<br /> M.ADDITIONAL UPRR TRACK SAFEY AND REQUIRED TRAINING
<br /> The project will be performed at an active railroad facility,which presents numerous potential railroad related health and
<br /> safety hazards.All personnel involved in site operations conducted as part of the project shall adhere to the following
<br /> requirements:
<br /> • At the time of entry on UPRR property,the contractor(Antea Group or subcontractors)is required to notify the UPRR
<br /> Site Remediation Manager as well as the site Representative in charge,of their presence,work area,activities,and duration
<br /> on site.
<br /> • All personnel working on UPRR property will be required to wear ANSI-approved safety glasses with side shields,
<br /> hard hats,and above the ankle safety-toe footwear that conforms with ANSI requirements.All personnel working or

<br /> informed of and comply with all other requirements for PPE as defined in this HASP,or OSHA regulations.
<br /> • The contractor must not wear red clothing as this indicates an emergency and,as such, requires an approaching train to
<br /> stop.
<br /> The contractor shall promptly notify the UPRR Project Manager of any OSHA reportable injuries occurring to any person
<br /> that may arise during work performed on the job site. Likewise,the UPRR PM is to be immediately notified of the discovery
<br /> of unknown materials or potentially explosive materials.
<br /> • The contractor shall have non-delegable duty to control its employees and subcontractors,while they are on the job site
<br /> or any other property of the railroad (or any other property subject to the project)to ensure they do not use,are under
<br /> the influence of,or have in their possession any alcoholic beverage or illegally obtained drug, narcotic,or firearms.
<br /> • In live-track operations, all personnel and equipment must maintain a distance of 25 feet, unless the contract
<br /> necessitates working within this 25-foot exclusion zone.When doing so,employees and equipment must first
<br /> have authorization from UPRR.When authorized work is within the 25-foot exclusion zone,a UPRR Employee-in-Charge
<br /> must be present at all times unless the conditions outlined in the June 29,2001 letter from Bill Wimmer, UPRR Sr.Assistant
<br /> Vice President of Engineering,to all engineering contractors(discussed below)are met and work is not within 10 feet of the
<br /> tracks.The Employee-in-Charge will authorize all movements within 25 feet of any tracks and define appropriate safety
<br /> measures to govern work within this 25-foot exclusion zone.
<br /> • In live-track operations, if the contract necessitates personnel or equipment work within 25 feet of the track,all
<br /> employees must first have authorization from UPRR,and have been trained and certified in "On Track Railroad
<br /> Safety."On Track Safety procedures(UPRR,Chief Engineer's Bulletin 136.0;Appendix B) must be followed when
<br /> personnel or equipment work within 25 feet of the track. Maintain a distance of at least 25 feet to any track unless the
<br /> railroad's EIC(Employee In Charge)is present to authorize movements."
<br /> • All personnel must expect the movement of trains,engines,cars,or other moveable equipment at any time on any
<br /> track,and in either direction.
<br /> • All unattended equipment including vehicles must be parked a minimum of 25 from any track and a minimum of 250 feet
<br /> from any road crossing. Before leaving the equipment,the operator must stop the engine and secure the equipment
<br /> against movement.
<br /> • Personnel must not stand on,sit on,walk on,or occupy track.
<br /> • Personnel must not walk between rails of the track unless required by assigned duty and have the proper protection
<br /> provided. If required,personnel must step over and not on top of rails,frogs,switches,or guards when walking near or
<br /> crossing tracks.When standing,walking or working between or near tracks,do not rely on other personnel to notify you of
<br /> an approaching train,engine,or other equipment. Keep a careful lookout for trains,locomotives, cars,or other moving
<br /> equipment.
