 Summit
has incorporated work procedures throughout our operations based
on the Environmental Management System requirements of
our ISO 14001 certified clients. We are proud to have worked together
with mills in their quest for ISO 14001 certification, and consider
ourselves leaders in the industry.
Pre-job
Assessment
A trained employee conducts a Pre-job Assessment prior to spraying
any area. This assessment documents environmental and safety concerns
including
• Water bodies
• Road condition
• Unclear treatment unit boundaries
• Danger trees
These assessments are reviewed with the supervisor prior to work
being done and strategies are developed to deal with identified
problems.
Operation Protocols
When spraying is taking place, the following environmental procedures
are followed:
• Workers know their specific locations on a map at all
times to ensure they are working in the correct areas with the
correct application technique
• Workers know where to find a map if they are disoriented
• Workers know to 'stop and ask' if they are unsure
Post-application Block Reports
At the conclusion of our work on a job, a Job Report is completed
and submitted. Job Reports include:
• Total product applied
• Total hectares treated
• Source of the water used in the mix solution (If Applicable)
• Map all protected water bodies, riparian zones and non-treatment
areas (including environmentally sensitive areas)
• Weather monitoring report
• Operations report that outlines the daily details of
chemical uses, and hectares treated
• Ongoing herbicide inventory record
