Line of Fire – Injury Reduction Program
Program Overview
What is Line of Fire?
You are in the Line of Fire when you are at risk of coming into contact with a force
your body cannot endure.
Industry Standards break Line of Fire into three mechanisms of injury:
Stored Energy:
Contact with stored energy
Striking Hazards:
Struck by or striking against an object
Includes falling objects
Crushing Hazards:
Caught in, on or between an object

Where are we now with enterprise-wide safety campaigns?
Get a Grip on Safety: Mid September- Mid March
In 2013, (Sept-Dec) Get a Grip:
• Sent 18 less people to hospital
• Reduced the cost incurred by recordable
incidents by roughly $800,000
• Introduced enterprise-wide campaigns
• Focused on home, office and site
related slips, trips and falls
• A 5 year plan for enterprise-wide safety
campaigns is currently being created
3
Where are we now with Line of Fire?
• LOF hazards, and the opportunity to correct them are often overlooked
• People often unknowingly put themselves in the Line of Fire
• Line of Fire related injuries are common and can lead to serious injury
• There was no consistent approach to Line of Fire reduction at Suncor
• Line of Fire is aligned with the Life Saving Rules
• Line of Fire hazards exist year round (no seasonal trend like Get a Grip)
• Some previous Line of Fire initiatives include;
• Major Projects and Oil Sands: Some Line of Fire work has been done
• In Situ: 4 Pink
• Turn Around: Drop Zone - the other “Get a Grip”
• R&M has started introducing Line of Fire into its workforces
Creating a enterprise-wide injury reduction campaign for Line of Fire is a large opportunity
