned Job Observation Report (Appendix 13) or PJO. In a planned job observation the September 2014 Page 38 P&D 02.05 BBS Philosophy PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 05: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Introduction BBS Philosophy supervisor, manager or any other interested party stands back from the work and observes it in progress. The observer then documents their observations and determines (in their opinion) whether the work activity is being done leaving the worker(s) “safe” or “at risk”. The observations are done against a predetermined checklist of typical items to look for and/or against the JSA that was prepared by the work crew for the task in progress (i.e. is the work crew following the job steps and mitigation that they built into the JSA). Once the observations are made and recorded, the observer must engage the crew in a discussion of what was observed. It is to be an open, constructive discussion and consideration should be given to the worker’s opinions on “safe” or “at risk” judgment as well. The PJO will likely result in follow-up which should be appropriately closed (occasionally the follow-up required is by others not associated with the task being observed). As in the case of the LMRA verification, the outcome of the PJO must be collected and used to direct the site and company safety program. This will address the remaining 30% of the behaviour-based failures resulting in personal injury incidents in IOL experience. It is worth noting that this Behaviour Based Safety approach is focused on adjusting every worker’s risk tolerance and improve their risk management awareness and skills. This means that the program is attempting to change people’s behaviours, whether they are on an IOL site, other client’s sites or off the job. Therefore it is important that due consideration be given to promoting off the job safety with the same techniques and discipline as on the job safety such that nobody gets hurt, anywhere. It is also worth noting that the observation process is for the education of the individual, their peers, crew members, and the organization. As such, the learning’s are free and non-punitive. Just as near-losses must be celebrated when reported, the same is true of PJO’s. The observation process is discussed in CSP 03.05.

ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS Appendix 40 - Subcontractor Selection Form (“no exception” form) Appendix 41 - Subcontractor Management Form (2012) Appendix 42 – Short Term Contractor Performance Evaluation DEFINITIONS Embedded Contractors: Are those that typically provide contractor services full time on site as part of the regular contractor workforce. Such contractors may also be referred to as “base contractors”. Other common terms used are General Contractor (GC) or General Service Provider (GSP). Note: in some cases the GC may be considered to be a “Prime” contractor as identified further in the definitions. Short Term Contractor: Includes contractors that are not part of the full time regular contractor workforce. Such contractors typically perform short term work activity and then leave the site. Some examples of Short Term Contractors include routine maintenance contractors’ onsite intermittently and project contractors. Subcontractor: A contractor that has been sourced by the base or short term contractor to perform a specific scope of work. In these cases, subcontractors are managed by the main contractor, i.e., IOL does not recognize the subcontractor as a separate entity from the main contractor. Prime Contractor: A contractor that has been assigned in writing as “Prime” or “Constructor” per provincial regulation designations to complete a scope-of-work. The prime contractor carries obligations as defined by provincial regulations to carry out the duties to ensure the safety of site workers and, to co-ordinate / manage safely other trades that may be on the work site. For clarity and ease of use in this practice, the term ‘Contractor’ is used in this procedure to mean embedded, GC, GSP or Short Term Contractor. September 2014 Page 40 P&D 02.06 Subcontractor Management PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 06: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Introduction Subcontractor Management PROCEDURE Contractors using subcontractors to perform work must ensure their subcontractors understand the expectations of P&D management. A subcontractor is the full responsibility of the contractor, and their workers are considered to be employees of the Contractor. The work must be performed safely, and to the specifications stated in job scopes and drawings. SUBCONTRACTING REQUIREMENTS A Contractor using a subcontractor to complete a specified scope-of-work is obligated to have in place a subcontractor management process that conforms with the job specification in the formal contract with Imperial Oil. In general, this means: The Contractor has a qualification process in place to obtain a subcontractor for the work. An initial listing of the names of subcontractor companies that the Contractor plans to use shall be provided by the Contractor during the contracting process. Once a contract is in place, the Contractor shall utilize their documented process and complete Appendix 06.040 P&D Subcontractor Selection Form when additional subcontractors are required. Note: For Prime Contractors, similar minimum expectations are established at the start of the contract and managed by the Prime as agreed upon in the contract with the client. When the Contractor identifies a subcontractor supervisor is required to complete the work scope, the Contractor shall advise the appropriate P&D contact, i.e., CSA or Buddy Manager; and follow through with contractor supervisor screening per CSP Section 02.04. Note: from IOL’s view, subcontractor supervisor screening is handled the same way as a Contractor’s supervisor, e.g., in CSID the subcontractor supervisor’s name would be included under the Contractor Company name, the following way: A. Sub (AIM Services). The Contractor shall establish a safety improvement plan with the subcontractor when the safety risk level of the subcontractor is Intermediate or Higher risk per Appendix 5 - Contractor Risk Mitigation Plan. The base Contractor can use a similar process to the Risk Mitigation Plan that is described in CSP Section 02-03. Where a Contractor has an active RMP in place and uses subcontractors, the list of subcontractors shall be kept up-to-date in the RMP as part of the annual review process. In cases where the contractor’s level of safety risk is Lower and an RMP is not in place with the Contractor, but the safety risk level of the subcontractors is Intermediate or Higher risk, the Contractor shall still establish a safety improvement September 2014 Page 41 P&D 02.06 Subcontractor Management PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 06: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Introduction Subcontractor Management plan or RMP with the subcontractor and send completed Subcontractor Selection Forms to the P&D CSA. The Contractor shall utilize a Short Service Worker Program for all subcontractors while on the work site. The subcontractor performance should be considered in Contractor stewardship / reviews with the Buddy Manager Program while working for the Contractor on the site. Where a Buddy Manager has been assigned, the Contractor is required to review the list of subcontractors with their Buddy Manager and to keep the list current. This enables the appropriate discussion with the Buddy Manager of any specific safety improvement plans established by the Contractor with the subcontractor while working at an Imperial Oil work site. The Contractor is required to establish with the Imperial Oil BU or Site a documented communication protocol for work initiation or management with clearly identified contact positions and phone numbers. This should define whether the Contractor allows the subcontractor to be contacted directly by Imperial Oil and with prescribed follow-up after the fact. This is particularly important during off hours such as at night or during the weekend. When a Contractor brings in a subcontractor for a short period of time, the subcontractor shall be included in the overall Contractor’s safety management process, e.g. SSW program. REQUIREMENT EXPLANATIONS Contractors must conduct a pre-qualification of their subcontractors that includes safety performance statistics, Workers Compensation Board [WCB or Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB)] letter of good standing, presence of a safety program including behavior based safety tools, worker training, 3rd party accreditation of safety program, alcohol and drug program and short service worker program. Where subcontractors' programs or safety performance do not meet these expectations, the general contractor shall develop a plan to control subcontractor risks. Appendix 06.041 Subcontractor Management Form is provided as an example. Contractors should avoid a subcontractor with poor safety performance (TRIR performance exceeding 1.0 or LTIR performances exceeding 0.1). When the use of a high-risk subcontractor is necessary, the contractor shall document a strategy to control the risk prior to work. A sample of RMP is provided in Appendix 5. A Contractor September 2014 Page 42 P&D 02.06 Subcontractor Management PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 06: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Introduction Subcontractor Management should communicate safety expectations to subcontractors in conjunction with the scope of work. This should include requirements for: PPE, A&D expectations and testing, site safety orientation, work permits, use of BBS tools and certification documents for personnel, and major equipment. Once the Contractor has qualified the subcontractor, it must complete Appendix 40 – P&D Subcontractor Selection Form, and have it signed by a P&D representative. The representative signs the form indicating they do not take exception to the Contractor using their qualified subcontractor. Both the Contractor and P&D must agree the subcontractor is acceptable to use. Completed forms are sent to a P&D CSA. The requirement for direct supervision of subcontractors is to be determined by the owner and contractor representatives, at the time of work release. One of Contractor's personnel who is suitably qualified shall be designated the responsible supervisor for the subcontractor. The decision for direct supervision of subcontractor workforce is to be based on complexity of the work, subcontractor safety performance, and contractor's familiarity with subcontractor. Contractor shall prior to commencement of work, effectively inform subcontractor of the pertinent regulations, standards and procedures that apply within the boundaries of work site. If pre-qualification determines that subcontractor is unfamiliar with BBS, contractor shall provide a BBS overview to subcontractor workers during site orientation. Contractor shall perform planned job observations (Appendix 13) on subcontractors to ensure safe work practices and compliance to IOL safety expectations. Contractor shall perform last minute risk assessment verifications (LMRA Effectiveness Tool) (Appendix 28) on subcontractors to ensure safe work practices and compliance to IOL safety expectations. Contractor shall ensure that subcontractors develop JSAs for their daily activities and meet IOL safety expectations. If subcontractors require training in JSA development, the contractor is expected to guide them through this process using the JSA Instruction Guide (Appendix 11). Contractor should include frequently used subcontractors in safety communications by providing materials such as safety alerts/bulletins, near miss reports and BBS learnings. Contractor should include subcontractor personnel in tailgate/toolbox meetings and other safety training.

