COVID AND WORKPLACE SAFETY By Michelle Rae CPCA Recently I spoke to several industry representatives from the POST committee as well as other Petroleum Contractors to discuss the ongoing challenges of keeping employees safe on the job during the pandemic Like all employers these days they are dealing with an additional focus on employee health and safety At the beginning of the pandemic there was the initial scramble as restrictions and protocols were announced Some contractors were initially concerned with the safety of their workers and trying to establish the necessary protocols to mitigate their risk As Ken Jamieson owner of Kenstruct Ltd tells us We had workers all over Ontario at various sites many working out of town and staying in hotels 6 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR OCTOBER 2020

Page 7

Initially we just shut everything down because we could not guarantee their safety until we had proper procedures in place and were sure those working out of town were safe Now that we have had these procedures in place for several months our workers are better equipped to feel safe going home to their families Martin Deblois Program Director at BGIS agrees Worker s safety remains a priority we cannot take shortcuts adding We have been impressed at how our workers have stayed engaged with COVID protocols Martin also explained communication within their organization has been adapted to minimize exposure For example we have implemented a system where there is less handling of paperwork and where we can we conduct virtual site visits Adding We put many of these protocols in place at the start of the pandemic and still have the same expectations for the long term And while companies may have adapted new protocols it is just as important to continue to practice some of their established protocols such as their emergency response plans Contractors need to refresh their thinking when it comes to their emergency response plans says Mike Papulkas Global Contractor Safety Advisor for Shell Contractors should frequently test their procedures and equipment with their personnel as well verifying nearby hospitals are not overrun dealing with COVID patients A quick call would be a prudent part of their checklist so they can have a backup plan if needed and not only rely on 911 The supply and demand of PPE was also initially an issue The Ontario Petroleum Contractors Association even went so far as to purchase a wholesale quantity of hand sanitizer from a company that retooled their production and offer to industry at cost to assist with their supply And now everyone agrees things have calmed down and supply no longer seems to be an issue However as Carly Escudero Quality Health and Safety Specialist at CBRE noted it is important to be aware of the quality of PPE as well such as hand sanitizer for instance One example is companies using technical grade ethanol in their hand sanitizer when they are not authorized to do so Ensure your workers know what is approved and safe to use Construction sites have had to adapt to protocols and procedures and additional PPE Howard Heal Operations Manager for Bar W Petroleum Equipment says everyone wears a mask on work sites and ensures the washroom facilities and handwashing stations on site are frequently cleaned and sanitized Everyone on site is doing their part to keep things sanitary and safe more so than before for obvious reasons he said adding these were small things we took for granted before but take very seriously now Mike Lamont National Energy Equipment s HSE Manager says that since the nature of their business is service they are in constant contact with the pubic We also have hundreds of technicians going from site to site every day They approach every site as a hazard and work accordingly such as sanitizing any equipment before working on it He also added complacency towards these protocols is not negotiable Workers must remain vigilant when working in these conditions and it s management s responsibly to remind them Mike also notes that if an employee is not feeling well they are sent home and tested It s not worth the risk to others At our Mississauga headquarters we take everyone s temperature before they enter the building OCTOBER 2020 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 7

Because of this need to ensure the health of their employees and minimizing the risk to others some companies are also utilizing mobile apps to assess their workers virtually Carly Escudero says CBRE utilizes an app where their technicians can take their own temperature and complete a health survey before starting work Martin Deblois says BGIS also employs a similar app Craig Bennett a Health Safety Advisor for Suncor Energy informed us that Suncor employees must log into an app each day to answer a series of questions related to whether they have symptoms or have been in contact with a confirmed COVID case prior to accessing the office To help maintain physical distancing they have reduced meeting room and lunchroom capacities within their offices They have developed contact tracing processes for employees and their network of Petro Canada Associates as well as a contractor case reporting tool that contractors use to log anonymous information related to any COVID positive cases that have been on any Suncor Energy sites If you need to implement these tools into your program the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety has a number of industry related 8 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR OCTOBER 2020 tip sheets to help you manage COVID protocols including return to work surveys and COVID 19 screening tools to help you assess your workers before they start work are returning to work after travelling or if they have potentially been exposed to COVID In addition to workers physical health many employers are also ensuring their mental health is addressed It is important that workers have the necessary support as they can be experiencing additional stress and anxiety during these uncertain times which can impact both their work and personal lives Matthew Field Training Business Development Manager at Tanknology Division of Englobe says their company s Employee Assistance Program has an additional focus on mental health Employees can access various programs to help manage stress noting the importance of providing support for those that need to take the appropriate time off if needed To help you stay informed and for guidance on dealing with mental health issues The Government of Canada s website contains a section titled Taking Care of Your Mental and Physical Health During the COVID 19 Pandemic

arthritis The nozzle operates more smoothly and customers have more control over how much fuel they dispense he says noting that the EZ Lever is a two piece design that allows the poppet to open with just five pounds of force Most nozzles on the market ask customers to use 10 pounds of force or more to get dispensers moving gas to vehicles Husky has also introduced the XS nozzle Rodd reports this device has shut off features to enhance safety For example the nozzle will not activate if the pump is not on or the car s gas tank is full or the leak detector has not fully cycled The nozzle also sports a stainless steel spout bushing that prevents sensor tip damage If the nozzle is dropped or is raised above horizontal Husky s Flo Stop device shuts the nozzle down An important introduction here is StreamShaper a technology that works to reduce turbulence in fuel flow that results in less splashback Pants and dress shoes have never been happier or site challenges make removal of existing tanks a challenge The upgrade system consists of two corrosion resistant laminates with a proprietary glass fabric between the laminates to create an interstitial space The interstice can be either dry or hydrostatically monitored The Phoenix System when applied onsite by trained installers is compatible with biofuels including ethanolblended fuels and bio diesels Gilbarco Veeder Root is another prominent manufacturer that is making it less difficult to fuel vehicles This company has come forward with Ergo a dispenser nozzle that is designed for easier one handed operation The company reports that Ergo offers a lever that is 66 easier to pull than their previous model The nozzle is also 12 lighter and uses heat treated roller pins at the drive shaft assembly to better resist the elements and hold up to heavy use The Ergo also handles the action in extreme environments with performance rated for temperatures from minus 40 C to 51 6 C Storage tank improvements OPW is a major name in fuel storage and they have been staying up front thanks to regular developments For example they recently released the High Flow Loop System This equipment is an extension of OPW s FlexWorks Loop System The company suggests the new systems are ideal for truck stops where there can be multiple lanes for transports and blended service for passenger cars and light trucks High volume sites were a challenge with the offset product inlet configurations on high speed dispensers as well as a way to incorporate our larger diameter 3 inch flex pipe says Ed Kammerer Director of Marketing and Global Product Strategy for OPW Retail Fueling Essentially the High Flow Loop System takes the components of the original and supersizes them so they can deliver higher flow rates all while maintaining the original system s streamlined installation operation monitoring maintenance repair and replacement capabilities he says For fuel providers with compromised single wall storage tanks ZCL has a solution Their Phoenix System now offers a less expensive way to deliver containment when single wall units fail 19840 57A Avenue Langley BC V3A 6G6 Tel 604 514 4787 Fax 604 514 4688 sales westernoilservices com Fuel Storage Handling and Monitoring Expertise for Nearly 70 Years 1 800 663 2097 www westernoilservices com Proudly Serving The Petroleum Industry Since 1950 OCTOBER 2020 CANADIAN PETROLEUM CONTRACTOR 13
