Revised 05/01/2016 Safe Removal of Injured Workers If an injury occurs on the job site, removal will occur according to the fall protection work plan. If an injury occurs on an elevated workstation, the employee should be hoisted down in a basket litter. Emergency responders will not use any site rescue equipment but will only use their own. Ensure emergency responders know that the injured employee is in an elevated portion. First aid procedures should be performed as the situation requires. If the area is safe for entry, the first aid should be done by a supervisor or other certified individual. HEARING CONSERVATION Protection against the effects of noise exposure will be provided, when sound levels exceed a time weighted average (TWA) of 85 dB over an 8-hour period, or for impulse/impact noise at or above 140 dB of any duration. Hearing Protection Efforts will be made to reduce noise and minimize exposures to high noise levels whenever possible. For areas where engineering (noise dampening) and administrative controls (limiting time spent in noisy areas) are not feasible, hearing protection is required. We have measured noise levels in the shop and they normally do not warrant hearing protection. Hearing protection is required however, when regularly using loud tools, or for loud impact noises. In the field, observe the customers posted hearing protection required areas. Earplugs and muffs should be maintained available in the job box. LOCKOUT/TAGOUT Procedures will be used to ensure that machinery and equipment are isolated from all potentially hazardous energy sources and are locked out before employees perform any maintenance or servicing where the startup or operation could cause injury. Employees authorized to maintain, service, repair, un-jam, or clean machinery in such a way that injury could occur if the equipment is accidentally activated, are provided with locks and tags for this purpose. All new equipment installed must be capable of being locked out. This plan does not apply to cord and plug devices when the plug is in the control of the person performing the service. Failure to use lockout procedures, or interfering with another's lockout will result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination. CONFINED SPACE POLICY A confined space is any area that can be entered, but is not designed for continuous human occupancy and has limited means of entry and exit. The quality of air in a confined space is the main concern. If the air contains an unsafe oxygen level, or if it is flammable ortoxic, the space is extremely hazardous. Other hazards that may be found in confined spaces include entrapment, engulfment, orthose presented by mechanical or electrical equipment. Common confined spaces in shore facilities include evaporative condenser sumps, tanks, hoppers, drainage trenches and sumps, and utility and sewer vaults. Common vessel confined spaces include tanks of all types.
