Right to Refuse Unsafe Work
WORKERS’S RIGHT TO REFUSE UNSAFE WORK - Employees must work in a safe manner and be safety conscious on the job. No employee is to carry out work if he/she believes on reasonable and probable grounds that there is an imminent danger to the Health & Safety of themselves and/ or other workers present.
“Imminent Danger” means in relation to any occupation; its definition is as follows: “A undue hazard to the Health & Safety of the worker or danger which is not normal for that occupation or a danger under which a person engaged in that occupation would not normally carry out his/her work.”
If employees have a good reason to believe that the work they or others are being asked to perform poses an “Imminent Danger” they have both the right and obligation to refuse the unsafe work or to stop a job whenever they believe an injury, property damage or environmental damage could occur. The worker who refuses to carry out a work process or operate a tool, appliance or equipment must immediately report the circumstance of the unsafe condition to his or her Manager or Supervisor providing the reason for the refusal.
CCI Wireless shall: Immediately investigate all matters pertaining to unsafe work refusals and any reports of unsafe work and take the appropriate measures to eliminate, control, or remedy the risk of danger.
No worker will be dismissed, or any other disciplinary action taken against the worker, by the employer, should the worker refuse to perform or stops unsafe work.

PART XIX
Hazard Prevention Program
PART XIX
Hazard Prevention Program
Part XIX of the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, entitled Hazard Prevention Program, covers obligations concerning the identification of hazards, the assessment of those hazards, the choice of preventive measures, and employee education.
CCI Wireless believes that hazard recognition is the first step in preventing and controlling the hazards that are presented in the work environment. Once the hazards are recognized it is essential that the hazards are controlled. In addition, CCI Wireless focuses on mitigating the increased risk to our employees during the job task. Hazard prevention and control further builds a safety culture with a low risk tolerance allowing the risk intervention to become part of our daily work activities.
Hazard recognition and response is an integral part of maintaining a safety culture with a low risk tolerance. The key to a successful hazard recognition process is the engagement of all employees to identify the workplace hazards and eliminate or lessen the hazards to an acceptable risk.

Risk & Hazard Assessment
Hazard vs Risk
Hazard vs Risk
Hazard: Any situation, condition, device or substance that can cause harm to people, property or the environment. It is anything that can cause injury, illness or damage.
Risk: The frequency, probability and severity that can occur from hazards in a work environment. It is the chance that harm or damage may occur.
Hazards can be obvious, hidden or developing.
It's always important to reassess your hazards throughout the task.

HSE Communication
HSE information may be relayed through, but not limited to, the following means:
- HSE Notice Boards
- HSE Alerts
- Monthly Safety Meetings
- Training/Orientation
- Awareness Campaigns
- Daily Toolbox Meetings
- Joint Health Safety Committee
Emergency Response
Emergency Response Plan
Project Specific Emergency Response Plans are developed for each city (region).
All workers must be trained on the Project Specific Emergency Response Plan, upon reaching the work site and before beginning work.
Project Specific Emergency Response Plans will be tested once every 6 months. All workers must participate in such drills, and respond accordingly.
Incident Investigation Reporting
Incident Investigation
CCI Wireless and Contractors must ensure that all Incidents and near misses are reported, investigated, and recommendations are implemented to prevent recurrence.
“At Risk” behaviour and their root causes must be identified and corrected.
Incidents must be reported IMMEDIATELY!
Note* CCI Wireless reserves the right for extension in cases that require input from outside subject matter experts, complex investigation systems and unforeseen particulars that would impede or delay the completion of an investigation that are beyond the control of the Project Management Team. The level of investigation required will be based on the potential and actual severity.
Injury Management
Injury Management
Objective is to provide meaningful work to suit the physical capabilities of injured worker for a temporary period, until healthy and able to resume regular duties.
Reduce frequency and severity of absence from work.
Individual Injury Management Plans will be developed for each individual case.
"The longer an injured worker stays off the job, the more complex the situation becomes and the less likely they are to recover and return to work in a timely manner. Work is the single biggest contributing factor to injury recovery. It gives people a sense of self-worth and provides income they rely on to support their families."
