MAJESTIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. <br /> Th eic�i*i�17, eMV 3yeea May ne exDcsad to vehicle accident <br /> hazards associated with the operation of vehicles during the <br /> project. To control these hazards, the following Safety <br /> requirements will be Strictly enforced: <br /> Seat belts shall be worn ANYTIME a vehicle is in <br /> motion. regardless of speed or distance to be <br /> travelled. Seat belt requirements also apply to the <br /> operations of backhoe and other construction equipment <br /> The basic speed law shall be followed at all times . <br /> vehicles shall be never be operated at a speed that is <br /> not safe for the conditions (i. e. , road surface, <br /> traffic, visibility, weather, etc. ) • <br /> 8. 3. 5 OREN EXCAVATION HAZARDS: <br /> A significant portion of the protect involves the <br /> uncovering. excavation. and removal of underground storage <br /> tanks and pipelines. As such, field personnel may be <br /> exposed to several serious hazards associated with <br /> excavation activities. <br /> A primary initial hazard with excavation operations is <br /> contact with underground utilities , including electrical, <br /> gas, water/sewer, and chemical pipeline. To mitigate these <br /> hazards, the Field Supervisor shall take the following <br /> action during excavation operations: <br /> Verify the exact location of each authorized excavation <br /> prior to breaking ground. <br /> Make every attempt to determine the presence or absence <br /> of any underground utilities in the region by <br /> contacting underground Services Alert, the Project <br /> Manager, and/or local utility services. <br /> ?land-dig the first two to three feet of the excavation <br /> in areas where contact with utilities is possible or <br /> unknown. <br /> Arrange for the deactivation of utilities whenever <br /> possible and appropriate for the circumstances . <br /> An additional primary hazard associated with excavations is <br /> exposure to the open, excavated area, resulting in falls <br /> and/or collapse. To mitigate this hazard, the following <br /> safety actions shall be taken: <br /> - No person shall be allowed to enter any excavation <br /> greater than five feet deep, or less than five feet <br /> deep when soil testing and conditions indicate that <br /> soils are prone to movement , This SHP does not <br /> address the entry into excay.atioss that require <br /> protection prior to entry. WARNING - If a change <br /> the scope of work necessitaes entry into <br /> excavations as described above, the SHP must be <br /> updated by contracting certified Industrial Hygienist <br />
