Safety and Health Plan Tracy Ridge Tracy, California March 27, 2019 Terracon Project No. NA187052.1 lierracon Project-Specific Traffic Control Requirements The Project Manager will be primarily responsible for assuring that traffic control measures utilized on the various compressor station project sites (where applicable) are in accordance with Department of Transportation requirements. All Terracon personnel working within 10 feet of an active roadway will wear ANSI Class III traffic safety vests as the outermost garment. All Terracon field personnel will participate in site traffic control briefings with affected field representatives where requested. 19.0 MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY Vehicles must be periodically inspected in accordance with Terracon motor vehicle operations policies. Any vehicle found to be unsafe shall not be operated and shall be removed from service until it can be repaired or serviced and rendered safe. Driving at the maximum posted speed limit can be too fast for safety in some situations. Drivers shall use good judgment and proceed at a speed suitable for the conditions of the vehicle, road, traffic, and weather. Vehicles are not to be moved until all passengers are properly seated inside the vehicle. All operators and passengers must use seat belts and shoulder harnesses, if the vehicle is so equipped. Before driving, all windows should be cleared of any materials such as frost, mud, or dew that may reduce visibility. Drivers should not engage in distracting activities while a vehicle is in motion. The vehicle should be pulled over to the side of the road and stopped when performing activities such as dialing or using a mobile telephone or taking notes. If the phone rings while driving, let the cellular voice mail service take the call and listen to the message later when you are parked. Vehicles should be properly parked. When possible, they should be parked so that no backing is required when leaving, unless doing so creates a greater hazard. Where backing is required when leaving a location, the driver shall walk around the vehicle prior to backing and inspect the area for any potential obstructions, or use a spotter. Hazard lights shall be utilized when parking on a road shoulder. Bridge load limits should be reviewed and a pre-approved route established prior to transporting heavy equipment over county road bridges. Items carried inside the vehicle should be secured to prevent them from being thrown about in event of emergency braking or sharp maneuvers. Items that cannot be secured must be carried in an enclosed trunk or luggage compartment that is physically separated from the passenger area. All large tools should be carried outside the cab of the vehicle and be properly secured. All fittings, tools, supplies, equipment, and other cargo carried on cargo beds or in the back of trucks must be properly secured and restrained. 25
