Safety and Health Plan Vacant Property Tracy, California Irerracon May 21, 2021 Terracon Project No. NA197074B 00 Ergonomic Stress - Lift carefully with load close to body with the legs taking most of the weight. Get help with lifts greater than 40 lbs. When working with a heavy tool or object, keep legs under the load and do not overreach or twist to the side. Reposition body to be more square to the load and work. Push loads, rather than pull, whenever feasible. Do not persist with lifting when the load is too heavy. Use a mechanical lifting aid or have a coworker assist with the lift. Rotate repetitive tasks to avoid soft-tissue fatigue. 00 Falls From Elevated Surfaces - Protect employees from falling off surfaces that have a side or an edge that is 6 ft. or more above a lower level. Provide a safety harness and shock-absorbing lifeline or adequate fall protection where applicable. Employees must wear them when working 6 ft. or higher above the platform or main work deck. Install either a guardrail system or fall arrest system that conforms to 29 CFR 1926.502 (d) and is approved by the American National Standards Institute. oo Vehicles - Obey all site traffic signs and speed limits. Seat belts must be functional and in use during operation of any site vehicles (including rentals). Operator shall regularly inspect the vehicle for defective parts, such as brakes, controls, motor, chassis and drives. Always be aware and stay alert to traffic around the work area. 00 Inclement Weather — The project may be shut down by the SSO during the following inclement weather conditions: poor visibility; precipitation severe enough to impair safe movement or travel; lightning in the immediate area; steady winds in excess of 40 mph; or, other conditions as determined by the SSO or Corporate Safety and Health Manager. Work will resume when the conditions are deemed safe by the SSO. 00 Noise - Wear hearing protection when speech becomes difficult to understand at a distance of 10 ft. and while standing within 20 to 25 ft. from heavy equipment, pneumatic power tools, steam cleaners, and other equipment in operation that can generate more than 85 decibels (A-weighted scale) (dB). oo Slips, Trips, and Falls - Clear work area of obstructions and debris before setting up. Alter work areas as necessary to provide a safe, reasonably level area. All walking and working surfaces shall continually be inspected and maintained to be free of slip, trip, and fall hazards. Keep platforms, stairs, and immediate work areas clear. Do not allow oil, grease, or excessive mud to accumulate in these areas. Eliminate slip, trip, and fall hazards or identify them clearly with caution tape, barricades, or equivalent means. Store loose or light material and debris in designated areas or containers. Secure tools, materials, and equipment subject to displacement or falling. oo Traffic Control - If site activities interrupt the normal flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, barricades and warning signs which comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and/or State or local ordinances will be erected around affected equipment. 9
