OHM RemediationServices Corp. HEALTH AND SAFETY PLANTo help minimize this hazard, low-voltage equipment with ground-fault interruptersand water-tight, corrosion-resistant connecting cables will be used on site. Inaddition, lightning is a hazard during outdoor operations, particularly for workershandling metal containers or equipment. To eliminate this hazard, weather conditionswill be monitored and work will be suspended during electrical storms. Anadditional electrical hazard involves capacitors that may retain a charge. All suchitems will be properly grounded before handling. OSHA’s standard 29 CFR1910.137 describes clothing and equipment for protection against electrical hazards.Electrical devices and equipment must be de-energized prior to working near them.All extension cords must be kept out of water, protected from crushing, andinspected regularly to ensure structural integrity. Temporary electrical circuits mustbe protected with ground fault interrupters. Only qualified electricians are authorizedto work on electrical circuits.Electrical work will only be performed by approved electricians. No electrical workshould be done on an energized circuit. Single phase electrical hand tools must beapproved by a recognized testing agency and all exposed non-current carrying metalparts must be grounded or double insulated. Electrical equipment cannot be used ifthere are deficiencies in the appliance, cord, and plug.10. Slip/Trip/Fall Hazards - Some areas may have wet surfaces which will greatlyincrease the possibility of inadvertent slips. Caution must be exercised when usingsteps and stairs due to slippery surfaces in conjunction with fall hazards. Use ofhandrails when climbing stairs will be enforced, and handrails will remain secureuntil the support itself is removed and lowered to ground level. Good housekeepingpractices are essential to minimize trip hazards. Safety belts or harnesses will berequired by personnel working four feet or more above surfaces, including manlifts.The work area shall be kept clean and orderly. Tools and debris must be picked upand placed in the proper place to prevent a tripping hazard. Walkways and gratingshall be kept in good condition. Spills will be cleaned up immediately. Personnelshall not walk or climb on piping, valves, fittings, or any other equipment notdesigned as walking surfaces.11. Ground Personnel - All ground personnel should be constantly aware of thepossibility of slips, trips, and falls due to poor and possibly slippery footing in thework areas. before crossing either in front of or behind a piece of heavy equipment,ground personnel will signal the equipment operator and receive confirmation beforemoving.OHM Pmject 16487SSHSP Hulth and Safdy Plan July 1995Infomation herein is proprietary and confidential and to bc used or released to others only with explicit writtep pcmission of OHM RanediationServices Corp.3-6
