• No eating or drinking will be permitted in the immediate vicinity of heavy equipment and/or drilling and excavating activities. No smoking is permitted on any Miller Brooks site at any time. Special decontamination requirements: 1. CONFINED SPACES: If entry into a confined space is necessary, a trained Miller Brooks Subcontractor shall be used and a Confined Space Entry Permit must be completed and authorized, and confined space entry procedures followed. Detailed information on Miller Brooks Confined Space Entry procedures can be found in the Miller Brooks Health & Safety Manual and/or by contacting a Senior HSE Specialist. Does this site have any permit-required confined spaces? Yes 0 No OX J. INVESTIGATION-DERIVED MATERIAL DISPOSAL: Soil cuttings and decon water shall be placed in 55-gallon drums or other approved containers on-site. Disposal methods of soil and water will be determined based on laboratory analytical data. Proper disposal is the responsibility of the responsible party. K. EXCAVATIONS: All soil excavation and utility trenching is to be undertaken in strict conformance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Entry into excavated areas or trenches is allowed only when: 1. Shoring,sloping and spoil pile placement is in conformance with 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P,and 2. Personal protection and monitoring,as detailed in this Site Health and Safety Plan,has been implemented. Drilling and Excavating Health and Safety Guidance Procedures PREP: • Prior to conducting any subsurface work, a markout must ALWAYS be called in (approximately three working days before field work is scheduled -depending on the area). In some areas, not all markouts are performed by the "Call Before You Dig System". A Markout tracking sheet should be used. This will need to be filled out whenever a markout is called in. There will be an area where you will need to fill in the utilities contacted and identify utilities that are not listed. When a utility is not listed, you will need to contact that utility directly and obtain maps and/or get them to markout the property. • Always search the file and request the client search files for an as-built of the facility. WHEN ON SITE: • Subcontractors are required to perform an on-site inspection of their heavy machinery each day prior to the start of fieldwork. The Miller Brooks Site Safety Officer(SSO)will observe the inspection. Any safety concerns identified by the subcontractor must be addressed prior to the use of the equipment. During the inspection,the subcontractor must verify that all rig/vehicle kill switches are working properly. Miller Brooks'employees on-site must be informed of the location of the kill switches and how to operate them. • As part of your on-site health and safety meeting, walk the site with the drillers and identify possible boring locations (make sure the locations shown on the work plan/site plan are in areas free of utilities/subsurface structures). Make sure all utilities have been marked out properly. It is your responsibility for our client to ensure all boring locations are clear of utilities prior to drilling. Often"as-builts"are incorrect or not available. • Attempt to determine how all utilities are running. For the most part, utilities can run anywhere and can bend and twist in any direction but, there are a few basic things to keep in mind. Usually water and sewer lines will run to a bathroom. Electrical will run in between on-site lights, the kiosk and SS building. Storm water drains usually tie into one another and you can get a general idea of how they run by looking into them and seeing what direction the line is going. Obviously any cut outs in the asphalt should be avoided, especially if observed around the USTs (often, leak detection is an afterthought and is added following the completion of the service station rebuild and its location is obvious due to a continuous cut out in the asphalt around the tank field). • IT IS PREFERABLE NOT TO DRILL OR EXCAVATE WITHIN TEN FEET OF A TANK FIELD, USTs OR PUMP ISLANDS, OR TO DRILL IN BETWEEN THE PUMP ISLAND AND THE TANK FIELD.
