These ramps shall be placed no more then <br />50 feet apart. An employee cannot be more than 25 feet from an exit out of the trench. Instead of <br />digging ramps in the side of trenches a ladder may be used as access or egress. The ladder is also <br />required to be within 25 feet of any workers in the trench. <br />To view additional regulations set forth by O.S.H.A. for excavations in their entirety please see your <br />supervisors' computer. (29CFR 1926 Subpart P Excavations.) <br />Fall Protection <br />Each employee at the edge of an excavation 6 feet or more in depth shall be protected from falling <br />by guardrail systems, fences, or barricades when the excavations are not readily seen because of <br />plant growth or other visual barrier. 1926.501(b) (7) Trenches shall only be approached at the trench <br />box, shoring, etc. Only employees working in the area need to be around the trench. <br />Any employee conducting work more then 6 feet off the ground shall use fall protection, i.e., full body <br />harnesses, guardrails, safety nets etc. <br />Fire Protection <br />All Supervisor's trucks shall have a fire extinguisher either mounted in the back of the truck, behind <br />the seat, or in the tool box. Make sure to ask the supervisor for its location in case of an emergency. <br />We also have water trucks on almost every job which are a suitable means for fire protection as <br />stated in 29CFR 1926.150(c) (2). <br />In order to help prevent any fires all equipment should be checked daily for leaks. All leaks shall be <br />turned into the supervisor for repair. All equipment shall be shut off during fueling. <br />Welding shall be done away from any flammable or combustible materials and a fire extinguisher <br />shall be close by. <br />First Aid <br />Although we strive to have an accident free work places, in case of an injury it is R & D Electric,lnc <br />responsibility to provide First Aid service and provisions for medical care for all employees. 29CFR <br />1926.26 <br />Every supervisor shall have a (25+ person) First Aid Kit either behind their seat or on the tool box. <br />Report all injuries to your supervisor, even the minor ones. Even small cuts can get infected and <br />leave the employer with doubt of injury occurring on job if not reported on the same day. All <br />recordable injuries shall be logged on the O.S.H.A. 300 form which shall be done by the safety <br />officer and kept in the main office. <br />Flammable Materials <br />Only approved containers and portable tanks shall be used for storage and handling of flammable <br />and combustible liquids. Approved safety can or Department of Transportation approved containers <br />shall be used for the handling and use of flammable liquids in quantities of 5 gallons or less. 29CFR <br />1926.152 .The use of plastic gas cans is prohibited. <br />
