Health, Safety, Regulatory and Environment

The goal of West Lake Energy Corp. (West Lake) is to have everyone working on a West Lake site return home healthy and safe at the end of their day and to conduct our business such that we don’t negatively impact worker health and safety, the environment, or the public.

To achieve our goals, we commit to:

• Complying with regulations, industry guidelines, industry best practices and West Lake standards whichever are higher,
• Providing our employees with appropriate training and resources to implement this policy,
• Requiring contractors working for West Lake to be competently trained and supervised,
• Responding promptly, responsibly, and effectively to incidents and emergencies,
• Improving our health, safety, environmental performance, and systems by measuring ourselves against internal targets as well as our peer companies, and,
• Supporting the choice of safety over operational results when they are in conflict.

By integrating West Lake’s Safety Management System into our day-to-day operations, we can achieve our health, safety, and environmental goals while also achieving our business objectives. In doing so, everyone who works for West Lake will share in the benefits of a healthy and safe workplace while enhancing West Lake’s business endeavours.

To reduce the risk to our workers, West Lake Energy is introducing STOP-THINK -ACT. This is designed to prompt workers to pause and consider the work task they are about to perform and identify risks to completing it safely.

Whether this is a task you do every day or a task you have never done before, taking a moment to; review the situation, the tools and procedures required, your ability to perform the task, will go a long way to reducing the chance of an incident occurring. Making sure you understand what is needed will help make sure you end the day safely.

STOP

Before you start a task, pause and review the steps involved. What could happen if something goes wrong? How bad could the outcome be? Are there barriers to completing the task safely?

THINK

Ask yourself if you understand what needs to be done and how it needs to be done? Do you have everything you need to complete the task properly? Am I personally ready to safely perform the task?

ACT

If necessary, get the right tools or review the procedure to make sure you know what you are doing, and the correct way to do it. Take the steps necessary to make the task safe. Do not take shortcuts.
