Do not place equipment on the ground. Do not sit or kneel on potentially contaminated surfaces. • Smoking, eating, or drinking after entering the work zone and before personal decontamination is not allowed. Employees who are suspected of being under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol will be removed from the site. Workers taking prescribed medication that may cause drowsiness shall not operate heavy equipment and are prohibited from performing tasks where Level C or B PPE is required. • Practice good housekeeping. • Use of contact lenses is not allowed under certain hazardous working conditions. • The following conditions must be observed when operating a motor vehicle: o Wearing of seat belts is mandatory. o The use of headlights is mandatory during periods of rain, fog, or other adverse weather or low-light conditions. o A backup warning system or use of vehicle horn is mandatory when the vehicle is engaged in a backward motion. o Posted traffic signs and directions from flagmen must be observed. o Equipment and/or samples transported in vehicles must be secured from movement. o The use of vehicles acquired by Geosyntec by non-Geosyntec personnel is prohibited. • In an unknown situation, always assume the worst reasonable conditions. • Be observant of your immediate surroundings and the surroundings of others.
