HAZARD ANALYSIS 1.2.1. Hazards and Health and Safety Measures WORKING WITH MACHINERY AND VEHICLES IN GENERAL HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢ Being run over, knocked, machines overturning and false maneuvers ➢ The site must be inspected before any work begins in order to check for severe unevenness in the terrain, objects, etc. that could put the stability of the machines at risk. ➢ Warning signs must be installed to advise all works personnel of the dangers of being hit/run over by machines/vehicles and/or of these overturning or colliding. ➢ In the event of the workers on foot having to use the same route as the vehicles and machines in order to access the workzone, a safety barrier must be installed (fence, guardrail, protected walkway, etc.) to separate the two different transit routes. ➢ Workers are strictly prohibited from moving about or standing within the radius of action of working machinery, with the exception of the signalman directing the maneuvers. ➢ The fact that it is prohibited to remain within the radius of action of the machines must be signposted and the work areas must be cordoned off. ➢ All vehicle drivers/machine operators must be in possession of a valid driver's license and of the relevant qualification/training certificate. ➢ All specialist machine operators must be provided with a copy of the relevant health and safety instructions. ➢ Whenever machine operators do not have clear Page 4 of 22 unbroken visibility, their maneuvers must be directed by a signalman. ➢ All machines must be used in accordance with the recommendations of their respective manufactures. ➢ All machinery must be equipped with acoustic and visible (flashing beacon) reverse maneuvers warning devices. ➢ It is strictly prohibited to transport persons in or on the machines except in seats especially installed for such a purpose. ➢ Whenever heavy machinery is being moved, be it within the site or on the public highway, it must be transported using special vehicles, and these must be preceded by a pilot car fitted with flashing beacons and obey the maximum speed limits in both situations. ➢ All works machinery must bear an official seal of quality or have been approved by ANSI. ➢ A hardhat and reflective vest must be worn when moving around the site on foot. ➢ Being struck and/or trapped by a machine or the moving parts thereof. Maintenance and repair. ➢ Any operation carried out on a machine or works vehicle, be it to do with maintenance or a repair, must be carried out with the engine/motor turned off. ➢ All repair work done on the machines must be carried out by specialized personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. ➢ Every effort must be made to avoid carrying out any maintenance or repair operation on a gradient. If this cannot be avoided, the wheels of the machine/vehicle must be chocked to prevent it from unintentionally rolling down the slope. ➢ It is strictly prohibited to use or operate any machine on terrain for which it was not designed. ➢ Fire and explosion. ➢ All works machinery must be refueled in accordance with the procedure of the authorized fuel distributer and transporter. ➢ All works machines and vehicles must be equipped with handheld fire extinguishers. ➢ Smoking or the use of mobile phones while refueling is strictly prohibited. Page 5 of 22 EARTHWORKS HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢ Persons, vehicles, machinery or objects falling into earthworks. ➢ The necessary instructions for the correct execution of the earthworks will be given. ➢ The edges of the embankments must be protected using signboards and/or protective safety fencing. ➢ The minimum safety distance of 6 feet out from the edge of the earthworks (trench, pit, etc.) must be marked by way of a line (of plaster, cement dust, etc.) and no machines, vehicles or persons must encroach within it (as a general rule). ➢ The vehicle access points and transit routes must be clearly signposted. ➢ All earthworks must be protected by deploying solid guardrails located at least 4 feet out from the edges of these. ➢ Workers on foot must be provided with auxiliary aids for accessing the bottom of the earthworks. These must be simple and safe, and normally consist of hand ladders or stairway towers (for depths in excess of 15 feet. ➢ Vehicle/machinery access ramps must never be steeper than 12% on the straight and 8% on curves and must have a minimum width of 14 feet. ➢ Stops or buffers must be installed alongside the edges of earthworks into which materials are being poured from vehicles in order to prevent these from encroaching too close. ➢ Landslide and collapsing earthworks ➢ It is prohibited to carry out any work at the foot of unstable retaining slopes. ➢ It is prohibited to stand (or work) at the foot of a recently excavated workface without it first having been made good, shored up, etc. ➢ No materials or spoil must be left within 2 ft from the edge of the earthworks in order to prevent overloading and any resulting landslide or collapse this might cause. ➢ Light vehicles/machines are prohibited from encroaching within 9 ft of the edges of earthworks, with this safety distance increasing to 12 ft for heavy vehicles/machines. ➢ The workface and