THIRD PARTY HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM RULES AND STANDARDS

The following Health, Safety and Environment Program Rules and Standards must be followed while on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property. These rules and standards should be reviewed by all Third-party employees and referred to as required.

1. RULES

1.1 LOAD SECUREMENT RULES

All loads must be adequately secured prior to movement.

Only ratchet binders are permitted to be used for securement of finished steel products. Exception wide coils loaded cross-wise that physically restrict the use of ratchet style binders. In this situation, the use of safety binders will be permitted but only if provided securement is completed from the ground. If additional leverage is required to close the binder, only approved loading bars are permitted.

Ensure proper footing when working on or gaining access to the vehicle

All traffic rules and regulations must be followed on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property (e.g. stop signs,

posted speed limits, seatbelts, cell phone use). 1.2 ARCELORMITTAL DOFASCO “MAJOR SAFETY RULES”

ArcelorMittal Dofasco has identified four (4) very specific existing rules that are critical elements of each work activity.

You must lock out when required. You must not disable safety devices. You must use fall protection when it is required. You must follow the Confined Space Entry (CSE) procedure

1.3 CORPORATE JOB SAFE PRACTICE RULES

Do not pile material or park any vehicle within three (3) meters or ten (10) feet of any railroad

tracks.

Railroad supervision must be consulted at the work site prior to performing any work within three (3) meters or ten (10) feet of any railroad tracks.

Tracks must be locked out if work is to be performed within 3 meters of any railroad tracks. The only exception is work that will involve intermittent, short duration vehicle or equipment movements within 3 meters of any railroad tracks. For this exception, at the discretion of Railroad supervision, a safety person may be utilized rather than a track lockout. Railroad supervision must be notified upon completion of work.

Vehicles and equipment must cross only at designated roadway rail crossings. Railroad supervision must be consulted at the work site prior to vehicles or equipment crossing railroad tracks at other than designated roadway rail crossings

Unauthorized Passengers by ArcelorMIttal Dofasco are not permitted in trucks or vehicles.

All attendants shall exit the vehicle when being loaded/unloaded. Driver is to remain in site line of AMD operators and follow site specific procedures.

1.4 MOTOR VEHICLES AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT

1.4.1 Motor Vehicles Only competent and authorized personnel are allowed to operate motor vehicles. All persons operating registered mobile equipment must possess a valid driver’s certificate specific to the equipment they are operating.

All Third-party employees must comply with these rules:

Vehicles must be checked prior to operating to ensure they are safe to operate.

When exiting the vehicle, the parking brake must be engaged.

Loads must be securely fastened in accordance with Ontario Ministry of Transportation

requirements before transporting.

Transporting personnel in the box or on the deck of a truck is prohibited.

Seatbelts are to be worn at all times by the driver and passengers of any vehicle or mobile equipment when in operation.

The number of occupants in a vehicle must not exceed the number of seat belts provided.

All Third-party vehicles used on site must be equipped with a clearly audible back-up device that must be activated when equipment is initiated to backing up.

All ArcelorMittal Dofasco roadway rules and roadway signs must be adhered to at all times.

Third party employees must not use restricted roadways unless approved by ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

Third party employees must be aware of and alert to all traffic inside and outside of buildings

(e.g. overhead cranes, transporters, slag carriers, etc.) Allow the right of way.

Do not walk or drive under suspended loads.

There is a 4 km/hr speed limit inside all buildings. (equivalent to Walking speed)

Vehicle ignitions must be shut off and the parking brake engaged when parked.

Passing is not permitted, with the exception of slow moving equipment. Extreme caution

must be taken to ensure it can be done safely and the maximum posted speed limit is not

exceeded. Large mobile equipment is not considered to be slow moving equipment

unless performing road maintenance, e.g. graders, street washers, nail pickers




Exercise extreme caution when driving. Various hazardous conditions can occur which

effect visibility or traction.

o weather conditions (rain or snow),

o steel plates or manhole covers can be as slippery as ice in wet conditions,

o bridges freeze faster than roads in cold weather conditions,

o geese on the road,

o going from paved to unpaved

o debris on the road (e.g. pellets, oil, steel scrap) can hinder a vehicle’s handling

ability.

o Stop the vehicle if conditions make it advisable.

o Ask for assistance if required. o Never drive into a cloud of steam. If caught in a steam cloud, stop and wait for the cloud

to clear. Do not reverse your vehicle out of a steam cloud. o In foggy conditions, drive slowly and defensively with headlights on. o All roads signed as "Restricted" (e.g., West Carrier Road and Dock Roads) are off-limits to

all vehicles except for authorized heavy equipment and vehicles. Observe restricted areas. Vehicles are not allowed to enter restricted areas unless authorized by their direct supervision and having received clearance from the operating department.

o Vehicles must stop at all signed (cross bucks and/or stop sign) rail crossings and obey all railway personnel giving signals. Exercise caution when driving near tracks.

o Be aware that trains and ore bridges may move on tracks in either direction without warning.

o Road maintenance or construction may restrict road access. Slow down and obey flag person's instructions or signage.

o When driving over rough roads, drive at a walking speed (4 km/hr). o Slag pot carriers have the right of way. Drivers must respect and obey the slag pot

carrier escort convoy. Pull over to the side and stop until convoy passes. Yield the right of way.

o Yield the right of way to the slab/scrap carrier. This equipment is not escorted. Pull over to the side and stop until carrier passes. Do not block carrier routes. Do not drive in a manner that would make it necessary for a carrier to stop suddenly. Since visibility behind heavy equipment is limited, maintain enough distance behind heavy equipment (50 feet) so that the equipment operator can see you.

o Do not drive under any suspended load, hook, bucket, etc. o Do not cross under an ore bridge bucket at any time. o Vehicles must be operated with lights on at all time. In addition, use "owl" lights or

four-way flashers while driving inside buildings, in hazardous areas or under adverse conditions.

o Never use a hand-held communication device (e.g., cell phone) while driving. If you must use a communication device while driving, use a hands-free microphone and/or earpiece.

o Never use an electronic entertainment device (e.g. iPods, MP3, portable games) or display screens on devices not required for driving (e.g. laptops or DVD players).

o All two wheeled vehicles (including bicycles and motorcycles) as well as other recreational equipment (e.g., roller blades) are prohibited within all plant areas at ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

o When maneuvering equipment maintain 3 meters (10 feet) clearance from rail tracks.




Third Party employers are responsible to ensure that all Third-party employees possess a valid Ontario driver’s licence, (without restrictions) if the employee is required to drive a registered vehicle on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property.

If a Third-Party employee has an ignition interlock condition (as a result of an impaired driving conviction) on their Ontario Driver's Licence, they are not allowed to operate any licenced and/or Registered Vehicle on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property until the condition has been removed.

1.4.2 Dry Vacuuming (Truck) Dry vacuuming of materials is a frequent activity which on occasion has resulted in Third party employees receiving static shocks when coming in close proximity to the dry vacuuming (truck) equipment.

