The operation provides training for employees and contractors who encounter cyanide. Inductions include Cyanide Awareness Training (NaCN Handle with Care) and Annual Refresher Training, which includes cyanide awareness and associated hazard identification. All employees have to complete this training. The Auditor reviewed the April 2017 refresher training package as well as attendee sheets. Additionally, foremen from each working area run through the Cyanide Code Procedures and discuss updates/reviews and key messages yearly. This is completed as part of the Health and Safety Management System Meeting. Training records have been retained. The operation keeps hard copies and some work areas maintain an electronic database. A review of training records for personnel across processing and maintenance revealed that records are maintained.

CC&V is: in full compliance with Standard of Practice 8.2 in substantial compliance with not in compliance with Summarize the basis for this finding: CC&V is in FULL COMPLIANCE with Standard of Practice 8.2 requiring an operation train appropriate personnel to operate the facility according to systems and procedures that protect human health, the community and the environment. The operation does train workers to perform their normal production tasks, including unloading, mixing, production, and maintenance with minimum risk to worker health and safety and in a manner that prevents unplanned cyanide releases. New starters complete a general induction that provides information on safety and the environment including hazard and risk assessment tools (JHA, etc.). Once inductions are completed personnel move to task specific training. For ADR1 and 2 new starters they begin at the ‘low risk areas’ (crusher) before progressing to ADR. When they start they focus on the “all” required cyanide procedures and then progress to area and role specific cyanide procedures. For Mill new starters they begin at the filter area and then progress to higher risk areas. All new starters work in a buddy system in each new area before being signed off as ready to work alone and ready to move onto new skill. The Supervisor will sign off on each of the procedures.
