create an email for project managers, superintendents and safety personnel creating an alert. WSBC visited a site on Tuesday with heavy enphasis on mobile machinery (ticketed operators not expired) machine conditions, lockout procedures for energized equipment, propane storage (note Urban One and BC Fire Code does not permit storage of propane in the parkade) and silica.

Subject: Safety Alert: WSBC Site Visit Findings

Dear Project Managers, Superintendents, and Safety Personnel,

This safety alert addresses critical findings from a recent WSBC site visit that require immediate attention and corrective action across all project sites.

Key Findings and Required Actions:

1. Mobile Machinery Operation:

• Ensure all mobile machinery operators are appropriately ticketed and certified for the equipment they are operating.
• Conduct thorough pre-shift inspections of all mobile machinery to verify that equipment is in safe operating condition. Immediately remove any unsafe equipment from service until all defects are corrected.

2. Lockout Procedures for Energized Equipment:

• Reinforce and strictly enforce lockout procedures for all energized equipment during maintenance or repair. Ensure all energy sources are isolated and locked out before work begins.
• Workers must verify that all energy sources have been effectively locked out before commencing work.
• If it is not practicable to shut down machinery or equipment for maintenance, only qualified and authorized workers can perform the work following written safe work procedures.

3. Propane Storage Violations:

• Review and ensure full compliance with Urban One regulations and the BC Fire Code regarding propane storage. Correct any identified violations immediately.
• Ensure that propane storage tanks are located so that any leak will not enter an underground working.

4. Silica Exposure Control:

• Implement and enforce comprehensive silica exposure control measures, including exposure monitoring, dust suppression, and respiratory protection where required.

Immediate Actions Required:

• Review current safety protocols and procedures related to the above findings.
• Conduct site-specific training to address these issues with all relevant personnel.
• Implement corrective actions to rectify any deficiencies identified.
• Increase monitoring and enforcement of safety protocols to prevent recurrence.

Failure to address these issues promptly may result in further enforcement actions, project delays, and, most importantly, potential harm to workers.

Please ensure that these findings are communicated to all relevant personnel and that immediate action is taken to address these concerns.

Sincerely, [Your Name/Company Safety Department]
