I 'll iovativ -' <br /> onstruction <br /> 6 . 0 PERSONNEL PROTECTION <br /> Protection of personnel shall be implemented using Hierarchy of Controls . <br /> https : //www . osha . gov/SLTC/ hazardoustoxicsubstances / control . html <br /> Protection of personnel shall first be implemented by eliminating or substitution that eliminates <br /> hazard exposure before it can occur; control of hazards shall next be implemented using <br /> Engineering Controls . If said controls cannot remove a hazard , then Work Practice Controls <br /> shall be utilized to minimize the likelihood and severity of the potential for hazard exposure to <br /> workers . The least desirable method of hazard control is Personal protective equipment ( PPE ) . <br /> PPE shall be used by employees for each of the site tasks and operations being conducted as <br /> required by the PPE program found within 8 CCR § 5192 ( g ) . <br /> 6 . 1 ELIMINATION/SUBSTITUTION AND ENGINEERING AND WORK PRACTICE CONTROLS : <br /> ICS will use elimination or substitution to minimize or remove a hazard . ICS will then apply <br /> engineering and /or work practice controls as a means of protecting personnel in the performance <br /> of site -specific tasks . <br /> Examples include : <br /> o Wetting soils to limit the emission of fugitive particulate matter . <br /> o Covering soil stockpiles . <br /> o Stopping work during high - wind conditions . <br /> o Erecting portable sunshades near work areas . <br /> 6 . 1 . 1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS <br /> Engineering controls shall be implemented to reduce and maintain employee exposures to or <br /> below safe levels for those tasks demonstrating known or suspected hazards . <br /> 6 . 1 . 2 WORK PRACTICE CONTROLS <br /> Work practice controls shall next be applied when engineering controls are impractical and shall <br /> be incorporated as site -specific standard operating procedures ( SOP ) for personal precautions <br /> and routine operations . <br /> Examples of easy-to- implement work practice controls include : <br /> • Instructing employees to avoid walking through , kneeling on , touching or placing <br /> equipment and/or supplies on potentially contaminated surfaces . <br /> 47 <br />
