(see presentation below)High Potentials Summary1) SAP IM #1959308 - Creighton Mine - An 18 Volt Cordless Tool Battery was found melted and smoldering along with some of the waste inside an A&M Compactor. Ensure proper disposal of all types of batteries, and note that Lithium batteries are extremely flammable and can self-ignite when damaged / shorted.
2) SAP IM #1971900 - Clarabelle Mill - A high pressure nozzle cut through a section of pipe previously repaired with denso tape. The breakthrough occurred on a lower level where another work group identified the breech and reported immediately. Where possible, inspect piping prior to high pressure washing. Consider additional controls that may be required, such as guarding the area if inspection isn't feasible, or other mitigating measures as appropriate.
3) SAP IM # 1982794 - Creighton - A high pressure hose burst striking employee in the left forearm while cleaning a 4" sand fill line. Pre-inspect equipment and protect hoses from damage - especially high pressure hoses and hoses carrying hazardous materials. Also ensure Pressure Relief devices are operating properly to avoid over-pressurizing equipment.

Driving has been determined to be the number one cause of fatalities in the world. Driving is the riskiest activity that most employees will face. Drivers encounter risks associated with the vehicle (e.g. mechanical failure), the driving environment (e.g. road and weather conditions, traffic, pedestrians) and the driver (e.g. distractions, fatigue, stress).The success of a journey management program requires a commitment from company management. A Company’s Culture has a direct effect on individuals’ beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. - Manage Alertness and Fatigue- Vehicle Inspection (pre-trip)- Adjust to conditions (speed, cruise control etc.)- Maintain planned communication- Empower Drivers to STOP THE TRIP!

Vale globally works with its contractors to improve their sustainability practices, though that is mostly occurring in South America. Here in Sudbury, Vale became the founding sponsor for a community based sustainability initiative, called Green Economy North, which launched in April. It aims to get businesses to sign up, and helps them to understand their environmental footprint, set improvement targets and report on them, primarily focused on energy and greenhouse gas emissions. These businesses receive support from the group and are recognized on a website, at events, etc. It is just getting going in Sudbury but has been established for several years in Kitchener, Ottawa and other Ontario communities. They are offering a workshop on conducting energy audits on June 14, and as the founding partner Vale received 10 free passes, which I will offer at the meeting. Energy audits may help the smaller and even larger companies to reduce energy consumption in their facilities, etc. and save money.
June 14th 8:30am to 11am - Energy Audit Workshop at 176 Larch Street - Vale has 8 free passes to give away - please contact Tasha.Pinkerton@vale.com if interested.

(see report below)Working at Heights Blitz - two month blitz starting May 16, inspectors will be looking for: "appropriate work planning; training in both working at heights and the site-specific training required in using the fall protection system at a project; the proper use, configuration and inspection of fall protection systems; the use of guardrails, where appropriate; the correct configuration of travel restraint systems; and, the use of adequate attachment or anchor points. "
This is a No Tolerance blitz and inspectors will be tracking the number of tickets, prosecutions and orders. If a worker is non-compliant, despite receiving training, supervision and being provided the necessary equipment, then that worker should expect to receive a ticket personally.
There is no requirement for Busses to have seat belts on Vale Property. An Exemption to SPI-14 Seat Belts has been approved.

Heat Stress / Heat Stroke
Heat related illnesses are not always a result of just hot weather temperatures. Tight or layered clothing, areas with poor ventilation, over-exertion during work activities can create heat stress situations. If heat stress is not properly treated, the condition could progress to a heat stroke condition.
Symptoms of Heat Stress
Fatigue
Extreme sweating
Headache
Muscle or abdominal cramps
Symptoms of Heat Stroke
Rapid breathing
Nausea and vomiting
Racing heart rate
Altered mental state or behavior

