News from the BCPCA By Rob Bateman Here in British Columbia we re all enjoying a fairly robust work schedule which has picked up since the first quarter slowdown The BCPCA had a board meeting on May 1 We are continuing our efforts to make upgrades to the training manuals and the exams for both tech designations and the core training We have had difficulty getting through to the Industry Training Authority ITA since they made changes to their structure which re centralized trade training It appears that the current administration group is overwhelmed with the additional responsibilities At the CPCA annual general meeting we discussed recommending the exchange of material training and upgrades between the BCPCA and the CPCA in an effort to standardize Canadian petroleum technician training We recommend that this be added to the agenda at the AGM in June One of our issues in BC is the lack of standards and inspection by provincial government officials While we are lobbying for this we are not sure whether to focus our efforts on the Safety Authority or through the Fire Code More work will be done on this and we are in the pro cess of contacting both provincial trade authorities as mentioned and safety authorities In the meantime more petroleum technicians are writing the certification exams in order to qualify for work being tendered by governments GCs and engineers We have maintained contact with federal government authorities and their support for our cause has been very strong JUNE 2015 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 5 CPCA_June15_FINAL indd 5 2015 06 11 4 35 PM

End of the dispute between the OIQ and the AEPQ By Jacques Poulin To start let s give a short summary of the facts The Quebec legislation ruling the engineers was promulgated in 1972 This law stipulates that the goal is to assure the public safety and is covering in a general manner the mechanical electrical and hydraulic works From 1972 to 2008 no infraction or suit was taken against any members When more and more suits were taken we decided to bring these cases to the court In the first case wherein one of our members was first making a very standard petroleum equipment installation the court of first instance ruled in our favour based on the following facts It is not to the engineers association to extend any definition to the words that appear in the law Our lawyer Richard Cliche has represented the AEPQ since 1973 and has never lost a court case in this period of time In his defence plea he came out with a simple but very effective example According to the extended definitions of the engineers association a milking system installation on a farm would require some engineering plans and supervision as it has components that are mechanical electrical and hydraulic The OIQ appealed that decision to the Quebec superior court The appeal was rejected as the judge maintained that if the government wanted to include petroleum equipment installation in the engineer s field of competence he would have specified it as he did for the construction of a retention basin under or above ground tank While we were proceeding with our court case there was another case where a professional technologist was sued for proposing drawings for a service station equipment installation In this case the court of first instance and the superior court ruled in favour of the OIQ As the two cases were similar in nature the AEPQ and the provincial technologist association asked the Quebec appeal court to clarify the jurisdiction of the OIQ This last appeal court has very quickly rejected the OIQ s claims and stated very clearly that the petroleum equipment installation work in Quebec does not require any engineering plans as supervision Fin de la dispute entre l ordre des ing nieurs du Qu bec et l association des entrepreneurs p troliers du Qu bec Pour commencer voici un court r sum des faits La loi du Qu bec sur les ing nieurs date de 1972 Cette loi stipule de fa on g n rale que son but est d assurer la protection du public et que les travaux de m canique d lectricit et d hydraulique sont touch s par cette loi De 1972 2008 jamais une plainte ne f t port e contre l un de nos membres Notre association recevant des plaintes r p t es a d cid de contester ces plaintes devant les tribunaux Dans le premier jugement concernant une installation p troli re tr s standard la cour de premi re instance rejeta cette plainte et rendit un jugement en notre faveur se basant sur les faits suivants Il n est pas donn l ordre des ing nieurs du Qu bec le pouvoir de faire dire des mots ce qu ils signifient Notre avocat Me Richard Cliche qui repr sente notre association depuis 1973 n a jamais perdu une cause que ce soit contre la commission de la construction ou n importe quelle autre instance gouvernementale Dans sa plaidoirie il a amen un exemple simple mais combien r aliste Dans un syst me de traite des vaches il y a des notions de m canique d lectricit et d hydraulique pourtant des plans d ing nieur ou la surveillance des travaux par un ing nieur n est pas requis Finalement l ordre des ing nieurs du Qu bec porte cette d cision en appel devant la cour sup rieure du Qu bec qui nous a encore donn raison en disant que si le gouvernement avait voulu que les travaux d installation p troli re soient r gis il l aurait sp cifi dans la loi comme il l a indiqu dans un seul cas c est o un bassin de r tention est construit pour des r servoirs hors terre En m me temps que cette cause tait devant les tribunaux une autre cause impliquant un technologue professionnel qui avait propos des plans d implantation tait perdue en cours de premi re instance et en cour d appel la cour sup rieure Puisque les deux cas traitaient toujours sur les travaux d installation p troli re nous avons d cid d aller la cour d appel du Qu bec pour pr senter les deux cas Cette cour d appel a rejet rapidement les pr tentions de l ordre des ing nieurs du Qu bec et a statu que les travaux d installation p troli re ne relevaient absolument pas de la comp tence des ing nieurs JUNE 2015 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 7 CPCA_June15_FINAL indd 7 2015 06 11 4 35 PM

The recent decline in the price of oil should have only a marginal impact upon your business primarily due to a rise in the use and therefore wear on fuel dispensers as consumers buy more fuel 8 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR JUNE 2015 CPCA_June15_FINAL indd 8 2015 06 11 4 35 PM