P&D believes that participation in the Contractor Management System (CMS) meetings and the annual safety forum is critical to contractor safety performance improvement. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS None PROCEDURE Planned CMS Meetings Contractor Service Advisors meet on a pre-determined basis with contractors included in the CMS program. Meetings may be at the contractor's office, work site or P&D field offices. Meeting frequencies or contact with contractors are based on the volume of work, type of services provided by contractor, contractor safety performance risk rating and duration and type of contractor exposure on site. A CMS contact is identified as: Type 1 - Receive only weekly safety communication emails. Type 2 - Invited to the Contractor Safety Forum and receive weekly safety communication emails. Type 3 - Semi Annual CMS meeting in addition to the Contractor Safety Forum, and weekly safety communication emails. Type 4 - Three CMS meetings in addition to the Contractor Safety Forum, and weekly safety communication emails. The CMS meeting agenda may include items such as: Review of identified issues with contractors compliance to job specification Post-incident A&D testing results and A&D compliance issues and pre-access testing September 2014 Page 44 P&D 02.07 CMS Meetings PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 07: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Management System (CMS) Meetings Compliance to Behavioural Based Safety Initiatives Progress with Risk Mitigation Plan gaps and review of any required changes to RMP Progress with Contractor Supervisor Screening gaps and review of any required changes to plans Review and follow-up of contractor incidents and performance rates including LTIR, TRIR, Review of learnings from other company / industry incidents Development and monitoring of plans to resolve contract non-conformances identified by P&D's field and maintenance personnel Development and monitoring of plans to resolve interface and commercial issues between the contractor and the company Identification evaluation and implementation status of continuous improvement initiatives that mutually benefit the contractor and the company The CSA will issue minutes of the meetings with contractors as well as updated RMP’s. The CSA will attempt to conduct some of the CMS meeting on site with contractor management. Any time the CSA is on site they will conduct a LMRA effectiveness check on a contractor worker. The effectiveness check will provide feedback to the contractor on the health of their LMRA program and determine if additional training or motivation for implementation of the program is required. Annual Safety Forum Regionally, P&D will hold an annual safety forum with its major contractors to focus on safety. The meeting shall be held early in the year in order to reinforce the safety program for the working season ahead. It is expected that contractors will have representation at one of the regional sessions. Representation should be at the owner or management level. In addition field supervisors are encouraged to attend. Subjects to be covered shall include but are not limited to the following: Incident, near miss/hazard identification statistics and any identified corrective actions Safety assessment results and improvement areas IOL and P&D year objectives and priorities Contractors and P&D performance in terms of defined expectations Improvements to the safety program Safety discussions, open forum, and contractor current interests. September 2014 Page 45 P&D 02.07 CMS Meetings PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 02: SUBJECT 07: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Introduction Contractor Management System (CMS) Meetings The annual safety meeting is also the main forum to exchange safety experiences and initiatives between contractors.

The use of this safety information assists in the increased awareness of workers and therefore prevention of incidents. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS None PROCEDURE The CSA will issue safety communications to contractors included in the CMS program. The suggested frequency of the safety communications is weekly. The safety communication may be in various formats. Safety Alerts, Incidents learnings, LPO learnings from P&D or obtained from the safety resources. Contractors are expected to review the safety communications with their staff and frequently used subcontractors if applicable.

Stewardship is required for each element of Behaviour Based Safety to ensure that the necessary activities are taking place. It also includes gathering of other important information required for focused improvement of contractor programs. PROCEDURE The benefits of a BBS program are maximized when the learnings of LMRA verifications, LMRA effectiveness tests and PJO's are analyzed to obtain learnings and trends. It is expected that contractors will review all PJO's (Appendix 13), LMRA effectiveness tests (Appendix 28) and the number of JSA Quality Evaluation Tool (Appendix 3) reviews completed along with their average score, to determine any adverse trends and improvement opportunities. The contractor will also provide: a summary of the current quarter observations, at risk behaviours, status on planned initiatives, including RMP gap closure status A&D test and Background Screening results number of hours worked for IOL and P&D number of subcontractor hours for IOL and P&D number of incidents and First Aids Contractor BBS stewardship is to be provided by the contractor to the P&D CSA by the 15th of the month following the end of the quarter. It is submitted via this internet link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s_pass.aspx?sm=Gwlw5WPtvcxG%2bTwNqIf7Aw%3d%3d NOTE: A logon ID is NOT required but a password is. The current password which you can copy and paste into the logon, is: pdstewardship Upon completion of the form, a copy can be printed should the contractor wish to have one.

A BBS program augments the existing contractor safety program through the addition of Behaviour Based Safety tools. Establishing a more aggressive "Nobody Gets Hurt" approach to safety management Better engage all personnel (both IOL and contractor) in the pursuit of safety excellence Advancing Behaviour Based Safety to make a pronounced improvement in awareness, risk mitigation and safety performance ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS JSA Instruction Guide (Appendix 11) PROCEDURES Three BBS tools are integrated into the P & D contractor safety program to increase risk awareness, assessment and mitigation: Last Minute Risk Assessment which is a "Stop and Think" process for routine activities. Job Safety Analysis which identifies risk and appropriate mitigation for daily work. Planned Job Observation which identifies safe and/or at risk behaviour of workers. Two tools are used to assess LMRA quality: Last Minute Risk Assessment Verification: a process to encourage the habit of conducting LMRA's. Verifications are verbal but should be documented on Appedix #12, or similar form, to demonstrate they are being conducted. Last Minute Risk Assessment Effectiveness Check: a documented process (Appendix #28) for Contractor Management and IOL to evaluate the effectiveness of contractor's LMRA program. One tool is used to assess JSA quality: JSA Quality Evaluation Tool (Appendix 3): a documented process producing a quantitative result for a JSA review. In the following subjects, each BBS tool will be expanded upon to describe the tool, when, how and by whom it is to be used.