Ministry of Labour • Health and Safety Guideline
High Visibility Safety Apparel for Mines and Mining Plants
Purpose
This guideline provides best practice recommendations for workplace parties to consider when fulfilling their responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) regarding apparel worn by workers to improve their visibility while working on surface and in underground mining environments.
Objectives
• To provide information on the selection, use and care of high visibility safety apparel (HVSA) for workers in different mining environments
• To reduce the number of incidents involving vehicles and pedestrian workers in mining environments
• To minimize the risk of injuries to workers in different mining environments
Legal requirements
Underground requirements
Section 262, Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) under the OHSA covers the important requirements.
On the surface requirements
Section 263, Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) under the OHSA covers the important requirements.
General requirements
Subsection 12(3) of Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) under the OHSA and clause 28(1)(b) of the OHSA cover other requirements.
History
Although the first high visibility safety apparel was developed in the 1930s, it was not utilised as a safety measure for workplaces until the British railway industry adopted its
2 • High Visibility Safety Apparel May 2016
use in 1964. Beginning in 1979, Ontario construction workers who directed traffic or were endangered by vehicular traffic were required to wear a vest of ‘reflective fluorescent and blaze orange or red.’ Specific provisions on HVSA were first introduced in Regulation 854 in 2000.
Fatalities, injuries and ‘close calls’ have occurred in mining workplaces because objects or equipment have come into contact with workers. In these situations, the lack of visibility of workers in the workplace may have been a contributing factor. The use of HVSA can help prevent these kinds of workplace incidents from happening in the future.
Background information
The use of barricades, signs, increased lighting, procedures and training will help to minimize the risk of worker and vehicle interactions in mines. Engineering and administrative controls should always be considered first while conducting risk assessments for workers at any mine site. However, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and clothing that improves the visibility of workers always remains an important consideration.
The hazards in mining activities depend on the type of work being done as well as the environment in which these activities take place. Hazards related to worker visibility may be very different in a mill or refinery than those in a gravel pit or an underground mine.
HVSA allows workers to be visible to equipment operators in conditions with reduced visibility. A pedestrian worker in an area with noisy machines in operation may not be able to hear oncoming equipment due to the noise. It is very important that workers are as visible as possible to equipment operators in the area to protect their health and safety.
Canadian Standards Association standards for high visibility safety apparel
The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has developed two separate standards on HVSA. CSA Standard Z96-09 provides guidance on the design and manufacture of high visibility safety apparel. CSA Standard Z96.1 was developed as a guide for the selection, use and care of HVSA. The specifications established in the CSA standards have been recognized as industry best practice, and should be considered for workers who work on surface in daylight hours.
As of July 1, 2016, workers who are working underground or on surface between sunset and sunrise will need to wear clothing that meets new requirements set out in Regulation 854. While the regulatory requirements are generally consistent with the CSA standard, they are slightly more restrictive. Specifically, the regulation requires that the high visibility safety apparel must be made of fluorescent or brightly coloured background material. Workplaces must comply with the new requirements set out in
3 • High Visibility Safety Apparel May 2016
Regulation 854, not the CSA standard; however, the CSA standard may still be a helpful resource.
Different classes of HVSA for use in mines (as per CSA Z96)
Class 2: Class 2 garments offer full coverage of the area between the waist and the neck with retro-reflective striping on fluorescent background material. As per the CSA standard, background materials of HVSA must be fluorescent and can be yellow-green, orange-red or red. Flame resistant (FR) clothing, however, is manufactured from material that cannot hold fluorescent dyes; these garments can be bright yellow-green or orange only, with no fluorescent properties.
The striping must be 50 millimetres wide and is composed of retro-reflective or combined performance materials with a Level 2 photometric performance level. Coverage on the sides of the torso area must include at least 50 per cent of the length of the entire garment. Stripes near the bottom edge of any garment must be at least 50 millimetres from the edge.
Workers at surface mines and mining plants that work during daylight hours should, as a best practice, be issued class 2 HVSA and at a minimum include workers who:
• Work in close proximity to vehicles and without physical separation
• Work in variable weather and light conditions where visibility can be affected
• Work in conditions where backgrounds can be complex and changing
• Perform tasks that may divert attention from approaching vehicles
It would be a best practice for all workers in pits and quarries and on surface areas of underground mines to be provided, at a minimum, CSA approved class 2 high visibility safety apparel for use during daylight hours.

