HEALTH & SAFETY 0 0 2007 <br /> 4.0 EXCAVATION TO TOP OF UST'S <br /> The removal of above-ground structures, equipment, and surface materials related to the UST <br /> conversion will be performed in Compliance with all State and Local Regulations. <br /> Appropriate action will be taken to avoid the spread of dust to occupied portions of the surrounding <br /> area. Water will be used for dust control in such a manner as to not result in a hazardous or <br /> objectionable condition. Compliance will be in accordance with the Air Pollution Control District <br /> governing this area. <br /> At this site with tank bury exceeding 5 feet, we will slope and bench excavation with accordance to <br /> OSHA regulations. <br /> During excavation to the top of the UST's, it is anticipated that no persons will enter an open <br /> excavation. If it is deemed necessary, appropriate measures will be taken to protect personnel when <br /> entering any excavation below five (5) feet in depth. These measures will include sloping or shoring <br /> the walls of the excavation to protect individuals from hazards associated with cave-ins per OSHA 29 <br /> CFR 1920. Trenching will comply with 8 CFR 1539 to 1547. NO INDIVIDUAL is to enter an <br /> excavation until approved to do so by the SSHO. <br /> Prior to the excavation activities, we will insure that buried gas lines, water lines, electric cables, and <br /> other under underground utilities have been located by calling Underground Service Alert (USA). The <br /> project site will remain fenced until the excavation(s) have been backfilled and is no longer a safety <br /> risk. The SSHO will insure that unauthorized persons do not enter the site, and that all personnel on- <br /> site have proof of up to date OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 Training. <br /> All personnel on-site will be required to wear Personal Protective Equipment as described in Section <br /> 7.3 of this HASP. A fire extinguisher will be placed in open view on site. <br /> UTILITIES: <br /> All related and non-related utilities above and below ground in the work area will be located by <br /> Underground Service Alert (USA), and visual search methods. If possible, the utilities directly related <br /> will be shut-off and disconnected prior to beginning the work. <br /> PAVEMENT: <br /> Concrete and asphalt will be removed by breaking it with a backhoe, bobcat, or jackhammer <br /> equipped with a pneumatic attachment, and loaded into a dump truck for proper recycling and/or <br /> disposal, or stockpiled on site for future removal. <br /> CLEAN- <br /> 11/07/2005 revision 5 4 <br />