For vacuuming dry material:

• The dry vacuuming equipment must be grounded

• Use as much grounded piping as possible to allow for the least amount of employee exposure.

• Grounded piping can consist of steel pipe or grounded rubber hose (bonded) • Where only plastic corrugated vacuum hose can be used in areas where employee contact

with the hose may occur, the hose must be cordoned off with barrier tape and signs must be posted. These signs read “Danger – Static Charge Build-up”

• All precautions necessary to reduce employee exposure to static shock must be addressed at the Safe Work Permit meeting.

1.4.3 Wet Vacuuming (Truck) Practices described in American Petroleum Institute Standard Publication 2219 "Safe Operation of Vacuum Trucks in Petroleum Service" must be followed when wet vacuuming, particularly when working with combustible or flammable materials.

Key points to remember for wet vacuuming:

• Super suckers must not be used with flammables or combustibles.

• Hoses must be chemical hoses suitable for hydrocarbons.

• Hoses must be conductive (conductive wire built into hose).

• Truck must be grounded.

• Discharge vapours must be ducted down-wind from the truck.

1.4.4 OFF LOADING BULK TANKERS

Tank truck unloading will be done during daylight hours except under emergency conditions and

will be scheduled in advance whenever possible. The tank truck must be accompanied by an ArcelorMittal Dofasco employee prior to unloading, who will ensure that locked valves and fill caps are unlocked and that spill response materials (absorbent pads, booms and absorbent material) are in adequate supply.




Tank truck drivers must be aware of their surroundings, especially in congested areas. Assess area to ensure it is safe to unload. Truck motor must be turned off unless required for unloading. Tank trailer brakes shall be set, the wheels shall be chocked, and the driver shall remain with the vehicle during the entire unloading period. Proper methods for hose connection, tank filling and hose disconnection must be used, and precautions taken to avoid unnecessary dripping and / or releases from hoses and connection equipment. Assure that the storage tank is vented prior to connecting unloading line. Ensure that catch basins, prior to unloading, are covered in order to prevent spills from going into the basins. Covers shall not be removed until loading is completed, and any spillage has been contained and removed. Prior to initiating material transfer,

• All hoses and valves are to be inspected

• Prior to filling (and again prior to departure of tank truck), the lowermost drain and all outlets of vehicle must be examined for leakage and if necessary tightened, adjusted or replaced to prevent leakage while off-loading (or while in transit).

• Ensure all hoses are connected tight and that a collection bucket is placed under the trailer unloading valve. During the unloading, the truck operator must be within twenty-five (25) feet and in view of unloading lines at all times.

• Proper personal protection equipment must be worn according to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the material being unloaded.

• Once unloading has ceased, the hoses will be disconnected such that any material in the lines will gravity drain into the tank or be pumped into the tank. Any small dripping material shall be contained and removed.

• If any spill occurs during the filling process, stop filling and immediately follow ArcelorMittal Dofasco spill reporting procedures.

• Operator must clean up any oil spills, including any product contained in the spill container (if applicable) before leaving area.

1.4.5 Hose Requirements

• For use inside buildings the hose shall be of minimum practical length without exceeding six (6) feet.

• It shall not extend from one room to another, nor pass through any walls, partitions, ceilings, or floors.

• Hose shall not be concealed from view or used in a concealed location.

• For use outside of buildings, the hose may exceed this length but shall be kept as short as practical.

• Hose and hose connections on the low-pressure side of the regulator or reducing valve shall be designed for a bursting pressure of not less than 125 psig. or five (5) times the set pressure of the relief devices protecting that portion of the system, whichever is higher.

• Hose connections subject to container pressure shall be capable of withstanding, without leakage, a test pressure of not less than 500 psig.

• Tridon clamps on hoses is prohibited. • All piping, tubing, or hose shall be tested after assembly and proved free from leaks at not

less than normal operating pressures. • The use of threaded cast iron pipe fittings such as ells, tees, crosses, couplings, and

unions are prohibited.




• Aluminum alloy fittings shall be used with aluminum alloy pipe and tubing. Insulated fittings shall be used where aluminum alloy pipe or tubing connects with a dissimilar metal.

1.4.6 Heavy Equipment / Mobile Equipment / Crane(s) and Certification All Third-party employers must ensure that all Third-party personnel required to operate mobile equipment, (e.g. backhoes, trucks, excavators, etc.) during the course of their work are properly trained, possess a current driver’s license (for registered vehicles) as well as all other necessary licenses and/or certificates. It is the responsibility of the Third-party employer to ensure third party employees have the required training. ArcelorMittal Dofasco will not provide training to third party employees. Any Third-party employee required to operate an ArcelorMittal Dofasco owned/leased/rented vehicle must be authorized by ArcelorMittal Dofasco area personnel and be able to demonstrate competency.

All mobile equipment must be in good operating condition with current maintenance and inspection records available upon request. This is as per applicable legislation and regulations for mobile equipment.

1.4.7 Mobile Cranes Third party employers must ensure they have discussed all necessary arrangements, (e.g. crane placement, road restrictions, medical, security, and fire department notifications, lockouts, safety watch, traffic control, etc.) with the appropriate ArcelorMittal Dofasco Business Unit representative coordinating the work prior to the Safe Work Permit Meeting.

Third party employers must discuss the procedure for operating a mobile crane within the buildings of the facility (CTS Rigger must approve all procedures).

1.4.8 Powered Elevating Work Platforms For each specific make and model of powered elevating work platform that is to be operated, the Third-party operator must have received proper training to do so. It is the responsibility of the Third-party employer to provide this training. Initial certification must have been completed prior to operating a specific powered elevating work platform for the first time. Re-certification is required at regular intervals determined by the amount of operating time. The training should have included but was not limited to verbal and written instructions, hands-on demonstration, and instruction relating to:

• Manufacturer’s operating manual (e.g. instructions)

• Load limitations

• Limitations of the types of surfaces for which the platform is designed

• Manufacturer’s warning and caution signs on the machine

• Location, instruction, and demonstration of all operating and emergency controls • Daily maintenance checks to perform, and • Applicable regulations.




Proof of training shall accompany the operator at all times while operating the equipment. Prior to operating a powered elevating work platform, the site on which the equipment will be used must be evaluated. All ground and aerial hazards must be eliminated before operation including:

• Holes in ground surfaces

• Ramps or inclines (e.g. uneven surfaces)

• L i v e electrical hazards

Prior to the beginning of each shift or prior to each use, a pre-operation inspection shall be completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s inspection requirements.

2. HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM STANDARDS

Third party employees will be expected to comply with these requirements:

• Before transportation in any vehicle, all cylinders must be secured in the upright position with protective caps in place.

• Propane cylinders only may be stored and transported on their side provided they are in special

racks designed for that application.

• Before hoisting any cylinder, it must be secured in a proper buggy or container and protective

caps in place.

• Chains, slings, or magnets are not to be used for lifting any cylinder. Except if secured in a proper

buggy, regulators are to be removed and protective caps in place before any cylinder may be

moved.

• Avoid dropping, dragging, or sliding cylinders as damage may result.

