APPENDIX F<br />

SHSS will identify these confined spaces and will not allow entry into these spaces. If a confined space<br />

requires entry, the plan will be modified and approved per the amendment procedure described in this<br />

BWHSP.<br />

4.5.8 Fire and Explosion Hazards<br />

Atmospheric testing with a combustible gas indicator must be performed to determine the potential for a<br />

flammable atmosphere. A hot work permit must be issued to control the presence of equipment or<br />

operations producing open flames or sparks. Hot work permits are found in the Permitting Plan, Appendix<br />

H. Permits are issued by the Kirtland AFB Fire Department. The SHSS must establish a fire prevention<br />

and protection program by insuring that flammable materials are properly stored and that safe work<br />

procedures and rules are followed. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on a project site except in<br />

designated areas.<br />

4.5.9 Drilling<br />

A survey of the job site to identify overhead electrical hazards, potential ground hazards, and<br />

underground utilities must be performed before placement of the drilling equipment. MSDSs for drilling<br />

fluids must be provided to the SHSS before the start of work. Supervisors will ensure that a call has been<br />

made to New Mexico One Call, Inc (NMOC), (505) 260-1990, and an AF Form 103, Dig Permit has been<br />

completed.<br />

4.5.9.1 Housekeeping<br />

The drilling safety supervisor shall understand and fulfill the responsibility for proper maintenance and<br />

good "housekeeping" on and around the drill rig. These requirements include, but are not limited to:<br />

Provide suitable storage locations for all tools, materials and supplies so that tools, materials<br />

and supplies can be conveniently and safely handled without hitting or falling on a member of<br />

the drill crew or a visitor.<br />

Avoid storing or transporting tools, materials or supplies within or on the mast (derrick) of<br />

the drill rig.<br />

Neatly stack pipe, drill rods, casing augers and similar drilling tools on racks or sills to<br />

prevent spreading, rolling or sliding.<br />

Place penetration or other driving hammers at a safe location on the ground or secure them to<br />

prevent movement when not in use.<br />

Keep work areas, platforms, walkways, scaffolding and other access ways free of materials,<br />

debris, and obstructions and substances such as ice, grease or oil that could cause a surface to<br />

become slick or otherwise hazardous.<br />

Keep all controls, control linkages, warning and operation lights and lenses free of oil, grease<br />

and/or ice.<br />

Do not store gasoline in any portable container other than a non-sparking, approved container<br />

with a flame arrester in the fill spout and having the word "gasoline" easily visible. A hazard<br />

communication label shall also be placed on all gasoline cans.<br />
