Revised: 02/02/2023 4 <br />Job Steps Hazards Actions to Eliminate or Minimize Hazards RAC <br />15. Connect tools and other equipment in outdoor areas - Electric shock 1. Use GFCIs on all outdoor 115- to 120-volt, 20-ampere or less, circuits. Cover or elevate <br />electric wire or flexible cord passing through work area to protect it from damage by foot <br />traffic, vehicles, sharp corners, projections, or pinching. (Do not place cords through <br />pipes). Keep plugs and receptacles out of water, unless they are approved, submersible <br />types. <br />L <br />16. Use generator for temporary electrical supply.- Electric shock <br />- Personal Injury <br />- Hearing injury <br />1. If a generator is used, it is preferred that it is a type that does not require grounding. If <br />it requires grounding, follow manufacturer’s directions. Follow the other requirements <br />specified above in this AHA. Ensure that the outlets on the generator are protected by <br />GFCI. If they are not, be sure to install an inline portable GFCI. <br />2. Hearing protection devices such as disposable earplugs will be available to, and used by, <br />all personnel near sources of high intensity noise. Hearing protection is required any time <br />the noise level reaches 85 A-weighted decibels (dBA) or greater. Hazardous Noise Placards <br />will be posted as required along the boundary of high noise areas if present. <br />Whenever possible, generator should be situated away for occupied spaces to reduce noise. <br />Temporary walls, berms, etc., may also be used to reduce dB. <br />M <br />17. Refuel generator - Chemical Hazards <br />- Fueling spills ( splashing in eyes, face <br />and/or on skin) <br />- Personal Injury <br />1. Never refuel a generator while it is running, unless the manufacturer specifies that this <br />can be done. (Normally this is allowed only during emergencies or where shutdown of the <br />unit would significantly impair operations.) Avoid refueling while the engine is hot. <br />Workers should review the MSDS for fuel used and follow all safe handling precautions. A <br />person must attend to all refueling activities at all times. Never lock a fuel nozzle in an <br />“on� position and walk away to do something else. Never refuel in an environmentally <br />sensitive area. Either move the unit away from the area before refueling or place an <br />impermeable barrier (plastic liner) under the generator. Have spill control supplies readily <br />available. Avoid spilling fuel on to yourself. Wear nitrile gloves. Wear boot covers as <br />necessary. Only refuel in outdoor areas. <br />M <br />18. Establish Parking Areas and traffic controls for <br />company and personally owned vehicles <br />- Struck by Vehicle <br />- Struck by Equipment <br />- Personal Injury <br />- Vehicle and Equipment Traffic <br />1. Parking for personal vehicles will be separate and away from construction equipment or <br />company vehicles. Parking areas will be designated for consistent and uniform parking. <br />Drive thru parking is the preferred layout. If drive thru parking is not possible, then back-in <br />parking is the next alternate. Drive in/back out parking is the least preferred. Traffic <br />control signs will be installed to establish flow patterns. <br />M <br />Equipment Inspection Training <br />Heavy equipment Inspect equipment every day prior to use. <br />Competent person <br />Operator Certification <br />Qualified Person <br />Hand Tools Inspect the hand tools every day prior to use.Competent person <br />Qualified Person <br />Power tools (electric, gas, hydraulic, pneumatic)Inspect powertools every day prior to use.Competent person <br />Qualified Person <br />Fire Extinguisher Inspection should be done every month by a qualified designee.Competent person <br />Qualified Person <br />Involved Personnel: ICS Field CrewNC-25-1137 Tiwana & Sons <br />1210 East Hammer Lane, Stockton, CA 95210
