The true determination <br /> of risk must be made onsite by the Site Health and Safety Coordinator (SHSC) who must <br /> be alert to these hazards, does not take them simply as a matter of fact, and has time to <br /> notice them. <br /> Much of the responsibility for protection from utility hazards falls on the SHSC. The SHSC <br /> is responsible for ensuring a safe work environment when working around electrical devices, <br /> pressurized utilities, gas, steam, water, sewer and pipelines utilities. This job description <br /> requirement in no way, however, relieves any site personnel from their obligation to <br /> recognize and avoid unsafe conditions. <br /> 2.4343 Prevention and Protection Programs <br /> Survey for and Identification of Utilities <br /> Prior to beginning intrusive work on sites, in or around facilities, buildings, or other <br /> structures that could be served by or connected to utilities, a search must be conducted by <br /> the SHSC, ideally in association with someone familiar with the facility, to identify any <br /> overhead, underground, and in-workplace utilities such as: <br /> 2.4-115 <br />
