Fail to plan adequately and your chances of being involved in an incident will increase. A Journey Management Plan is typically a set process that you follow for planning and undertaking road transport journeys in compliance with HSSE requirements, with the goal of arriving safely. Every country and company will operate different standards but as a general rule, it is wise to put in place a Journey Management Plan for trips of more than 4.5 hours. Top Tips Schedule your journey carefully to avoid night driving and those times of day when falling asleep is most likely (2am 6am) Take into account road hazards and weather conditions Adhere to the legal restrictions on driving times and distances Plan when and where to take rests Allow for unexpected delays Take plenty of drinks with you so that you stay hydrated Know what to do in case of an emergency Fatigue is one of the most obvious consequences of poor journey planning and is a major contributing factor in road traffic incidents. A good Journey Management Plan will take into account all the factors that will minimize your chances of feeling sleepy whilst driving. A Good Routine A good Journey Management Plan is simple to put in place, and should quickly become part of your everyday routine. The more often you do it, the easier it will be to follow. We automatically follow many of the journey planning steps, without even thinking about it. SAFETY SUGGESTIONS/CONCERNS If there is a topic or item that you would like either reviewed in a monthly newsletter or discussed at the quarterly safety meetings; please fill out suggestions and concerns form and please drop a note in the Safety Basket and we will do our best to accommodate your safety requests. Best Practice By planning your journey more carefully, you are more likely to stay fresh and vigilant at the wheel, safeguarding your own safety and the safety of others. Why limit a Journey Management Plan to work journeys? On family and leisure trips, a few simple steps could ensure that you and your family arrive alive.

LETS REVIEW OUR JOURNEY MANAGEMENT PLAN SAFE WORK PRACTICE Application Management is committed to the employee s safety at all times. Due to uncertain circumstances during travels, every employee must adhere to a Journey Management plan (JMP) provided by Avalanche Acid Hauling Ltd. All employees will be trained in the JMP. A JMP will be enforced so that any risk to health, safety or the environment are identified, assessed and controlled. It will be mandatory that the JMP is reviewed with all affected employees. Recovery measures are available should the journey not be completed as planned for any reason. When practicable, employees should always limited road travel and drive in daylight hours whenever possible. Always plan ahead prior to driving to destination to ensure directions, safety and efficiency. Ensure the supervisor or another employee from Avalanche Acid Hauling Ltd is aware of your route, time of arrival, as well as when they plan to be home. Protective Mechanisms PPE Communication Device Emergency Contact Numbers Guidelines A Journey Management Plan consists of a phone call to the supervisor who must be aware of the itinerary that should include: Detailed information on the expected departure and arrival times Travel route information (the driver must notify the appropriate personnel if any changes occur on route) and printed maps or GPS to destination if unfamiliar with route Road Travel should be limited and completed during day light hours whenever practicable Weather conditions to ensure it is safe to drive (adverse weather conditions should be avoided) A thorough pre-trip inspection to eliminate any safety concerns Availability of emergency equipment such as first aid kit, road flares, extra clothing, etc. that is equipped in all vehicles A reliable source of communication is used (Radio, cell phone, etc.) Emergency contact numbers It is the driver s responsibility to identify and understand potential hazards, possess the correct PPE and abide by all traffic laws and regulations.

WE ALL WORK AROUND LIVE POWER LINES AND THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANY INDUSTRY The photo above shows the line is energized. (It must be de-energized and locked out/controlled before anyone approaches the worker.) This may not be obvious, but the "rescuer" should have assumed the line was live before approaching the injured worker. If this is a primary (high-voltage) line, and workers were working on the line when it fell, permits, grounding, bonding, clearances, etc. should have been in place. The line shouldn't have been live unless de-energizing was impracticable The rescue worker is blindly running into a potentially energized area The worker approaching the injured worker should have the training to understand the hazards associated with electricity, e.g., step potential, approaching fallen electrical lines, etc. If the "rescue worker" is the first aid attendant, then he has no first aid or personal protective equipment, and he didn't ensure the absence of danger before approaching the worker Tire tracks surround this worker. Is the equipment still around and driving? Does it present a hazard? What caused the line to fall? Is the hazard still around, i.e., are there multiple casualties? Was there a hazard assessment to determine if this event was preventable, i.e., the line could have been in a precarious position to begin with (a rotten pole) and then fallen down. Or a mobile equipment operator may have been travelling or working too close to electrical lines and pulled them off. He should be within the limits of approach, especially if it is high voltage. The worker is wearing running shoes The worker's safety vest is not being worn properly The worker has an ipod in his ears The worker's hard hat is just a shell; it has no inner suspension system
