❑ OPERATION OF MOBILE HEAVY ❑Operators shall follow safe work practices for operation of heavy equipment:
<br /> EQUIPMENT Only trained/qualified persons allowed to operate heavy equipment.
<br /> Hazards: • Wear seat belts;roll-over protection system present/deployed;do not exceed maximum safe slope.
<br /> Struck-by • No passengers on moving/operating equipment except where passenger seat/restraint is present.
<br /> Run over,roll over • Equipment inspected daily upon mobilization;maintained in good repair,backup alarms,windows clear.
<br /> I - Caught between(pinch points) • Leaks or defective safety equipment should be repaired before use;fire extinguisher present.
<br /> Fluid leaks/fuel-/fire-hazards • Maintain eye contact with ground personnel and use hand signals to direct their approach near equipment.
<br /> Overhead hazards/obstructions • High visibility vests for all personnel in construction vehicle work area,on-site roadways and travel lanes.
<br /> Potential for body • Cease operation if personnel enter swing radius,travel path or hazard zone of moving parts,elevated loads.
<br /> I entrapment/crushing • Use safe practices for fuel handling/storage/transport;spill equipment available for fuel/fluid leaks.
<br /> ! - Rotating equipment,moving Equipment locked,secured,brakes set,buckets/forks lowered,extendable parts retracted,when not in use.
<br /> parts. • Shut down/lock out equipment to prevent crush situation beneath or between moving parts of equipment.
<br /> • Ensure personal/support vehicles are parked/located to not obstruct equipment travel lanes/operating zones.
<br /> • Mark temporary roadways clearly,provide berms/stops where needed.

<br /> TRENCHING/EXCAVATION ❑Safe work practices when personnel will enter trenches/excavations:
<br /> Hazards: • Activities under supervision/oversight of Competent Person,conduct daily inspection of excavation.
<br /> Cave-in,entrapment I • Excavated materials placed at least 2'from trench sidewall.
<br /> Hazardous atmosphere i • Prevent water accumulation in trench.
<br /> Water accumulation • Sloping&shoring for trenches/excavations>20'deep must be approved by a Professional Engineer.
<br /> Falls into excavations • Sloping/shoring/trench box for excavations>5'when persons enter trench/excavation.
<br /> Utility-related hazards
<br /> Undermining structures& , • Sloping/shoring/trench box for shallow(<5')trench/excavation with cave-in hazard.
<br /> foundations • Workers in trenches shall be within 25 feet of ladder or sloped entryway.
<br /> • Excavations shall be protected by perimeter fencing(not barricade tape),if potential for personnel to fall into.
<br /> i • If potential for atmospheric hazard,see D.12."Confined/Enclosed Spaces"
<br /> HSE Program Documents:HSE SOP-432:Excavation and Trenching Activities
<br /> FORKLIFT ®In addition to general safety practices for heavy equipment(above),as applicable:
<br /> Hazards: i • Qualified operator,per established forklift training(certificate is required);Geosyntec operator must be
<br /> Struck-by I approved by Director of Health and Safety.
<br /> Run over/roll over/tip over • Equipment inspected daily and documented on Forklift Preoperational Inspection Checklist.
<br /> Overhead utilities/obstructions • Do not exceed lifting load limits.
<br /> Caught between(pinch points) Forklift shall not be moved/driven with empty forks in raised position.
<br /> Unstable/falling loads . When not in use,forks lowered,brake set,controls in neutral,key removed.
<br /> Elevated forks
<br /> Fluid leaks
<br /> H5E Program Documents:HSE SOP-436:Safe Operation of Forklifts and Mobile Equipment
<br /> AERIAL BOOM/SCISSOR LIFT ❑Follow safe work practices:
<br /> Hazards: • Operators shall be appropriately trained and certified.
<br /> Falls from basket ' • Equipment is inspected after mobilization and is in good condition.
<br /> Overhead utilities/obstructions • Harness&lanyard worn when operating a boom lift(optional for scissor lift).
<br /> Struck-by,run over,tip over • Overhead hazards and surface obstructions shall be reviewed with operators/riders prior to use.
<br /> Caught between(pinch points)
<br /> Tip over
<br /> Fluid leaks. HSE Program Documents:HSE SOP-650:Manlifts and Aerial Lift Platforms(safe operation of mobile equipment)
<br /> CRANES ( ❑In addition to general safety practices for Operation of Heavy Equipment(above),as applicable:
<br /> Hazards: • Only qualified persons operate cranes(certificate required).
<br /> - electrocution by overhead utility j • Critical Lift Plan&Checklist prepared/executed(See Procedure)prior to mobilization.
<br /> - injury in swing radius • Equipment shall be inspected prior to mobilization and daily by crane operator.
<br /> - injury from falling load I • Crane operator will remain at the controls at all times during operation.
<br /> - crane tipping over due to I
<br /> 1 i • Crane operation must be performed under the direction of an appointed signal person at all times using hand
<br /> overbalancing,high winds,
<br /> unstable ground,unsafe slope, signals and/or voice/radio communication.
<br /> bad placement of outriggers I Crane shall be level and stable(solid ground or crane mats/timbers,outriggers if present,cribbing);over-
<br /> injury from mechanical hazards reaching or exceeding load limits is prohibited.
<br /> J I • Keep area beneath suspended loads clear of personnel;tag lines used to maneuver load.
<br /> • Rigging procedures-see Mechanical Lifts with Rigging,below.
<br /> i
<br /> 1
<br /> ' MECHANICAL LIFTS WITH RIGGING ❑In addition to general safety practices for Operation of Heavy Equipment and Cranes(above),as applicable:
<br /> Applies to lifting by rigging attached E • Slings,chains,rope,wire rope,as well as sheaves,boom and attachments used for lifting/hoisting shall be
<br /> to crane,truck-mounted boom rig I maintained in good condition,inspected daily,and used/stored in a manner as to protect from damage.
<br /> (e.g.drill rig),heavy equipment, ! • Coordinate lifting operations with competent person.
<br /> mechanical/electrical hoist,similar • Do not exceed loading limits of lifting equipment;perform work in accordance with equipment load chart.
<br /> equipment. ; • Hooks will be equipped with safety latches.
<br /> Hazards: . Ensure anchor points for winch or other lift device(such as davit arm)are engineered for intended use.
<br /> -Mechanical hazards, • Ensure personnel are not positioned beneath elevated loads and that tag lines are used where appropriate.
<br /> -Elevated loads
