' SHARP Management Manual Former Tracy MGP Project Safety Plan (PSP) 6.3 ACTIVITY HAZARDS ANALYSIS Parsons and its subcontractors are required to conduct an activity hazards analysis for all aspects of the work. The activity hazards analyses consist of the following three steps: • Identify the task and break it down into steps. • Identify the hazards associated with each step. • Identify the specific hazard control measure used for each step in accordance with the order-of-precedence method of control. The US Army Corps of Engineers website www.swl.usace.g=.mil/safety/asaindex.htmi contains a library of sample AHAs that may be useful on projects. The Parsons PWeb should also be checked for AHAs. The Project Managers may use the following list as a guide in determining the investigation and remediation activity hazards analyses for various high-hazard operations and critical tasks. • Confined Spaces. Confined space work requires special consideration, evaluation, controls and applicable training for the entrant, attendant, supervisor and rescue personnel. Each space should be reviewed for regulatory compliance. • Crane Operations. Consider special requirements for operations, maintenance, and heavy lifting operation. All lifts must be planned in accordance with the limitations of cranes being used. Critical lift plans are required when two cranes are used simultaneously. Crane operator certification is required when the boom length exceeds 100 feet. • Fall Protection. Fall protection is required when employees are working more than six (6) feet above the normal work surface level. Consider how and where ladders, scaffold, work platforms, or lifts(including scissors or aerial lifts),roofing work and leading edges are used. Evaluate protective measures such as fall protection plans, use of personal fall arrest systems, and the work surfaces for slip and fall hazards and protection. • Field Activities. Many different types of activities occur in the field from excavations, groundwater sampling, soil sampling, liner installation, well installation and monitoring, and pump tests. A variety of hazards could be incurred with each activity such as biological,slip/trips/falls and lacerations. An activity hazard analysis is required for each different field activity to identify the hazards and controls. • Field Visit. When a field visit occurs, it may be before any field activities are taking place. However, there may still be hazards present such as walking or driving in fields with uneven terrain, poisonous vegetation, etc. Although personal protective equipment such as a hard hat and safety glasses may not be needed, sturdy work boots, long pants, long sleeve shirts and sunscreen may be necessary. Level D PPE is required on both of these sites this includes: • work shirt and long pants • ANSI-approved steel-toed boots or safety shoes • ANSI-approved safety glasses 26
