L � <br /> Physical Injury 1. Wear hard hats and safety glasses when on site. <br /> 2. Maintain visual contact with the equipment operator and wear orange safety <br /> vest or equivalent when heavy equipment is used on site. <br /> 3. Prevent slips, trips and falls; keep work area uncluttered. <br /> 4. Keep your hands away from moving parts (i.e. augers). <br /> 5. Stand out of reach of cables under tension,backhoe buckets, eta <br /> Back Injury 1_ Use a mechanical lifting device or a lifting aid if possible. Wear back <br /> support belt cinched snugly. <br /> 2. If you must lift, plan the lift before doing it. <br /> 3. Check your route for clearance. <br /> 4. Bend at the knees and use leg muscles when lifting. <br /> 5. Use the buddy system when lifting heavy or awkward objects. <br /> 6. Do not twist your body while lif3in . <br /> Heat Stress 1. Increase water intake while working. <br /> 2. Increase number of rest breaks; work in shorter shifts. <br /> 3. Watch for signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and fatigue. <br /> 4. Plan work for early morning or evening during hot months. <br /> 5. Rest in cool,dry areas. <br /> Cold Stress 1. Take breaks in heated shelters when working in extremely cold temperatures. <br /> 2. Remove the outer layer of clothing and loosen other layers to promote <br /> evaporation of perspiration,upon entering the shelter. <br /> 3. Drink warm liquids to reduce the susceptibility to cold stress. <br /> High Crime Areas 1. Be aware of surroundings. <br /> 2. Use the buddy system. <br /> 3.

Conduct periodic air monitoring for the presence of flammable vapors <br /> 5. Isolate and label flammable and combustible materials. <br /> 3.0 AIR MONITORING <br /> 3.1 Air Monitoring <br /> Air monitoring must be performed on sites as required, in accordance with Applied Faith Sciences, Inc. Respiratory <br /> Protection Program. Organic vapor concentrations are monitored in the field with a flame ionization detector(FID)or <br /> photoionisation detector(PID). All readings are taken in the workers'breathing zone to determine whether an action level <br /> has been met and/or exceeded. Air monitoring results must be documented. <br /> Air monitoring action levels ('fable 3-1)have been developed to indicate the chemical concentrations in the breathing zone <br /> 4 <br />
