ICMC RECERTIFICATION SUMMARY AUDIT REPORT <br /> <br />The procedures contain step-by-step instructions on how to perform each task, as well as pertinent health, <br />safety and environment information. <br />Personnel are not permitted to work unsupervised until they have been deemed competent on the tasks and <br />the supervisor is satisfied they understand the task and work area. The training and signoff by the supervisor <br />is supported by the 5000 23 Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Certificate of Training Form. <br />This form provides a means for mine operators to record and certify Part 48 mandatory training received by <br />miners. It is a requirement that only a competent trainer signs off on completed training. <br />Foremen from each working area run through the Cyanide Code Procedures discuss updates/reviews and <br />key messages with their teams yearly. This is completed as part of the Health and Safety Management <br />System Meeting. <br />The Emergency Response Coordinator conducts the refresher cyanide awareness training, which includes <br />knowledge assessment and practical evaluation. The on the job training follows a buddy system which <br />includes observation and demonstration as part of the assessment process. The supervisors informed the <br />Auditor that they verbally and visually confirms that the operator is competent in the role before signing of <br />that they have completed each individual cyanide procedure. <br />Hard copy files of training records are kept with each area Foreman. Some records are also being tracked on <br />the online SAP system. A review of a random sample of training files of personnel from ADR 1 and 2, Mill <br />and Maintenance showed that records are retained. <br />Standard of Practice 8.3: Train appropriate workers and personnel to respond to worker <br />exposures and environmental releases of cyanide. <br />CC&V is: <br /> in full compliance with <br />Standard of Practice 8.3 in substantial compliance with <br /> not in compliance with <br />Summarize the basis for this finding: <br />CC&V is in FULL COMPLIANCE with Standard of Practice 8.3 requiring an operation develop and implement <br />emergency response plans and procedures to respond to worker exposure to cyanide. <br />Cyanide unloading, mixing, production and maintenance personnel are trained in the procedures to be <br />followed if cyanide is released. All personnel working are trained in the Cyanide Code Procedure 3 <br />(Emergency Response Procedure); Procedure 4 (Cyanide Spillage) as well as the ERP. All personnel also <br />receive instruction and training on emergency response and raising the alarm. The primary response actions <br />for personnel are to raise the alarm and evacuate the area. The auditor confirmed this through interviews <br />with personnel. <br />The MRT members will be called to respond to an incident. They are trained in the process in the ERP and <br />have undertaken specific MRT training scenarios as well as participating in operation wide drills. Site <br />personnel, including unloading, mixing, production and maintenance workers, are trained in decontamination <br />and first aid procedures and take part in routine drills to test and improve their response skills. <br />The MRT are the primary responders and undertake regular skills training. The MRT have regular training in <br />both the theory and practical aspects of emergency response. General response to chemical incidents is <br />covered through external hazardous materials training and site-specific training and equipment use is <br />undertaken through practical training and mock exercises. <br />Outside responders do have a role in providing support in an emergency and the operation has made offsite <br />emergency responders familiar with their roles. The role of the outside responders and medical facilities is <br />communicated and clarified in the desktop exercises (roundtables) and the Emergency Coordinators <br />attendance at community/stakeholder meetings. . Communication between the Emergency Response <br />Coordinator and facilities has been provided confirming their acceptance to assist in an emergency. <br />CC&V Mine <br />Name of Facility __________________________________ <br />Signature of Lead Auditor <br />July 28, 2017 <br />Date <br />July 2017 <br />Report No. 1663584-003-R-Rev0 28
