Health and Safety Plan 1319 & 1327 South Madison Street, Stockton,CA 432770 E I Consultants 3.1 Project Kick-Off Meeting At the inception of every project and prior to any fieldwork, a Project Kick-Off Meeting must be held and the Project Kick-Off Meeting (PKOM) checklist should be completed (Appendix A). During the meeting, the clearance of each boring location should be reviewed along with this policy. 3.2 Permits,Access,and Notification • Proper drilling permits must be obtained prior to drilling from the local permitting agency, if applicable. • Access must be obtained for the drilling locations and access agreements or permits may be needed depending on the site and the situation. • The client and the onsite contact must be notified prior to any drilling activities. 3.3 Health and Safety Plan Ensure that a site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) is created and that the HASP is kept onsite at all times. The HASP should include contact numbers and a map to the nearest hospital. The HASP must also include the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for Borehole Clearance and incident reporting forms. The HASP and JSA must be reviewed each day prior to the start of work in a "Tailgate"safety meeting. 3.4 Borehole Clearance Methods Some of the tasks involved in choosing the locations of borings can take place in the office. It is important to gather all the relevant information about each site to assist in identifying hazards. It should be noted that multiple lines of evidence are required to properly clear boreholes and that none of the individual pieces of information below constitute clearance. 3.4.1 Visual Checkfor Utilities Minimizing the risk for striking an underground utility involves not only utilizing appropriate equipment, but also evaluating site-specific lines of evidence. Visible lines of evidence of a potential utility can include poles, ground surface depressions, enclosures, pedestals (including new cables found within the pedestals), valves, meters, cleanouts/risers, and manholes. A visual check for utilities should always be conducted, particularly where utilities deeper than five (5) feet or non-metallic construction (i.e., vitrified clay or PVC sewage drain pipe)are suspected. Many utilities can be identified by observing the features on the site. Many utilities have a surface feature such as a manhole, utility box,spigot,or even a
