SPI SAF 23 High Visibility Apparel, comes into force July 1st, 2016 under O.Reg. 854 Mines and Mining Plants. These updates are a legislated requirement. All current SPI's are available on the PMO Extranet Site (http://standards.inco.com/pmo/default.htm)
Review Contractor Safety Meeting Message (Hi Vis Clothing) with all field personnel by May 1/16 and include the sign off sheet with all other safety documentation as part of the Weekly Safety Compliance Audit submitted weekly to your Vale Representative for the work. (See attachment below)
Summary of discussion:1. Workers cannot use high visibility vests. High visibility clothing must include a shirt or coveralls in a color that meets CSA Z96-09 standards (Upper body Fluorescent background material: Yellow-Green, Orange-red, or Red)2. Cannot use the temporary arm and leg bands, striping must be sewn on retro-reflective strips, 50mm wide.3. Only visitors (unpaid personnel) and delivery drivers can use Hi Vis Vests.4. Jackets and shirts are not labeled as Class 3 level 2, but are considered Class 3 level 2 if worn in conjuction with the approved pants.5. If removing outer layer of approved clothing the underclothing must also meeting the requirements.
The MOL has recognized that special PPE requirements may hinder the effectiveness of Hi Vis clothing (e.g. welding jackets, harnesses, etc...) and that this should not be an issue when workers are on jobsites where they are not exposed to traffic hazards. Workers must comply with the Hi Vis requirement when walking to/from the jobsite/trailer/etc...(e.g. a worker wearing a welding jacket must remove the welding jacket and be wearing approved Hi Vis outerwear when traveling to/from the work area, if exposed to traffic / mobile equipment hazards).

Reporting Month Statistics – Quick Overview
Reporting Month Fatalities Critical Injuries Total
March 2016 1 6 7
Provincial Coordinator’s Comments April 2016 PLMHSC Meeting This month as we transition from winter into more spring like weather there are environmental hazards that are easy to become complacent about but can be a fatal risk to workers.
The Ministry of Labour is issuing a hazard alert to remind employers and constructors of the need to ensure that overhead ice accumulations are removed in a timely way and to protect workers from overhead ice hazards.
Similarly as a ground thaws and frost dissipates, there is a period of several weeks where standing water cannot percolate into the groundwater table, and otherwise stable ground becomes mucky, slippery and unstable. Special care must be taken to protect workers who are working in trenching and underground situations, as well as ensuring that access and egress to work areas is kept free of mud and slippery material.
This year as part of our overall enforcement plan, MOL will be conducting to several initiatives lasting for the entire year. The first initiative is with respect to fall hazards, and this will be focused on falls from heights. The second initiative pays special attention to the focus and function of the internal responsibility system on a construction project.
Stakeholders are reminded that the internal responsibility system is especially challenging on a construction project where the main decision-making authority can be off-site and may not attend the project on a frequent basis. The owners, directors, managers in general supervisors of construction must ensure that they have an accountability system in place to ensure that workplace safety is maintained and that workers have an opportunity to have their health and safety complaints heard and acted on. MOL inspectors will be paying special attention to employers who cannot demonstrate that there is a reliable and engaged system between the workplace parties on a project and the head office.
This year MOL will also be undertaking three focused blitz activities.
The first blitz running from May 15 until July 15 is focused on falls from height, and this will be a system-wide effort involving the industrial, health-care, mining, and construction programs. Further material will be released in the near future; however as a heads up, we will be undertaking a no tolerance intervention where fall hazards are uncontrolled, and there are contraventions of the regulations.
Our second blitz of the year from August 1 to September 30 is focused on mobile cranes, and rigging practices. We will be paying special attention to: de-rated cranes that may be operated by unqualified operators, hoisting being carried out in an unsafe manner with improper rigging or missing taglines and, cranes where maintenance records are not available or out of date.
MOL Report to PLMHSC – Construction Sector – April 2016 Meeting
Page 2 of 11
Our third blitz of the year, from November 1 to December 31, is focused on electrical hazards. This will include specific attention to: the qualification of workers undertaking electrical work, compliance with the electrical sections of the regulation, limits of approach for overhead electrical hazards and, the supervision of workers. Additionally we will be looking at ergonomic risks of workers who undertake electrical work, and making sure that, wherever possible, mechanical assistance is provided, safe lifting techniques are utilized, and where ladders are used that workers are not over-stressing, or overreaching as a normal part of their activities.
Safety is not a state of mind that is unchanging, safety is one of vigilance, perseverance and respect for each other. We have experienced tremendous improvement in construction safety and together we can move that bar even further.
Let’s work together to make that happen.

