Table 3 <br /> General Safe Work Practices <br /> • Minimize contact with excavated or contaminated materials. Do not place equipment <br /> the ground. Do not sit or kneel on potentially contaminated surfaces. <br /> • Smoking, eating, or drinking after entering the work zone and before decontamination must <br /> not be allowed. Employees who are suspected of being under the influence of illegal drugs <br /> or alcohol will be removed from the site. Workers taking prescribed medication that may <br /> cause drowsiness should not be operating heavy equipment, and should be prohibited from <br /> performing tasks where Level C, B, or A personal protective equipment is required. <br /> • Practice good housekeeping. Keep everything orderly and out of potentially harmful <br /> situations. <br /> • Use of contact lenses on-site must not be allowed when dictated by working conditions. <br /> • The following conditions must be observed when operating a motor vehicle. <br /> — Wearing of seat belts is mandatory <br /> — During periods of rain, fog, or other adverse weather conditions, the use of headlights <br /> is mandatory <br /> — A backup warning system or use of vehicle horn is mandatory when the vehicle is <br /> engaged in a backward motion <br /> — All posted traffic signs and directions from flagmen must be observed <br /> — Equipment and/or samples transported in vehicles must be secured from movement <br /> — The use of GeoSyntec acquired vehicles by non-GeoSyntec personnel is prohibited <br /> • In an unknown situation, always assume the worst conditions. <br /> • Be observant of your immediate surroundings and the surroundings of others. It is a team <br /> effort to notice and warn of impending dangerous situations. Withdrawal from a hazardous <br /> situation to reassess procedures is the preferred course of action. <br /> • Conflicting situations may arise concerning safety requirements and working conditions and <br /> must be addressed and resolved rapidly by the SHSO and PM to relieve any motivations or <br /> pressures to circumvent established safety policies. <br /> • Unauthorized breaches of specified safety protocol must not be allowed. Workers unwilling <br /> or unable to comply with the established procedures must be discharged. <br /> Table Idoc <br /> 07 April 2005 <br />
