T6 this end, every reasonable effort will be made in the interest of Accident Prevention, Fire Protection and Health Preservation. The Injury and Illness Prevention Program must include a system for communication "in a form readily understandable by all affected employees" on matters relating to occupational safety and health. The system must have "provisions designed to encourage employees to inform the employer of hazards at the worksite without feai of reprisal." Compliance includes: Meetings: Training Programs: Posting on a bulletin board: Written communications: A suggestion box or similar anonymous system for employees to notify employers about hazards: Labor/Management Safety and Health Committees or. "Any other means that ensures communication with employees." The successful operation of Sancon Engineering will depend not only on sales and costs, but also how safely each job is performed. There is no job so important--not any service so-urgent--that we cannot take time to work safely. I consider the safety of our personnel to be above job costs, and I expect your full cooperation in making our program effective. SinceJ3 Ri Helmuth, Project Manager 'I 3 •• EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES SUPERINTENDENTS: In effectively executing their safety responsibilities, superintendents will: I; Familiarize themselves with the safety program and ensure its effective implementation. 2.

SAFETY COMMUNICATION In order for our program to be effective in promoting safe practices and procedures, it is imperative that open lines of communication be established between supervisors, employees, subcontractors and the public. As part of the overall communication process, Sancon Engineering will: As appropriate, provide written and/or verbal communications to employees. Provide each new hire with a safety orientation. : C. Encourage employees to advise management when and where a potential safety hazard exists. SYSTEM FOR EMPLOYEES TO INFORM EMPLOYER OF HAZARDS: Encouragement of Employee Reporting The Company encourages and,' indeed, requires all employees to inform management (supervisor, superintendents, Safety Engineer, or other personnel) of any unsafe or hazardous condition when observed or discovered. No Discrimination for Employee Reporting / No employee shall be disciplined or discriminated against for reporting an unsafe condition to management or for correcting an unsafe condition. . . Employees shall report all unsafe conditions to their supervisors or other management personnel when observed or discovered. If an employee sees an employee or supervisor '1 violating the Company's Code of Safe Practices, he should report this to upper management or the Safety Engineer. . . . . SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING WORKPLACE HAZARDS: When an Imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately be abated without endangering employee(s) and/or property, remove all exposed personal from the area except those necessary to correct the existing conditions. Employees necessary to correct the hazardous condition shall be providing the necessary safeguards. Periodic workplace inspections to identify unsafe conditionsand work practices shall take place as follows: . • / When the Program is first established. Whenever new substances, processes, procedures Or equipment are introduced to. the work place representing a new safety or health hazard. .• Whenever the employer is "made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard". • . - •- . 8 1. • . . . Responsibility: The primary responsibility for hazard identification rests with project foreman. Informal evaluations should be conducted daily. The Superintendent at least quarterly shall conduct a wall-to-wall formal inspection of each phase of project operation. In addition to identifying hazards, he should focus on the adequacy of the assessments done by project foremen. All employees are encouraged to analyze their own job and work area for hazards. If an employee finds possible defects, these should be reported to his supervisor. Hazards shall be corrected if possible, and if not possible, personnel should be removed from the jobsite and hazards isolated. Record Keeping: Each JOBSITE SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT form and each SHOP SAFETY INSPECTION REPORT form shall be maintained for 3 years. Where there are conditions unique to a particular job or operation, which are not covered by the form, additional captions or comments are to be included. ACCIDENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Guidelines A written report is to be made promptly for an accident. If an accident occurs in the field, a copy of the "Supervisor's Report of Injury" should be given to the Safety Engineer within 24 hours. Also, if a serious accident occurs in the field, it should be reported immediately by phone. For all accidents that occur in the office, yard or warehouse, the Supervisor will immediately report it to the Safety Engineer or Management. Time Frames for Filing Reports 1. The new Worker's Compensation Reform Act of 1989 requires employers to furnish within one working) day the form "Employee's Claim for Workers' Compensation Benefits." This form must be given to the injured employee (or their dependent) by the Safety Engineer or Supervisor. A completed copy of this form is mailed to the insurance company within 3 days 2. The Safety Engineer is responsible for obtaining all necessary information to complete the form "Employer's Report of Occupational Injury or Illness". California law requires an employer to file this report within 5 days of every industrial injury. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTS •• • It is the policy of Sancon Engineering to carry out a thorough program of accident ivestigatión. Supervisory personnel will be primarily responsible for making an investigation of all accidents in their areas of responsibility. Accidents involving fire, death, serious injury, or extensive property damage will be investigated jointly by the Superintendent, the Foreman and the Personnel Manager. • •• The primary goal of the accident investigation program is the prevention of future similar accidents through the use of knowledge derived from the investigation. Additionally, the investigation will be used to prepare reports required by Federal and State law as well as the Worker's Compensation Insurance Carrier. These reports are critical in establishing the Company's and the Supervisor's liability under the law. When an employee is injured at work, the supervisor is responsible for taking emergency action to have first aid administered, to obtain professional medical attention as soon as possible and protect other employees and equipment. The supervisor must then begin to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The following procedures have been found to be effective when investigating accidents: GO to the scene of the accident at once. TALK with the injured person, if possible. Talk to witnesses. Stress getting the facts, not placing blame or responsibility. Ask open-ended questions. LISTEN for èlues in the conversations around you. Unsolicited comments often have merit. ENCOURAGE people to give their ideas for preventing a similar accident. STUDY possible causes - unsafe conditions and/or unsafe practices. CONFER with interested persons about possible solutions. 7. - WRITE your accident report giving a complete, accurate account of the accident. FOLLOW-UP to make sure conditions are corrected. If they cannot be corrected immediately, report this to your supervisor. PUBLICIZE corrective action taken so that all may benefit from the experience. In order for the Supervisor's RepOrt' to be effective, it should contain, as ,a minimum, .a detailed answer to the following questions: What Was the Employee Doing? - Explain in detail the activity of the employee at the time of the accident. What Happened? - Indicate in detail what took place, describe the accident, the type of injury, the part' or parts of the body affected and whether the employee was wearing appropriate safety equipment. • 0 What Caused the Accident? - Explain in detail the condition, act, malfunction, etc., 0 0 • that caused the accident. Remember that it is possible to have more than one reason or cause for an accident. 0 0 4 What Can Be Done to Prevent a Similar Accident? - Indicate corrective action to prevent recurrence. 