5.16 WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY <br /> Programs are overall plans that set forth the method or methods that will be followed to <br /> achieve particular health and safety objectives. For example, the Fire Protection and <br /> Prevention Program will describe what has to be done to protect against and prevent fires. <br /> This will include equipment required, such as alarm systems and firefighting equipment, <br /> and procedures to follow to protect against fires. The Emergency Action Program/Plan will <br /> describe escape procedures,rescue and medical procedures, alarm and communication <br /> systems, and response procedures for every hazardous material that can migrate, such as <br /> ammonia. The programs or plans are set forth in written documents that are usually kept at <br /> specific locations within the facility. <br /> Each program or plan will contain training requirements that are translated into detailed <br /> training courses. These courses are taught to plant construction and operating personnel, as <br /> needed. For example, all plant operating personnel will receive training in escape <br /> procedures under the Emergency Action Program/Plan,but only those working with <br /> flammables will receive training under the Fire Protection and Prevention Program. <br /> Tables 5.16-1 and 5.16-2,which list construction and operation activities and associated <br /> hazards, also show (under the"Control" column) the program designed to reduce the <br /> occurrence of each hazard. <br /> TABLE 5.16.1 <br /> Construction Hazard Analysis for the LEC <br /> Activity Hazard Control <br /> Motor vehicle and heavy Employee injury and property Motor Vehicle and Heavy Equipment <br /> equipment use damage from collisions between Safety Program <br /> people and equipment <br /> Forklift operation Same as heavy equipment Forklift Operation Program <br /> Trenching and excavation Employee injury and property Excavation/Trenching Program <br /> damage from the collapse of <br /> trenches and excavations or <br /> exposure to fumes or vapors <br /> which have collected in the <br /> trench/excavation <br /> Working at elevated locations Falls from the same level and Fall Prevention Program <br /> elevated areas Scaffolding/Ladder Safety Program <br /> Articulating Boom Platforms Program <br /> Use of cranes and derricks Property damage from falling Crane and Material Handling Program <br /> loads; employee injuries from Crane Operator certification <br /> falling loads; and injuries and <br /> property damage from contact <br /> with crane or derrick <br /> Working with flammable and Fire/spills Fire Protection and Prevention <br /> combustible liquids Program; <br /> Housekeeping and Material Handling <br /> and Storage Program <br /> 5.16-2 SAC/371322/082330005(LEC_5.16_WORKERHEALTHSAFETY.DOC) <br />
