Driving and Cell Phones in the US and Canada

While the US and Canada are not defined as a high-risk environment for driving per the Life Saving Rules, the following rules are in effect: Do not use a cell phone to conduct Company business while

driving. Do not use a cell phone for any reason while driving Company

vehicles.

For professional drivers (i.e., employees whose primary function is driving), they are considered High Risk and should follow the consequence management plan for LSR violations in high-risk environments.

For other drivers, once the facts have been established after thorough investigation of a violation, discipline will be expected. The discipline applied will take into account risk exposure and expectations of the role and may be up to and including termination, per existing discipline processes.

These rules are in addition to any other site/business specific rules.

Life-Saving Rules Maintaining Frontline Intervention Momentum

• Fundamental assumption – everyone knows/understands the rules

• Everyone should ensure that we stick to the Rules and always intervene where there is unsafe working. This applies to your co-workers, peers and others.

• We do not want to instill a culture of fear that inhibits interventions, therefore…

• Frontline peer to peer intervention is to be encouraged at all times and is excluded from consequence management provided that:

• The result of intervention is an immediate behaviour correction. In this case there is no need to escalate other than to report using local intervention management practices e.g. STOP, ASA etc.

•However: • if the result of an intervention does not immediately result in a change in behaviour, then it is your obligation to bring this to the attention of your supervisor

• if the Life-Saving Rules violation jeopardises multiple lives it must be reported and escalated immediately

• All escalations to be thoroughly investigated – using sound judgment, common sense and to the spirit of the Life-Saving RulesIf in doubt, always consult your supervisor
