Industry Terminology

Page 28: Triple J Pipelines Orientation 2015

A hazard is a situation, condition or behaviour that has the potential to cause an injury or a loss.

Imminent danger is any danger that is not normal for that occupation or any danger under which a person engaged in that occupation would not normally carry out.

A near miss is an undesired event that, under slightly different circumstances, could have resulted in personal harm, property damage or loss.

An Incident is any undesired event. An accident is one type of incident. Near Misses are another.

Accidents are undesired events that result in physical harm to a person or damage to property.

Risk is a function of the severity of harm and the likelihood of the occurrence of that harm.

A Task is a work activity that is discrete, observable and performed in a limited number of time.

An Inspection is a planned systematic evaluation or examination of an activity or worksite in order to check or to test against established standards.

A Lost Time Injury is an injury that results in an employee being away from work for more than the day of the injury.

Modified Work is work altered to suit any worker injured on the job.

Hazard Assessment and ControlIn order to meet the Provincial Occupational Health and Safety regulatory requirements,

management and staff are required to assess the work site and identify existing or potential hazards.

HIERARCY OF CONTROLS

• ELIMINATION/ SUBSTITUTION- Eliminate the hazard all together if possible. Example remove the task from being completed at heights. Substitution is to replace a toxic chemical with a non- toxic chemical.

• ENGINEERING- To engineer a guard or a barrier between the worker and the hazard. To build a rail or a guard on an elevated surface.

• ADMINISTRATIVE- Protect the worker and reduce exposure to the hazards by human behavior. These controls are only effective if the worker chooses to follow the practice. Monitors, Seatbelts, Safety Meetings, JSA, Pre-Task Cards, Report Cards, Signs etc.

• PPE- Last line of defense and last resort. These controls are only used in conjunction with Engineering and or Administrative. PPE examples are Eye, Ear, Face, Skin, Feet, Hands, and Respiratory Protection. PPE must be maintained and inspected. It may never be altered.
