REGIONAL NEWS BCPCA REPORT FOR SPRING 2017 By Rob Bateman The highlight for early 2017 has been the completion of a review by the ITA Industrial Training Authority of BC of program documentation for the certified trades of Petroleum Equipment Installer and Petroleum Service Technician The review was centred on the Program Profile the Program Outline and the Certificate of Qualification exam and was conducted over two workshops of two days and three days respectively and involved eight different experienced and ITA certified subject matter experts from three BCPCA BC Petroleum Contractors Association member companies Two ITA representatives managed the process on both sessions Our intent was to update the Occupational Analysis Chart and then update and improve the exam questions The last session which was to deal with the exams ended on May 5th The new and improved exams will be available in July for those challenging them Apprenticeship hours was another topic under discussion It was determined in the early sessions that the requirement for qualifying apprenticeship hours for each designation installer or service tech would be 4 500 hours instead of 6 000 and 9 000 hours It was established at these meetings and in meetings with the ITA executive committees that the ITA would no longer be responsible for updating or maintaining training material and that BCPCA would create a list and keep on hand the specialized reference material for challengers BCPCA member companies will be encouraged to have this material in their possession in an on site library A list has been established and will be available for review on both the BCPCA and ITA websites Prior to the sessions the BCPCA Board invited CPCA executives Michelle Rae and Marcus Cormier to attend a meeting January 12 2017 with the ITA staff to present the TSSA CPCA Technical Standards and Safety Authority Canadian Petroleum Contractors Association learning material and the program This was done to bring ITA up to date on our working relationship with CPCA regarding our mutual desire to standardize Canadian petroleum industry technical training and certification We also wanted to showcase the updated CPCA material and programs and explore the possibility of incorporating common training manuals We would like to have the CPCA program available to BC technicians who could also after satisfying the ITA stipulated apprenticeship hours challenge the ITA exams to obtain certified trade status This is an ongoing process when it concerns inter provincial labour mobility and we have confirmed that out ofprovince technicians with the requisite hours can challenge both ITA Installer and Service Technician exams to obtain a trade ticket British Columbia still does not have a regulatory body to oversee the installation and maintenance of petroleum based fuel systems ITA has agreed to give us some assistance And while their support on our initiative is very limited they do recognize the need and can convey our concerns in this regard to their contacts within the trade training community CALGARY OCTOBER 3 4 2017 WESTERN CANADA S LARGEST CONVENIENCE GAS WASH INDUSTRY EVENT OF THE YEAR 4 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR JUNE 2017 ConvenienceU ca NEWS FROM OPCA By Ken Jamieson President Conservation Ontario s Drinking Water Source Protection DWSP program Last spring Chitra Gowra and Ryan Post of Conservation Ontario attended an OPCA Board meeting and provided an overview of their initiative for mandatory risk management plans based on the government s Clean Water Act Ryan provided an overview of the program showing how the regions are broken down across Ontario the various threats to water sources key vulnerable areas and the risk management requirements for the handling and storage of fuels Our Board noted there are many facilities that need upgrades some owners cannot afford specifically independent sites Chitra indicated the government is looking at reestablishing their stewardship program We also felt the government needs to step in with respect to abandoned sites We recommended that Conservation Ontario also work with Federal regulators e g NFC committee We expressed our support for their initiative and offered our assistance if needed The Clean Water Act 2006 is part of the multi barrier approach of the Government of Ontario to ensure clean safe and sustainable drinking water for Ontarians It led to the development of science based assessment reports and source protection plans by multi stakeholder source protection committees supported by Source Protection Authorities including the 36 Conservation Authorities of Ontario The local source protection plans contain policies that either recommend or require that actions be taken to address certain activities Implementation of all source protection plans is well underway across the province The handing and storage of fuel is one of the many activities managed in certain protection areas around municipal drinking water wells and intakes You may hear from a local Risk Management Official regarding managing certain activities at your property to support the protection of valuable drinking water sources To learn more visit www OPCAonline org regulation NEWS FROM AEPQ By Jean Pierre Gauthier CEMEQ Business Development Manager As you know over the last few decades the AEPQ Association des Entrepreneurs P troliers du Qu bec has been tirelessly highlighting the workers in its industry Today we are proud let you know that Emploi Qu bec has agreed to make this a regulated profession For several of you this is business as usual but for many this will be quite different Today there are 487 businesses that consider themselves petroleum contractors but in reality there are only about 60 companies These 60 or so companies agree to require their workers to undertake the required training for working in their profession as is the case for most workers across Canada But what is new for the workers in Qu bec is that Emploi Qu bec has agreed to harmonize its requirements with those across Canada Emploi Qu bec has even recognized the training tools as being the only ones that will be recognized At this point we would like to thank the CPCA Canadian Petroleum Contractors Association and the OPCA Ontario Petroleum Contractors Association for their openness of spirit in this area by allowing indispensable exchange and collaboration For this we would also like to thank Ms Michelle Rae for her invaluable collaboration on this issue We are currently translating updating and improving best practices and updating all the standards and regulations from Qu bec and the rest of Canada To do this we have recruited experts in all areas trade experts specialists in writing publishing and standards No effort is being spared to put forth the best