To control these hazards, the following safety <br />requirements will be strictly enforced: <br />Seat belts shay_ be worn ANYTIME a vehicle is in <br />motion, regardless of speed or distance to be <br />travelled. Seat belt requirements also aPp1Y to the <br />operations of backhoe and other construction equipment <br />The basic speed law shall be followed at all times. <br />Vehicles shall be never be operated at a speed that is <br />not safe for the conditions (i.e., road surface. <br />traffic, visibility, weather, etc.). <br />8.3.5 OPEN EXCAVATION HAZARDS: <br />A significant portion of the project involves the <br />uncovering. excavation. and removal of underground storage <br />tanks and pipelines. As such, field personnel mazy be <br />exposed to several serious hazards associated with <br />excavation. activities. <br />A primary initial hazard with excavation operations is <br />contact with underground utilities, including electrical, <br />gas, water./sewer, and chemical pipeline. To mitigate these <br />hazards, the Field Supervisor shall take the following <br />action during excavation operations: <br />Verify the exact location of each authorized excavation <br />prior to breaking ground. <br />- Make every attempt to determine the presence or absence <br />of any underground utilities in the region by <br />contacting underground Services Alert, the Project <br />Manager, and/or local utility services. <br />?-land-dig the first two to three feet of the excavation <br />in areas where contact with utilities is possible or <br />unknown. <br />- Arrange for the deactivation of utilities whenever <br />possible and appropriate for the circumstances. <br />An additional primary hazard associated with excavations is <br />exposure to the open, excavated area, resulting in falls <br />and/or collapse. To mitigate this hazard, the following <br />safety actions shall be taken: <br />- No Person shall be allowed to enter any excavation <br />greater than five feet deep, or less than five feet <br />deer when soil testing and condition-- indicate that <br />soils are prone to movement. This SHP does not <br />address the entry into excavatioss that require <br />protection prior to entry. WARNING - If a change <br />the scope of work necessitaes entry into <br />excavations as described above, the SHP must be <br />Updated by contracting certified Industrial HYgienist <br />and approved by the Project Manager. <br />
