Landmarc Environmental Systems,LLC Site-Specific Health&Safety Plan(SSHSP) <br /> operator has completed his maneuver. Never cut across the path behind any unit while it is backing. <br /> You could easily trip and full under the equipment. For the same reason you should never ride on <br /> the running boards, steps or drawbar or any equipment, even for a short distance. <br /> C. During backing, the operator should have the project manager clear the area behind the unit and <br /> provide direction. No operator should back a piece of equipment into and area without someone <br /> clearing the area and giving signals. <br /> D. Watch out for swinging counterweights on equipment such as cranes. There is often a pinch-point <br /> between the counterweights and some obstruction when the unit swings. Make sure there is enough <br /> room for workers to pass and if there is not - shut off the area to any access. <br /> E. Never ride on or near material that is being transported by equipment. The load could shift and you <br /> can be thrown to the ground. Also, clearance may not allow for your position and you can be <br /> crushed between overhead or side obstructions. <br /> F. If you must ride on equipment, make sure that all parts of your body are inside the unit, including <br /> your arms and legs. In addition, it at all possible, get off any portable scaffold or work platform <br /> while the unit is being moved. The time it takes to get off will be much less than the time lost if you <br /> fall or the unit tips over. <br /> G. Never walk alongside moving equipment. Keep in the clear in case it slides or turns, or the load <br /> shifts. <br /> H. When you are working near equipment operating in the vicinity of power lines, don't touch or come <br /> in contact with the frame of the unit or the load cables. There is always the chance that the boom of <br /> the unit may hit the power lines. Warn the operator and the project manager any time you see this <br /> possibility and follow their instructions. <br /> I. Don't walk under loads on cranes and hoists. Always take the path that avoids danger. <br /> J. Never clean, adjust, lubricate, repair or work on a machine that is in operation. Stop the machine <br /> before working on it and replace the guards as soon as it is done and before operation is resumed. <br /> K. The safest thing to do around construction equipment is keep away while the equipment is in <br /> operation. If you must be near the equipment, make sure the operator knows you are working <br /> nearby and stay alert. Keeping your mind on where you are in relation to the equipment will not <br /> only prevent injuries but could save your life. <br /> Heat Stress <br /> HEATSTROKE <br /> Heat stroke is life-threatening.