PROCEDURE Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) The LMRA is a mental process executed by each individual worker to prompt risk mitigation. It can also be performed by a team just before working collectively on a task. The LMRA tool is based on the principle of employees taking responsibility for their own safety in all daily work activities and taking the necessary time to: ASSESS the risk, ANALYZE how to reduce the risk, ACT to ensure safe operations! The LMRA should take into consideration what could go wrong with: The physical and mental preparedness & fitness for duty of the personnel involved, risk to self or others, changes that could occur resulting in new risk, environmental conditions, proper tools and equipment for the job, body position, procedures or JSA, communications. Use of a last minute risk assessment tool or Stop and Think, is required before and during the execution of every routine task. Last minute risk assessment consists of taking a minute to stop and think, in advance of launching into the work activity, and deliberately identify and mitigate the identified risks associated with the task. It is an undocumented, mental process. It is being mentally aware of the situation the worker is in at that specific moment. A Stop and Think card is provided in Appendix #9 for reference. September 2014 Page 52 P&D 03.03 Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 03: SUBJECT 03: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) LMRA Verification The effective use of LMRA's is tested verbally through the practice of LMRA verifications. The tester safely interrupts the work in progress and samples the worker(s) awareness of the scope of work being executed, the risks associated with the work and how those risks were being mitigated through an open-ended discussion with the worker(s). The interested party must execute this task using an "ask, listen, learn" approach to ensure that the worker has an opportunity to demonstrate the quality of his/her LMRA skills. In a proper LMRA verification, the tester should be assessing the following areas: 1. The worker is in the habit of conducting LMRAs. 2. The worker understands his/her task 3. The worker has identified the risks to themselves and others 4. The worker has sufficiently mitigated the risks through his/her actions 5. The worker has a positive attitude to site safety and risk management Contractor supervisors will perform LMRA verifications at a frequency of one per day and provide a list of workers verified available for review by the owner. A sample LMRA Verification Record is in Appendix 12. LMRA verification by telephone in the case of a remote work location is acceptable. However, a face to face test is strongly preferred. LMRA Effectiveness Check A third party, generally uninvolved with the task, does LMRA Effectiveness Checks. Typically, a manager or another interested party. Contractor Management and Safety Advisors are encouraged to utilize Appendix 28 to conduct LMRA Effectiveness checks on their LMRA program. P&D representatives will evaluate the effectiveness of the contractors LMRA program by conducting an LMRA Effectiveness Check (Appendix 28). The Effectiveness Check should not only test a specific worker on use of LMRA's but allow the tester to understand the effectiveness of the contractor's LMRA program on site and commitment from the worker's supervisor. The following questions can be used to guide a tester's check: How many LMRA's have you done today? Tell me about a specific LMRA? Has your supervisor asked you or any of your co-workers about LMRA's within the past day? Describe to me the task you are completing?

A JSA is a documented process executed by a worker or a team, to prompt safety awareness and mitigate risk just prior to execution of all contractor tasks. PROCEDURES Use a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) form (Appendix 10) before work execution in order to mitigate risk. Generally, a JSA should be developed for each Work Permit, but if a Work Permit includes more than 1 task, a JSA is required for each task. The JSA Instruction Guide (Appendix 11) can be used as a reference. The value of the JSA lies in the quality and thoroughness of the discussion amongst the work crew. A JSA is to be developed by all members of the work crew and approved by a supervisor if a reference JSA built by a team of experts is not available. A reference JSA is preferred, as it will contain insights to hazards that an inexperienced crew may not be aware of, but it must be upgraded every use to include additional hazards specific to the current location. A work stoppage and review of the JSA is driven by a change in any one of the following parameters/conditions: site, activity, work scope, time, environment or crew. A change in one of these requires an immediate review prior to work proceeding and the JSA tailored to meet the new parameter/condition. If the task involves a critical procedure work permit then a JSA is required. However, any additional checklist/procedures for hazard control shall be reviewed and attached to the JSA rather than repeating in the JSA (refer to section 04-02 for more details and the JSA Instruction Guide (Appendix 11). Where work is carried over into another day, the JSA must be reviewed, updated and re-signed. Consideration should be given to any changes in site conditions, scope, and personnel. If the task for which the JSA is being completed contains any of the critical procedures noted on the Daily Work Permit then that critical procedure must be incorporated in a JSA. The site/task/crew/equipment/time specific JSA should consider: Specific hazard identification September 2014 Page 55 P&D 03.04 Job Safety Analysis (JSA) PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 03: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Sequence of events or steps required to complete the job List of other potential hazards associated with the task Work conditions Work coordination Changes that could result in new risk Proposed tools and equipment to be used Personal Protective Equipment required Safety controls required to mitigate hazards Critical procedures/T1BP’s as required Contractor supervisor reviews JSA for accuracy to ensure hazards are addressed and all workers understand and can follow steps. Space for signatures of person(s) responsible for preparing the JSA, all workers involved in the task and the site supervisor's approval Person responsible for specific tasks An effective JSA must outline mitigating steps that are clearly defined and actionable. Examples of effective mitigating controls: Is clearly understood by the crew not just responsible worker Provides protection for all workers for probable exposure Prescriptive enough to lower risk to acceptable level identify what is required identify when it is required identify where it is required identify who is required Practical to implement and appropriate to risk Workers buy into hazard identification process and implement mitigation during work execution Examples of ineffective mitigating controls: Does not provide a clear or specific instruction or method for action Leaves instruction open for interpretation Lacks assigned responsibility for execution Does not sufficiently lower risk, residual risk is too high Does not address safety of others in the work area Lack of compliance to execution of mitigation is not corrected by peers, supervisor or management JSA Quality Evaluation Reviews Management will review JSAs regularly for quality and provide coaching as required. Quality can be assessed using Appendix 3 - JSA Quality Evaluation Tool or a similar September 2014 Page 56 P&D 03.04 Job Safety Analysis (JSA) PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 03: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) Job Safety Analysis (JSA) form producing documented results. Contract management and workers, both office and field, should perform reviews within the expected frequency documented in CSP 03-02. Providing frequent reviews will improve the quality of field JSA's. Submit the total number completed with the results averaged, quarterly, to the P&D CSA. The Quality Evaluation check involves approaching a worker crew in the field and assessing the degree of risk identification and management using the guide in Appendix 3. Feedback to the work crew should be immediate and include commending for positive behaviors, actions and coaching for areas requiring improvement.

