Health and Safety Plan 705 Carlton Avenue, Stockton, CA EFI Global Project No. 9836003958 Electric lines, piping, and other tank appurtenances shall be isolat ed or disconnected. All vent piping shall be left intact until the USTs are exposed and ready to be rem oved. Barriers and signs shall be installed where necessary, and any source of ignition shall be at least 25 feet away from the excavation. A vacuu m will be applied to the tanks before cutting to re move any corn bustible g asses fro m t he underground storage tanks (USTs). The atm osphere of the UST will be checked with a fl arne ionization detector (FID) to determine if it is safe for cutting. When conditions are safe, the tanks will be cut with non- sparking tools to allow for re moval of the UST contents with a vacuum truck. USTs are assu med to be empty. Workers will monitor the tank at mosphere before entry and degas as required by t he Los Angeles Department of Public Works (DPW). 11.8 ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS Precautions shall be taken when working with electrical equipment or in areas where electrical utilities may be present. Even low voltages will be treated as dangerous. All electrical eq uipment and tools, including insulation, fixtures, switches, plugs, fuses, etc., will be inspected before each use. Any faulty equipment will be removed from service, and the owner of the equi pment will be notified. P ersonnel with wet hands or standing in wet areas shall not work with electric al equipment. Only a qualified electrici an shall wire or install electrical systems. Lockout/tagout pr ocedures will be us ed whenever wo rking on electrical equipm ent. When em ployees perform a service that requires a lockout or tagout, they shall coordinate all activities with the operator of the equipment or facility. The following actions shall be performed to execute a lockout or tagout: Notify the appropriate site personnel. Shut down the equipment. Isolate the equipment. Apply lockout devices or warning tags. Release stored energy to achieve a "zero energy state." In the event that a rescue from electrical equipment is required, the following precautions shall be used: 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. Apply first aid and/or CPR (if you are qualified), and get medical help by dialing 911. 12.0 HEAT STRESS MONITORING This section of the HASP [ in co mpliance with 29 CFR 191 0.120(h)] describes how the site-specific environmental conditi ons (temperature, hum idity, ai r m ovement), em ployee work loads, and PPE m ay expose employees to hazards resulting in injury or illness related to heat stress. Environmental conditions will be constantly m onitored by the project manager. If conditions become a concern, work will stop until conditions are appropriate for work. Em ployee work load is considered light for this project and PPE levels are low so heat stress is not a major concern. Cold water will be on hand at all times and employees take breaks as needed for this project. EFI Global Engureerm& Fue Envirtn u nem deilSenrites Page 13 of 19
