Guides to Safe Work (GTSW)

Enform develops Guides to Safe Work (GTSW) in response to specific safety initiatives of the industry. A GTSW may be in booklet or brochure form, and usually focuses on a valuable and relevant safety topic that may not be appropriate as an Industry Recommended Practice (IRP).

A GTSW is intended to contribute directly to the reduction of injuries and incidents that occur among workers in the Canadian oil and gas Industry. To date, there are three GTSW - Slips, Trips and Falls (2005), Fatigue Management (2006), and Open Hole Guidelines (2006). These are available free of charge in PDF format from our website, or you may purchase a printed version from Enform.

Controlling Chemical Hazards – A Worker’s Flip Guide – is presently underdevelopment

This flip guide will assist workers on safe and correct methods of chemical handling and use.  The flip guide will include knowledge of specific responsibilities, chemical information and compliance requirements.