side walls of each excavation must be inspected at least twice a day by the Works Supervisor. If any risk of collapse or slippage is found, the area in question must be evacuated and the Project Manager notified. She/he must then give the order for the area to be made good by specialist personnel by shoring and/or propping. Page 6 of 22 ➢ All urgent shoring and bracing work must be carried out in strict accordance with the express directions and approval of the Project Management Team. The Site Manager must implement the solution adopted. ➢ In the event of standing water present on the site, (heavy rains, flooding due to a ruptured water main), this must immediately pumped away in order to prevent any alteration in the makeup of the terrain having a negative affect on the stability of the retaining slopes. ➢ Same level falls ➢ Works must be suspended under severe weather conditions (rain, wind, ice, etc.) ➢ The use of appropriate safety footwear will be required. ➢ The work area will be isolated through barricade barriers and tape. ➢ Accidents caused by vehicles being overloaded or their controls, bodywork or wheels being in poor condition. Spoil/rubble falling out of the containers of the vehicles ➢ Exceeding the maximum load level specified for each vehicle is strictly prohibited. ➢ All hired machinery and vehicles must be thoroughly checked before they start work on the site, with especial attention being paid to their safety elements. They must be accompanied by an up-to- date logbook and a certificate proving they have been serviced by an authorized workshop. Likewise, they must be accompanied by an instruction manual with which the operator is fully familiar. ➢ Accidents involving workers due to the lack of a signaler directing each loading and unloading operation. ➢ All maneuvers involving vehicles reversing close to the edges of embankments must be directed by specialist personnel in order to avoid these overturning or falling. Page 7 of 22 THE EXCAVATION OF TRENCHES AND PITS HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢➢ Persons falling into a trench or pit. ➢➢ The area around the open trench or pit must be protected using self-supporting guardrails located between 5 ft and 6 ft from the edges thereof (for depths of 6 ft and over). Shallower excavations must be protected using barrier tape or another suitable marking system. ➢➢ 20 inches wide wooden or metal boardwalks fitted with solid regulation handrails must be used to cross the earthworks. ➢➢ All workers and site personnel must climb down into and up out of the earthworks by way of solid and securely fastened hand ladders that protrude at least 3 feet above the edge of the trench or pit, to which they must also be securely anchored. ➢➢ The sides of a trench or pit collapsing. ➢➢ In order to prevent the risk of materials falling into the trenches or pits or of these collapsing due to excess pressure, nothing must be piled or stacked within 2 feet of the edges of them. ➢➢ In the presence of rain or of a high-water table, the behavior of the retaining slopes must be monitored in order to prevent the earthworks from collapsing on top of those working in them. Any accumulated water must be bailed out as soon as possible. ➢➢ If there is any risk of a trench or pit collapsing or a retaining slope slipping, those working in it must be ordered to abandon it immediately and the area must be cordoned off so as to prevent any accidents. ➢➢ In the event of shoring up of earthworks being required, it must be carried out in accordance with the express directives issued by project management. If this is the case, the condition of the struts and reinforcements must be checked on a daily basis by personnel qualified to do so. ➢➢ Vehicles or machinery falling into a trench or pit. ➢➢ Wherever trenches or pits are located close to vehicle/machinery transit routes, the former must be protected using continuous steel crash barriers that are strong enough to prevent any vehicle/machine from Page 8 of 22 falling into them. ➢➢ The edge of the transit route used by trucks and machinery must be cordoned off at a distance of at least 6 feet from the edge of the trench or pit using barrier tape or a line of planks firmly anchored to the ground. ➢➢ The vehicle and machinery access points and transit routes must be clearly signposted. ➢➢ Whenever vehicles or machines have to reverse close to the edges of trenches or pits, they must be guided by specialized personnel in order to prevent them from collapsing or falling into the earthworks. CONFINE SPACE HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢ Toxic materials such as carbon monoxide from temporary heaters in low- lying areas; refrigerants; high voltage transmission equipment; physical hazards involving poor lighting and cramped working conditions. ➢ Have a competent person identify all confined spaces in which its employees may work. ➢ Before any worker works in a permit space, the entry employer must train authorized entrants, attendants, entry supervisors, and other employees with duties under the OSHA standard (such as persons who test and monitor the atmosphere in a permit space) to understand the hazards in the permit space and the methods used to protect against