• When in use, cylinders must be in a proper buggy or secured to a firm support.

• Never strike an electric arc on a cylinder.

• Before connecting regulators to natural gas station outlets MAPP gas, or Fuel Gas 2 cylinders make certain the fibre washers are in place on inlet gland.

• The cylinder valve should always be opened slowly.

• Do not stand directly in front of a cylinder valve outlet. • Always check carefully for and eliminate any gas leaks at cylinder valves, regulators, and torch

connections. Use Snoop, never use an open flame. • A leaking cylinder must be taken outdoors well away from any possible source of ignition if the

leak cannot be stopped. Rope off the area and post “No Smoking” signs. Allow the cylinder to bleed off into the atmosphere.

• When completely empty, tag the cylinder describing the defect and return the cylinder to the




supplier. • After handling a leaking oxygen or fuel gas cylinder, be sure to allow your clothing to dry out for

at least one hour before you go near any source of ignition including lighting a cigarette. In the event of a small flame on a cylinder valve or regulator:

a) Shut off the cylinder valve b) If the flame goes out, investigate to determine the cause of the flame c) If the flame does not go out, extinguish the flame and follow leaking cylinder procedure.

In the event of any involved fire around the base or top of the cylinder:

a) Call the Fire Department at 905-548-7200 Ext. 3333 b) Clear the area of all personnel c) Do NOT attempt to extinguish the flame d) Keep all adjacent cylinders cool by hosing with water e) Do not attempt to remove non-flaming cylinders immediately adjacent to the fire.

f) Do not attempt to make repairs or alter cylinders or valves.

• Before loosening any connection, always close the cylinder valve and bleed the line pressure into an

open area.

• Empty gas cylinders are to be removed daily from the job site.

2.1.2 Storage of Compressed Gas Cylinders Keep cylinders well away from open flames and excessive heat of all kinds.

• Cylinders must be stored in an area posted with “No Smoking” signs.

• Cylinders must be stored in the upright position with the valve caps securely in place

• Full and empty compressed gas cylinders must be stored separately.

• Fuel gas and oxygen cylinders must be stored separately.

• Separation may be a ¼” thick plate at least 6 feet tall, or separation by at least 20 feet (6

meters).

• Store only the quantity that is necessary for the work.

• Avoid excessive storage.

• Outdoor storage is required for flammable gases which are heavier than air (meet Ontario Fire

Code for cylinder storage).

2.2 DESIGNATED SUBSTANCES

Outside carriers and supply companies are not expected to have any direct involvement with designated substances. Should direct involvement with these substances be part of the job scope, specific details will be included in the bid package.

2.2.1 Asbestos Asbestos is primarily found in piping insulation installed prior to late 1970’s, but can also be found in




building materials (i.e. fireproofing insulation, siding, roofing), furnace/vessel lining, electrical equipment and gasket/packing material.

2.2.2 Benzene Benzene is a component of light oil, which is recovered at No. 1 and 3 By-Product Plants. It is also present in small amounts in coal tar which is recovered at all three By-Product plants. Warning signs have been posted at the By- Product plants where benzene vapour is present.

2.2.3 Coke Oven Emissions Coke oven emissions are the particulates, gases, and vapours, including condensed vapours, emitted from coke ovens.

2.2.4 Lead Lead paint was used in many painting applications up until approximately 1980. Lead paint exists in several locations at ArcelorMittal Dofasco such as structural steel, vessels, tanks, older equipment, buildings, etc.

2.2.5 Silica Silica is found in many areas of ArcelorMittal Dofasco including the Ironmaking, Steelmaking, and Masonry operations. Some insulating and refractory materials (e.g. bricks) and cements contain Free Crystalline Silica (FCS). It may be also used for sandblasting.

2.3 ELEVATORS

• No smoking in any elevator.

• Promptly report any defective condition to an ArcelorMittal Dofasco representative.

• Know the safe capacity of the elevator and never overload it.

• Block / chock hand trucks or other objects that are likely to shift before moving elevator. • S hut off all motors when equipment is being transported on elevators.

• No flammable material is allowed on elevator.

• Make sure the gates are fully opened before entering with a tractor.

• Never contact the gates with the tractor.

• Never leave the elevator through the escape hatch. Call for assistance and wait.

• Keep elevator doors clear of people and materials.

2.4 EMERGENCY EYEWASH AND SAFETY SHOWERS

Third party employees should be familiar with the location and operation of any equipment in the area where they will be working. In remotely located areas, the fountains/showers may be equipped with an




audiovisual alarm to alert other employees when the equipment is being used, especially if only one employee is working in the area. In situations where the Third party brings substances of a toxic or corrosive nature onto ArcelorMittal Dofasco property, and there is not an appropriate eyewash or safety shower in the vicinity, it is the responsibility of the Third-party employer to provide appropriate eyewash or safety shower facilities for the protection of Third party employees.

2.5 EMERGENCY RESPONSE

2.5.1 M.E.R.P. ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s “Major Emergency Response Plan” or MERP is a corporate plan developed to

ensure an immediate, coordinated and effective response to any major emergency which could occur in and around ArcelorMittal Dofasco property.

Every area throughout ArcelorMittal Dofasco has developed a local MERP plan. The details of these plans are included in each area’s Site-Specific Document and will be distributed and discussed as part of the “Safe Work Permit Meeting” held prior to any work by Third party employees commencing.

2.5.2 Evacuation Assembly Areas MERP assembly areas are located in each area throughout ArcelorMittal Dofasco and are identified by these distinctive signs. Your local Staging or Assembly Area will be identified on the ‘Site Specific Document” for the area you are working. All Third Parties that are required to work on site under a Safe Work Permit the MERP information will be provided as part of the “Safe Work Permit Meeting”. For all other Carriers and deliveries on site they will accompany an ArcelorMittal Dofasco employee to the designated MERP location when MERP is initiated.

2.5.3 Emergency Reporting Procedures In case of an emergency on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property, immediately notify the appropriate ArcelorMittal Dofasco area:

Protect against further damage where possible. Keep all non-essential personnel away from the area. Conduct a full investigation and provide ArcelorMittal Dofasco with a copy of that investigation report.

2.6 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

2.6.1 Qualifications of Third Party Personnel The responsibilities of the Third-Party Employer performing work having the potential to cause any significant environmental impact(s) include: • Ensuring that any person performing work be competent based on appropriate education, training

or experience and that associated records be retained for review as required. • Ensuring that any person performing work understands the importance of conformity with the

Environmental Policy and procedures and the potential consequences of departure from specified procedures.

• Ensure that any person performing work understands the significant environmental aspects and potential impacts associated with their work.

2.6.2 Reporting Environmental Incidents The Third-party employer must take immediate action to safely stop the emission or contain the discharge and notify the ArcelorMittal Dofasco job supervisor of the situation. If in doubt, report the situation to the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Project Manager / Coordinator anyway. The Project Manager / Coordinator will report the environmental incident following ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s procedure.




