Confined Space-In the event that there are confined spaces present at the job site to be entered, specific procedures covering air monitoring,training,permitting,rescue,and PPE as recognized by CRA SOPS must be reviewed and followed. At no time shall any personnel be allowed to enter a confined space until all criteria,as stated in the CRA SOP,are met. Overhead Hazards-Investigation of a work area must be conducted before any work is to begin. Proper clearances must be maintained at all times. Equipment shall not deviate from established roadways or work areas where clearances are unknown or insufficient. Hard hats are to be worn on all construction sites where there is any potential of overhead hazard or if heavy machinery is in use. (In Canada,hard hats are required on all construction sites.) Heat/Cold Stress-CRA personnel have the potential to be exposed to climatic extremes of both heat and cold. Because of these conditions,SOPS were developed so that the hazards associated with these temperature extremes on the body can be recognized and avoided. During extreme weather, the SOP for heat and cold stress must be followed. Animal/Insect/Vegetation-Rodents,snakes,stray animals,stinging insects,and poison ivy, sumac and oak are all environmental hazards that may be encountered during daily site operations. Site investigation to identify the hazards prior to work related activities is essential. The information obtained can then be passed on to site personnel. Site-specific procedures shall be instituted should there be a reasonable potential for these hazards. C. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 1.
