SUPERVISOR'S ORIENTATION CHECKLIST

SUPERVISOR'S NAME: _________________________________ DATE:

ORIENTATION CONDUCTED BY:

Upon completion of this checklist, the supervisor and safety department representative shall
sign their names in the designated space indicating that the following information was
reviewed during a supervisor orientation session.

A. SAFETY & HEALTH STANDARDS


The safety and health Standards of the Owner are integrated within the Project
ESHEP. It is the supervisor's responsibility to ensure that these standards, as they
apply to the work under his/her direction, conform to the Project standards. It is
important that supervisors have a general knowledge of these standards in order to
plan their work activities.

B. BECHTEL SAFETY POLICY


The safety policy of Owner and Bechtel revolves around the premise that all accidents,
unusual events, and injuries are preventable. Each supervisor should apply this
principle during the course of his/her work.

C. GENERAL SAFETY AND HEALTH RESPONSIBILITIES


The first-line supervisor has a key role in the administration and execution of the
systems of the safety and health process. It is the responsibility of each supervisor to
plan safety into his/her work activities each day to ensure that all steps are taken to
provide employees with the knowledge and work environment to perform activities
without incident or injury.

D. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
The first-line supervisor is responsible for correcting unsafe acts and conditions. This
includes taking disciplinary actions with employees as necessary.

E. ZERO ACCIDENTS
The "Zero Accidents Philosophy" means that all accidents/injuries are preventable and
that Bechtel is committed to achieving and sustaining “Zero Accidents Performance”
through continuous improvement practices.

F. SAFETY IN THE WORK PLACE


Each supervisor is expected to be familiar with the working conditions within his/her
area of responsibility. Supervisors are charged with communicating deficiencies and
issues of non-conformance to their immediate supervisor. In situations where an
accident or injury is imminent because of an action or condition, the supervisor has the
authority to cease work activities regardless of where the incidence occurs.

I:\Construction\Enviro_Safety_Health\MANUAL\Source\CP_102.doc Page 2
G. SAFE WORK PRACTICES
When making work assignments, the supervisor must include instructions regarding
safe practices, work methods, and use of personal protective equipment. The
supervisor is responsible for ensuring employees have the proper personal protective
equipment and suitable tools are utilized by employees under their supervision.

H. JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS


Supervisors are responsible for participating in the JHA system.

I. SUPERVISOR SAFETY MEETINGS


Supervisor safety meetings are conducted weekly. Attendance of these meeting is
mandatory and attendance records shall be kept on file. During these meetings, the
safety information relative to employee safety meetings must be reviewed. These
meetings are conducted by the Site Manager, project superintendent or designee and
the project ES&H supervisor.

J EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Each supervisor must be familiar with the emergency procedures developed by the
Project so that they may provide the leadership required to cope with serious injuries,
fires, evacuations, and other such circumstances or emergencies.

K. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS
Supervisors are required to participate actively in the investigation of any accident that
results in:

1. Personal injury to an employee under their supervision.


2. Equipment or property damage in their area of responsibility.
3. Near miss incidents.

Major incidents will be investigated jointly with the supervisor, project management and
other representatives, as required.

L. FIRST-AID AND MEDICAL SERVICES


Supervisors shall ensure that all employees are aware of their obligations to
immediately report all injuries, however minor, to their supervisor and first-aid
representative.

M. FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION


Supervisors are expected to maintain a constant awareness of the fire potential in their
area of responsibility. If a potential fire hazard is noted, the supervisor shall initiate
corrective action and report the incident to their supervisor.

N. EMPLOYEE SAFETY MEETINGS


Supervisors must conduct daily safety meetings with the employees under their
supervision. These meetings must include information regarding work plans, potentially
hazardous operations, accident prevention methods, accident statistics, and other such
accident prevention techniques. These meetings should promote a positive attitude
and provide an opportunity for open discussion with employees.

O. SAFETY MEETING QUALITY SURVEY

I:\Construction\Enviro_Safety_Health\MANUAL\Source\CP_102.doc Page 3
Various members of Bechtel management team will attend the daily employee safety
meetings as observers. The objective of the observation is to ensure that matters
concerning safety and health are communicated effectively to employees.

P. OWNER FACILITIES
Supervisors must be familiar with the Owner’s Safety, Health and Environmental
Standards and the Project Safety and Health Plan that apply to the scope of work being
performed.
