Resources and Tools

Enform provides a wide range of safety resources and tools to help prevent the most common injuries and illnesses in the petroleum industry.

Alcohol & Drugs
This section consists of tools and resources developed by Enform's Alcohol and Drug Task Force. These electronic resources include policy models, case summaries, Gap Analysis Matrix, an Alcohol and Drug Policy template, testing guide, as well as other online A&D resources that offer useful program advice, statistics, and more.

Driving
Enform launched a safe driving campaign that targets oil and gas industry drivers as well as their enablers and influencers (co-workers, family and friends who will resonate the importance of this message). The campaign's objective is to educate Alberta's oil and gas industry drivers, family and friends that it is a decision to drive safe.

Crossing Borders Report
Enform has available a comprehensive package of information that summarizes the critical differences among BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan OH&S legislation, in terms of applicable jurisdiction, work site, and legal role and responsibilities at the work site, as of March 31, 2010.

This information package - called Crossing Borders: Is your company compliant with OH&S legislation in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan? - includes a 133-page Report, a 11-page Executive Summary and four-page Highlights document. Crossing Borders offers considerable value to oil and gas industry companies as an important tool to work towards compliance with OH&S legislation in all three western provinces.

Fatigue
Human fatigue is recognized as being one of the primary causes of incidents in the petroleum industry. The costs of fatigue and the resulting incidents are a major human and financial burden to companies, workers, and their families.

Green Hands for Green Hands
New or inexperienced workers (green hands) have twice the workplace injuries of experienced workers. Those under 24 years of age have a 60% chance of being injured in their first six months.
This program helps green hands through their high-risk period by identifying them with a green hand sticker on their hardhat so more experienced workers can watch out for them.

Inter-Provincial Workplace First Aid Requirements Planning Guide
All companies are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate number of personnel at a particular work site are trained in first aid. To help oil and gas companies understand these requirements in an inter-provincial environment in Western Canada, Enform has developed this planning guide. The guide lists first aid training requirements, the process for employers to have out-of-province first aid certificates recognized between BC and Alberta, and course equivalences being recognized in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. This document has been reviewed and approved by WorkSafeBC, Saskatchewan Labour and Work Safe Alberta.
