Vehicle and Road Practice BP Canada Energy – Gas Performance Unit PROCEDURETITLE: QUAD LOAD-OFFLOAD PROCEDURE PROCEDURE#: LOCATION: CGPU DATEISSUED: NOV.11TH,2005 DATEREVISED: JANUARY21/06 PREPAREDBY: ATVSTANDARD COMMITTEEAPPROVED BY:gHSSErCOMMITTEE — Job StepsPotential Hazards/Loss Control Statement(s) Control Code 1 The following procedure has beendeveloped toprovide operators of both quad and 6x6 units a safe tool to load and offloadthe unitsfroma transport unit (out of the back of a truck box, from a trailer unit or from a quad deck.) First and foremost the operatorofthe referred quad / 6X6 unit must havesuccessfullypasseda recognized all-terrainvehicle course.

In-experiencedquad operators may not have knowledge of the proper use ofa quad, its limitations etc and may not knowthe specific site specific tools and procedurestoensure safe operation of a quad

All operators of quads MUST have certification of successfully passing a recognized all-terrain vehicle operators course.

The

Components of the training must be consistent with MS-860, Appendix 1, section 2. T/S MS-860 2 Ensure that the operator of the Quad has been trained in all site specific proceduresinvolving the proper use and operation of the unit in his specific area.

Same as aboveMust havereviewedand beentrainedinall the sitespecific procedures involving quad use. Documentation of this must be in place.

The

Components of the training must be consistent with MS-860, Appendix 1, section 2.

Vehicle and Road Practice

— Job StepsPotential Hazards/Loss Control Statement(s) Control Code 3 If the quad has to be loaded onto a transport unit and moved to a location prior toitsuse, the operator must be trained in the proper use of the transport unit, the minimumrequirementsof the transport unit and the procedure to load the quad onto the unit.

The unit may not be designed tosafely transport a quad due to its size, shape, layout etc, and could result in injurytothe operator and or equipment.

The transportation unit must be of an approved type and must be approved by the Foreman of the area, before its use. This approval must be documented. The transport vehicle must meet the requirements with MS-860, Appendix 1, section 9, 10, or 11.

T/S MS-860 4 Ensurethat anadequate approved ramp is available to perform the loading task.

Dueto the transportation unit design and the ramp design they may not be compatible and could lead to personal injury or equipment damage.

Ramps must be approved by the Area Foreman, who will ensure that all users are aware of its proper operation and that they (the ramp users) properly inspect them prior to use to ensure that they are in good repair. Document inspection on the transportation unit checklist – refer to MS-860, Appendix 1, section 9.90 Recommendation is the Fulton Trifold Ramp (SR77) - refer to MS- 860, Appendix 1, section 12.2.

T/E 5 Position the transport unit as best possible using the profile of the terrain to decrease the angle of the ramps.

More angle ofthe ramps, the greater the risk for an incident to occur during the loading operation.

Complete a site walk around prior to positioning the transport unit to load the quad (s). Ensure the ground is level and use the terrain to lessen the slope of the ramps.

T 6 Testthe brakesonthe quad before attempting toload to ensure adequate operation. An approved ATV helmet and work boots must be worn whenever the quad is in motion.

Unable to stop the quad when loading. Brakes must be in good operation condition. Ensure the Quad Pre/Post Trip Inspection Check List (CH-A-0002) is completed prior to operating the quad.

T/ E 7 Ensure the transportation unit is clear ofany debrisorother equipment, prior to loading.

May cause unit to be unstable. The load area must be free of any material, tools or supplies and the deck must be clean of any slippery surfaces. T

Vehicle and Road Practice — Job StepsPotential Hazards/Loss Control Statement(s) Control Code 8 Install the ramps to the transport unit ensuring that the ramps are safely secured to the transport unit.

Ramps may become de- tachedfromthe transportation unit, or not be designed for the use that is required.

Ensure the ramps are designed for the quad weight and size. Ensure the ramps are in good condition with all securing mechanisms in place and in good repair. Refer to the Quad Pre /Post Check list referred to MS-860, Appendix 1, section 4.