those hazards. If a worker is not authorized to perform entry rescues, the training must include the dangers of attempting such rescues. All training must be provided at no cost to workers. After the training, the employer must ensure that the workers have the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary to safely perform their assigned duties. ➢ All employers engaged in construction work must ➢ (1) identify any confined spaces in which their workers will be working, and (2) determine whether any such spaces are permit spaces. ➢ ➢ A continuous air monitoring must done in order to ensure aire quality. ➢ ➢ Ventilate the confine space; pure oxygen must no never use. Use clean air. ➢ ➢ Employer or responsible party must develop a written permit space program, and entry is only permitted under the terms of the program. That employer, who is an “entry employer” under the standard, must keep any unauthorized persons from entering the permit space, Page 9 of 22 and remove any unauthorized persons who do enter the space. ➢ When workers work in permit spaces, they must be protected against the hazards in those spaces. ➢ ➢ To ensure such protection, the Confined Spaces standard imposes duties on “entry employers,” “host employers,” and “controlling contractors.” If an employer knows that a permit space is present at its worksite, it must inform its workers of the location and danger posed by each space. ➢ ➢ It may do this by making sure that warning signs are posted. In addition, where an employer’s workers have no work to do in the space, that employer must ensure that its workers stay out. One way to do this is for employers to make sure that workers recognize permit space warning signs and understand their significance. ➢ ➢ Responsible party/entry employee shall provide and maintain, at no cost to the employee, personal protective equipment and any other equipment necessary for safe entry, and require employees to use the equipment properly; ➢ The protection that is required depends on the type and severity of the hazards present in the permit space WEATHER HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢ Sun ➢ Heat stress ➢ Sub burn ➢ Lightning ➢ Monitor weather ➢ Follow emergency plan ➢ All work will stop ➢ 30 minutes after last lightning strike work will resume. ➢ Rain ➢ Raincoats for workers ➢ Keep all ➢ Always use work boots ➢ Wind ➢ Practice good lifting techniques ➢ All traffic control devices must be secured with weights. Page 10 of 22 TRAVEL INSDIE THE JOB SITE HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢ Vehicle/ Equipment Accident ➢ only authorized personnel will operate vehicle ➢ no personal vehicle inside work area. ➢ Always obey traffic law ➢ Speed limit inside work zone is 10MPH or follow local ordinance ➢ Runovers & Back overs ➢ Back up alarm ➢ Use of spotter HEAVY EQUIPMENT/ CRANE ➢ Specifically for Crane and any other Heavy equipment that require inspections. Cranes to have monthly inspections performed by competent personnel. Daily would be preferred. Monthly inspections to be turn in to office/ supervisor. HAZARD HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES ➢ Electrical ➢ Whenever heavy equipment is being operated at the workplace, the operator should always keep in mind that where the power line is and at what distance from it. this applies to all heavy equipment such as excavator, boom trucks, cranes, loaders, dump trucks, etc.. ➢ Material Falling ➢ Whatever load is lifted with care, there is a need to secure that load properly. Proper tag line/ safety line need to be on every load being lifted. A spotted is required when lifting loads. Is the operator responsibility to ensure the load is being lifted safely. ➢ Overloading ➢ If a crane is overloading, that is, lifting more than its capacity, then it can overturn or load can fall, which can have a disastrous result. Operator to know lighting capacity of crane and check every load prior to lifting to ensure or minimize risk of overloading. Also ensure crane instruments are working properly to assist in determining if overloading is or may occur. ➢ Pinch Point ➢ The purpose of lifting the load from the crane is to shift it from one place to another, that is, to move it, during operation of the work. During this time, if caution is not taken, it can become a crush or pinch point and there can be a danger. A spotter is always needed to avoid this issue as well as discussing with all members of the crew the work before executing the lift. ➢ Ground Preparation ➢ The crane requires a solid and stable foundation to operate Page 11 of 22 safely. Soft, hilly, or unbalanced ground may cause the crane to overturn. Ensure the crane is operating on level, stable foundation. Operation to perform inspection prior to operating crane. ➢ Rigging ➢ All rigging to be inspected as often as possible, no later than monthly. Rigging to be inspected prior to crane use on a project site. Ensure proper tag with weight, date, type of material is on the rigging to be used. Any rigging to be found defective, to be replace and not used. 1.3. OCCUPATIONAL RISK PREVENTION 1.3.1. Individual Protective Equipment All personal protection elements must follow OSHA 1926 Subpart E: Personal Protective and Life