1.0 Scope
1.1 Introduction
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) presents signifcant risks to SNC-Lavalin – both to specifc Sectors
and to the entire organization. To address these risks, SNC-Lavalin has developed a Global Health,
Safety and Environment Management System (GHSEMS), whereby all Sectors and associated Business
Units (BUs) are required to meet the same standards. Policies, strategies, standard operating procedures
(SOP), internal controls, performance indicators and targets, along with technical systems and tools, are
developed centrally to help manage risk and improve HSE performance. This system supports individual
Sectors and BUs, as well as the organization as a whole, to achieve their performance objectives.
The GHSEMS is the foundation for all our HSE management processes. It is the governing Corporate
document that outlines expectations for all SNC-Lavalin Sectors and BUs in order to support a “one
company” approach to HSE.
SNC-Lavalin expects business partners, such as associate companies or joint ventures where we do
not have Prime Contractor responsibility, as well as Contractors and suppliers with whom we have
substantial involvement, to conform to equivalent HSE management standards. SNC-Lavalin will inform
business partners of these SOPs, protocols and policies and work with them where appropriate to
support their adoption of practices consistent with our own.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SNC-Lavalin’s goal is to achieve and maintain HSE excellence by incorporating strategies, policies and
SOPs that promote the HSE stewardship of our personnel, Contractors and the general public throughout
all our business activities.
1.2 Application
All SNC-Lavalin Sectors and BUs and their Controlled Sites (offces, Projects and Operations) shall
implement and demonstrate compliance to the GHSEMS. Conformance to the GHSEMS is mandatory.
The GHSEMS will oversee Contractors HSE plans, programs and all related policies and procedures and
will take precedence in case of confict.
The GHSEMS shall be applied as a whole, not limited to individual sections. BU-specifc HSE
Management Systems are not permitted as the GHSEMS is applicable to all disciplines including
Engineering, Construction, Procurement, Human Resources, Finance, etc.
Guidance is provided in section 1.5 for situations where it is determined that any SOP, protocol and / or
policy cannot be complied within its entirety.
Global HSE Management System | 2021 Global HSE BlueBook | 6801-EN-Rev.10 13

The GHSEMS also applies to:
› Project Development.
› Conceptual and Scoping Studies.
› Prefeasibility Studies.
› Feasibility Studies.
› Design.
› Execution and Construction.
› Commissioning and Decommissioning.
› Operations and Maintenance.
› All Contractors’ activities undertaken on SNC-Lavalin Controlled Sites.
For all new projects and activities, GHSEMS requirements shall be taken into consideration as early
as the proposal stage and at all preliminary stages to ensure suffcient resources are allocated and
appropriate HSE performance objectives are met.
All activities undertaken by Contractors and Subcontractors on SNC-Lavalin Controlled Sites shall also
conform to GHSEMS requirements as well as to applicable local legislation and regulations.
For Non-Controlled Site requirements, refer to section 4.5.2.16.
All SNC-Lavalin personnel are bound by the requirements of the GHSEMS and associated documents
regardless of work location. Where local requirements are more rigorous, the more stringent
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
requirements will apply.
Prior to the acquisition of a controlling interest in any business activity, HSE due diligence must be
exercised by conducting a risk assessment of the relevant elements.
Newly acquired entities shall conform to the GHSEMS

by performing an integration gap analysis, in conjunction
with Global Health, Safety and Environment (GHSE). This
shall form the development and implementation of an

The management system is divided into elements. Each element sets out to achieve a specifc objective
that enables SNC-Lavalin to best identify and manage all HSE opportunities and threats. Many of the
elements are inter-related. The management system is further underpinned by key highlights which
support all the system elements.
The GHSEMS document provides a high-level summary; further details can be found in the
referenced«documents.
1.4 How to Use This Document

Throughout the GHSEMS, references are made to supporting SNC-Lavalin documents. These documents
contain mandatory requirements and are available on the SNC-Lavalin Capability Hub.
Modifcations to this document are made annually to ensure it is up to date. GHSEMS is a controlled
document. While it may be printed, the electronic version posted online is the only controlled copy. If using
a printed copy of this GHSEMS, always check with the online source to ensure the version you are using
is current.
1.5 Variance
After reviewing the scope of the GHSEMS (and all associated documents), a Site may identify specifc
requirements that it cannot implement as part of its activities. If this is the case, the Site shall submit
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
a variance request. A variance request is a documented report that justifes why the GHSEMS’
requirement(s) cannot be implemented. The variance request must include an action plan that either
puts in place controls to treat the risk resulting from the noncompliance or it details the process that the
Site is undertaking to reach compliance within a specifc timeframe.
Variances can be requested against whole standards, individual clauses or single scope requirements.
The approved variances must be reassessed as a part of the annual management review of the GHSEMS
to determine if it is still relevant to the Sites scope.
The variance request must be signed off by the Sector HSE VP / Director, the BU EVP, the Sector
President and approved by the VP, GHSE.
› For example, a Project is unable to use StepBack due to an entrenched Subcontractor program
which meets all the aspects of StepBack. A variance request can be used to demonstrate that the
Subcontractor is compliant with all of the elements of the SNC-Lavalin StepBack process.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

3.0 Plan
3.1 Hazard Identifcation, Risk Assessment and Determining Controls
SNC-Lavalin’s HSE management approach is risk-based, proactive, systematic and responsive to change.
This is accomplished by having Sites perform comprehensive risk assessments to ensure all hazards are
identifed, assessed and evaluated to effectively eliminate and / or control risk levels.
At a minimum:
› All work environments containing hazards shall be assessed.

› Neighbouring facilities / operations shall be considered.
› The corporate risk assessment tools shall be utilized and associated documentation shall be retained.
› Risk assessments shall be performed regularly and in a timely manner by qualifed personnel and with
suffcient management representation.
› Risk assessments shall be conducted whenever changes occur to the scope of work, equipment or
materials used, or in the organization of the work team (e.g. new shift). At a minimum, risk
assessments shall be conducted at the following stages:
o Early stages of new projects and studies.
o Detailed design of current projects.
o Critical decision points in current projects.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
o Both routine and non-routine operations.
o Following modifcations.
o Supplier Site inspections.
o Travel.
› Risk assessments shall be reviewed at specifed intervals with management involvement.
› Following the risk assessment, corrective measures shall be taken to ensure that hazards are
appropriately evaluated and controlled to levels as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).
› A follow-up of the risk assessment action items shall be performed to ensure corrective measures are
effective and sustainable.
SNC-Lavalin has developed a corporate risk matrix. The risk matrix is based on three components, which
are used to assess Site-related risks: severity of the consequences (C), probability of occurrence (P) and
exposure to the hazard (E). Exposure is only modifed for the risk register calculations. Training shall be
provided on each component.
› Each component varies on a scale of fve levels.

› The severity factor is assessed based on the potential consequences without considering the safeguards
or mitigation measures. Its fve levels are: Negligible, Minor, Moderate, Major and Catastrophic.

o Negligible: First-aid injury; localized and insignifcant environmental impact.
o Minor: Medical-aid injury; localized and short-term (hours) reversible environmental impact.
o Moderate: Modifed-work injury; localized and medium-term (days) reversible environmental impact.
o Major: Lost-time injury; localized or widespread and long-term (weeks to months) recovery
environmental impact.
o Catastrophic: Fatality; irreversible environmental impact.
› The probability factor is assessed based on the probability of occurrence of the scenario assuming that
basic (common) administrative controls are in place as part of normal business (e.g. generic procedures,
employee training, etc.). Its fve levels are: Almost impossible, Conceivable, Possible, Has happened and
Almost certain.
› The exposure factor is assessed based on the duration of
exposure to the hazard during the whole execution of the activity
Risk level Consequence
being considered. Its fve levels are: Yearly, Monthly, Weekly,
Daily and Continuous. For the JHA and the StepBack processes, Low Medium
Catastrophic
Negligible
Moderate
exposure is considered as Continuous.
Minor
Major
High Extreme
› Weight factors are associated to each component and the risk
Probability
Almost impossible
level equals the product of the three components. The risk level Conceivable
varies on a scale of four levels (Low, Medium, High and Extreme). Possible
› Example of the risk matrix when Exposure is continuous Has happened
(as used by JHAs and the StepBack process): Almost certain
o LOW: Any task that has this risk ranking is generally

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
acceptable and can be actioned by routine procedures. The

work environment and methodology present minimal risks to
personnel and the environment.
o MEDIUM: Any task that has this risk ranking is only acceptable if the Risk is ALARP and there is
a defned action plan in place. ALARP assessments should be completed by suitably qualifed and
experienced persons. Personnel completing tasks which are in this band should be fully aware of
the risks which exist and the control measures put in place to minimize them.
o HIGH: Any task that has this risk ranking must not be completed. It should be refned or further
control measures put in place to reduce risk.
o EXTREME: Any task that has this risk ranking must be immediately STOPPED. Control measures
must be put in place to bring the risk to a low / medium level before any work continues.
3.1.1 Risk Register

An active risk register shall be maintained to catalogue the signifcant risks and their control methods.
Those who best understand the risks should participate in facilitated meetings to prepare a ranked list of
the current and anticipated risks.

