Fire hazards are reduced because materials are properly stored, combustible materials are not piling up. In SITE & TEMPORARY SITE offices, exits are not blocked. Back injuries are curbed because material handling is minimized. Routine housekeeping activities shall be incorporated into all regular work practices.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

In terms of hazard control, personal protective equipment (PPE) is considered a method of last resort and shall not be used as a substitute for other reasonable measures which would result in the control of a hazard. Personal protective equipment is the last line of defense a person has against a hazard that may be encountered on the job. The proper use of this equipment may reduce or eliminate the extent of harm or injury and therefore its importance must not be under-estimated. It is critical that the appropriate personal protective equipment for the situation is used, and that: 9.1 PPE limitations are fully explained and understood by all employees. PPE is properly fitted for the individual; It Shall be ensured that the person using the personal protective equipment is trained in its use, care and maintenance; That it is regarded by the person using it as normal attire for working in that environment or with the particular hazard. SKIN, HANDS AND BODY PROTECTION

Clothes are a major line of defense against hazards on the job. Employees shall always dress suitably for work. Cotton or Wool clothing with full sleeves and long trousers/ coverall shall be considered as appropriate clothing for the SITE & TEMPORARY SITE. Clothing made of synthetic fibers which is readily ignited by or melted by heat or electric flash shall not be encouraged on the SITE & TEMPORARY SITE. Special body apparel may be required to prevent contact with: Noxious gas, liquid, fumes or dust. Objects that may puncture cut or abrade the skin. A hot object, liquid, or molten metal. Radiant heat.

Gloves are effective against most minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions and are recommended when handling sharp or abrasive materials. Specialized personal protective equipment for hazards includes: Finger guards. Thimbles and cots. Hand pads, mitts and barrier creams.

Specialized PPE specified by Material Safety Data Sheets for hazardous chemicals indicate what shall be required for safe handling of that specific hazardous material or chemical. This shall be applicable before working with controlled products.

Apparel of an employee must be of a type and condition that will not expose him to unnecessary and avoidable hazards. Where there is danger of contact with moving parts of machinery; The clothing must fit closely around the body. Dangling neckwear, bracelets, wristwatches, rings, or like articles must not be worn. Cranial and facial hair must be completely confined or cut short. Employees whose duties are regularly performed in areas and under circumstances where they are exposed to the danger of moving vehicles shall be required to wear distinguishing apparel or devices of highly visible material. EYE AND FACE PROTECTION

9.2

Eye and face protection shall be designed to protect the worker from hazards such as: Flying objects and particles. Molten metals Splashing liquids. Ultraviolet, infrared and visible radiation (welding).

This type of equipment may be classified into two types. 1) The first type, basic eye protection includes safety spectacles with side shields, mono frame goggles and eyecup goggles (as with some styles of flame cutting and gas welding goggles). Clip-on side shields must be used if they are not a built in feature of the spectacles. Prescription lens may be acceptable safety eye wear only if the lens provider has certified them as safety eye wear. In these cases, side shields must be clipped in place. 2) The second type face protection, includes chemical and impact resistant (plastic) face shields; metal mesh face shields for hot, humid conditions and chainsaw use; and welders shields or helmets with specified cover and filter plates and lenses. Basic eye protection should be worn with (underneath) face shields. Comfort and fit are important in the selection of safety eye wear. Lens coatings, venting or fittings may be needed to prevent fogging or to fit over regular prescription eyeglasses. Safety glasses should be cleaned daily or more often if required. 9.3 HEAD PROTECTION

Safety headgear is designed to protect the head from the impact of flying and falling objects, bumps, splashes from chemicals or harmful substances, and contact with energized objects and equipment. Safety hats must be approved to standards. The Safety Hard Hats must: Provide protection from impact to the side and back of the head.