Class 3: Class 3 garments provide a greater degree of visibility to the wearer and are recommended for workers in conditions that are dark and/or have very low light. Class 3 includes all the requirements of class 2 HVSA with the addition of retro-reflective striping on each limb. Retro-reflective stripes on the arms and legs can provide visible clues about the motion and direction of travel of the wearer of the garment. The distinctive configuration of the stripes ensures that some sections of the striping will be visible from all angles around the body (360˚ visibility) at all times.
Enhanced visibility
As of July 1, 2016, Regulation 854 will also require that high visibility safety apparel be made of fluorescent or bright coloured background material. This will help to provide greater visibility of workers in reduced light conditions.

7 • High Visibility Safety Apparel May 2016
Who should wear high visibility safety apparel
Workers in mines and mining plants who should be issued high visibility safety apparel as a minimum include:
• Surface workers who work in very low light or night-time conditions (between sunset and sunrise). These times can be found at various websites such as Environment Canada Weather, The Weather Network, using a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit, or from various news agencies that provide this type of information.
• Any workers in underground environments
• Emergency responders
Regulatory requirements as of July 1, 2016
As of July 1, 2016, every worker in an underground mine and, between sunrise and sunset, every worker on the surface, must wear high visibility safety apparel that meets the requirements of sections 262 and 263 of Regulation 854.
Fit
For optimal safety and performance, HVSA garments should be fitted specifically to each person who will wear them, with consideration given to additional clothing. For example, space must be available inside coveralls for any additional layers of clothing that will be added and removed as temperature conditions change. Another layer of clothing should not cover high visibility safety apparel, unless it is also HVSA of the same class or better. The fit should be relaxed enough to allow for freedom of movement for all normal work activities.
Care/maintenance
• Dirty/worn retro-reflective materials provide lower visibility than clean and well-maintained ones.
• Machine wash HVSA alone or with like colours in warm or cold water on a delicate cycle using a mild detergent. During washing, do not use bleach or fabric softener as they can degrade the FR (flame resistant) and retro-reflective properties of the materials. Clothing should not be ironed or dry cleaned.
• Avoid washing HVSA with rough clothing (i.e. jeans). The glass beads on the retro-reflective tape can be worn off by rough contact. If possible, turn HVSA clothing inside out for laundering.
• Hanging HVSA to air dry rather than using a dryer will extend the life of the garment. The heat of the dryer can degrade the retro-reflective properties of the material.
8 • High Visibility Safety Apparel May 2016
• HVSA that is heavily worn, torn, soiled or otherwise contaminated should be replaced as it may no longer provide adequate levels of visibility.
• The Canadian Standards Association has a related guideline: CSA-Z96.1, Guideline on Selection, Use and Care of High Visibility Safety Apparel.
Other considerations
• Workers in exceptionally cold work environments may require insulated outerwear. As of July 1, 2016, the outerwear must also meet the requirements set out in Regulation 854 for high visibility safety apparel.
• In the case of very wet environments, appropriate HVSA rain gear can be provided.
Retro-reflective material on headgear
Retro-reflective tape/material must also be applied to head gear worn in surface and underground mines.
As of July 1, 2016 retro-reflective material must be applied on the front and back of head gear as well as both sides to provide 360˚ reflectivity. Retro-reflective material should also be applied to ear muffs to ensure that the tape on the sides of the head gear cannot be obscured. Other stickers should be placed on head gear in such a way as to not obstruct the retro-reflective tape.
Terms
Note: The following terms are not defined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act or its regulations and are provided for reference purposes in this guideline only.
High Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA) is clothing that has colouring and retro-reflective striping that enhances the visibility of workers to others.
Approved high visibility safety apparel is clothing that complies with the CSA Z96-09 High Visibility Safety Apparel Standard. CSA Z96-09 details specifications for clothing that is (a) capable of visually signalling the wearer’s presence to others and/or (b) providing a high level of visibility under any light conditions and in a beam of illumination from vehicle lights.
Classes are categories by which the Canadian Standards Association rates high visibility safety apparel in respect of body coverage provided. Class 3 provides for the greatest amount of body coverage (360˚). Class 3 therefore provides the best visibility in poor light conditions and at the greatest distances.
