move at least 30 m (100 ft.) away. Do not make up charges during an electricalstorm nor while it is approaching. Wait 30 minutes after the storm has passed over.Do not load holes or go near the charges, or loaded holes until the storm haspassed.2) When you see an electrical storm approaching:a) lower the mast of the drillb) move the drills away from overhead power linesc) move all personnel away from the drills.3) Disconnect all lines from the recording instruments. Make sure all recording cablesand geophones are not touching fences. Disconnect all cable lines at as manyplaces as practical.4) If you are carrying hand-held, two-way radios, stop transmitting and either removethe antenna or walk with the antenna pointed downward, but not touching theground.5) Stay away from all flammable and explosive materials.6) Drop all metal tools, loading and survey range poles, pipe, or drill stems.7) Stay away from trees, power lines, cables (coiled or out on the ground) and fences.The lightning current can travel long distances along wire fence.8) Suspend grounded vehicle operations and move clear of the unit.9) Suspend small boat operations; get out of the water.10) You are safer inside a rubber-tired vehicle but park it in a low open area rather thanunder trees.Lightning conductors are recommended for metal structures that are not grounded.Explosive magazines made of metal should be grounded with a ground cable and metalstake or grounding rod.An approaching electrical storm will create static on AM radio stations. This can be usedas an indicator of potential lightning in the area. Lightning detectors are available.3.16 Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT)Crews may carry products known as Hazardous Material or HAZMAT, ranging frompaints and solvents to cleaning agents. Each Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) product isgenerally safe to use if the manufacturer's instructions are carefully followed. Mixing orcombining products or chemicals can often result in dangerous situations, which maycause harmful vapors, explosion, or serious eye and skin injuries.All Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) products should be supported by a Material SafetyData Sheet (MSDS) which lists critical information on a specific product or chemical,such as content, explosion/flammability rates, safe handling procedures, spill/clean-upinformation, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required and first aid measures.Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) training for employees who handle hazardous materialsshould be documented.Page 52 of 136
Correct Hazmat posters and labels must be posted in full view of personnel using orcoming near the hazardous materials. All waste materials must be disposed of correctlyas per the MSDS sheets. MSDS information sheets should be posted near the chemicalstorage space for review prior to using the product and kept on file in the crew office forquick access in case of emergency.3.16.1 BatteriesBatteries can be extremely hazardous if not cared for properly. Different types ofbatteries require different procedures for handling, charging, connecting and disposingof used or spent units.1) Battery storage areas, boxes and charging spaces should be well ventilated and keptfree of flammable products, explosive gases, open flames, electrical spark hazards,metal objects and portable power tools or lamps.2) Battery storage areas should not be used as store rooms for any material or productsand no unauthorized modifications or additions should be made to any electricalequipment or fixtures in the storage area.3) Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn at all times whenhandling or transporting batteries (rubber gloves, rubber apron, face shield orgoggles). An eye wash station should be located near the battery charging area forimmediate use in case of an accident. No smoking signs should be posted at thecharging area.4) Jewelry, watches, rings, etc., should be removed when working on batteries. A shortcircuit through any of these items will heat the metal object rapidly and cause severeburns. If rings cannot be removed, they should be taped with insulating material.5) All battery connections should be kept clean and tight to avoid sparking andoverheating. Insulation and/or guarding of all battery terminals and cables should bemaintained in good condition. Never short circuit a battery.6) All circuits fed by the battery should be switched off when the leads are beingconnected or disconnected. If a battery is in sections, it may be possible to reducethe voltage between cells in the work area and hence, the severity of an accidentalshort circuit or electric shock by removing the jumper leads between sections beforethe work is begun.Page 53 of 136
