WATER HAZARDS General water-safety measures for all work near water:
<br /> Work/travel in watercraft or on equipment over ❑Wear regulatory-approved personal flotation device(PFD)where drowning hazard is present.
<br /> water or over coal ash impoundment/pond: ❑Bring emergency rescue and/or signaling equipment(ring buoy and rope,reaching device,flares)
<br /> ❑Workboat,barge ❑For fall protection over water,see D.4."Fall Hazards."
<br /> ❑Water transportation ❑For electrical hazards associated with water/wet locations,see D.10."Electrical Work Tasks."
<br /> ❑Hazardous currents(river,tidal/riptide) Boating-specific:
<br /> ❑Ash pond ❑Use fuel safety practices,fire extinguisher present in boat.
<br /> ❑Towing,trailer,roadway ❑Develop/follow float plan,monitor weather,navigate/communicate as planned.
<br /> ❑Other—describe above ❑Confirm navigation/communication equipment operable before heading onto water.
<br /> Walking into water/wetland,on shoreline, ❑For work over very cold water,have immersion survival suit available.
<br /> riverbank,dock,bulkhead,abutment,coal ash: ❑For tidal,flash flood,dam release hazards,plan/locate work accordingly.
<br /> ❑Work on-foot near,or on ice over,waterbody ❑For towing a boat trailer,see D.2."Special Driving/Traffic/Transportation Hazards."
<br /> ❑Wading into water,wetland Work-entering water or along shore/bank or on dock/pier/abutment:
<br /> ❑Hazardous tidal zone or surf ❑For ice/slip hazards,wear ice creepers,sand work area,use tether,other appropriate measures.
<br /> ❑Water release,flash flood ❑For work on ice over water,verify safe thickness,have ring buoy&rope available
<br /> ❑Coal ash pond,quicksand ❑For unsure/slippery footing in water,use wading staff,high-traction soles on waders.
<br /> ❑Open culvert,arroyo,drainage/irrigation ditch ❑Have lifesaving skiff/boat available in circumstances where other rescue means are inadequate.
<br /> ❑Diving ❑Monitor hazardous tides,weather for flash floods,know water release schedule.
<br /> Hazards(as applicable): For ash ponds,quicksand:
<br /> Drowning,cold immersion ❑Wear regulatory-approved personal flotation device(PFD).
<br /> Boating collision,navigation,fog,darkness ❑Bring emergency rescue equipment(ring buoy and rope,reaching device)
<br /> Fire/fuel hazards ❑If walking on ash/quicksand,provide stable walking/working surface(4'x8'plywood,or similar)
<br /> Entrapment(mud/silt/coal ash/quicksand)
<br /> Slip/fall hazards—ice,mud,silt,wet surfaces

<br /> DA. FALL HAZARDS(Falls to Lower Levels) C Applicable ® Not Applicable, Not Anticipated
<br /> Site-Specific Notes&Clarifications:
<br /> WORKING AT HEIGHTS(GENERAL) Fall protection"trigger heights":
<br /> Hazards: Built environment—US&CAN:4 ft.(1.2 m.);Construction:US:6 ft.,10 ft.for scaffolds;CAN:10 ft.(3 m)
<br /> Injury from falls onto lower surface Protect from primary(fall)hazards: Protect from secondary(collateral)hazards:
<br /> or falls into hazardous equipment, El Restrict access to hazard(barriers,tape,sign) ❑Protect site ground personnel from falling objects
<br /> chemicals,water ❑Ensure safe access to height(ladder,stair,lift) (restrict access,toe-boards,tether tools)
<br /> Overhead utilities/obstructions ❑Ensure guardrails/stair-rails/handrails present ❑Install caps on protruding rebar and similar
<br /> Impalement hazard(such as from ❑Ensure covers in place over holes ❑Working over water;see D.3,"Water Hazards"
<br /> falling onto unprotected rebar and ❑Use designated"watch person/monitor" ❑Working over hazardous machinery/equipment;see
<br /> similar surface projections) ❑Use tether or positioning device D.5,"Power-Tools/Powered Equipment"
<br /> Hazard posed to ground personnel ❑Use personal fall apparatus(PFA) ❑Overhead electrical;See D.11."Utility-Related Hazards"
<br /> from falling tools,equipment, ❑Use fall protection net ❑Working over chemical hazards;See D.14 and/or DAS
<br /> materials for chemical and/or contaminant hazards.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-120-Fall Protection,HS-210-Walking and Working Surfaces,
<br /> HS-304-Overhead/Underground Utility Hazards
<br /> ❑ LADDER/STAIRS ❑Follow safe work practices:
<br /> ❑ Extension/straight ladders • Use ladders according to safe practices and manufacturer's instructions.
<br /> ❑ Stepladders • Maintain 3 points of contact at all times on ladder;keep center of gravity within side rails.
<br /> ❑ Fixed/installed ladders • Do not use metal(conductive)ladder near electrical hazard.
<br /> ❑ Portable/mobile stairs • Extension/straight ladders shall be properly footed,secured,angled,extend above upper work surface.
<br /> ❑ Job-made or scaffold stairs • Stepladders are set on level ground or properly shimmed,spreaders locked;do not climb/stand on top
<br /> step,top cap,or rear non-climbing side;use step ladder of sufficient length for work.
<br /> Hazards: • Equip stairs with stair handrails where more than 4 steps,and for stairway height of 4'or more.
<br /> See general fall hazards,above. . Ensure portable stairs are stable,plumb.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-120-Fall Protection;HS-501-Ladders
<br /> ; SCAFFOLD ❑Follow safe work practices:
<br /> ❑Supported scaffold • Identify/coordinate operations with the scaffolding"Competent Person."
<br /> ❑Suspended scaffold • Supported scaffold level,stable,proper attachments,tiebacks,planking,
<br /> ❑Free-standing/mobile scaffold • Suspended scaffolds anchored properly.
<br /> • Guardrails or personal fall apparatus required above 10 feet.
<br /> Hazards: • Proper means of accessing scaffold(proper ladders,stair tower).
<br /> See general fall hazards,above • Total height of free-standing scaffold not to exceed four times the minimum base dimension.
<br /> Equipment collapse • Do not exceed load limits;store/stage materials in quantities sufficient for immediate use.
