CALGARY, Alta. - The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA) said on April 9 that it supports a new pilot project designed to review health and safety processes within pipeline contractor management systems.
The pilot project will utilize a risk-based management methodology to examine various aspects of participating organizations safety management systems, including documentation, investigations, metrics, primary controls and objectives over a six- to 12-month period.
"We realize that the contractor management process can be onerous for some of our contractor partners to manage," said Ziad Saad, vice-president, safety and sustainability. "The pilot project will help participating organizations identify areas within their business that could prevent, minimize or recover from potential health and safety incidents."