Photometric performance level is the level of effectiveness of retro-reflective material in returning a reflection of light to its source and appearing brighter. All class 2 and 3 rated HVSA must be provided high visibility retro-reflective striping with Level 2
9 • High Visibility Safety Apparel May 2016
photometric performance. Flame resistant (FR) rated clothing must have FR rated striping materials.
Background material is bright coloured or fluorescent material intended to be highly conspicuous, but not intended to provide retro-reflective performance.
Bright coloured material is textile material that emits most of the optical radiation absorbed in a specific colour range. Using bright coloured material provides another option intended to create conspicuity against most work environments.
Fluorescent material takes a portion of invisible ultraviolet light from the sun and sends it back to a viewer as enhanced visible light. This material only works where there is a source of natural sunlight, so it would not be appropriate on its own in underground conditions. Fluorescent material appears brighter than similar coloured non-fluorescent material under low natural light (e.g., cloud cover, fog, dusk, dawn, etc.).
Retro-reflective material will return light in the direction of a light's originating source. This property of this material lets a driver or other viewer with a light source see the light reflected from the retro-reflective material on a person's clothing any time the person is standing within the light's beam. Retro-reflective materials are most effective under dark and low-light level conditions, making them suitable for underground use when there are directional light sources.
Combined performance retro-reflective material is a material that is both retro-reflective and fluorescent.
Flame resistant (FR) clothing is made of material that is formulated to self-extinguish when a source of flame or ignition is removed from contact with it.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Date: April 21, 2016 Dear Sir/Madam: As you may know, the Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) is responsible for enforcing the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and its regulations, including Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants). MOL inspectors inspect mines (including surface pits and quarries) and mining plants all over Ontario to ensure compliance with OHSA requirements. On July 1, 2016, new requirements regarding the use of high visibility safety apparel will come into force that will improve worker safety by increasing his or her ability to be seen in dark or low light conditions. The requirements are set out in sections 262 and 263 of Regulation 854.
As of that date, all workers in an underground mine and those workers on the surface between sunset and sunrise will be required to wear clothing that meets the following regulatory requirements: 262 (2) Every worker in an underground mine shall wear,
(a) high visibility safety apparel that makes the worker visible to others in the workplace and that meets the requirements set out in subsection (3); and (b) retro-reflective material applied to the front, back and sides of head gear.
(3) High visibility safety apparel must meet the following requirements:
1. It shall be made of fluorescent or bright-coloured background material. 2. It shall have retro-reflective striping that,
i. is located on the outside of the garment,
ii. measures at least 50 mm in width,
iii. completely encircles the waist, each arm and each leg below the knee,
iv. is arranged in two vertical lines on the front of the garment, extending over the shoulders and down to the waist, and
v. is arranged in the form of an “X” on the back of the garment, extending from the shoulders and down to the waist.
(4) All high visibility safety apparel and all retro-reflective material on head gear must be maintained in good condition so that they adequately visually identify a worker.
263 (2) Subject to subsection (3), between sunset and sunrise, every worker on the surface shall wear,
(a) high visibility safety apparel that makes the worker visible to others in the workplace and that meets the requirements set out in subsection 262 (3); and (b) retro-reflective material applied to the front, back and sides of head gear.
(4) All high visibility safety apparel and all retro-reflective material on head gear must be maintained in good condition so that they adequately visually identify a worker. Note:
As per the regulation, as of July 1st, high visibility safety apparel must be made of fluorescent or bright-coloured background material (whether a single piece of clothing, like a coverall, or multiple garments, such as a shirt and pants).
There will also be specific new requirements regarding retro-reflective material on both clothing and head gear, and a new requirement to maintain the apparel in good condition. Employers will need to ensure that the safety apparel/clothing/head gear used in their workplace complies with all of the new requirements by July 1, 2016. Resource:

General Overview
The workplace can create many hazards for your hands. No single glove can provide appropriate protection for every work situation, so it is important to assess the risk for each task and select a glove that provides specialized protection. Work gloves are considered an asset and reduce the risk of hand injury. The appropriate glove must be worn by the employee for their protection. Proper choice and implementation of gloves are critical elements when it comes to employee engagement and motivation. This engagement and motivation play a critical role in the culture building of our safe work places. The gloves workers wear seems like a small decision in the overall scheme of things, but small details have a big impact on the safety of our employees. Hazards and the potential results are as follows but not limited to:
Hazards Results Chemicals
Infectious Agents
Sharp Edges
Temperature Extremes
Live Energy
Pinch Points
Falling Materials
Absorption
Punctures
Laceration
Burns/Frost Bite
Electric Shock
Cuts
Crush Injuries
Objectives & Targets
This glove program has been developed as part of our 2014 Objectives & Targets. Reducing our finger and hand injuries is a priority we set forth to eliminate this trend. We have made some upgrades to the quality of gloves we are providing to our front line workers. These upgrades have been validated through a trial program which gave us feedback from the field. The development of this program is to raise awareness and educate our field staff on which gloves are most suitable for the task being performed.
Industry Statistics
25% of all workplace injuries happen to our hands and fingers. Hazards can be broken down into four categories. Mechanical Hazards include cutting surfaces, sharp edges, pinch points, moving parts and vibrating equipment. Personal Hazards include jewelry, loose fitting clothing, and improper or defective personal protective equipment. Contact Hazards are hot or cold surfaces, chemicals, solvents or liquids and electrical contact. Housekeeping Hazards include the improper storage of equipment, materials and chemicals.

Provincial Coordinator’s Comments May 2016 PLMHSC Meeting
As we move away from the frigid temperatures in winter, it is easy to feel good about life. It is almost instinctual to be happier with the warmer temperature and the increased light of spring.
Although this is a more relaxing time for outside workers it can also be a time of greater risk of injury. Increased water content of soils can make them far more unstable, and this, coupled with standing water on the ground increase the chances of slips and falls, as well as uncontrolled skids with vehicles driving through construction areas.
We had our first fatality this year with respect to workers working on an active roadway; and, a serious collapse of a structure within the city of Toronto. These incidents are neither isolated nor are they individually connected to each other. But they are symptomatic of our need to always be vigilant with respect to the hazards and the risks that workers face every day on the job.
Beginning on May 16 the ministry of labour across all regions will be undertaking its first 2-month blitz of the year. This blitz will be targeting “ falls from heights” on construction projects and our inspectors will be looking for: appropriate work planning; training in both working at heights and the site-specific training required in using the fall protection system at a project; the proper use, configuration and inspection of fall protection systems; the use of guardrails, where appropriate; the correct configuration of travel restraint systems; and, the use of adequate attachment or anchor points.
This is a no tolerance blitz, and we will be tracking the number of tickets, prosecutions and orders that are issued. MOL inspectors have been instructed to hold accountable the workplace party that is directly and most responsible. For example, if an employer is failing in their duty, our enforcement efforts will be directed primarily at the employer. If a worker is non-compliant, despite receiving training, supervision and being provided the necessary equipment, then that worker should expect to receive a ticket personally.
Inspectors will continue to make appropriate enforcement decisions, however despite our combined efforts over the past 30 years, falls from height remains the single most likely hazard that causes critical injuries, and is a substantial risk for fatalities in construction.
I am hopeful, given the nature of the hazard and the fact that we have appropriate training, safety equipment and supervision in the industry, that this will be a time to change a long-term trend and to make a substantial impact in workplace health and safety.
Let’s all work together to make this the safest year on record.

