OUR 2025 COMMITMENT
The annual Brock Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality (HSEQ) Strategic Plan is a tradition at the Brock Group. The plan’s concept was developed to share our Bsafe culture, which places an emphasis on prioritizing safety in all that we do; beginning with a common culture
of Respect and Caring, and a commitment to an incident and injury free work environment that aspires toward a zero-harm culture and service excellence. This commitment defines us as individuals and sets us apart within
the industry. This Strategic Plan provides us a foundation for communicating all the elements that contribute to our Bsafe culture and show examples of our successes along this journey, while providing a view of our efforts toward further improvement and highlighting the many ways Brock can be a valuable partner for our current and future clients.

process for hiring and training new employees, a comprehensive hazard recognition program, and a program to measure the results, Brock provides a full-spectrum approach to improving human performance and creating a zero-harm culture. Our achievements over the past decade reflect these values. We’ve reduced recordable injuries by over 80% and first aid injuries by over 62%. Although we are still not at zero, these data points signify our commitment to the health and safety of our employees and the continuous improvement of our foundational programs. Most importantly, we’ve created a workplace where people feel seen, heard, and valued. While we take this moment to celebrate, we know the journey doesn’t end here. The next decade will bring new challenges, but our commitment to health, safety, and environmental excellence will remain steadfast. Our strategic priorities include: • Continuous improvement: Adapting to emerging risks and leveraging innovation to enhance our safety systems. • Leadership development : Investing in HSE training and cultivating a new generation of safety leaders. • Driving fundamental soundness: Ensuring the sites in which we perform work are fully implementing and driving the fundamental programs that establish the firm foundation in which our Bsafe culture stands As the Vice President of HSEQ, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the success of Bsafe . Your dedication and partnership have brought us to this milestone, and they will carry us forward into the future. Let’s continue to Take It to Heart—protecting lives, respecting one another, and building a legacy of excellence. Together, we will achieve even greater heights in the years to come. Thank you for all you do and let’s make 2025 the best year yet! Thanks and Bsafe !
Drew Ashcraft VICE PRESIDENT OF HSEQ
As we mark the 10th anniversary of our Bsafe – Take It to Heart program, I am both humbled and proud to reflect on the journey we’ve taken as an organization. Over the past decade, Bsafe has grown from a set of principles to a way of life, shaping our culture, protecting lives, and fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. Bsafe is more than a safety initiative; it’s a reflection of who we are. Rooted in respect and caring, the program challenges us to take personal accountability for our own health and safety as well as those around us. It’s not just about following procedures—it’s about looking out for one another and ensuring that everyone goes home safely every day. We will continue to drive superior safety performance by connecting the hearts to the minds of our employees, making safety personal, and exemplifying the Bsafe culture in everything we do. When Bsafe began 10 years ago, our goal was clear: to create a zero-harm workplace by taking safety to heart. Through our HSE core elements of a defined organizational safety culture, a

HSE CORE ELEMENTS SYSTEM
The Brock HSE Core Elements System is a comprehensive safety process integrated into Brock’s core business model. Because most operations focus on staffing, training, and equipping the labor force, the HSE Core Elements System is built around those functions. The core elements system includes a defined organizational structure, a process for hiring and training new employees, a comprehensive hazard recognition program, and a program to measure the results. The integrated system provides a full-spectrum approach to improving human performance. With this model, Brock is able to include additional HSE training modules depending on client-specific mandates, local regulations, and task- specific requirements, so that the company’s HSE model can be effective for job sites of any size across a variety of service offerings. The graphic below provides an explanation of the core elements of the system. The following pages provide greater details into the individual programs within each category.