Saving Equipment regulating the requirements that must be met by Personal Protection Elements. With respect to those cases not covered by an official standard, these must be of a quality high enough to adequately fulfil their purpose. All workers must be issued with a breathable reflective vest, and this must be worn throughout the entire working day. Head Protection - Safety hardhat. - Anti-dust and anti-impact spectacles or googles. - Auto filtering paper mask. - Safety screen for welding. - Ear protection Body protection - Overall. - Raincoat - Leather apron for welders - Safety vest - Steel toe boots Upper extremities protection - General use safety gloves - Neoprene gloves - Dielectric gloves for LV - Welder gloves Lower extremities protection Page 12 of 22 - Steel toe boots and anti-nail insole. - Waterproof boots. - Dielectric boots. 1.3.2. Training Before the onset of each phase of the works, the workers must be informed as to its correct implementation and how to prevent the inherent risks it entails. Likewise, everybody involved in the project must receive occupational health and safety training in terms of their own immediate needs and in accordance with the specific job they are going to do. 1.3.3. Preventive Medicine and First Aid First Aid Kit Each of the workers' huts/facilities must be equipped with a first aid kit, and each of the works vehicles/machines must carry a portable first aid kit in order to ensure that the different work areas have one to hand. These kits must contain the regulation materials and be checked once a month, with anything used being replaced immediately. Caring for Accident Victims Everybody involved with the project must be informed with respect to the different healthcare centers to which accident victims must be taken in order to receive the fastest and most effective treatment. First call is to 911 to report any serious emergency. A list of all the telephone numbers and addresses of the healthcare centers allocated for casualties must be clearly displayed on site in order to guarantee that any possible accident victims can be taken there with a minimum of delay. 1.3.4. How to act in the event of an emergency The emergency action plan defines the sequence of actions that need to be implemented in order to initially control any emergency situations that might occur in light of the human and material resources available, and the type of activity being carried out. FIRE This type of emergency can result in three different situations: ➢ Incipient Fire: This is a fire that can be simply and quickly controlled and dealt with by the personnel and resources on site: fire extinguishers and fire hoses (tanker truck). ➢ Localized Fire: This is a fire that, although it only affects the site, cannot be controlled by those working there requiring, as it does, the presence of a specialized fire-fighting team using specific equipment (the telephone numbers of the different emergency services are attached to the end of this chapter). In this event everybody must be evacuated from the site. Page 13 of 22 ➢ Generalized Fire: This is a fire that not only affects the site, but also those areas surrounding it and, therefore, third parties. The site must be immediately evacuated, the Project Management Team must be informed and the external emergency services must be called in. GENERAL RULES OF WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT ➢ If the injuries do not cause the accident victim to lose consciousness and mobility and do not, initially, appear to be serious, the victim must be taken to the nearest healthcare center in a works vehicle. If necessary, initial first aid can be administered to the victim using the means available in the first aid kit before they are taken away. ➢ Regarding those accidents in which the victim loses consciousness or internal injuries are suspected, those present must act as follows: ➢ “The victim must not be moved” unless their life is in immediate danger, fire, asphyxiation, etc. ➢ Check that the victim can breathe unassisted. If not, artificial respiration and, if necessary, cardiac massage (resuscitation techniques) must be applied. ➢ Request help immediately (emergency services telephone numbers) and prepare access points and evacuation measures indicating the place of the accident. ➢ Do not leave the injured person's side. There must always be somebody with first aid knowledge and experience with the victim. ➢ Cover the victim with a blanket to prevent them from cooling down and possible shock. ➢ Prevent the victim's colleagues from all trying to help at the same time and from moving them. ➢ At least one person must accompany the victim to the healthcare center in order to learn the extent of the injuries and provide the medical staff with the information they need. ➢ The Project Management Team and Site Manager must be notified of the incident so that the communications procedure indicated in the organizational chart attached can be followed. What to do in the Event of an Emergency involving Overhead Electricity Power Lines: The following emergency situations are possible: ➢ Fallen Line. Nobody must be allowed to go near the danger area until a specialist has confirmed that the current has been switched