Safety and Health Plan Sandhu Property Tracy, California October 22, 2021 Terracon Project No. NA217074 24 Some inadequate traffic control measures that have led to worksite traffic accidents include: §Inadequate advance warning §Inadequate and inappropriate signs and messages §Confusing messages §Inadequate guidance through the work zone §Conflicting pavement markings §Unprotected hazard such as shoulder drop offs Whenever project sites under Terracon control will disrupt vehicle traffic or expose Terracon personnel to the hazards of vehicle traffic, (i.e., work on an active roadway, including shoulders) adequate traffic control measures must be implemented. Terracon’s preferred method for implementing traffic control is to request that clients assume this responsibility. Where clients refuse to assume responsibility, Terracon will attempt to sub- contract the service to a reputable traffic control firm. Terracon personnel with no training or experience in traffic flagging or the placement of traffic control devices such as signs, barricades or flashers are prohibited from engaging in traffic control operations unless directed by a trained and experienced individual. Project-Specific Traffic Control Requirements The Project Manager will be primarily responsible for assuring that traffic control measures utilized on the various compressor station project sites (where applicable) are in accordance with Department of Transportation requirements. All Terracon personnel working within 10 feet of an active roadway will wear ANSI Class III traffic safety vests as the outermost garment. All Terracon field personnel will participate in site traffic control briefings with affected field representatives where requested. 19.0 MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY Vehicles must be periodically inspected in accordance with Terracon motor vehicle operations policies. Any vehicle found to be unsafe shall not be operated and shall be removed from service until it can be repaired or serviced and rendered safe. Driving at the maximum posted speed limit can be too fast for safety in some situations. Drivers shall use good judgment and proceed at a speed suitable for the conditions of the vehicle, road, traffic, and weather. Vehicles are not to be moved until all passengers are properly seated inside the vehicle. All operators and passengers must use seat belts and shoulder harnesses, if the vehicle is so equipped. Before driving, all windows should be cleared of any materials such as frost, mud, or dew that
