PAGE: 27 2. Equipment Inventry 2.1 Equipment Inventry All statins are required t have an accurate inventry f the GSE at that lcatin. Once a year the crprate ffice will send ut a request fr an updated GSE inventry. This is the respnsibility f the lcal Statin Manager since he r she is respnsible fr all GSE at their lcatin. In the event f a manager change it is very imprtant that bth managers perfrm an accurate GSE inventry t assure all equipment is accunted fr. An accurate equipment inventry is used when making up the Preventative Maintenance Inspectin (PMI) schedule. 3. Maintenance Frms 3.1 Histry Files Histry files are used t keep an accurate recrd f what repairs have been perfrmed n all GSE equipment. All wrk perfrmed n a piece f equipment shall be entered in the Histry File accurately and in a timely manner. The file shall be maintained fr the lifetime f the equipment and transferred accrdingly if the equipment is mved t anther statin. The infrmatin that is entered in the n the Histry Card is invaluable t the mechanic fr trubleshting as well as trending any prblems with the equipment. In additin, the equipment cst is als tracked. This infrmatin is als very imprtant when trying t justify the replacement f a piece f GSE equipment. In the event f an accident r an injury invlving GSE equipment, the histry file will mst likely be sent t the crprate ffice t aide in the investigatin. 3.2 Wrk Orders The ATS wrk rder is used t recrd the repairs that are perfrmed n the GSE equipment. The frm has sectins t recrd equipment number, type f equipment, date wrk began, date wrk cmpleted, descriptin f wrk perfrmed, persn perfrming repairs, parts used, ttal labr hurs, and the cst f parts. The infrmatin n the wrk rder is then entered n the histry card in the frnt f the file (brief descriptin f wrk, labr hurs, parts cst) in the apprpriate clumns. The wrk rder shall then be placed behind the histry card in the equipment file. It is very imprtant that the wrk rders are filled ut prperly t assure that the infrmatin entered n the card is crrect.
PAGE: 28 3.3 Daily Vital Fluid and Safety Inspectin The Daily Vital Fluid and Safety Inspectin checklist is used fr checking the vital fluids and basic safety features n the all mtrized GSE equipment.

In additin a cpy f the frm shall be frwarded t the relevant Reginal Safety Manager alng with the statin safety cmmittee meeting minutes at the end f each mnth. 3.6 Equipment Discrepancy Sheet The discrepancy sheet is used t reprt prblems with GSE equipment. The frm shuld be placed in an area that is accessible t all emplyees wh perate GSE. Mechanics shall check the discrepancy sheet n a daily basis and make all needed repairs. Once cmpleted, the mechanic shall indicate that the equipment is returned t service by signing and dating the discrepancy sheet adjacent t the relevant entry.
PAGE: 30 4. Preventative Maintenance 4.1 Preventative Maintenance Inspectin Preventative maintenance inspectins (PMI) are designed t avid equipment breakdwn by inspecting and finding faults befre they break and interrupt usage. The PMI prgram is effective in that it saves mney by better cntrlling maintenance csts and makes fr safer, mre reliable equipment. ATS has a preventive maintenance inspectin prgram in place and it wrks very well when everyne des there part. Each lcatin has a schedule in place that includes the mnth, equipment number, type f equipment, and type f inspectin due. ATS perfrms tw types f inspectin: A Inspectins are perfrmed twice per year. B Inspectins are perfrmed nce each year. Each piece f equipment has a specific frm fr each type f inspectin. The inspectin is cmpleted using the relevant inspectin frm. As mechanics cmplete each item n the inspectin they shall cmplete the relevant area f the paperwrk. When all repairs have been made, the inspectin frm and wrk rder are stapled tgether and entered int the histry file the same as the wrk rders discussed earlier. Statins shall remain n schedule with the preventative maintenance inspectins as this is an area that will have a majr impact n the peratin, n safety, and n the bttm line. 4. 2 Preventative Maintenance Frms Relevant PMI Frms are available n the ATS Cnnectin website. At the end f each mnth the statin manager is required t reprt the status f their PMIs t the Senir Manager, GSE Maintenance using the Mnthly PMI Reprting Frm. 5. Tls 1. 1 Tl Inventries All ATS statins that have their wn mechanics n staff are required t submit a tl inventry fr each mechanic t the Senir Manager, GSE Maintenance. This is fr insurance reasns and prtects bth the cmpany and the mechanic. If the statin has any cmpany wned tls they shall als be inventried. A cpy f the cmpany tl inventry shall be kept n file in the manager s ffice. Bth inventries shall be updated whenever there is a change t equipment n statin. Once a year the crprate ffice will send ut a request fr an updated inventry fr all mechanics.
