Traffic Control
<br />Traffic control is not anticipated to be required for this project.
<br />Adverse Weather
<br />The work area will be secured and all personnel will discontinue work at the location and withdraw from the work
<br />area in the event that adverse weather is encountered (e.g., heavy rain, lightning).
<br />Emergency Equipment
<br />A first aid kit and fire extinguisher will be located in the work vehicle in a location that is easily accessible and
<br />highly visible. The SSO will be responsible for knowing the location of and accessing the emergency equipment
<br />as needed.
<br />Hazard Assessment
<br />(E) = Applies, or required item(s) available. II] = Not Applicable.)
<br />Hazard Assessment: Physical Hazards and Related Concerns
<br />fl Confined Space Entry (CSE). Confined space entry means the potentially hazardous entry into any space which, by design, has limited
<br />openings for entry and exit and unfavorable natural ventilation that could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants and is not intended
<br />for continuous employee occupancy. Conftned spaces include, but are not limited to, storage tanks, compartments of ships, process vessels,
<br />pits, silos, vats, degreasers, reaction vessels, boilers, ventilation and exhaust ducts, sewers, tunnels, underground utility vaults, and pipelines.
<br />Other environments which must be treated as confined spaces include test pits, basements, garages, warehouses, and other indoor areas
<br />where mechanical (i.e., diesel, propane, gasoline or similarly powered) equipment must be operated for drilling or excavation purposes.
<br />Confined space entry should be allowed only when absolutely necessary.
<br />Z Construction Hazards, Drill Rigs, Backhoes, etc. The use of drill rigs, backhoes, and other heavy equipment represent potentially serious
<br />construction hazards. Whenever such equipment is used, personnel in the vicinity should be limited to those who must be there to complete
<br />their assigned duties. All personnel must avoid standing within the turning radius of the equipment or below any suspended load. Job sites
<br />must be kept as clean, orderly, and sanitary as possible. When water is used, care must be taken to avoid creating muddy or slippery
<br />conditions. If slippery conditions are unavoidable, barriers and warning signs must be used to warn of these dangers.
<br />Never turn your back to operating machinery. Never wear loose clothing jewelry, hair, or other personal items around rotating equipment
<br />or other equipment that could catch or ensnare personal items. Always stand far enough away from operating machinery to prevent
<br />accidental contact, which may result from mechanical or human error.
<br />Additionally, the following basic personal protective measures must be observed: Hardhats must be worn to protect against bumps or
<br />falling objects. Safety glasses must be worn by all workers in the vicinity of drill rigs or other sources of flying objects. Goggles, face
<br />shields, or other forms of eye protection must be worn when necessary to protect against chemicals or other hazards. Steel-toed safety
<br />shoes or boots are also required. The shoes must be chemically resistant or protected with appropriately selected boots/coverings where
<br />necessary. Unless otherwise specified, normal work clothes must be worn. Long sleeves and gloves are also required whenever necessary
<br />to protect against hazardous contact, cuts, abrasions or other possible skin hazards.
<br />Electrical. OSHA regulations require that employees who may be exposed to electrical equipment be trained to recognize the associated
<br />hazards and the appropriate control methods. All extension cords used for portable tools or other equipment must be designed for hard or
<br />extra usage and be (three-wire) grounded. All 120-volt, single-phase 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets on construction sites and other
<br />locations where moisture/water contact may occur must be equipped with ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) units. GFCI units
<br />must be attached directly to or as close as possible to the receptacle. GFCI located away from the receptacle will not protect any wiring
<br />between the receptacle and the GFCI unit. Only the wiring plugged into the GFCI and outward will be protected by the GFCI. All
<br />(temporary lighting) lamps for general illumination must be protected from accidental breakage. Metal case sockets must be grounded.
<br />Portable lighting in wet or conductive locations should be 12 volts or less.
<br />111 Drums and Buried Drums. As a precautionary measure, personnel must assume that labeled and unlabeled drums encountered during
<br />field activities contain hazardous materials until their contents can be confirmed and characterized. Personnel should recognize that drums
<br />are frequently mislabeled, particularly drums that are reused.