Where a hazard of electrical contact is present, the worker must use a safety hat which is specifically designed to provide protection from this type of hazard. Safety hats must be adjusted to fit securely on the head. Where there is a likelihood of the hat falling off, or being blown off, chin straps must be used. All parts of the headgear must be compatible and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. If attachments are used with the headgear, they must be specifically designed for use with the specific headgear issued. Safety hats should be inspected before and after each shift. Any signs of wear or damage to the suspension harness, indicates that it must be repaired or replaced. Similarly, any damage to the shell indicates it must be replaced. A visual inspection of the shell should look for breakage, cracks, discoloration, chalky appearance and brittleness. The entire safety hat must be discarded if it was subjected to any penetration or significant impact. Safety hats should be cleaned using warm water and mild soap. Solvents, such as paint thinner, should be avoided because it can damage the material. They should not be painted. They should be stored in a clean, dry location. Although it does not have to be worn while a worker is inside a vehicle. Safety hats must be worn by traffic control persons at all times while on duty. FOOT PROTECTION

Safety is designed to protect where there is danger of injury to feet through falling or moving objects, or from burning, scalding, cutting, puncturing, slipping or similar causes. The following types of hazards require particular protective features which are incorporated into the footwear design: Safety footwear should always be laced up and securely tied to prevent a tripping hazard or the footwear from falling off. It must be maintained in good condition. Routine inspections should be completed to: 9.5 check for tears or holes in the leather make sure the steel toe caps are not exposed; and check the wear of the sole

HEARING PROTECTION

Where the level of noise is sufficiently intense, it will pose a potential hazard to the hearing of employees who are exposed to it for long periods of time. Too much noise exposure can cause a temporary loss of hearing, and, if the noise exposure is repeated too many times, the loss gradually becomes permanent. Where the level of noise in a workplace exceeds an average of 85 decibels over an eight hour shift. This standard may be proportionately pro-rated. For example, the maximum duration of unprotected

exposure for sound levels averaging 88 dB (A) is 4 hours; for 91 dB (A), 2 hours; and for 94dB (A), 1 hour. Similarly an unprotected person may be safely exposed to noise levels of an average of 82 dB (A) over 16 hours and 80 dB (A) over 24 hours. Where practical, it is preferable to reduce the level of noise at, or close to its source through the application of engineering controls. Administrative controls, such as limiting the amount of time an individual worker is exposed excessive noise through job rotation, should also be considered. The use of hearing protection is the method of last resort, but must be used where engineering and administrative controls are not feasible. Hearing protection is available in three general types: 1. Disposable ear plugs (made of pliable material, one size fits all but can only be used once). 2. Permanent plugs (must be fitted to provide a good seal but can be washed and reused); and 3. Ear muffs (when properly fitted and worn, generally provide more protection than plugs). 9.6 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Personnel are sometimes exposed to respiratory hazards generated by equipment, materials, or procedures such as spray-painting and welding. Although proper work practices and engineering controls may be used to reduce these hazards, often the only practical control is respiratory protective equipment. Protection is ensured not only by the respirator but also by its proper selection and use. To select the proper respirator for a particular job, the worker must know the characteristics of the hazard, the anticipated exposure, and the limitations of the equipment. Respiratory equipment should only be selected by someone who understands all three factors. Respiratory hazards may be present as: 1. Gas: Common toxic gases in construction are carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide. The SITE poses hazards of Chlorine and Ammonia gas. 2. Vapors: Vapors are produced by solvents such as xylene, toluene, and mineral spirits used in paints, coatings and degreasers. 3. Fumes: Welding fume is the most common type of fume in construction. Other examples include pitch fume from coal tar in built-up roofing and from diesel engines. 4. Mists: The spraying of paints, form oils and other materials generates mists of varying composition. 9.6.1 Dust: Dust is generated by crushing, grinding, sanding or cutting. Two common dusts in construction are fibrous dust from insulation materials and non-fibrous silica dust from sandblasting. 9.6.2 Controls Work areas must be ventilated to reduce hazards from dust, fumes, mists, gases or vapors. Where ventilation is not practical, workers must be provided with respirators appropriate to the hazard and be trained to use and maintain the respirators properly.

9.6.3 Respiratory protection falls into two major categories: A. The first is Air Purifying Respirators (APRs) which have particle (dust) chemical cartridges but no visor plate. The air is inhaled from the surrounding air but cannot replenish or increase its oxygen content. B. The second category is Atmosphere Supply Respirator, which includes self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), airline systems and protective suits that completely enclose the worker and incorporate a life support system. 9.7 FALL ARREST/RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

Full Body Harnesses are used to provide workers working at heights above ground a level of freedom to move and protection from falls. The SITE & TEMPORARY SITE Fall Protection policy requires that, where a person is exposed to the hazard of falling from a work area that is: 2 meters or more above the nearest safe surface or water; above a surface or thing that could cause injury to the person on contact; and above an open tank, pit or vat containing hazardous materials,

The person shall wear a fall arrest system. A guardrail, personnel safety net or temporary flooring may be used instead of a fall arrest system. Fall-arrest system shall consist of a combination of the following. Full body harness. Lanyard. Rope grabs. Lifeline. Lifeline anchor. Connectors.