The risk register allows proper resource allocation to manage the risks. At the beginning of the project or
operations, only high-level risks are identifed and prioritized. As more specifc risks are identifed, detailed
controls shall be implemented to manage them. Although various methods may be used, the preferred
risk register tool is the corporately supported Active Risk Manager (ARM).
It is expected that all SNC-Lavalin Projects / Operations (with a minimum of twelve thousand expected
annual worked hours) and all home offces shall have a risk register in place. The risk register shall be
reviewed at a minimum of three-month intervals and be updated more frequently based on audit and
inspection fndings, corrective actions from incident investigations and pre-mitigated risk levels.
The risk register shall:

› Be developed and updated for all Sites.
› Be initiated, facilitated, populated and managed by the HSE representative.
› Be compiled by multi-disciplinary teams.
› Have pre and post-mitigation risk calculations.
› Identify risk owners and defne action items with specifc timeframes.
› Be accessible by all stakeholders.
3.1.2 Environmental Aspects Impacts Register

An active Environmental Aspects Impacts register shall be established to determine the Signifcant
Environmental Aspects (SEA) and their mitigation measures. Sites shall implement and maintain this
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
register in consultation with relevant activity team members. Criteria used to determine the SEA shall
be«documented.
The Environmental Aspects Impacts register shall be reviewed whenever there are changes in the
activities so that the SEAs are refected at all times.
The Environmental Aspects Impacts register shall at a minimum contain the following information:
› Environmental Aspects associated with upstream, on-Site and downstream activities over which
SNC-Lavalin exercises control or infuence.
› Environmental Impacts resulting from the aspects.
› Assessment of the SEAs.
› Reference to control measures.
6831.2.1 Environmental Aspects Impacts Identifcation Guidelines

3.1.3 Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
The Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a comprehensive safety and / or environmental hazard assessment
process intended to establish standardized, safe and specifc methods of work. A JHA shall be
conducted in advance for work activities identifed in the risk register and / or Environmental Aspects and
Impacts register. It is not expected that JHA’s be conducted for routine offce work activities.
SNC-Lavalin Employees shall prepare JHAs prior to visiting Non-Controlled Sites such as clients’ or
suppliers’ facilities.
For example, a JHA would be required for:

› Repetitive Job: Construction of 25 guideway foundations; unloading hazardous materials containers
from trucks.
› Single Complex Job: A single crane lift using multiple cranes; installing a section of elevated form work;
placing bridge footing in a watercourse.
JHAs for routine activities are developed by BUs and posted as templates on the HSEKN to be used as
reference documents.
6831.3.1 Job Hazard Analysis SOP

6831.3.2 Job Hazard Analysis Work Sheet
3.1.4 StepBack
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The SNC-Lavalin StepBack process is a guided feld-level hazard assessment tool. SNC-Lavalin utilizes
the StepBack process to identify hazards and the appropriate controls in a consistent and systematic
manner. It prompts all SNC-Lavalin personnel and Contractors to step back two meters and take two
minutes to think critically about their working environment.
Work teams or individuals shall participate in the StepBack process at the start of each day, new task
and / or when the scope of work or hazard conditions have changed and prior to commencing any task or
activity. StepBack is a documented discussion of the HSE hazards, associated controls and subsequent
risk levels associated with the planned work for that shift / day. The activities of every team member, as
well as the activities of anyone else within the same area, shall be identifed, documented and adequately
controlled with a record retained.
All Sites are required to use StepBack and record their assessments on the StepBack card. Completed
StepBack cards are submitted to the Site management / HSE team. The completed cards are used to
identify and control potential unsafe behaviours and conditions. It is not expected that StepBack’s be
conducted for routine offce work activities.
Access to the e-learning module is provided on the Learning Zone, which is supported by Global Human
Resources. The StepBack e-learning module is a required course for all Employees.
6831.4.1 StepBack SOP

6831.4.2 StepBack Card

3.1.5 Hazard Elimination and Control
The hierarchy of controls is the preferred order to mitigate hazards and control risk levels:
› Elimination: Complete removal of a hazard.

› Substitution: Replacing the material or Elimination
process with a less hazardous one.
› Engineering: Designs or modifcations to Substitution
reduce the exposure to the hazard.
› Administrative: Limit exposure to hazardous Engineering
conditions or energies by procedural means
(e.g. timing of work, policies, signage and
Administrative
work practices).
› Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Last
PPE
line of defense: hazards are still present, and
PPE is used to reduce the potential for harm.
A number of these options may be considered and applied individually or in combination to ensure that
exposure to hazards is ALARP. If a hazard cannot be eliminated or mitigated effectively, all personnel
involved shall be informed of the hazard and the necessary precautions taken to avoid any unwanted
outcome or associated incident.
3.2 Compliance Obligations
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
All Sites must be able to demonstrate knowledge of and compliance with all applicable Occupational
Health, Safety (OH&S) and environmental requirements, regulations and laws in their respective
jurisdictions and geographical areas.
As appropriate, each Site shall ensure that:
› Compliance obligations are met in cooperation with the Legal Department.

› HSE programs are maintained through an ongoing review for amendments, additions and other changes.
› An HSE register of Compliance Obligations is maintained to identify HSE requirements for their
location and demonstrate compliance to them. This information shall be communicated to all relevant
personnel and other parties, as applicable.
› The HSE register of Compliance Obligations shall be reviewed at a minimum annually or when changes
are made.
› Applicable Compliance Obligations related to risk assessment and implementation of necessary
controls shall be considered.
6832.1 Compliance Obligations Register Template

3.2.1 HSE Compliance Evaluation
To validate conformity to their Compliance Obligations, Sites shall perform HSE Compliance Evaluations
on a periodic basis at a frequency determined by the Site.
They shall be conducted by professionals who have a robust knowledge of the local HSE legislation
applicable to the Site. The Compliance Obligations Register shall be used as a starting point.
The auditor shall be independent to avoid conficts of interest and to ensure the integrity of the
evaluation process.
3.3 Objectives and Planning

HSE is an integral part of the strategic planning process. GHSE establishes, implements and maintains
annual objectives to ensure consistency with the Global HSE Policy Statement commitments, continuous
improvement of HSE performance, as well as the effectiveness of the GHSEMS. These annual objectives
are proposed by GHSE to the EXCOM for review and approval.
These objectives consider HSE hazards, SEAs, elevated risk levels, technology, as well as fnancial, legal,
operational and business requirements. Progress towards achieving established objectives and targets is
monitored by GHSE and reported to the EXCOM, BU EVPs and Sector HSE representatives monthly.
Sectors shall comply with the specifc objectives and targets set annually by the GHSE group.
Additionally, each Sector may track its progress towards additional performance indicators based upon
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
their specifc needs and shall work towards the high-level sustainability targets belonging to HSE, i.e.
health, water, pollution, materials, climate change, biodiversity. For these high-level targets, please refer
to the Sustainability page on Infozone.

4.7 Management of Change
Management of Change is the process of ensuring strict control and communication of planned temporary
or permanent changes to project specifcations, standards, procedures, controlled design documents,
materials, equipment, execution plans, or commercial contracts to minimize the introduction of new
HSE hazards into the work environment. The Site Quality subject matter expert shall be consulted for
guidance on the processes and tools to complete the assessments.
As a minimum the following elements will be addressed:

› ontrol change consistently with regulatory requirements.
› Ensure that all aspects of change are properly registered, documented, tracked and communicated to
the project team in a concise and controlled manner.
› Ensure a change is not proposed or implemented unless there is a basis around improving safety,
operability, maintainability, legal, or environmental / regulatory / community and to document
the«same.
› Assign appropriate levels of approval for changes.
An HSE risk assessment (using Risk Register, Environmental Aspects Impacts Register, JHA and / or
StepBack as appropriate) shall be performed and documented prior to implementing any change to
ensure that it does not introduce risks to people, environment, property and surroundings. This exercise
must take into consideration both planned and unplanned changes, as well as sudden or gradual changes.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
All areas of potential change must be considered including:
› Equipment, processes and lay-out.

5.1 Performance Measurement and Monitoring
5.1.1 HSE Indicator Defnitions for Corporate Monthly Tracking

The SNC-Lavalin HSE indicators are meant to defne which work related events are tracked in an effort to
promote a HSE culture (leading indicators) and report work related HSE incidents (lagging indicators).
It is understood that these defnitions may not always match the reporting defnitions used by the
regulators in particular areas. It is recognized that in some cases, a Project needs to keep two sets of
numbers, one for local regulatory reporting and one to meet corporate reporting standards.
The objective is to collect HSE statistics using common metrics for all BUs so that the numbers can be
readily trended, tracked and compared.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

6851.1.1 HSE Indicators
5.1.2 HSE Statistics Database (BlueSky)

All Site HSE statistics shall be entered on a monthly basis into the HSE database, known as BlueSky
within the frst ten days of the month. All SNC-Lavalin Employees with a company login have access to
BlueSky (https://hses.snclavalin.com).
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
All incidents must be entered into BlueSky within 24 hours of occurrence. Awaiting assessment of
the classifcation of the incident shall not delay the incident being entered within 24 hours. Incident
classifcations can be changed from the initial assessment and the corresponding entry in BlueSky can be
revised as required.
6851.2.1 BlueSky – User Manual

5.1.3 HSE Perception Survey
To help management gauge the prevalent safety attitude of their personnel, it is recommended two
perception surveys be conducted annually.
There are two types of perception surveys:
1. Formal (organization sample)

2. Informal (e-survey)
These are designed to ensure that organizational changes and improvements are based on the realities of
risk, culture and performance trends. Our culture is a fundamental element and infuences SNC-Lavalin
performance at every level. Our managers and leaders need to know the mindset of their teams with
respect to HSE.
A standardized set of survey questions has been developed to gauge HSE perceptions. It is important for
each group interested in benchmarking to utilize these questions consistently.
There are many tools used to confdentially deliver the survey and tally the results. Please contact the
GHSE team for further information.
6851.3.1 HSE Perception Survey Sample Questions
5.1.4 Environmental Monitoring Program

Sites subjected to environmental monitoring requirements shall develop an Environmental Monitoring Program
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
to ensure they fulfll their obligations. An Environmental Monitoring Program shall include, at a minimum:
› Parameters to be monitored.
› Sampling or measurement location.
› Sampling or measurement frequency.
› Whom to report to.
› Reporting frequency.
› Standards / criteria to comply with.
› Reference documents.
Evidence of the results of monitoring, measurement, analysis shall be readily available and retained.
5.1.5 Instrument Calibration

Sites shall develop a process to ensure all monitoring and measuring equipment owned or leased
by SNC-Lavalin or, Contractors are functional and verifed / calibrated and maintained as per their
manufacturer’s recommendations.