A PJO is a disciplined, documented observation of a work task. This observation may be done against a formal procedure or it may be an observation of routine work. The observation is focused on the behaviours of the individual performing the task to identify at-risk and safe behaviours. PROCEDURE Contractor management and supervisors use the Planned Job Observations form (Appendix #13) on activities for which there are documented procedures, a JSA in place, or where random observation is done to evaluate the safety practices being employed in routine tasks. In all cases, the observer(s) and the observed are to compare notes in a proactive safety conversation to permit both parties an opportunity to better understand and conclude on the safest approach to do the task. This discussion is to take place the same day as the observation and preferably, as soon as practical. If procedures or JSAs are in place, then they are to be compared against the actions observed to ensure compliance to the JSA. Additionally, observations provide an opportunity to update the JSA or procedures. The observer and supervisor must ensure that the worker being observed while using this tool is not disciplined. It is important to remember that the process is non-punitive. Observations do not find fault. Observations find free learnings that are meant to benefit the entire organization. Unsafe behaviors can cause injury, property or equipment damage, or damage to the environment. It is critical to think of why we conduct work in a manner that could allow an incident to happen, put steps in place to eliminate that behavior, and help others to learn from it as well. Using this approach instead of discipline facilitates learning opportunities to remove the poor working behaviors from work habits. If the worker being observed understands that, they should be willing to participate in order to potentially save a fellow worker from an incident. It is also important that the supervisor, worker and crew understand why the worker observed decided to perform the work using behaviors that put themselves or others “at risk”. To drill down into why a worker used at risk behavior keep asking the worker “why”, usually 4 or 5 times, until you hear the worker say: “I didn’t follow an established procedure or safe working process because: September 2014 Page 58 P&D 03.05 Planned Job Observations (PJO’s) PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 03: SUBJECT 05: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) Planned Job Observations (PJO's) 1. I don’t know the procedure (lack of skill or training); 2. I didn’t have resources that I required to follow it this time; 3. I was being pressured to get it done, or; 4. I have never had an incident when not following this procedure”. Or, the worker may say, if it was not one of the 4 personal factors: 1. “There is no procedure or, I was following the procedure but the procedure is incorrect; 2. There was a procedure change but it was not communicated to me, or; 3. There was a problem with the tool or equipment that I had no control over”. PJOs shall be conducted regularly by the contractor. Frequency of PJO’s is outlined in CSP subject 03.02 Contractors should analyze their PJO’s looking for trends and learnings and review a summary of learnings with their staff. P&D will periodically request copies of PJO's for a quality review and provide feedback to contractor on the quality of PJO's reviewed. Quality reviews by P&D will assess the following: Generally, it is expected that each PJO will have 1 or 2 at risk behaviours (based on typical performance). Are PJO's discerning enough? This judgment can be made based on the reviewer's knowledge of jobsite performance or through analyzing several PJO's received from a contractor supervisor, or other contractor representatives. Both positive and negative feedback was given to the observed as appropriate. Special attention must be paid to try and assess the depth/quality of feedback given. Both positive reinforcement and constructive criticism must be given to reinforce and improve safety performance. Was a probing analysis conducted, and were recommendations made to correct identified deficiencies (e.g. training, changes to managing systems)? Appropriate recommendations for improvements to the contractor's safety program are made for noted deficiencies. Not all deficiencies will drive a need for change to the contractor's safety program.

P&D utilises a BBS program called the Loss Prevention System (LPS). P&D staff and representatives will use a document called a Loss Prevention Observation (LPO) for Job Observations. The LPO process is the same as PJO's, consisting of the observation, determining safe or questionable behaviours, and provides feedback to the observed. The additional step of the LPO process is that you determine why the incorrect behaviour occurred and identify follow-up action to prevent repeat occurrences of that behaviour. A completed LPO will be given to the contractor's site supervisor or sent to the contractor office to review and complete any assigned followup. Contractors will report the number of completed PJO's to the P&D CSA.

LMRA or Stop and Think (done by workers just before routine tasks): Details related to LMRA are located in section 03.03. Risk Tolerance DVD training from the ExxonMobil Center of Excellence is available to all contractors. All workers need to be aware of the 10 factors affecting their tolerance to accepting risk. The DVD is available from P&D Contractor Services Advisors (CSA) Contractors, as part of their staff training, must include training on the above tools so that staff is familiar with these risk mitigation tools. Training is to ensure that workers are capable to identify hazards and apply actionable mitigation. Worker training and orientation All workers involved in jobs on Owner sites are required to be trained as per OH&S regulation depending on project scope. Owner reserves the right to request proof of training. Training for all workers is to include: contractor’s orientation P&D / IOL orientation oil & gas industry specific awareness orientation training (ENFORM, POST or other endorsed by IOL) alcohol & drug awareness training September 2014 Page 62 P&D 04.02 Job Training and Orientation PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 02: Contractor Safety program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Job Training and Orientation short service worker review general safety rules and regulations first aid as required by provincial regulations trade certification as required (e.g. electrician, welder) safe work methods responsibility and accountability for safety use and care of Personal Protective Equipment WHMIS training as per legislation behaviour based Observations Training may also include depending on involvement but may not be limited to: confined space awareness or training as required by province working in competent in the critical procedure/T1PB being performed defensive driving if operating vehicle on P&D time respiratory equipment use and maintenance H2S awareness certificate gas detection certification scaffold erection and dismantling fall protection fire extinguisher use ground disturbance Subcontractor supervisor and worker training/knowledge expectations are the same as for the Contractor. Worker Orientation to the OWNER Contractor Safety Program Workers must understand the fundamentals of the safety program to be able to execute it. This includes an outline of the basic control documents in the program (daily work agreements, incident reports) and the behaviour based safety tools to be employed [LMRA, LMRA testing, JSAs (including critical procedures) and PJOs]. This requires, on either a project or annual basis, that all contractor and subcontractor employees are instructed on the basic elements of the OWNER Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition. A summary of the CSP is contained in the P&D Safety Orientation CD or through the “My Training” tab in Manuals LIVE (upper right hand corner of the home page). The orientation process itself is described in PDM 01-14-01 September 2014 Page 63 P&D 04.02 Job Training and Orientation PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 02: Contractor Safety program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Job Training and Orientation Contractor Site Orientation. Contractors must review the process well in advance of workers arriving on site. Each worker will be provided a copy of the Pipelines & Distribution Orientation booklet by P&D operations (Appendix 24). Project Kick-off Process (see section 04.03) In advance of coming on site, a project kickoff meeting is held that covers: scope of work, skills required, consideration of project risks, schedule the requirements of the project risks including training requirements, JSAs, Critical Procedure/T1BP etc. a review of contractor responsibilities for their subcontractors Worker Site Orientation The on-site orientation reviews the safety philosophy, general site rules, site orientation, emergency response plan, other activity on the site, and the current risks to all on site. Daily Work Permit Process The Work Permit is an important interface document. It coordinates activities and outlines risks that may be present during the performance of the permitted task. It will include a review of critical procedures required for the day’s work and associated JSAs. It is discussed in CSP 04-15. Approved Supervisor Training Prior to supervising any work on a P&D site, contractor supervisors must go through a screening process to become approved. This process can take up to several weeks. A supervisor applying for approval will have the training noted above for workers and must have the training outlined in Section 02-04.

RETURN TO INDEX September 2014 Page 66 P&D 04.03 Site Safety Meetings PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 04: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Safety Assessment PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this subject is to describe the proposed procedures in regards to project safety assessments and observations. PROCEDURES Project Safety Assessment Project Manager or designate occasionally conducts safety assessments of projects in order to evaluate performance against the outlined expectations. The Project Safety Assessment must be utilized when the duration of the field work exceeds 500 person hours and then verify continued performance to the original assessment once per month thereafter. The Contractor is asked to accompany the IOL representative during these assessments and should consider conducting safety assessments on themselves and their subcontractors. The safety overview includes document verifications, worker observations, interviews, and site safety observations on the following subjects: Policies & general requirements Operation integrity Site housekeeping Public safety and security The Project Safety Assessment (Appendix 23) is the tool to be used to conduct the inspection. Any negative responses should be explained and should result in a follow up action. Additional comments for other items can be provided even if a satisfactory response was noted. Deficiencies, actions and timing are to be documented on the summary page. A copy of the completed form is then sent to the contractor and CSA. The contractor should take appropriate action to resolve any identified deficiencies. Notification is to be provided by the contractor once all items have been satisfactorily corrected. The results of the assessments for all contractors are summarized on an annual basis to help identify strengths and weaknesses within the system and to provide focus. The findings are shared with contractors annually and are used for continuous improvement of the contractor's Risk Mitigation Plan (RMP).

