0 0 <br /> Drill Site Selection and Preparation <br /> The Project Geologist/Site Manager and the drilling subcontractor representative will inspect the <br /> Site to ensure adequate grade, soil stability clearance from ledger, buildings and room for <br /> maneuvering the drill rig. The drill site shall be cleared of brush and debris. <br /> Drill Rig Movement <br /> The proposed route for the drill rig movement will be inspected for adequate clearance and tip <br /> over hazards. Movement of the drill rig will only be conducted with the mast down and in <br /> traveling position. The drilling subcontractor shall ensure that the path of travel is a safe distance <br /> from overhead power lines. <br /> Drilling Safe Work Practices <br /> The following drilling safe work practices will be followed: <br /> • Always be alert; <br /> • Do not operate a drill rig from a position where it is difficult to reach control levels; <br /> • Avoid placing hands near any pinch or crushing points; <br /> • Do not place hands near revolving drill; stop drilling and use shovel if soil cuttings <br /> need to be examined; <br /> • Do not be positioned where you can be struck or lose balance if the drill rig <br /> heaves; <br /> • Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving machinery; <br /> • Maintain good housekeeping practices around the drill rig, keeping tools, augers <br /> and drill cuttings out of walking areas; and, <br /> • Fill, cover or guard boreholes following drilling operations. <br /> 3.1.4 Noise <br /> The use of drilling and other motorized equipment (as well as hand-held power tools) on this <br /> project pose a potential for exposure to noise levels above the levels considered safe by OSHA. <br /> The noise level will be monitored during the field investigation as described in Section 4.3. If <br /> deemed necessary based on the monitoring results, hearing protection such as use of ear plugs <br /> will be required for the Site personnel working in the work zone. <br /> 3.1.5 Heat Stress <br /> One of the possible hazards associated with this project is heat stress, the unpotentiated <br /> accumulation of the body's burden of heat leading to an extremely dangerous rise in body core <br /> temperature. Climatic conditions generate high ambient environmental temperatures exceeding <br /> ENVY,. 6 February 2005 <br /> A M E R I C A P:\PG&E\PGE-05-01 Stockton MW26R Investigation\MW26 Work Plan\H&S\H&S Plan-2005.doc <br />
