Safety and Health Plan 1515 Fresno Ave Industrial Building Development Stockton, California Irerracon November 16, 2021 Terracon Project No. NA215051 The site is planned for the development for industrial building. The scope of services includes the installation of three (3) piezometers within the project site. It is not anticipated that soils and/or groundwater at this project site will be impacted by contamination. 6.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT 6.1 Chemical Hazards There are no known chemical hazards associated with this site or scope of work. 7.0 Drilling Safety Precautions Project activities will consist of drilling three soil borings to 20 feet below grade surface (bgs) and installing piezometers in each boring. The borings will be advanced using a hollow -stem auger drill rig. 8.0 Site Physical Hazards/Precautions The physical hazards associated with intrusive site activities can include inclement weather, material handling, slips/falls etc. Some anticipated hazards and means for preventing injury from those hazards are as follows: Back injuries due to improper lifting - Use proper lifting techniques. Lift with the legs, not the back. Keep loads close to the body and avoid twisting. Loads heavier than 50 pounds (lbs.) require a second person or mechanical device for lifting. Use mechanical devices such as drum dollies, hand trucks, and tool hoists (for lifting augers) to lift or move heavy loads whenever possible. Ergonomic Stress - Lift carefully with load close to body with the legs taking most of the weight. Get help with lifts greater than 40 lbs. When working with a heavy tool or object, keep legs under the load and do not overreach or twist to the side. Reposition body to be squarer to the load and work. Push loads, rather than pull, whenever feasible. Do not persist with lifting when the load is too heavy. Use a mechanical lifting aid or have a coworker assist with the lift. Rotate repetitive tasks to avoid soft-tissue fatigue. Falls from Elevated Surfaces - Protect employees from falling off surfaces that have a side or an edge that is 6 ft. or more above a lower level. Provide a safety harness and shock -absorbing lifeline or adequate fall protection where applicable. Employees must wear them when working 6 ft. or higher above the platform or main work deck. Install either a guardrail system or fall arrest system that conforms to 29 CFR 1926.502 (d) and is approved by the American National Standards Institute. D
