Safety at work

• Our goal is zero accidents in everything we do
• Demanding lifting work requires a lifting plan and an assembly inspection for mobile cranes
• Work permit for required for all work
• A written risk assessment needs to be done before starting the work. The worker(s) must have the risk assessment with them when the work is being done.
• Scheduled safety rounds are carried out. Safety round findings are follow-up at shutdown meetings
• A written safety plan is required to be made by the main contractor for the work in an investment or major repair work.

Repeated failure to obey safety rules results in the person being denied access to the mill area for one year.

The general induction takes an hour to complete, and it must be completed in one go for it to be saved. The completed induction is valid for two years.

The local induction takes 45 minutes. The completed induction is valid for one year.

The work/department specific safety briefing takes place at the mill. Briefing is mandatory before any work at the chlorine dioxide plant.

When working at the mill, always wear:

• helmet with chin strap
• protective goggles (sealed model if required), also when moving around outside
• protective gloves
• hearing protection
• protective footwear
• high visibility clothing EN 471-2 (also, when moving around outside or in a warehouse)

Protective clothing according to the situation.

When handling chemicals, chemical pipelines and chemical equipment, a full protective mask must be worn. Instructions of the safety data sheet must be adhered to.

Basic work clothes in maintenance, service and installation work are a work jacket and/or long-sleeved work shirt and trousers, bib-and-brace overalls or coveralls. The protective clothing must be worn so that the outfit covers both the upper and lower body, neck, arms and legs.

When using personnel lifting device, fall protection must be worn and a safety rope must be attached to prevent falling.

Full face mask with ABEK-P3 filter for gases.

At least an FFP3 class mask is required at the effluent treatment plant.

A welding helmet for welding and always a fresh air breathing apparatus in stainless steel welding.

Concentration meter in all confined spaces, also in other work, if required.

NB! For work in the Lignin process and power plant's liquor line area, the work team must have a hydrogen sulphide concentration meter (H₂S).

Lifting and tools

• Special lifting requires written lifting plans
• Written commissioning inspections must be carried out for mobile cranes
• Daily commissioning inspections for personnel lifting devices are carried out by the supervisors of the company using the device, under the supervision of the contracting company
• The supervisors of the company using the personnel lifting device grant the permits to its personnel to use the device. The permit is recorded in, for example, a notebook from where the granting of the permit can be checked before the device is taken into use
• The lifting tools must be in good shape and inspected

Scaffolding

• Scaffolding must only be built according to building safety regulations, such as work scaffold ramps: Government Decree on the Safety of Construction Work (205/2009), chapter 11 (see: section 64) and chapter 12 (see: section 67)
• The inspected scaffolding must include a scaffold tag, only weekly inspected scaffolding may be used
• The commissioning inspection is carried out by the builder of the scaffolding and by the scaffolding contractor or their representative
• Work carried out at height is done using suitable scaffolding or personnel lifting device. A leaning ladder must not be used as a work platform
• A-frame ladders must not be used if the work requires use of electrical tools or tools requiring use of force
• Before using an A-frame ladder, check that the legs of the ladder are resting on a hard and level surface

Restricting the work area

Sufficient work site area restrictions must be in place when carrying out lifting work, personnel lifting device work and other work that requires restricting the area. Contractors must be equipped with adequate marking and restricting equipment when coming to work.

Accident

• Contractors must have sufficient first aid equipment and trained personnel at the site

• At the start of the work, you must familiarize yourself with the area's emergency showers and eye rinsing points

Fire

The needed fire extinguishing equipment must be inspected yearly and provided by the contractor for the work groups.

Gas hazard

• The contractor brings the required personal protective equipment and concentration meters to the worksite
• When work starts at the worksite, workers must familiarise themselves with the area's fire and emergency instructions and the location of the defibrillators in the mill area
• Review how to call for help and the location of the rescue assembly point beforehand. In emergencies always call 112.

Always inform your work supervisor of accidents and safety observations

• Chlorine dioxide water
• Hydrogen sulphide
• White liquor
• Boiler ash from incineration plants using biofuels

When making the call, state:

• who you are
• what has happened
• where it happened
• is anyone in danger

Answer any questions.

Do not end the call before you are told to do so.

Arrange for someone to show the way.
