Site Safety and Health Plan SECTION 1 PURPOSE AND POLICY 1.1 Introduction This Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) establishes personnel protection standards and mandatory safety practices and procedures for field activities. The SSHP assigns responsibilities, establishes standard operating procedures, and provides for contingencies that may arise during site activities. It is the objective of this plan to establish procedures that will ensure Incident Free Operation(IFO)during field activities. All site personnel shall use this SSHP as the primary source of information on site safety and health matters. This SSHP will be kept on site during field activities. The Site Safety and Health (SSH) Officer will conduct a pre-mobilization briefing on the contents of this SSHP for all site personnel involved in the covered activities. All such personnel must sign the Plan Acceptance Form in Appendix A acknowledging that they have attended the pre-mobilization meeting, and have read and understood this SSHP and will abide by its contents. The SSH Officer or designee will conduct daily "tailgate" site safety and health meetings to discuss work to be performed that day and the potential hazards that will be monitored during the work. The Daily Field Safety Form in Appendix A will be completed and signed by all personnel after the "tailgate" meeting and before commencing the day's activities. The Field Team Leader or the SSH Officer will maintain a copy of the form and transmit it to the Project SSH Officer at the end of each day. 1.2 Regulatory Framework This plan and all site activities will be in compliance with the requirements of the California and Federal Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standards (29 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1910.120) and Title 8 California Code of Regulations [CCR] 5192. 1.3 Modifications to the SSHP Although the SSHP focuses on the specific site conditions described here, it must remain flexible because conditions may change and unforeseen situations may arise that require deviations from the original plan. This flexibility allows modification of the SSHP by the Project or Site Manager,Field Team Leader, and SSH Officer to take into account changing site conditions such as new data on chemical hazards, weather, and modifications to the scope of work. Recognizing that construction activities at the site may be long-term and may consist of many different field tasks, this SSHP has been organized in a manner that will easily idents the current ongoing work being conducted. Addendums to the SSHP, as needed, will be clearly displayed in Appendix E. Changes to the SSHP must be approved by the SSH Officer and the Project or Site Manager. If unanticipated field conditions are encountered on site that are not addressed in this SSHP, these conditions Incident Free Operation Page 10 of 68