tools possible In this effort we have met with Ms Rae to share information for the benefit of all the workers in the industry This collaboration will allow for harmonization thanks to the open spirit of all those involved This collaboration will allow Emploi Qu bec to be able to reach a cross Canada workforce mobility agreement with the same criteria and requirements This achievement is a giant step in interprovincial relations I would like to pay tribute to Ms Beaulieu from the CPIEPQ Joint committee on installation of petroleum equipment in Qu bec for her unwavering support on this initiative The joint committee cannot by law be involved in training However Ms Beaulieu within the framework of her roles and responsibilities has always known how to get things done and contributed to the implementation of this project In closing I wish that at the end of this process we will all be united for the launch of a new era in the petroleum equipment industry in Qu bec while remembering the pioneers that came before us While there will undoubtedly be some pitfalls our dreams and determination for the love of our profession will reaffirm the pride we should all take in our work NOUVELLES DEL AEPQ Comme vous le savez sans doute l A E P Q a d ploy beaucoup d nergie au cours des derni res d cennies

The cost per this policy is generally 1 500 per tank subject to underwriting criteria Premise Pollution Liability Premise pollution policies provide coverage for pollution conditions that occur from storage tank systems other onsite operations and pollutants that have migrated onto the premise from adjacent properties An example of an on site claim is a leak or spill that occurs in the garage area of a service station Coverage would be afforded As in any insurance policy the coverage is triggered by the discovery and reporting of an incident The cost of a premise policy generally starts around 7 500 The underwriting requirements include any available environmental site assessments So depending on the history the insurer might request a phase 1 or phase 2 ESA Environmental Site Assessment The key to triggering the coverage is that an incident must have occurred and be reported by the insured during the policy period As stated in the statutory conditions of all insurance policies the onus on the site operator to prove their loss Note that the policy does not cover pre existing conditions It only covers releases originating from the storage tank system during the policy term FUEL YOUR Contractor s involvement with insurance pollution claims As a contractor servicing retail sites it s important to know the basics of the claims settlement process involving pollution incidents First and most importantly the policy is triggered by the reporting of a pollution condition as the result of the discovery of a spill or leak Often you can face situations were contamination exists but a claim has never been submitted to the insurance company Two common situations where impacted sites are discovered without a specific date of leak or spills occur in the due diligence of a property sale or the actual removal of tanks ENGINES FEATURES Single or multiple compartments Long lasting durable industrial grade paint exterior High flow ground level fill and spill preventer Accessory mounting system Ladders stairs catwalks Reliable high output pump optional discharge piping Additional accessories available 800 665 2099 lcs westeel com westeel com 10 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR JUNE 2017 In the case of a tank removal impacted soil conditions are often discovered Depending on the extent of the plumes the insured would look to the Storage Tank Pollution Policy for indemnification The same situation occurs during the due diligence of a property sale The purchaser could discover pollution conditions from new ESA reports that were never previously completely Again the owner will look to the pollution policy for indemnification In both of the cases the onus on the insured is to prove his loss The insured has to prove that an incident occurred during the policy period Once the insurer has been placed on notice a non prejudice letter goes to the site operator which basically acknowledges the reporting of the claim and the advisement that a complete investigation will occur to determine if the policy will respond The insurer starts the investigation into the contamination to determine the source and age of the pollutants Precision leak tests inventory records and alarm reports are reviewed in an effort to determine the time and origin of the incident Once the information is gathered and reviewed the insurer provides a position letter in regards to the policy s response On a storage tank policy if the incident cannot be pin pointed to a time that the policy was in place the insurer will deny and turn it back to the insured to prove when the spill occurred Often the site operator will turn to a petroleum contractor to provide any evidence that will substantiate a pollution condition that happened during the policy period Your customer will often request service records At this point the owner might ask you to do further work at the site or ask for your opinion to help prove his claim It s important to realize that this additional work is performed at the expense of the site owner until it s determined that coverage is in place It s important to know who you re working for the site owner or the insurer It is recommended that any documentation provided to a client regarding an opinion of equipment or site condition should include a disclaimer In general a disclaimer should communicate the following points a It s important to declare the type of services you provide or your duty as a contractor b The disclaimer should include a hold harmless clause c The disclaimer should suggest that an appropriate environmental study be completed by an Environmental Professional d Precision leak test should be recommended The client should sign and date your documentation When providing a written opinion of equipment and or site conditions it s important that the opinion is related to specific work prescribed or preformed Stand alone opinion letters are more likely to be interpreted as professional opinions as opposed to being part of your work In the event you are brought into an incident by way of a statement of claim the opinions can be interpreted as professional services which in general is an exclusion under majority of liability policies In summary it seems in this day and age a quality paper trail is as important as the workmanship itself It is recommended that your documented opinions with clients include a disclaimer and relate to specific work you perform as a petroleum contractor JUNE 2017 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 11
