APPENDIX F<br />

10.2.2 Housekeeping<br />

Clean work areas and storage areas encourage better incident prevention, and make the work<br />

easier to do.<br />

Dispose of trash and scrap in proper containers. This includes lunch papers, soft drink cans,<br />

banding straps, wood, rags, paper cups, etc.<br />

Keep tools, material, and equipment stored in an orderly manner, and in their proper places.<br />

This prevents unnecessary damage, and helps you to find them when you need them.<br />

Keep stored material, scrap, and other tripping hazards out of roads and walkways and away<br />

from emergency equipment. If it's in a walkway and it's not moving, it does not belong there.<br />

Cords, cables, and hoses crossing roads or walkways are to be covered to prevent tripping or<br />

damage, or are to be supported overhead, at least 7 ft above walkways, 14 ft above roads.<br />

10.2.3 Fire Prevention<br />

Control "open flame" tools and equipment.<br />

Protect nearby combustible materials from heat, flames, sparks, and slag by moving or<br />

covering them.<br />

Keep flammables in closed containers. Use safety cans.<br />

All site workers will have training on the use of portable fire extinguishers.<br />

10.2.4 Personal Protective Equipment<br />

Head<br />

Hard hats are required at all times on construction sites. They are also required at other locations where<br />

overhead hazards exist. Bump hats are not permitted.<br />

Eyes and Face<br />

Spectacle type safety glasses are required when hitting steel on steel, grinding, drilling, sawing, vibrating<br />

concrete, etc., or when working near someone else who is creating flying particles.<br />

Boots<br />

At a minimum, workers will wear steel-toe boots (not shoes, boots must be at least up to ankle, with steel<br />

shank and non-slip soles. They must be constructed or leather or other chemically resistive material.<br />

Suede and cloth is not acceptable.<br />

Safety vests<br />

For the protection of workers, and to make workers more visible, most safety plans require that workers<br />

wear brightly colored safety vests. Workers working near roads or other places where there is vehicular<br />

traffic must wear safety orange or lime green vests as required by code. During hours of darkness these<br />

vests must have reflective tape.<br />
