General Safety Rules <br /> In addition to the specific requirements of this site-specific HSP, <br /> common sense should prevail at all times. The following general <br /> safety rules and practices will be in effect at the site. <br /> • The site will be suitably marked or barricaded as necessary to <br /> prevent unauthorized visitors, but will not hinder emergency <br /> services, if needed. <br /> • All open holes, excavations, trenches, and obstacles will be properly <br /> barricaded in accordance with local site needs. These needs will be <br /> determined by proximity to traffic ways, both pedestrian and <br /> vehicular, and the site of the hole, trench, or obstacle. If holes or <br /> excavations are required to be left open during nonworking hours, <br /> they will be adequately decked over or barricaded and sufficiently <br /> lighted. <br /> • Prior to conducting any digging or boring operations, underground <br /> utility locations will be identified. The site representative and local <br /> utility authorities (or Underground Alert) will be contacted to <br /> provide locations of underground utility lines and product piping. <br /> All boring, excavation, and other site work will be planned and <br /> performed with consideration for underground lines. <br /> • Smoking and other ignition sources in the vicinity of flammable or <br /> contaminated material is prohibited. Designated smoking areas will <br /> be delineated. <br /> • Drilling, boring, movement and use of cranes and drilling rigs, <br /> erection of towers, movement of vehicles and equipment, as well as <br /> other activities will be planned and performed with consideration <br /> for the location, height, and relative position of aboveground <br /> utilities and fixtures, including signs, lights, canopies, buildings and <br /> other structures and construction, as well as natural features such as <br /> trees, boulders, bodies of water, and terrain. <br /> • When working in areas where flammable vapors may be present, <br /> particular care must be exercised with tools and equipment that may <br /> be sources of ignition. All tools and equipment so provided must <br /> be properly bonded and/or grounded. <br /> • Beards that interfere with respirator fit are not allowed within the <br /> site boundaries. This is necessary because all site personnel may be <br /> called upon to use respirator protection in some situations, and <br /> beards do not allow for proper respirator fit. <br /> 6-11 <br />
