APP Well Installation and Sampling at California National Guard Field Maintenance Shop Stockton, California 7.0 SAFETY AND HEALTH INSPECTIONS The SSHO, or qualified designee, will conduct informal inspections of the job site while work is proceeding. The results of these inspections will be recorded in the safety logbook. Formal safety inspections will also be conducted as necessary by the SSHO and by the PM. Inspection results will be recorded on the OTIE's work site inspection form. Copies of the inspection reports will be kept on file for review by the SHIM. Any deficiencies noted during these inspections will be recorded on a Deficiency Tracking Log which will be kept in the project files and updated daily during site activities. A responsible person will be assigned to correct each deficiency within a designated time period. These logs will be reviewed periodically by the OTIE SHM. In accordance with the EM 385-1-1 (15 Sep 2008) Section 01.A.12 Inspections (d), the Contractor shall establish a safety and occupational health deficiency tracking system that lists and monitors the status of safety and health deficiencies in chronological order. The list will be maintained by the SSHO with the APP/SSHP documents and will be updated as necessary, and provide the following information: (1) Date deficiency identified; (2) Description of deficiency; (3) Name of person responsible for correcting deficiency; (4) Projected resolution date; and (5) Date actually resolved; 7.1 INSPECTION PROTOCOL Employees at field locations have the opportunity to prepare for inspections on a daily basis. OTIE places the burden of responsibility on all employees to make their work environment safe by correcting un-safe conditions on a daily basis. 7.2 CORRECTING UNSAFE CONDITIONS All hazards discovered during an inspection or coming to the attention of OTIE must be corrected in a timely manner consistent with the seriousness of the hazard. All reasonable efforts should be made to abate recognized hazards as soon as possible and to advise employees of any uncorrected hazards. However, if there is an imminent danger of serious harm, an immediate corrective action, such as taking the piece of equipment or workstation out of service, is required. If an imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately abated without endangering people/property, then all potentially exposed personnel will be removed from the area except those necessary to correct the hazardous condition. Employees correcting the hazardous condition shall be provided with the necessary safeguards. With regard to correcting unsafe conditions, the SSHO shall ensure the safety and health of their employees/guests by: • Promptly correcting unsafe or unhealthy conditions; • Setting a target date for correcting any hazard that cannot be immediately corrected and following up to confirm the hazard abatement; • Utilizing the area inspection checklist or to track and document identified hazards and corrective measures; OTIE 16