All full body harness and lanyards must be approved by TSK. Full body harnesses must be snugfitting and worn with all hardware and straps intact and properly fastened. 9.7.1 Maintenance The following is only a guideline for maintenance, care and storage. All equipment used in a fall arrest system must be maintained to manufacturers specifications. Any equipment in need of maintenance must be tagged and removed from service. All hardware should be cleaned and lubricated with light oil. Store in a clean, dry location free of corrosives and harmful fumes. Store out of direct sun light. Clean synthetic webbing with a wet sponge. Use a mild detergent for more difficult stains. Equipment should always be dried thoroughly after becoming wet. Keep away from excessive heat. Lubricate parts as recommended by manufacturer.

9.7.2 Inspection Fall Protection equipment must be inspected by the user before each and after every use. A detailed inspection must also be conducted at regular intervals, (minimum yearly), by a competent person. Check shall be made for the following during inspections: Webbing: Examine all webbing on both sides from end to end. Flex webbing over fingers bending it to expose any signs of damage. Look for evidence of damage related to cuts, tears, abrasions, heat burns, kinks, knots, broken strands or excessive wear. Discolored, fused, brittle or melted fibers may indicate signs of damage from heat, paints solvent or chemicals. Lanyards: should be examined for signs of shock loading. Any piece of equipment that has arrested a fall must be removed from service, destroyed or returned to manufacturer for evaluation. Hardware: Evidence of defects or damage to hardware elements will require the equipment to be taken out of service. Cracks, sharp edges, deformation, corrosion, chemical attack, excessive aging or excessive wear should be examined. Check the metal wear at the base of the D-ring and make sure the D ring pivots freely. Check buckles to ensure that they are not bent or distorted and that they can move freely back and forth and engage correctly. All locking snaps and karabiners should operate smoothly. The latch (keeper) must close securely against the snap nose. Rivets: Make sure rivets are holding tightly and have not pulled through the webbing. Rivets should not be bent. Pitted rivets indicate chemical damage. Stitching: Make sure there are no more than two breaks in the thread or any stitch pattern. Grommets: Grommets must be tight, not distorted or broken. Check for corrosion, dents, sharp edges or cracks. Ropes and cables: Examine the rope from end to end, rotating it as the inspection proceeds. Rope must be free of knots and of consistent diameter. Look for discoloration, broken, cut, crushed, worn, or deformed fibers. Damage can be caused by chemicals, welding, painting and exposure to light or heat. Retractable lines: Check the wire rope life line for broken strands. The locking mechanism should be examined at different extended lengths to ensure correct operation. The hook should be secure on the line, in good condition and free to swivel. Check indicator button, where applicable, to ensure the unit has not arrested a fall.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, ASSESSMENT, AND CONTROL

Hazard identification and elimination is not only an inherent responsibility of supervision in providing a safe workplace for employees, but also requires employee involvement. As such, hazard evaluation and control shall be an on-going concern for all. It is the responsibility of everyone (management, supervisors and all employees) to identify, report, and correct, all possible hazards. Employees are particularly important in this process as they are in the best position to identify hazards in the workplace and day-to-day operations. Reporting hazards is a protected activity and no action will be taken against anyone for identifying unsafe conditions. Reports should be made to the EH&S Manager or supervisor for appropriate action. TSK has a procedure for conducting inspections of workplaces/jobsites for compliance with health and safety rules. The purpose of the in-house inspection is to identify hazards and unsafe practices before they cause an injury or accident. After completing jobsite or facility inspections, the person making the inspection will:

SAFE WORK PRACTICES

Safe work practices are ways of controlling hazards and doing jobs with a minimum of risk to people and property. Safe work practices are general in nature and can be applied to many different situations (i.e. use of ladders, hand power tools, etc.). General safe work practices procedures shall be designed to create a standard method of dealing with the specific situation when ever it comes up. This shall facilitate training, supervision and shall ensure employee protection from hazards. There may be written guidelines and methods for approaching and conducting work to prevent accidents and incidents.
