PIONEER INSULATIONS
CORPORATE HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION POLICY
It is the policy of PIONEERINSULATION that while its operation are carried out the legal, moral and humanitarian responsibilities are recognized towards men and environment.
However, excellent safety and health conditions do not occur by chance. They are the result of diligent work and careful attention to all policies by everyone in PIONEER INSULATION
Our safety and health program has been developed to assure PIONEER INSULATION complies with any occupational safety and health rules and regulations that apply to any states where we operate. We have made this policy suitable for our projects based on considering the OSHA GUIDELINES (appendix 1 provided on OSHA)
Safety demands cooperation on everyone's part. Thus, it is important that communication be kept open at all times between management and employees. Workers who notice hazards or other safety problems, or feel that they need additional training, must notify their supervisor/ superintendent. Supervisors and management must address these concerns and take corrective action when warranted.
Everyone is obligated to be knowledgeable of the standards applicable to their area or job, and just as important, to abide by them.
Supervisors/superintendents must in still a positive attitude and safety awareness in their subordinates through personal adherence, contact, training, and regular safety meetings. It is the duty of all PIONEER INSULATIONS employees to perform their work with maximum regard for safety of themselves and others.
Our safety policies are based on past experience and current standards, and are also an integral part of PIONEERINSULATIONS personnel policies. This means that compliance with the policies is a condition of employment and must be taken seriously. Failure to comply is sufficient grounds for disciplinary action and/or termination of employment.
Safety and health are every bit as important in this organization as productivity and quality. In fact ,they go hand in hand .Of course the best reason for you to observe these policies is because it's in your own self-interest to do so. Following them can help you stay safe, healthy, and able to work, play, and enjoy life to its fullest.
For PIONEER INSULATIONS
Authorised Signatory
HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES:
1. Minimize health and safety risks by providing safe and healthful work environments, preventing unsafe acts and controlling exposures to health and safety hazards in the workplace.
2. Safety Director has to be knowledgeable and trained on OSHA standards.
3. Provide and assure that appropriate health and safety programs exist and are in place.

8. Report any injury resulting in loss of consciousness, loss of time, or the inability to perform the duties of your regular job to your foreman or superintendent and, together fill out the Supervisor's Incident/Injury Report form. Each accident is defined as recordable must be reported on the Supervisor's Incident/Accident Report Immediately
ZERO INCIDENT CULTURE:
All subsidiaries take the necessary steps to establish and maintain a Zero Incident culture that encourages safe behavior and creates work environments that prevent personal injury and property damage. Further, we comply with government legislation and minimize the impact of company operations on the environment.
Corporate and subsidiary management will actively lead program participation by regularly inspecting and auditing operations to monitor the effectiveness of safety, environmental, and loss management systems, to ensure active involvement of employees and contractors, and to reinforce our Zero Incident objectives.
Employees and contractors are accountable for performing their daily tasks with due regard for their own health and safety and stewardship of the environment. Training and instruction is provided to enable all employees to fulfill their program responsibilities. Management ensures that the necessary resources and procedures are in place to achieve these objectives. All levels of management and all employees are responsible and will be held accountable for completing work without incident or accident and for supporting the success of the mutually beneficial program.
SAFETY DISCIPLINE:
The Safety Coordinator shall have the ultimate authority in ensuring discipline in matters related to safe operations of the company.
The Management and Site Engineer, who is directly responsible for safety at site, shall be guided by the following guidelines in taking disciplinary actions against persons failing to observe the rules laid down in the company safety document.
First Offence - Verbal warning
Second Offence - 1st written warning
Third Offence - 2nd written warning and suspension as deemed fit.
Fourth Offence - Dismissal

