Moving Plates and placing <br />into Position <br />- Injury to feet from falling load <br />- Pinch Points <br />- Slips/Trips/Falls <br />- Utilities - overhead (power, natural <br />gas, water, etc.) <br />1. Prior to lifting/moving trench plates scan the area for <br />overhead hazards or obstructions. Do not proceed if within 10' <br />of an overhead power line or other physical structure. See ICS <br />HASP for all safe distances. <br />2. Be aware of your surroundings when setting and aligning <br />plates over open holes, trenches and uneven surfaces. Watch <br />where you walk, wear steel toes work boots/shoes with adequate <br />tread and raised heel. Operator to communicate with crew how <br />and where the trench plate is going to be lifted and path of <br />travel to final point. <br />3. Do not place yourself between equipment or objects that <br />could cause pinching or crushing. Use a tag line and rope to <br />control plates from a distance. <br />4. Never place body or feet beneath swinging trench plates. <br />Maintain a minimum distance of 4' feet from plate. Use a long- <br />handled magnetic tool to gently guide plate as its being moved. <br />Inspect all rigging as defined in the ICS Lifting Plan Checklist. <br />Do not lift if wire braiding on cable is frayed or questionable. <br />Chains, cables, shackle and any other rigging devices used must <br />be rated for at least 1.5 times the load being lifted. Inspect <br />threads on lifting eye to ensure wear does not exceed <br />manufacturers specifications. <br />M <br />NC-25-1137 Tiwana & Sons <br />1210 East Hammer Lane, Stockton, CA 95210
