6 1.0 Purpose This document specifies the safety controls associated with Cargo (e.g., equipment/parts/materials/goods) being delivered, unloaded or loaded and transported to or from Enbridge locations. 2.0 Scope This document applies to both Enbridge employees, Contractors and their Subcontractors whose work involves loading, unloading and transporting cargo at Enbridge Locations 3.0 Roles & Responsibilities Role Responsibility General/Prime Contractor Submit Contractor Cargo Management Plan (CCMP) as described in this Standard including sub-contractor management Designate Contractor Representative(s) that are responsible to administer their Cargo Management Plan Provide applicable training for Loading and Unloading activities Perform regular systematic Cargo Management Focused Assessment inspections to ensure compliance with the Cargo Management Plan by their supervisors and workers Enbridge Safety Review and accept the Contractor Cargo Management Plan (CCMP) and accept/deny use of spotters for Exclusion Zones as appropriate for work activities. Perform regular systematic Cargo Management Focused Assessment inspections to ensure compliance with the Cargo Management Plan Enbridge Representative Issue Safe Work Permit Complete the Cargo Management Hazard Assessment (CMHA) form for all Type 3 Delivery/Shipments for work being performed by Enbridge Personnel. Perform regular systematic Cargo Management Focused Assessments inspections to verify Loading and Unloading activities are being performed by either Enbridge or Contractor personnel are in accordance with the Cargo 2

7 Management Standard. Instruct drivers upon delivery that unloading operation may not commence, including removal of gates, or releasing tension in load securing devices until instructed to do so Contractor Representative Complete the Cargo Management Hazard Assessment (CMHA) form for all Type 3 Delivery / Shipment being performed by Contractor or subcontractor Personnel. Instruct drivers upon delivery that unloading operation may not commence including removal of gates, or releasing tension in load securing devices until instructed to do so Driver Wait until a Cargo Management Hazard Assessment (CMHA) has been completed before removal of gates, or releasing tension in load securing devices until instructed to do so Secure load after loading operations have been completed 4.0 Guideline-Specific Requirements 4.1 Unloading Requirements CHECK-IN FOR ALL DELIVERIES Check-in - Delivery drivers are required to check-in at a designated Access Point or when there is no designated Access Point, the delivery driver is required to check-in with the designated Enbridge or Contractor representative before completing each delivery. Upon arrival at the designated Access Point, the Security personnel will contact the designated Enbridge Representative, or designated Contractor Representative for delivery instruction if contact has not already been made. If the delivery is required to enter the Enbridge Location, the designated representative will then meet the driver and: Confirm the delivery (what delivery to what location) Require the driver to sign-in Verify personal protective equipment Provide the driver with site specific safety information, as appropriate. This may include: A site map outlining prescribed driving routes and pre-designated parking / unloading locations; A listing of key site safety rules (e.g. back-in parking, traffic routes, etc.); and/or Other information that may be relevant to the delivery TYPE 1- DELIVERIES / SHIPMENTS Follow Check-in requirements for Type 1 Deliveries 3

8 4.1.5 TYPE 2 DELIVERIES / SHIPMENTS Follow Check-in requirements for Type 2 Deliveries Enbridge Representative: Issue a Safe Work Permit (when applicable) TYPE 3 DELIVERIES / SHIPMENTS Follow Check-in requirements for Type 3 Deliveries Enbridge Representative: Issue a Safe Work Permit Enbridge Representative or Contractor Representative must: Complete the Cargo Management Hazard Assessment (CMHA) specific to the loading / unloading operation prior to allowing work to proceed. Note: Delivery for contracted work will require the CMHA to be filled out by the Contractor Representative CARGO MANAGEMENT HAZARD ASSESSMENT (CMHA) LOADING AND UNLOADING CMHA (see appendix 9.1) is required for all Type 3 deliveries / shipments and will not take the place of a Safe Work Permit. If Safe Work Procedures or Job Hazard Assessment has been produced for the loading/unloading operations, only the Pre-load / Off-load review section, and sign off of the assessment needs to be completed. In the absence of Safe Work Procedures or Job Hazard Assessment the entire CMHA must be completed The CMHA shall: Be completed before the start of a Loading / Unloading Operation. An example of the CMHA is attached (See Appendix 9.1), but as regulations or potential risks may change from site to site, this should be taken as an example only and each Enbridge Representative or Contractor Representative shall finalize as appropriate Be completed by a designated Enbridge Representative or designated Contractor Representative and associated workers including truck driver Identify hazards and corrective actions required to be taken Be signed by all workers involved in the loading/unloading operation to ensure that everyone participating is aware of the identified hazards and associated safety controls The CMHA process shall at minimum identify and control the following: Potential stored energy that could shift, roll, tip-over, fall, shift, damage, or move once unsecured All potentially unstable loads or any load that may require stabilization (e.g. secured via rigging to a forklift, crane or pocket stakes) prior to unloading or during loading Address the potential hazards for multiple objects loaded side by side or stacked and the sequence of loading/unloading Appropriate equipment to be used to safely unload materials as determined by the nature/type of the materials to be unloaded The designated Enbridge Representative or designated Contractor Representative shall instruct drivers not to commence loading/unloading operation including removal of gates, or releasing tension in load securing devices until the CMHA is completed and reviewed by the Enbridge Representative or designated Contractor Representative 4

