INSPECTION NOTES
This inspection was conducted on April 6, 2016. The following comments are noted with regard to: scope of inspection,
deficiencies and discussions at the workplace.
SCOPE OF INSPECTION
On April 6, 2016 2:45 pm, the owner of this farm, Occupational Safety Officer Anna Billingsley, Senior Regional Officer Carol-Anne
Boufford, and Occupational Hygiene Officer Jennifer Shum attended this site for an inspection. The employer is starting up a
composting facility and is currently in its trial runs. This inspection focused on the phase 1 building and the surrounding work
areas associated with the brown water process (eg. brown water storage, above ground storage tanks and sumps).
PHASE 1 BUILDING
-The phase 1 building has four bunkers. Across from the bunker doors, on the other side of the building, is a hopper for brown
water addition. The hopper is then connected via a conveyor system to move brown water- soaked compost back into the
bunkers. At the time of inspection the following represented the state and door positioning of each bunker:
Bunker 1: empty, doors open
Bunker 2: compost process initiated 12 days prior, doors closed (employer is actively trying to move product from this bunker to
bunker 4, but is experiencing technical difficulties)
Bunker 3: compost process initiated 3 days prior, doors closed (employer expressed that they are planning to turn this batch the
next day [April 7] by moving it into the hopper where brown water is to be added).
Bunker 4: compost process nearing completion (2 more days to go from the time of inspection), doors open.
REQUIREMENTS FOR TURNING
-The employer stated that the turning is typically conducted by a worker in a front end loader (enclosed cab).
-The employer has not conducted any risk assessment into the potential for over exposure to hydrogen sulphide (H2S) or other
contaminants in this area. The employer was not able to provide us with any ventilation specifications to determine efficiency for
the bunker ventilation. The employer stated that the worker(s) in the area are not equipped with any personal monitors. As such,
the employer has not ensured that worker exposures to H2S are adequately controlled. See order 1.
-Discussed that prior to turning begins, the requirement to ensure that a risk assessment is conducted and proper procedures
developed for the compost turning process. Discussed that workers are to be equipped with properly functioning four gas
monitors and must be educated and trained in using the monitors.
HIGH LEVELS OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE DETECTED DURING INSPECTION
-As we exited the phase 1 building, personal monitors worn by WorkSafeBC officers indicated levels of H2S. There were two
exposure events:
1) Officers were standing approximately 2 metres from the bunker doors, between bunker 2 and 3. Levels were detected that
exceeded the allowable limit of H2S.
2) Officers were standing near the entrance and walking outside. Levels were detected again that exceed the allowable limit of
H2S
-Further discussions revealed that a contractor had opened a manhole (accessing they air lock pits). The air locks have been

201616321043A
accumulating residual stagnant brown water. This potentially caused the high alarm events on WorkSafeBC officers monitors.
-As such, the employer has not ensured that exposures to H2S are adequately controlled. Discussed further investigation into the
air lock pits required prior to re-entering the Phase 1 building. See order 1.

Compensation Act.

Order/Item No.1
Status: Outstanding
Cited: OHS5.55(1)
The employer has not implemented adequate controls for the accumulation of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and to prevent worker
exposures to H2S. At the time of inspection, levels detected on personal monitors were observed over the allowable limit. The
employer currently does not have H2S monitors or safe work procedures for workers who are involved with work activities which
pose a risk of over exposures to H2S.
The following are examples of this violation:
- the employer plans to conduct compost turning without first ensuring that H2S is adequately controlled. No H2S monitors were
used, bunker ventilation specifications were unavailable, safe work procedures were unavailable.
-the employers equipment and systems has allowed the accumulation of H2S in stagnant brown water in air lock pits. The
employers contractors while trouble shooting had opened the air lock pits, releasing H2S in the Phase 1 building where workers
were working.
As such the employer has not controlled H2S below harmful levels and below the exposure limit of H2S.
This is in contravention of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation Section 5.55(1)
If there is a risk to a worker from exposure to a hazardous substance by any route of exposure, the employer must eliminate the
exposure, or otherwise control it below harmful levels and below the applicable exposure limit established under section 5.48 by
(a) substitution,
(b) engineering control, or
(c) administrative control,
(d) personal protective equipment.
ALL PERSONS ARE TO STOP WORK (with the exception of persons who are qualified to control this hazard and who are
protected from hazardous exposures) at the Phase 1 building and all areas associated with the brown water process (eg brown
water storage tanks) at this worksite, AND NO ENTRY FOR ANY REASON SHALL BE PERMITTED until this stop work order is
cancelled by this officer.
The employer must develop and implement safe work procedures (based on a risk assessment) associated with an Exposure
Control plan, before any work can resume in the Phase 1 building. The risk assessment and safe work procedures must be
developed by a qualified person and must encompass all potential H2S hazards and exposures within the Phase 1 building,
including but not limited to: the H2S accumulating in and released from the air lock tanks, as well as the H2S exposures from
turning compost.

