Stop Work Authority All on-site personnel are empowered, are expected, and have the responsibility to stop their own work and the work of co-workers, EMC employees, or other contractors if any person's safety or the environment is at risk. NO repercussions will result from this action. Site or project conditions that are possible reasons to stop work and to consider modifications to the HASP include: Recognition of new or unidentified hazards PPE breakthrough or unexpected degradation Unusual odors that can't be identified Unexplained, elevated readings on an organic vapor monitor Unexpected changes in soil coloration or texture that might indicate undisclosed contamination.

Traffic Guidance and Control (review and update to be site specific). Incidents on sites have shown the need for a site-specific Traffic Guidance and Control Plan. The SHSO and project staff will develop a Traffic Guidance and Control Plan and disseminate this information to all site personnel. This plan will consider the amount of traffic at a site and provide for the safety of all workers. Equipment and resources to be considered as part of traffic guidance and control include: Vehicle hazard lights (tail and headlights) Delineators and orange construction fencing Placement of vehicles as barriers between workers and traffic Rotating amber hazard lights that can be placed on top of vehicles Professionally trained flaggers Other considerations for the Traffic Guidance and Control Plan include: Requiring personal vehicles (that aren't being used as barriers) to park as far away from potential traffic as possible.
