Site Specific Health & Safety Plan (HASP)
interrupters, grounding, extension cords, and tool inspection procedures; and employee
training and PPE requirements.
• Process Safety Management. At process sites where highly hazardous chemicals are
stored or used, comply with special considerations and process safety management
OSHA regulations.
• Traffic Controls. Control measures include warning signs, flagmen, traffic stoppage and
control, and unloading procedures. Internal traffic control plans should include ways to
restrict the number of vehicles on site, the flow of vehicles accessing the site and driving
through the site, haul roads, speed controls, subcontractor employee parking areas,
merging of site traffic with local vehicle traffic, pedestrian controls in traffic zones,
access by emergency and rescue vehicles and operator controls.
• Vehicle Operation. Although driving a vehicle may be second nature to many
individuals, there are many hazards and controls that need to be identified. Fatigue and
distractions are two hazards that many individuals do not think about on a regular basis.
Operating off-road vehicles such as an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) also require training.
• Work Near/On Water. Analyze work hazards on a marine vessel (i.e. barge, dredge,
pontoon boat, etc) or adjacent to (within 4 feet), in, or over water (including lakes, canals,
dams, treatment plants, water tanks, clarifiers, and reservoirs).
Exhibit 6-1 is a sample activity hazards analysis form. Exhibit 6-2 shows a training record to be
completed and kept on file for each activity hazards analysis.
6.3.1 Chemical Hazards
A table of potential chemical hazards at the Site and their chemical properties is in Table 6-1.
Chemical compounds at the Site may include, but may not be limited to, the listed compounds.
6.3.2 Physical Hazards
In addition to the hazardous substances potentially present at the Site, other physical hazards or
hazardous conditions may be expected during the course of performing fieldwork, including
excavation and data collection. As described above, these hazards include possible risks from
injury while working around heavy, stationary or moving equipment; slip, trip, and fall hazards;
excessive noise conditions; fire or explosion hazards; subsurface/excavation hazards; electrical
hazards; electric power line clearance; heat stress; and urban violence and stray animals.
The guidelines presented in this section are applicable to general types of equipment that may be
used during this investigation. Individual equipment types or certain specialized equipment may
require additional safety considerations or specialized training prior to its use. Should any
specialized equipment be required during the performance of a task, the SHSO will ensure that
operators receive appropriate training. The SHSO also will be responsible for ensuring that all
equipment is routinely inspected and that any piece of equipment considered unsafe is not used
until the unsafe conditions are corrected or repaired.