Bsafe Safety Culture

Safety Culture Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist across an establishment. The Bsafe culture is the culmination of all we do to ensure zero-harm. Measures include promoting an atmosphere to create beliefs and attitudes that shape behaviors, focusing on a positive impact, and fostering a culture of respect and caring. The Bsafe culture brings all levels of our organization together to work on common goals that everyone holds in high value and will strengthen the organizational culture. It encourages everyone to feel responsible for safety and pursue it on a daily basis. It also encourages everyone to go beyond “the call of duty” to identify unsafe conditions and behaviors, and then intervene to correct them. Our Bsafe culture drives an attitude of caring and fortifies our belief that ZER0 is an attainable goal. Bsafe Commitment
The Brock Bsafe Commitment is the personalization of the company’s commitment to achieving zero-harm at the work-site. Brock believes every individual deserves a culture of respect and caring. Therefore, as a company we commit to:
• Making safety personal • Always intervening • Taking pride in quality work
• Committing to HSE core elements • Achieving operational excellence • Being a HER 0 by “Helping Everyone Reach ZER 0 ” through intervention These are guiding principles which serve to support every decision made in the company at all levels. They are an expectation of performance and are inherent to what we do. Bsafe Rules for Life Bsafe Rules for Life is at the heart of our safety vision and the result of our ongoing commitment to safety. These rules are used to mitigate risk, reduce potential injuries, and are intended to supplement and support existing company management systems, programs, and policies. Bsafe Rules for Life focus on modifying worker and supervisor behaviors in the workplace by raising awareness of activities that are most likely to result in catastrophic events. Such activities include: falls, permit violations, isolation of energy sources, confined space entry, disabling safety devices, use of drugs and alcohol, working under suspended loads, and a wilful lack of intervention. We all have a responsibility to comply with the Bsafe Rules for Life and to personally intervene if we feel others may be working unsafely. CARE Program We want our employees to be able to focus at work as life continues outside the work environment. To help our employees deal with problems that life can present, we offer counselling service with a CARE (Caring and Respecting Everyone) Representative that is available to all employees 24/7. The services provided include: assisted guidance with family, substance abuse, depression, and emotional and spiritual questions and concerns. CARE Representatives regularly schedule visits to work-sites and numbers are posted to call between visits. The confidentiality of using the CARE Program service promotes employee involvement and proactive assistance makes this program a successful benefit to our employees. Our Bsafe Rules for Life have a zero tolerance enforcement and underpin our safety values and vision. Compliance is required by everyone, whether office based or on the front line.

Bsafe HER 0
We have all heard the word “hero” from time to time, but have you ever asked yourself “What is a hero?” Is a hero someone we admire, respect, and look up to, or is a hero someone with “super powers”? While there are many interpretations of what a hero is, Brock considers a Bsafe HER0 to be someone who transforms respect and caring into heroic actions. It takes more than random acts of kindness to make a Bsafe HER0. It requires acts that are very distinct and direct; a Bsafe HER0 is a person who intervenes. Brock believes that everyone has the power and ability to be a Bsafe HER0. We may not have super powers like X-ray vision or super strength, but we all possess the personal qualities of respect and caring, which are the greatest attributes of all superheroes. Those qualities make our workforce a League of Heroes and fosters a work environment of ZER0 Harm, ZER0 Quality Defects, and ZER0 Rule Violations. OSHA VPP The OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) promotes effective worksite-based safety and health. By participating in VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system. Approval into VPP is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts by employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health. As a company, we have decided to pursue VPP status because meeting the minimum expectations is not sufficient; we continuously seek to excel and be the best of the best. With this goal in mind, we structured our safety and health management programs to go above and beyond any regulatory or industry expectations. A job site that is adequately applying our safety and health programs is already prepared for the rigorous auditing required in the VPP process. The thought process and commitment to VPP allows us to meet our expectations and the high expectations of VPP.
Corporate Recognition Program
Reinforcement of safety performance should be positive, proactive, and designed to help employees understand when, where, and what forms of safety behaviors are expected. Recognizing and rewarding employees for compliance with safety protocols, successful progression, and achievement towards their safety goals is one way to develop and, more importantly, reinforce, an organizational norm that working safely is valued and expected. Brock developed a structured program with a clear path to success through all levels of the corporation with recognition for individual employees, supervisors, and HSEQ professionals, which includes Regional Presidential Recognition Awards and Corporate CEO Awards that are selected from the pool of Regional award winners. The required criteria are in the form of well-defined safety goals, regular feedback, goal reinforcement, and clearly outlined recognition paired with specific behaviors or outcomes. We believe that a strong commitment to safety will result in lower accident and injury rates that will consequently derive benefits in terms of reduced absenteeism, turnover, workers’ compensation expenses, and increased employee morale and productivity. Simply put, recognizing employees with exceptional safety performance improves the overall effectiveness of our health and safety well-being.