PROCEDURES Emergency Response Emergency response procedures shall be established before work begins and followed by contractors working on IOL properties when facing risk of serious injuries or incidents (fire, spills, explosion, etc.). The developed emergency response plan shall consider the best procedures on how to safeguard life, limb, environment and property, in that order. A list of emergency phone numbers and contacts must be available. The plan and contact list shall be posted in a visible location and be used for discussion, initially during the kick-off meeting and occasionally at site safety meetings. A draft emergency contact list plan is available for consideration in CSP Appendix 19. Each contractor is to develop their own plan based on their own individual needs and requirements. A sketch is required that outlines the route to the nearest hospital or medical clinic in order to save time and complication in case of an incident. If contractor has an emergency at an unattended IOL site, initiate emergency response as per plan and obtain response by dialing 911. Initiate reporting criteria to contractor management and IOL operational staff as soon as work site is stable and safe to make notifications. If contractor has an emergency at an attended IOL site stop work, contact operations staff immediately and activate emergency response as per plan. If the site general alarm is sounded: Ensure all workers in the immediate work area evacuate to muster location Report to site staff any of work crew not accounted for at muster point Assist in response only if requested by site personnel If a worker is seriously injured and needs to be transported to the hospital: Assign someone to accompany the injured worker to ensure that their needs are met Ensure communication is maintained to obtain location and status of injured worker Ensure work area is safe, Secure incident scene and preserve scene for investigation team Report incident to IOL contact and Contractor Management immediately and discuss requirements for A&D testing September 2014 Page 84 P&D 04.13 Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 13: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting Incident Reporting and Investigation An Incident can be defined as: An undesired event which resulted in: harm to people; an adverse effect to the environment; loss of property; damage to equipment; or interruption of business. Contractors shall institute appropriate incident management by properly reporting incidents, conducting investigations, implementing corrective and preventive actions and analyzing performance. The objective is to avoid incident repetition and to detect incorrect procedures, attitudes or other problems. Contractor will document on their own form or P&D Incident Report (Link to PDM) and send a copy to local operations staff or PM. Reports will be forwarded to CSAs as appropriate. In all cases, a verbal notification should be provided immediately with the written report submitted within 24 hours. Incidents can be classified by type and severity. Types of incidents are: Personal health and safety that includes fatality, lost time injury, restricted work, medical treatment, first aid, and occupational illness. Environmental that includes spill and leak. Downgrading that includes fire, explosion, vehicle accident, and damage to IOL property (greater than 5 K$). Liability that includes damage to third party property. Inspection reports or orders (including charges) from a government agency such as Ministry of Labour. Complete and accurate information is essential to determine preventive measures, to analyze root or systemic causes and to retain proper record. The supervisor responsible for the work resulting in an incident should conduct the investigation or at a minimum participate with contractor management. P & D reserves the right to participate in the investigation of any incident. The process of an investigation includes the following steps: Describe what happened. Identify the exact sequence of events that led to the incident (timeline). Identify the incident root cause, which corresponds to action, omission, equipment problem or other factor resulting in the incident. A root cause can be defined as “if it had not occurred the incident would have not happened”. By asking why an incident occurred and questioning each answer with another why that event happened, will reveal the actual root cause. Identify other contributing factors that lead to the incident. Review the safety program and its implementation to determine if there are any obvious corrections necessary to address the root cause identified. September 2014 Page 85 P&D 04.13 Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 13: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting Provide workable solutions to prevent recurrence of similar incidents. Review the report with the PM/CSA to ensure completeness of information and followup. When preparing the incident report, contractor should remember to: Be factual, not give opinions or speculate Avoid estimates, guesses, exaggerations, generalisations Avoid language that is inflammatory, judgemental or emotional. Sharing near miss/hazard identification experiences is an excellent way to identify higher risk situations caused either by human attitude, inadequate work procedures or inadequate managing system. Studies suggest that for each reportable incident at least 15 near miss/hazard identifications occur. As such, the greatest learning opportunity to prevent accidents on work sites is related to adequate recognition and notification of near miss/hazard identification. P & D requires that contractors support and promote near miss/hazard information reporting accordingly. Follow-up actions identified to prevent recurrence shall be implemented as soon as possible. A notification shall be sent by the contractor to the PM/CSA to advise that appropriate actions have been taken. The Contractor’s Supervisor must report to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) or Workers Compensation Board (WCB), any accident that meets the provincial requirement. Where an employee fails to report accidents and obtain proper first aid attention in a timely fashion, an employee’s right to compensation may be delayed, especially in cases where the disability does not immediately follow the accident. Injury Case Management Program Contractors shall have an injury case management system to support workers involved in injuries or potential injuries. An injury case management system should include education for all workers on the distinction between the 3 types of injury classifications, medical treatment, restricted work and lost time. The contractor's case management system should include a notification protocol to both contractor management and client. Contractor supervisors should be trained to manage injuries and potential injuries and equipped with a case management reference package in the field that includes relevant contact information, a description of the contractor's modified work program (refer to next CSP Subject) and if applicable, release waivers signed by all field staff granting permission for treating physicians to discuss injury details with contractor representatives. Incident Classifications: 1) A medical treatment incident is a work-related injury or illness that involves neither lost workdays nor restricted workdays, however requires treatment by a physician or other licensed health care professional (LHCP) that is beyond the level of first aid treatment. Note that observation, counseling or diagnostic procedures are not considered to be treatment. First aid is defined as any of the following treatments: September 2014 Page 86 P&D 04.13 Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 13: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting 1. Use of non-prescription medication at non-prescription strength (further specifics are defined). 2. Tetanus immunization (other immunizations, such as Hepatitis B vaccine or rabies vaccine are medical treatment). 3. Cleaning, flushing or soaking wounds on the surface of skin. 4. Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids, gauge pads, butterfly bandages or Steri-Strips (Other wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, tapes/glues etc. are considered medical treatment). 5. Using hot or cold therapy (e.g. compresses, soaking, whirlpools). 6. Using any non-rigid means of support, such as elastic bandages, wrap non- rigid back belts etc. (devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts of the body are considered medical treatment). 7. Using temporary immobilization devises while transporting a victim (e.g. splints, slings, neck collars, back boards etc.). 8. Drilling of a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or draining fluid blister. 9. Using eye patches. 10. Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab. 11. Removing splinters or foreign material from areas other than the eye by irrigation, tweezers, cotton swabs or other simple means (procedures involving the cutting of the outer layer of skin are considered medical treatment). 12. Using finger guards. 13. Using massages (physical therapy or chiropractic treatment are considered medical treatment). 14. Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress. Note: Preventive use of Oxygen in ABSENCE of symptoms is NOT considered a medical treatment. In addition, certain other conditions upon diagnosis by a physician are considered to be at least medical treatment, even if no specific treatment is rendered. This includes: Medical removal from the work-environment due to exceeding exposure criteria for Lead, Cadmium, Methylene Chloride, Formaldehyde, Benzene Hearing loss beyond specifically defined threshold hearing loss shifts Loss of consciousness A fractured or cracked bone (or teeth) Punctured eardrum. 2) A restricted work incident is a work-related injury which results in an individual being unable to perform all normally assigned work functions during any scheduled work shift; or being assigned to another job on a temporary or permanent basis after the day of the injury or illness. Restricted work activity occurs when the worker, because of the job-related injury, is physically or mentally unable to perform: all or any part of his or her normal assignment during all or any part of the normal workday or shift. The emphasis is on the worker's inability to perform normal job September 2014 Page 87 P&D 04.13 Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 13: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting duties over a normal work shift. "Normally assigned work," means any tasks that the employee performs or is expected to perform as part of their job. all duties or normally assigned work functions at their normal schedule. 3) A lost time incident is any work-related injury, which results in at least one lost workday, after the day of the incident. If a worker's condition resulting from an injury causes him or her to be unable to return to work on any of the individual's scheduled work shifts after the shift on which the incident occurred, the case should be recorded as a "Lost Time Incident". Working at home is not an acceptable alternative unless performing the work at home would be considered "normal and customary". An injury is classified as Lost Time even if the following day is a weekend or the worker takes a vacation day. The intent of classification is to determine whether the worker could have worked the following day if scheduled to do so. Near Miss Reporting Near misses (also termed near losses) can be defined as: An undesired event which, under slightly different circumstances, could have caused, contributed to, or resulted in harm to people, an adverse effect to the environment, loss of property, damage to equipment, or interruption of business. Contractors shall institute appropriate incident management by properly reporting near misses, implementing corrective and preventive actions and analyzing performance. The objective is to avoid incident repetition and to detect potential incorrect procedures, attitudes or other problems. Contractor will document on their own form or P&D Near Loss form, and send a copy to local operations staff or PM. Reports will be forwarded to CSA as appropriate. Hazard Identification (HID) Hazard Identification is an informal process in which workers through either inspections or general site activities, identify potential hazards that if left uncorrected may result in an injury or equipment damage. It typically focuses on facilities and their use and impact on behaviours. At minimum, the items should be physically marked to ensure workers are not injured prior to the final corrective action taking place HID key components are: Identifies the hazard including potential injury or damage Identifies the action required to mitigate the risk both short term and final Identifies who is responsible for the follow-up activities RETURN TO INDEX September 2014 Page 88 P&D 04.13 Emergency Response and Incident/Near Miss/ Hazard ID Reporting PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 14: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Physical Fitness for Duty and Modified Work PURPOSE AND SCOPE It is expected that all contractors will have Fitness for Duty and Modified Work programs. This section describes the minimum expectations of a program. PROCEDURES Physical Fitness for Duty Contractors should evaluate the physical requirements for each job function within their operation (e.g. lifting, climbing, standing requirements). A sample Job Demand Analysis form is available in Appendix 15. Contractor should consider screening, the potential candidate during the hiring process to ensure they are physically able to perform the required tasks without causing injury. A sample Pre-placement Physical Questionnaire can be found in Appendix 21. Contractor must have a process for workers to identify any temporary or long term physical limitations to their supervisor. Supervisor must consider that information when preparing daily work assignments. Modified Work Program A modified work program focuses on rehabilitation-on work abilities as opposed to work limitations. It supports accommodation and an early return to work following injury or illness. By providing focused leadership and coordination in the area of recovery and rehabilitation from disability, program aims to: promote a healthier workforce by reducing the occurrence and impact of disability on employees promote a timely and safe return to work following illness or injury foster a collaborative approach to rehabilitation and accommodation minimize the impact and cost of disabilities to employees and to the company workers may recover from their illness or injury sooner and be able to resume their regular lifestyle sooner The contractor is responsible for managing an employee's absence and return to work, including implementing rehabilitation plans and accommodation with the guidance of health professionals and initiates referrals as medically necessary. September 2014 Page 89 P&D 04.14 Physical Fitness for Duty and Modified Work PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 14: Contractor Safety Program - Pipelines & Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Physical Fitness for Duty and Modified Work Employee Responsibilities If you become ill or are injured and will be away from work, advise your manager on or before the first day of absence and provide full and correct information regarding your illness or injury. If required by the company, undergo examinations or assessments by a health professional selected by the company to assist with rehabilitation, accommodation. Participate in rehabilitation and modified work if available. What is a rehabilitation plan? If a worker requires some accommodation upon returning to work, a rehabilitation plan, may be developed to plan for and manage your eventual return to work. The development of this plan involves the contractor management, and attending physician. It may also be appropriate to consult with other specialists such as physiotherapists, ergonomists, pain management specialists, rehabilitation specialists, occupational therapists and others. Rehabilitation is multifaceted. It includes personal adjustments, health-related and vocational factors. Effective rehabilitation plans are tailored to the individual and address each of these factors. What is modified work? Work that enables the recovering employee to gradually return to work in the company and that ultimately leads to a return to regular employment. Modified work may include the employee’s own job with reduced duties, on a full- or part-time basis. Modified work may also include an unrelated job on a full- or part-time basis. An employee who is receiving extended disability benefits may qualify for a modified program if medically capable. In a typical modified work program: Manager is responsible for managing an employee’s absence and return to work. This includes developing accommodation options, and implementing and facilitating achievement of the objectives of modified work plans and accommodations. The manager also maintains communication with the absent employee, as appropriate Employee is responsible for providing timely information to management regarding his or her absence and any change in ability to do his or her job. An employee absent from work must be available for evaluation or possible return to work, as appropriate. Failure to cooperate in rehabilitation or continue appropriate treatment may result in the termination of disability benefits.

