3. Personal Hazard Identification Tool MY JHA • HMT believes that hazard recognition is a key component of safety while on the job site. But with any job things change throughout the day that are not always added to the daily JHA. With that HMT implemented a program call “My JHA”.

4. MY JHA • This personal JHA card is carried by each person and allows the individual to identify any additional hazard associated with their assigned task. • This personal JHA is used when the assigned task of the employee changes, conditions on the site changes due to weather delays or other reasons such as additional contractors working on or around the site or if an additional task that was not identified on the daily JHA. • The personal JHA is a means of allowing the employee to make a Last Minute Risk Assessment of the task that they have been assigned on the work site so that they can accomplish the task safely and efficiently.

5. Additional uses for the My JHA • The My JHA can be a canvas for focus items related to safety. We use the personal JHA to focus on hand safety, heat stress during the summer months, HMT Deal Breakers or any other safety related topic that we feel needs additional attention.

8. HMT Green Hatter Safety Program • HMT believes that in order for a strong safety culture to be a corner post for our success we have to make safety the first priority of every employee and every crew that works in the field. The HMT Green Hatter was a program that grew from the need of having someone on each site that was willing to spend time every day focused specifically on the safety at each site. We identified an employee on each crew that held safety a value and promoted safety through their actions each day. That person was identified as the Green Hatter for that crew.

9. HMT Green Hatter Program • The expectation of the Green Hatters is to identify hazards or at-risk behaviors, bringing them to the attention of the foreman and fellow employees so that the hazard or behavior can be eliminated. • Green Hattersshould be prepared to be part of the solution for at-risk issues they discover. For example, the observer can and should fix a barricade or perform housekeeping activities as necessary.

10. Who can be a Green Hatter? • This individual will be an employee selected by management and ideally will have at least one full year of experience; will have demonstrated sufficient knowledge in safety and have a desire to make a difference by observing and identifying at-risk behavior.

11. Duties of the Green Hatter • The duties of the Green Hattercan be fulfilled by spending up to the first hour at the start of the shift and up to an hour after lunch on each shift observing. • Other than these two extremely IMPORTANT times, the observer may perform other duties as assigned by the foreman.

12. Additional Green Hatter Duties • It shall be understood by all persons involved that the release from normal work duties is required when there is mobile equipment to be moved or re-positioned on the jobsite where the Green Hatter will act as spotter for that equipment.

13. Training for the Green Hatter • Safety training for hazard identification techniques and guidance to perform site safety inspections can be provided by: • The Superintendent/Foreman • Safety Department • Training may include • Spotter training • Atmospheric Monitoring training • Safety Inspection training • Fall protection training • Roof Support

14. HMT Short Service Mentoring Program • This program applies to any HMT employee who has less than six months of continuous service with HMT. The program is designed to ensure that these employees have an initial orientation to HMT’s safety requirements prior to performing work for HMT at a customer site and a continuing education in safety on-the-job. They will work under the direct and indirect observation of a designated HMT employee who will serve as a mentor/trainer for a period of up to six months.

15. HMT Mentoring Program For New Employees • The new employee will receive a mentoring booklet and yellow hard hat at the time of hire. The yellow hard hat is a visual identification tool used in the program. The mentoring booklet will include an outline of basic training and knowledge topics that will be reviewed and demonstrated with the new employee by an assigned mentor. • As the new employee demonstrates proficiency on these tasks the mentor will sign and date as such in the Mentor Program booklet. Task include but are not limited to the following major topics:

16. Training Received in the Mentoring Program • Safety and General PPE use • Use of hand and power tools • Tool and Equipment Decommission • Use of Fit-Up equipment • Powered Equipment • Tank Builders Scaffold • Fall Protection • Rigging

17. Mentor Selection for the Program Mentors will be selected from the following personnel: • All field supervision • Seasoned hourly employees who have been recommended by supervision and management. • Any employee with a minimum of one-year of service with HMT and who has demonstrated an acceptable safety example and has the ability to assist others in safety may apply.

18. Mentoring Program Requirements • No employee will be expected or allowed to perform these duties until they have completed the necessary training for the tasks. • The mentor/trainer and the foreman will complete a field labor evaluation at 30 day, 90 day and 180 day intervals to denote the employee’s progress or areas where improvements are needed.

19. Completion of the Mentoring Program • Once the evaluation has been completed and reviewed with the employee, then it will be forward to the local office for data recording • An employee who completes this new employee training period successfully will be issued a different colored hard hat once documentation has been completed to affirm his/her successful completion of the program.