2.6.3 Controlling Air Emissions Minimizing air emissions from ArcelorMittal Dofasco sources is an environmental priority. Dust, or particulate, from storage piles and open areas is caused by high winds and vehicle traffic. Third parties must minimize air emissions by following:

• Loading Practices – Trucks must not be overloaded with material. Overfilling causes spillage from trucks.

• The spilled material creates “trackout”. Trackout is carried along the road by the vehicle’s tires. It dries on the road and when driven over, is crushed, creating dry dust, or air emissions.

• Tarping Loads – All open top trucks must be tarped prior to leaving the loading area, to minimize air emissions.

• Speed Limits – All speed limits must be obeyed. Following posted traffic speed limits minimizes the amount of dust created on roadways.

• Turn Off Engines – Drivers shall turn off engines while stationary unless the engine is required for a specific reason (e.g. vacuuming in or pumping off load)

• Sandblasting – To minimize airborne sandblasting particulate, the third party shall use the lowest dust abrasive available. Where sandblasting of paints may be lead-based, the debris generated during the removal of the existing paint shall be collected and disposed of properly – the debris cannot be diluted to render it non- hazardous. Blasting materials should be FCS free.

• Construction and Demolition – Trackout from job sites must be controlled and waste / debris from any demolition must be properly disposed.

Third parties operating on site on a permanent basis (i.e. does not apply to construction activities) that generate air emissions must include the emissions in ArcelorMittal Dofasco's air emissions inventory

2.6.4 Recycled Materials The 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) Regulations became law in March 1994. The purpose of the 3Rs Regulations is to reduce the flow of valuable resources going to disposal in Ontario.

Unless the contract specifies other arrangements, the Third-party employer must use ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s recycling depots (locations listed below) for:

Paper, corrugated cardboard, newsprint, glass, steel cans, aluminum cans and various types of plastic:

• Main Office

• Gate 15 – West Perimeter Road close to Door 1029

• G ate 11 – behind the guard station

• Gate 12 – behind #3 Stores

• Gate 19 – Gage property • Gate 10 – Doors 1004 & 1005 • Gate 8B – Door 226 Cold Roll Product

NiCad batteries and light bulbs




• Gate 3 – Door 102 for nickel / cadmium (NiCad) batteries • #4 Stores for light bulbs (fluorescent, mercury, vapour, metal halide, high pressure sodium, halogen

lamps) Must be brought for disposal in original carton.

2.6.5 Spill Control and Response

The preferred method of controlling spills is to prevent them from happening in the first place.

To prevent spills, a Third-Party employer must use the following individually, or in combination:

• Ensure that nothing is deposited into a sewer or waterway, including city water or storm sewer.

• Store oils or chemicals on a containment pad, away from sewer grates or where a spill could reach a sewer.

• Inspect the condition of the oil or chemical container, drum, tote, etc., transferring the material to a new container if necessary.

• Ensure level controls, alarms, and/or standby backup pumps are in working condition.

• The Third Party is responsible for developing and maintaining procedures to prevent spill and instructing employees in these procedures.

• Prior to the use of any chemical, the MSDS must be consulted.

The Third Party responds to a spill by:

• If possible, stop the spill, taking into account employee safety first. • Prevent the spill from entering sewers by stopping the flow, dyking, sealing manhole covers and

sewer grates and spreading absorbents.

• Report the spill to the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Project Coordinator and to the appropriate government authorities (e.g. Spills Action Centre) immediately.

• In the event of a chemical spill, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be consulted. Safe handling procedures, instructions in case of fire, health hazard ratings and summarized spill response procedures are listed on all MSDS sheets.

• The Third Party is responsible for developing and maintaining procedures to respond to spills and instructing employees in these procedures. The Third Party should possess, or have access to, an emergency spill kit that is suitable for the chemicals or materials being handled. The Third Party is responsible for cleaning up spilled chemicals or materials and related costs.

2.6.6 Waste Management The Third-Party employer shall comply with Ontario Waste Regulation 347 of the Environmental Protection Act.

Unless otherwise specified in writing by the Third-Party Employer and ArcelorMittal Dofasco, the Third-Party employer will:

• Restore the job site and any lands affected by it, to a clean condition, free of all waste, debris and hazardous materials.

• The Third-party employer is responsible for removing any refuse, including empty containers (e.g. drums, cans) left over construction material and packaging.




• All hazardous or toxic materials brought into the plant by the third party will be taken off-site by the third party.

• No residuals or contaminated water is to be allowed into ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s water treatment plants or sewer systems.

• Liquid industrial waste cannot be dumped down a sink or sewer. • Segregate any waste generated from a job and identify as either subject waste (hazardous or liquid

industrial) or non-hazardous waste. • Waste containers shall be dated and labelled as to content. The containers shall be in good

condition and impermeable to the waste it is receiving. The lid shall be kept closed unless adding more of the same waste.

• Arrange for disposal of any wastes off-site in accordance with regulations. If waste is deemed to be subject waste, it must be disposed of within ninety (90) days of the starting date it is generated.

• Prior to shipping wastes off-site, the third party shall ensure that shipping documents, labelling, and placarding requirements are compliant with legislation.

• Third Party contractors are not authorized to sign manifests or other documentation pertaining to ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s wastes or secondary materials.

• The unauthorized use of ArcelorMittal Dofasco's waste generator registration numbers by Third Party contractors without expressed written consent and full knowledge of an official from ArcelorMittal Dofasco's Environment Department is prohibited.

• Third Party contractors regularly generating wastes on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property will be required to set up a Generator Registration Number with the Ministry of the Environment.

• This registration must be under the contractor's name with address specific to the site where the wastes are generated on ArcelorMittal Dofasco's property.

2.7 FALL PREVENTION

Whenever the danger of falling is encountered, steps should be taken to eliminate or engineer out the hazard. Such steps can apply to new or existing facilities and they can be a change in design, proper housekeeping, erection of a scaffold, installation of a guardrail, barrier or swing gate, or covering an exposed opening. Refer to Infrastructure Health and Safety Association – Working at Heights (Quick Reference Guide) (https://www.ihsa.ca/pdfs/products/id/V001.pdf ) for industry standards / best practices. 2.7.1 Fall Protection Equipment In situations where fall prevention cannot be applied, an assessment of the risk from falling must take place. ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s standard requires that fall protection equipment be worn whenever there is work that exposes employees to the hazard of falling from one level to another. Fall protection equipment is mandatory at 1.8 meters (6 feet) but may be worn when working less than 1.8 meters (6 feet). Fall protection equipment must also be worn when working within 1.8 meters (6 feet) from the edge of a fall hazard (for work off a ladder above 6 feet, see the Ladder section of this handbook). Certain conditions and exceptions may also apply when working on roofs. The fall protection system consists of a full body harness, with the shortest lanyard possible, affixed to a solid support. Where applicable, fall protection equipment must have Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approval.

https://www.ihsa.ca/pdfs/products/id/V001.pdf




Only trained personnel shall use and inspect fall protection equipment. Training includes verbal and written instructions in the use of a fall protection system (i.e. general and equipment specific) and delivered by a competent approved trainer. The Third-party employer shall maintain training records for each person including the person’s name, dates on which training took place, and the name of the trainer.