The subject will include some best practices to assist the contractor to execute against the requirements of the A&D program. The Owner's policy around A&D programs and testing is contained in the Contract Job Specification attached to the Contract between the Owner and the contractor. PROCEDURES Documented Program Requirements Contractors shall have a documented A&D program that meets the criteria set out in the contract. The following paragraphs will attempt to clarify the expectations for field staff. However contractor should refer to the A&D program requirements in the contract for the detailed requirements of the contractor A&D program. During hiring process communicate A&D program expectations and testing requirements. This will avoid worker being surprised if testing is required. Have worker sign off on requirements on an annual basis. A random testing program is required for safety sensitive positions. Pre-access testing is required for risk sensitive positions. In Alberta all trades and trade helpers fit into this category. The test does not have to be specifically for IOL, as long as the testing of the worker has been completed in the past 12 months. Reasonable cause testing is required if there is an observation of physical impairment, possession of or use of Alcohol or Drugs or related paraphernalia. Confirm reasonable cause testing preferably with another supervisor or another worker. Action required when a report that a worker smells of alcohol is received by a supervisor: Notify immediate supervisor. Supervisor to investigate with another supervisor or foreman or other worker if another supervisor is not available. Determine if the worker does smell of alcohol and if there is at least one other indicator. e.g. slurring speech, unable to walk properly, abusive or unexplained non-compliance to safety rules or procedures.

