Health and Safety Plan 455 E lith St Tracy,California measuring devices will be utilized to detect any presence of harmful or dangerous atmospheres. Any floating or rotating machinery that are in the confined space are turned off and locked out prior to beginning any work. 3.3.7 Noise Appropriate hearing protection (ear muffs or ear plugs with a noise reduction rating of at least 20 decibels [dBA])will be used if individuals work near high-noise generating equipment (>85 dBA). Determination of the need for hearing protection will be made by the Project Leader. 3.3.8 Slips, Trips, and Falls Slips,trips, and falls are a leading cause of injury on construction and remediation worksites. Water and slime collect on horizontal surfaces and stairs, posing a potential hazard. Proper housekeeping is the key to preventing injuries of this nature.To minimize potential for injuries, the following measures will be implemented: • Site around open manholes, excavations,trenches, etc. will be kept clean and orderly • All potential trip and fall hazards will be clearly marked, modified to reduce the hazard, or engineered in a configuration to eliminate the hazard (if possible) • All floors and stair treads will be kept clean of water, oil, and polymer. • All hoses will be coiled and stored out of the way when not in use. • There will be no running on the site. As with all field work sites, caution will be exercised to prevent slips on rain slick surfaces, stepping on sharp objects, etc. Work will not be performed on elevated platforms without fall protection. Before conducting any work adjacent(such as opening, measuring water level, etc.)to an underground storage tank access area (e.g. manhole),the personnel will conduct a visual inspection of the area from the opening to identify any trip/slip hazards. Personnel, who are within 10 feet of the opening,will use full body harness and a self-retracting lifeline with fall arrestor.The fall protection system will be tied into a suitable anchor(e.g.tree,truck, etc.)that allows for work to be conducted around the underground storage tank opening.The access cover shall be completely closed and bolted to the frame (if bolts are present) prior to the fall protection system being removed. 3.3.9 Illumination Proper illumination is important in the prevention of slips,trips, and falls. It is anticipated that work will be conducted during daylight hours and not within any structures.Therefore, no additional illumination will be required. Appendices Terraphase Engineering Inc.
