0 0 <br /> appropriate OSHA regulations. Nevertheless, constant employee safety awareness while <br /> working near excavations will lessen the associated hazards. A security fence will be <br /> provided around all open excavations. All excavations greater than 4 feet deep will have a <br /> maximum slope of 1-1/2 horizontal to 1 vertical. See Attachment 2 for safe excavation <br /> procedure. <br /> Noise Levels <br /> Whenever feasible, noise levels, identified as exceeding 85 decibels per 8 hour day, will <br /> be reduced by means of engineering controls. These controls will include isolation, <br /> enclosure and application of noise reduction materials. Hearing protection shall be worn at <br /> all times when noise levels are suspected of being equal to or exceeding 85 decibels per 8 <br /> hour day ( i.e.: sawcutting and backhoe operation). Use of portable "walkman-type" radios <br /> are prohibited on the site. A copy of the OSHA Occupational Noise Standard, 29 CFR <br /> 1910.95, shall be available and copies shall be made available to employees upon <br /> request. CKY, Inc. maintains a hearing conservation program in accordance with 29 CFR <br /> Part 1910.95. <br /> Steam Cleaner/ Power Washer <br /> The use of a steam cleaner or power washer presents the potential hazard of being <br /> burned. The procedure in Attachment 2 must be followed in order to minimize this hazard. <br /> Weather <br /> The weather condition is an important consideration in planning and conducting site <br /> operations. Extremely hot or cold weather can cause physical discomfort, loss of efficiency <br /> and personal injury. Of particular importance is heat stress, which often results when <br /> protective clothing decreases the body's natural ventilation process. The Cold Stress and <br /> Heat Stress procedures are included in Attachment 2. <br /> C5.0 HAZARD CONTROL <br /> Control of potential onsite hazards involves understanding as well as application of the <br /> following topics: Training Requirements, General Work Practices, Contaminant Monitoring, <br /> Personal Protective Equipment, Decontamination, and Emergency Procedures. These <br /> topics are discussed below. <br /> C5.1 Training Requirements <br /> All field personnel are required to complete a basic training course before assignment to <br /> any field activities. Basic training includes a minimum of 40 hours of instruction in <br /> accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. Topics covered include: recognition, evaluation <br /> • and control of chemical and physical hazards; personal protective clothing and equipment; <br /> respiratory protection; environmental monitoring equipment; site safety plan development; <br /> decontamination procedures; and, practical exercise in the use of personal protective <br /> C-9 <br />