5.2 Evaluation and Assessments
SNC-Lavalin’s evaluation and assessment program contributes to the company’s objective for continual
improvement in HSE performance by evaluating compliance with HSE requirements and standards.
An audit schedule is established by the VP, GHSE at the beginning of the year. Frequent updates during
the year are made to the audit program to refect changes in the scope of activities (e.g. new Projects /
Operations) and timelines.
The auditor shall be independent to avoid conficts of interest and to ensure the integrity of the
auditing«process.
There are two types of assessments at the corporate level:
1. Eye-on-Risk Safety Review

2. Corporate HSE Audit – minimum passing score of 90%
5.2.1 Eye-on-Risk Safety (EOR) Review

To verify the continued suitability and effectiveness of the Projects / Operations safety programs, periodic
management reviews such as EOR Safety Reviews should be conducted. This process helps management
identify issues that have the potential to affect safety, which are then mitigated or prioritized.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The EOR Safety Review provides both a qualitative and quantitative assessment of leadership, behaviour,
culture and systems. It is designed to help recognize hazards and take steps to manage the risk. The
objective of the EOR Safety Review is to engage management and front-line staff in project Site safety.
The EOR process is designed for projects with an established safety culture and consistent high scores
on the Corporate HSE Audit Tool. In collaboration with the senior BU HSE representative the VP, GHSE
will conduct or sanction EOR Safety Reviews as required. These are conducted to further enhance
safety«culture.
6852.1.1 EOR Processes and Procedures

6852.1.2 EOR Package

5.2.2 Corporate HSE Audit
The Corporate HSE Audit Tool shall be used both as a quarterly self-evaluation audit for Sites and a
corporate validation of compliance to SNC-Lavalin standards and best practices.
Sector HSE VP / Directors are encouraged to participate in the self-audits of their Projects / Operations
on a quarterly basis. Sector / BU-led audits are considered self-audits and will be reported as such in
BlueSky.
To validate all Sites’ adherence to the GHSEMS, the GHSE team will perform corporate audits. The audit
selection criteria include, but are not limited to:
› Reporting of leading indicators.
› Number of project hours recorded – high volumes are considered.
› Number of incidents reported – high volumes are considered.
› Disconcerting incident trends.
› Specifc client requests.
› Location – proximity of Sites in the same region.
› Previous Corporate HSE Audit score below 90%.
› Compliance Obligations.
Audits of Non-Controlled Sites are conducted using the CRCP and environmental tabs of the Corporate HSE
Audit Tool.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Upon completion of the Corporate HSE Audit, the report is sent by the lead auditor to the President and CEO,
Sector President, Sector HSE VP / Director, BU EVP / SVP, BU Operations Senior Manager, BU HSE Director,
Site Project Manager, Site Construction or Operations Manager and to the Site HSE Manager.
Following the issuance of the audit report, Sites are required to submit an action plan in BlueSky under the
Corrective Action tab within two weeks of the audit date to address all fndings that were identifed. All the
resulting corrective actions must be implemented to close the nonconformities as per the action plan. An
update on the corrective actions status to close the fndings must be submitted to the GHSE lead auditor
within 90 days of the audit date.

6852.2.2 Corporate HSE Audit Program

5.2.3 HSE Visit / Inspection
To record formal visits to our Sites and to initiate follow-up activities it is recommended that the Site
Inspection Report form be used. When corporate representatives make a visit or conduct a non-audit
inspection, this form will be used to document all agreed upon items.
Each EXCOM and OLG members is required to attend a minimum of two (2) Project / Operation HSE visits
per calendar year.
6852.3.1 Site Inspection Report
5.2.4 Site Inspection Program

Every Site shall implement a documented inspection program stating different inspection tiers and
frequency and responsible job functions. Corrective action plans shall be issued for each inspection in
case of nonconformities or substandard acts and conditions. Active participation will be mandatory from
all personnel, especially Site management representatives.
Personnel, who have relevant experience with the work being performed or being planned at the time of
the visit, shall conduct inspections. Management representatives should be familiar with the nature of
the work to be carried out and the potential associated hazards.
5.3 Incident Investigation, Nonconformity and Corrective Action

Incidents are surprise events that offer the opportunity for the organization to learn and change. The
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
investigation is our curiosity to understand unplanned outcomes as differences between work as planned
versus work as done. These differences should not be viewed as failures but unwanted results from
adaptations within our complex systems.
Investigations need to be conducted immediately after an event as those involved, directly or from a
distance, share the goal of determining what happened and will work together to not let it happen again.
While committed to quickly fnding out what changed, immediate notifcation and investigation should
not contribute pressure to results, nor fx a local problem with rash interventions. Unplanned outcomes
or these surprise events are prevented from being rehearsals for future events, locally or within the
company, when investigations look deeply past differences as errors but challenges within how the
system of people and plant interact.
5.3.1 Incident Management

To properly manage incident learnings:
› All incidents shall be entered into BlueSky within 24 hours of occurrence.
› All incidents to be reported and investigated utilizing the HSSE Incident Management SOP and
associated form(s). For recordable and / or high potential incidents (HiPo), root cause(s) shall be
established as detailed in the HSSE Incident Management SOP.
› The fnal incident investigation report shall be submitted to line management, the Sector HSE VP and
uploaded into BlueSky once approved. Investigation reports shall be uploaded within 14 days when the
investigation is internally led.

› For Controlled Sites where SNC-Lavalin is working on behalf of a client, the Project Manager shall
determine whether or not reporting to governmental authorities is an SNC-Lavalin responsibility or a
client responsibility. In all cases, the client shall be advised and reporting processes internal to SNC-
Lavalin shall be respected.
› Nonconformities and corrective actions are managed at the Site level. It is expected that Sites conduct
a risk evaluation of all corrective actions prior to implementation. All corrective actions generated by
incidents and fndings identifed during audits and inspections shall be tracked in BlueSky. Corrective
actions where the initial risk level is high or extreme shall be prioritized and closed in a timely manner.
› All recordable and HiPo incidents shall be reported to the President and CEO within 24 hours
of«occurrence.
› Upon incident occurrence, project line management shall notify the BU EVP / SVP and the BU HSE
representative. The BU EVP / SVP must immediately inform via email the President and CEO, Sector
President, Sector HSE VP / Director, EVP Project Oversight, and VP GHSE.

For all HiPo incidents, a BU specifc conference call must be held within 96 hours to discuss the condition
of those impacted or environmental damage. The call is not to review investigation fndings but ensure
that the incident is properly classifed with the information known, the investigation is resourced
appropriately and that preventative actions have been taken to secure the hazard and prevent further
risk. A record of this call shall be retained and made available upon request. A GHSE representative
shall be invited to participate in the call.
5.3.1.2 Incident Review Committee

The Incident Review Committee (comprised of VP, GHSE, Sector HSE VP / Director and members of the
GHSE team) meets on a weekly basis to review all recordable and HiPo incidents and related corrective
actions. When the potential (high / low) of an incident is questioned, the VP GHSE shall make the fnal
determination.
This committee further reviews the incident investigation, notifcation details and corrective action
closure rates. The following indicators are used to determine if effective learning opportunities are being
captured through incident management. The four metrics are:
1. Incident reported in BlueSky and notifcation to the President and CEO of recordable and HiPo incidents
within 24 hours.
2. A BU conference call held for all HiPo incidents within 96 hours of event occurring or event escalation
to HiPo.
3. Incident investigation completed and uploaded once approved, within 14 days for internally
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
led«investigations.
4. Corrective Actions closed on or before the original due date set in fnal investigation report and
in«BlueSky.
A monthly learning call will be held to review selected incidents chosen by VP GHSE with the President
and CEO and EVP Project Oversight. Leaders of the Sector, BU and Project of the selected incidents will
participate in the call to review the investigation learnings.
5.3.2 Serious Incident Communication Process

Defnition:
› Fatality; or
› Permanent disabling injury (e.g. loss of an eye, loss of a limb, paraplegia, etc.); or
› Several persons injured in a single event; or
› Major environmental catastrophe.
When a serious incident occurs at one of SNC-Lavalin’s Controlled Sites, the following communication
process shall be followed to inform SNC-Lavalin management and personnel:

In the event of a Serious Incident and once the emergency response issues have been taken care of, the
Project Manager shall inform the BU EVP and the BU HSE Director. The persons with the best knowledge
of the incident shall then complete the Incident Notifcation Form and submit it to the VP, GHSE who will
then circulate it to Corporate Communications, as per the procedure for the preparation and distribution
of an Express News bulletin. The Express News bulletin will be distributed within 24 hours to all
Employees with an SNC-Lavalin email address.
A formal one-page bulletin shall be drafted under the BU EVP’s signature and:
› Be prepared and distributed within 24 hours of the incident.
› For a Fatality, be distributed under the signature of the Sector President to all SNC-Lavalin Employees
through Express News.
› For all other Serious Incidents, distributed under the signature of the Sector President to the SNC-
Lavalin OLG.
› Contain only known, verifable facts about the incident (no assumptions or attachment of blame).
› Take into account the need to ensure the privacy for the Employee(s) involved.
› Include the victim’s name if the next of kin have been properly notifed.
The President and CEO will provide the information to the SNC-Lavalin Board of Directors, as required.

When a Serious Incident occurs on a Non-Controlled Site, a notifcation of the incident and the outcomes
will be sent to the VP GHSE, and President and CEO. Further actions as required for such events will be
under the direction of the VP GHSE.

5.3.3 HSE Observation
An HSE Observation is any unsafe condition or unsafe behaviour (no energy release) where no incident
occurred, but the possibility existed. These occurrences are to be immediately corrected and promptly
reported into BlueSky.
Although not mandated, a formal investigation of HSE Observations (unsafe behaviour / unsafe
conditions) is encouraged. This allows for proactive identifcation of improvement areas before they
become signifcant and turn into actual incidents.
Since HSE Observations are not actual incidents, HiPo classifcation shall not be applied to them.
Refer to 6851.1.1 HSE Indicators for further information and examples.
6853.3.1 HSE Observation Form
5.3.4 HSE Performance Matrix

To gain an overall understanding of the organization’s performance we must look both at the proactive
(leading) and reactive (lagging) indicators. A HSE Performance Index will be used to measure KPIs that
builds on itself annually with a weighted matrix which provides a single summative score by Site, BU,
Sector, etc. The elements measured in the matrix will be updated annually to align with the organization’s
HSE goals to focus in on the specifc areas that require improvement.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
6853.4.1 2021 HSE Performance Matrix
5.3.5 Perfect Days

A Perfect Day is any calendar day where no safety injury, security event (people related) or environmental
release occurred.
Perfect Days were introduced as a simple measure used to recognize picture-perfect 24-hour periods and
to help us focus on replicating them. It is not to say that another injury, event or release will never happen,
but it is our commitment to working each day with the attitude that every injury, event or release can be
learnt from and not repeated.
HSE Near Misses are not included in the Perfect Days calculations.
Perfects Days is about recognizing that efforts aimed at ensuring our people and the environment are
unharmed and will ultimately help to drive better performance.

6.0 Act

Types of management reviews:
› Sector monthly reporting of HSE statistics and review meeting.

› EXCOM meetings.
› Quarterly Safety Workplace and Project Risk (SWPR) Committee, Board of Directors meetings.
› Annual document review of the GHSEMS – December.
During these management reviews, an assessment of opportunities for improvement and change is
performed. Outputs of these management reviews are consistent with SNC-Lavalin’s commitment to
continuous improvement and will include any decisions and actions related to possible changes.
Relevant outputs of the management reviews are subsequently made available for communication and
consultation.