Restricted Articles:
It is a growing problem in our society. Substance misuse has a huge impact on business in both financial and legal terms.
Alcohol and other drug related problems can occur in any workplace. Estimates of the cost of injuries, absenteeism, lost production, workers compensation and rehabilitation services, arising from the misuse of alcohol and other drugs in the workplace vary in the current research data available.
The abuse of alcohol and other drugs may damage physical and mental health.
The impairment of behavior can cause affected employees to injure themselves or others. Workmates are often placed in the uncomfortable position of feeling obligated to cover for poor work performance, or 'to dob' in a mate for their own good. Employers may be faced with lateness, inefficiency and absenteeism, lost time and production from dangerous incidents and damage to plant, equipment and other property. Many factors have been put forward as possibly contributing to the misuse of alcohol and other drugs including:
Grief
Harassment, bullying or victimization
Family and relationship problems
Long and/or irregular working hours
Interpersonal conflict • tight deadlines and unrealistic performance targets
Health concerns
High risk of personal injury or illness at work
Gambling
Discrimination or prejudice
Financial problems
Corporate entertaining
Loss of control and lack of participation in any decision making process
Poor job design or hazardous work processes
History of substance abuse
Some indicators that can suggest the presence of alcohol and other drug misuse include:
5
near miss' incidents
Violence
Habitual lateness
Frequent absences
Neglect of personal grooming
Interpersonal problems
Employee experiencing poor coordination, poor concentration and/or visual disturbance
PERSONEL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
The company shall provide all personnel with appropriate protective clothing and equipment suited to the hazards or environment to which he may be exposed.
It shall be the responsibility of the site engineer to ensure that this protective clothing equipment is used by all the employees working at site.

3. Approved eye protection, such as safety glasses, face shields, burning goggles, welding helmets, chemical goggles, will be provided and is required on all activities where the potential of any eye injury exists.
HEAD PROTECTION:
Helmets are to be worn correctly, at all times/until the ceilings throughout the building are completely finished and all overhead (our standard helmets appendix 3) hazards where the possibility of damage to the head from impact of falling objects no longer exist. The only exception to wearing the Helmets correctly is surveyors, structural steel erectors, equipment operators and welders.
HEARING PROTECTION:
All employees required to work in an area where the noise is above the acceptable sound levels will be issued and required to wear hearing protection.
Since conditions are changing constantly in the area where you work, an easy rule of thumb to follow for the use of hearing protection is:"IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE THREE TOFIVE FEET AWAY FROM YOU, BECAUSEOFTHE SURROUNDING NOISE, YOUARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN HEARINGPROTECTION."
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
If work requiring respiratory protection is performed the following guidelines will be followed: In an oxygen deficient environment (less than 19.5% oxygen) a self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) will be used.

Process of fire risksThe Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets out on construction site general fire safety, including means of escape.
The CDM Regulations 2007 also impose duties including the requirement to prevent risk from fire. The fire risk from site activities must be assessed and precautions taken to control:
Combustible material - the quantity of combustible materials on site should be kept to theminimum and all such materials safely stored and used.
Ignition sources - action is needed to eliminate, reduce and control ignition sources on site.Construction of timber frame buildings will require significant additional measures to those outlined here. You should refer to the specific guidance listed in Resources, below.
Each year there are a number of serious fires on construction sites and buildings undergoing refurbishment. Many could be avoided by careful planning and control of work activities.
Any outbreak of fire threatens the safety of those on site and will be costly in damage and delay. It can also be a hazard to people in surrounding properties.
Fire can be a particular hazard in refurbishment work when there is a lot of dry timber arid at the later stages of building jobs where flammable materials such as adhesives, insulating materials and soft furnishings are present
Combustible material
Many solids, liquids and gases can catch fire and burn. It only takes a source of ignition, which may be a small flame or an electrical spark, together with air. Preventive actions that can be taken include:
Quantity: fire risk can be reduced by controlling the amount of combustible material in the work area until it is needed;
Flammability: it may be possible to specify materials that are less combustible. Remember that when worked on, materials may become more easily ignited e.g. solids turned to dust or crumb;
Storage: combustible materials should ideally be stored outside buildings under construction, especially volatile materials e.g. LPG. Internal storage must be planned and located where it will not put workers at risk;
Volatile flammable materials: extra precautions are needed for flammable liquids, gases and oxygen cylinders especially when internally stored;
Coverings and sheeting: protective coverings and scaffold sheeting may add to fire risk. This can be reduced by use of flame retardant materials;
LPG: liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is widely used in construction e.g. in connection with bitumen boilers and site accommodation. LPG has been involved in many serious fires and explosions, particularly where there have been leaks in confined areas. Strict precautions are required where LPG is stored and used; and
Tanks and services: demolition projects can involve an increased risk of fire and explosion. Dismantling of tank structures may cause ignition of flammable residues or disruption and ignition of buried gas services.
MEDICAL SERVICES AND FIRST AID:
1. When a medical facility is not reasonably accessible, a person trained to render first aid shall be available on the project.
2. First aid supplies shall be readily available and stored in either or both, the tool and office trailer(s).
3. All emergency telephone numbers shall be conspicuously posted^ near the phqne (i", ambulance, doctor, fire department, paramedics, etc.)(always checic with the safety officer of particular site for the details)
4. Payment Procedures for First Aid F|ecordable and Loss Time Casesa. This procedure is designed to help lower the frequency and experience modification rites ofR&O. This policy is effective immediately.
b. When an employee has a job related injury/illness the following is to take place:
i. Every possible effort will be made by the superintendent to treat the injury/illness from the first aid box on the job-site.
ii. If the superintendent and/or the employee feels further treatment is necessary, the employee will be taken to one of PIONEER INSULATION providers. The person who accompanies the injured employee is to instruct the medical provider to send the statement and a copy of the diagnosis directly to PIONEER INSULATIONS safety representative
i. When the injured employee is sent to a medical provider, the superintendent will notify PIONEER INSULATIONS safety representative to explain the type of treatment the injured received.
iv. Once this information has been received, the Safety representative will evaluate the diagnosis to determine, using OSHA guidelines
v. A copy of the injury/illness report will be kept on file in case there are any complications and thi employee needs further treatment.
vi. If complications occur, the injury will be considered a new accident and the claim will be turned over to the worker's compensation carrier.
vii. If an injury is found to be reportable, the claim will automatically be reported to the worker's compensation carrier by the Safety representative
viii. PIONEER INSULATION will not have a loss time accident unless the doctor completely refuses to allow the injured person to return to work.
ix. The light duty will be responsibility of the project on which employee was injured.
x. Even though the medical providers will be informed to send all billings directly to R&O, it is the responsibility of the project to tell the medical providers to send it. If a problem arises, the project is to PIONEER INSULATIONS safety representative for assistance.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
In case of emergency such as a fire, accident or incident, send someone to call it in using the emergency phone number located in the office/trailer while you and/or others take care of the emergency. Remember, take care of the problem first and the paperwork second. When an emergency does arise, let the superintendent and/or foreman know about the emergency so they can contact the safety department and fill out the necessary paperwork.
TOOL BOX SAFETY MEETING:
1. Tool Box Safety Meetings are designed to teach you, demonstrate safe working procedures and discuss unsafe conditions, near misses, and injuries along with the corrective measures to take to prevent recurrences. *
2. Your attendance and participation is required and be sure to sign the signup sheet.