PAGE: 31 6. Shp and Envirnmental Safety 6.1 Lck-ut / Tag-ut Shp Equipment Many types f machines are used in a GSE shp. Because f this certain safety prcedures need t be fllwed when using them. Each hard wired machine is required t have a written Lck-ut / Tag-ut prcedure. Mst machines have nly ne surce f energy but thers have mre than ne. Fr example an air cmpressr has electricity as a pwer surce and air pressure as a stred energy. A cmprehensive written prcedure details each f the ptential surces and hw t islate them s that the equipment is safe t wrk n. The written prcedure defines the fllwing items: make and mdel type f machinery energy surces crrect prcedure fr Lck-ut / Tag-ut. 6.2 Lck-ut / Tag-ut GSE If a piece f equipment is cnsidered unserviceable because f a safety item r is brken dwn, it shall be tagged ut f service. The Out Of Service tag is used t identify any piece f GSE equipment that is ut f service. The tag shuld be filled ut and attached t the steering wheel f the vehicle. In additin the negative battery cable is t be discnnected and a yellw can placed n the end f the cable. Insert a zip tie thrugh the eyelet prvided n the can. This applies t vehicles ut f service in the GSE shp and t thse that are still lcated n the ramp. 6.3 Waste Oil Strage and Dispsal Waste ils and ther hazardus liquids shall be stred and dispsed f in the prper manner. Federal gvernments, prvinces and states all have guidelines that must be fllwed. Waste il shall be stred in a cntainer that has been prperly marked with cntents (example: Waste Oil Only). Cntainers shall be placed n a spill cntainment pallet that will hld ne and ne half (1½) times the barrel capacity. If the cntainer is f metal cnstructin it shall be grunded t earth. Waste il dispsal shall be cnducted by a reputable waste hauler that is licensed by bth the state and the federal EPA. Each time a pickup is made, a waste generatr frm shall be btained frm the haulage cmpany and filed in the statin indefinitely. Fr sme cmpanies the frm and the invice are ne and the same.
PAGE: 32 Items shall never be mixed in ne barrel. An example f this wuld be mixing anti freeze with mtr il. This culd require the hauler t perfrm an expensive chemical analysis f the material. If the test results shw ther chemicals are present the hauler may refuse the barrel. It may then be cnsidered hazardus waste and dispsal becmes mre cmplicated and expensive. 6.4 Paint and Chemical Strage All chemicals, fr example paints, slvents, thinners, r any ther flammable prduct shall be stred in an apprved flammable cabinet. Cans cntaining gasline shuld nt be stred in the cabinet with ther chemicals. The cabinet shall remain clsed at all times except when remving r replacing an item. 6. 5 Material Safety Data Sheets All paint and chemicals that are purchased fr use in the GSE maintenance shp are required t have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) n file. An MSDS sheet shuld be btained at the time f purchase. The MSDS sheet cntains infrmatin abut the prduct that wuld be used t treat smene that had accidentally ingested r splashed it int their eyes. MSDS sheets are t be kept in a manual. The frnt page in the manual shuld be a prduct index t include item number and type f prduct. All prducts are t be with the numbered with the crrespnding MSDS manual sheet number. In Canada MSDS sheets shall als be available in French unless the manufacturer des nt prduce ne in that language. In this event a letter stating this fact shuld be placed n file. In additin, all MSDS sheets must have an effective date within the last three years. All mechanics are required t cmplete annual Right t Knw / WHMIS training which includes details f MSDS manual lcatin. 6.6 Fire Extinguishers All fire extinguishers in the shp shall be easily accessible in case f a fire. A three (3) ft clear zne shall be established arund each extinguisher t facilitate the clear zne. Extinguisher units shall be subject t an annual inspectin perfrmed by an apprved fire service cmpany. In additin the each unit shall be inspected mnthly fr prper pressurizatin and signs f bvius usage r damage. The inspectin shall be recrded n a mnthly inspectin tag attached t the unit. 6.7 First Aid Kit Ea ch GSE shp shall have a first aid kit stred in an accessible lcatin. A n inventry f each first aid kit shall be cmpleted n a regular basis t insure supplies are sufficient and replenished when required.
PAGE: 33 6.8 Eyewash Statin All GSE shps are required t have an eyewash statin in place. There are tw types f eyewash statins: hard plumbed t water supply plastic tank fitted t the wall The requirement is that the eyewash has a minimum 15 minute flw time. Units shall be checked mnthly fr prper water level as well as fr prper peratin. The unit shuld have an inspectin tag t recrd inspectins. 6.9 Tire Cage In the lcatins where tire repairs are perfrmed a tire cntainment cage shall be utilized when inflating tire and rim assemblies.