2.7.2 Rescue / Emergency Plans As per legislative requirements, emergency rescue plans are needed before any use of a fall restricting system and/or fall arrest system. An emergency plan may apply to:

• A single job, or

• A common work area where several jobs are being conducted. In this case, an emergency plan would cover all the jobs for that area.

The ArcelorMittal Dofasco Representative will provide the Third-party employer with a copy of the Fall Rescue Plan.

2.7.3 Controlled Access Plans

The following signs are installed to control access to fixed elevated positions. These are areas where there is a risk of someone falling when walking or working. These areas can include (but are not limited to) roof beams with no means of fall protection, crane runways/landings and unprotected elevated areas. No one is permitted to access these areas without authorization. Third Party employees who are required to access these areas will obtain authorization through the Safe Work Permit.

2.8 FITNESS TO WORK

Every Third-party employer has a responsibility for the health and safety and well-being of each person under their direction, including third party employees, sub-contractors, visitors, and other authorized guests.

Impairment impacting a person’s health and safety on the job site is the issue: such impairment may be due to injury, medical condition, alcohol, drugs, medication or other possible conditions affecting behavior including stress, fatigue, anger, depression, anxiety, etc.

Where persons are found in a suspected impaired condition (e.g. behaving in an abnormal or inappropriate manner);




• The person must not be allowed to work or remain on the job site. • If an employee is suspected of being impaired when entering the premises, (e.g. reporting for work,

returning from lunch), the Security Department will refuse entry and request the Third-party employee’s supervisor to come to the gate.

• Police will be called if necessary and further follow-up action will be taken with the Third-party employee’s employer.

• The person in question should be offered the assistance of ArcelorMittal Dofasco Medical Services Department.

• Medical Services will provide the necessary medical care. • If the offer for assistance is refused, the Third-party Supervisor must then remove the employee

from site. • Accommodations to take the Third-party employee offsite must be offered by the Third-party

Supervisor. • When necessary, Security will notify the police if the person refuses transportation off site.

• All Third-party employees sent offsite because of suspected impairment must be re-assessed prior to the next working shift.

• If requested, ArcelorMittal Dofasco Medical Services will assist in determining fitness for work and any need for further assessment. The Third-party Supervisor must accompany the Third-party employee if using ArcelorMittal Dofasco's Medical Services.

• In the case of Finished Product Steel Carriers already on ArcelorMittal Dofasco premises, local ArcelorMittal Dofasco Supervision and Security will accompany the carrier employee to the nearest ArcelorMittal Dofasco gate. Contact will be made with the carrier company to have the vehicle removed from ArcelorMittal Dofasco property.

2.9 FLEXIBLE HOSE ASSEMBLIES

The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) require that flexible hose assemblies must meet the same requirements as other components of registered piping systems. The complete hose-fitting-clamp assembly must be properly rated and registered as required.

Properly registered flexible hose assemblies must be used by all third parties in services and systems that are regulated under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, Boilers and Pressure Vessels Regulation. The hose assemblies must have a Canadian Registration Number (CRN) assigned by the TSSA. Hose assemblies used on gaseous fuels (e.g. natural gas, propane and by-product fuels) shall have a minimum working pressure of 350 psig and shall comply with CSA Standard CAN/CGA-8.1 or CSA Standard CAN/CGA-8.3.

ArcelorMittal Dofasco has standardized the acceptable hose assemblies to be used on registered systems and non- registered systems. The details of acceptable hose assemblies are contained in the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Piping Specifications, Section 4.21. If third party employers wish to review these specifications or use other “equivalent” hose assemblies, they must contact ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s Engineering and Maintenance Technology (EMT) – Piping and Environmental Engineering Group for approval at any of these telephone numbers: (905) 548-7200 Ext. 3573, 4966, 4206 or 2071.




2.10 ISOLATIONS – BARRIERS AND BARRIER TAPE

Barriers and Barrier Tape are used to temporarily barricade the passage of people or vehicles in an unauthorized area. They must be installed to warn people of hazards in an area and to direct persons past such hazards.

Guarding (Barricading) is a requirement of Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Regulations for Industrial Establishments and/or the Regulations for Construction Projects. All barriers at ArcelorMittal Dofasco must be installed in accordance with these requirements.

All openings, sumps, vessels, bins, hoppers, elevated platforms or pits, other than grease pits, which constitute a hazard, shall be fenced or otherwise guarded (in accordance with the Regulations for Mines and Mining Plants). There are two types of barriers approved for use at ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

Only authorized personnel can enter the barricaded areas. When barricades are used, authorization must be obtained from the site contact person.

It is considered a Major Safety Infraction for any unauthorized person(s) entering a barricaded area. The two types of temporary barricades approved for use at ArcelorMittal Dofasco are Barriers and Barrier Tape. Barriers (e.g. saw horse or jersey barriers) should be used in temporary situations to physically prevent entry of unauthorized people or equipment into areas where a hazard exists (e.g., road closures). When used as a warning for fall hazards they must be placed a minimum of 6 feet from the fall hazard. Fall protection equipment must be worn if people are within the barricaded area (less than 6 feet from the fall hazard). Barrier Tape is used to warn people of a potential hazard and stop entry into a restricted area. This method does not physically prevent entry, but people must not enter the area restricted without authorization from the site contact person.

Examples of when barrier tape must be used include:

• Commissioning/Decommissioning of live equipment;

• Restricting access because of a fire line;

• Identifying a confined space (work in progress);

• Tripping hazards such as uneven floor or surfaces under repair;

• Cordoning off an accident investigation site, and;

• Flagging off floor area because of overhead work in progress to warn against

a fall hazard.

Note: When used as a warning for fall hazards barrier tape must be placed a minimum of 6 feet from the fall hazard. Fall protection equipment must be worn if people are within the barricaded area (less




than 6 feet from the fall hazard).

It is a major safety infraction for any unauthorized person(s) to enter an area marked with barrier tape. All barrier tape must be removed from the site only by the person who affixed it at the time the work is completed or at the time the hazard no longer exists.

The standard barrier tape used in all ArcelorMittal Dofasco applications must be (yellow) “Danger, Authorized Entry Only”. (Note: Yellow: “Fire Line, Do not cross” may only be used by the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Fire Department.)

When barrier tape is used, it is the responsibility of the site contact person to ensure that orange identifying tags are affixed around the perimeter of the barrier taped area. As a minimum, an identification tag must be affixed at each point of entry into the area. The identification tag must be completed as follows:

Barrier tape must only be removed by the Site Contact Person. Where barrier tape is in place and it is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that the barrier tape be removed, and the site contact person cannot be contacted, the barrier tape may be removed only after the most SENIOR Operating or Maintenance person from the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Business Unit / Department determines that it is safe to do so. Whenever barrier is removed by persons other than the site contact person, a “Lock or Barrier Tape Removal” form must be completed to document the removal. Contact the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Project Manager / Coordinator for information.

