Work Within The Permit System
• The majority of work activities at Suncor are covered by the safe work permit system
(ref: Safe Work Permit Standard LMS0038A).
• When you work without a permit when one is required, people coordinating work or
working around you are unaware of your activities.
• If you are conducting work in an area where hazardous processes or work activities
are occurring, you may be placing yourself and others at a greater risk.
• Working in the permit system includes completing a field level risk assessment at
the commencement of the job and whenever conditions change (ref:
Field Level Risk Assessment LMS0082A).
• Much of the work done at Suncor is in areas or on systems that are highly hazardous if not
properly controlled. Because of this, we cannot tolerate the use of alcohol and drugs on
our site.
• If you are using prescription drugs, ensure you advise your supervisor before work
commences.
• If you suspect that a co-worker may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, have the
courage to care and report it to your supervisor.
• High voltage power lines are found in many places across our site
• You cannot working within 20 meters of a high voltage overhead power line without
pre-arranged authorization from the Transmission & Distribution group
• This includes placing trailers or equipment within this zone
• Not sure if the overhead power line is a high voltage? Stop the work and contact
Transmission & Distribution Operations to clarify
• Locks, blanks, seatbelts, critical alarms, equipment safeguards, etc. are in place for
your protection
• Never tamper with, cut or remove safety critical equipment unless you have
appropriate authorization to perform a specific task and adequate controls are in place
• Ask yourself: if I adjust this equipment is my safety or the safety of others
compromised?
• The rules of the road are in place to protect us from serious harm
• It is the expectation of every employee on our Suncor site to wear a seatbelt, obey
posted traffic signs and speed limits, and NEVER use a cell phone while driving
• Aggressive driving behavior (e.g., “road rage”) will not be tolerated
• For many employees, driving will be the highest-risk activity they undertake in a
day. It is important that all the risks within our control are properly managed