10 ' SAFETY INSPECTIONS Company Inspections The Company requires inspections at new jobsites, whenever new substances, processes, equipment, or procedures are instituted or whenever new hazards are noticed. We also make periodic inspections of the general work areas and specific workstations. General inspection requirements are the responsibility of the Safety Manager. He shall insure that field and shop inspections are conducted on a routine and periodic basis. Reports of these inspections shall be maintained. - Employers are required to keep records of all scheduled and periodic inspections. These records will include: The name of the person conducting the inspection; Record of all unsafe conditions and/or practices identified; and The action taken to correct the unsafe condition and practice. Each Job site safety inspection report and shop safety inspection 'report shall be maintained for 3 years. Foreman Inspections Foreman are responsible for making daily inspections of the work areas, machinery, equipment, work practices and job sites of the employees under their authority. All non- 'compliance with the Company's Code of Safe Practices is to be corrected immediately. In the case of hazardous machinery or equipment, maintenance should be called. The machine shall remain shut down until it has been cleared for use by maintenance. ' Employee Inspections Employees are responsible for inspecting their work area and machinery for unsafe or hazardous conditions. Employees should immediately correct all unsafe conditions and report them to their supervisor, superintendent or other management personnel. If the supervisor fails to act upon a safety complaint, the employee should bring the matter to the attention of upper management or the Safety Superintendent. Employees may make anonymous reports. No employee shall be disciplined or otherwise discriminated against for reporting or correcting an unsafe condition Maintenance Inspections - - Maintenance employees will, as a matter of course, be vigilant to the safety considerations of any machine or equipment they are called upon to repair. Special Inspections In the event of an accident, illness or injury during work or at the Company's premises, the Safety 11 •- '- Engineer, jobsite Supervisor or other management representative shall make a complete S investigation of the incident and inspect the area or equipment involved. A report of the investigation and inspection shall be made.

Compliance with these rules is mandatory. Documentation will be made when the rules are distributed to new employees. Proper footwear and clothing will be worn at all time (steel toe boots, long pants, shirt and safety glasses). Hard-hats where required. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry or keep long hair in a down position where there is a danger of catching such articles in moving machinery. Horseplay, running, fighting or any activity that may result in injury will not be tolerated. Eye protection is required at all times. 5 Operate machinery with all guards in place. Tampering with safety devices is cause for immediate disciplinary action. Do not operate any machinery you are not.familiar with. Machines must never be cleaned, adjusted or repaired until after the machine is turned off, the circuit brOken at the power source (including lock-out) and warning tag is placed at the controls. Any defects in materials, machinery, tools and equipment must be reported immediately to a supervisor. Do not leave tools, materials or other objects on the floor, which might cause others to trip and fall. Do not block exits, fire doors, aisles, fire extinguishers, gas meters, electrical panels or traffic lanes. Avoid risk of rupture, internal injury or back injury in attempting to lift or push excessive loads. If an object is too heavy to move without strain--ASK FOR HELP. Observe the correct position for lifting. Stand with your feet slightly apart, assume a squatting position with knees bent and tuck your chin. Tilt head forward, grasp the load with both hands and gradually push up with your legs, keeping your back straight and avoiding any abrupt movement. Do not distract others while working. When approaching a machine operator for any purpose, do so from the front or side in a way that he or she will see you coming and will not be shocked or surprised. If conversation is necessary, make sure the machine is turned off. Do not allow oil, wax, water, or any other material to remain on the floor where you or others may slip. Report any spills to your supervisor. 16 / 15. When handling hazardous materials insure you follow prescribed safety procedures and use required safety equipment. When using secondary conditions filled by others, insure that they are labeled as to their contents and hazards. 16. Use appropriate gloves when' handling materials with sharp or jagged edges, which may result in lacerations. 17. 'Do not attempt to operate machinery for which you are not trained. 18. Unnecessary and excessive haste is the cause of many accidents. Exercise caution at all times' WALK, DO NOT RUN! 19. The use of hot production equipment or materials for the purpose of cooking or heating food is strictly prohibited. 20. All work related injuries and accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately to your supervisor. It is imperative that all employees become thoroughly familiar with the above' safety rules. Failure to comply with safety rules or procedures, or failure to wear the appropriate safety equipment, will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. CODES OF SAFE WORK PRACTICES (SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES) Housekeeping A high percentage of accidents are due to poor housekeeping practices. Periodic cleanups are not sufficient. Housekeeping is a continuous process. Some important elements of housekeeping are: Keep floors, stairways and landings, passageways and work areas clean of any obstructions that could create a fire or safety hazard. • Keep exits clear at all times. • 3. Allow sufficient clearance around mechanical equipment, H\TAC equipment and electrical panels. After use, materials, tools and equipment should be stored in their proper place. Remove and deposit scrap and debris in the proper containers. Do not overfill.. Store oily waste or rags and other flammable materials only in metal,-'receptacles provided for that purpose. Clean up oil, grease or any other type of spill immediately!! 8 Bend down nails in pieces of wood Preventing Falls • ' It is estimated that one out of every five disabling injuries is a result of a fall from either the same level or higher elevations. To prevent falls on the same level: • F. Avoid wet floors, oily floors, improperly placed, or. damaged floor coverings. Immediately clean up spills to prevent slippage. •. • • • • 17 / •• • 4. 2. Avoid congestion and keep doors clear of unnecessary material. 3. Ensure that your footwear provides good traction. 4. Watch for differences in floor elevation. 5. Use handrails where provided and avoid rushing. To prevent falls from high levels: I. Utilize approved conventional fall protection systems where practical for the work Always use a suitable ladder or step stool when climbing and avoid overreaching. Avoid standing on makeshift elevated platforms like boards between ladders, saw horses, worktables, carts and the like. Use caution when working on elevated platforms which have not been provided with guardrails. If no guard rails are present, an approved fall arrest system shall be utilized. / 5. Never use the forklift or lift truck to reach overhead unless using a man lift. 6. Never ride a forklift or lift truck. These vehicles were designed to accommodate the driver only. 7. Avoid jumping down from an elevation of more than four feet. 8. Utilize caution tape or personnel barriers/barricades as necessary to help designate potential fall/trip locations 9. For work along platform/tank edges, work shall utilize scaffolding from within the tank to access the upper edge. For work that cannot be performed using scaffolding, workers shall be tied off to an approved fall arrest system. ALERT YOUR SUPERVISOR TO ANY CONDITION THAT COULD RESULT IN A FALL! Hand Tool Safety Hand tools are safety devices, provided they are the correct tool for the job to be done and they are in good working condition. Defective tools and those used improperly can be extremely dangerous. For example: Slipping wrenches can cause falls from ladders: Loose handles on hammers and picks can cause serious head injuries People have lost eyes by using drills and chisels with mushroom heads. The following simple guidelines can contribute to the prevention of injuries involving hand tools: Use only tools that are designed for the job and are in good condition. Do not use a wrench in place of a hammer or a screwdriver as a chisel. Do not use splintered, broken, rough or loose tools. Replace them. Tools used for working around electricity must have insulated handles. Impact tools such as hammers, chisels, star drill pins and the like should be kept free of mushrooms. Do not use files without handles or wrenches without spread jaws. Make sure the jaws of all wrenches are adjusted tightly, before putting strain on the 18 . wrench. Use correct size open end or box end wrench. Do not use an adjustable wrench to loosen or tighten nuts. Sharp edged or pointed tools should be stored in a safe place. Do not carry sharp tools in your pockets. Use a tool belt if you do not have a tool chest. