LA <br />E <br />VI. PROJECT SPECIFIC PRACTICES <br />To prevent personnel exposure to heat stress during all tasks, the <br />practices outlined in this plan shall be followed. The work area <br />must be marked in such a way as to prevent traffic from passing <br />within 10 feet of the work area. Barricades, caution tape, and <br />temporary chain link fence, or other means must be used to define <br />the work area. All on-site personnel must wear steel -toed safety <br />boots, hard hats, and long pants or trousers. <br />a. Site Preparation <br />The first priority for project personnel during site <br />preparation should be to post and secure the area, <br />particularly from motor vehicle traffic. The barricaded <br />work area will include the support, contamination <br />reduction and exclusion zones. <br />b. Asphalt Removal <br />Prior to the start of cutting operations the saw will be <br />inspected. The saw blade should be free of cracks and <br />distortions and the saw edge should be fresh. All guards <br />should be in place and functional. During cutting operations, <br />the number of people in the work area should be kept to a <br />minimum. The saw operator and any other personnel in the <br />barricaded area should wear: <br />- Hard Hat <br />- Safety Glasses <br />- Hearing Protection <br />- Leather Gloves <br />- Long Pants <br />- Steel -toed Boots <br />C. Excavation Safety <br />All excavation and tank removal conducted will comply with the <br />applicable OSHA regulations governing excavation and <br />trenching. All excavation shall be performed from a stable <br />ground position. <br />All spoils shall be located at least two feet from the <br />edge of the excavation, to prevent it from falling back <br />into the excavation. The excavation shall be guarded on <br />all sides by barricades, caution tape or temporary <br />fencing, as per contract specifications. <br />If excavating equipment is located in the vicinity of <br />overhead power lines, a distance of fifteen feet must be <br />maintained between the lines and any point of the <br />equipment. If the lines have appreciable sag, or if windy <br />conditions exist, this distance shall be twenty feet. <br />D-4 <br />