T 9 Drive the quads to the ramps, stoppingjust short oframps. Ensure that the quad is in the 4X4 mode and in the lowest gear. Stand on the quad’s foot pegsandleaningslightly forward withknees bent slightly; slowly proceed up the ramp.

Aloadingincident could occur where the operatorcould sustain personalinjuryorthe quad / ramps could be damaged.

Operatorsmust wear anapprovedhelmet- refer toMS-860, Appendix 1, section 6.

Low gear and in the 4X4 mode will ensure required power and traction is available. Standing on the pegs and leaning forward, the operator will have the best control of the quad. Proceeding slowly reduces the risk of not being able to stop in the desired position.

T/E/S 10Once the quad has cleared the ramps and is on the transportation unit’s deck, slowlymove the quadtoits desired location,stop, engage the park brake and shut off the engine.

The unit could in- advertantlymove off the transportation unit.

Park brake must be engaged and the unit left in gear and the engine

shut off. Consider a cushion type device for the front of the truck.

T 11Securethe quadwith a minimumoffournylon tie- down straps (ratchet type) to the transportation unit’s deck.

Unit could leave the transportation unit and cause damage.

Use proper nylon tie-down straps and secure the straps to the quad and the transportation unit’s tie-down points. The quad unit must be secured on all four corners. DO-NOT use the winch cable as a tie down.

T 12Complete a walk around of the transportation device to ensure that the unit is properly secured and that the transportation unit can be safely moved.

Otherhazards could impedethe unit’s movement resulting in injury or equipment damage.

Complete a unit final inspection and an area walk around. Choose an egress path free of obstructions and hazards. T

Vehicle and Road Practice

— Job StepsPotential Hazards/Loss Control Statement(s) Control Code 13Transport the quads via the transportation unit to its desired location.

Driving hazards, road conditions, weather, etc. may contribute to an incident and or injury due to the unfavorable conditions for the transport vehicle.

Complete a safe journey management plan prior to starting the trip.

Take the time to safely stop and check the secured load during the transportation trip.

T 14Once atthe desired location, choosea spottooffloadthe quad, again using the terrain as an advantage to lessen the slope of the ramp(s) and to ensure the unit is level. Complete a hazard assessment of the offload area.

Equipment damage may occurinspotting the transportation unit and orduring the offload procedure.

Prior to spotting the transportation unit, complete an area hazard assessment, choose a level location free of any hazards and with safe access and egress.

T 15Once the transportation unit is secured (park brake set on the truck), ensure the quad’s park brakeisstillengaged and prepare to offload.

Unit could inadvertently move causing personal injury or equipment damage.

Ensure the quad’s park brake is engaged. T 16Install the rampstothe transportation unit. Rampsmaybecome detachedfrom transportation unit, or not be designed for the use that is required.

Ensure the ramps are designed for the quad weight and size. Ensure the ramps are in good condition with all securing mechanisms in place and in good repair. Check the offload area and see if you require a stopping device (ensure the quad cannot free wheel into a stationary object or hazard.) A stopping device could be a small log or a 4X4 post.

T 17Check to see if the park brake is still engaged and shift the quad into neutral. Safely remove the tie-down strapsand store the straps in an area that will not impede with the safe offload of the quad unit.

Quad unit could move resultinginpersonal injury or equipment damage.

Re-check the park brake and ensure that there are no obstructions in the quad’s path that will impede a safe offload. T

Vehicle and Road Practice — Job StepsPotential Hazards/Loss Control Statement(s) Control Code 18Position yourself to the front of the quad and release the park brake.Plant feetfirmlyand slowly push the quad toward the ramps.

Worker could fall off of the transportation unit resulting in a personal injury.

Ensure that you can safely get to the front of the quad (select the easiest and safest route.) Ensure of good footing. T 19Once the quad is partially down the ramp and wanting to move downward on its own, use the handbrakestoslowthe progress. Once the quadis positioned about two thirds on the ramp and youare still standingwell onthe transportation unit, release the brakes and allow the quad to descend the rest of the way on its own (free wheel.)

Worker could fall off of the transportation unit resulting in a personal injury.

Conduct this task slowly and if you loose control; let go of the quad and ensure that you prevent yourself from injury. T