2.11 LADDERS

Design, construction, maintenance and instruction in the use of ladders are a requirement of Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and its Regulations for Industrial Establishments and Construction Projects.

User Responsibilities

• Ladders must be in good condition and equipped with safety feet

• Place the ladder securely against a solid surface at a safe angle. • Recommended angle is 1 foot out for every four feet of ladder height (4:1) • All extension ladders must be held by another person until secured.




• If the ladder cannot be secured, then it must continue to be held until the work is performed. • Short term/minor tasks (e.g., service or inspection, measuring/calibration, changing lights or filters,

attaching or removing slings, turning a valve) may be performed from a ladder provided you can face the ladder; keep your center of gravity between the side rails and lean into the ladder.

• For long term/major task (e.g. replacing equipment, installing insulation, rebuilding equipment, using

heavy tools) performed 1.8 meters (6 feet) or more above ground level, fall protection equipment with

a suitable anchor point, must be worn.

• Keep hands free. Carry tools in suitable pouches or hoist them with a rope.

• Never stand on the top two rungs or steps of a ladder

• It is dangerous to reach out from a ladder in any direction.

• Climb down and move the ladder as required. • Clean mud, grease, snow, etc. from boots before climbing a ladder • There should never be more than one person on a ladder at any one time • A safety person must be positioned at the base of a ladder if a hazard exists from moving equipment.

• When necessary to place a ladder in front of a door / opening, the door / opening must be locked, or

blocked Rolling or trolley ladders must have proper working brakes. • Step ladders must be fully opened, locked, and on level ground before using When using ladders on roofs

or other high places lash them securely. • When working close to electrical equipment, use only fiberglass ladders • Extending or lowering an extension ladder takes two people. • Be aware of pinch points. • Tie off elevating rope to avoid entanglement while climbing. If possible, the ladder should be carried

by two people. • When two people are carrying a ladder, have one person close to each end so that neither end will

be projected enough to be dangerous. • If a ladder is light enough to be carried alone, carry it with the feet to the rear and the front elevated

so it will be above the head of anyone in front of you.

• If overhead clearance is limited, carry a ladder at your side with the feet to the rear and grasp it by

the side rail. Do not weld from an aluminum ladder.

2.12 NO SMOKING POLICY

In accordance with the Ontario Smoke-Free Act, smoking/vaping is not permitted in any building, or part of a building where employees work, as well as employee eating, changing and rest areas, and any vehicle/crane cab etc., vessel or conveyance in which employees work.

Third party leadership is responsible for ensuring that everyone complies with this policy. A leader who permits smoking or an employee who violates these rules will be subject to disciplinary action.

In accordance with the law, any employer who permits smoking or any person who violates the law may, upon conviction, be fined.




2.13 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

2.13.1 General Requirements The personal protective equipment necessary for each business unit will be discussed at and stated on the Safe Work Permit Meeting Form. It will also be specified on the Business Unit Site Specific document. Specific or additional protection for the work being performed must be evaluated by the Third-party employer.

All personal protective equipment deemed necessary by either ArcelorMittal Dofasco and/or the Third-Party employer to protect the health and safety of the Third-party employee(s) is to be supplied by the Third-party employer.

As a minimum, the following personal protective equipment is required in all ArcelorMittal Dofasco plant areas (unless specified otherwise)

• CSA approved Hard Hat (minimum Type 1 top impact) • Note: Sikhs who are required to wear a hard hat on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property can

maintain their religious observance by wearing a “Patka” under their hard hat instead of the turban. It is expected that employees will make their own provision.

• CSA approved High Impact Sealed Safety Glasses– whether prescription or non-prescription. • CSA approved Safety Boots (Grade 1 or Green Patch) – shoes are not permitted (some areas or

some tasks may require additional metatarsal guards) • Long sleeved shirts and long pants • CSA approved traffic vest

All personal protective equipment must be inspected regularly and be in a condition that provides the protection. Do NOT Wear There are also a number of items which may NOT be worn in any ArcelorMittal Dofasco plant areas:

• Contact lenses

• Finger rings

• Loose or torn clothing (to avoid possibility of unintentional entanglement)

• Dangling jewelry

• Long hair (must be confined – tucked up inside hard hat)

2.13.2 Respiratory Protection The Third-party employer is responsible to ensure that any Third-party employee who wears a respirator has been fit-tested to ensure they have the correct type (model and size), a good fit, and are wearing the respirator properly.

The fit of respirators can be affected by long hair or beards so Third-party employees who are required to wear respirators must be clean-shaven in the area where the mask contacts the face.

Respiratory Protection Training:




Training the users is one of the most important parts of any respiratory protection program. It is impossible for a respirator to operate at maximum efficiency if the respirator is not worn as it was designed to be worn.

If an employee is expected to wear a respirator as part of their job they must be adequately trained in

the following: • The nature, extent and health effects of the air contaminant;

• Why the respirator is to be worn;

• Face piece inspection

• Maintenance and storage procedures;

• Explanation of the limitations of the respirator, and;

• Factors that may interfere with the face-to-face piece seal (e.g., facial hair, absence of

dentures, prescription glasses, facial scars etc.).

2.14 PHYSICAL HAZARDS

2.14.1 Noise The use of hearing protection is mandatory at eighty-five (85) dB(A) averaged over 8 hrs in accordance with Ontario’s Regulations for Industrial Establishments. Refer to area specific information.

2.14.2 Lasers

When working on or around lasers contact the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Business Unit Representative for required controls. Third parties needing to bring a class 3B or class 4 laser to ArcelorMittal Dofasco require the approval of the Health & Safety Department.

2.14.3 Ionizing Radiation At ArcelorMittal Dofasco, we use many different radiation devices to monitor the steel product and process. These devices are used to measure moisture in coke, to measure liquid levels in tanks, to measure steel thickness, and to look for defects in welds.

There are two major types of radiation sources at ArcelorMittal Dofasco:

• Isotopes – The isotope sources are contained in shielded source holders that have a shutter mechanism to prevent any radiation from escaping when they are not in use.

• X-rays – are produced in electrically powered tubes and used to monitor or analyze processes or materials.

Signs are posted in areas where radiation sources are present.

Ionizing radiation is present whenever the warning light(s) on the device indicates there is power to the X-ray tube or the isotope shutter is open. When working on or around radiation devices, the




shutter(s) must be closed and locked or the source isolated.

Third party employees engaged in radiation work such as radiographic testing of welds, etc. must conform to all applicable Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission regulations for Industrial Radiography.

When warning signs are placed by a technician performing work, they must be obeyed by all personnel.

2.15 RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES

Radio frequency transmitting devices are becoming more prevalent. Radio frequency transmitting devices approved for the US or other parts of Canada may not be approved for use in the Hamilton area. Signal interference can occur both inside ArcelorMittal Dofasco and in the public airwaves as the signal emanates outside of ArcelorMittal Dofasco. This includes but is not limited to the following types of equipment:

• 2-way radios

• RF remote controlled equipment

• RF data or video links

Unauthorized radio frequency transmitting devices (excepting cellular services) can conflict with existing ArcelorMittal Dofasco equipment posing a real safety risk to people (employees, Third party employees, and visitors) in the plant and surrounding area (Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Burlington). They can cause equipment to start up or shut down unexpectedly. Some radio frequencies even operate on the same frequency as heart rate monitors in nearby hospitals.