6.1.1 Resource Allocation Review
SNC-Lavalin management shall conduct an annual allocation review of HSE related resources.
Adjustments are made when necessary to ensure adequacy and appropriateness with regards to the
implementation of new initiatives and / or maintenance of ongoing program components. This will
coincide with the reviews mentioned in section 6.1..
6.1.2 Audit Review

SNC-Lavalin management shall review audit results (internal or external) in a timely fashion. Scoring and
audit results shall be posted in BlueSky and presented as a leading indicator in the monthly EXCOM report.
Timelines for completion of audit recommendations are dependent on both the associated risk and nature
of the recommendation.
6.1.3 Monthly Review

The strengths, weaknesses and suitability of the BUs HSE initiatives shall be reviewed on a monthly basis.
The status of investigations and corrective measures are reviewed, and any signifcant issues identifed
during risk assessments and regulatory developments are also to be discussed.
Performance is measured using:

› An evaluation of leading and lagging indicators with respect to industry standards, targets, historical
data, client requirements, etc.
› An evaluation of both internal and external audits, inspection reports and disciplinary reports to ensure
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
the Sectors HSE initiatives validity.

› Reviews of the overall assessment process to ensure adequacy, suitability and effectiveness in
managing risk.

6.2 Visible HSE Leadership
SNC-Lavalin management shall conduct frequent Site visits to clearly demonstrate their personal
commitment to promoting a positive HSE culture and to reinforce appropriate behaviours. Visiting
managers should also be informed of this initiative and be encouraged to participate fully to ensure
maximum impact.
6.2.1. Personal HSE Commitments

In order to foster a culture of interdependence we ask all of our personnel to complete a personalized
commitment. This helps to further the organizations progress towards reaching a mature and inclusive
HSE culture.
Displaying these pledges in prominent areas within workspaces (e.g. on offce wall next to cubicle, group
collection of commitments in central area, affxed to laptop, etc.) helps to visibly demonstrate each
individual’s commitment to HSE. This document includes a photo and personalized goals so that we can
hold one another accountable to make a difference.
Completed annual commitments shall be uploaded to Employee profle in Workday.
6862.1.1 2021 Personal HSE Commitment
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

6.3 Learning Organization
SNC-Lavalin’s HSE objective is to foster a ‘learning organization’ culture, where lessons learned are shared,
appropriate measures taken, and reports sent back to track the ‘live’ application of what has been learned.
6.3.1 Lessons Learned

For every incident classifed as High Potential and where the lessons learned have general application
throughout the organization, a lessons learned report shall be issued by the impacted BU.
Furthermore, the VP, GHSE may request lessons learned reports for specifc incidents that have general
application throughout the organization.
A lessons learned library is available on the HSEKN. All lessons learned reports shall be uploaded by
the BUs to this library. External lessons learned reports (e.g. for incidents having occurred on external
operations) can also be uploaded to the HSEKN if they are relevant to the SNC-Lavalin’s scope of
activities. All Employees are strongly encouraged to review lessons learned reports that are uploaded to
the repository and to actively share them within their BUs.
Lessons learned shall be distributed within the HSE function in a monthly summary of key learnings.
The monthly lessons learned summary report will be reviewed at a Site level. The review shall be held
with the Site JHSEC to review the identifed key learnings and consider how these could apply to their
local operations. These reviews need to consider moving past the differences of their operations to the
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
one that had the event, to looking for and considering the similarities (e.g. a pinch point injury is the same
regardless whether it takes place at a Nuclear Plant or a rail extension project).
For Serious Incidents, an electronic process is initiated by the President and CEO to all OLG members.
They are required to read the lessons learned report and they are prompted to detail why it does not
apply or demonstrate compliance with the lessons learned contained in the report. The gathered data
is then reported back to the President and CEO. This process is designed to close the loop on Serious
Incidents and ensure they are not repeated.
6863.1.1 Lessons Learned Report

6.4 Positive Incentive Program
At SNC-Lavalin, we have merged the benefts of a behaviour-based observation program and a reward
program to create our own Positive Incentive Program. To ensure that all Employees are engaged and
committed to the highest level of safety and environmental protection, SNC-Lavalin shall deploy this
unique Positive Incentive Program (or equivalent) on all SNC-Lavalin Controlled Projects / Operations.
This strategy is designed to include all Employees, including senior management and encourage
positive interactions and provides immediate feedback. This system focuses on rewarding proactive risk
management behaviour to improve outputs.
Experience shows any incentive program becomes effective and reinforces behaviours when it meets
three criteria:
Immediate Must follow immediately the action taken
Associating Must be tied to the identifed behaviours
Desirable Reward schemes are attractive for the target demographic
The intention is to reward efforts not results. The Positive Incentive Program empowers all stakeholders
to reinforce desired actions in a tangible way.

6.5 Blue Rules
SNC-Lavalin has adopted 14 Blue Rules. These rules shall be followed by all Employees and Contractors’
employees (on Controlled Sites) and are non-negotiable. A “just culture” approach shall be adopted
in order to determine the accountability of unsafe acts committed against the Blue Rules; as a result,
disciplinary actions could be enforced.
The Blue Rules are classifed under two groups: seven ‘Always’ behaviours and seven ‘Never’
behaviours.

Purpose
These indicators are meant to accurately and consistently track health, safety, environment (HSE)
incidents (lagging) and proactive efforts (leading).
The leading indicators are current best practices and the lagging indicators generally follow the United
States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. The objective is to collect
HSE data using common metrics for all Sectors and BUs.
It is understood that these defnitions may not always match the reporting defnitions used by the
regulators in particular jurisdictions. In some cases, a Site may need to keep two sets of numbers, one for
local regulatory reporting and one to meet the SNC-Lavalin corporate reporting standards inputted into
BlueSky.
1. Scope
The scope of this Procedure is defned in the Global Glossary.
2. Audience
This document applies to all SNC-Lavalin Controlled Sites, Employees and Contractors.
3. Defnitions
Refer to Section 1.6 of the GHSEMS and this document for additional defnitions.
All other Capitalized terms are defned in the Global Glossary.

All hours worked by direct hire SNC-Lavalin personnel who work in offces which are not physically
located at a Project / Operations Site.
Employees working in a home offce must always be reported against that home offce. Hours worked,
and incidents recorded for work done in the home offce for a Project should be entered against the home
offce, not the Project.
4.2 SNC-Lavalin Employees – Field
Field hours
Count / record all direct hire SNC-Lavalin Employee hours worked at Controlled or Non-Controlled Sites
including the offces at these Sites.
4.3 Contractor
All non-SNC-Lavalin labour is counted as Contractor hours

An individual who is neither a client nor a direct hire SNC-Lavalin Employee but who is on an SNC-Lavalin
Controlled Site (including home offces) for business reasons shall be included under the Contractor
category. This includes consultants, inspectors, subcontractors, suppliers (only counted when on an
SNC-Lavalin Controlled Site) and third-party visitors.
4.4 SNC-Lavalin Controlled / Non-Controlled Sites
Controlled site
A location (offce, Project, Operation) where SNC-Lavalin has full and contractual HSE responsibility.
The decision to include Contractor hours and incidents into our corporate reporting is dependent on the
defnition of an SNC-Lavalin Site. SNC-Lavalin has, owing to the diverse nature and locations of business,
INDICATORS
varying forms of contractual arrangements with its clients, JVs and / or consortium partners and
Subcontractors.
68 6851.1.1-EN-Rev.11 | 2021 Global HSE BlueBook | HSE Indicators

Regardless of the percentage of participation, in the case where SNC-Lavalin is the Prime Contractor
utilizing the SNC-Lavalin Global Health, Safety and Environment Management System (GHSEMS), the
Site is considered Controlled.
Non-Controlled site
The division of responsibilities is such that SNC-Lavalin does not control the workforce and / or work
processes. For example, SNC-Lavalin does the design and engineering while the JV partner hires the
Contractors and controls the construction / build activities.
A Site is generally considered to be Non-Controlled if contractually:
› The Project / Operation is a Joint Venture where SNC-Lavalin has less than 50% participation.
› The Project / Operation is a Joint Venture where SNC-Lavalin has 50% or greater participation in
the Prime Contractor partnership, however, HSE management for the project is performed using the
Partner’s programs and processes.

*The chart above indicates when hours and incidents are attributable to SNC-Lavalin.
4.5 At Work
Work-related
As only work-related incidents and events are tracked, the defnition of an Employee or Contractor being
“at work” is critical to collecting indicators on a common basis. This “at work” defnition does not cover all
situations. If a situation is not covered, refer to the OSHA regulations for guidance. INDICATORS
At work
An individual is deemed to be ‘at work’ while they conduct their duties in the course of employment
during paid regular or overtime hours.

Business travel
Employees or Contractors engaged in work activities “in the interest of the employer” and traveling in
company vehicles, rental vehicles, Contractor vehicles, airplanes, helicopters, etc., on company business are
considered to be ‘at work’. This includes persons who are traveling from home to the workplace for call out
purposes and persons traveling for business purposes to a location other than their normal work location.
Other examples of at work activities include travel to / from customer locations, conducting job assignments
(externally) and entertaining or being entertained to transact, discuss, or promote business (work-related
entertainment at the sole discretion of SNC-Lavalin Inc.).
INDICATORS

4.6 Not at Work
Not work-related
The Employee or Contractor is NOT recorded at work in the following situations:
Normal commute
› Traveling from place of abode to the workplace for a normal shift whether in commercial transport,
personal, company or rental vehicle.
› Workers being transported to the work Site, unpaid.
› Traveling from home to the Project Site on a fy-in fy-out basis on a normal rotation.
After hours
› When residing in camps, hotels, or other off-Site locations (home away from home).
› En-route to / from the camp / hotel or work Site.
› Time spent outside of working hours including eating meals (e.g. lunch break) or undertaking
recreational activities such as working out in a workplace ftness center.
Volunteer time
› Company sponsored events, workers not paid.
Off-Site work
› This applies to workers not normally working on our Controlled Site.
› An example of an incident not counted would be, a delivery truck driver, not normally working on our
Controlled Site, is moving materials for the purposes of SNC-Lavalin and has a roll over incident on a
public highway.
Non-work activities
› When an Employee takes a detour from a reasonably direct route of travel for personal reasons or
participates in activities not directed by their supervisor that could impact their behaviour
(e.g. consumes alcohol).
INDICATORS

4.7 Hours Worked
Counted hours
The number of hours that a company Employee or Contractor is performing his / her work-related
duties. This is the number of worked hours reported to payroll and applies to all Employees (supervisory,
professional, production, service, etc.) whether full-time or part-time.
Always record incidents for Employees and Contractors for whom worked hours are counted.
No multiple on overtime hours

