• <br />6. WORKER SAFETY Protect workers' health and safety from exposure to <br />cyanide. <br />Standards of Practice <br />6.1 Identify potential cyanide exposure scenarios and take measures as <br />necessary to eliminate, reduce and control them. <br />The operation is: ^ in full compliance <br />^ in substantial compliance <br />^ not incompliance ...with Standard of Practice 6.1 <br />Describe the basis for the Finding/Deficiencies Identified: <br />Cyanide SOPS are managed as part of the CC&V EMS. Specific procedures <br />address unloading, mixing, plant operations, confined space entry, and <br />equipment decontamination. They also address cyanide-related tasks to <br />minimize worker exposure related to: <br />• maintenance, repair, modifications, and other activities conducted in <br />proximity to the cyanide circuits; <br />• • cyanide truck unloading and inspection; <br />• cyanide batching; <br />• sampling of cyanide-containing solutions; <br />• opening of tanks in the ADR area; and <br />• pre-treatment of solution batches. <br />SOPs also address PPE requirements and pre-work inspections/precautions. <br />The EMS also has a Change Management Procedure that applies to all significant <br />operational changes, whether planned or unplanned, to ensure that significant <br />environmental impacts are considered in advance of change implementation. In <br />addition, the work order process includes management sign-off and approval <br />when maintenance requires anon-routine procedure or material change. <br />Workers are encouraged to provide input into procedural changes in regularly <br />scheduled meetings. There is also an informal process in effect for soliciting <br />process improvement input by operations staff. <br />• Cresson Proiect <br />Name of Mine <br />~~~~~ ~ <br />Signature of Lead Auditor <br />10 September 2007 <br />Date <br />Page 26 of 41 <br />