RECOGNITION PROGRAM
12 | Brock HSEQ Strategic Plan 2025
Engage
When we, as employees, are engaged, we adopt the vision, values, and purpose of the company we work for. We become passionate contributors and innovative problem solvers. Employee engagement results in the right conditions for everyone to give their best each day, be committed to our company’s goals and values, be motivated to contribute to the company’s success, and know how it contributes to our well-being. Being engaged creates an opportunity for you to make a difference by having a voice and creating a work environment that is positive, safe, and productive. Being engaged creates a better future for us all.
Onboarding
Brock will hire approximately 25,000 new employees every year as projects and turnarounds start and conclude. Therefore, a major component of safety success is our time-tested new employee orientation success. In addition to annual training, the new employee pipeline includes at a minimum: • Pre-employment Screening
• Background Screening • New Hire Orientation • Brock HSE Training • Site-Specific HSE Orientation Training • Short Service Worker Mentorship Program
This process prepares employees to join the Brock team within their role and ensures appropriate behavioral attitudes are developed early. Most importantly, it assigns a mentor to each new employee to ensure those team members get individualized feedback and support.
Short Service Worker
Having recognized that personnel who are new to the company or facility/work site are more susceptible to being involved in a work-related incident, Brock has developed a Short Service Worker Program to provide safety knowledge and assistance to new personnel. From the moment someone becomes a Brock employee, that person is supported with the transition into Brock’s proactive Bsafe culture by entering the Short Service Worker Program. This program pairs new employees with experienced employees that serve as mentors to help new employees understand both company and client safe work practices and expectations. Unlike most short service worker programs, the Brock Short Service Worker Program includes delivery of training material through handbooks that increase efficiency, establish mitigation plans for sudden increases in personnel, and provide for better accountability. The handbooks also provide standardized discussion topics for new hires and mentors that: • Complement the orientation and compliance programs • Introduce new employees to the company and facility/worksite • Provide ongoing learning opportunities in the site standards • Instill in each new employee a firm understanding of our safety expectations

Having the right people lead a workforce is important. That’s why we ensure each supervisor has the skills, training, and capabilities necessary to direct and inspire our workforce to meet goals that drive the Bsafe culture. Supervisor onboarding defines leadership roles and responsibilities and enhances the group skills necessary for working with and leading others. Training also teaches our supervisors applied problem solving techniques, analysis of personal performance, and effective goal setting practices. Each of these skills is essential for our supervisors’ success, which in turn drives the success of our employees and the company. Supervisor Onboarding
Training
The average employee completes over 120 training topics in a given year. This effort represents a massive organizational undertaking across a variety of training locations, venue types, and training content. The training model provides qualified and competent personnel to the customer and ensures safety is addressed early and developed into operations. Training subjects include: • Craft Training – Scaffolding, Insulation, Coatings, TSA, Lead, DOT Training, Asbestos • OSHA Compliance Training • Human Resource Training (i.e. Preventing Harassment, Substance Abuse, etc.) • Leadership and Management Training • Brock HSE focus areas • Client training requirements such as LPS® Most training evolutions are validated through testing and hands-on demonstration. Brock utilizes a full suite of training and certification curricula developed through the National Center for Construction Education and Research, the Scaffold Access and Industry Association, the Association for Materials Protection and Performance, and the Industrial Scaffolding Committee. Additionally, Brock has developed in-house curriculum for each of its primary service offerings. Brock Emphasis Programs The ability to identify safety trends is important to the success of a company, but only if action is taken to address and correct those trends. Our Emphasis Programs are a series of modules that have been developed and employed as a campaign to spread awareness and attack trends that are recognized in our company and industry. Initially developed in 2011, the Brock Emphasis Programs are an evergreen training series that focuses on incident trends. This training is typically provided over a two or four-week period. Deployment is synchronized company-wide during each month. Each module requires employee involvement at all levels and encourages open dialog and problem solving between employees, supervision, and management, which we believe are important elements in helping to develop a safe workforce. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained.