For the sake of HSE reporting, ensure that each overtime hour is counted as only one hour, not as an
overtime multiple.
When possible do not include vacation, holiday, sick leave, or any other off-duty time, even if it is paid.
Estimated hours
All reasonable effort shall be made to collect and report accurate numbers although sometimes
Contractor hours may have to be estimated. When hours worked are estimated to meet reporting
deadlines, always replace the estimated hours with actuals within 30 days.
5. Secondment
Seconded Employees are not under the supervision (details, means, methods and processes by which the
work is to be accomplished) of SNC-Lavalin on a day-to-day basis and are not included in SNC-Lavalin
statistics for either hours worked, or injuries / illnesses incurred.
Tasks such as vacation / leave requests, compensation and benefts and drug screening are typically
considered human resource activities and do not rise to the level of day-to-day supervision. Employers
are required to record the injuries and illnesses or Employees they supervise even if these workers are not
carried on the employer’s payroll.
For the purposes of HSE reporting, seconded personnel are considered to be an Employee of the entity
they are taking daily direction from and being supervised by.
INDICATORS

6. Leading Indicators
Proactive measures
Leading indicators are a measure of proactive HSE efforts, behaviours and accomplishments. They help
increase management involvement and promote active participation while facilitating opportunities for
continuous improvement.

instill a culture where our commitments can be exhibited, respected and supported.
Every Employee shall complete their HSE Commitment (6862.1.1), display it prominently in their
workspace and upload it to their Workday profle.
6.6 Site Visit

Visible HSE leadership
It is important for all Employees to see our senior management engaged in HSE activities at our active
Sites through visits and participation in safety critical activities.
At a minimum, the visit must include participation in the Site orientation and involvement in a HSE
inspection. The visit is to be documented using the HSE Inspection Report form (6852.3.1).
INDICATORS

7. Lagging Indicators
Incident defnition
An unplanned energy release which results in an injury or damage. All incidents (energy release) can be
further ranked as high potential events.
In the case where a single incident results in multiple people being hurt, the event is logged as a separate
incident for each injured individual.
Incident classifcation
High Potential (HiPo)
› Any incident that caused or had the potential to cause a serious injury or signifcant environmental impact.
If the circumstances would have been slightly different an even worse outcome would have occurred.
› Examples of HiPo incidents are:

o A fall from height that resulted in a worker being suspended from his / her fall protection lanyard.
o An excavation collapses which was normally occupied by workers.
o Contamination of a water body used for drinking water.
o Improper transport and disposal of hazardous waste.
7.1 Near Miss (NM)
Incident with no injury or environmental release

Any unplanned event (energy release) that did not result in any harm and / or treatment required. These
would also include property damage incidents with potential for harm.
While we acknowledge that considering an incident a near miss when property damage is incurred
may be inconsistent with industry norms, our primary focus remains people. Property can be repaired
or replaced, returning our people home each day in the same condition in which they arrived is our
principal«commitment.
Examples of a near miss incident are:

› A tool drops from height into a normally populated work area but does not result in an injury.
› A collapse of an excavation which does not result in an injury.
› Leaking oil from a vehicle which was contained in a spill tray.
INDICATORS
› Hydrocarbon spill fully contained on an intact impervious surface.

› Elbow with minor bruising not requiring frst aid treatment.
› A vehicle collision with no injury.

7.2 Environment Incident (EI)
Unplanned release
Any unplanned release of a liquid, solid or gaseous contaminant, regardless of the quantity to the
uncontrolled environment or damage to protected fora, fauna or habitat or to cultural heritage.
Environment incidents can be classifed into the following categories:
› Emission – gas leak.

› Habitat – disturbed or affected.
› Hazardous substance release – sewer.
› Hazardous substance release – surface water.
› Hazardous substance release – to land.
› Waste – improper storage / disposal.
› Other incidents.
7.3 First Aid (FA)
Minor injury
A minor occupational injury, which requires frst aid treatment and allows the worker to return to normal
duties on the same day or at the start of the next scheduled shift.
Treatment which is precautionary only (as noted by the attending physician) does not escalate a frst aid
into a medical aid incident.
Examples of treatments for frst aid injuries are:
Skin treatment
› Cleaning, fushing, or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin.

› Using hot or cold therapy such as cold compresses or hot pads.
› Using wound coverings such as bandages, band aids, gauze pads, etc. or using butterfy bandages or
steri-strips (wound closing devices such as sutures or staples are considered medical treatments).
INDICATORS

Supports
› Using any non-rigid means of support such as elastic bandages, wraps, or non-rigid back belts (devices with
rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts of the body are considered medical treatments).
› Using temporary immobilization devices while transporting an injured person including splints, slings, neck
collars, backboards, etc.
› Using fnger guards.
› Using eye patches.
Object removal
› Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation or a cotton swab.
› Removing splinters or foreign material from areas other than the eye by irrigation, tweezers, cotton
swabs, or other simple means.
Medication
› Having a doctor prescribe medication for a work-related injury on a one-time basis as a precautionary
measure that does not require a follow up visit to the doctor (e.g. one-time prescription for pain relief,
precautionary antibiotics). This does not include an injection for pain relief.
› Using non-prescription medication.
› Administering immunizations.
Other
› Using massages (physical therapy or chiropractic treatments are considered medical treatments).
› Drinking fuids for the relief of heat stress.
INDICATORS

7.4 Medical Aid (MA)

the worker to return to normal duties on the same day or at the start of the next scheduled shift.
Criteria
› Medical treatment was required beyond frst aid.

› The procedure(s) provided by the doctor were not diagnostic only.
› The injury was work-related and was not a pre-existing condition.
X-rays
› Any broken bone(s) as confrmed by x-ray are considered medical treatment. This is regardless of
whether additional medical care is required (e.g. broken rib, which may not require further treatment).
7.5 Modifed Work (MW)
Able to work
An occupational injury requiring the worker to abstain from their regular duties as assigned by a medical
professional. The worker is still capable of going to work and performing other (alternate and / or
restricted) duties.
7.6 Modifed Work Days (MWD)
Restricted duties
The number the days where a worker abstains from their regular duties and performs alternate duties
because of a Modifed Work Incident. Only days the worker would have normally worked are counted
as«modifed.

hepatitis, tumours, cancers, etc.).
› An aggravation of a pre-existing condition by an occupational incident would not be considered work related.
*The above list of chronic injuries should be reported to and addressed by Human Resources.
Count only once

An incident should never be counted twice. For example if a MA becomes an LT, it is removed from the
MA category permanently. INDICATORS

9. Perfect Days
Perfect Days were introduced as a simple measure used to recognize picture-perfect 24-hour periods and
to help us focus on replicating them. Perfect Days is about recognizing that efforts aimed at ensuring our
people and environment are unharmed and will ultimately help to drive better performance.
A Perfect Day is any calendar day where no safety injury, security event or environmental release occurred.
What IS included?
First aid incidents, environment incidents, medical aid incidents, modifed work incidents, lost time
incidents and fatalities are included in the Perfect Days calculation.
Level I, II and III security events are included in the Perfect Days calculation where they are people
related.
Please refer to the HSSE Incident Management Global Security Guidelines on the Global Security
Infozone page for the complete list of security incidents, their associated levels and the process for the
notifcation and reporting of security incidents.
What is NOT included?

Near Miss HSE incidents are not included in the Perfect Days calculation.
INDICATORS

10. Frequency Calculations
The OSHA standard for safety frequencies is to multiply the number of incidents by 200,000
(the approximate base number of hours worked by 100 full-time workers for one year). The product is
then divided by the total hours worked.

CRCP
Introduction
CRCP
Purpose
The Critical Risk Control Protocols (CRCP) provide the controls deemed necessary to prevent fatalities,
serious incidents and injuries arising from the most common hazards and associated risks encountered
by our business activities.
Scope
These Protocols apply to all SNC-Lavalin Controlled Sites and activities, and to all SNC-Lavalin Employees,
Contractors and visitors when involved in these controlled activities.
The mandatory requirements of these Protocols are listed as “shall”. Best practices and additional
controls are listed as “should”.
You must read and use these Protocols in conjunction with SNC-Lavalin’s Global Health, Safety and
Environment Management System (GHSEMS) and associated standards.
Legal Framework
SNC-Lavalin operates a diverse range of businesses in different countries and cultures around the world,
all with varying legal frameworks. When applying procedures and practices to meet the needs of these
Protocols, you must comply with the relevant legislation. If client or local legislation requires controls
that are more stringent, it is SNC-Lavalin’s policy to comply with them fully.
Risk Management
These Protocols do not provide coverage of all risk areas. Other risk areas may exist and should be
addressed through our risk management processes. Consequently, beyond simple compliance with
each mandatory Protocol, SNC-Lavalin recognizes that appropriate (and documented) risk management
principles are also required. The objective is to identify, control and reduce the likelihood of incidents
through investigation, assessment and understanding of the hazards associated with all our activities.
For additional information. Refer to section 3.1 of the GHSEMS
Critical Risk Control Protocols | 2021 Global HSE BlueBook | 6845.1.1-EN-Rev.14 89

Hierarchy of Controls
CRCP
The preferred order to mitigate hazards and control risk levels is:
1. Elimination: Remove the hazard completely.

2. Substitution: Replace the material or process with a less hazardous one.
3. Engineering: Design or modify activities to reduce the exposure to the hazard.
4. Administrative: Implement procedures to limit exposure to hazardous conditions or energies
(e.g. timing of work, policies, signage and work practices).
5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Hazards are still present; PPE only reduces the potential for
harm. It is your last line of defense.
Consider a number of these options and apply individually, or in combination to ensure that exposure to
hazards is ALARP.
Be aware that changing conditions can infuence the nature of hazards and extent of the risk level.
Monitor and Measure

Monitor and measure the control effectiveness as part of the risk management process for all SNC-Lavalin
Controlled Sites. This is accomplished globally using BlueSky for capturing and analyzing HSE data.
Variance
If for any reason a Site is unable to meet the requirements of these Protocols, the Site shall use the
Variance process in the SNC-Lavalin GHSEMS.
GHSEMS
The GHSEMS is the foundation for all our HSE management processes. It is the governing corporate
document that outlines expectations for all SNC-Lavalin Sectors and BUs to support a “one company”
approach to HSE.
The GHSEMS is hierarchical, where any company HSE documents and systems must meet and support
the requirements at each level.
E-Learning
E-Learning modules are available to raise awareness of the requirements of the CRCPs. Completion
of the CRCP e-learning modules (or offine facilitated training session) is mandatory for all applicable
SNC-Lavalin project / operations (feld) based employees.

Fall«Protection (Prevention, Restraint or Arrest) device.
The use of handrails is mandatory when ascending or

descending any staircase.