Radio frequency transmitting devices being brought onto ArcelorMittal Dofasco property must first be approved. The ArcelorMittal Dofasco representative should contact Manager responsible for Radio Repair.

2.16 SECURITY AND GATE ACCESS

Use of ArcelorMittal Dofasco Inc. Facilities

Access through ArcelorMittal Dofasco gates will not be permitted without prior authorization. All appropriate personal protective equipment and general health and safety precautions must be adhered to.

2.16.1 Inspection of US Bound Shipments

US bound carriers will be subject to vehicle inspections by ArcelorMittal Dofasco Security as per CTPAT requirements. Drivers will be expected to turn off the engine and exit the vehicle during the inspection process.




2.16.2 Traffic and Parking Regulations

Plant Traffic Offences Include the Following: • Exceeding Posted Speed Limit • Careless Driving • Driving on a Restricted Roadway / Prohibited Area • Disobeying Stop Sign • Illegal turn • Failure to Yield the Right of Way • Prohibited Passing • Prohibited Parking (including obstruction of rail, doorways, fire lanes & unauthorized areas) • Use of hand held electronic devices (cell phones) • Seat Belt violations

Posted speed limits on all ArcelorMittal Dofasco roadways and traffic signs (e.g. stop signs) must be adhered to. Maximum speed is 35 km/hr unless otherwise posted. Passing is not permitted with the exception of slow moving equipment where extreme caution must be taken to ensure it can be done safely and the maximum posted speed limit is not exceeded. Large mobile equipment is not considered to be a slow-moving vehicle, unless the equipment is performing road maintenance (e.g. graders, street washers, nail pickers). A ‘laser speed detection system’ is used to enforce the speed limit.

Driveways, laneways, or emergency vehicle routes must not be blocked or restricted at any time. Restricted heavy equipment access routes are strictly off limits. Violations of ArcelorMittal Dofasco traffic rules are considered to be a major safety infraction and progressive discipline will be followed. The first offence may result in a written warning, a second offence within a one-year period may result in a one-day suspension or suspension of driving privileges on ArcelorMittal Dofasco property for one (1) month. Depending on the severity of the offence, a written warning may be omitted and revoking approval and issuing a trespassing notice to the person may be issued.

Parking violations that are safety related will be treated as a violation of traffic rules.

2.17 TRANSPORTATION OF DANGEROUS GOODS (TDG) All suppliers and carriers must ensure that their trucks and hoses are in test. Requirements are given in CSA B620 as listed in the TDG Regulation. Questions of clarification should be directed to the TDG Directorate (http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tdg/menu.htm). It is ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s expectation that trucks, and hoses be in test 100% of the time. If a chemical is listed as a dangerous good, the person loading and unloading must be one of:

• A TDG certified employee

• A TDG certified driver

• Supervised by a TDG certified. Additional personal protective equipment (PPE) when offloading corrosive chemicals (caustics and

http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tdg/menu.htm




acids) shall include PPE to protect the hands, feet, full face, upper and lower body.

2.18 WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION SYSTEM (WHMIS)/Global Harmonization System

2.18.1 Education and Training All Third-party employees must be trained in WHMIS/GHS requirements and have proof of annual training available.

2.18.2 Labelling Third party employers are required to ensure that any products brought onto ArcelorMittal Dofasco property by the Third-party company are properly labelled with either a supplier label or a workplace label.

2.18.3 Safety Data Sheets and Chemical Inventory Unless otherwise specified in writing by the Third-Party employer and ArcelorMittal Dofasco, the third party will:

• Identify during the “Safe Work Permit Meeting” the materials to be used on the job

• Have a list or inventory of all chemicals being brought by the Third party to the job site,

• Up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

The chemical inventory should contain: • The name of the product • Location where the product will be used or stored.

The SDS must be maintained and readily accessible throughout the course of work. Have an up-to-date written emergency response plan which outlines actions to be taken by the contracting employees in the event of a leak, spill, fire or explosion.

Third party employers are responsible to ensure:

• Control measures appropriate to the product brought onto ArcelorMittal Dofasco property are implemented

• Chemical containers (drums / totes) are labelled as to content and in good condition and impermeable to the chemicals they contain.

• Non-compatible chemicals are to be segregated.

• All applicable safety marks, labelling, placarding, and documentation are used.

• They are in constant attendance when loading / unloading a storage tank.

• Ensure that valves and nozzles are locked in the closed position when not engaged.

Specific Personal Protective Equipment: Corporate Standard Specific Major Emergency Evacuation Procedures ArcelorMittal Dofasco Area Supervision will ensure evacuation of any driver(s) if a Major Emergency Response Plan (MERP) situation occurs and provide direction to the nearest MERP staging area. Specific Safety Rules: All shipping / receiving documents exchanged between Carrier drivers and Central Shipping personnel must be kept clean and in a sanitary condition. Do your part to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Keep the carrier worksheets flat. This helps the Operators in scanning the worksheet to begin the loading process. Remote Marshalling Yard

• Use the KIOSK to register into our Truck Coordination System.

• You will be provided with a Carrier Worksheet that you will take back to your truck and




throughout the rest of the process. • Tune to FM 89.3 for directions from the Truck Coordinator or the Truck Coordinator screen

in waiting areas. • When leaving the yard, you are required to STOP before entering onto Strathearne Avenue. • Check for traffic in either direction to ensure you have safe clearances before proceeding.

Entrance into the Warehouse Complex

• The Truck Coordinator manages the flow of all vehicles into the Central Shipping Warehouse.

• An electronic sign over the entrance door indicates who has been approved to enter. • Keep your radio set to FM 89.3 for any last-minute maneuvering instructions particularly

when inside the building. • Be aware of vehicles backing out of the 300 series doors. (Trucks are not allowed to back

out of Central Shipping without authorization from the Truck Coordinator and the load must be secured.)

• Pedestrians must stay at least 35 feet away from the doors when walking to the south side of the Marshalling Yard.

• At no time is a Carrier permitted to enter the Central Shipping complex without the consent of the Truck Coordinator.

• All shipping and exit doors are controlled by sensors. Ensure the door is fully open and the traffic light is green before advancing.

Controlling Equipment Inside Central Shipping higher than 12 feet. • All Stacker Crane masts in Central Shipping are twelve (12) feet above the floor and always constant. • Anything higher than this height is susceptible to contact by the Stacker Crane.

Two areas of concern are:

1. Splitting of trailers inside Central Shipping Warehouse There is a potential for damage / injury if the trailer flips up while the Stacker Crane is bridging or trolleying over the unit at the same time. This has occurred due to too much weight on the front of the pup or the legs failed. All carriers/drivers must receive approval from the Warehouse Co-ordinator prior to the splitting of trailers. If you need to separate the unit for loading / unloading practices, contact the Warehouse Co-ordinator. They will assist in ensuring the Stacker Crane(s) will not drive over the top of the Pup until properly positioned.