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, which was specifically designed for the job. Double check all tools before using them. Never use a defective tool.... turn it in! Power Tool Safety Power tools, whether powered by electricity, gasoline or air, require considerable skill and complete attention on the part of the user. The following guidelines can make working with power tools safer: It is imperative that the correct tool is used for the job it was intended and that it is used correctly. Keep tools in good working condition. Damaged or defective tools should not be used until restored to full operating condition. 0 Do not use tools until you are completely familiar with the operating instructions. Never operate tools without the guards. Inspect electrical cords or airlines for damage prior to use. Prior to setting a tool down, make sure the power is off and the motion has shopped. Disconnect the tool from the power source before changing drills, blades or bits or attempting any type of repair or adjustment.- Take special precautions when using powered tools while on a scaffold or other location with limited footing. Get a good footing, use both hands, keep cords clear of obstructions, do not overreach. A dull blade on a power saw has a higher tendency to "kick" back on the operator than one with a sharp blade. Machinery and Equipment The following simple guideline will contribute to preventing accidents involving machinery and equipment. Prior to operating any piece of machinery or equipment, complete instructions and permission must be obtained from the appropriate supervisor. Make sure all guards are in place before starting a job. Guards are in place for your protection and should never be bypassed or removed. Keep fingers out of the way of cutting edges and other exposed moving parts. Use a brush, special tool or hook to remove chips, shavings or other material from wok areas. Do not use your hands. Do not try to brake or slow down moving machinery with your hand or a makeshift 0 device. 0 • • Rings, bracelets, watches, loose garments or neckties are not to be worn when operating machinery or equipment. 0 - Safety glasses and/or approved eye protection is to be worn as prescribed, in all designated areas. • • 19 • Before cleaning, oiling or adjusting the moving parts of a machine, make sure it is completely shut down. S A lock-out on the power switch must be used while performing any maintenance work on machinery or equipment. Make sure any guards, which may have been removed during maintenance, are replaced. Fork Lifts - Forklifts shall be used only in a safe manner. Visibility is poor, therefore, slow speed should be the normal operation. Turning at rear wheels requires care to prevent injury to workers off the vehicle. Forks must be placed on the ground at end of use to prevent someone from walking into raised forks. EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN MOVING TRAILERS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO TRAILER HITCH. Air Compressors - Air compressors can injure hearing unless earplugs are used. Compressed air can puncture skin and can cause injury by flying debris. Always wear eye protection and do not disconnect air lines under pressure. Sandblaster - The blast from sandblast equipment can injure skin, eyes and hearing. All persons within 50 feet of sandblasting shall wear ear and eye protection. Sandblast operator shall wear full head air support helmet, long length gloves, and coveralls. Care must be taken in using only good quality, non-damaged hose. DO NOT DISCONNECT AIR LINES UNDER PRESSURE. Water Blasting - Extreme care must be used when operating the blaster. Safety equipment such as steel-toe boots, face shields, and heavy gloves shall be used. The jet from the nozzle can cause injuries similar to a shotgun blast. Changing of tips, guns or hoses shall only be done vith the blaster engine turned off. Care shall be taken, in handling the gun and hoses so as not to damage the protective integrity of the system. Damaged or worn hoses or guns shall be set aside and replaced with safe components. Any and all injuries caused from the water jet shall be immediately treated by a doctor. The first aid and hospital treatment procedures form should be taken along with the injured individual to the' hospital. This form shall be posted on the water blaster and removed when needed. ' High Pressure Airless Spray Equipment - Airless spray equipment is dangerous and must be operated with caution. High pressure can cause liquids to penetrate the skin causing chemicals to be injected into,, the body. The spray blast can cause blindness if directed at the eyes. Safety glasses and protective gloves shall be worn at all times when operating or performing maintenance or repairs to the equipment. Pumps must be disconnected and pressure relieved from the lines before disconnection of hoses or spray gun can be made. Any injuries which occur from the airless stream must be immediately treated by a doctor. ' Hoses, connections and gauges, which become faulty or worn must bereported to a responsible safety person. Ladder Safety Statistics show that a tremendous number of disabling injuries occur as a result of falls from ladders. These accidents are basically caused by: , 20 ' I . Use of unsafe ladders; or 2. Unsafe use of ladders. The following guidelines will help reduce the possibility of ladder falls. 1. Always use a ladder when you have to climb. 2. Set the base of the ladder a distance ofone-fourth of its length from the support. If necessary, the ladder should be blocked at the base and tied-off at the top. 3: Make sure that straight or extension ladders are equipped with the proper type of safety feet. '4. Always face the ladder when going up and down. Look up to check for restrictions or objects on which you might bump your head. Never lean sideways or overreach while working from a ladder. Do not use stepladders as straight ladders. Always open the stepladder and A-type ladder fully so that the spreader is fully extended. Electrical Safety These simple guidelines will help reduce the possibility of accidents. Ground all portable electric hand tools by using, a three-prong plug unless the tools are of the double insulated type. Inspect all extension cords for broken insulation. Keep them in good repair. Do not use metal ladders near electrical installations or whn working on electrical equipment. Check droplights before use. Make sure there are no breaks in the insulation, ascertain that it is properly grounded and that the plug, socket, and lamp. guard are in good condition. Ensure that electrical testing and repair equipment are in good operating condition. De-energize all circuits before working on lines.. Under certain conditions, low voltages can kill. Lock out and tag out circuits when repairs are being made. This way.others cannot re-energize them. " Ensure that there are no exposed wires, switches, junction boxes or control panels. Avoid using extension cords or overloading circuits. . Inform the job site superintendent immediately if you see electrical problems. Back Safety • . . An estimated 8 out of every 10 Americans will suffer a back injury during their lifetime. Of the 2.2 million injuries incurred on the job each year, 30% are back injuries. Protecting your back round-the-clock is your best insurance against back injury. To do this, you should: • • , .. • 1 Start with conditioning - Learn to reduce stress Additionally, a sensible diet in combination with a good exercise program will contribute to a healthier back. .2. Think before your lift.' . . .. •' • . • 21 • • Size up the load. If it is too heavy or bulky, get help. You may be able to find a better way by using a forklift or hand truck. C. If you must lift, make sure you have a clear path to your final destination. d. Arrange the workplace so that you or other workers don't have to repeatedly handle heavy loads or lift objects from the floor level. 