Falls from heights have contributed to a signifcant
2. Fall Restraint
portion of our incidents. The causes and
contributing factors have included:
1. Fall Prevention
› Lack of guards or barricades on foor and
wall openings, edges, Excavations walkways
and«stairwells.
› Incorrect set-up of ladders, elevated work
platforms and scaffolds.
› Lack of planning and hazard assessment.
› Failing to wear or properly attach a harness. 3. Fall Arrest
› Incorrect use of a harness.
› Lack of or insuffcient training.
› Poor design of Sacrifcial Platforms.
5.2 Requirements
CRCP
5.2.1 Legislation
Obey all applicable OH&S legislation, standards and industry codes of practice. For example, UK Guidance
exceeds SNC-Lavalin standards and shall be complied with in that jurisdiction.
5.2.2 Height Requirements

Implement Fall Protection planning where there is potential to fall more than 1.8 meters (6’) or when
working near a foor opening or an unguarded edge.
Stickers should be placed at 1.8 meters (6') as a visual reminder to workers to wear Fall Protection when
working above it.
1.8 meters/6 feet

6845.1.3-EN-Rev.1

Include working at heights activities in the risk register planning process.
If the working at heights activities identifed in the risk register require further detailed evaluation (e.g.
repetitive task or single complex task), conduct a JHA.
Always consider elimination as the preferred methods of control. Undertaking part or all of a task from
the ground can eliminate or signifcantly reduce the exposure to falling.
If the hazard of falling cannot be eliminated, implement engineering controls prior to implementing the
use of Fall Arrest equipment. The use of fxed guardrails, wall construction, control zones and foor
coverings will prevent workers from accessing an open edge and being exposed to a fall.
Conduct a StepBack before working at heights
CRCP
to understand all associated hazards. Consider
the following:
Lanyard
› Total Fall Clearance Required = length
Lanyard length + Deceleration

distance (shock absorber) + Height to
worker’s back D-ring + Safety factor of Total fall Deceleration
1 meter (3.3’). clearance distance
required (shock absorber)
› Potential of falling objects.
› Selection of anchor and tie-off points.
Height to
› Selection of appropriate Barricading workers back
D-Ring
and / or Demarcation.
› Rescue systems and equipment.
› Inclement weather and other Safety factor of 1 meter (3.3’)
environmental conditions (e.g. wind,

snow, ice). This can double the peak
arresting forces.
5.2.4 Using Personal Fall Arrest Equipment

Implement a JHA for the correct use of personal Fall Protection equipment including:
› Equipment selection and use.
› Equipment inspection.
› Anchor and tie off points.
› Training and competency of personnel.
› Disposal of defective equipment (e.g. equipment that has been subjected to a load).
A personal Fall Arrest system includes a full body harness with trauma straps, an anchor point, and a
connecting device. Only use synthetic fber harnesses. Always use a shock-absorber or fall restrictor
(e.g. Self-Retracting Life-Line (SRL) or lanyard) in all Fall Arrest systems unless the use of such a
device would cause the worker’s fall distance and danger to be increased during a fall. The maximum
acceptable free fall distance is 1.8 meters (6’).
Use all Fall Protection equipment with the relevant approved design standards and follow all
manufacturers’ specifcations.
The use of body belt(s) is prohibited except for specialized tasks, such as pole-climbing when belts are
worn by specially trained workers.
5.2.5 Self-Retracting Life-Line
CRCP
Use a self-retracting life-line instead of a lanyard when worker mobility and Fall Arrest is required. Use the
SRL in accordance with manufacturer’s specifcations. This allows for maximum mobility and reduces
potential fall distance signifcantly.
5.2.6 Lanyards
Attach all lanyards to a secure anchor point, preferably located overhead. Only use synthetic fber lanyards.
Due to the negative effect on working capacity, never hook lanyards back onto themselves.
5.2.7 Anchor Points

Plan and clearly identify anchor points when designing Fall Protection systems. Anchorage
requirements«include:
› Strength – capable of supporting 22.2 kN (5,000 lbs) or 2 times the maximum expected arresting
force. Anchor points should be independent of the work platform, guardrail system or surface /
structures supporting employees.
› Location – anchor points should be located overhead to minimize free fall distance. Minimum height
policy for most lanyard anchorage is shoulder level and overhead for SRL and rope grab lifelines. When
anchorage is below shoulder level, attempts should be made to shorten lanyards and increase shock
absorbing capability.
› Suffcient fall clearance – calculate the total fall distance to ensure anchorage height is suffcient to
prevent lower level contact. Also, ensure lateral movement from fxed anchorage does not create a
swing fall hazard.
Where it is not practical to install dedicated anchor points, identify a suitable anchor point through a risk
assessment process and ensure each point is approved by a Competent Person.
5.2.8 Lifelines
Design and have approved all installed lifelines by a professional engineer. Identify with a weatherproof tag,
the maximum design weight, number of persons rating and the inspection date.
5.2.9 100% Tie-Off

100% tie-off shall be utilized for all work done at height. Where the work method requires persons to
detach and re-attach Fall Arrest equipment at height, use two SRLs (or a y-shaped with two hooks) to
ensure that at least one connection point is maintained (100% tie-off).
5.2.10 Fall Protection Equipment Inspection
CRCP
Ensure a Competent and authorized Person inspects and documents all Fall Protection and rescue
equipment, once every three months. An equipment list and tagging system shall be in place to indicate
compliance.
Visually inspect all Fall Protection equipment daily and / or prior to use.
Destroy immediately and remove from Site any defective Fall Protection equipment or any equipment
that has been subjected to any loading. If not immediately feasible, remove from service and tag
“DO NOT USE”.
5.2.11 Rescue Planning

Prepare for, communicate, and conduct documented drills to test the emergency rescue plan for the rapid
retrieval of personnel in the event of a fall from height. Response time is critical to avoid Suspension Trauma.
5.2.12 Floor Openings

Floor openings are defned as a 0.3 meters (12”) or greater gap in its least dimension. Prevent related
falls by protecting all foor and roof openings with a cover capable of supporting at least twice the weight
of workers, equipment and materials that may be imposed on the cover at any one time. Covers shall be
secured to prevent inadvertent displacement by clearing the underside, tying the cover to grating or other
means can help prevent displacement. Adequately identify that there is a foor opening beneath the
cover. If unable to do so, fully barricade the fall hazard area with a proper guardrail and restrict access.
5.2.13 Stairway Floor Openings

Prevent falls by protecting all stairway foor openings with a railing. The railing must protect all open
sides except the stairway entrance. Use a hinged cover and a removable railing where traffc across an
infrequently used stairway foor opening prevents the installation of a fxed railing.
5.2.14 Falling Objects

Prevent tools, materials and other objects from falling from height using toe boards, screens, hole covers
(greater than 5 centimeters or 2”), tool tethers, equipment hoisting bags, canopy structures, etc.
5.2.15 Working Alone

Ensure no person works alone when working at heights. Ensure there are other personnel in the vicinity
that can be alerted in case of an emergency.
5.2.16 EWP
CRCP
Select the proper EWP for the job so that workers are not required to stand on the mid or top rails of the
platform. Obey the requirements (both legislated and manufacturer) for use of all types of EWPs.
Non-integrated work platforms (man-baskets) are acceptable provided they are adequately secured,
certifed and engineered to safely conduct the specifc tasks at height.
Ensure a copy of the EWP operating manual is available with the EWP for use by the operator.
Use a harness and lanyard attached to the designated anchor point. Fall Restraint is required therefore
always use the shortest lanyard possible to contain the worker in the basket.
5.2.17 Inspecting an EWP

Ensure appropriate warning devices, labels and stickers are in place.
Conduct a documented inspection prior to the use of an EWP. Do not use if any defciency that affects
the safe operation of the equipment is identifed.
5.2.18 Barricading an EWP

Set up a safe perimeter (Barricading) around the equipment while in use. These perimeters or exclusion
zones help to protect EWP operators and ground staff.
5.2.19 Moving an EWP

Before moving the EWP know and understand manufacturing restrictions regarding travel. Restrictions
may cover:
› Position of stabilizers and / or outriggers.

› Position of extendible axles.
› Platform position (including extension).
› Traversing or elevating on grades or slopes.
An EWP should not be driven while extended. Travel only in the full-down, stowed position for maximum
stability and drive at the slowest speed. Ensure the operator has a clear view of the travel direction and
an understanding of the ground conditions (e.g. recently excavated, soft, wet, etc.).
Prior to movement, the operator in an EWP should notify all those in the immediate vicinity.
Properly identify trapping as a potential hazard (the potential to be caught between an object and the
basket or controls of the EWP). Ensure that all personnel are aware of the hazard and how to avoid it.
It is recommended to use the lowest speed for the boom lift motion or operation and to install
and utilize internal handholds. Metatarsal protection boots shall not be used with foor mounted
dead-man«switches.
5.2.20 Spotter
CRCP
When working from an EWP, ensure that a trained spotter is able to lower the platform in the event
of an emergency. If this is not possible, ensure the equivalent engineered control(s) are in place
(e.g. automated proximity warning systems, anti-crush devices, etc.).
› With one person using an EWP, spotters must maintain continuous visual and audible contact with
the worker in the EWP.
› With two persons using an EWP, a spotter must be within proximity and ensure audible (e.g. radio)
contact with workers in the EWP.
NOTE: One spotter can supervise multiple EWPs in the same vicinity.
5.2.21 Suspended Work Baskets

Obey the requirements of the relevant approved design standards for all forms of suspended workbaskets.
Operate Cranes and hoists for suspended workbaskets at appropriate load capacities and in a safe manner.
Wear a correctly ftted harness attached by a lanyard to a suitable independent anchor point
(separate from the attachment point of the basket) when working in suspended baskets.
5.2.22 Ladders
1 Meter
Select the appropriate ladder for the work environment
(e.g. non-metallic ladder when working near electrical
equipment). h = height to point
of support
Visually inspect ladders for defects and proper setup I = overhang distance
prior to use. Tag out of service if defective. 4 to 1 Ratio
Place ladders on frm and level surface. h

as such.
› Always maintain 3-points of contact when on a ladder.
*Except for restricted conditions for stepladders (A-Frame) described below.
When ascending or descending a ladder, 3-points of contact are considered acceptable Fall Protection for
fall exposures of less than 6 meters (20’). Always face the ladder directly when moving up or down.n.
5.2.23 Vertical and Extension Ladders
CRCP
Use vertical and extension ladders for access and egress only, not as work platforms.
Extend extension ladders a minimum of 1 meter (>3’) above the landing / step-off area
when using.
Tie extension ladders at the top and bottom to secure them in place. If unable to do so,
a second person must stabilize the ladder while it is being secured.
Maintain a 4-to-1 ratio between the extension ladder and the ground when in use.
Always remain between the side-rails.
Vertical ladders where the climb above the lower level or where a single length is
greater than 6 meters (20’) workers shall be protected by:
› A ladder safety device such as an SRL or a rope grab system; or

› Each section is provided with a cage and landing platforms at maximum intervals of 6 meters (20’).
5.2.24 Stepladders
Stepladders (A-Frame) should only be used when other options are not available for short-duration and
limited-complexity tasks (e.g. changing a light bulb) where sideways forces (e.g. large cable pulling,
drilling, etc.) are not required. The person doing the light work shall be accompanied by another worker
who holds the ladder until the task is completed.
If the possible fall distance is more than 1.8 meters (6’) use
of Fall Protection is required or suitable alternatives utilized
following a documented risk assessment.
3-points of contact must always be maintained while using a

ladder. At all times during ascent, descent, and working, the
climber must face the ladder and have two hands and one foot,
or two feet and one hand in contact with the ladder steps, rungs
and / or side rails. If unable to follow the above, consider using a
platform ladder or follow suitable alternatives once risk assessed
and documented.

