1.0 Introduction The policy of Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC (APTIM) is to provide a safe and healthful work environment for all employees. APTIM considers' no phase of operations or administration to be of greater importance than injury and illness prevention. Safety takes precedence over expediency and shortcuts. APTIM believes that all accidents and injuries are preventable. APTIM will take every reasonable step to reduce the possibility of injury, illness, or accident. This Health and Safety Plan's (HASP) objective is to help establish safe working conditions at the site. Safety procedures and protective equipment are chosen according to potential hazards. Specific hazard control methods have been evaluated and selected to minimize the potential of accident or injury. This HASP prescribes the procedures that must be followed during specific site activities. Operational changes that could affect the health and safety of personnel, the community, or the environment will not be made without the prior approval of the Project Manager (PM) and the Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Manager(HSM). The provisions of this plan are mandatory for all personnel and subcontractors assigned to the project. All visitors to the work site must abide by the requirements of this plan. All project participants will attend a pre-job briefing where the contents of this HASP and the Activity Hazard Analysis (Appendix B) will be discussed. Project staff assigned to this project must sign the HASP Agreement and Acknowledgement Sheet (below) to confirm that they understand and agree to abide by the provisions of this plan. Daily, the Site Supervisor (SS) or designee will need to complete a Tailgate Safety Meeting Form (Appendix A) and a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Form (Appendix A) and ensure all personnel working on site sign both forms. All work will comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standard, "Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response" (29 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1910.120), APTIM Health and Safety Procedures, client requirements, and other federal, state, and local procedures that require the development and implementation of a HASP. Generation of this document certifies that the workplace has been evaluated for hazards. A hazard assessment has been performed and the adequacy of the personal protective equipment (PPE) selected was evaluated as required by 29 CFR 1910.132(d), 1910.134, 1926.25, and 1926.55, and is duly noted by the signature(s) and date appearing on the cover page of this document. 1-1
