This Orientation includes a review of the APX Health and Safety Policy. You will always abide by this health and safety policy while employed by APX Services.

Initial *

5. OH&S Legislation:

OH&S Handbooks are available at every Safety Board. They are available upon request and APX Safety or HR personnel will be happy to assist you in finding out any rules or regulations you would like to look up.

7. Worksite Inspections:

Every division of APX Services will be inspected at various time intervals to ensure health and safety requirements are met. Results of these inspections will be posted on the public safety boards for each location. These inspections are not private, and you may be asked to participate in these inspections. Your input is valuable to APX Services in achieving the safest workplace environment possible.

Initial *

8. Hazard Assessments:

Before you begin any task you are required to perform a field level hazard assessment. These assessments should consider the applicable hazards to you, your assigned equipment, and the workers around you. Proper controls should be identified to mitigate these hazards to ensure the probability of identified hazards causing damage or injury is as low as possible. If the risk a hazard poses is too severe, or cannot be controlled, work should be stopped until a solution is found.

Initial *

9. Near Miss Incidents:

A near miss incident is when an accident or injury almost happens. For example, a truck almost backing into a kneeling worker they could not see or slipping on an icy surface but catching yourself before you fall. APX Services has a non-punitive clause for near misses. So long as you report the near miss incident immediately to your supervisor you will not be held responsible or be disciplined for the near miss even if you are at fault.

The goal for reporting near misses is to take a potential injury / accident scenario and turn it into a learning opportunity for everyone from which brings awareness to that hazard and can lessen the severity or even prevent future incidents.

If you have a near miss incident and choose not to report it to your supervisor immediately, APX Services may invoke disciplinary actions.

Initial *

10. Injury / Damage Incidents:

Injury / Damage Incidents are any incident that results in injury to a worker or bystander, damage to equipment, property or the environment (leak, spill or unintended release), or any combination thereof.

Advise your supervisor if there is any active danger present at the incident location or if someone requires transportation to a clinic or hospital. Follow the steps for putting the emergency response plan into action, and when the incident is over fill out the Incident Report form completely and submit it to your supervisor for review. Do not leave work until you have filled out the incident report form.

Initial *

11. Worker Training:
