1 CONFINED SPACE ADMINISTRATION

Confined Space Location: Arbutus Station 2097 W. Broadway

Confined Space Description: Confined Space at BS-01 Tail track/Minning area.

1.1 CONFINED SPACE ADMINISTRATOR

Confined Space Administrator: Andrea Harvey / Meinsen German Nahuel
Qualified Person: Risk assessment process and the drafting of confined space entry
procedures will be the responsibility of the Construction Safety Officer (CSO) or the
designated Supervisor for the activity. This work should be coordinated in close
collaboration with the safety team and the civil construction team.

It is essential that all persons involved in the activity are fully briefed on the specific risks
associated with confined space entry, as well as the safety protocols and procedures to be
followed in the event of an emergency. This includes a clear understanding of potential
hazards, such as lack of oxygen, presence of toxic gases, risks of entrapment or structural
collapse.

Adequate training on the use of personal protective equipment and atmosphere

monitoring tools should be provided to ensure a safe working environment prior to the start
of the activity.
Open and transparent communication between all parties involved is critical to ensure the
safety and well-being of workers in confined space environments. Any changes in site
conditions or operating procedures should be communicated in an effective and timely
manner to all team members.

A permit as detailed in BC OHS 9.13 is not required for this space because:
a. It does not have a high hazard atmosphere.
b. Isolation and lockout procedures are not required.
c. There is no hazard or entrapment or engulfment.

Although a permit is not required, a pre-entry assessment of air quality and slope
inspection must be maintained. Space occupancy must be monitored by the designated

6. Do not enter the confined space if unsure of any aspect of the work and/or
safeguards.
7. Follow emergency response protocols.

1.3 STANDBY ATTENDANTS

Each worker required to work inside the confined space will be assigned a partner. The
partner will be located on top of the confined space and maintain a visual on the worker
and be in constant verbal communication. Their partner will be responsible for
communicating with the worker, assessing their wellbeing, and initiating emergency rescue
if necessary.

1.4 CONTRACTOR USE OF PROGRAM

Contractors working in the area under the rebar will work under the BSCGP Confined Space
Entry Program and these procedures.

2 CONFINED SPACE COMMUNICATION

Workers will have direct verbal communication with their partner.

3 HAZARD CLASSIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT

Based on the Confined Space Hazard Assessment the space is classified as Low Hazard.

3.1.1.1 Low Hazard

A Low hazard atmosphere means an atmosphere which is shown by pre-entry testing or

otherwise known to contain clean respirable air immediately prior to entry to a confined
space and which is not likely to change during the work activity, as determined by a
qualified person after consideration of the design, construction and use of the confined
space, the work activities to be performed, and all engineering controls required by the
regulations.

a. Workers have received instruction on the risks and safeguards associated with the
entry and the work activities to be performed.
b. Workers have donned the personal protective equipment appropriate to the hazards
of the confined space.
c. Pre entry air monitoring has been carried out and continuous air monitoring is set up
for when workers are in the confined space, this also applies for when workers leave
and re-enter the space. This will be done by a trained and competent person.
2. All workers entering a confined space must be in continuous communication with their
partner outside the confined space. The partner will maintain visual and verbal contact
with the worker.
3. Anchor Point: good Anchor Point will be established. Worker will be tied off while
performing task.

4.1.1 Pre Entry Procedures

1. The Entry Supervisor will ensure that all safety equipment is present and in good working
condition prior to starting the work area.

- Conduct a risk assessment before starting work in the confined space.

- Designate a supervisor responsible for the work and rescue equipment.
- Verify that all personal protective equipment (PPE) is available and in good condition.
- Check the availability and proper functioning of rescue equipment, including the
crane, stretcher and rescue basket.
- Establish a clear communication system within the confined space, such as radios or
visual signals.

2. The Entry Supervisor will ensure that all personnel involved in the entry are familiar with
the procedures to be used (including the specialized rescue procedures), have a clear
understanding of the role and duties of the partner, and have had an opportunity to ask
any questions, or satisfy any concerns, prior to the entry.
3. Workers must complete a field level risk assessment (FLRA) prior to starting any activity.

placed inside the DEP BOX, which will already contain a stretcher. The DEP BOX will
then be rigged and lowered into the work area inside the excavation by designated
emergency personnel.

If the DEP box cannot be lowered close enough to the work area, the spine board will
be removed from the DEP box and placed near the injured worker. After securing the
worker onto the spine board and stretcher, a team of 3-4 individuals will lift the
stretcher back to the DEP box. Then, the DEP box will be rigged out of the excavation
for ambulance access.

6 EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RESCUE

A specialized emergency plan has been developed for the work.

 In case of emergency, alert the supervisor or rescue team using the established
communication system.
 Assess the situation and determine the most appropriate rescue method, whether
using the Davit Arm, Tower Crane and DEP Box stretcher or a Tower Crane/rescue
basket lift.
 Coordinate the rescue according to the previously established plan, ensuring the
safety of both the rescuer and the trapped worker.
 Perform the rescue with care and following established safety procedures.

6.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES

All employees with emergency responsibilities related to the confined space, must be
informed of and understand their responsibilities.

6.1.1 Partner