off. Anybody in direct contact with an electricity power line must not be touched. In the event of it being a low-voltage line, an attempt must be made to separate the victim using non-conductive elements without touching them directly. ➢ Accident Involving Machines. In the event of contact between an overhead electricity power line and an excavation machine, transportation vehicle, etc., the following rules must be followed: Page 14 of 22 The Driver or Machine Operator must: ➢ Remain calm, even if their tires begin to burn. ➢ Remain at their control or within the cab, due to the fact that there they are in no danger of electrocution. Attempts must then be made free the machine/vehicle from the power line and take it to a safe area. ➢ Warn everybody in the vicinity not to touch the machine/vehicle. ➢ Not get off/out of the machine/vehicle until it has been removed to a safe distance from the power line. If the driver/operator gets off/out they enter an overhead power line - machine/vehicle-ground circuit and are therefore exposed to the danger of electrocution. ➢ Not use the habitual means of getting off/out if it is impossible to separate the machine/vehicle and absolutely necessary. Instead, they must jump as far as they possibly can away from the machine/vehicle and avoid touching it. General Rules of Action ➢ Do not touch the machine/vehicle or the fallen power line. ➢ Warn everybody in the vicinity not to touch the machine/vehicle or the power line and not to do anything reckless. ➢ Warn everybody outside the danger area not to come near the machine/vehicle. ➢ The victim must not be given first aid until the machine/vehicle and the electricity power line have been separated and pulled out of the danger area. What to do in the Event of a Gas Leak involving the Risk of Fire or Explosion: ➢ In the event of an uncontrolled gas leak where there exists a risk of fire or explosion, everybody must evacuate the area affected, the area must then be cordoned off and nobody apart from employees of the installation company must be allowed into the area in question. ➢ If a gas main is accidentally broken or there is a suspicion of a gas leak (sound, smell, etc.), the gas supply company must be notified immediately. What to do in the Event of a Broken or Leaking Water Main: ➢ The installation company must be immediately notified and all works halted until the main has been repaired. ➢ If necessary, the area must be cordoned off. ➢ C.5.-What to do in the Event of a Broken Underground or Overhead Telephone Cable: ➢ The operator must be immediately notified so that it can be repaired. Page 15 of 22 1.3.5. Heat Stress Your body cools itself by sweating - normally that works just fine unless the heat in your body builds up so much that your body can’t cool itself. This can occur when: ➢ You’re doing physical labor. ➢ You’re wearing gear. ➢ You’re in the sun too long. Know The Risks Environmental risk factors are the working conditions that create the possibility that heat illness may occur. Some things that can heat your body: ➢ Air temperature ➢ Radiant heat ➢ Air movement ➢ Conductive heat sources Some things that can limit how well your body can sweat and cool itself: ➢ High relative humidity ➢ Limited air movement ➢ Protective clothing and equipment that does not “breathe” Metabolic heat adds to your heat burden depending on: ➢ How hard you’re working in the heat ➢ If you are using personal protective equipment Personal risk factors are your characteristics that may increase your risk for heat illness: ➢ Younger people are less susceptible ➢ People in good health have less risk ➢ Alcohol, caffeine, and soft drinks increase risk of dehydration ➢ Water consumption lessens the risk ➢ Certain prescriptions can affect the body's water retention or have other effects What Can You Do? ➢ Acclimatization People need time for their bodies to adjust to working in heat – to acclimate. Usually, the first few days of hot weather are the worst, and then the body begins to adjust. You should be especially careful for the first 4 to 10 days – limiting work in the heat to two hours at first and increasing the time gradually or working during cooler hours. This is really important at the beginning of the hot season, if you’ve been away from work for a while (out sick, on vacation, etc.), or if you’ve just moved from a cooler area. Be especially careful during heat waves, and be sure to report any sign of illness to your supervisor. Page 16 of 22 Water ➢ It is important that you drink water and not coffee, tea, or soft drinks. If you’re working in the heat, you’ll need 3 to 4 glasses of water per hour to replace water lost to sweat. Be sure to start at the beginning of your shift, and don’t wait until you’re thirsty. By this point, you may already be dehydrated. Preventative Recovery Period ➢ Get out of the sun if you think you need to. Take rest breaks in cooler, shaded areas for at least five minutes. This “preventative recovery period” allows you to cool off and to drink some water to hydrate yourself. Medical Attention ➢ Heat illness can start with a headache, muscle cramps, and unusual fatigue. If you feel any of these symptoms, get out of the heat and tell your supervisor. Remember, heat illness can come on suddenly and quickly. You need to watch out for your coworkers when it comes to heat illness because they may not be able to help themselves. Signs of serious heat illness include: ➢ Unusual behavior • Nausea/vomiting ➢ Weakness ➢ Rapid pulse ➢ Excessive sweating or hot dry skin ➢ Seizures ➢ Fainting or loss of consciousness Any of these symptoms require immediate attention, and if you notice a coworker with these symptoms get him or her out of the sun immediately and notify your supervisor. If you suspect heat illness, get emergency medical assistance immediately. Call 911. 