Case 1
Varcon Construction Corporation
Charges:
Defendant #1:
Varcon Construction Corporation, on or about the 25th day of April, 2014, at the City of Brampton, in the Central West Region, in the Province of Ontario, did commit the offence of failing, as an employer, to ensure that the measures and procedures prescribed by s. 37(1) of Ontario Regulation 213/91 were carried out in a workplace located at the intersection of Chinguacousy Road and Mayfield Road in Brampton, Ontario, contrary to section 25(1)(c) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, as amended. Facts in Support of Guilty Plea / Conviction or Reasons for Acquittal:
1. Varcon Construction Co. Ltd. (hereinafter Varcon) is and has been at all material times a valid subsisting Ontario Corporation. Varcon is an employer of workers who engage in construction in the province of Ontario.
2. On or about April 25, 2014 the corporation employed approximately 23 workers at a construction project, a watermain installation construction project taking place at and along Mayfield Road in the City of Brampton.
3. On that date, numerous activities were taking place at the construction project, at the intersection of Chinguacousy Road and Mayfield Road. Approximately 6 workers were at this location. An excavator was removing material and placing it into dump trucks, which were moving on the road with the assistance of a signaler. Dump trucks and other vehicles were being assisted in their movement through the intersection by a paid duty police officer who was present directing traffic. A traffic control plan was in place which included traffic cones and the assistance of the paid duty officer. Workers, including a crew of laborers which included the victim in this matter, Mr. AF were removing topsoil in an area to be excavated away from the intersection. At the same time as these activities were taking place, an equipment operator was asked to retrieve a portable toilet (porta potty) from the intersection of Creditview Road to the west on Mayfield Road and transport it to the intersection of Chinguacousy Road and Mayfield Road where it was required for use.
4. The equipment operator strapped the portable toilet to the right hand side of the bucket of a front end loader and, with the bucket raised, proceeded to travel eastward in a live traffic lane a distance of 1.4 km on Mayfield Road, to the Chinguacousy and Mayfield intersection. The excavator operator stopped the vehicle and load on the right side shoulder of Mayfield Road facing east where the toilet was initially going to be located. He checked in with the crew at this location, and communicated with the signaler, who communicated that assistance would be available to stop traffic when the equipment operator wanted to move the vehicle back out again.
5. The equipment operator was then instructed to move the portable toilet to another location, around the corner to the south on Chinguacousy. The equipment operator observed that traffic and trucks were stopped by the police officer and by the Varcon signaller. Without contacting the signaller further, and after briefly checking visually to one side of the vehicle, the equipment operator moved forward around the corner of the intersection onto Chinguacousy towards the intended drop off spot for the toilet, and as he did so the equipment struck, ran over and fatally injured Mr. AF
MOL Report to PLMHSC – Construction Sector – April 2016 Meeting
Page 5 of 11
6. Investigation determined that there was a signaller present in the roadway assisting dump trucks, but the equipment operator did not utilize the assistance of this signaler when moving forward. It was determined that the manner of moving the portable toilet was unsafe due to the placement and location of the portable toilet in the bucket, which restricted the view of the operator. It was determined that Mr. AF had gone into the roadway to move traffic cones so that the equipment operator could move forward around the corner as instructed, with the portable toilet. The equipment operator either could not see, or did not look in the direction of Mr. AF or communicate with workers before moving forward, striking and fatally injuring Mr. AF
7. It was determined that this violated section 37(1) of the Construction Regulations which requires that material or equipment at a project be moved in a manner that does not endanger a worker.

Particulars: The accused failed to ensure that decking was not placed, left or stored in a location or manner that endangered a worker, CC.
Conviction Information
Facts in Support of Guilty Plea / Conviction or Reasons for Acquittal:
1. Vixman Construction Ltd. (“Vixman”) is a corporation carrying on business in the Province of Ontario.
2. Mr. Fernand Landry is a supervisor employed by Vixman. He resides at Cayuga Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario, L5G 3S9. Mr. Landry was a supervisor for Vixman in January of 2014.
3. On or about January 13, 2014 Vixman was retained by Benson Steel Ltd. to deliver, unload, and install decking material
that was to be used on a steel structure. The steel structure was part of a construction project involving the construction of a retail store. The constructor for the project was PCL Constructors Canada Inc.
4. On or about January 13, 2014 Vixman arranged for the delivery of decking material to this construction project. The
decking material consisted of bundles which were approximately 3 feet wide and varied in length. There were about 16-17 sheets of decking in each bundle.
5. After speaking to the PCL construction project supervisor, Mr. Landry on behalf of Vixman arranged for the unloading
of the decking material from the delivery truck. The decking material was unloaded from the delivery truck by use of a crane. The crane was arranged to be used in the unloading by Vixman but provided by another company. The decking material was unloaded from the truck and placed on top of the steel structure.
6. The steel structure consisted of columns and beams that were approximately 38 feet across and about 30 feet high. There
were also joists between the steel beams. 7. Mr. Landry was on the delivery truck hooking up the crane hook to the decking bundles. Mr. Landry directed two
workers from Vixman to go up on top of the steel structure to receive and land the bundles of decking material. The two workers were Mr. David Mand Mr. Christopher C.
8. Once a number of decking material bundles, about 6 or 7, were unloaded onto the steel beams, Mr. M left the area. Mr. C
was then left alone to receive the remaining decking bundles.
MOL Report to PLMHSC – Construction Sector – April 2016 Meeting
Page 8 of 11
9. One column started to fall inward as a result of the load that had been placed on the steel structure. This caused other
columns to fall and part of the steel structure collapsed. Although he was wearing fall arrest equipment, Mr. C fell when the structure collapsed. The decking material then fell on top of Mr. C.
Mr. Landry, as the supervisor for Vixman, failed to ensure that the decking material was not placed, left, or stored in a location or manner that endangered the worker, Mr. C.
10. The other worker, Mr. David M, did not suffer any injury as a result of this incident.