Safety Guide to the Handling of Hot Bitumen Products:
Risk
Bitumen products are supplied and stored at elevated temperatures up to 230°C, which makes them much hotter than boiling water. Bitumen burns may cause severe damage to eyes and skin. Sadly, accidents have resulted in workers requiring skin grafts. Boil-over of tanks or containers can occur if water comes into contact with hot bitumen.
Precaution
When transferring hot bitumen products ensure you have full skin protection to avoid burns in the event of an accident. Always wear one piece overalls which are buttoned up at the wrists and neck, gauntlet style heat resistant gloves, safety helmet with full face visor and neck apron attachment and industrial safety boots or Wellingtons. Never tuck trouser legs inside boots. Before loading or receiving hot bitumen products always check the contents of previous load to prevent water contamination and boil-over
Clean up
For large spills, keep the public away. Call the fire brigade.
Isolate source of spillage and turn off all pumps and valves if safe to do so.
Eliminate nearby ignition sourcesr
Contain the product by using sand.
Ensure all drains are covered to stop access to water ways.
Allow bitumen product to cool.
Scrape up and dispose of in an approved land fill site.
In the event of spillage of cutback bitumen or emulsion, or when heavy
rainfall occurs after spraying:
It is important to ensure that the product is prevented from entering waterways. Dam the product to stop it entering waterways. Place a boom or barrier to stop any contamination travelling down stream. Remove bitumen globule residues which deposit in the vegetation on the
sides of streams. Contact local authorities or emergency services. Check for any wildlife coated by bitumen products and contact the Environmental Agency for assistance. Dispose of bitumen residues to local approved land fill site.
FIRST AID
Burns
Cool effected area with cold running water for as long as possible, preferable until medical assistance is obtained. If the person has collapsed, ensure that bitumen splashed in difficult areas such as back of legs, are also well cooled with water. Do not attempt to remove bitumen
as it forms a protective sterile barrier on burnt skin. Take immediately to hospital, or call the ambulance service. No attempt should be made to remove the bitumen from the burned area.