1.3.6.- Collective Protective Equipment Protective against falls. ➢ All area that have an expose edge of more than 6 feet must be protected with a railing system as per OSHA standards. Wheel chocks ➢ Can be made of two pieces of 3 in flanged wood fastened to the ground or a similarly effective system. Protection around excavation sites ➢ To protect against people falling into excavation ditches, railings will be installed around the perimeter of the excavation site at a minimum distance of 3 ft from the edge of the ditch. Railings Page 17 of 22 ➢ Railings will be used to prevent people from falling at heights of more than 6 ft above the ground if there are no nets or others protective measures in place. They must be resistant enough to keep people from falling. There are different types depending on what they will be used for: ➢ Wood railings: wood components shall be at least 1500 lb-ft/in2 fiber (stress grade) construction grade lumber; the posts shall be minimum 2 -in by 4-in lumber spaced not more than 8 feet apart on centers; the top rail shall be at least 2-in by 4-in lumber, the intermediate rail shall be at least 1-in by 6 in lumber. ➢ Pipe railings: posts, top railings and intermediate railings shall be at least one-half inches diameter with posts spaced not more than 8 feet apart on centers ➢ Structural steel railings: posts, top rails, and intermediate rails shall be at least 2-in by 2in by 3/8 in angles with posts spaced not more than 8 feet apart on centers. Lids ➢ Small openings on structural work or other constructions must be covered with wood or metal lids equipped with shims on the underside to prevent them from moving. Work platforms ➢ Must be at least 18 inches wide and those located more than 10 ft above a lower level must be equipped with guardrails between 38 and 45 inches high, midrails and toe boards. Skid- proof surfaces. Ladders ➢ Commercially available wood or metal ladders with upper support points exceeding 3 ft high and anti-skid ground plates, anchored at the top and positioned at an angle of 1:4. ➢ The assembly of prefabricated ladders on site is prohibited. Tubular metal scaffolding ➢ These structures are assembled and disassembled by specialized personnel following the manufacturer’s recommendations and issuing a stability certificate. ➢ Before they can be assembled, the sections of scaffolding which will house the working platforms must be perfectly level horizontally. ➢ Any scaffolding that is less than five metres wide must be anchored to stationary points on the structure or the facade. ➢ All work platforms on scaffolding must have stationary flooring at least 18 inches wide, with 38 to 45 inches high safety rails running along the outside of the scaffolding, provided that the scaffolding is located more than 10 ft above the lower level. Page 18 of 22 ➢ Although the scaffolding can be anchored to stationay points using equivalent to at least 1 in diameter first grade manila rope although a system of rigid connections is the preferred method. ➢ All sections of the tubular scaffolding are joined together with clamps and metal diagonals. ➢ Extinguishers ➢ The extinguishers must be adapted to the extinguishing agent potential size of the fire to be extinguished and must be checked periodically. Machinery ➢ All machinery must be equipped with the legally-mandated safety devices and protective elements when it arrives on site. ➢ Generators must be soundproof and may olnly be operated by specialized and authorized personnel. ➢ The engines and tracks of all self-propelled formwork and shuttering machinery must be grounded and must be checked periodically to ensure that they are in perfect working order. Only authorized personnel may operate such machinery. 2.0.- Terms and Conditions 2.1.- Medical Facilities First-aid kits must be checked monthly, replacing any times that have been used. All items in first-aid kits must be properly labelled. All bottles must indicate whether or not the contents are toxic. 2.2. – Protection of the Workplace Acceptable measures for protection ➢ 2.2.1 - Trench shield ➢ 2.2.2 - Sloping ➢ 2.2.3 – Benching ➢ 2.2.4 – Soil Types ➢ 2.2.5 - Railing ➢ 2.2.6 - Lifeline Competent person will indicate what safety measures will be taken after soil type is determine. Page 19 of 22 Sloping and Benching Page 20 of 22 Trench Shield Soil Types Trench shields (also called Trench Boxes or Trench Sheets) are steel or aluminum structures used for protecting utility workers while performing their duties within a trench and avoid cave-ins. They are customarily constructed with sidewalls of varying thicknesses held apart by steel or aluminum spreaders.
