Management at Warrior Drilling Corp. believes that the proactive and systematic identification and control of hazardous conditions, in combination with education and good engineering, can prevent accidents, property damage and lost time from occurring. Management recognizes that no one program is successful by itself, but rather a combination of programs, along with the full participation by our employees, will create the safest, most efficient environment possible. To assist in the management of risks, Warrior Drilling employs the following hazard recognition programs:
- Regular Safety Meetings: Safety meetings are an important aspect of Warrior Drilling’s Environment, Safety and Health Program. Regular meetings help maintain safety awareness and ensure that all safety and health concerns are brought into the open, discussed, and resolved.
- Equipment Pre-Checks: At the beginning of each shift, drill operators and equipment operators are required to perform and record pre-operational checks of critical items on drills and mobile equipment, modeled on the 5 point safety system, to detect any defective or worn components which could lead to injury or equipment damage. Corrective action will be taken and recorded, and a copy of the daily checks shall be sent to Operations and reviewed for trends and program adjustments.
- Preventative Maintenance: As part of our preventive maintenance program, critical components on drill and mobile equipment are inspected prior to leaving maintenance shops and during routine field maintenance visits conducted by maintenance staff.
- Workplace Inspections: Inspections are conducted regularly to uncover potential hazards. Checklists have been developed for shops, as well as underground and surface diamond drill sites. Inspections are completed regularly, providing a systematic approach to uncovering and correcting hazards.
- JHSC Inspections: Where required, Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) members have a duty to designate a worker representative to be responsible for conducting workplace inspections. Joint inspections are conducted and discussed monthly.
- Safe Working Environment: The Company is committed to protecting employees from injury while on the job. Policies and program procedures provide a framework for dealing with illegal drug and alcohol use in the workplace. Employees with drug or alcohol abuse problems will be urged to seek assistance prior to the materialization of problems that affect job safety and performance, and will have access to a substance abuse professionals where required.
- Operating Procedures: General operating procedures have been developed for underground and surface operations, highlighting inherent risks and controls. Employees are trained in safe operating procedures.
- Job Safety & Environmental Plan (JSEP): Job Safety and Environmental Plans address safety and environmental related needs and expectations of all stakeholders in each project before the project starts. By addressing safety and environmental related needs early, a thorough and coordinated approach towards on-the-job safety and pollution control can be incorporated into the drill program.
