Safety and Health Plan Premium California Orchards Tracy, California Irerracon January 8, 2021 Terracon Project No. NA207103 Whenever project sites under Terracon control will disrupt vehicle traffic or expose Terracon personnel to the hazards of vehicle traffic, (i.e., work on an active roadway, including shoulders) adequate traffic control measures must be implemented. Terracon's preferred method for implementing traffic control is to request that clients assume this responsibility. Where clients refuse to assume responsibility, Terracon will attempt to sub- contract the service to a reputable traffic control firm. Terracon personnel with no training or experience in traffic flagging or the placement of traffic control devices such as signs, barricades or flashers are prohibited from engaging in traffic control operations unless directed by a trained and experienced individual. Project-Specific Traffic Control Requirements The Project Manager will be primarily responsible for assuring that traffic control measures utilized on the various compressor station project sites (where applicable) are in accordance with Department of Transportation requirements. All Terracon personnel working within 10 feet of an active roadway will wear ANSI Class III traffic safety vests as the outermost garment. All Terracon field personnel will participate in site traffic control briefings with affected field representatives where requested. 20.0 MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY Vehicles must be periodically inspected in accordance with Terracon motor vehicle operations policies. Any vehicle found to be unsafe shall not be operated and shall be removed from service until it can be repaired or serviced and rendered safe. Driving at the maximum posted speed limit can be too fast for safety in some situations. Drivers shall use good judgment and proceed at a speed suitable for the conditions of the vehicle, road, traffic, and weather. Vehicles are not to be moved until all passengers are properly seated inside the vehicle. All operators and passengers must use seat belts and shoulder harnesses, if the vehicle is so equipped. Before driving, all windows should be cleared of any materials such as frost, mud, or dew that may reduce visibility. Drivers should not engage in distracting activities while a vehicle is in motion. The vehicle should be pulled over to the side of the road and stopped when performing activities such as dialing or using a mobile telephone or taking notes. If the phone rings while driving, let the cellular voice mail service take the call and listen to the message later when you are parked. Vehicles should be properly parked. When possible, they should be parked so that no backing is required when leaving, unless doing so creates a greater hazard. Where backing is required when leaving a location, the driver shall walk around the vehicle prior to backing and inspect the area 27