9.0 Protocol 9 – Temporary Works
CRCP
9.1 Overview
9.1.1 Purpose
Temporary Works (TW) are the parts of a construction project that are needed to enable the permanent
works to be built. Usually the TW are removed after use – for example, access scaffolds, props, shoring,
excavation support, falsework, and formwork, etc. Sometimes the TW is incorporated into the permanent
works – for example, haul road foundations and crane or piling platforms may be used for hard standing
or road foundations.
TW are an “engineered solution” used to support or protect either an existing structure or the permanent
works during construction, or to support an item of plant or equipment, or the vertical sides or side-
slopes of an excavation during construction operations on site or to provide access.
It is very important that the same degree of care and attention is given to the design and construction of
TW as to the design and construction of the permanent works. As TW may be in place for only a short
while there is a tendency to assume, they are less important. This is incorrect. Lack of care with design,
selection, assembly, etc. leaves TW liable to fail or collapse. This places people at risk of injury and can
cause the project to be delayed.
This protocol requires the risk of TW to be managed in a way which is proportionate to the risk and
complexity on each project. On projects with relatively simple TW needs, you may choose not to appoint
a full-time Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC). However, you must still make sure that TW are properly
managed to ensure safety.
9.1.2 Scope
This protocol applies to all temporary equipment and structures that require engineering design and / or
certifcation for installation and use.
This protocol applies to all TW such as falsework, formwork, earthworks, support systems, temporary
fencing, hoarding, scaffolding, job site elevators, haul roads, site cabins, tower or mobile crane bases,
complex lifts including tandem lifts, tunnels, shafts and portals, demolition and cofferdams. It includes
any temporary effects upon the permanent works caused by construction operations and phasing and
temporary structures which will later form part of the permanent works.

The intent of this protocol is to eliminate or minimize the risks of fatalities, injuries and events arising
from structures designed and erected specifcally to facilitate the construction of the permanent works,
but which are not intended to form part of the permanent works.
9.2 Requirements
CRCP
9.2.1 Legislation
Obey all prevailing legislated requirements, applicable OH&S and environmental legislation, standards,
and industry codes of practice when working with TW. This document is managed to meet the
requirements of the British Standard 5975 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
for the UK. If these standards or other prevailing legislation exceeds SNC-Lavalin standards, they shall be
complied with for that jurisdiction.
A professional engineer shall certify all TW system that falls outside of the requirements of this Protocol.
9.2.2 Responsibilities
To eliminate the risk of fatalities and reduce the potential for injuries and incidents when working in and
around Excavations and trenches.
Designated Individual
A Designated Individual (DI) will be appointed by a senior director in each project as required.
› Each DI is responsible for establishing, implementing, and maintaining this procedure together with
project HSE.
› Each DI will maintain an up-to-date list of competent TWC and TWS in their project
9.2.2.1 Project Manager

The Project Manager shall ensure a suitable TWC is properly appointed where required to coordinate
any TW activities on a project. The Project Manager shall also defne the roles and responsibilities of
each of the TWC appointed and where there is more than one TWC, defne the reporting structure and
responsibilities in writing.
The Project Manager shall ensure the TWC has full support, and authority, in carrying out his duties
and shall advise the TWC of any known specifc TW requirements, and any specifc Client TW related
requirements.
On smaller projects where the demand for a TWC is not a full-time role, the TWC position may be a
dual role with other responsibilities at the discretion of the Project Manager. Where a TWC has dual
responsibilities, his primary responsibility is that of TWC. It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to
ensure the allocated TWC resource can meet the demand of the project.
9.2.2.2 Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC)

The TWC shall ensure this procedure is properly and effectively implemented.
The TWC is responsible for;
CRCP
› Facilitating the controls for the design, checking, installation, inspection, loading/use, and removal
of«TW.
› Ensuring the structural integrity of TW and their safety in use.
› Making sure work is following this protocol and local regulations.
› Liaising with the Project Manager to fully identify TW requirements.
› Developing the TW register.
› Co-ordinating and communicating with all parties during the delivery of TW.
9.2.2.3 Temporary Works Supervisor (TWS)

The TWS is appointed by the DI and responsible to the TWC. The TWS has the authority to stop works if
they are not being carried out satisfactorily and may assist the TWC in the manner defned in the TWS
Letter of appointment.
9.3 Process
9.3.1 Tender Phase

During the tender stage, the Bid Manager will establish and maintain a documented scope of TW and will
ensure that suitable resources are available in proportion to the risk of TW.
9.3.2 Designated Individual (DI)

The DI will maintain a list of competent TW coordinators and supervisors. The list will be reviewed and
updated by the DI as required but scheduled as per the project planned work schedule.
9.3.3 Temporary Work Coordinator

The PM will consider the requirement for TW and determine the level of TW resources based upon the
project specifcs.
Following either contract award or Client’s Notice to Proceed to construction, the Project Manager (PM)
and Designated Individual (DI) will jointly appoint the TWC(s) and TWS(s).
The appointee will, usually, be taken from an approved list of Competent Personnel held by the DI.
If it is proposed to appoint a person who is not on the approved list, that person is to be assessed and
approved by the DI. The duration and scope of this approval may be limited.
9.3.4 Temporary Works Supervisors (TWS)
CRCP
Where the PM and DI consider it necessary, one or more suitably competent TWS(s) will be appointed by
the PM and will assist the TWC in the supervision and checking of the TW.
9.3.5 Design Brief

A design brief should be prepared for each item of TW to serve as the focus for subsequent decisions,
design work calculations and drawings. It should include all data relevant to the design of the TW and
should be prepared in good time to allow for all subsequent activities. The brief may be relatively simple
for the smaller schemes, but for major work, more information will need to be collected and collated
before design work can commence. The TWC should ensure that an adequate design brief is provided to
the designer and design checker of the TW.
9.3.6 Design Check and Review

Before erection commences, the TW design should be checked for:
› Design concept
› Strength and structural adequacy (including foundations and lateral stability)
› Compliance with the design brief.
The design check should be carried out by independent Competent Persons. The ability and independence
of the checker should be greater where the TW are more complex or where new ideas are incorporated.
Recommendations for various categories of design check are given in Table 2 of BS5975:2019,

9.3.7 General Requirements
CRCP
The PM will be responsible for ensuring that the TW are carried out in accordance with the certifed
drawings and good practice, and are not subject to alteration or modifcation, unless authorised by
the«TWC.
The PM will ensure that the TWC is given adequate time, resource, information – including schedules of
TW prepared prior to contract, and support to allow their duties to be carried out fully and effectively.
Should the TWC consider this support is not being given, or considers their role is being compromised.
The TWC can seek assistance from the DI.
The TWC, while responsible to the PM in management terms, is a named person upon whom rests the
authority to either load, unload, authorise the use of, or suspend the use of, any TW. Following their
appointment, the TWC will familiarise themselves with this protocol and prevailing legislation. For
management purposes the TWC is responsible to the PM.
The TWC is required to maintain a TW Register during the project. The purpose of the register is to allow
the TWC to co-ordinate the TW with all relevant parties.
The register will include the following:

› A record of all TW, including items that may not require formal design / check arrangements.
› Each item of TW entered into the register will be assigned a unique site-specifc reference number.
This number will be use in all correspondence associated with that item of TW.
› Proposed design and check responsibilities, where necessary.
› Record issue of permits for loading and unloading.
› The inspection regime frequency based on risks and works, and defciency management.
Each distribution of the TW register is to be given an issue number and date. The register may be in an
electronic format and may be modifed to suit the circumstances of a project.
9.3.8 Erection, Use and Removal of TW

The TWC will control the design, checking, installation, inspection and dismantling of all TW in
accordance with this protocol with appropriate project forms and records.
The TWC will retain a copy of all documentation required by this protocol until completion of the project.
The TWC must ensure that details of any TW which form part of the permanent works are collated for
incorporation into the as-built drawings and the engineering fles.
9.3.9 Simultaneous Operations Interface
CRCP
TWC is to provide briefngs to work area supervisors on TW activities for their inclusion in site and task
risk assessments and JHAs. When work occurs that includes more than one work group, a simultaneous
operations review will be conducted to confrm the TW are designed for the requirements, loads and
measures required within the design.

Suspension Trauma Is the effect that can occur when a person’s legs are immobile in an upright
posture for a prolonged period, after an arrested fall with a Fall Arrest system.
The person is suspended and caught in an upright, vertical position and the
harness straps cause pressure on the leg veins. The blood fow to the heart is
reduced, resulting in fainting, restriction of movement or loss of consciousness.
This may lead to renal failure and eventually death, depending on a person’s
susceptibility. The condition may be worsened by heat and dehydration.