3. Learn to lift properly: Get a firm footing Bend your knees. - C. Tighten your stomach muscles. Lift with your legs. Keep the load close to your body. Keep your back upright. Other safety guidelines are: Do not arch your back or twist during a lift. - Push instead of pull when handling carts. Elevate one foot when standing for long periods of time. Adjust your car seat so that knees are bent and your back is straight. If possible, split up the load. Take time to be safe. Material Handling and Lifting Almost 25% of all disabling injuries are the result of material handling accidents. You should: Use your head - check the load - check your path! Do not lift heavy or hard to handle materials by yourself. Get additional help or use a crane, hoist, or other lifting equipment. Lift operators and riggers must comply with the appropriate approved operator's manual. Check your path for obstacles and tripping hazards. Inspect the object you are going to lift. Make sure there are no sharp corners, nails, or other things that may cause an injury. Make a trial lift of the object to determine if you can handle the lift without strain. Firmly set your feet, somewhat apart, crouch as close to the load 1 as possible. Do not get into a full squat but bend your legs. Keep your back straight. Bend at the hips so you are centered over the load. The object is to do the work with your leg muscles and not with the weaker back muscles. Get a firm grip on the object by placing your hands on diagonal corners. If necessary, lift one end slightly to get a hand under it. To lift, straighten your legs and swing your back into a vertical position. In setting objects down, bend your legs and the trunk of your body at the waist. This will make your leg muscles and not your back muscles do the work. Keeping the legs straight and arching the back to set something down can result in injuring your back. Care should be taken when packing or unpacking boxes. Projecting nails in boxes, boards or barrels should be bent over or removed. Eliminate all other sharp - projections. 0 22 Cranes and Hoists Guidelines include: Only designated operators authorized by the superintendent/ supervisor are allowed to operate cranes. Lifting hardware, lines and runways should be visually checked prior to each use. Never swing loads over the heads of workers. Tag lines should be used to control loads when warranted. Never exceed the rated load capacity. 6 Check loads Just off the ground for stability before hoisting Never leave a suspended load unattended without securing it. Never allow loads, booms or rigging within 25 feet of energized electrical lines unless the lines are de-energized. Cranes and hoists should not be left unattended unless the motor is stopped and controls are in the OFF position. ,. Welding and Burning Only qualified individuals, familiar with the use of gas and' electric' welding 'equipment should be allowed to operate it. Before starting any welding or burning work, operators should take the following precautions: Ensure that cutting and welding equipment is in good operating condition. Ensure that the work area is clear of flammable or combustible materials. Ensure that combustible structures are shielded with 'flame-proof screens. • 4 Ensure that suitable fire extinguishers are readily available 5., Ensure that proper ventilation is provided particularly in confined space. • 6. • Ensure that welding flashes are shielded. . • '' ; • • Ensure that all parts subject to electrical current are fully insulated. • • Ensure that the ground return cable has a safe current carrying capacity equal to, or 23 exceeding, the specified maximum output capacity of the arc-welding unit it services. Ensure that proper personal protection is used including face shields, goggles, hand shields and protective clothing. Ensure that welding gas cylinders are properly stored. VEHICLE SAFETY All employees authorized to drive company vehicles, for any purpose must possess a valid California driver's license and have a driving record which is acceptable to the company's insurance carrier. Employees hired or placed into positions requiring the use of company vehicles will have their Department of Motor Vehicles (DMA) records checked by the company's insurance carrier at the time of employment or placement into these positions, and then regularly thereafter through direct notification from the DMV utilizing the Employee Pull Notice Program. Employees in these positions who are uninsurable or who become uninsurable (based on the standards of the insurance carrier) due to an unsatisfactory DMV record or whose driver's license are suspended- or revoked will normally be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination. Medical form for employee requiring a class 'A' or 'B' license will be retained on file. The responsible person of vehicle and equipment in tow is the driver. Drivers shall insure that his vehicle is safe for operation by inspecting the following before driving. Tires properly inflated Windshield and mirror clean and adjusted Load secured from shifting or falling off the truck The vehicle hitch secure and safety chain attached Running lights and trailer lights operational Truck and trailer surge brake operating safely Care must be taken while driving loaded trucks by allowing additional distance for stopping. When backing with trailers caution should include the avoidance of jackknife by allowing plenty of turn around space. Any employee under the influence of ANY drug or alcoholic beverage must not operate any vehicle. Personal use of company vehicles for any purpose whatsoever, is strictly forbidden without the expressed prior approval of management. Any mechanical defects should be reported to your supervisor for appropriate action prior to operation of a vehicle. You must immediately report to your supervisor any accident and any moving or non- moving violation you are cited for while driving a company vehicle. All employees operating company vehicles off premises, or their own vehicles on company business, are required to obey all traffic regulations. 24 DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES Employees who fail to comply with safety rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Supervisors will follow the normal disciplinary procedures as follows: 1: Verbal counseling - the first step. Must be documented in the employee's personnel file. Written warning -outlining nature of offense and necessary corrective action. Suspension without pay - the third step or a separate disciplinary action resulting from a serious violation. 4. Termination - if an employee is to be terminated, specific disciplinary action resulting from a serious violation. Supervisors will be subject to disciplinary action for the following reasons: 1. Repeated safety rule violation by their department employees. 2; Failure to provide adequate training to employees priorto job assignment. 3 Failure to report accidents and provide medical attention to employees injured at work 4. Failure to maintain good housekeeping standards and cleanliness in their department. 5 Failure to control unsafe conditions or work practices Supervisors who fail to maintain high standards of safety within their department will be demoted or terminated after three documented warnings have been levied during any calendar year. TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION : • The goal of our safety-training program is to develop safe work habits and attitudes. It is critical that new workers understand work rules and procedures prior to being assigned a job. This training also includes supervisor, job foreman training and periodic supervisor/management meetings The Safety Manager is responsible for providing safety training to their department employees utilizing the Job Instruction Training (JIT) method described below. This Program must provide training and instruction: I When first established. To all new employees. • •• To all employees given new job assignments for which training was not previously received 4. Whenever new substances are introduced to the work place that represent a new •: hazard or whenever the employer is "made aware of a1 new or previously 25 • 7 •• •• •• unrecognized hazard". 