n Site Health and Safety Plan California Tank Lines Facility {, Sierra-Pacific Project No. 96-620.01 4 5.0 GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES it It is Sierra-Pacific's safety policy to take every reasonable precaution in the performance of work to protect the environment and the health and safety of employees and the public, and to prevent property damage. With respect to hazardous agents, this protection is provided by limiting exposures of people, releases to the environment, and contamination of property to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). i It is the intent of this H&SP to supply the broad outline for completing investigation and remediation activities within ALARA guidelines. It should be clearly understood that it may not be possible to determine actual working conditions in advance of the work. Therefore, planning must allow the opportunity to provide a range of protection based upon actual working conditions . All project work shall be performed in a manner consistent with providing a safe work environment. A list of general safety guidelines which are applicable include: • Wear appropriate protective clothing for the job, including, but not limited to hard hats, work clothing, safety boots, traffic vests, work gloves, and eye protection. • Decontaminate known sources of contamination (such as gloves and boots) at the location established for decontamination. Remove equipment only after decontamination or containerization. • Keep track of weather conditions and wind direction when working outside . • Plan activities thoroughly ahead of time : enter work sites by a designated route only to get to a designated point for a specific purpose. • Always observe the buddy system : never enter or exit alone, and never work alone in an isolated area.
