SECTIONFIVE Health and Safety Requirements <br /> • If hazardous atmospheres are suspected, any trench or excavation more than four feet deep must be <br /> monitored. <br /> • Adequate shoring, sloping, or benching techniques must be employed. <br /> • Adequate means of employee access and egress must be utilized. <br /> • A Trench/Excavation Authorization form must be completed prior to personnel entering the trench <br /> (SMS 13 Excavation Safety). <br /> • The contractor's trained,competent person must inspect the trench or excavation on a daily basis, <br /> before work commences and on an as-needed basis throughout the day. <br /> The nature of the trench excavation process used for this project makes the use of barricades around the <br /> trench impractical. Hence, it is the responsibility of each employee to exercise extreme caution around the <br /> trenching operations, and to follow the precautions listed below: <br /> • Stay well clear of the trench and heavy equipment whenever possible. <br /> • Be aware of your position in relation to all heavy equipment,and make eye contact with equipment <br /> operators before moving into the area. <br /> • Use agreed-upon hand or other signals to communicate with operators. <br /> • Eliminate wet, slippery,walking surfaces whenever possible,especially near the trench opening. <br /> • Wear all required PPE. <br /> TS AND SETTINGS\CLEIMBECH\DESKTOP\WORLD ENTERPRISES\WORK PLANS\W ELL DESTRUCTION\ATTACHMENT C WORLD ENTERPRISES HSP TG EDITS.DOC\16-NO\ <br />