5. For all supervisors to familiarize them with the safety and health hazards to which employees under their immediate direction may be exposed. HOW TO GET READY TO INSTRUCT Have a Timetable How much skill you expect them to have, by what date. Break Down the Job List important steps, pick out the key points. (Safety is always a key point) Have Everything Ready The right equipment, materials and supplies. • Have the Workplace Properly Arrangd Just as the worker will be expected to keep it JOB INSTRUCTION TRAINING (JIT) HOW TO INSTRUCT 1. Prepare - Put the worker at ease. Define the job and find out what is already - known about it. Get the person interested in learning the job. Place in correct position. Present - Tell, show, and illustrate one IMPORTANT 'STEP at a' time. Try Out Performance - Have person do the job-correct errors. Have person explain each key point to you as the job is done again. Make sure' the person understands. '\ ' Continue until YOU know the person knows. 4. Follow-Up - Put them on their own. Designate to whom 'to go for help. Check ' frequently. Encourage questions. Taper off extra coaching and close follow up. Safety is always a key point. The fundamentals of safety practices will be reviewed prior to a new employee's first job assignment. Our safety orientation checklist will be utilized to document this training. EACH INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE NEEDS TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING: ' • No employee is expected to undertake ajob until he has received instructions on how to do it properly and has been authorized to perform that job. No employee should undertake a job that appears to be 'unsafe or use chemicals 26 1• without understanding their toxic properties. Mechanical safeguards must be in place and must stay in place. Each employee is expected to report all unsafe conditions encountered during work. Any injury or illness suffered by an employee, even a slight one, must be reported at once.' The Company has a safety and health program in place, and the Company is willing to keep improving the program Safety Training Needs to Be an On-Going Process At a minimum, documentation shall consist of the date of the training, the project identification, the name of the individuals being trained, the name of the trainer, and a summary of the training provided. 'To the greatest extent possible, the safety incentive program should reinforce any training provided. TAILGATE SAFETY TALKS FOR CONSTRUCTION Introduction Brief safety talks performed by the supervisor or job foreman with the job employees, on a regular basis, are essential in maintaining a high level of safety awareness. This is particularly true of the construction trades because of their high rate of injuries. For the construction trades CAL/OSHA requires "tailgate" safety meetings to be held at least every ten working days. Read the talks to yourself before the meeting and think about the important points. When giving the talk, put the ideas into your own words, if you can. otherwise read but try not to • sound to mechanical. In any case, try to relate to the topic to the specific job they happen to be working on. Involve the crew in the discussion to keep it lively and interesting.- Same other tips to make the talk more effective: Don't have them on the employees' own time. Make them brief-- 5 to 10 minutes. • 3 Keep it focused on one subject 4. If possible, demonstrate an object. Hold it up or have the crew gather around it. Each contractor is urged to give "tailgate" safety talks on all of the hazards peculiar to their operations. 27 ° HAZARDOUS ENERGY CONTROL PROGRAM (LOCKOUT TAG-OUT PROCEDURES) Policy Fl Equipment should be properly and uniformly locked out and tagged whenever it is down for any reason, in order to protect the exposed employees from inadvertent equipment operation and potential harm. C Purpose The purpose of this section is to provide a safe method for rendering inactive any electrical equipment or operating systems (including mechanical or piping) when equipment Cis down for any reason, such as repair, removal or replacement. This procedure is provided in an effort to identify certain LOTO procedural elements. The Subcontractor's or other Agency's program may not exactly follow this procedure; however, 'the basic elements shall be available to protect all employees from the potential hazards A JSA is required and must be - 'reviewed and accepted by the Sancon Safety Manager prior to the start of work. Responsibilities When needed, the Subcontractor or other Agencies are responsible to assure that a LOTO procedure is put in place in their area of work. The Project Manager is responsible to ensure that all construction employees are trained and familiar with and use the procedure wherever it applies. All employees are responsible to be aware that a LOTO Program is in effect and the specifics of the Subcontractor's or other Agency's program. Anyone who may be exposed to the sudden release of çnergy or materials will be familiar with and abide by the established LOTO procedure. . If an employee observes a safety problem, he/she will notify their Supervisor, the Subcontractor or other Agency responsible for the area safety. Implementation A LOTO procedure should include five basic phases of work on any system: (1) shutting down equipment, (2) Verify energy is released (3) repairing or installing equipment, (4) Removal of LOTO devices (5) startup of equipment. It is 'likely that some situations will not include all three phases as such; however, regardless of the operation and the phase or phases involved, the "lockout/tag-out" clearance procedure must be observed to assure the safety of the operation. Even though this procedure generally provides for locking and tagging oequipment, the 11 danger tag alone is to be considered and inviolable device and any equipment bearing such a tag must not be operated under any circumstances. Also, locks must be used in conjunction with a tag to afford maximum personnel protection. Prior to starting any major operation, which would involve these locking and tagging 28 • • procedures, a meeting shall be set up by the supervision, employees and inspectors involved. The project's safety personnel shall attend this meeting. A specific procedure will be adopted and reviewed by all concerned with the operation, prior to commencement of work. Materials and Hardware Sancon shall provide accidental prevention signs, tags, padlocks, seals or other similarly effective means, which may be required for cleaning, servicing, adjusting, repair work or setting-up operations. Signs, tags, padlocks, and seals shall have means by which they can be readily secured to the controls. Tagout device attachment means shall in a non-reusable type, attached by hand, self-locking, and non-releasable with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50 pounds. Shutdown and Repair of Equipment or Systems All personnel, before working on equipment should assure that: Others are not working on the piece or system, and if others are working on it, that this procedure will not endanger any personnel or the equipment. Equipment is not under pressure, energized, at elevated temperature or otherwise unsafe to be worked upon. Others adjacent to the work area are not endangered. Before starting work, the supervisor shall contact the designated supervisor (responsible for the equipment or system). This supervisor will show him the devices that require tagging; i.e., switches, starters, valves, lockout controls, etc. This will be accomplished by using an approved danger tag and lock. The main disconnect shall be opened in addition to any remote control switches. On electrical work, it is advisable as a further precaution for the electrician to remove the supply fuses. On piped systems, the main valves shall be closed and pressure relieved. The supervisor shall make sure that the equipment or system is inoperative. After assuring himself that the equipment has been properly shut down in accordance with the procedures described above, the supervisor and employees involved in the. work shall positively, determine that the equipment or system has been locked and tagged. Each employee will place his/her own tag and lock on the switch or valve. A distinctive danger tag and lock (when possible) will be attached to each device: This tag shall be dated and signed by the individuals doing the work. A short explanation of the reason for the fag hould appear in the provided