sb proper site management and control of the work area by the Project Superintendent. Since slips, trips and falls constitute one of the most common safety hazards on construction related sites, workers can prevent injuries by looking out for the following potential hazards: - Uneven terrain; Precariously positioned objects, such as broken glass, sharp metal objects or construction related equipment; Wearing personal protective eQuipment; 4- Use of heavy equipment; 2.4.4 Underground and Overhead Utilities Reasonable efforts will be made to identify the location(s) of underground utilities (e.g., pipes, electrical conductors, fuel lines, and water and sewer lines) before mechanized soil intrusive work is performed. The state underground utility notification authority (e.g., USA, Dig Alert, Blue Stake) will be contacted prior to the start of intrusive field activities in accordance with local notification requirements. In areas not evaluated by the underground utility notification authority, and where a reasonable potential for underground utilities exists, one or more of the following techniques will be employed to determine the location of subsurface structures: _L contracting the services of a Qualified private utility locator - conducting a survey of the subject area by staff trained in the use of subsurface utility locating equipment subsurface testing (i.e., potholing) to the expected depth of probable utilities (not less than 5 feet) If utilities cannot be located or if unlocated utilities are suspected to be present, subsurface activities (i.e., borings, excavation) should not be conducted prior to confirming the location(s) or absence of underground utilities. In addition, equipment with articulated upright booms or masts shall not be permitted to pass within 20 feet of an overhead utility line (less than 50 kV) while the boom is in the upright position. 2.4.5 Personal Protective Equipment Some safety hazards are a function of the work itself. Personal protective equipment (PPE} can impair a worker's agility, hearing and vision, which can result in an increased risk of an accident. Site personnel should constantly look out for potential safety hazards, and should immediately inform the SSO of any new hazards so that mitigative action can be taken. In addition, onsite personnel must wear safety vests and maintain line of sight with equipment operators at all times.
