SEVIONFOUR Site Hazard Ana is <br /> 4.1.3 Noise (SMS 026) <br /> Noise-generating equipment will be used during project activities.This equipment includes pumps,heavy <br /> mobile equipment(e.g.,backhoes,and trucks),and assorted power tools.The noise levels near some of <br /> this equipment could exceed 85 decibels A-scale(dBA). Elevated noise levels constitute a hearing hazard <br /> and interfere with communication.The primary noise hazard at this site is from the excavating equipment. <br /> Whenever feasible,noise levels,identified as exceeding 85 decibels,will be reduced by means of PPE. <br /> Earplugs and/or muffs will be worn at all times when URS personnel are within 25 feet of operating <br /> equipment. Hearing protection will also be worn in the vicinity of generators, concrete cutters, and any <br /> other high noise emitting equipment. See URS SMS 026 for additional information. <br /> 4.1.4 Slips,Trips, and Falls (SMS 021) <br /> Non-skid mats,runners,pallets,or other appropriate equipment will be used to control slippery surfaces. <br /> Ladder safety considerations include,but are not limited to,the following: Only one person is to be on a <br /> ladder at one time,and the ladder is to be tied off.Barricades are to be appropriately positioned while <br /> people are on elevated work areas.Whenever feasible,obstructions or overhanging structures encroaching <br /> commonly used areas posing potential safety hazards will be covered with sufficient padding to protect <br /> personnel from possible injury. Dedicated personnel/equipment routing should also be designated as <br /> needed. While it is difficult to eliminate all slip-trip-fall hazards,implementing safe work practices will <br /> minimize risk of injury,utilizing proper footwear, and keeping the excavation area free of obstructions <br /> Temporary fencing will be placed around all open excavations. Appropriate housekeeping guidelines to <br /> minimize slip/trip/fall hazards are provided in SMS 021 (Housekeeping). <br /> 4.1.5 Lifting Hazards and Musculoskeletal Injuries(SMS 045) <br /> Musculoskeletal injuries (e.g., strains,sprains, and muscle pulls)are the most common work place <br /> injuries. Field activities may require occasional lifting of heavy objects.No one is to attempt to lift large, <br /> heavy,or cumbersome objects without assistance.Project team personnel generally required to do <br /> frequent lifting will be trained in proper lifting procedures.The SSO will ensure that appropriate material <br /> handling equipment(e.g., cylinder carts,hand carts,drum cradles,and dollies)is available at the work site <br /> as needed. SMS 045 (Back Injury Prevention)provides appropriate guidance for lifting safely. <br /> 4.1.6 Hand Safety(SMS 064) <br /> Specific hand safety-related procedures are described in SMS 064(Hand Safety).A key component of <br /> hand safety is using appropriate tools and gloves for the job to be performed. <br /> HSP T EDITS.DOC\18.NOV.11\\4-3 <br /> H:\WRROCESS\25532\WORLDENTERRRISE\WELL DESTRUCTION\ATTACHMENT C WORLD ENTERPRISES S S S G <br />
