Observation 3 - Ground Disturbance Practice
During the inspection NEB Inspectors were told that Encana's Ground Disturbance Practice is being provided to third parties conducting ground disturbances in order to satisfy their requirement to inform the person, in writing, of safety practices to be followed while working in the vicinity of its pipes. The NEB Inspectors were also told that the Ground Disturbance Practice serves as the internal procedure for Encana's employees to use as part of their daily activities when it comes to conducting and supervising ground disturbance activities with respect to the Encana's pipelines. Upon review of the Ground Disturbance Practice, NEB Inspectors determined that the practice only discusses Encana's internal safety practices and does not provide internal staff with information in order for them to know what is and isn't considered to be a ground disturbance under federal legislation and the subsequent measures to be followed by any person engaged in an activity that causes a ground disturbance within the prescribed area.
