11 6.0 Safety and Environment 6.1 Safety LCP and all contractors working on the Muskrat Falls Project have a relentless commitment to the safety of workers and the public. The following table outlines the Health and Safety indicators and measurements for the month of July and for the project to date. Indicator July 2015 Project to Date Orientations completed ,301 Safety Step Backs completed 32, ,093 Work site inspections 3,291 19,222 Lost-time injuries 1 6 Medical aid incidents Environment The LCP has developed and implemented a comprehensive avifauna management plan to mitigate potential disturbance to migratory and resident avifauna (i.e., incidental take) based on federal and provincial legislation. One of the components of the avifauna management plan includes directed surveys. Ground nest surveys are conducted ahead of clearing activities and buffers are established if active nest indicators are observed. Experienced surveyors not only rely upon physical structures as cues, but also look for behavioural cues that indicate a nest is present. Buffers are then established depending on the species observed. This year s avifauna program included ground surveys in Labrador and Newfoundland along the transmission line right-of-way. In 2015, 35 buffers were established around songbird nests and 15 buffers were established around raptor nests in Labrador. In Newfoundland a total of 164 buffers around nests were established, of which 4 were raptor nests. The LCP environment team is committed to maintaining a high standard of environmental responsibility that will help to sustain a diverse and healthy environment for generations of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. 7.0 Employment, Benefits and Community Engagement This section provides information on employment benefits generated during the month as well as details on some of the community consultation and engagement activities undertaken during the month. Some of these activities are part of commitments made by LCP through the Benefits Strategy with the provincial government, the Impacts and Benefits Agreement (IBA) with Innu Nation, the Gender Equity and Diversity Program, in addition to provincial and federal environmental regulatory commitments.