spaces. Only. authorized personnel will repair specific equipment with system danger tags. • If mechanically possible, a padlock (to which only the employee placing the lock shall have access to keys) shall be placed on equipment in such a manner as to render operation of the . equipment impossible. • • . •• • Starting Up Equipment or Systems • • •• • 29 • • • • As soon as the work is completed, the danger tags and locks shall be removed pnly by the individuals installing them. - In the event the shift ends before the work is completed, the status of the work is to be reported in detail to the oncoming shift personnel and the tags and locks on the system replaced by the oncoming shift personnel. Upon completion of the work, Sancon, the Subcontractor or Agency supervisor will make certain all tags and locks have been removed and personnel are clear of the equipment or system. The equipment will be returned to normal operating conditions. General In an emergency, or if the person who placed the tag and lock is not available the Lock and Tag Removal Procedure established by Sancon, the Subcontractor's or other Agency's LOTO procedure will be implemented. Inspection An independent annual periodic review/inspection of authorized employees will be conducted to ensure that they are implementing LOTO procedures properly and that they are familiar with their responsibilities under those procedures. The periodic reviews/inspections are intended to identify and correct any deviations observed. An independent authorized employee will perform the periodic reviews/inspections. The work of all authorized employees will be reviewed/inspected by another authorized employee each calendar year. Subcontractors and Host Employers Whenever outside servicing personnel (sub-contractors) are to be engaged in activities covered by this section, the employer's lockout or tagout procedures shall be followed. When working for Host Employers, Sancon will be using their Hazardous Energy Control Program if applicable. Training All authorized employees will receive the Initial Control of Hazardous Energy course. A refresher C9ntrol of Hazardous Energy course will be provided annually for those employees whose job duties require them to continue to perform as an authorized employee. Initial training will include the following topics: Recognition of hazardous energy sources The type and magnitude of energy at the District • Methods for isolation and control of the energy Lockout/tagout procedures •. The difference between lockout and tagout Application of Red Tags - • Limitations of tags as energy control devices The requirements of Title 8, Section 3314, Cleaning, Repairing,Servicing and Adjusting Prime Movers, Machinery and Equipment Refresher training will be conducted annually by the Safety Division on topics related to Control of Hazardous Energy. Records of Training Authorized employee training records include employee name, instructor name, and training date. The records for affected employees include the employee's name, safety meeting date, and instructor. Employee training records are maintained in the Sancon Master Training Record and keep on record for five years. -I / 31 • M -S CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PROGRAM PREFACE: Many of Sancon Engineering's jobs are spaces that are considered "confined" because the configuration of the spaces hinders the work activities of employees who must enter, work in, and then exit these spaces. A confined space is legally defined as a space that meets the following definition: - Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; Has limited or restricted means for entry and exit; and, is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Recogiize that for a space to be identified as a confined space, it must meet all three of these criteria. - The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Labor, published Standard 29 CFR, Section 1910.146 - Permit-Required Confined Spaces to protect workers who must enter these spaces in the performance of their work activities. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA), Department of Industrial Relations, published Title 8, General Industry Safety Orders, Section 5157 - Permit-Required Confined Spaces as a standard to protect workers from the inherent hazards associated with confined space entry as well. ( The OSHA Standard, which mandates certain performance based criteria for Permit- Required Confined Space entry, requires employers to establish a Permit-Required Confined Space Program; furthermore, the standard requires employees to abide by the policies, practices, procedures, and rules governing the established Permit- Required Confined Space Program. S AUTHORITY ) Sancon is committed to providing'a safe and healthful work environment for all employees. The Permit-Required Confined Space (PRCS) program is a critical element in the success of the Sancon's overall safety program. Whild the exact number of annual deaths and injuries related to PRCS entry is unknown, industry experience bears proof that failure to comply with and follow PRCS policies and procedures may result in serious and/or fatal accidents. Compliance with PRCS policy and procedures is crucial to the safety of Sancon's employees and contractors. The importance of following the PRCS program must be understood by all employees charged with the responsibility of working in and around permit-required confined spaces. Sancon's PRCS program has been developed to provide our employees and contractors with safe methods for working in and around permit-required confined spaces. S . APPLICATION Sancon's PRCS program is concerned with the protection of. employees whose job responsibilities require them to work in and around confined spaces. The hazards encountered andassociated with entering and working in confined spaces are capable of causing serious injury to workers. To effectively protect our employees and manage confined space hazards, the following must occur: 32 . • Continue to develop the knowledge, skills and abilities of affected staff to recognize the diverse nature of existing or potential confined space hazards and methods available to eliminate or control those hazards. Ensure the development and use of appropriate confined space entry procedures. Develop appropriate 'methods to manage our contractors to ensure they are protecting their employees and not putting Sancon's personnel at risk. Ensure the proper implementation of the PRCS program. Sancon has developed the PRCS program in accordance with Cal/OSHks Permit-Required Confined Space standard (8CCR, Section 5157) and best industry practice. The application of the required practices and procedures to protect employees from the hazards of entry into permit- required confined spaced has also been included in the program. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: CONFINED SPACE CLASSIFICATION A critical element of a confined space program is a mechanism for classification and evaluation of a suspect confined space area. During the initial evaluation, the suspect space must be treated as a permit-required confined space and accessed as defined in the elements of this program. A permit-required confined space (permit space) has one or more of the following characteristics (reference the Definitions Section of this document) Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing the entrant Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor that slopes. Contains any other recognized serious health hazard (e.g., hazardous energy, noise, fall, slip/trip-to be determined by the entry team). HAZARD RECOGNITION/IDENTIFICATION.JOB PLANNING Appropriate PRCS controls, work practices and employee protective equipment (if applicable) cannot be implemented until all possible hazards within the space are identified. Prior to initiation of any PRCS work, the entry team will evaluate the known and potential hazards associated with a specific entry. The participants conducting the evaluation shall consist at least of the entry supervisor. The attendant and the direct supervisor of the entrant may also be utilized to gather information regarding the hazards related to a specific entry. Use all of the elements of the entry permit and the Job Hazard Analysis form to assess the possible hazards that may exist as a result of the assigned scope of work. Issues that may be addressed include, but are not limited to: Previous materials stored in the space. Materials taken into the space (e.g., solvents, corrosives, etc.) Planned