If answer is no, advise worker that observation was reported and provide some coaching on potential issues. Post incident testing is required within 4 hours of injury or incident. o Testing is to be conducted even if the 4 hour time frame cannot be met. o Contractor is required to provide a documented reason why, if the 4 hour time frame was not met. o Post Incident testing is required to rule out impairment as a contributing cause to an incident and is required for the following situations: Equipment damage exceeding $5 K Reportable spill depending on size (depends on provincial jurisdiction) Medical Treatment, Restricted Work, or Loss Time injury or potential for injury to become one of these Any significant near miss at IOL's discretion o Post incident testing is not required for first aids o The worker being tested must be kept under direct observation at all times until the test has been administered. Contractor shall have a documented protocol that explains to contractor supervisor exactly how to execute the A&D testing requirements complete with contact names and numbers. This protocol is to be posted in project trailer or kept on site with contractor supervisor. o Contractor should conduct A&D simulations to test understanding of site supervisors to execute testing protocol and test capability of A&D testing vendor to meet the 4 hour time commitment, o When working in remote areas contractor should contact A&D testing vendor and pre-notify of work in area. This will assist in preplanning for collection of sample if required. o If testing requirement is determined as being necessary, have worker accompanied at all times. IOL Attesting of Program IOL PSD will send out an annual Alcohol & Drug Program Reminder letter. An example is shown in Appendix 43 – “Contractor Alcohol & Drug PSD Annual Letter – Example” P&D will request an annual Appendix 44 - “Contractor A&D Compliance Representation” form to be completed by select contractors whose personnel are working in IOL/ExxonMobil categorized Comparable-to-Designated and/or Safety-Sensitive and/or Risk Sensitive positions.

P&D will be conducting in-office visits on one or more contractors that are a subset to those sent the compliance representation letter, to verify that workers requiring program testing are being tested. Appendix 45 – Contractor Alcohol & Drug Program Assessment Tool, or a similar tool, or a third party hired by IOL, will be utilized to document the assessment. IOL Background Screening IOL/contractor safety advisors (CSA’s) will conduct background/security screening attests for security sensitive positions (not to be confused with safety sensitive positions). CSA’s will contact a selection of IOL terminal managers/personnel as well as IOL personnel from the projects group, to provide selection of contractors to be attested. Yearly the CSA’s to contact selected contractors and confirm required background/security screening has been completed on individuals by the contractor.

This document covers minimum training requirements for individuals who perform gas detection while working for P&D and also minimum requirements when using gas detection equipment at P&D facilities. REFERENCE PDM 01-04-10: Safety: Work Permits (Link to PDM) PDM 03-23-03: Safety & Environmental - Personal Safety: Air Testing and Monitoring PDM 01-04-20: Safety: Area Classification Drawings ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS P&D Gas Testing Log (0302F09) DEFINITIONS Bump Test A bump test is defined as a brief exposure of the gas detector to a concentration of gas (es) in excess of the lowest alarm set-point for each sensor for the purpose of verifying sensors and alarm operation. It is not intended to be a measure of the accuracy of the instrument. The test gas is only applied long enough to check the alarms and the sensor heads are responding. Calibration Calibration is performed using a certified concentration(s) of calibration gas(es) to ensure maximum accuracy. Competent Gas Tester A competent gas tester has documentation to show that they: September 2014 Page 96 P&D 04.18 Standards for Contractor Gas Testing PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Standards for Contractor Gas Testing TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 18: 1) have completed appropriate gas detection training, 2) have completed training on the particular device they are operating and, 3) understand the requirements of the Safe Work Permit. ESD Emergency Shutdown Function Test A function test is defined as an exposure of the gas detector to a concentration of gas(es) to check sensor and alarm operation and the accuracy of the sensors against the calibration gas. This takes longer than a bump test as the sensors are allowed to stabilize before taking the readings. Non-Electronic Sensor Equipment Equipment that does not have electronic sensors and does not have audible or visual alarms. This includes equipment such as detector tubes, etc. LEL Lower Explosive Limit Zero (Fresh Air) Calibration This determines the zero point of the sensor calibration. This test uses bottle "fresh air" or clean ambient air. PROCEDURE General Requirements Only a competent gas tester is qualified to perform gas testing. Gas detectors must be calibrated: o At a frequency more often than or equal to manufacturer’s specifications but in no case longer than one month and, September 2014 Page 97 P&D 04.18 Standards for Contractor Gas Testing PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 18: Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Standards for Contractor Gas Testing o Upon failure of a bump or function test o Using the correct test gas for work on Owner sites: Gasoline vapor LEL will not be read properly by a detector calibrated with an incorrect test gas. Calibration gases used for checking the LEL testing equipment must be Hexane or Pentane. Alternatively, a “pentane equivalent” using methane calibration gas with concentration levels equivalent to pentane can be used where specified by the manufacturer. Refer to manufacturer instructions for selection of one of these calibration gases and how to change settings, if required. Follow manufacturer instructions for the selection and use of all other calibration gases required. H2S detectors cannot be used for LEL detection and vice versa. Gas detectors must be inspected and bump tested daily when in use. Gas detectors are to be zeroed in a fresh air environment prior to each use. Personal monitors, e.g., H2S monitor, must be bump tested at least once per month. Minimum Gas Testing Equipment Set Points Contractors must be aware that P&D may have more stringent gas testing set points than provincial regulations call for. Link to PDM 03-23-03 Air Testing & Monitoring for the current set points for portable gas-detection equipment used on P&D work sites. Minimum Training Requirements Individuals are qualified to do air quality testing or personal monitoring on specific gas detection equipment if they have received training through either: An industry-recognized gas testing course or, Internal training on gas detection principles and, follow-up refresher training every 5 years. Internal training where a specific course is not available must cover the following areas: Understanding characteristics of hydrocarbons, toxic gases including explosive mixtures, terminology such as Lower Explosive and Upper Explosive Limits, Occupational Exposure Limits, etc.; September 2014 Page 98 P&D 04.18 Standards for Contractor Gas Testing PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Standards for Contractor Gas Testing TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 18: Able to select the appropriate test equipment for the job or type of gas being measured; Understanding operations and limitations of gas detection equipment; Understand and able to perform bump and function testing using calibration gas and must be able to zero the detector; Understanding and be able to determine when the gas detector requires calibration; Understand responsibilities of a gas tester, and; Individuals performing testing on Owner sites should also be familiar with PDM 03-23-03 – Air Testing and Monitoring. Competent Gas Tester A Contractor deems the competency of their worker(s) who perform gas testing and must be able to demonstrate the worker has been trained and deemed competent. Where gas or air-quality tests are required for a Work Permit, a competent gas tester will include the type of test, frequency, time and result of each test on the Safe Work Agreement. Further test results must be kept on a form similar to the P&D Gas Testing Log 0302F09 P&D Gas Testing Log (0302F09). A competent gas tester must be able to perform gas tests when: Oxygen content might be less than 19.5 % (percent) or more than 23%; Work involves an ignition source in a classified area; Toxic gases or materials might be present; and/or, Work involves entering a confined space. Competent gas testers must effectively monitor air quality for all gases and toxic materials to lower risk during critical work. Effective monitoring includes making sure that the air quality remains the same during the job as when the initial gas test was done. Continuous Sampling Detectors Continuous sampling detectors draw a sample into the detector and are most useful for the following work: Pipeline maintenance work (e.g. checking open piping for LEL's, working with excavations where there is suspected hydrocarbons); Confined space entry work (e.g. an excavation with hydrocarbons present); Checking out an area prior to utilizing potential ignition sources that are not controllable (e.g. arcs and sparks while welding in a classified area).