Particulars: The defendant failed to accurately locate and mark the energized underground power line.
Conviction Information
Date of Trial: December 10th, 2015 - Pachecos
February 18th, 2016 – G-Tel
Pachecos Facts:
On July 10, 2014, a worker employed by the defendant was using a Vermeer Horizontal Directional Driller (the “Driller”) to bore and excavate an underground route for an upgraded hydro power line that was to be installed at a project undertaken by the defendant at Miller Crescent, Simcoe, Ontario.
Prior to commencing directional boring and excavation with the Driller, GTel, an underground utility locate service, provided the defendant with utility locate drawings and painted locate markings on the ground.
However, the defendant failed to physically expose the existing energized underground power line prior to commencing directional boring and excavation with the Driller. The Driller subsequently hit the energized underground power line locatedapproximately 1.5 meters east from the painted locate markings as well as the locate drawings provided by G-Tel. The contact caused the power line to fault, which resulted in a temporary blackout in the local neighborhood until such time as the situation was rectified by the defendant. No persons were injured.
MOL Report to PLMHSC – Construction Sector – May 2016 Meeting
Page 5 of 11
G-Tel Facts:
The defendant made utility locate drawings and painted locate markings on the ground (“locates”) with respect to an energized underground power line at a project located at Miller Crescent, Simcoe, Ontario. The defendant provided the locates to Pachecos Contractors Ltd. (“Pachecos”), a company in the business of underground directional boring and excavation. On July 10, 2014, Pachecos used the locates to conduct underground drilling work at the project. However, the locates provided by the defendant were off target by approximately 1.5 meters.
As a result, and also because Pachecos failed to physically expose the existing energized underground power line prior to commencing directional boring and excavation, the power line was struck. The contact caused the power line to fault, which resulted in a temporary blackout in the local neighbourhood. No persons were injured.

Conviction Information
Date(s) of Trial: January 14, 2016
Disposition:
Conviction on Count(s): #1,#2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9
Facts in Support of Conviction:
On two separate dates in August 2014, Daniel Lane, along with at least one worker he hired, attended a residential home in Gananoque to remove asbestos-containing insulation from the 1500 square foot attic. While the removal was being done with a large vacuum system, the work area was not separated and sealed off from the rest of the home, and no decontamination facilities were in place to prevent the spread of dust. The work area was not was not identified with any signs warning of an asbestos dust hazard, no protective clothing was worn by the workers, who were in jeans and t-shirts, and containers for the dust and waste were not dust tight or identified as asbestos waste. Respirators worn by the workers were not fit-tested and workers were not trained on the use of these respirators. The Ministry of Labour had not been notified about the asbestos removal work, which is required under the regulations. Lane also did not have a copy of the Occupational Health and Safety Act posted, nor was there a written Health and Safety policy for the workplace.
The homeowner had been told by Lane that the asbestos removal work was being done in accordance with the Ministry of Labour regulations, and that Lane was certified to perform this work, neither of which was true; Lane had not completed the required training for asbestos work. The homeowner was present in the home along with two friends during part of the removal.
MOL Report to PLMHSC – Construction Sector – May 2016 Meeting
Page 8 of 11
A Ministry of Labour investigation, carried out jointly with the Ministry of the Environment and the Kingston Police Force, was started when two separate incidents of illegal dumping were reported to the Kingston Police. The interagency framework was in already in place due to the prevalence of illegal asbestos removal and dumping in the Kingston area. At the two locations, investigators found thirteen large vacuum bags, each measuring five to six feet in length and weighing several hundred pounds, that had been dumped on private property. These bags were full of asbestos-containing insulation, were not properly sealed, and had no markings to warn the public about the contents. Through the cooperation of many local businesses and individuals, enough information was received by the investigators to connect these bags of asbestos-containing insulation back to Daniel Lane.

Business Need or Opportunity
Situation Analysis:
Late 2014 a periodic review of the Ontario Operations Confined Space Program was
carried out in consultation with the JHSC as legislated in O.Reg.632 Confined Spaces
section 5 (3).
Over the last year our L&D department has revised and update the confined space
program training modules of awareness, attendant & entry personnel and rescue
training including a new confined space entry supervisor workshop to the Global Valer
training standard.
Need and Opportunity:
Local alignment to the Vale Global Critical Activity Requirements, CAR – 06 Confined
Spaces, Ontario Operations Confined Space Program effective date April 2016,
including local legislative requirements of the OHSA and O.Reg. 632 Confined
Spaces.
