in the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and POST and flexibility often due to weather considerations Planning is critical in controlling a project because it provides a basis for assessing progress achieving deadlines maintaining budgets and costs and ensuring quality Planning the job forces you to think of the proj ect goals and objectives at the very start of the process This ensures that all people involved with the job are on the same wave length and are work ing towards an agreed upon result Job planning determines which activities need to be done when the activities should be performed and who should be involved in the process Make sure that you include in the planning process those people who will actually perform the work They can inform you of elements in your plan that are not workable before the job even begins The best way to plan and control a job is to have all persons who are involved in that job plan and control their own work By The CPCA Training Certification team PROPER JOB PLANNING THE KEY TO SUCCESS In this multi part series we will share some of the lessons that comprise our petroleum mechanic training programs While this is valuable for those working in the service and construction sectors learning proper planning and organizational skills is beneficial in all aspects of the industry A component of these discussions with our students includes the many aspects of effectively planning your jobs including paperwork permits interpreting and applying applicable codes and regulations and communicating with the appropriate people Planning a job is a proactive method of fitting together all of the pieces of the puzzle It focuses on coordinating resources communicating activi ties and following through with a schedule to achieve the project s desired end product In the petroleum industry factors that impact the plan ning process are regulatory compliance such as the Local Building Code safety aspects as outlined 8 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR OCTOBER 2018 Highway a permit must be obtained from Transport Canada that allows the construction to occur only if it meets specific requirements The company is protected because it has followed the rules of what is required The public is protected because the tanks were installed with its safety in mind Obtaining permits also assists in determining the requirements for the job since an official from the issuing organization usually advises on specific materials or conditions that are necessary to meet the terms of the permit Failure to obtain the permits could result in stiff fines to the company or even a forced shut down of all operations If work has been done without securing the proper permits the company could be required to remove all evidence of work and reinstate the property back to its original condition The types of permits and approvals that must be applied for depend on the types of jobs e g tank installation and tank removal and the loca tions of the jobs A key part of job planning is documenting the following schedule activities human resources budget Documentation can be done through written notes charts and schedules and through computerized forms such as database software or project man agement software An important part of documen tation is obtaining signatures to ensure understand ing or commitment of the parties involved This may involve obtaining signatures from your client from your equipment suppliers or from govern ment officials Constant communication throughout the course of the job ensures effectiveness Good communi cation ensures that everyone s role is clear all issues are addressed and no surprises pop up at the end of the project Good communication also helps in problem solving and decision making The resulting benefits of effective communication are fewer errors and misunderstandings total com mitment and involvement improved productivity and lower costs Permits Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals prior to beginning a job is more than simply good planning it allows the job to proceed with the law on your side Because permits specify exactly what is acceptable both the company and the public are protected For example if the job requires that petroleum tanks are to be installed along a King s Our company has over 35 years of industry knowledge and technical expertise With a staff of PM licensed mechanics we are able to handle your needs from simple service work to full installation and removal of tanks and service stations LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO WITH 24 HOUR ON CALL SERVICE R A Pilkey is proud members of OPCA CPCA and registered with TSSA Visit us at rapilkey com 45 Burgess Street PO BOX 59 Burgessville ON N0J 1C0 EMAIL rapilkey execulink com OFFICE 519 424 9121 CELL 519 533 2763 RAPilkey_CPCA_June16 indd 1 OCTOBER 2018 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 9 2016 05 25 11 23 AM
