® PNEUMATIC/HYDRAULIC HAZARDS N Never direct outlet nozzle toward body;use guards,restraints,engineering controls as appropriate.
<br /> N Air compressor N Never use compressed air for cleaning clothes you are wearing.
<br /> ❑Compressed air system ❑ If compressed air is used for cleaning,restrict pressure to 30 psi or below,equip nozzle with chip guard.
<br /> El High-pressure liquid N Use PPE for eye(goggles or face shield)/hand/head/hearing/skin protection,as appropriate for the hazard.
<br /> ❑Pressurized steam N Ensure tank,hoses,fittings are in good repair using factory fittings,equipped with whip-checks.
<br /> (For compressed gas cylinders,see N If pressure relief device poses a hazard to workers,reconfigure or shield device or restrict access by workers.

<br /> PORTABLE HEATER ❑Follow general safety practices for Operation of Equipment/Machinery(above),and as follows:
<br /> ❑electric • Keep heater dry and locate heater on level surface away from high traffic areas to prevent tipping.
<br /> ❑fuel-powered • Never use fuel-powered heaters indoors,or near air intake vents,due to carbon monoxide hazard.
<br /> Hazards: • Provide ventilation and/or air monitoring where hazardous accumulation of exhaust emissions is possible.
<br /> Shock(electrical) • Keep combustible materials at least 3 feet from hot surfaces.
<br /> Carbon monoxide emissions and • Plug electric heaters directly into wall outlet(don't use extension cord or power strip).
<br /> fuel-related fire hazards(fueled) ` • For electric heaters,see D.10.,"Electrical Work Tasks."
<br /> Fires/burns from hot surfaces. • Shut down fuel-powered equipment before refueling;see safe practices for flammable/combustible liquids
<br /> and/or compressed gases in D.14."Commercial Chemical Products."
<br /> LOCKOUT/TAGOUT(LO/TO)OF E ❑Prepare site-specific written LO/TO program,and equipment-specific written LO/TO procedures(as
<br /> HAZARDOUS ENERGY To prevent applicable);implement control procedures for hazardous energy sources,provide locks/tags,train workers,
<br /> unplanned equipment start-up or designate"authorized"personnel,notify"affected"personnel.

<br /> Site-Specific Notes&Clarifications: Heavy equipment in operation at the Site.Field team should be aware of heavy equipment activity in the area.
<br /> ® WORKING NEAR MOBILE HEAVY E N For personnel on-foot/on-the-ground near operating heavy equipment,follow safe work practices:
<br /> EQUIPMENT,ON-SITE VEHICLES • High visibility vests for all personnel in construction vehicle work area,on-site roadways and travel lanes.
<br /> Hazards: . Maintain unobstructed vision:wear shaded eyewear only in bright sun;don't wear hoods.
<br /> Struck-by • Erect barriers and post signs to identify and isolate the equipment hazard zone,if possible.
<br /> Caught between i . Stay out of swing radius of equipment,both in front and operating end,as well as at the back of equipment.
<br /> Run over,roll over . Stay out of the travel path of operating heavy equipment.
<br /> Overhead hazards/obstructions . When crossing vehicle pathway behind moving equipment,cross at a distance not less than 30 feet.
<br /> Elevated loads . When approaching equipment,always be able to see operator so he/she can see you.
<br /> • Make eye contact with operator and use hand signals or make radio contact prior to approaching equipment.
<br /> • Operator shall provide"all off'hand signal when it is safe to approach within swing radius of equipment.
<br /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> HSE Program Documents: HSE SOP-644:Working Around Heavy Equipment
<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 . Excavated materials placed at least 2'from trench sidewall.
<br /> Hazardous atmosphere . 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.
