Analyze <br /> 2POTENTIAL HAZARDS <br /> 3. Concrete/asphalt removal 3c. CONTACT: Damage to 3c. Avoid contacting utilities directly with the high pressure <br /> (saw cutting or jack unknown/known utility with water water stream and using the lance tip as a physical <br /> hammer)and hand lance/air knife digging tool. <br /> clearance with hand tools, 3c. Limit the applied water pressure to<1,500psi. <br /> air knife and water lance 3c. Keep the lance tip moving to reduce direct spray. <br /> 3c. Increase the distance between lance tip and soil/utility. <br /> 3c. Continually remove soil slurry from hole with vacuum, <br /> which may have an abrasive effect on utility casings. <br /> 3c. Utilize a Turbo Rotary Tip instead of a Jet or Fan tip. <br /> 3d. EXERTION: Muscle strain due to 3d. Use body positioning and lifting techniques that <br /> poor body positioning when minimizes muscle strain; keep back straight, lift with legs, <br /> handling equipment and materials keep load close to body, and never reach with a load. <br /> 3d. Ensure that loads are balanced to reduce the potential for <br /> muscle strain.Two people or a mechanical lifting aid are <br /> required when lifting objects over 50 lbs. or when the <br /> shape makes the object difficult to lift. <br /> 3e. FALL: Tripping/falling due to 3e. Inspect walking path for uneven terrain,weather-related <br /> uneven terrain,weather hazards (i.e., ice, puddles, snow, etc.), and obstructions <br /> conditions, and prior to mobilizing equipment. Review Site Set Up JSA. <br /> materials/equipment stored at the 3e. Do not climb over stored materials/equipment;walk <br /> Site around. Practice good housekeeping. <br /> 3e. Use established pathways and walk on stable, secure <br /> ground. <br /> 3e. Equipment and tools will be stored at the lowest point of <br /> potential energy and out of the walkway and immediate <br /> work area (i.e.tools should not be propped against walls <br /> or nearby equipment or vehicles). <br /> 3e. Equipment and tools that are not anticipated to be used <br /> will be returned to a storage area that is out of the <br /> immediate work area. <br /> 3e. Ensure power cords and water lines are grouped when <br /> used within the work area. <br /> 3e. Pre-cleared location will be finished flush to grade as to <br /> prevent a slip/trip hazard. <br /> 3f. Always wear leather gloves when making connections <br /> 3f. CAUGHT: Amputation points and using hand tools;wear cut-resistant(i.e., Kevlar) <br /> associated with the equipment and gloves when handling cutting tools. <br /> vacuum hose 3f. Inspect the equipment prior to use for potential pinch <br /> points. <br /> 3f. Test all emergency shutdown devices prior to using <br /> equipment. <br /> 3f. Inspect saw blade for worn surface or missing teeth; <br /> switch blade if damaged or blunt. <br /> 3f. Ensure all jewelry is removed, loose clothing is secured, <br /> and PPE is secured close to the body. <br /> 3f. All non-essential personnel shall maintain a 10-foot <br /> exclusion zone; position body out of the line-of-fire of <br /> equipment. <br /> 3f. Equipment operators and helpers will understand and <br /> use the"Show Me Your Hands Policy". <br /> 3g. EXPOSURE: Hearing damage dUE 3g. Wear hearing protection when saw,jackhammer or air <br /> to noise from jack hammer/air saw compressor are in operation. Otherwise, if sound levels <br /> exceed 85 dbA, put on hearing protection. <br /> 4. Decontaminate equipment 4a. CAUGHT: 5a. Contain decontamination water(closed lid)so that it does <br /> and tools Injury due to contact with failed not spill. <br /> trench, may include muscle strains 5a. Use an absorbent pad to clean spills, if necessary. <br /> or tears, abrasions or lacerations, 5a. All impacted materials/PPE will be stored in plastic bags <br /> broken bones and possibly death. and disposal with the waste soil during soil removal <br /> activities. <br /> ' Each Job or Operation consists of a set of tasks/steps. Be sure to list all the steps needed to perform job. <br /> ' A hazard is a potential danger. Break hazards into five types: Contact-victim is struck by or strikes an object; <br /> Caught-victim is caught on,caught in or caught between objects;Fall-victim falls to ground or lower level(includes slips and trips);Exertion-excessive strain or stress/ergonomics/lifting <br /> techniques;Exposure-inhalation/skin hazards;Energy source-electricity,pressure,compression/tension. <br /> Using the first two columns as a guide,decide what actions or procedures are necessary to eliminate or minimize the risk. List the recommended safe operating procedures. Say exactly what <br /> needs to be done-such as"use two persons to lift". Avoid general statements such as,"be careful'. <br /> � ROUX � <br />
