DA. FALL HAZARDS (Falls to Lower Levels) L Applicable ® Not Applicable, Not Anticipated
<br /> Site-Specific Notes&Clarifications:
<br /> WORKING AT HEIGHTS(GENERAL) Fall protection"trigger heights":
<br /> Hazards: Built environment—US&CAN:4 ft.(1.2 m.);Construction:US:6 ft.,10 ft.for scaffolds CAN:10 ft.(3 m)
<br /> Injury from falls onto lower surface Protect from primary(fall)hazards: Protect from secondary(collateral)hazards:
<br /> or falls into hazardous equipment, ❑Restrict access to hazard(barriers,tape,sign) ❑Protect site ground personnel from falling objects
<br /> chemicals,water ❑Ensure safe access to height(ladder,stair,lift) (restrict access,toe boards,tether tools)
<br /> Overhead utilities/obstructions ❑Ensure guardrails/stair-rails/handrails present ❑Install caps on protruding rebar and similar
<br /> Impalement hazard(such as from ❑Ensure covers in place over holes ❑Working over water;see D.3,"Water Hazards"
<br /> falling onto unprotected rebar and ❑Use designated"watch person/monitor" ❑Working over hazardous machinery/equipment;see
<br /> similar surface projections) ❑Use tether or positioning device D.S,"Power-Tools/Powered Equipment"
<br /> Hazard posed to ground personnel ❑Use personal fall apparatus(PFA) ❑Overhead electrical;See D.11."Utility-Related Hazards"
<br /> from falling tools,equipment, ❑Use fall protection net ❑Working over chemical hazards;See D.14 and/or D.15
<br /> materials for chemical and/or contaminant hazards.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-120-Fall Protection,HS-210-Walking and Working Surfaces,
<br /> HS-304-Overhead/Underground Utility Hazards
<br /> LADDER/STAIRS ❑Follow safe work practices:
<br /> ❑ Extension/straight ladders • Use ladders according to safe practices and manufacturer's instructions.
<br /> ❑ Stepladders • Maintain 3 points of contact at all times on ladder;keep center of gravity within side rails.
<br /> ❑ Fixed/installed ladders • Do not use metal(conductive)ladder near electrical hazard.
<br /> ❑ Portable/mobile stairs • Extension/straight ladders shall be properly footed,secured,angled,extend above upper work surface.
<br /> ❑ Job-made or scaffold stairs • Stepladders are set on level ground or properly shimmed,spreaders locked;do not climb/stand on top
<br /> step,top cap,or rear non-climbing side;use step ladder of sufficient length for work.
<br /> Hazards: • Equip stairs with stair handrails where more than 4 steps,and for stairway height of 4'or more.
<br /> See general fall hazards,above. . Ensure portable stairs are stable,plumb.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-120-Fall Protection;HS-501-Ladders
<br /> ; SCAFFOLD ❑Follow safe work practices:
<br /> ❑Supported scaffold • Identify/coordinate operations with the scaffolding"Competent Person."
<br /> ❑Suspended scaffold • Supported scaffold level,stable,proper attachments,tiebacks,planking,
<br /> ❑Free-standing/mobile scaffold • Suspended scaffolds anchored properly.
<br /> • Guardrails or personal fall apparatus required above 10 feet.
<br /> Hazards: • Proper means of accessing scaffold(proper ladders,stair tower).
<br /> See general fall hazards,above • Total height of free-standing scaffold not to exceed four times the minimum base dimension.
<br /> Equipment collapse • Do not exceed load limits;store/stage materials in quantities sufficient for immediate use.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-507-Scaffolds
<br /> ; AERIAL BOOM/SCISSOR LIFT ❑Follow safe work practices:
<br /> Hazards: • Operators to be trained and certified.
<br /> See general fall hazards,above • Equipment is inspected after mobilization and is in good condition.
<br /> Struck by,run over,tip over • Harness&lanyard worn whenever operating the lift.
<br /> Caught between(pinch points) • Overhead hazards and surface obstructions to be reviewed with operators prior to use.
<br /> Fluid leaks/fuel hazards or Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-509-Aerial Lifts
<br /> battery-related hazards
<br /> WARNING! Confirmed or possible ❑Follow safe work practices per D.11.,"Utility-Related Hazards"
<br /> close proximity to OVERHEAD
<br /> ELECTRICAL UTILITY LINES. Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-304-Overhead/Underground Utility Hazards
<br /> D.5. HAND TOOLS(Manual,Hand-Powered) ® Applicable Not Applicable, Not Anticipated
<br /> Site-Specific Notes&Clarifications:
<br /> Subcontractor(Gregg Drilling)to be cautious when repairing infrastructures—as appropriate.
<br /> ® MANUAL HAND TOOL INJURIES ❑Proper tool for the job,maintain in good condition,use vise/clamp to hold work piece,proper follow through,
<br /> ®Struck by stay clear of"line of fire;'appropriate work gloves,keep blades sharp,use wrist strap when dropped tool
<br /> ®Pinch points/crushing injuries poses a hazard.
<br /> ®Puncture ® Utility/folding/collapsible knives and fixed open-bladed knives/cutting tools are not permitted, unless
<br /> specifically
<br /> ®Cutting blade/laceration risk authorized. Cutting tools with auto-retracting blades,or with enclosed/guarded blades are permitted.
<br /> ®Flying objects,eye hazards Use cut-resistant heavy work gloves,as applicable.
<br /> ®Other,describe above ®Ground surface penetration—requires utility clearance;see D.11."Utility-Related Hazards"
<br /> Geosyntec Procedures:HS-502-Manual Hand Tools
<br /> MUSCULOSKELETAL(MSK)HAZARDS
<br /> ❑Risk of acute physical MSK trauma
<br /> (strains,sprains,soft tissue injuries) I ❑For tools requiring high exertion(shovel,hand auger,sledgehammer,pickaxe,slide hammer,similar):do
<br /> ❑Risk ofcumulative/chronic MSK stretching exercises to prepare,clear hazard zone,use stable body position,take rest breaks,avoid overexertion.
