LFR, Inc. <br /> equipment is required when working in or near environments with the potential for an <br /> explosive atmosphere. The SSO will verify facility requirements for a "hot work" <br /> permit before activities that may serve as a source of ignition are conducted. <br /> Flammable materials will be kept away from sources of ignition. In the event of fire, <br /> work will cease, the area will be evacuated, and the local fire response team will be <br /> notified immediately. Only trained, experienced fire fighters should attempt to <br /> extinguish substantial fires at the Site. Site personnel should not attempt to fight fires, <br /> unless properly trained and equipped to do so. A fully charged ABC dry chemical fire <br /> extinguisher will be readily available for use during all scheduled activities at the Site. <br /> 6.14 Lightning/Electrical Storms <br /> Lightning can be unpredictable and may strike many miles in front of, or behind, a <br /> thunderstorm. Workers will therefore cease field operations at the first sign of a <br /> thunderstorm and suspend activities until at least 30 minutes after the last observed <br /> occurrence of lightning or thunder. For purposes of this HSP, signs of a thunderstorm <br /> will include any visible lightning or audible thunder. <br /> In the event of a thunderstorm, workers will take the following actions: <br /> • Get inside a permanent building structure (not a shed or canopy) or fully enclosed <br /> metal vehicle (not a convertible or camper shell) with the windows fully up. <br /> • Stay away from tall isolated objects, such as trees, drill rigs, telephone poles, or <br /> flag poles. <br /> Avoid large open areas, such as fields or parking lots, where a person is the <br /> relatively highest object. <br /> • Stay away from lakes, ponds, railroad tracks, fences, and other objects that could <br /> transmit current from a distant lightning strike. <br /> 6.15 Traffic <br /> Vehicular traffic presents opportunities for serious injury to persons or property. <br /> Traffic may consist of street traffic or motor vehicles operated by facility employees or <br /> visitors to the Site. Workers and other pedestrians are clearly at risk during periods of <br /> heavy traffic. Risk from motor vehicle operations may be minimized by good operating <br /> practices and alertness, and care on the part of workers and pedestrians. <br /> Site personnel will wear high-visibility safety vests whenever activities are conducted in <br /> areas of heavy traffic. Work vehicles will be arranged to be used as a barrier between <br /> site workers and nearby traffic. If required by local ordinances or site location, a traffic <br /> control plan will be developed implemented. <br /> Page 14 KMEP-Smckmn-HASPvLdoc:LFR <br />
