CHOW ENGINEERING, INC. Rev. 6, 8-8-14 4.2 Physical Hazards The nature of the work will include utilization of mechanical equipment as well as physical labor at the project site. Hazards will include common slips, trips and falls, as well as awareness requirements common to the operation of mechanical equipment. The work will potentially involve the use of the following equipment: Hollow-stem auger drill rig Equipment including Watera pump and portable generator. Each of the operations utilizing the above described equipment represents the potential for physical injury. Employees and subcontractors will remain alert when performing any physical activity on site and will employ the "Buddy System" at all times. Only those personnel who have been trained and are familiar with the operation of the equipment to be used on site will be allowed to operate this equipment. Supervisory personnel will ensure all safety measures are implemented. All general site operations will be further guided by the provisions of CE SOP #H&S 002— "Safe Work Practices", hereby incorporated by reference into this document. As a requirement on all projects, CE personnel will bring to the work site, an industrial first aid kit and sufficient fire extinguishers, commensurate with the work being performed, to effectively provide an adequate first response. On site utilities shall be marked in accordance with current and applicable regulatory requirements. Equipment operators, site supervisor, and subcontractors must physically view the utility locations BEFORE any stages of demolition/excavation work begins. If at any time during the work, CE personnel have any safety concerns about the work, they have the authority to stop work until safety concerns are alleviated and all safety measures fully implemented. There are no confined spaces in at the SWMU #21 site. 4.3 Other Hazards HEAT & COLD STRESS: The physical effects of heat & cold stress can be very hazardous & physically debilitating. Review carefully CE's Procedure on Heat Stress and on Cold Stress as applicable to the weather conditions and type of work being performed. BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS: There is the potential exposure to biological hazards from wildlife at the site. SWMU #21 is in an area with parking and pallet storage so there is low potential for snakes and spiders to be in shaded areas. The monitoring wells are located in parking and driveway access areas which minimizes exposure to biological hazards. 4