Stop the Drop
Handling materials and working with tools is a substantial part of the work we do as a company and a majority of that work is done at heights. Within our industry, dropped materials and tools present a high exposure to potentially serious incidents. In response to this potential hazard, we developed and implemented the Stop the Drop Module as part of our Emphasis Programs to proactively address this concern. Stop the Drop is a four-week module focused on the potential for injury due to dropped and falling objects, as well as the elimination and control measures needed to mitigate those hazards. This module encourages employee participation and opens dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is comprehended and retained. By educating each employee about the possibility of falling objects and how to mitigate that risk, employees are prepared and given the tools they need to prevent potential falling object hazards. They are able to “Stop the Drop.” Protect Your Hands While working, we place our hands at risk hundreds of times each day and expose them to injuries each time we use them. To aid in hand injury awareness, identify the risk of working with our hands, and demonstrate how to mitigate those hazards, we developed and implemented the Protect Your Hands Module as part of our Emphasis Programs. Protect Your Hands is a two-week module that focuses on the potential for injury to your hands when working, how to identify hand hazards such as pinch points, sharp edges, material handling, line of fire, and the elimination and control measures needed to mitigate those hazards. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained. Slips, trips, and falls are second only to motor vehicles in the number of fatalities within North America. Statistics show that the majority of falls happen on the same level resulting from slips and trips. To reduce injuries from same level falls, we implemented the Walking/Working Surfaces module as part of our Emphasis Programs In this two-week module, we examine hazards and proven mitigation steps for falls due to slips, trips, housekeeping, stairs, ladders, changes in elevation, and other less than ideal walking surfaces. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained. Walking/Working Surfaces
Brock HSEQ Strategic Plan 2025 | 15
Working at Heights Each day our company is required to work at heights building scaffolds, applying coatings, abating asbestos, re-insulating equipment, and many other situations. Working at heights exposes our employees to falls, a major cause of workplace fatalities. To proactively prevent falls, we have developed and implemented our Working at Heights module as part of our Emphasis Programs. The Working at Heights module is a four-week training focusing on the potential of falls, the possible devastating outcome, and the control measures needed to mitigate those hazards. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained. By educating each employee about the potential of falls and how to mitigate the hazard, they have the opportunity and the tools they need to possibly save a life. We often work in close proximity to hazards in the work environment and the last thing we want to do is put ourselves in a position to be injured by those hazards. Unfortunately, it can be an easy and unforgiving mistake to make. Lack of knowledge and understanding can consequently hinder us and, before you know it, you are centered in the cross-hairs of a dangerous hazard. To proactively prevent Line of Fire injuries, we have developed and implemented our Line of Fire module as part of our Emphasis Programs. The Line of Fire module is a four-week training course focused on the injury potential when in the line of fire and the control measures needed to mitigate those hazards. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings, incident case studies, and a knowledge check. By educating each employee about line of fire hazards and how to mitigate those hazards, they have the ability and the tools to identify, correct, and stay out of the Line of Fire. Line of Fire Stop the Drop 2.0 Stop the Drop was the first module created and implemented as part of our Emphasis Programs. This module addresses the subject of dropped tools and materials by focusing on topics such as housekeeping, barricades, and the mechanics of dropped objects. Having realized the success of the Stop the Drop Module, we revitalized the training course to gain further educational opportunities and introduced Stop the Drop 2.0 “Get a Grip” to our Emphasis Programs. This module underpins the topics from the original, while presenting topics and technology, such as advanced gripping gloves, communication verifications, and detailed material manipulation, which aids us in taking the prevention of dropped objects to the next level. The Stop the Drop 2.0 “Get a Grip” Module is a four-week module focusing on dropped object causal factors and the control measures needed to mitigate them. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic- specific tailgate safety meetings, incident case studies, and a knowledge check. By educating each employee about the causal factors of dropped objects and how to mitigate that risk, employees are prepared and given the tools they need to “Get a Grip” on potential dropped object hazards.
