tape will be utilized, where appropriate, for traffic control into/out of hazardous or restricted. Personnel<br />

will wear reflective, orange safety vests whenever working in and around vehicles and on all roads.<br />

Other requirements include the following:<br />

Whenever the operator leaves the operator’s position, the equipment will be turned off, unless<br />

the equipment must be kept running to perform required maintenance or safety inspection.<br />

(In which case, the operator will assure that the equipment cannot move by placing<br />

equipment in “park’, by setting the emergency brake or another type of brake, or by placing<br />

blades or pans to the ground or any other manufacturer recommended method to keep the<br />

vehicle from moving.)<br />

Blades and buckets on heavy equipment will be lowered during transport. Blades and<br />

buckets will be placed on the ground whenever the operator leaves the machine.<br />

Construction equipment (heavy equipment) has the right-of-way in field activities.<br />

All heavy equipment will have a reverse signal alarm (90 dBA) that operates automatically<br />

with backward movement.<br />

All equipment will have brakes and brake lights. Equipment operated in hours of darkness<br />

must have operating headlights.<br />

Personnel will not ride on or be on any equipment while it is in motion unless there is a seat<br />

or stand designed for a person to occupy and which has restraints such as approved seatbelts.<br />

Seatbelts and restraints will be used at all times when any equipment is in motion.<br />

10.2 Additional Safety Considerations<br />

The following is a list of precautions to minimize the possibility of injury-related accidents from<br />

occurring during field operations.<br />

10.2.1 General Information<br />

Be aware of your surroundings. Consider what you do in terms of the hazard it may create for<br />

others.<br />

Ask the SHSS if you do not know how or are in doubt as to the safe way of doing your job.<br />

No running at any time, except in extreme emergencies.<br />

Throwing of any object at personnel or equipment is prohibited.<br />

Minimum requirements on construction sites and in shop are long pants, a shirt with the<br />

shoulders covered, and good work shoes. Torn, ragged, or frayed items should not be worn<br />

because they can catch on obstructions or machine parts, or otherwise cause you to trip or<br />

fall.<br />

Know where emergency exits are, and how to get to them. Do not block them with material<br />

or equipment.<br />