work practices that may contribute to the generation of hazards (e.g., hot work, cleaning, inerting, etc.) Space configuration hazards (e.g., restricted spaces, slopes, size/location of the space 33 openings and dead ends). Hazardous Energies like chemical, hydraulic, pneumatic, gravity, thermal, electrical, radiation and mechanical energies associated with the space. Physical hazards (e.g., noise, heat/cold, vibration and light)• Chemial hazards including the type of contaminants (known and potential), routes of entry and symptoms of exposure that could be manifested by exposed personnel. . Other atmospheric hazards such flammable and oxygen deficient/enriched environments. Conditions outside the space that may contribute to or add to the hazards within the PRCS (e.g., vehicle traffic, weather conditions and engulfing materials). All hazards identified will be documented in the confined space entry procedure and on the entry permit. The entry procedure must also specify the engineering controls, work practices and/or protective equipment to be used to control or eliminate the hazards identified for the specific entry. Details of the evaluation shall be reviewed by the entry team as part of the tailgate meeting prior to entry and documented on the entry permit. Should an unanticipated hazard arise during any part of the entry, the space will be immediately vacated, the entry team will conduct an assessment of the situation and the entry supervisor shall determine if the entry will continue. If the entry permit is cancelled, the entry supervisor shall document the reason for the cancellation PRCS PREPARATION When all existing and potential hazards within a confined space have been identified, appropriate preparation of the PRCS shall be conducted by the entry team. During the entire preparation phase, the entry supervisor shall review and approved all activities being performed. The confined entry procedure shall outline the following elements for each entry Scope of work. Job location. • • Recognized and potential hazards associated with the scop of work and controls/work practices incorporated to reduce or eliminate the hazards. Specialized equipment: work and safety related equipment must be listed separately. 1 Rescue Plan HOT WORK PREPARATION For the purposes of PRCS entry, hot work can involve grinding, cutting, welding, brazing or soldering, heating or other operations that generate heat, flames, arcs, sparks or other sources of ignition. • • When identifying hazards associated with hot work in confined spaces, it is important to evaluate the 'following: type of hot work to be performed; site preparation; atmospheric conditions; and, firefighting equipment. 'Evaluating the type of hot work to be performed ahead of time will assist in identifying the specific hazards relative to the type of hot work performed and the use of the appropriate' personal protective equipment. •, ' ' ' ' ' " ' 34 • ' : • ' ' -:•_, ' ' Site preparation should include a survey for the following: combustible materials; hazards posed by heat transfer; flammable, corrosive, or toxic residues; equipment linings; appropriate lockout/tagout application; and, housekeeping. As part of the standard practice for a PRCS entry, the atmosphere is monitored for Lower Explosive Limits (LEL). LEL must be maintained below 10% for confined space entry to occur or continue. The same is true for hot work performed in, around, or adjacent to a permit-required confined spaces. The hot work shall not be performed if the LEL is not maintained below 10%. HAZARD CONTROL Proper planning of a PRCS entry requires not only identifying the hazards (recognized and potential) related to the entry, but implementing a feasible control strategy for each. The following sections will detail several important hazard control strategies. It is important to note that this in only guideline and the entry team must evaluate each PRCS individually. All hazard control strategies must be documented in the confined space entry procedure and the entry permit. VENTILATION • Mechanical veitilation of a PRCS is accomplished by continuously moving fresh air from a clean source through the space. This may be done by forcibly blowing air into the space and, if necessary, exhausting air out of the space. Mechanical vent Mechanical ventilation of a PRCS is accomplished by continuously moving fresh air from a clean source through the space. This may be done by forcibly blowing air into the space and, if necessary, exhausting air out of the space EXPLOSION PROOF/SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT Flammable gases and vapors can exist in a PRCS. The following are examples of ways in which this can occur: through threaded connections and gaps between mated surfaces, as a result of expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, by taking hazardous materials into spaces, and through the degradation of organic materials. To prevent the ignition of these gases and vapors, explosion-proof equipment may be used as a precautionary measure; in addition to explosion-proof equipment, intrinsically safe equipment and spark-proof tools can also be used as precautionary measures. Additionally, a variety of other different types of specialized equipment are available to ensure safe entry into a PRCS. Examples include but are not limited to: Atmospheric monitoring Equipment Personnel Protective Equipment Communications Equipment (e.g., radios) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) Low-voltage Lighting Rescue equipment like a mechanical retrieval device Mechanical Ventilation Units In any case, the need for this type of equipment should be identified in the confined space entry procedure. Additionally, the entry team shall receive training on the proper use of any specialized equipment prior to entry. 35 CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY During a PRCS entry, entrants may be exposed to the following forms of hazardous energy: electrical, mechanical, chemical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, gravity, and radiation. These hazards should be identified in the confined space entry procedure. To protect employees from these potential hazards, the elements of Sancon's Hazardous Energy Control Program must be implemented as part of the entry. When it has been determined that the Hazardous Energy Control Program must be applied for the safety of the entrants, a procedure must be developed, to ensure that the hazardous energy is either eliminated or controlled. The hazardous energy control procedure should be attached to the written job plan. PROTECTIVE BARRIERS When a PRCS entry covers are removal of any kind of access hatch, to facilitate entry, the opening shall be guarded by railing, temporary cover, or other temporary barrier. This will prevent an accidental fall through the opening and will protect the entrant from foreign objects entering the space. TRAFFIC/PEDESTRIAN CONTROL When a PRCS entry covers are removal of any kind of access hatch, to facilitate entry, the opening shall be guarded by railing, temporary cover, or other temporary barrier. This will prevent an accidental fall through the opening and willprotect the entrant from foreign objects entering the space. Protection from traffic/pedestrian hazards can be provided through the use of effective traffic control devices. Traffic control devices can control the hazards posed by vehicular traffic, but they cannot eliminate them. It is important to pre-plan the work site for traffic control device placement and use work vehicles and natural barriers as protective devices to the fullest extent possible. Use recommended traffic control references such as the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (M1JTCD) or the "Work Area Traffic Control Handbook" (WATCH Manual). PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Head protection: Hard hats shall be worn whenever the potential for head injury exists. They are intended to provide protection from impact and penetration by falling objects and bumps into stationary objects. In addition, hard hats afford some protection from splash hazards and electrical hazards. If possible, these hazards should be controlled or eliminated prior to entry into a PRCS. Remember, hard hats are nothing more than a barrier between the entrant and the hazard. Eye and Face Protection: Work activities can expose the eyes to a variety of hazards, which can include the following: flying objects, hazardous materials splash, dusts, injurious light, etc. There are different types of eye protection available. Selection of the appropriate eye protection depends upon the actual work to be performed and the hazard potential presented by the job and location. Available eye protection includes: safety glasses, goggles (eyecup and cover-type styles), directly ventilated goggles, and indirectly ventilated goggles. Welding operations require the use of appropriate eye protection as well. Work activities can also involve work activities that require protection of the face from similar hazards that are posed to the eyes. Face shields are used to protect the workers face and neck. Welding operations may also require the use of face & head protection in the form of a welding helmet. Eye protection should be used in conjunction with face protection. Selection of the proper personal protective equipment depends upon the work activities performed and the hazards present in the permit-required confined space. 