General UBC-wide Emergency Procedures General UBC-wide emergency procedures are published by HSE ( for emergency preparedness, earthquake, spill response and others. 6

7 YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM MANUAL Safety is a priority at UBC. All persons who come to UBC should expect to be safe, are required to carry out their activities in a safe manner and to seek appropriate assistance on matters of safety where their knowledge is limited. Resources are available on campus through the Department of Health Safety and Environment ( ) which is staffed by health and safety experts who are here to assist you. All University facilities are subject to the Workers Compensation Act (WCA) of British Columbia. The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations set by the Board describe the conditions that must be met in order to satisfy the Act. The University and all individuals who carry out activities in university faculties or programs are legally required to ensure they maintain the requirements of the Regulation and are obligated to control their activities and the activities of persons they are supervising according to the Regulation in these areas. This applies regardless of eligibility for compensation under the Act. Note that persons who are not employed (e.g. undergraduate students, volunteers and visitors from the general public) are typically not eligible for compensation. The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR) is located at: The Workers Compensation Act (WCA) is located at: The UBC Safety Program Policy is located at: UNIT REQUIREMENTS 1. Each administrative Unit shall have a Health and Safety Program Manual that specifies all the elements of its local Health and Safety Program. 2. The Unit s safety rules and safe work procedures shall be itemised in the document or in a separate document. 3. The completed manual must be available to all Unit personnel, ensuring that they are aware of their responsibilities and safe work procedures. 4. Fire plans and evacuation routes that are specific to the area(s) are to be included in the document or in a separate document. 5. The manual should be reviewed and updated annually. 7

9 Department Safety Policy The Department s policy on Safety is as follows: 1. Safety is an integral part of every activity that occurs in the department s facilities and programs. Every person carrying out activities is responsible for doing so safely and should ensure that their activities maintain the safety of others. 2. As a department we strive to set examples of best practices in safety compliance and management in all activities, including coursework, teaching, research, support services and extracurricular activities. 3. Faculty members are expected to maintain the safety of the public. In addition, as an expert in her or his respective field each member should strive to demonstrate best practices to students. 4. The primary responsibility for the control of safety of any activity rests with the supervisor, i.e. the person(s) who authorize the activities, particularly with regard to activities involving students, notwithstanding the fact that every participant in an activity has a responsibility to act safely and to protect others from harm. 5. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that any and all individuals who are visiting or working in their labs have adequate safety training and orientation, as well as adequate training to handle any and all equipment they may come in contact with. 6. Recent changes in Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in BC now make it a requirement to have an auditable record of training for every employee and that any required training is completed prior to the performance of work. Supervisors are responsible to ensure that persons working in their charge complete training and submit a copy of the record of training to the Department Administrator. The supervisor must ensure that adequate training on lab area procedures, equipment, materials and machinery use is carried out and that the trainee has demonstrated competence prior to working without direct supervision. 7. Students and employees are required to have read through the safety manual and signed and completed the personal safety checklist. 8. All activities must be carried out in compliance with all applicable safety regulations, bylaws and University policies. 9

10 Unsafe Work According to Provincial law in British Columbia, a person is allowed to refuse to perform work that is unsafe. At UBC this applies to any activity that is carried out on campus, including classroom work and research activities by graduate students, etc., by virtue of UBC Policy #7. Your supervisor can not require that you perform dangerous activities that you are not qualified to do, particularly if there are regulations requiring that only licensed individuals perform such work. Examples of areas of regulated work include but are not limited to electrical work, gas piping and delivery systems, pressure vessels and boilers, use of lifts, cranes and elevating devices, hazardous materials handling, etc. If you have questions about safety regulatory issues related to an activity you plan to undertake, please contact HSE. Worksafe BC OHS Regulation 3.12 ( ctionnumber:3.12) details the procedure and requirements for refusing unsafe work. Note that if you carry out an activity that is subject to regulation without possessing required certifications and you are involved in an accident, you may invalidate any claims for injury compensation and may also become personally liable for any injuries, damages or fines that result from your actions, as may the person who directed you to perform the activity. 10

36 5. SAFE WORK RULES AND PROCEDURES Unit Requirements WorkSafeBC requires Units to provide appropriate written instructions for all work tasks. Written safe work rules and procedures are formulated to meet WorkSafeBC, UBC and, if applicable, manufacturer s requirements. Safe work procedures should be developed to eliminate or effectively control the hazards in the Unit. To meet this requirement: Senior management and supervisors are to formulate site-specific health and safety rules and safe work procedures Management will continually provide the necessary resources to ensure that health and safety rules and safe work procedures are effective Management, the Safety Program Administrator, supervisors, and Health and Safety Committee members are to review accident and injury statistics on a regular basis to ensure that established rules and procedures are providing the Unit with the safest work practices. Health and safety rules are to be posted in the work areas and specific work procedures are to be made accessible to all employees in the areas where they apply. Supervisors are to ensure that: Health and safety rules and safe work procedures are communicated initially to workers during orientation and on-the-job training Health and safety rules and safe work procedures are reviewed regularly at staff Health and Safety meetings. Workers are aware of the hazards associated with their work and understand how safe work procedures will prevent or minimize injury. Rules and procedures are enforced by immediately correcting unsafe acts or conditions. All employees are expected to follow established rules and procedures. 36