16 | Brock HSEQ Strategic Plan 2025
Hazards exist in our environment, however, when the hazard is the environment, we must be prepared. Many of the areas we work in are subject to dangerous weather conditions. Extreme weather can cause emergency conditions and situations to develop on any job site, anywhere, and during any part of the year. The Hazardous Environments Emphasis will focus on hazards created by the weather, identifying those hazards, and applying the mitigation steps to protect property and life. Hazardous Environments
Overexertion It can be easy to overexert yourself while performing labor intensive tasks. A pulled muscle or strained ligament can be a serious injury and we want to provide all the tools necessary to keep our employees safe. This module emphasizes the potential for injury from overexertion while performing work related tasks. The two-week program discusses awareness of overexertion situations and suggestions of how to make the right decision to prevent these types of injuries. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained. Every 12 minutes someone dies in a motor vehicle crash. Every 10 seconds an injury occurs from a motor vehicle crash. And every 5 seconds a motor vehicle crash occurs. Many of these incidents occur during the workday or during the commute to and from work. The best way to reduce the risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident is to practice safe driving behaviors. Whether you’re learning to drive or have been behind the wheel for decades, this four-week module introduces the driver to some basic rules that can establish behaviors to driving safely. By implementing this Driver and Vehicle Safety module in the workplace, we have greatly reduced the risks faced by our employees and their families. Driver & Vehicle Safety Inspect What You Expect “Inspect What You Expect” is an idiom that applies equally to employees, supervisors, managers, and executives. This concept describes key, specific behaviors that ensure work is done safely and properly. In business, leadership inspects all aspects of the job as part of their risk management and quality assurance processes. Without proper inspection methods, even successful leaders experience how quickly things can go wrong. For Brock to reach operational excellence, it is an important principle of success, to inspect what you expect, and to do it the right way. Inspection should not be performed like an audit or a check-and-balance task. This practice encourages leadership to embrace our most essential resource, our employees, with respect and caring as expectations are studied.
Brock HSEQ Strategic Plan 2025 | 17
Hazard Recognition
The Brock Safety Hazard Recognition Program is an in-depth, comprehensive system to prevent incidents. It utilizes a brief mental and written task assessment, subject matter expertise, and formal supervisory control measures when critical and high-risk activities have been identified. The elements of the Hazard Recognition Plan are as follows: • PAUSE + MORE Process (“Pause, Assess, Understand, Share, Execute + Mitigate, Our, Risk, Exposure): is a brief, mental risk assessment and mitigation process before any job or when there is a change on the job site. The overwhelming majority of all job site accidents can be prevented with an effective “PAUSE + MORE .” • SHARP Card (Safety Hazard Analysis and Recognition Plan): is an individual pre-task analysis conducted by each crew member to identify hazards that are specific to their task. The SHARP card helps to identify proper PPE, contains a water log, and includes a scoring scale to help encourage mentorship. • L-JSA (Library Job Safety Analysis): L-JSAs are pre-populated documents which outline key, specific risks of a given task, regardless of the setting. L-JSAs are completed by subject matter experts and used as a reference during pre-job analysis by all crews. • C-HAP (Critical Hazard Analysis Plan): The C-HAP provides formal supervisory control measures when a critical or high-risk activity has been identified. This process ensures that a senior supervisor is reviewing the hazard plan, permit, and all other aspects of the task plan to provide appropriate oversight and support during these particular activities.
