on a Keystone job site has read the Employee/Contractor Policies & Safety Handbook

The Field Test
All subcontractors looking to work with Keystone Excavating are required to demonstrate their skills and
knowledge before entering a working relationship.
During the Field Test, Keystone will arrange for your equipment and operator to work on an active job site
(example: residential backfill). The Field Test will last a minimum of 30 minutes (depending on the machine
and scope of work) and during that time Keystone supervisor/superintendents will watch and evaluate you or
your team’s skill and ability. Keystone will NOT pay you for your time during a Field Test.
The expectations:
- Your equipment and operator to arrive to site on time and ready for instruction
- PPE will be required on site for all operators (Hard hat, high visibility vest and steel toes boots)
During the Field Test Keystone is looking to assess your abilities to determine if you or your team can handle
the scopes of work required as well as deliver the quality expected.
Our supervisor/superintendents will give your operators small tasks to complete to assess skill levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
A:
What happens when a subcontractor has an “incident” on site?
The subcontractor is responsible for any damages and back charges that they are involved in. If we know
about the damage early we can talk to the customer to allow you to fix it yourself. If we don’t know
about it and the customer sends Keystone a back charge and you are determined to be the responsible
party your next cheque will have the back charge deducted.
Q:
We take damage prevention seriously and that is why we require site inspections and hazard
assessments to be completed before we begin work.
Any preexisting damage needs to be noted on your paperwork and whenever possible a picture should
be taken and emailed to the supervisor/superintendent.
A:
Q.
A.
What happens with poor weather days?
You will call the supervisor/superintendent you are booked with BEFORE you arrive on site. He will
determine whether or not the site conditions allow work. You will NOT be paid for a “Call Out” (just
showing up if whether is questionable). Always check with the supervisor/superintendent if conditions
are questionable.
Q.
A.
When can I charge for Travel Time?
Traveling to and from the job at the beginning and end of the day is NOT chargeable. Traveling between
jobs throughout the day IS chargeable at your machines standard “working rate” to the job you are
traveling to.
Q.
A.
How am I scheduled for work?
The supervisor/superintendent that has work for you will call you in advance to confirm your availability.
If you can come out he will give you the necessary instructions for tomorrow.

A.