They will not detect gas vapours that are not in the area that is being tested. Monitors are acceptable for the following uses: Personal monitoring for oxygen, LEL's, H2S and CO2 toxic gases, Ambient air monitoring, After an area has been checked with a continuous sample draw detector, During critical work that requires continuous gas monitoring, Monitoring for gas while utilizing a non-explosive proof device (e.g. camera, cell phone) in a classified area where the ignition source is controllable. RETURN TO INDEX September 2014 Page 100 P&D 04.18 Standards for Contractor Gas Testing PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 19: Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Short Service Workers PURPOSE AND SCOPE The proper identification and management of: new or inexperienced workers, new-to-task workers, new-to-site workers; is a key component of an effective contractor safety management program. Two of the most important factors in preventing new worker injuries are training and supervision. The purpose of this document is to outline minimum program requirements for Short Service Workers (SSWs). The visibility of SSWs in the field is an important element of the procedure. Other workers must be able to easily recognize SSWs and provide quality support and guidance. Contractors must have a program in place that meets the intent of this Work Safety Procedure. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS App 35: SSW Day 1 Checklist template (Part A) App 36: SSW Graduation Checklists template (Part B, C & D) DEFINITIONS Short Service Worker (SSW): A worker who meets the following requirements must enter the Short Service Worker program: less than 6 months of relevant work experience; is not competent in the tasks they have been hired to perform; has not worked on Imperial Oil operations/field site within the past 24 months. A worker is no longer a SSW when they have demonstrated to their supervisor their knowledge and skills with regards to safe working practices, the tasks they have been hired to perform and personal, task and site hazards. September 2014 Page 101 P&D 04.18 Short Service Workers PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 19: Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Short Service Workers The SSW has up to 6 months to achieve competency in all the areas. The SSW program does not apply to accompanied personnel that are observing only, or to low risk (Level 4) classified work, such as clerical, delivery, engineering support, office equipment repair, technical consultants. Mentor/Coach: A designated person(s) who is responsible and accountable for guiding and monitoring the performance of the SSW in the field. The Mentor/Coach: is an employee of the Contractor company for which the SSW is working unless documented otherwise at the work-site, is a member of the same working team and providing direct supervision, can be the SSWs Supervisor or Foreperson but does not have to be, has demonstrated knowledge and skills with regard to site and task related hazards, hazard management, and safe working practices and is able to communicate with the SSW, demonstrates Safety Leadership skills at all times, receives appropriate training and is approved for the role by their management. Direct Supervision: As defined by Alberta law, direct supervision means that a competent worker: is personally and visually supervising the worker who is not competent and, is able to communicate readily and clearly with the worker who is not competent. Competent Worker: Contractors must have a means to document that their supervisors, mentors and workers are competent. Competency as defined by Ontario & Alberta law: COMPETENT PERSON means a person who is qualified because of knowledge, training and experience to organize the work and its performance; is familiar with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the regulations that apply to the work; and has knowledge of any potential or actual danger to health or safety in the workplace. September 2014 Page 102 P&D 04.18 Short Service Workers PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 19: Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Short Service Workers COMPETENT WORKER in relation to specific work, means a worker who is qualified because of knowledge, training and experience to perform the work; is familiar with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and with the provisions of the regulations that apply to the work; and has knowledge of all potential or actual danger to health and safety in the work. Skilled trades may have slightly different or additional requirements that may need to be addressed (4 years of apprenticeship). IDENTIFYING SHORT SERVICE WORKERS SSWs must be identifiable in the field by clear visual means. P&D recommends the use of the color green in the form of a hard hat, an armband, or a hard hat sticker. BASE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF SSW SSW programs are intended to assist young and/or new workers in a manner similar to apprenticeship programs. SSWs cannot work without direct supervision until: they are competent to do the work they have been assigned, and they have the site-specific safety training and safety tools required to ensure they are able to recognize hazards to themselves and others. ROLE OF CONTRACTOR COMPANY Contractors are responsible for their workers by ensuring their competency and safety. The Contractor must have a documented means of evaluating SSWs' comprehension of both aspects. While working for the Owner the Contractor shall have a Short Service Worker (SSW) program that addresses management of their SSWs consistent with the information in the Associated Document templates listed. The intent of the program is that: The Supervisor of the SSW shall be responsible for each SSWs competency, safety behaviour, and performance. The Contractor shall provide appropriately trained Mentor/Coach personnel to guide the SSWs safety behaviour throughout the work shift. They shall be responsible for a maximum number of SSWs depending on the potential hazards and nature of the task, for example: Some civil work, such as hand-digging a ditch, may have one Mentor/Coach for 10 SSWs, For some higher risk trade tasks it may not be appropriate to have any SSWs, September 2014 Page 103 P&D 04.18 Short Service Workers PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Short Service Workers TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 19: Major projects will typically have higher numbers of SSWs. Extra resources and activities may be needed to provide adequate supervision, coaching, and counselling. These considerations shall be included in the project safety plan. A list of SSWs shall be maintained by the contractor. Program entry date, assigned mentor, training plans, Graduation criteria and Supervisor sign-off shall be clear and documented. The Contractor shall limit the number of SSWs on site as much as practical: Special measures shall be implemented by the Contractor company and endorsed by the Owner when the ratio of SSWs exceeds 50% of the workforce. Examples of such special measures may include: o Documented SSW risk mitigation plan; o Deploying extra trained resources (both Contractor and/or Imperial Oil) to provide the degree of supervision required; o Providing more comprehensive orientation/training for a "core group" of Contractor personnel. This "core group" can be graduated in a timely manner prior to the mobilization of the workforce on the site; o Intensive interaction with SSWs, such as through frequent safety observations and interventions. ROLE OF OWNER BUSINESS UNIT AND SITE MANAGEMENT Project Managers and Site Managers (or designates): Consider special measures to guide contractors without SSW programs or with a short presence on site, such as providing full time supervision or an approved General Service Provider supervisor. Verify that contractor's work planning and scheduling process includes: A Mentor/Coach for each SSW and in a ratio that makes sense for the work, If the crew ratio is more than 50% SSWs, endorse the contractors SSW risk mitigation plan: o Managers will gain a better grasp of the situation by asking to review the contractors graduation requirement checklist for each SSW. This will help them to be better able to put a proper SSW RMP solution in place; o Managers discovering work crews in the field that do not have the proper ratio and accompanying SSW RMP in place, should: stop the work notify the contractor request a Near Loss Investigation for first time infraction (nonconformance for further infractions) and forward for September 2014 Page 104 P&D 04.18 Short Service Workers PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED TITLE SECTION 04: SUBJECT 19: Contractor Safety Program – Pipelines and Distribution Edition Work Control Procedures Short Service Workers IMPACT entry. The solutions should reflect what must be done to continue the work. Provide an occasional spot check/review of SSWs working on site. Managers can use the above Associated Document: SSW Day 1 Checklist as a guide to what kind of questions should be asked of SSW's. It is not an expectation that the checklist is completed, just used for reference. Contractors must use the Associated Documents or similar to document their worker requirements. Provide an occasional spot check/review of graduated SSWs, that they understand and can discuss the requirements listed in the SSW Graduation Checklists (same as above: use the checklist as a guide, it is not required as site documentation). Request contractor remove a worker that does not have appropriate SSW training documentation or is not meeting safe working intentions; request a Near Loss Investigation for first time infraction; forward for IMPACT entry. The BU / CSA shall: Utilize Contractor Management System meeting processes and associated scorecard/stewardship tools to monitor and steward performance in the field, with particular focus on: Endorsing Contractor companies' Short Service Worker (SSW) program and plans, Contractor SSW program documentation. SPECIAL SITUATIONS/WAIVERS/DEVIATIONS Temporary waivers from the elements in this SSW practice can be granted by Imperial Oil BU/Site management if compensating measures are taken such that SSW risks are appropriately managed. This includes when Short Term Contractors, are on site for short durations such that the SSW program cannot be fully implemented. Plans to permanently deviate from the elements in this practice require approval of the IOL Pipelines and Distribution Manager.
