Other physical hazards that could be encountered with these works are falls, splashes of <br /> fluids , utility lines , and heat exposure . Personnel must be aware of on- site sources for <br /> falls produced by equipment and terrain, and perform their tasks with care for these <br /> conditions . Personnel can protect themselves from splashes and spills of fluids by <br /> wearing chemically resistant gloves , coveralls , and goggles . <br /> Both above and below ground utility lines pose safety hazards to personnel and <br /> equipment. All equipment utilizing masts or booms must maintain at least ten ( 10) feet <br /> of clearance from overhead lines . The presence of any buried utility lines at locales , both <br /> on- and off-site for drilling, must be identified prior to commencing work. Off-site <br /> buried lines can be found via Underground Service Alert at 811 . The client must provide <br /> all information, and assume the responsibility , for clearing on- site work locales of buried <br /> lines . <br /> Heat stress is generally not a predominant hazard during tasks of the site assessment. <br /> Means to reduce discomfort of heat stress are ; increase fluid intake ; take formal and <br /> prolonged rest periods ; during hot weather, perform tasks in the cool of mornings and <br /> evenings ; and provide shade and increase ventilation for the work and break areas . <br /> Do not hoist two or more separately rigged loads , (Tandem or Christmas tree lifting) , <br /> regardless of weight . Never allow any worker to stand under a moving load . There are <br /> NO EXCEPTIONS . <br /> SITE SECURITY AND ENTRY <br /> Tait Environmental Services will have the overall responsibility of the site security <br /> during all periods of on going site activities . Access to the site for field personnel and <br /> visitors will be controlled by the SSHO . <br /> Prior to starting, a safety meeting will be conducted to discuss health and safety issues , <br /> and the necessary protective equipment required for the site activities . The SSHO or <br /> Field Supervisor will conduct these meetings . <br /> WORK ZONES <br /> The SSHO will designate the area surrounding the UST ' s into an Exclusion Zone , <br /> Decontamination Zone , or Support Zone . <br /> EXCLUSION ZONE : <br /> The Exclusion Zone is the innermost of three concentric areas , and is the zone where <br /> contamination is known to or could occur. All personnel entering the Exclusion Zone <br /> will wear the prescribed level of protection for the specific site . Checkpoint for entry and <br /> exit will be established at the periphery of the zone to regulate the flow of personnel and <br />