37 5.1 Ladders and Scaffolding Credits: This section from and Discussion: Ladders and Scaffolding Basic Ladder Safety Ladders must be in good condition and be used and stored safely. Check for broken or missing steps and report to supervisor. If used in doorways or passageways they must be protected from being bumped or knocked over. Mobile ladders must be locked to prevent movement when in use. No worker is to remain on a rolling ladder while it is being moved. Remove all tools from the platform before moving a mobile ladder Ladder Safety Details Although there is always a risk in working on elevated areas, evidence has shown that the vast majority of accidents involving ladders result from the failure to exercise care. Proper training as well as routine inspections and maintenance can substantially reduce the number of ladder-related injuries. On any job requiring a ladder, use only approved sturdy ladders that you can place on a firm base. Inspect the ladder prior to EVERY use. Do not use ladders with structural defects and ensure that unsafe ladders are properly tagged with "Do Not Use" tags and are withdrawn from service. Use a ladder only for the purpose for which it was designed (refer to manufacturer's labeling and recommendations). Use only non-conductive side rails around live electrical equipment. Wear protective clothing and rubber-soled shoes. Carry ladders parallel to the ground. Tie ladders down securely when transporting. Barricade traffic areas in the vicinity of ladder use, and lock, barricade or guard doorways in which a ladder is placed. Keep the area around the top and bottom of the ladder clear. Whenever possible, angle out the base one-fourth of the ladder's working length. The ladder should reach at least one metre above the landing. 37

38 Extension ladders shall be kept from slipping or tipping by tying off the ladder at the top and securing the ladder at the bottom. Portable ladders in use shall be tied, blocked or otherwise secured to prevent their being displaced. Face the ladder while climbing and use both hands. Lift equipment and materials with a rope specifically for that purpose--don't carry the equipment up a ladder with one hand. Carry smaller tools in pouches around the waist. Do not load the ladder beyond its maximum intended load. Never allow more than one worker on the ladder at a time. Never stand on the top two steps of any ladder or the top cap of a step ladder. This could cause you to become off-balance resulting in a fall. Do not stand on the back cross bracing. Always maintain at least three points of contact with the ladder (2 feet and 1 hand, or 2 hands and 1 foot should be in contact with the ladder at all times). Do not over-extend sideways; use the belt buckle rule: Keep your belt buckle positioned between the side rails at all times--this will maintain your center of gravity in the proper position. Do not move, shift, or extend the ladder while you are standing on it. Never walk a ladder. Maintain ladders free of oil, grease and other hazards. Scaffolding (Must check with Safety Program Administrator) Scaffolding should be used if solid footing or a safe ladder is not available. Caster brakes should be set before an employee gets on a scaffold. If no brakes are available, another employee should be in position to secure the scaffold. Scaffolding shall be secured at intervals of 5m to a solid support. Securing will be by wire, cable, chain or rope. Ladders, boxes, etc. should not be moved with employee(s) or materials on the scaffold. Scaffolding shall not be moved until its height is reduced below 5m. Sufficient help shall be used to move the scaffold. A "watcher" shall be posted to watch for overhead obstructions as well as holes, etc. at ground level. Guard rails and toe boards are required on any scaffold over 2m high. Flooring shall be solid from side-to-side and secured in place with cleats. It is your responsibility to keep all tools and materials away from the edges of the scaffold and platform openings. Scaffolding over 15m shall be inspected by UBC Health, Safety and Environment. 38

39 5.2 Unistrut This section assumes the unistrut has already been properly and safely installed. As of 2009, unistrut is only installed in the ICICS labs. 1. When using ladder brackets and fastening ladders to unistrut, follow the safety procedures in the section Ladders and Scaffolding. 2. Any equipment fastened to the unistrut should be tethered. 3. Any individual wishing to fasten equipment or do experiment using the unistrut should get prior approval from the ICICS Lab Manager Gable Yeung at: All new projects which introduce hazards suchs as ladders, unistrut, chemical, compressed gas etc must be approved by the ICICS/CS Safety Program Administrator. 39

