Health and Safety Plan 705 Carlton Avenue, Stockton, CA EFI Global Project No. 9836003958 Isolate the equipment; Apply lockout devices or warning tags; and Release stored energy to achieve a "zero energy state". In the event that a rescue from electrical equipment is required, use the following precautions: Disconnect the circuit before attempting the rescue; Make sure you are standing on a dry surface; Use a dry belt, rope, coat, or ot her nonconductive material to loo p over t he victim and drag them away from the contact; Assess the condition of the victim; do not approach if they are still in contact with the circuit; and Apply first aid and/or CPR (if you are qualified) and get medical help by dialing 911. 8.5 UNDERGROUND AND OVERHEAD UTILITY HAZARDS Prior to the start of any activities that require digging (i.e., dr illing, excavation, etc.), the site will be inspected for potential hazards. This vi suaI site survey will include an inspection for (1) overhead hazards and access constraints, and (2) any underground utiliti es or hazards that are identifiable by means of pavement cuts, drains, etc. In addition, utility maps and survey results from previous work, if available, will be reviewed to identify hazards. As required by California law, if subsurface work is required, the proposed work area will be clearly marked in white paint, and DigAlert will be notified at least 48 hours before the start of field activities so that the owners of subsurface uti lities can mark the locati ons of buried lines they have in the work area. If appropriate, a geophy sical services subcontractor will al so be hired to determine the presence and locations of underground utilities. Information gathered dur ing t he site inspection and geophysical survey will be used, along with the locations of owner-marked subsurfa ce utilities, to determine final boring/ex cavation locations. In addition, for exploratory soil borings, a hand auger or post-hole digger will be used to advance each borehole the first 5 feet to confirm the absence of subsurface structures prior to drilling, if necessary. With respect to overhead utility lines, drilling shall not be performed within 20 feet of an overhead power line. Overhead electrical lines shall be treated as if th ey are energized, and wind speed and direction will be noted so that equipm ent can be positioned to preve nt overhead utility lines from contacting equipm ent. If lateral and/or vertical clearance is questionable, a spotter shall monitor and provide guidance when a drilling mast is being raised in the vicinity of overhead utilities. 8.6 TRAFFIC HAZARDS When work is perfor med in high-traffic ar eas, such as roadway s or parking lots, traffic p atterns will b e observed prior to work, and a safe zone will be establishe d by delineating the work area with orange traffic cones or other indicators. These delineators will be set to caution drivers and prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering the work zone. In addition, site pers onnel will wear high-visibility safety vests and use care when exiting the work area and entering traffic. In pedestrian areas, caution tape will be used to de lineate the work zone and prevent unauthorized persons from entering the area. Workers and members of the public will be encouraged to use sidewalks whenever possible. If necessary , alternative walkway s outside of the work area will be established using cones and caution tape, or signs wil 1 be placed t o direct foot traffic to al ternative wal kways outside of the wor k zone.
