Contractor Safety Orientation

This presentation is to be used as an overview of the safety rules and policies at the Arkansas Kraft Division facility. It does not cover all the safety requirements detailed in our Safety Policy Manual. All contractors and contractor employees must be trained on and understand all the requirements of our Safety Policy Manual before beginning work at Arkansas Kraft Division.

Lockout

It is the responsibility of each person inspecting or working on equipment to follow the Lockout procedure as outlined in the Arkansas Kraft Division Lockout Policy. Personnel who violate these rules are subject to disciplinary action. Lockout is required when: Any employee (or contractor) is required to remove or bypass a guard or other safety device. Any employee (or contractor) is required to place any part of his body into the mechanism of a piece of equipment or path of hazardous energy/materials while installing, constructing, erecting, adjusting, inspecting, cleaning, operating or maintaining the process.

Lockout
Lockout Procedures: Equipment will only be de-energized and locked out by personnel authorized by Arkansas Kraft Division who have been trained in the Lockout procedure and who are familiar with the specific procedures for the equipment. Contractor employees may lockout on the energy source or on the group lockout device only after the Authorized Arkansas Kraft Division employee has secured the equipment, verified a successful lockout and placed a personal or department lock on the device. Personal locks must have only 1 key. Contractor employee personal locks must have the name of the employee, the name of the contractor and a Danger tag on the lock or on a tag attached with the lock. The name of the owner must be legible at all times. Silver Master locks are not to be used for Lockout.

Lockout

Lockout Procedures: When the Group Lock Out Procedure is utilized, personnel working on the locked out equipment are required to: Review the lock out isolation list to ensure it is for the piece of equipment they will be working on. Review the lock out isolation list to ensure that it is complete. Place their personal lock on the lock ring or lockbox prior to performing assigned work and remove their personal lock after completing assigned work. Note: never place a personal lock on the lock ring or lockbox until the lockout isolation list is complete and posted and the department lock is applied

Lockout

Lockout Procedures: Each individual working on a piece of equipment that is locked out must place his/her personal lock on the appropriate lockout device. Individuals must maintain possession of the key to their personal lock. No one other than the individual that placed the lock on the lockout device may remove the lock. Removal of a personal lock by anyone other than the person that placed the lock may result in disciplinary action. Contractors may use a satellite lock box to protect their employees. The contractor supervisor or designee will place a Contractor lock and tag on the Arkansas Kraft Division lockout device. The contractor will then place the key to this lock in his lockbox. Contractor employees will then place their personal locks on the Contractor lockbox.

Lockout

This orientation provides a brief overview of the AKD lockout requirements. All Contractors and contractor employees must be trained on the requirements of the AKD Lockout Policy and provide to AKD proof of training and understanding of the requirements of the Lockout Policy before performing work at Arkansas Kraft Division.

Confined Space

The Arkansas Kraft Division Confined Space Policy is designed to control and protect personnel from Confined Space hazards and to establish guidelines for entry into Confined Spaces. This policy prohibits unauthorized entry, identifies and evaluates potential hazards, and establishes procedures and practices for safe entry. This includes atmospheric monitoring, requires an attendant for all permit spaces during entry operations, establishes procedures to summon rescuers and a system for preparing, issuing, using and canceling entry permits.

Confined Space

A Confined Space is defined as an area which (1) has adequate size and configuration for employee entry, (2) has limited means of access or egress, and (3) is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. A Permit-Required Confined Space is a Confined Space as defined above, and presents or has the potential for hazards related to atmospheric conditions (toxic, flammable, asphyxiating), engulfment, configuration or any other recognized serious hazard.

Confined Space

Signs shall be posted near Confined Spaces to notify individuals what hazards might be present and that only Authorized Entrants may enter the Confined Spaces. Signs shall read, DANGER, Permit Required Confined Space DO NOT ENTER.

Confined Space

An individual is considered to have entered the Confined Space when any part of the individual's body breaks the plane of the Confined Space's opening. Only individuals who are trained and knowledgeable in the hazards they may face, are able to recognize signs or symptoms of exposure and understand the consequences of exposure to hazards may enter confined spaces. Entrants must know how to use any needed equipment, communicate with Attendants as necessary, alert Attendants when a warning symptom or other hazardous condition arises and exit as quickly as possible when ordered to or alerted.

Confined Space

Attendants are individuals who are trained in and familiar with the hazards of Confined Spaces, aware of behavioral effects of potential exposures, know to maintain a continuous count of entrants, remain outside the space until relieved, communicate with entrants as necessary to monitor their status and when to order exit. They must be properly equipped and know how to summon assistance, prevent unauthorized entry and perform non-entry rescues. They must not perform other duties that interfere with their primary duty to monitor and protect the safety of Authorized Entrants. Attendants must wear a green vest while serving as an attendant.

Confined Space

An authorized AKD employee shall properly shutdown and isolate the confined space. An authorized AKD employee will complete all tasks required by the permit for entry using the procedures detailed in the Arkansas Kraft Division Confined Space Policy. The completed permit will be posted at the entry point after all lockout and atmospheric testing has been completed. Contractor employees will lockout on the appropriate lockout device before entering a confined space. The atmosphere inside the space will be monitored continuously when personnel are in the space.

Confined Space

No individual shall enter any confined space until it has been properly prepared and permitted for entry using the procedures detailed in the Arkansas Kraft Division Confined Space Policy. No individual shall enter any confined space without an attendant posted at the entry point. Entrants must ensure their name and time of entry is on the entry list when they enter and exit time is on the list when they exit the space. Entrants must place their personal lock on the lockout device before they enter the space and remove their personal lock when they finish working in the space.

Confined Space

Entrants must wear a harness and retrieval line when entering a confined space unless they create a hazard to the entrant. Contractors shall supply their employees equipment as required by the job (gas monitors, safety lines/harnesses, other PPE). Authorized Entrants shall exit the Confined Space, unless it is physically impossible to do so without assistance, when: the Attendant orders evacuation; an atmospheric monitor alarm is activated; the Authorized Entrants perceive that they are in danger.

Confined Space
