FHSE Rules, Reminders & Info
Overhead Lines - Encroachment
Restricted area around power lines is 7 metres in all directions from
each power line conductor.
No equipment/vehicles are to encroach within a Right of Way (distances
vary depending on voltage) without specific authorization. Ensure
proper permits are in place for ALL work.
Power Cables
Treat all power cables as energized (live). Most cables are barricaded
with either jersey barriers or snow fence. Do NOT enter into the
barricaded area. If you encounter a power cable that is NOT barricaded,
you MUST remain at least 3 metres away from the cable unless you
have an encroachment permit & proper authorizations in place.
FHSE Rules, Reminders & Info
Working at Heights
Personnel MUST wear fall arrest equipment when working at heights of
1.8 metres (6 feet) or even lower when fall exposure exists and no
safeguards are in place (eg. guardrail).
Fall Arrest Training must be OSSA certified.
Stop the Drop
Dropped objects have consequences. Even a light weight object
dropped from height may be fatal.
The key to preventing falling objects is planning.
Identify falling objects as a hazard when working at heights and
implement controls to prevent objects from falling and protect other
workers in the area.
FHSE Rules, Reminders & Info
Signs, Flagging & Barricades
Ensure signs, flagging, and/or barricades are in place before commencing
work and the flagged off area is sufficient for the task being completed.
All flagging must be tagged with contact information, date, and hazard(s).
Barricades are to be placed 2 metres back from an unguarded edge.
Red flagging/tagging means DO NOT ENTER. You need permission from
the person listed on the tag to enter the area.
Yellow flagging/tagging means CAUTION. Hazards and entry requirements
are listed on the tag. You may proceed into the area if it is safe to do so
and you meet any requirements listed.
FHSE Rules, Reminders & Info
WHMIS / SDS
All personnel who work with or in proximity to controlled products
require valid, site-specific WHMIS training.
Review the SDS for a controlled product prior to use, and ensure all
containers are properly labelled.
Use appropriate PPE as indicated on the SDS.
Housekeeping
Housekeeping is basic to safety.
Ensuring your work site is clean prior to starting, and after completing
your work, as well as throughout your task will ensure that you are
keeping your area free of hazards and safe for yourself and those
working near you.
FHSE Rules, Reminders & Info

quarterly and updated to reflect current project status indicating
potential hazards and the controls in place to mitigate those hazards.
Each Business Partner must have a Hazard Assessment in place. Ensure
this document is reviewed with you.
Work Permits
Work permits are required for all work completed on the project. The
work permit process ensures that crews have required authorizations in
place and are aware of any restrictions on the work being completed.
Ensure that you review the permit prior to starting work and follow the
permit requirements.

conditions change.
FHSE Rules, Reminders & Info
Hierarchy of Controls
Elimination – best method of hazard control. Remove the hazard.
Substitution – exchange aspects of the task to make it less hazardous.

rest periods.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) –
last line of defence, worn in case
other controls fail.
