Physical Hazards
While conducting field operations on foot, personnel must walk even during emergency
situations. Running greatly increases the probability of slipping, tripping, and falling. When
approaching the edges of ditches, ponds, or ravines/gullies, personnel should carefully examine
the edges while approaching. Certain activities present a hazard level that must be dealt with
on a case by case basis. These activities are not covered by this plan. Examples of such
activities are: confined space entry; moving of unknown drums or containers; and entering
excavations or trenches that are more than 3 feet deep. Should the Project Manager deem it
necessary to perform an activity such as those listed above, it is that person’s responsibility to
contact the Project Health and Safety Coordinator and request an addendum to this plan
specifying the health and safety procedures, training, and conditions necessary for undertaking
task. These activities are prohibited until this plan addendum is provided.
Temperature Hazards
Temperature exposure guidelines are located in Appendix D of the EnSafe Corporate Health and
Safety Manual.
