Other physical hazards that could be encountered with these works are falls, splashes of <br /> fluids, utility lines, and heat exposure. Personnel must be aware of on-site sources for <br /> falls produced by equipment and terrain, and perform their tasks with care for these <br /> conditions. Personnel can protect themselves from splashes and spills of fluids by <br /> wearing chemically resistant gloves, coveralls, and goggles. <br /> Both above and below ground utility lines pose safety hazards to personnel and <br /> equipment. All equipment utilizing masts or booms must maintain at least ten(10) feet <br /> of clearance from overhead lines. The presence of any buried utility lines at locales, both <br /> on- and off-site for drilling, must be identified prior to commencing work. Off-site <br /> buried lines can be found via Underground Service Alert at 811. The client must provide <br /> all information, and assume the responsibility, for clearing on-site work locales of buried <br /> lines. <br /> Heat stress is generally not a predominant hazard during tasks of the site assessment. <br /> Means to reduce discomfort of heat stress are; increase fluid intake; take formal and <br /> prolonged rest periods; during hot weather, perform tasks in the cool of mornings and <br /> evenings; and provide shade and increase ventilation for the work and break areas. <br /> Do not hoist two or more separately rigged loads, (Tandem or Christmas tree lifting), <br /> regardless of weight. Never allow any worker to stand under a moving load. There are <br /> NO EXCEPTIONS. <br /> SITE SECURITY AND ENTRY <br /> Tait Environmental Services will have the overall responsibility of the site security <br /> during all periods of on going site activities. Access to the site for field personnel and <br /> visitors will be controlled by the SSHO. <br /> Prior to starting, a safety meeting will be conducted to discuss health and safety issues, <br /> and the necessary protective equipment required for the site activities. The SSHO or <br /> Field Supervisor will conduct these meetings. <br /> WORK ZONES <br /> The SSHO will designate the area surrounding the UST's into an Exclusion Zone, <br /> Decontamination Zone, or Support Zone. <br /> EXCLUSION ZONE: <br /> The Exclusion Zone is the innermost of three concentric areas, and is the zone where <br /> contamination is known to or could occur. All personnel entering the Exclusion Zone <br /> will wear the prescribed level of protection for the specific site. Checkpoint for entry and <br /> exit will be established at the periphery of the zone to regulate the flow of personnel and <br /> equipment into and out of the zone, and to verify that established entry and exit <br /> E _ - ,i <br />