43 6. HAZARD ASSESSMENTS AND WORKSITE INSPECTIONS Unit Requirements WorkSafeBC requires that Units ensure that hazards to the health and safety of workers are identified and brought to management's attention. It is management s responsibility to ensure that the identified hazards are eliminated or, where this is not practical, controlled, and that workers are protected from the hazards. Worksite hazard assessments and inspections are key activities in the prevention of accidents. Their purposes are to: Identify existing and potential hazards Increase awareness leading to the prevention of workplace accidents and illnesses Ensure compliance with standards and regulations. To meet this requirement, Units are to: Conduct Hazard Assessments prior to all new projects, jobs, processes, equipment or hazardous materials Conduct regular Worksite Inspections. Provide all necessary resources to ensure that hazard assessments and workplace inspections are effective. These include: a. Hazard recognition and inspection training for those conducting inspections b. Time for inspectors to complete their duties c. Established communication channels between inspectors, the local Health and Safety Committee and senior management d. Quick action on recommended corrections. Document all assessments and inspections. Hazard Assessments / Task Analyses A hazard assessment or task health and safety analysis is recommended prior to the start of any new project, task or job. Its purpose is to anticipate, as much as is reasonable, any hazards that are inherent or could arise out of a new project, task or job. Once the hazards have been identified, the controls for eliminating or minimizing these hazards can then be determined and implemented. Hazard assessments should also be undertaken when major modifications are made to a project, task or job. The Task Hazard Analysis Form referenced in this document is designed for general use. More specific hazard assessment/analysis forms may need to be used, depending on the nature of the work and risks involved. For assistance in developing a hazard assessment form or completing an assessment, call Health, Safety and Environment at

44 Workplace Inspections Following are the four types of workplace inspections to be conducted: 1. Informal Workplace Inspections This is accomplished by supervisors conducting regular walk-through of their areas of responsibility and by workers checking their work areas prior to commencing work. All employees are expected to maintain continual awareness of hazards in their work areas. No formal inspection report is required; however, any detected hazards must be corrected immediately if the task is within the employee s capabilities. If not, the hazard should be reported to the area supervisor or management for correction. 2. Regular Workplace Inspections Work areas will be inspected on a regular basis by the area supervisor or a designate. For most environments, these inspections should be conducted monthly. In some low risk environments, these inspections can be conducted on a less frequent regular basis. Each supervisor (in conjunction with the SPA) will develop a site-specific inspection checklist. The inspection checklists will be completed for each inspection and each supervisor must regularly review and update his/her checklist as required. The completed reports shall be forwarded to the SPA on a quarterly basis for review. The SPA will provide summaries for the head and the local Health and Safety Committee to review. The Committee is responsible for ensuring inspections are completed regularly, reviewing inspection reports and providing recommendations. The area supervisor must ensure that corrective action is taken so that the hazard is eliminated or controlled. 3. Health and Safety Committees Inspections Health and Safety Committee Inspections are formal workplace inspections that are conducted by local Health and Safety Committee members at least semi-annually. An Inspection Report is completed and copies sent to the supervisor of the inspected area, the SPA and the Health and Safety Committee for review. The area supervisor must ensure that corrective action is taken to eliminate or control identified hazards. 4. Special Inspections Special inspections take place immediately after a malfunction/accident, when new machinery or processes are introduced, or as required by manufacture instructions. The area supervisor and a worker representative conduct this type of inspection, along with a specialist when necessary. An inspection report must be completed and distributed to the SPA and local Health and Safety Committee for review. 44

45 An investigation may also be required for certain incidents (see element 7 Accident/Incident Investigations). The area supervisor must ensure that any existing unsafe conditions are effectively controlled before commencing an inspection or investigation. 45

49 7. ACCIDENT/INCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS The purpose of accident reporting and investigating is to identify deficiencies in the management of health and safety, take steps to correct these deficiencies, and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Unit Requirements Units are required to report the following incidents to Health, Safety and Environment (HSE): Work-related injury. The report must be made within 24 hours of the occurrence. Disabling occupational disease or allegations of an occupational disease. The report must be made within 24 hours of receiving notification from the worker. Work-related death. The report must be made immediately. The HSE Department is responsible for reporting this information to WorkSafeBC. WorkSafeBC requires Units to investigate any accident which: Resulted in serious injury or death of a worker Resulted in injury/illness to a worker requiring medical treatment Resulted in injury/illness to a worker requiring time loss from work Involved a major structural failure Involved a major release of a hazardous substance Was a blasting or diving accident Had the potential to cause serious injury/illness Management will provide all tools and resources necessary for investigations to be effective. These include: Accident investigation training for investigators Time made available to allow investigators to complete their duties Quick action on recommended corrective actions to prevent recurrence of similar situations. Accident/Incident Reporting For all employees, the UBC Faculty and Staff Incident/Accident Report must be promptly and fully completed for all applicable incidents or accidents, and sent in to HSE within 24 hours. For students and visitors, the UBC Student and Visitor Incident/Accident Report must be fully completed. Forms may be obtained by calling Health, Safety and Environment at

50 Accident Investigation The investigation on an incident must take place as soon as possible after an incident s occurrence. The investigation team must consist of an area supervisor and an employee representative. Each investigator is required to be trained on investigation procedures as well as be knowledgeable of the work performed at the time of the accident. The UBC Faculty & Staff Accident Investigation Report (the second page for the Incident/Accident Report) must be completed and sent in to HSE within 3 business days. A copy of the report must be provided to management and the Safety Committee for recommendations and implementation of corrective actions.