9 All persons involved in Type 3 loading / unloading work shall sign the CMHA to ensure understanding of the identified hazards and the selected safety controls After the CMHA has been completed and identified risks are controlled only then can driver apply or remove load securement devices Delivery for contracted work will require the CMHA to be filled out by the Contractor Representative. The CMHA will only be completed by an Enbridge Representative when the delivery is specifically for Enbridge DUPLICATE DELIVERIES / SHIPMENTS - TYPE 3 DELIVERY For similar load configurations, hazards, and controls for Loading/Offloading Operations, the original CMHA can be used by reviewing all identified hazards and controls with individuals involved in the loading/unloading operations and must be time stamped and initialed by the designated representative. (e.g. stringing or gravel hauling operations) In addition the following must be readily available for review and / or audit by an Enbridge Representative: Safe work procedures or equivalent (JHA, or entire completed CMHA) Field Level Hazard Assessment Any other regulatory requirements (i.e. appropriate drivers licence) 4.2 Additional Loading Requirements LOADING VEHICLES The following requirements apply when performing the task of loading of any vehicle: Trucks are to be loaded on a stable level surface Equipment operators are to ensure that their equipment is inspected and of suitable capacity and size (e.g., fork length) for the load dimensions Persons performing rigging are to ensure that all rigging is inspected, all connections securely fastened and the load is rigged as per its center of gravity to ensure a level lifting operation Additional requirements may be COMPLETION OF LOADING 4.3 Exclusion Zones Once the cargo is loaded it is the responsibility of the driver to secure the load and ensure all loads entering public highways comply with all regulatory requirements LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS Pedestrian exclusion zones are to be set and demarcated through the use of hard/soft barricading or, if accepted by Enbridge Safety and Management, the use of spotters during operations Anyone not directly involved in the operation is not to enter these exclusion zones unless the equipment operator has signaled that it is safe to enter and the equipment operation has ceased all movement. 5

10 4.3.4 The truck driver is to remain outside the exclusion zone in a designated location (safety zone) during the operation unless otherwise instructed by the operator Operators will immediately stop work if the location of the driver cannot be confirmed or any pedestrian or vehicle enters the exclusion zone without permission. 4.4 Specific General/Prime Contractor Requirements: CONTRACTOR CARGO MANAGEMENT PLAN Note: The CCMP will contain project logistics, roles and responsibilities and follow the contents of this guideline at a minimum For all Loading, Unloading, and Transporting of Cargo operations General/Prime Contractors are required to submit a Contractor Cargo Management Plan (CCMP), which must be submitted and accepted by Enbridge Safety prior to the commencing of any affiliated activities The Contractor must verify personal protective equipment and provide the driver with site specific safety information, as appropriate. This may include: A site map outlining prescribed driving routes and pre- designated parking / unloading locations A listing of key site safety rules (i.e. back-in parking, traffic routes, etc.) Other information that may be relevant to the Delivery Additional Type 2 Requirements Project vehicles or equipment meeting the Type 2 definition (e.g. fuel trucks, service trucks, etc.) are required to check-in at a pre-determined location identified by the contractor prior to delivery or support services Additional Type 3 Requirements/Exceptions Pipe stringing drivers and coordinators shall maintain a single point of contact for activities off the right-of-way (e.g. Pipe Yard, Rail Yard, etc.) and a single point of contact for right-ofway activities such as unloading stringing trucks. This in effect, shall be coordinated so that any necessary documentation/permits performed by the final representative shall be unrestrained For multiple pipe stringing trucks delivering on the same day and same location/spread, as long as the load is consistent, only one CMHA will need to be completed and issued by the designated Contractor Representative with the following conditions: All drivers involved in the unloading procedure must sign the CMHA to ensure that everyone participating understands the identified hazards and the selected safety controls The Transport Contractor/Subcontractor must present a completed pre-use inspection checklist for review by Enbridge personnel upon arrival at an Enbridge Facility, site, project or location prior to any unstrapping or unloading of material Contractor can use their own CMHA if accepted by Enbridge Safety and Management Training requirements Contractor must include load securement and/or cargo management training for drivers and designated Contractor Representatives 6
