All personnel operating the heavy equipment must be very familiar with the equipment's <br /> operating procedures and the safety precautions to be taken. They must know how to shut the <br /> equipment off in case of an emergency. <br /> Noise levels for heavy equipment operators may be expected to exceed 85 decibels on the A- <br /> weighted scale. Therefore, heavy equipment operators will wear disposable earplugs or <br /> earmuffs with a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of at least 25 decibels. A hearing <br /> conservation program, in conformance with OSHA requirements, will be in effect throughout <br /> the duration of the project. <br /> Care will be used when moving excavated soil to avoid creating dust. An air purifying <br /> respirator may be required while performing any operation where sufficient dust may be <br /> generated. <br /> The Project Manager shall investigate all excavation areas for gas and power lines before <br /> digging. This includes contacting the Underground Service Alen organization at <br /> (800) 642-2444. No excavation will occur in any area where such lines are found. <br /> page 9 <br />