Purpose
The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (hereinafter referred to as the “SOP”) is to be a
tool to leverage our extensive knowledge and experience to continually improve our HSE systems and
performance. One way that we accomplish this is by actively learning from our experiences. All high-
potential (HiPo) and recordable incidents on our Sites (offces, operations and projects), or involving our
personnel need to be investigated with the express purpose of improving our performance, managed
systems, and to further reinforce our values. The depth and types of investigative processes required will
depend upon the signifcance and complexity of each individual incident.
This standard is designed to ensure that all HiPo and recordable incidents are investigated to establish
root cause, implement corrective actions and ultimately contribute to ensuring no repeat incidents occur.
1. Scope
The scope of this Procedure is defned in the Global Glossary.
2. Audience
This standard applies to all SNC-Lavalin Controlled Sites and Employees. Where SNC-Lavalin does not
hold primary responsibility (such as secondment of SNC-Lavalin staff to client operations), this SOP shall
INCIDENT
apply to incidents occurring within the applicable scope of work.
For Non-Controlled Sites, high potential incidents will be managed as appropriate for learning
opportunities.
3. Defnitions
Refer to Section 1.6 of the GHSEMS and 6851.1.1 SNC-Lavalin HSE Indicators for additional defnitions.
All other Capitalized terms are defned in the Global Glossary.
4. Responsibilities
› The VP GHSE is responsible for the content, administration and maintenance of this procedure. It shall
be subject to the annual review process.
Incident Management | 2021 Global HSE BlueBook | 6853.1-EN-Rev.8 199

› It is the responsibility of the Sector HSE VP to ensure that this procedure is fully implemented within
their respective BUs. Each BU / HSE Manager is responsible to make sure that this procedure is
implemented at their Sites.
› It is the responsibility of the BU and / or Site manager to ensure that the investigation team is
established to meet the requirements of this procedure and have the appropriate levels of authority and
resources to fulfll its mandate.
› The EVP Project Oversight is responsible to escalate to the CEO and EXCOM, as required.
5. Procedure
5.1 Incident Management Process
1. When an incident occurs the worker(s) involved will notify their supervisor. The supervisor will notify
their HSE team and review the incident and response required.
2. If the outcome of the incident is recordable and / or HiPo or it could likely escalate to becoming a
recordable and / or HiPo event, a notifcation shall be sent to the President and CEO and VP GHSE
within 24 hours of incident occurrence. The notifcation form (6845.2) shall be used to captures the
outcomes and facts known at the time and will not include investigation fndings or«speculation.
3. The incident will be uploaded into BlueSky within 24 hours of incident occurrence with the details
known at the time. The incident entry can be edited as new details emerge. To save a recordable or
HiPo incident, the actions taken to control the loss or protect the scene / machinery will be entered
and assigned. Corrective actions to address root causes will not be entered until the investigation
INCIDENT
has been approved by the Sector HSE VP / Director.
4. If the event is a HiPo incident, a BU conference call will be held with the Site leadership, Sector HSE
VP / Director and a GHSE team member within 96 hours of occurrence. This call is not to review
investigation fndings but to confrm the classifcation of the event and potential outcomes if layers
of protection had failed. If the event could have likely resulted in more signifcant outcomes it will be
reviewed by the Incident Review Committee to potentially be escalated to a«HiPo.
5. Once the Incident Investigation is complete and the report approved by the Sector HSE VP /
Director, the report will be attached to the BlueSky incident record and the corrective actions
entered with the due date and responsible person as per the investigation report. Corrective actions
will be tracked weekly by the Sector HSE VP / Director and the Incident Review Committee. On time
closure of corrective actions is tracked as a leading indicator.
6. HiPo incidents may be presented to the President and CEO with other leaders from the Project
Oversight group on a monthly basis to ensure that the organization is taking appropriate actions to
manage and learn from incidents.
200 6853.1-EN-Rev.8 | 2021 Global HSE BlueBook | Incident Management

5.2 Scale of Investigation
The scale of the investigation shall be determined by the Incident Review Committee and will be based
on the signifcance and complexity of the incident, and the opportunity to make improvements (see
table 1). If an incident is rated as a HiPo, but the circumstances of the incident are such that a team
investigation is not deemed appropriate because of the limited opportunity, or a technical investigation is
more appropriate, the business level authority shall approve this decision and provide the rational to the
VP GHSE as soon as possible.
When an investigation is not conducted by SNC-Lavalin (e.g. client or police led investigation) lessons
learned should still be shared when available.

5.3 High-Potential and Recordable Incidents
All recordable and HiPo incidents must be reported via line management through to the most senior
manager for the Site. The report shall be escalated to the President and CEO and VP GHSE within 24
hours of occurrence. All Serious Incidents shall be reported immediately. Thereafter, the responsible
line manager must ensure that the incident is investigated in accordance with Table 1: Incident category
and investigation schedule, to determine the root causes – immediate and contributory (organizational
/ systemic). The root causes must be addressed with an action plan and the fnal incident investigation
form must be submitted to line management and the Sector, HSE VP and it shall be uploaded into
BlueSky within 14 days of incident occurring.
Note that incidents on Non-Controlled Sites which have the potential for reputational risk for the company,
Project / Operation or client, must be reported to the BU, EVP for follow up.
5.3.1 Investigation Process for Incidents

The investigation is comprised of the following stages:
› Data gathering and fact-fnding phase

o Review of feld-investigation data, visit incident site, and interview employees (e.g. affected

to the incident, the Team Leader shall ensure that members of the team are not permitted to have access
to any copies of the investigation report (draft or fnal) outside of meetings of the investigation team.
5.3.3 Corrective Action Plan

› The accountable line manager will develop a corrective action plan to address the fndings and
recommendations of the investigation.
› Corrective action plans shall be practical and meet the intent of the investigation recommendations or
will clearly identify alternatives. When determining the permanent corrective actions, due regard shall
INCIDENT
be given to addressing the hierarchy of controls for possible elimination of the hazard, risk or systemic
issue which caused, or contributed to causing the incident. Administrative controls should be used only
as a last resort. The appropriate drop-down control shall be selected in the form for tracking purposes.
5.3.4 Investigation Final Report

A fnal report, along with an approved corrective action plan, shall be uploaded to BlueSky, no later than
14 calendar days after the incident occurred.
5.3.5 Follow Up

Table 2: ICAM Team composition to investigate a Serious Incident
For other recordable and HiPo Incidents, the Sector HSE VP / Director will determine the best qualifed
ICAM facilitators, in consultation with the VP GHSE.

5.5.2 Planning the Investigation
The ICAM Team must:
› Arrange incident site visits, interviews, data collection and investigation resourcing.
› Set up document control, recording and reporting procedures for the evidence gathered (e.g. risk
register, training records, work permits, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) completed, StepBack cards
completed, applicable inspections, minutes of tool box meetings, regulator notifcation, applicable
procedures, monitoring results, etc.).
› Confrm with the Site manager the reporting deliverables.
5.5.3 Conducting the Investigation

The Site manager must determine for the ICAM investigation: the boundaries or terms of reference, scope of
the ICAM Team’s jurisdiction, and requirements for legal professional privilege and confdentiality agreements.
The ICAM Team must:
› Collect information on events leading up to the incident, facts around the incident itself and what
occurred immediately after the incident, to build the timeline chart. Specialist input such as forensic
analysis may be required as part of the data collection process.
› Collect data from the following categories related to the serious incident.
o People: including but not limited to witnesses and relevant people involved.
o Environment: including but not limited to weather, workplace and incident scene.
o Equipment: including but not limited to vehicles, equipment, plant, tools and infrastructure.
o Procedures and documents: including but not limited to existing maps, charts documents, report,
risk analyses (JHA, StepBack) and photographs.
o Organization: factors in the GHSEMS affecting the incident outcome.
INCIDENT
› Use data collection techniques such as inspections, photography, physical evidence collection, witness
interviews, physical documents, records collection, and organizational information.
› Probe within each of the categories using the questions “who”, “what”, “where”, “when”, “why” and
“how” to ensure all the facts are uncovered.
› Concentrate on gathering factual evidence and avoid opinions, where possible, when interviewing.
Where a witness opinion is recorded, it must be made clear that it is an opinion.

5.5.4 Analyzing Data
As input to the ICAM report, the ICAM Team must develop a timeline chart in conjunction with the 5
why’s methodology to validate and organize the collected data.
To develop a timeline chart, the ICAM Team should:
› Identify the incident facts and document this on a timeline chart.

› Record the incident. Recording the incident facts formalizes the incident and identifes all the elements
within it. It also helps the ICAM Team to focus on the incident.
› Break down the incident into a sequential series of events with each step represented by a single box.
› When separate sequences of events converge to create an incident, draw separate timelines on the
timeline chart showing the interrelationship between those events.
Applying the ‘Five Why’s’ methodology:
› Select one of the timeline chart boxes and ask, “Why did the event happen?” and record the answer
beneath the event in the selected timeline chart box.
› If this answer does not identify the root cause of the event, ask “Why?” again and record the answer.
› Loop back to Step 1 until the ICAM Team agrees the root cause of the issue has been identifed. This
may take more or less tries than the fve “why’s”.
In due course, the ICAM Team must:

› Transfer information from the timeline into the ICAM chart for classifcation into the following categories:
o Organizational Factors: Do the factors identify a non-conformance with performance requirement
of the GHSEMS, which resulted in any task / environmental conditions, individual / team action or
absent / failed defenses to not be addressed?
INCIDENT
o Task / Environmental Conditions: Do the condition(s) describe something about the task demands,
work environment, individual capabilities or human factors that promoted errors and / or violations,
or undermined the effectiveness of the system defenses?
o Individual / Team Actions: Ddoes the fnding indicate an error or violation of a standard or
procedure, which lead to the incident?
o Absent / Failed Defences: Does the fnding describe the equipment, work process, control measure,
detection system, and procedure or attribute which normally prevents this incident or limits the
consequences?

The ICAM categories and factors chart is a means of selecting factors for each ICAM category. Use
the question: “Is this a contributing factor or a root cause?” to determine whether the item must be
transferred to the ICAM chart.

5.5.5 Action Plan and Reporting
The ICAM Team, in collaboration with Site management, must develop corrective actions to eliminate or
mitigate the risk of recurrence to an ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable) level.
The ICAM Team must apply the hierarchy of controls when developing these actions.
The ICAM Team must address the identifed organizational factors and absent / failed defences with
recommendations for corrective actions.
Corrective actions must be SMART: Specifc, Measureable, Achievable and accountable, Relevant and
with Timely implementation. The date for corrective actions must align with the hazard prevention and
controls required for the level of risk the cause presents.
The ICAM Team’s conclusions must only be made based on established facts. Where a defnite cause
cannot be determined form the facts and the ICAM Team is only able to venture an opinion on contributing
factors and root causes, then this distinction must be clearly stated in the ICAM Report.
5.6 Corrective Actions

Management must maintain a register of all corrective actions tabled following incident investigations. These
corrective actions shall be tracked and reported until completion and close out of the incident report by the
Site manager. Incident reports are to remain “open” until all corrective actions have been implemented.
6. Training
A training package outlining the investigation process using the ICAM methodology is available; it also
provides advice in completing incident investigation reports.
INCIDENT
7. Record Management
Records must be protected for the length of time they are required to be kept as per laws of the country
and their integrity and authenticity protected. Materials, tools, systems required for document access,
must also be kept for the same period, and verifed on a regular basis.
For retention, the Records Retention Schedule Work Instruction must be followed unless otherwise
prescribed by the Prime Agreement.
8. Variance
To request a variance from this Procedure, please follow the process laid out in section 1.5 of the GHSEMS.
9. Guidance
For questions or further information with respect to this document, please contact Global Health, Safety