Recognizing, mitigating, and eliminating hazards is the foundation of safe work. One of the best ways we can protect our co-workers is to strengthen their hazard perception skills by training them to recognize existing and potential hazards. As part of our Bsafe culture, we have committed ourselves to the belief that all accidents can be prevented. Knowing this, we have developed many tools just for the purpose of preventing accidents to make sure we all go home safe and healthy every day. When it comes to safety at work, it’s entirely possible to identify hazards and fix them before something unfortunate happens. Helping develop safe work habits that are consistently reinforced can help us become aware of our actions and work safely. The Hazard Recognition emphasis will focus on how to identify hazards and how to mitigate hazards when found. Hazard Recognition PAUSE + MORE As a last minute risk assessment and mitigation process, Brock’s PAUSE + MORE provides our employees with a tangible identifier that is worn visibly by all employees. This identifier is a constant reminder to “PAUSE” any time risks appear and to address any hazards present and take meaningful action to do something about it. As part of our Bsafe culture, employees are expected to continuously keep the PAUSE + MORE Process in mind. Everyone should “Pause” before starting a task or anytime risks arise, “Assess” the hazards by scrutinizing each aspect of the task at hand, “Understand” the cause and effects of the hazards and take the actions necessary to prevent those hazards. Employees should then “Share” any findings that may have adverse or undesirable effects on co-workers or others in the immediate area. Once the necessary precautions are complete, the final step is to “Execute” the task. With MORE , we “Mitigate Our Risk Exposure”. By eliminating or reducing hazards found during PAUSE, we protect not only ourselves but everyone. Mitigating a hazard reduces or eliminates the possibility of loss, injury, or other adverse or unwelcome circumstance to help all of us from coming into contact or being involved with hazards that can cause illness or injury.
18 | Brock HSEQ Strategic Plan 2025
Library Job Safety Analysis (L-JSA) are used to identify potential workplace hazards and promote employee participation in pre-job planning at the front line of our operations. L-JSA is a tool that provides a consistent pre-job safety analysis execution and offers the structure to control those hazards via employees clearly defining mitigation procedures for the successful control and elimination of each hazard. Pre-Job Plan
Planning The Bsafe culture requires employee safety to be integral to all we do. Some may believe that safety planning starts each morning or before each work shift begins; however, we believe that a safe mindset should always be present, including at the bidding stage of the work. By integrating HSE execution plans at the bidding stage, we are able to identify and address any critical tasks, equipment, material, and training needs early, allowing effective and proactive actions to be taken to address any concerns. HSE execution plans support employee safety from the onset of a project, ensuring safety is a value intertwined with all other aspects of our performance. Everyone’s concerns are important and we want to be aware of them. By utilizing our workforce to provide information on the health of our HSE processes and work environment, we are able to mitigate concerns and gauge the effectiveness of our programs. Employees are encouraged to report hazards or concerns and are provided a means to do so anonymously. Reported hazards or concerns are documented and tracked to closure, with the data used to identify potential trends. We emphasize the importance of providing employees with feedback on their issues and concerns because each member of the team is a major part of the success of our safety program. To accomplish this, employees are notified of actions taken to resolve their concerns. Hazard Concerns Reporting Hazard Recognition Program (SHARP) The desire to provide a system that allows for an improved opportunity to recognize hazards has led us to reinvent our hazard recognition program with a focus at three levels: Library Job Safety Analysis (L-JSA), field-level risk assessment, and a critical hazard action plan. Each L-JSA has been developed by subject matter experts to address specific hazards associated with the tasks aligned with each craft. These L-JSAs will be a reference for each employee as they complete a Safety Hazard AnalyLsis Review Plan or SHARP Card, which is a field-level risk assessment that is required to be completed by each employee before beginning work. The SHARP card requires employees to analyze the hazards for their own tasks and work location. Additionally, the SHARP card contains a Critical Hazard Index that identifies specific potential safety issues. If a critical hazard is identified, all work must stop and a Critical Hazard Action Plan will be completed by the supervisor and addresses the elimination or control measures of the critical hazard. It also requires review for approval by an additional supervisor before work may resume.
