EXPLANATORY NOTES,CLARIFICATIONS:
<br /> ® HEAVY EQUIPMENT N Follow general safe work practices for heavy equipment:
<br /> Hazards:Struck-by,run-over,caught . Trained/qualified persons operate all heavy equipment.
<br /> between(pinch points),roll over, . Do not get into a potential crush situation below or between equipment,or in an excavation.
<br /> fluid leaks,overhead hazards . No passengers on moving/operating equipment except where passenger seat/restraint is present.
<br /> • Equipment inspected daily upon mobilization;maintained in good repair,backup alarms.
<br /> • Leaks or defective safety equipment should be repaired before use.
<br /> • Operators required to use seatbelts.
<br /> • Maintain eye contact with operator and use hand signals prior to approaching near equipment.
<br /> • High visibility vests for all personnel in construction vehicle work area,on-site roadways and travel lanes.
<br /> • Maximum safe slope for each vehicle will be followed.
<br /> • Personnel to stay clear of,or restrict access to,swing radius and travel path of equipment.
<br /> • Spill equipment available for fuel and hydraulic fluid leaks.
<br /> • Equipment locked,secured,brakes set,buckets/forks lowered,when not in use.
<br /> • Park personal/support vehicles in a location as to not obstruct travel lanes or other site operations.
<br /> • Mark temporary roadways clearly,provide berms/stop logs where needed.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-504-Heavy Equipment,HS-132-Competent Persons
<br /> CRANES ❑In addition to general safety practices for heavy equipment(above),as applicable:
<br /> Hazards: • Only qualified persons operate cranes(certificate required).
<br /> - electrocution by overhead utility . Critical Lift Plan&Checklist prepared/executed(HS 506)prior to mobilization.
<br /> - injury in swing radius . Equipment to be inspected prior to mobilization and daily by crane operator.
<br /> - injury from falling load . Crane operator will remain at the controls at all times during operation.
<br /> - crane tipping over due to . Crane operation must be performed under the direction of an appointed signal person at all times.
<br /> overbalancing,high winds,
<br /> unstable ground,unsafe slope, • Communication between crane operator and signal person will be maintained through standard hand
<br /> bad placement of outriggers signals or voice communication equipment.
<br /> -injury from mechanical hazards • Keep area beneath suspended loads clear of personnel.
<br /> • Rigging procedures-see Mechanical Lifting,Rigging,below.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-506-Cranes,HS-132-Competent Persons
<br /> ® MECHANICAL LIFTING,RIGGING N In addition to general safety practices for heavy equipment and cranes(above),as applicable:
<br /> Applies to lifting by crane,truck- . Coordinate lifting operations with competent person.
<br /> mounted boom rig(e.g.drill rig), . Do not exceed loading limits of lifting equipment;perform work in accordance with equipment load chart.
<br /> mechanical/electrical hoist,similar . Slings,chains,rope,wire rope and related equipment used for lifting shall be maintained in good condition,
<br /> equipment. and used in a manner as to protect from damage.
<br /> Hazards:falling loads,personnel . Rigging,wire rope and hoisting equipment will be inspected and maintained on a weekly basis.
<br /> under suspended loads. . Hooks will be equipped with safety latches.
<br /> • Ensure anchor points for winch or other lift device(such as davit arm)are engineered for intended use.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-506-Cranes
<br /> ❑ FORKLIFT ❑In addition to general safety practices for heavy equipment(above),as applicable:
<br /> Hazards:Struck-by,run-over, . Qualified operator,per established forklift training(certificate is required).
<br /> overhead hazards,caught between . Equipment inspected daily and documented on Forklift Preoperational Inspection Checklist.
<br /> (pinch points),roll over,fluid leaks. . Do not exceed lifting load limits.
<br /> Forklift shall not be moved/driven with empty forks in raised position.
<br /> When not in use,forks lowered,brake set,controls in neutral,key removed.
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-505-Safe Operation of Forklifts,HS-132-Competent Persons
<br /> AERIAL LIFTS ❑See Section B.4.,"Fall Hazards"
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-509-Aerial Lifts
<br /> TRENCHING/EXCAVATION ❑Safe work practices when personnel will enter trenches/excavations:
<br /> Hazards:Cave-in,hazardous . Activities under supervision/oversight of competent person,daily inspection.
<br /> atmosphere,structures& • Excavated materials placed at least 2'from trench sidewall.
<br /> foundations,falls into excavations . Prevent water accumulation in trench.
<br /> • Sloping&shoring for excavations>_20'must be approved by a professional engineer.
<br /> • Sloping/shoring/trench box for excavations>_5'when persons enter trench/excavation.
<br /> • Sloping/shoring/trench box for shallow(<5')excavations with Cave-in hazard.
<br /> • Workers in trenches to be within 25 feet of ladder or sloped entryway.
<br /> • Excavations to be protected by perimeter fencing(not barricade tape),if potential for personnel to fall into.
<br /> • If potential for atmospheric hazard,see Section B.10,"Confined Space Entry,Hazardous Enclosed Spaces"
<br /> Geosyntec Procedure(s):HS-402-Excavation and Trenching,HS-132-Competent Persons
<br /> ® IMPORTANT! This work may/will N Follow safe work practices per Section B.9.,"Utility Related Hazards"
<br /> include close proximity to overhead
<br /> and/or underground utility lines.
