Field vehicles shall park in an area that is a safe distance from operating equipment and vehicle traffic with the location approved by the Site Safety Officer. Care must be given when approaching heavy equipment. Personnel on foot should approach from a direction facing the operator and not a blind side. Eye-to-eye contact should be made before proceeding within the working limits of the operator and their heavy equipment. OVERHEAD HAZARDS There are no overhead hazards in the work area. UNDERGROUND UTILITIES Condor personnel have contacted Underground Service Alert prior to drilling or excavation activities. The property owner is responsible for marking the location of their own underground utilities. The approximate location of underground utilities shall be marked on the existing ground surface. A minimum of 3 feet clearance shall be given to marked utilities. If drilling or excavation near utilities is required, hand excavation and probing shall be performed in 6-inch intervals prior to drilling or excavating activities. MOVING AND ROTATING MACHINERY Drilling activities involve the use of large, heavy, moving, and rotating equipment. Loose fitting clothing that can be caught or snagged should be avoided. Work gloves should be worn while working with moving metal parts and equipment. PHYSICAL HAZARDS CONFINED SPACES/EXCAVATIONS Condor employees are not authorized to enter confined spaces without prior written approval from Condor's Corporate Safety Manager or designee. Excavations can be considered confined spaces. Employees are not authorized to enter excavations deeper than 5 feet without proper authorization and without proper shoring of excavation sides approved by a geotechnical engineer. Samples of excavations should be taken from material in the excavator bucket after it is brought to ground surface. Proper barricades shall be placed around open excavations when work is not in progress. FALL PROTECTION The Site Safety Officer will verify that all Condor employees and its subcontractors are using appropriate fall protection. The three major components of personal fall arrest protection are harness, lanyard, and secure anchorage. OSHA requires that fall protection be used anytime someone is working over six feet above the ground or the floor. MSHA requires that fall protection be used anytime a risk of falling exists. TRIP AND SLIP PROTECTION Good housekeeping shall be maintained at the site to prevent trip and slip hazards. HEAT STRESS Heat stress will be a hazard during hot weather and will be intensified when personnel are in protective clothing (if necessary). To prevent heat stress, personnel will be required to take breaks as needed and to consume adequate quantities of liquid.
