Safety Information 2012 - International Paper

Franklin Mill
Safety Information 2012
1. Safety is the #1 priority for International Paper.
2. Emergency Alarm System- The plant siren system is tested on the first
Wednesday of each month at 9:00 AM. If the emergency siren alarms IP
personnel will dial 4711 to receive a recorded message at the guard house and
instruct everyone on action needed. Then you will hear an “All Clear” message
from the speakers. If you hear the “ siren and evacuate message”; conduct
emergency shutdown of your operations and evacuate immediately. Assemble in
the designated areas in the main parking lot. You will hear an “All Clear”
message from the speakers before you can return.
3. DO NOT use mill restrooms. We do not have potable water inside the mill.
4. Phones in the mill do not work.
5. Emergency Eye Wash and Shower stations do not work.
6. Follow elevator policy. Make sure your people treat the mill elevators gently –
no slamming or forcing doors; no overloading with people/materials. Materials
moved in the elevators cannot extend beyond the confines of the car.
7. Employees must sign in and out on the gate logs, even for fixed cost jobs.
8. We only have the Main Guard House entrance open for pedestrians. Tracker
trailers may get permission to enter at the back gate or at north gate by permission
only. They must lock the gates back immediately after entering.
9. Pedestrian walkways have been marked from the Contractor Lot to the Guard
House entrance. Pedestrians have the right of way in all locations of the mill.

13. We do not have air pressure mill wide. Mill air pressure is borderline even
during normal operations.
14. There will be power and water outages. Make sure you are prepared for them if
they occur in your work area.
15. Report any damage to mill equipment immediately. We need to get it fixed or
prepare for it prior to starting the mill up.
16. Mobile Equipment and Cranes/Hoists – Use trained and certified operators,
even during unloading/loading of equipment by rental sub-contractors.
Contractors are required to provide employee training certification for all mobile
equipment. We do not have to verify the training program, but need a list of
employees and equipment. Please check for obstacles and power lines, even
during unloading. A ground person trained to operate a lift must be present when
working on energized equipment, making a “hot tap”, or opening dangerous
systems from the lift. To use IP house cranes your operator must be checked out.
Contact Gary Holland at (757) 569-4194.
17. Medical – Site protocol is to contact the Guard House for all emergencies. The
guard will contact the IP HEAT Team and 911 Emergency Response.
18. Non-English speaking employees – You must have at least 1(one) bi-lingual
employee with the group at all times. Radio contact with a bi-lingual person is
not adequate.
19. Personal Protective Equipment – Starting a Guard House Gate –hardhat,
safety glasses with side protection, safety shoes, flashlight. Wear hearing
protection in noisy areas, posted or not – use the 5 feet guideline around
equipment. Dark safety glasses are not permitted in any building unless for
welding activity. If welding areas are inside buildings, you still need clear safety
glasses for walking to and from the job site. PPE should be worn in break areas
unless you have established a designated area approved by EHS.
20. Heat - There are jobs that will take place in areas of high heat. Make sure you
have plenty of water or sport drink available for your workers. Make sure they
get enough time away from hot areas to avoid heat related problems.
21. Railroads – Trains have the right of way. Do not move gates or block tracks
unless cleared with your contractor manager. Use blue flags and/or derailers
where required and get lockout instructions for these from your contractor
manager.
22. Vehicles – Trucks used to bring people to the job should discharge them at the
gates and return to the contractor parking lot If it’s got a seat belt, wear it when
the vehicle is in operation. Riders in the back of pickups must be seated on the
2

floor, not sides, and wear PPE until out of the gate. Drivers cannot use a cell
phone while driving.
23. All mobile equipment must have a horn.
24. Smoking – Designated Smoking Areas will be clearly marked with a sign and
painted boundaries. Locations shall have a covered fire-proof container, NO trash
can, one fire extinguisher, minimum of 35 feet from flammables and 5 feet from
any doorway. The quickest way to lose smoking privileges is to have a lot of
butts on the ground or trash other than smoking materials in the container.
25. Fall Protection - Check tie-off points ahead of the job starting, and make
provisions for cables, if needed. The rule says tie-off when you’re 4 feet or more
above a lower elevation or working within 6 feet of a drop off such as a roof edge.
However, be smart; also tie-off if there is dangerous material or equipment behind
or below you. Always tie-off ladders to keep them from slipping.
26. Confined Space – Work inside confined spaces requires safety harnesses and
lifelines, unless specifically exempted by our procedure. Hole watch is required
to wear an Orange Vest .
27. Scaffolding – Must be erected by qualified people and a tag left on the
scaffolding to verify that. Scaffolding must be inspected by a competent person
prior to each shift’s use to make sure it’s still safe to work on.
28. Barricades – Barricade areas around and below hazards your work might be
creating, but barricade only the area needed to protect people. Red Danger tape
barricades do not allow anyone to enter unless you are fixing the danger. Yellow
Caution tape barricades allow entry after you read the sign and identify the
hazards.
29. Hot Work – All hot work requires a permit unless you are in a designated shop.
Permits are good for one shift. All hot work requires a fire watch. Determine
before the work starts how long after the hot work ends a fire watch should
remain (minimum 30 minutes). Some jobs require 2 hours.
30. Safety Vests – Safety vests are required for new employees for 90 days and
when working in areas with frequent mobile equipment activity.
31. Bay Doors - Pedestrians are not allowed to walk through mobile equipment Bay
Doors. Mobile equipment is required to STOP , sound horn and proceed slowly at
all Bay Doors.