CHANGING COST DRIVERS AFFECTING YOUR INDUSTRY How will the key trends impact your bottom line For contractors in your industry the primary business relates to fuel dispensers and storage systems It does not involve searching for producing or refining hydrocarbons Thus the recent decline in the price of oil should have only a marginal impact on your business primarily due to a rise in the use and therefore wear on fuel dispensers as consumers buy more fuel Most analysts are predicting that oil will remain below 75 dollars for at least 18 months Saudi Arabia wants to retain market share and it has the lowest cost of production so it will force down the price until other higher cost producers including the tar sands and fracking exit the market Given the slower rate of growth in the demand for oil products lower prices will prevail until supply matches demand probably about 18 months While the price of oil has risen and then declined substantially over the past few years what have been other key trends in the environment in which you operate Consider just three things the cost of labour the cost of parts and imposition of regulations primarily related to safety by both government and the oil companies themselves by Dr David Bond author and economist Labour costs constitute a major expense and they have risen not uniformly across the nation it is true but nowhere have they fallen As the economy continues to grow even if only 2 annually and unemployment declines the demand for higher wages will become more common and strident Parts particularly those coming from the US have in the past year risen by more than 15 and those increased prices caused by the falling Loonie are unlikely to be reversed in the short to intermediate term say five years Most economists believe that the exchange rate will settle at about 85 partly because oil will likely remain at 75 or lower for at least 18 months if not longer While exports will rise commodity prices coal copper and iron ore will remain relatively low and they constitute a major part of our exports Also growth in Canada will be lower than in the US so the Bank of Canada will keep interest rates lower than in the US This will cause a modest outflow of investment capital putting further downward pressure on the Loonie Note that even if the exchange rate were to move back to something close to par which is highly unlikely prices on parts could be expected to rise in US dollars over time There is a cost to increased regulation no matter what the source The cost comes primarily in the form of increased time required to undertake JUNE 2015 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 9 CPCA_June15_FINAL indd 9 2015 06 11 4 35 PM

Labour costs including employee training are a major expense for contractors There are two important facts to bear in mind when oil companies ask you to reduce your prices First in the total costs of their operations servicing of fuel dispensers and storage facilities are an infinitesimal part of their expenditures and their franchisees bear most of the cost Even if everyone in the industry were to cut fees by 50 the impact on the oil companies bottom lines would be relatively insignificant Second any cost reduction you offer up comes right out of your bottom line When oil rose to more than 100 US a barrel did the oil companies voluntarily offer to raise what they paid you for each service call Why were you ignored when high prices for crude prevailed but when things are tough they go after your margins That sounds like Heads I win tails you lose a given task time to make sure regulations are followed time to fill out required reports time to train technicians on the new regulations and time costs money Your money The decline in oil prices has had an adverse impact on the bottom line of petroleum producers and that has led them to try to cut costs The expense related to servicing fuel dispensing and storage is a natural target After all individual service companies are no match for multinational multi billion dollar corporations Dr Bond was born in Hamilton Ontario and received his university education in the United States at Dartmouth College and Yale University where he earned his doctorate in economics He has taught at the universities of Western Ontario Quebec and British Columbia He has also coauthored books on the impact of US Canada Free Trade on the Canadian furniture industry as well as a textbook on money and banking now in its third edition His most recent book Future Perfect Retirement Strategies for Productive People clearly establishes that retirement is the beginning of a new series of adventures and experiences ISO 9001 2008 Certified Your Partner in Total Containment Solutions Protecting the environment for future generations Aboveground Tanks Underground Tanks Tank Accessories Fire Rated Tanks Double Bottom Tanks Fuel Oil Tanks Double Wall Oval Tanks Custom Fabrication Spill collectors Wall Mounted Free standing Vertical Tanks Horizontal Tanks Bench Tanks Dike Tanks Utility Tanks Sub Base Tanks Static Head Tanks Utility Pumps Rectangular Tanks Threaded Integral Style All tanks are designed fabricated and labeled in accordance to the latest edition of applicable standards UL ULC AWWA API Up to 250 000LT 69 Comstock Road Toronto ON M1L 2G9 Phone 416 757 6278 Fax 416 757 5579 Toll Free 1 800 387 1400 dteindustries com sales dteindustries com 10 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR JUNE 2015 CPCA_June15_FINAL indd 10 2015 06 11 4 35 PM

safety bulletin Taking POST up a level By Michelle Rae administrator Petroleum Oriented Safety Training Last year the POST committee saw a need to take the online orientation to another level literally so they appointed a sub committee to develop the framework for an online orientation that captures the basic POST requirements while stepping it up a notch I m sure all of you are familiar with the current POST online orientation While the current POST online course does a good job of covering all of the basic POST requirements we wanted to get more in depth with some of these requirements to give users especially those in supervisory or leadership roles a better understanding in some of these areas As a result we ve created POST Level 2 The rationale for POST level 2 is to ensure site supervisors understand their role with respect to POST requirements In a nutshell the goal is to ensure any worker in a leadership role is a POST expert With POST Level 2 users will have an in depth knowledge of POST requirements based on a supervisor and or leadership perspective In addition it will provide a high level understanding of POST documentation including the ability to perform Planned Job Observation and JSA quality evaluations Some of the core competencies that will be covered in POST Level 2 include Demonstrate core competencies at a higher level Demonstrate leadership qualities with respect to enforcing site rules and POST requirements Improve hazard identification and mitigation skills when completing JSAs Use critical thinking when performing Planned Job Observations Hazard Identification Increase level protection knowledge of certain PPE The recommended users of POST Level 2 are supervisors lead hands foremen forewomen and workers with POST certification Level 1 BBS of 2 years or more who want more in depth knowledge Companies or users who are unsure can verify with the POST administration office or speak to their contractor and or oil company representative We have created a guideline to help companies determine the appropriate level for each of their employees The guideline contains the outline of both POST levels as well as the list of service categories that Level 2 users fall under We look forward to providing this new level of training to help you and your employees stay safe Our plan is to launch this new course in the coming weeks For more information please visit our website at www POSTtraining ca 14 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR JUNE 2015 CPCA_June15_FINAL indd 14 2015 06 11 4 35 PM
