Important Notice: As we work towards implementing our Environmental Management System (ISO14001:2015 certification) a new mandatory training module has been created to support our certification – Supplemental Training: Environmental Management System Awareness Orientation – Course ID – 117”. This module is required to be completed along with your Tier and CAR training.

CAR Training QuestionnaireBegin Questionnaire

To determine what CARs you need to complete, please answer the questions within our questionnaire to the best of your ability.

CAR04: Lockout/Tagout and No Power Orientation

Do you perform maintenance activities or services where procedures are required for isolation and lockout / tagout of energy sources that ensure the control of potential release of hazardous energy?

Please Note: Maintenance activities and services involving processes and equipment where procedures are required for isolation and lockout / tagout of energy sources that ensure the control of potential release of hazardous energy.

this RAC do not apply to:

  • Activities in machinery, equipment and installations where safeguards ensure effective protection of workers from exposure to hazardous energies created by an unexpected energy release and workers do not expose any part of the body to the danger zones associated with the operation of machinery, equipment or installations.
  • Equipment which can be de-energized by unplugging from an electrical outlet, when the person doing service or maintenance has exclusive control of the plug (working alone) and the electricity is the only energy source present.

CAR05: Lifting of Loads Orientation

Do you perform activities associated with lifting of loads using the following types of lifting equipment: cranes, overhead cranes, monorail lifting systems, lifting booms, mobile cranes, hoist and any other lifting equipment or lifting system?

Please Note: Activities associated with the lifting of load by equipment owned, leased or rented by Vale, including service provider lifting equipment that are part of a contract scope with Vale, from the following types of lifting equipment: cranes, overhead cranes, monorail lifting systems, lifting booms, mobile cranes, hoist and any other lifting equipment or lifting system11. It is understood in the scope of the activity of lifting the preparation and modifications made to the equipment and the load to be lifted.

this RAC do not apply to:

  • Load transport activities by vehicles or equipment; Example: transport by trucks, trailers, forklifts, etc.
  • During the maintenance12 of load lifting equipment while not in use for lifting, except when, in the maintenance activity there is load lifting;
  • Operation of vehicles designed for lifting loads without being in the lifting activity;
  • People lifting activity

CAR06: Confined Spaces Orientation

Will you be attending, accessing, performing work, or supervising work in a Confined Space?

CAR07: Machine Guarding Orientation

Will you be performing work in/on any of the following listed below?