INSPECTION NOTES
This inspection report relates to Confirmation Stop Work Order issued on inspection report 201616321043B on April 8, 2016.
****THIS STOP WORK ORDER CONFIRMATION IS STILL IN EFFECT*****
Written safe work procedures dated April 9, 2016 and in the form of a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Hazard Identification was
submitted to this Officer for review and acceptance on April 9, 2016. This JSA was prepared by the employer's hazardous
materials contractor. In addition, the employer submitted a risk assessment report dated April 7, 2016 that was prepared by the
employer's health & safety consultant.
The development and implementation of these procedures and risk assessment are permitting the employer to carry out work that
is necessary or required to remove the danger or the hazard and only if workers are protected from the danger or the hazard or is
qualified and properly instructed in how to remedy the unsafe condition with minimum risk to the worker's own health or safety as
required by Workers' Compensation Act 191 (2).
The employer understands that these procedures are only for carrying out the task of turning over mushroom compost material in
bunker two and moving mushroom compost material to the hopper to mix with fresh water and other additives (i.e. chicken manure
and gypsum) and moving the mushroom compost material to bunker four. No other work activities will be carried out as identified
by the Stop Work Order Confirmation.
During this procedure if the employer identifies significant levels of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) in air (which is not to be expected
based on the preliminary risk assessment) they are to notify WorkSafeBC immediately.
The employer has been requested to provide WorkSafeBC with the completed "as built" drawings of the Phase 1 and Phase 2
process buildings as well as all the engineering design schematics. This information is important for the employer to complete
their risk assessment and plan their next steps to address the brown water which has become anaerobic and which has collected
in the air-lock pits. This anaerobic brown water continues to present a high risk of H2S exposure to workers. In addition, this
information will be important for the employer's health & safety consultant to complete the exposure control plan for the air
contaminants (e.g. ammonia, H2S, CO2, etc.).
Any new procedures or revised procedures will need to be submitted to WorkSafeBC for review as it relates to the Stop Work
Order Confirmation.

INSPECTION NOTES
This inspection report relates to Confirmation Stop Work Order issued on inspection report 201616321043B on April 8, 2016.
****THIS STOP WORK ORDER CONFIRMATION IS STILL IN EFFECT*****
Written safe work procedures dated April 11, 2016 and in the form of a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Hazard Identification was
submitted to this Officer for review and acceptance on April 11, 2016. This JSA was prepared by the employer's health & safety
consultant. In addition, the employer's hazardous materials contractor submitted to WorkSafeBC their field work flow document on
the work activities carried out on April 10, 2016. This report identifies that no readings of H2S were detected during their work
activity.
The employer has revised their procedures based on air monitoring results that were taken on April 10, 2016 by their hazardous
materials contractor. In addition, the employer's health & safety consultant is now on site assisting with the revised procedures
and work tasks.
In addition, the employer has hired a Construction Safety Officer to assist them with site coordination and to provide first aid
services.
The development and implementation of these procedures and risk assessment are permitting the employer to carry out work that
is necessary or required to remove the danger or the hazard and only if workers are protected from the danger or the hazard or is
qualified and properly instructed in how to remedy the unsafe condition with minimum risk to the worker's own health or safety as
required by Workers' Compensation Act 191 (2).
The employer understands that these procedures are only for carrying out the task of turning over mushroom compost material in
bunker two and moving mushroom compost material to the hopper to mix with fresh water and other additives (i.e. chicken manure
and gypsum) and moving the mushroom compost material to bunker four.
***No other work activities will be carried out as identified by the Stop Work Order Confirmation. ****
During this procedure, if the employer identifies significant levels of Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) in air (which is not to be expected
based on the preliminary risk assessment) they are to notify WorkSafeBC immediately.
Any new procedures or revised procedures will need to be submitted to WorkSafeBC for review as it relates to the Stop Work
Order Confirmation.