HAZARD CONCERNS REPORTING
Brock HSEQ Strategic Plan 2025 | 19
Hazard Hunt
The threat of danger surrounds every person, every day, and being challenged to look beyond tasks to identify and eliminate hazards before the exposure is key to working safely. One of the best ways we can protect our co-workers is to strengthen their hazard perception skills by training them to recognize existing and potential hazards. Helping develop safe work habits that are consistently reinforced can help them become aware of their actions and work safely. Recognizing, mitigating, and eliminating hazards is the foundation of safe work as part of our Bsafe culture, we have committed ourselves to the belief that all accidents can be prevented. We must do everything we can to eliminate or control all hazards, making the risk as low as possible. Best Foot Forward In general, slips and trips occur due to a loss of traction between the shoe and the walking surface or inadvertent contact with a fixed or movable object. Walking is considered routine, however, the risk of injury is high. Although we naturally place as much “regular” or “routine” things we do under autonomic control, we must stay aware of what is around us when we are moving about. This emphasis helps employees to put their “Best Foot Forward” focusing on the elimination of hazards related to walking/ working surfaces.
Measurement
Each process within the Brock Core Elements System is designed to measure the performance results of the individual employees and HSE Programs. Brock surveys, tests, reports, audits, and completes field engagements to measure the performance results of the individual. In addition, Brock utilizes the HER0 Observation Program, which promotes the involvement of supervision and employee observation. • Promote a proactive attitude • Sharpen observation skills and hazard recognition • Track and trend results • Feedback given to all levels for continuous improvement goals • Provide timely and actionable feedback The HER0 Observation Program validates process effectiveness and better identifies leading indicators to HSEQ performance.
A team willing to help others prevent all harm is the HER0 challenge. Seeking to help others, intervening, and striving to achieve safety excellence are the “Helping Everyone Reach ZER0” principles. If each employee realizes how their behavior affects their safety and the safety of their co-workers, the level of workplace safety can increase significantly. The HER0 Observation Program is designed to promote supervisor and employee involvement in recognizing mental focus, safe work behaviors, and the responsibility to intervene.

RCA/Incident Reporting Utilizing a systematic approach to identify root causes and contributing causal factors of undesired consequences makes it possible for us to reveal opportunities to prevent repeat failures. Incident investigation allows us to learn from incidents and communicate the lessons learned to both internal personnel and other stakeholders. Depending upon the depth of the analysis, this feedback can apply to the specific incident under investigation or a group of incidents sharing similar root causes at other locations or industry wide. Timely reporting of all incidents, no matter how minor, coupled with thorough investigations, provides the ability to gain important feedback by identifying and addressing the root cause and contributing causal factors of equipment failures and personnel errors. Investigation results allow leveraged solutions to be developed and implemented, which reduces the frequency and/or consequences of entire categories of incidents. Our effective auditing program provides a structured, blame-free method of proactively identifying and eliminating hazards. An organized quarterly audit is performed at each of our work locations by site and project management in conjunction with HSEQ personnel. This audit is an element within our safety program that evaluates each site’s compliance with company, customer, and regulatory requirements. Observations and discrepancies are documented, shared, and tracked to completion if it is not possible to correct those discrepancies immediately. Management Safety Audits are performed by upper levels of the HSEQ team. In addition to assessing administrative, training, and workplace conditions, MSAs focus on corrective actions progress documented from previous audits. Management Safety Audits (MSA) HSE Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Consistent analysis of the health and safety performance of our company provides a road map of our journey. Using lagging indicators in conjunction with leading indicator tools is an effective method of identifying paths forward when addressing target areas and developing a clearly defined plan for reaching our goals and continuous improvement efforts. Incident charting/trending and comparison to regional and company-wide data allows us to identify areas of company health, safety, and environmental concerns that affect our employees and our company. Our Incident Management process focuses on a hurt based, zero-harm safety culture, and identifies both the actual and potential injury level of all our leading and lagging indicators. With the utilization of incident management software, our process has streamlined incident resolution work-flows, and has brought our trending ability of incident elements to a “real time” environment. Capturing this vital information allows everyone in the organization to see the incident mitigation processes with more clarity. The use of this process has given us an added advantage of identifying current and future incidents that fall into the same classification and/or severity level. Our incident management software simultaneously captures leading indicators such as HER0 Observations, Good Catch and Near Miss reporting, Audits, and Inspections, which offers an opportunity to proactively predict safety trends and change undesired behaviors or conditions before negative consequences arise. This process also helps to prevent incidents by identifying and analyzing root cause patterns and incident resolution bottlenecks that should be optimized. A complementary benefit of the application is its ability to subscribe to organization- wide reporting standards that allow multi-site stakeholders to see incident compositions across their job sites, reinforcing the corporate commitment to HSE goals.

