What you receive, before you pay for it

1. Summary

Current grade with Operator A is C. Four items block an A grade: one rejected program, one missing program, unanswered questionnaire sections and an insurance limit below the client's minimum. Three of the four are paperwork we can fix. The insurance limit requires your agent.

2. Blocking items, in order

3. Outside our scope

• Increase the auto liability limit and send an updated certificate of insurance.
• Make sure crews complete the H2S training the client lists before mobilization.

4. Recommended next step

Setup for ISNetworld: $990 at launch pricing, with the $149 audit credited ($841 due). Delivery in 10 business days after the intake form.

1. Purpose

This program explains how Red Butte Energy Services informs employees about the hazards of chemicals they may be exposed to at work, as required by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) as amended in 2024.

2. Scope

Applies to all employees at the Dickinson, ND shop and at client locations, including well sites, tank batteries and compressor stations, and to any temporary workers we supervise.

3. Regulatory references

• 29 CFR 1910.1200, Hazard Communication (general industry)
• 29 CFR 1926.59, Hazard Communication (construction; adopts 1910.1200)
• Client site rules, where stricter

4. Responsibilities

• Owner: provides resources and approves this program.
• Safety Coordinator: maintains the chemical inventory and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), delivers training and reviews this program yearly.
• Supervisors: make sure containers are labeled, SDS are reachable on each job, and new workers are trained before handling chemicals.
• Employees: read labels and SDS before use, use required PPE, and report missing labels or spills immediately.

5. Chemical inventory

The Safety Coordinator keeps a list of every hazardous chemical used or stored by the company, using the product identifier that appears on the label and SDS. The list is updated when a new product is purchased and reviewed at least yearly.

6. Labels and other forms of warning

Shipped containers keep the manufacturer's label: product identifier, signal word, hazard statements, pictograms, precautionary statements and supplier contact. Secondary containers are labeled with the product identifier and hazards. Damaged or unreadable labels are replaced before the container is used again.

7. Safety Data Sheets

An SDS is kept for every product on the inventory, in the shop binder and in the shared drive, and each field truck carries access to the SDS library. Employees can get an SDS at any time during their shift. If an SDS is missing, the product is not used until it arrives.

8. Employee training

Training happens at hire, before first exposure, and whenever a new chemical hazard is introduced. It covers the HCS requirements, how to read labels and SDS, the hazards of chemicals in the work area (including H2S, hydrocarbons, methanol and cleaning solvents where applicable), how to detect a release, protective measures and emergency procedures. Training records include name, date, topics and trainer, and are kept for the length of employment plus 3 years.

9. Non-routine tasks

Before a non-routine task that may involve chemical exposure, such as cleaning a tank or opening a line, the supervisor reviews the hazards, SDS and PPE with the crew and documents it on the job safety analysis.

10. Multi-employer work sites

Before work starts at a client site, the supervisor asks the host employer which chemical hazards our crew may be exposed to and where the SDS are kept. We tell the host employer and other contractors which hazardous chemicals we bring on site and provide SDS on request.

11. Program review

The Safety Coordinator reviews this program at least once a year and after any chemical-related incident. Changes are approved by the owner and communicated to employees.

Full deliverables also include the chemical inventory and training record templates as appendices.
