® WORKING NEAR MOBILE HEAVY ®For personnel on-foot/on-the-ground near operating heavy equipment,follow safe work practices: EQUIPMENT,ON-SITE VEHICLES • High visibility vests for all personnel in construction vehicle work area,on-site roadways and travel lanes. Hazards: • Maintain unobstructed vision:wear shaded eyewear only in bright sun;don't wear hoods. Struck-by • Erect barriers and post signs to identify and isolate the equipment hazard zone,if possible. Caught between • Stay out of swing radius of equipment,both in front and operating end,as well as at the back of equipment. Run over,roll over • Stay out of the travel path of operating heavy equipment. Overhead hazards/obstructions • When crossing vehicle pathway behind moving equipment,cross at a distance not less than 30 feet. Elevated loads • When approaching equipment,always be able to see operator so he/she can see you. • Make eye contact with operator and use hand signals or make radio contact prior to approaching equipment. • Operator to provide"all off'hand signal when it is safe to approach within swing radius of equipment. ® OPERATION OF MOBILE HEAVY ®Operators to follow safe work practices for operation of heavy equipment: EQUIPMENT • Only trained/qualified persons allowed to operate heavy equipment. Hazards: Wear seatbelts;roll-over protection system present/deployed;do not exceed maximum safe slope. Struck-by • No passengers on moving/operating equipment except where passenger seat/restraint is present. Run over,roll over • Equipment inspected daily upon mobilization;maintained in good repair,backup alarms. Caught between(pinch points) • Leaks or defective safety equipment should be repaired before use;fire extinguisher present. Fluid leaks/fuel-/fire-hazards • Maintain eye contact with ground personnel and use hand signals to direct their approach near equipment. Overhead hazards/obstructions • High visibility vests for all personnel in construction vehicle work area,on-site roadways and travel lanes. Potential for body • Cease operation if personnel enter swing radius,travel path or hazard zone of moving parts,elevated loads. entrapment/crushing • Use safe practices for fuel handling/storage/transport;spill equipment available for fuel/fluid leaks. Rotating equipment,moving • Equipment locked,secured,brakes set,buckets/forks lowered,when not in use. parts. • Shut down lock out equipment to prevent crush situation beneath or between moving / p g parts of equipment. • Ensure personal/support vehicles are parked/located not to obstruct equipment travel lanes/operating zones. • Mark temporary roadways clearly,provide berms/stops where needed. Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-504-Heavy Equipment,HS-132-Competent Persons ; TRENCHING/EXCAVATION ❑Safe work practices when personnel will enter trenches/excavations: Hazards: • Activities under supervision/oversight of Competent Person,conduct daily inspection of excavation. Cave-in,entrapment • Excavated materials placed at least 2'from trench sidewall. Hazardous atmosphere • Prevent water accumulation in trench. Water accumulation • Sloping&shoring for trenches excavations>20'deg must be a Falls into excavations p g g / p approved by a Professional Engineer. Utility-related hazards • Sloping/shoring/trench box for excavations>5'when persons enter trench/excavation. Undermining structures& • Sloping/shoring/trench box for shallow(<5')trench/excavation with cave-in hazard. foundations • Workers in trenches to be within 25 feet of ladder or sloped entryway. • Excavations to be protected by perimeter fencing(not barricade tape),if potential for personnel to fall into. • If potential for atmospheric hazard,see D.12."Confined/Enclosed Spaces" Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-402-Excavation and Trenching,HS-132-Competent Persons ; FORKLIFT ❑In addition to general safety practices for heavy equipment(above),as applicable: Hazards: • Qualified operator,per established forklift training(certificate is required);Geosyntec operator must be Struck by approved by Director of Health and Safety. Run over/roll over/tip over • Equipment inspected daily and documented on Forklift Preoperational Inspection Checklist. Overhead utilities/obstructions • Do not exceed lifting load limits. Caught between(pinch points) • Forklift shall not be moved/driven with empty forks in raised position. Unstable/falling loads • When not in use,forks lowered,brake set,controls in neutral,key removed. Elevated forks -Fluid leaks Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-505-Safe Operation of Forklifts,HS-132-Competent Persons AERIAL BOOM/SCISSOR LIFT ❑Follow safe work practices: Hazards: • Operators to be appropriately trained and certified. Falls from basket • Equipment is inspected after mobilization and is in good condition. Overhead utilities/obstructions • Harness&lanyard worn whenever operating the lift. Struck by,run over,tip over • Overhead hazards and surface obstructions to be reviewed with operators/riders prior to use. Caught between(pinch points) Tip over Fluid leaks. Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-509-Aerial Lifts CRANES ❑In addition to general safety practices for Operation of Heavy Equipment(above),as applicable: Hazards: • Only qualified persons operate cranes(certificate required). — electrocution by overhead utility • Critical Lift Plan&Checklist prepared/executed(See HS 506-Cranes)prior to mobilization. — injury in swing radius • Equipment to be inspected prior to mobilization and daily by crane operator. — injury from falling load • Crane operator will remain at the controls at all times during operation. — crane tipping over due to • Crane operation must be performed under the direction of an a overbalancing,high winds, p p appointed signal person at all times using hand unstable ground,unsafe slope, signals and/or voice/radio communication. bad placement of outriggers • Crane to be level and stable(solid ground or crane mats/timbers,outriggers if present,cribbing);over- injury from mechanical hazards reaching or exceeding load limits is prohibited. • Keep area beneath suspended loads clear of personnel;tag lines used to maneuver load. • Rigging procedures—see Mechanical Lifts with Rigging,below.