January: Bsafe Recommitment 10 Year Anniversary Bsafe is not just a word, coined phrase, nor is it generic. Bsafe is unique and is representative of all we do, who we are, and what we believe. Re-enforcing that sustaining a culture focusing on respect and caring is vital in achieving an injury and incident free work environment. Employees are joined by Operational and Executive leadership to begin the year with a recommitment to the Bsafe culture. This is a month- long emphasis where Leadership participates in the on-site recommitment to the Bsafe culture. Discussion Topics: - On-site recommitment to the Bsafe culture - Leadership participation at every site - Bsafe Rules for Life February: Hazard Recognition Hazard identification is a fundamental element of managing risks in the workplace. When it comes to safety at work, it’s entirely possible to identify hazards and fix them before something bad happens. During this month we will focus on how to identify hazards and how to mitigate hazards when found. Discussion Topics - Library JSAs (L-JSA) - Safety Hazard Analysis Review Plan (SHARP) Cards - Critical Hazard Action Plans (C-HAP) - PAUSE + MORE March: Protect Your Hands Hands and fingers are critical for our work and quality of life. They are exposed to potential injury perhaps more than any other part of the body simply because they are used so often. The Protect Your Hands Emphasis will emphasize and heighten awareness of the potential for injury and what can be done to mitigate those hazards. Each employee has a conscious opportunity to take necessary precautions in preventing any present or potential hazards. Discussion Topics: - General Hand Safety: Gloves, Pinch Points, Cuts, & Punctures - Material Handling, Line of Fire, & Guarding April: Preventing Workplace Violence Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site. It can affect and involve employees, clients, customers, and visitors. Workplace violence or harassment negatively affects workers and the work environment.

August: Walking/Working Surfaces Slips, trips, and falls are second only to motor vehicles in the number of fatalities within North America. Statistics show that the majority of falls happen on the same level resulting from slips and trips. To reduce injuries from same level falls, we examine hazards and proven mitigation steps for falls due to slips, trips, housekeeping, stairs, ladders, changes in elevation, and other less than ideal walking surfaces. Discussion Topics: - Slips, Trips & Housekeeping - Stairs & Ladders - Changes in Elevation July: Driving Safety The best way to reduce the risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident is to practice safe driving behavior. This emphasis will introduce some basic rules that can establish safe driving behaviors, helping ensure everyone goes home safely. Whether you’re learning to drive or have been behind the wheel for decades, this emphasis introduces the driver to some basic rules that can establish behaviors for driving safely. Discussion Topics: - Fleet Vehicle Safety & Vehicle Types - Vehicle Inspections & Emergency Equipment - Driving Behavior & Distractions May: Working At Heights Because our work regularly requires us to work on elevated surfaces, fall prevention and protection must always be a priority for each of us. The Working at Heights Emphasis is a four-week discussion on actions that prevent accidents at heights. The objective is to prevent falls by improving employee identification and mitigation of fall exposures. During the month, Brock will complete daily discussions at all locations focused on fall hazards at the job site. Discussion Topics: - The Anatomy of a Fall & 100% Fall Protection - Avoiding Swing Falls, Anchorage, Body Support, Connection, & Descent - Horizontal & Vertical Lifeline Use/Requirements - Falls from Ladders, Scaffold & Avoiding Self-Set Traps June: Beat The Heat Thousands of employees become sick each year and many die from working in the heat. Labor-intensive activities in hot weather can raise body temperatures beyond the level that normally can be cooled by sweating. Knowing how to work safely in hot weather can help prevent heat stress injuries and heat stroke, which is the most serious heat-related disorder. Being informed and taking preventive action is the best defense against having to deal with hot weather conditions. Discussion Topics: - Hydration - Becoming Acclimated & Work / Rest Schedule - Heat Emergencies
