Revised: 02/02/2023 2 <br />Job Steps Hazards Actions to Eliminate or Minimize Hazards RAC <br />1. Decontaminate equipment - Slips/Trips/Falls <br />- Heat stress <br />- Sprains and Strains <br />- Cuts and/or Abrasions <br />- Personal Injury <br />- Public Safety <br />1. Wear required PPE at all times. Visually inspect work areas. <br />Mark, barricade, or eliminate slip, trip, and fall hazards, as <br />feasible. Maintain proper illumination in all work areas. Keep <br />work area neat and orderly and free of mud or sediments. Wear <br />aggressive footwear to prevent slips. <br />2. Maintain fluid intake, and take breaks, as needed. Physiologic <br />Monitoring of personnel. If workers are wearing standard work <br />uniform, WBGT index will be used if temperature is above 70° <br />F to establish work/rest schedule. <br />3. Use proper lifting techniques such as keeping the back <br />straight, lifting with the legs, limiting twisting, and getting help <br />when moving bulky/heavy materials and equipment. Use lifting <br />devices whenever possible. Select hand tools to minimize the <br />following stressors: chronic muscle contraction or steady force, <br />extreme or awkward finger/hand/arm positions, repetitive <br />forceful motions, excessive gripping, pinching, and/or pressing <br />with hands and fingers. Do not lift more than 50 pounds without <br />help. <br />4. Wear appropriate hand protection for laceration protection. If <br />working with decontamination solutions, water proof gloves <br />should be worn to prevent exposure. <br />5. Personnel using pressure washers will wear face shields and <br />appropriate PPE to protect from wet splash back. Personnel <br />using pressure washers will have read the manufacturer’s <br />instructions and received training on the use and operation. <br />Personnel using pressure washers will be aware of the hazards <br />of high pressure water. Other support personnel will be kept out <br />of the area when a pressure washer is being used. When <br />working on a decontamination pad, a support worker will be <br />present to man the washer and shut down the system. <br />6. Decontamination after radiological work will include a <br />radiological release prior to equipment leaving the site. <br />Decontamination for chemical contamination will require a <br />release by the SSHO. <br />M <br />NC-25-1137 Tiwana & Sons <br />1210 East Hammer Lane, Stockton, CA 95210
