%..,/ Nlw� 3.2.3 "Struck-by" Iniuries Hazard: Injuries can, and often, result when ovorkers are the unexpected receptor of contact with another kinetic mass. These occurrences typically result from the worker being struck by a dropped or collapsed mass,a moving piece of equipment, or more likely a moving vehicle. L. Controls : Engage the vehicle's warning light bar whenever planning to pull off or exit the highway. When stopped or parked, continue use of the li t bar. Employees/workers shall not exit the vehicle until they have successfully pulled off of the highway. In those instances where it is not possible to clear the shoulder or median, workers shall exi the vehicle on the side opposite the adjacent traffic ` flow; turn front wheels towards the roadway. Ceocon employees will be required to wear hard hats, safety glasses and ANSI safety vests, and place afety cones at 10-yard intervals for a minimum of 30 yards(if achievable)from the left rear corner of he vehicle so they may be seen by adjacent traffic. If shoulder and/or lane closure is required to per orm the services, it shall be provided in conformance L. with Caltrans' Standard Provisions for Maintar Piing Traffic as specified in Standard Plans T-10, T- 10A, T-ll, T-12, T-13, and T-14. `. Workers shall maintain a constant awareness of traffic patterns/conditions throughout the duration of the field services. � 3.3 Earthwork Excavation —Trenching Hazards Hazard: Cave-in hazards may be created by a i excavated area or trench. Controls: Soil excavation work will be condo ted in accordance with T8 CCR Construction Safety Orders,Article 6, §§1540, 1541,and 1541.1 Appendices A through F. The Project Manager will identify the "Comp(tent Person" responsible for excavation safety. The Competent Person will inspect the site prior tote start of work and as needed throughout the project. In addition, daily inspections of excavations, th adjacent areas, and protective systems will also be conducted for evidence of a situation that conk result in possible cave-ins, indications of failure of ` protective systems, hazardous atmospheres, or ther hazardous conditions; e.g., excavation sidewall slopes will not be steeper than 45 degrees benea i the edges of the footings of load bearing members to reduce the potential for structural distress. The Competent Person, as directed by the SSO v rill attempt to minimize cave-in hazards by restricting all entry into and around an excavation deeme I greater in depth than 5 feet, unstable and unsafe. OSHA requires that each employee in an excavation be protected from cave-ins during an excavation by an adequate protective system designed in accordance with OSHA standards. Protective system options include proper sloping or benching of the sides of the excavation; supporting the sides of the excavation with timber shoring or aluminum hydraulic shoring; or placing a shield between the side of L Linden UST S1 and Removal,Task Order No.34 Caltrans Contract 06AI895,EFIS 10-1300-0181-0 Geocon Project No.59800-0I-34 -8- October 2013,Revised September 2014 L
