Universal Health & Safety Plan FZ, For use on all high-risk,industrial and HAZWOPER projects Department of Toxic Substances Control 8. Personal Protective Equipment The use of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)forms the final barrier of protection between the employee and the hazard and applies to all employees at the work site, including Subcontractors,visitors and client or customer representatives. For additional information on PPE, please review the Personal Protective Equipment, S3AM-208-PR1. The minimum PPE required on an AECOM project is as follows: ■ Hard Hat ■ Shirt with Sleeves ■ Safety Glasses with side shields ■ Long Pants ■ Reflective Safety Vest ■ Safety-toe Boots ■ Gloves(on person)—Required to be worn if handling materials, equipment, etc. Specific PPE shall also be specified in Task Hazard Analyses(THAs)such as glove type(i.e. material, level of protection, etc.). Where possible, hazards will be eliminated or controlled to reduce the risk associated with a specific task. These controls include: ■ Elimination of the hazard ■ Isolation of the hazard ■ Engineering Controls ■ Administrative Controls With the exception of prescription safety eyewear and safety toed boots(there may be allowances for the purchase of these items),AECOM will make available all required PPE for its employees.All employees will receive training in the use, care, maintenance and storage of the PPE issued to them. All personal protective equipment will meet the requirements of local, state,federal, client and AECOM SH&E regulations and procedures.Where site-specific PPE requirements exist, all AECOM employees, Subcontractors and visitors,who work on the Project, will follow those requirements. PPE will not be modified or changed. All PPE that is damaged or in need of service or repair will be removed from service immediately. All PPE that has been removed from service will be tagged"OUT OF SERVICE"and will not be returned until repaired and inspected by a qualified person. Defective PPE must be removed from site to prevent it from being used. 8.1 SH&E Technology At AECOM,we encourage the use of new technology to eliminate or reduce the risk our employees are exposed to. Mark the technology you will be using in this project(if any): ❑ Wearable Technology/Smart PPEs(e.g. clothes, helmets, glasses, harness) ❑ Ergonomics Technology(e.g.tracking or managing ergonomics data,use of technology to make a task safer ergonomically) ❑ Site Sensors(e.g. Movement, angle, noise, carbon monoxide, Dust) ©AECOM Restricted Universal Heath and Safety Plan Template(S4(DSC)AM-209-FM-C) 23 Revision 12 September 9,2021 PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED.CONTROLLED COPY IS AVAILABLE ON COMPANY INTRANET.