2. Conestoga Tarping Systems.

Truck Drivers WILL position moveable Conestoga tarp systems to the front of the trailer and always provide adequate clearances for safe and damage free loading prior to entry to warehouse dependent on weather. Exceptions will be reported to the Warehouse Coordinator for further discussions. Based on bunk placement / design, drivers may be requested by the Stacker Crane Operators to reposition the tarp system to provide for damage free loading / unloading.

• Truck Drivers WILL ENSURE they provide sufficient clearances at all times allowing the Stacker Crane easy access onto the trailer.

• Truck Drivers MUST NOT open or close the Conestoga tarp system unless they ensure the




Stacker Crane is clear of the truck dock or travelling away from the intended direction of travel with the tarp system.

• Tarps MUST be secured back so they do not encroach into the adjacent lane(s) prior to entry to warehouse dependent on weather.

Sharing Workspace During any loading / unloading process that places the Operator in a position where the Stacker Crane must share / use the adjacent lane to service a vehicle, the Truck driver and the Stacker Crane Operator/ Stacker Crane are potentially at risk due to unexpected movement. To control this unexpected movement, ensure these safe practices are followed:

• If the Truck Driver is preparing their truck or waiting to be loaded in the same building, the Stacker Crane Operator must communicate their intentions and ensure the driver is in a safe position at all times.

• If the Truck Driver is in their cab waiting to advance to the next building, the Stacker Crane Operator must communicate their intentions of using the area to load the adjacent vehicle to the Carrier and instruct them not to pull ahead until clearance has been granted by the Stacker Crane Operator.

Vehicle / Pedestrian Interaction Central Shipping Warehouse is a unique operation that can load and unload a considerable number of large vehicles (e.g., Customer Trucks and Transporter Decks) at the same time. In doing so, these vehicles are constantly moving within Central Shipping from building to building and sometimes in close proximity to people. To minimize vehicle and people interaction, the following are to be considered:

• People are to use safe walkways as defined in all buildings within Central Shipping.

• At no time shall a truck driver put themselves in the path of a crane, another carrier, Transporter or Transporter deck.

• Truck drivers entering into an adjacent area (next to their tractor / trailer to chain or tarp their load) where potential unexpected movement may exist, are to exercise extreme caution and be cognizant of their surroundings.

• Truck drivers shall be trained in and maintain documented safe operating practices on the topics of tarping, chaining, basic operator safety check, trailer housekeeping and visibility techniques.

• It is imperative to check for traffic in both directions. • All trucks entering Central Shipping are asked to outfit their units with back up horn

systems to help alert pedestrians and any working personnel in the immediate work area. In most cases, the truck does backup up across a pedestrian walkway in the truck dock area.

• Designated walkways identified with WHITE tips on the Structure barriers are provided and are to be used only when crossing the truck dock lanes. Pedestrian crossings are to be used with extreme caution – look both ways.

• Truck Drivers must ensure they do not obstruct these walkways at any time.

Warehouse Traffic Flows




• At times carriers have difficulty adjusting to lighting conditions while just entering the Warehouse.

• Carriers are required to proceed with caution and STOP just inside the door and check to ensure no stacker cranes are present in the loading area.

• The Driver may commence entry ONLY when the loading area is clear or when directed to do so by the Stacker Crane Operator. Area is considered clear when both Stacker Cranes have entered the coil rack storage areas.

• The above stated process MUST take place at each and every bay as you

travel through Central Shipping.

• Drivers must stop advancing if they hear a siren and only proceed if the

way is clear.

• S top signs are strategically placed at each building to ensure everyone’s safety.

• Trucks moving from building to building must exercise caution and stop before proceeding

to ensure the stacker crane is not in the loading bay.

• DO NOT ENTER if either of the stacker cranes are present in the loading bay and NEVER travel underneath a stacker crane.

• Stacker cranes do have blind spots (i.e. two blind spots). These blind spots are identified on the stacker crane cab as you approach. When approaching a stacker crane, approach on an angle toward the open side so the operator can see you.

• When entering the Warehouse, locate the stacker crane and determine travel direction of the crane. Note each area has two cranes sharing a common runway.

• Always YIELD the right of way to any stacker cranes in the loading bays. • You must check for clearances before proceeding. • Stacker crane mast clearance is twelve (12) feet above the floor. At no time should a Driver

elevate themselves above the height of the trailer deck boards while inside the Warehouse. If unavoidable, the drivers must:

• Coordinate this need with the Crane Operators to ensure the Driver and Stacker Crane is never in close proximity while elevating above the trailer deck height.

Whenever possible, all trucks should prepare their trailers for loading in the Marshalling Yard prior to being called into the Warehouse. Once inside, the Truck Driver must stay at the front of the trailer in a constant position and wait for the Stacker Crane Operator to approach.

• Carriers must ensure any exhaust emissions are not directed into the cabs of any of the stacker cranes.

• When loading / unloading in the Warehouse, the carrier is to be located on the truck trailer while the load is being placed, but must be in clear view of the loader. The best position is on the same side as the stacker crane cab.

• Carrier drivers must assist in load placement by directing coil positioning and provide direction on equipment clearances to the Stacker Crane Operator using recognized crane signals

• Drivers need to position themselves in the position that provides the best vantage point to give proper direction to ensure clearances for their own equipment.

• Typically, these occur on the Stacker Crane Operators' blind side and we require the driver’s eyes to guide the stacker crane out of the trailer when placing material or removing the stacker crane in constrictive loading areas.




• Carrier operators should verify and ensure product quality immediately after being loaded within warehouse. Defects should be reported to area supervision.

• Carriers must ensure adequate load securement prior to exiting the warehouse.

• Carriers, upon completion of loading/ unloading, should make every effort to move ahead to the tarping area when safe to do so.

• Trucks exit door 303 series (East Side) and must turn left onto Central Shipping Crescent, as it is a one-way road.

• At the north end of the Warehouse there is a chaining/ tarping area for the drivers as well as washroom facilities.

• Drivers to ensure the kits are secured properly as to prevent movement.

Transporters and Railcars Transporters deliver and return material to and from the mills. Give the right of way to these vehicles at all times. Transporters back into buildings No.1, 2, 5, 6 and 10 through door 300-1, 300-5, 303-1 and 303-5. Access is controlled through the Truck Co-ordinator. When approaching Gate 13, STOP and LOOK for rail traffic approaching from either direction. These rail crossings are unguarded and require extra caution when crossing.

Main Yard and Roadways

• All trucks enter Gate 13 from the Remote Marshalling yard, after receiving clearance from the Truck Coordinator and park in the Main Marshalling Yard.

• Yard is split up between the north and south yards, both of which are located outside the west wall of the Warehouse.

• Approximately 14 designated parking spots for customer and storage trucks. • Gate 13 Road is the only north-south roadway and is continually busy. Carriers and
