Giant Mine Remediation Project

GMRP Health and Safety

The Main Construction Manager maintains overall H&S responsibility as the Mine Manager at the Giant Mine Site. To ensure that on-site safety plans are implemented, there is a designated MCM occupational H&S manager who organizes ongoing training and occupational H&S support for managers, supervisors and other employees and subcontractors.

In 2013, the Roaster demolition Project team (Parsons, AECOM, Golder, PSPC and CIRNAC) developed a medical monitoring framework to monitor arsenic levels in workers. This framework was accepted by the Workers’ Safety & Compensation Commission.

Monitoring includes baseline urinalysis sampling when workers start on site and then subsequent regular urinalysis sampling depending on frequency on site and activities performed (e.g., weekly samples if on-site full-time). Samples are compared against the Action Level of 35 micrograms of arsenic per litre of urine (µg/L).

The Project has monitored and reported on arsenic levels in workers since 2014-15..Specific information can be found in the GMRP Annual Report submitted to GMOB.
