t <br /> • Use practical driving procedures in cities,on the freeway, and in rural areas. <br /> 3.2 Mechanical Hazards <br /> Type(s)/Source: Vehicle - struck-by injuries <br /> Qualified Exposure Risk: Moderate <br /> Hazard Control(s): <br /> • Work practices, housekeeping, and safe sampling procedures <br /> • PPE—ANSI approved yellow-green or orange safety vests; hard hats;safety glasses <br /> • Isolation -Traffic control/no work during inclement weather or darkness <br /> • Safe Lifting <br /> 3.2.1 "Striking" Injuries <br /> Hazard: Slips-Trips <br /> Control (s): To minimize risk of"slip/trip" hazards, personnel shall maintain a constant program of <br /> good housekeeping, keeping areas clear of trip hazards and wet and slippery surfaces. All hand tools <br /> shall be regularly secured and care shall be taken when entering areas where work is being performed <br /> above eye level. <br /> 3.2.2 "Struck-by" and Other Trauma Type Injuries <br /> Hazard: Injuries can, and often, result when one becomes an unexpected receptor of contact with <br /> another kinetic mass. These occurrences typically result from the worker being struck by a dropped or <br /> collapsed mass or a moving piece of equipment or vehicle. Hazards with machines and heavy <br /> equipment are created when there are rotating, reciprocating, and transverse motions, or cutting, <br /> punching, shearing and bending actions. The following are potential striking hazards on this project: <br /> Control: Engage the vehicle's warning light bar whenever planning to pull off or exit the highway. <br /> When stopped or parked, continue use of the light bar. Employees/workers shall not exit the vehicle <br /> until they have successfully pulled off of the highway. In those instances where it is not possible to <br /> clear the shoulder, workers shall exit the vehicle on the side opposite the adjacent traffic flow. Geocon <br /> employees will be required to wear hard hats and fluorescent vests and place safety cones at 10-yard <br /> intervals for 30 yards (if achievable) from the left rear corner of the vehicle so they may be seen by <br /> adjacent traffic. <br /> If shoulder and/or lane closure is required to perform the services, it shall be provided in conformance <br /> with Caltrans Standard Provisions for Maintaining Traffic as specified in Standard Plans T-10, T-IOA, <br /> T-11, T-12, T-13, and T-14. <br /> Stockton 6-Lane,Task Order No.82 Caltrans Contract 06A1141,EA 10-03A 1001 <br /> Project No.S9200-06-82 -6- December 2009 <br />
