TC Energy Safety Handbook1.0IntroductionThe purpose of this Safety Handbook is to provide all personnel, including TC Energypersonnel, contractors and subcontractors, under TC Energy control/direction,with the basic safety principles and health and safety requirements that apply atTC Energy managed facilities, work locations and project sites. This handbook is not forPrime/General Contractor use.TC Energy is committed to maintaining safe, healthy and environmentally friendlyconditions for all personnel and the general public. To achieve this TC Energy mandatesspecific work practices, policies, programs and procedures that meet or exceed allapplicable regulatory requirements related to health and safety.TC Energy is committed to the principle of “All Occupational Injuries and Illnesses arePreventable.” We believe that excellence in health and safety practices is an essentialpart of our business and that incident prevention is the responsibility of everyoneworking for TC Energy.No job is so urgent that it cannot be done safely. Unsafe conditions and/or work practicesare never acceptable and must be resolved before work can safely continue.While this Safety Handbook contains rules and safe work practices for many commonwork situations, it should not be considered all encompassing. Contact your supervisorand/or a TC Energy Authorized Representative for advice and information if there isany uncertainty about a safe work practice or if a potentially unsafe working conditionarises. When a situation arises where there are no relevant guidelines, all individualsremain responsible for ensuring the work is conducted with due regard to safety.Information concerning safe practices is also available in various TC Energy OperatingPolicies and Procedures.42020 Edition
TC Energy Safety HandbookTC Energy’s Life Saving RulesTC Energy’s Life Saving Rules guide the way we work and help us hold each otheraccountable to the highest possible safety standards, including all TC Energy policies andsafety procedures. The Life Saving Rules were developed to highlight the high-risk activitiesthat are part of the work we do every day and emphasize the importance of followingthe risk control measures we have in place to manage them. Adherence to the Life SavingRules is not optional and is a condition of conducting business with TC Energy. Personnelknowingly violating a Life Saving Rule will be subject to disciplinary action up to andincluding termination of employment or removal from TC Energy worksites.TC Energy’s Life Saving Rules are as follows:1. We will drive safely and without distraction.2. We will use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.3. We will conduct a pre Job Safety Analysis (JSA).4. We will work with a valid work permit when required.5. We will obtain authorization before entering a confined space.6. We will verify isolation before work begins.7. We will protect ourselves against a fall when working at heights.8. We will follow prescribed lift plans and techniques.9. We will control excavations and ground disturbances.2020 Edition5
TC Energy Safety Handbook2.0TC Energy’s safety behaviorsAt TC Energy, we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for allemployees, contractors and visitors. We believe all incidents are preventable and weconsistently work towards continuous improvement of our safety performance.The following safety behaviors contribute towards achievement of this commitment: Take personal ownership of your safety and look out for others. Ensure you are properly trained before starting work. Understand your limitations. Know the health and safety information relevant to your work. Identify and minimize safety risks. Comply with all applicable laws, regulations and company safety policies and procedures. Exercise your right and responsibil

HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL HANDBOOK 2012 Edition This handbook applies to all DTC Energy Group, Inc. personnel and will be referred to as the DTC Energy Group or DTC Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Handbook. This handbook serves as a reference for minimum rules and standards at DTC Energy Group operations and facilities.
on work, power and energy]. (iv)Different types of energy (e.g., chemical energy, Mechanical energy, heat energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, sound energy, light energy). Mechanical energy: potential energy U mgh (derivation included ) gravitational PE, examples; kinetic energy
Forms of energy include radiant energy from the sun, chemical energy from the food you eat, and electrical energy from the outlets in your home. All these forms of energy may be used or stored. Energy that is stored is called potential energy. Energy that is being used for motion is called kinetic energy. All types of energy are measured in joules.

We can get that energy back as kinetic E if the ball falls back off. During falling, Kinetic Energy will increase mg h. Potential energy will reduce mg h.
Energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Pair up and list as many forms of energy as you can. Electrical. Chemical. Nuclear. Magnetic. Elastic. Sound. Gravitational energy. Kinetic energy (energy of motion). Thermal energy (heat energy). Potential energy. Potential energy

The Law of Conservation of Energy The total energy in the universe is the sum of all the different forms of energy everywhere. According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can be transformed from one