36 Hand: Hands and fingers can be exposed to a number of different hazards during a PRCS entry. Examples of potential hazards can include cuts, scratches, bruises, bums, and chemical exposures as well as others. During the preparation phase of each entry, these hazards must be identified. In addition, the appropriate type of protective glove should be used for the type of hazard(s) present. Foot: The type scope of work in the PRCS will also dictate the appropriate foot protection required for the entry. Hazards with potential for compression, impact, puncture, chemical exposure, etc. will have to be evaluated, and selection of foot wear will be based on the hazard(s) present. Respirators: Hazardous atmospheres in a PRCS can be present because of a number of different factors. For example, the atmosphere in the space may be inherently hazardous or the work practices and/or materials introduced into the space may cause an impact on the work environment. Whatever the reason, atmospheric hazards in a PRCS should be reduced or eliminated whenever possible. While preparing the confined space entry procedure, potential atmospheric hazards must be identified and appropriate controls will be evaluated to reduce/eliminate the hazard(s). In those cases, where the hazardous atmosphere cannot be reduced to an acceptable level or eliminated, the proper respiratory protection will be identified for use by the entry supervisor. There are two general categories of respiratory protection available for use: air purifying devices and air-supplied devices. Hearing Protection: While preparing the confined space entry procedure, the potential for elevated noise levels must be evaluated. It is important to remember that low noise levels associated with work activities that are performed in open areas may become hazardous noise levels when those same work activities are performed in a PRCS. There are two types of hearing protection devices available at the Shop: ear-muffs and earplugs. Body: Full-body protection may be required for authorized entrants during entry into a PRCS. Full-body protection may be necessary to guard against exposures like the following: heat and cold stresses; chemicals, hazardous materials handling and biological contaminants. Again, as part of preparing the confined space entry procedure, the specific hazards associated with the space will be evaluated and the necessary. full-body protection must be determined. Fall: Due to the location and access limitations associated with a PRCS, fall hazards may be present during entry operations. As part of preparation of the confined space entry procedure, potential same level and different level fall hazards must be evaluated and the proper fall protection method implemented. ENTRY PERMIT SYSTEM The importance of completing an entry permit prior to a PRCS entry cannot be understated. This section will detail procedures for preparing, issuing and canceling an entry permit. PREPARATION OF THE PERMIT Responsibility for the accurate and complete preparation of the permit rests with the entry supervisor. Entry authorization will not be granted until the entry supervisor completes and signs the entry permit / Satisfactory preparation of the permit shall minimally include the following information: The permit space to be entered The purpose of the entry 37 The date and authorized duration of the entry permit The authorized entrants within the space by name so that the attendant can quickly and accurately. determine which authorized entrants are in the space The attendant(s) by name The entry supervisor by name and his/her signature authorizing entry The hazards of the permit space to be entered The measures used to isolate the space and to eliminate or èontrol PRCS hazards prior to entry The acceptable entry conditions The results of the atmospheric pre-entry test, the periodic atmospheric testing results, the name of the tester(s), and the date and the time indicating when the tests were performed The rescue method(s) and emergency response ISSUANCE OF PERMITS The entry permit must be posted at the job site and available for review by all entrants to the permit- required confined space. The duration of the permit must not exceed the time required to complete the tasks identified on the permit. If the scope of the work to be performed within the space changes then a new permit should be issue. CANCELLATION OF PERMITS The entry supervisor must terminate entry activities and cancel the permit when: the work activities have been completed and If conditions not allowed under the permit arise in or near the space. All canceled permits must be sent to the Safety Manager within 5 working days of the completed entry. •: A post entry evaluation must be done upon completion of each entry. EMPLOYEE DESIGNATION AND DUTIES The confined space entry team consists of the: Authorized Entrant(s) Attendant(s) t Entry supervisor. Each team member has a specific role to ensure a safe, entry. Confined space entry must not be performed with untrained entry team members. AUTHORIZED ENTRANT • I The authorized entrant is the employee who is allowed to enter the space to perform work. The entrant is the team member who is at greatest risk in the entry operation. • The entrant must know the potential hazards of the space and the consequences of exposure to the hazards. The entrant must follow safe work practices and procedures and be able to recognize the modes, signs and symptoms of exposure to the hazards in the space. The entrant must be properly trained in the use of the equipment used during the entry. 38 • • The entrant is responsible for communicating with and alerting the attendant is problems develop inside the space. The entrant must immediately evacuate the space if dangerous conditions develop or if an evacuation alarm is activated. - ATTENDANT The attendant is stationed outside of the space to monitor conditions in and around the space, watch the activities of the entrant and summon rescue services in The event of an emergency. The attendant may monitor more than one confined space provided that they can track and identify the authorized entrants entering the spaces. The attendant must also know the potential hazards in the space and the mode, signs and symptoms, and consequences of exposure By knowing this information, the attendant will be able to identify the possible behavioral effects of the hazards on the entrant. The attendant must maintain a continuous count of the number of entrants and keep unauthorized personnel out of and away from the space. The attendant must remain outside of the space until relieved by another attendant. If the attendant must leave or perform other duties, the confined space entry must be terminated and the entrants must evacuate the space until a full entry team is available. ENTRY SUPERVISOR The entry supervisor does not have to be an employe working in the supervisor position classification. The entry supervisor is an individual who is responsible for enforcing workplace rules and policies. - - This individual may be a working as lead worker or a foreman but may include any job classification approved for confined space entry. The entry supervisor is responsible for all aspects of the entry operations. The entry supervisor is responsible for checking the permit to make sure it is properly completed and all precautions have been taken. The entry supervisor authorizes the entry by signing the permit. Conducts a pre-entry tailgate meeting with the entry team to discuss the scope of work, recognized/potential hazards in the space and the controls implemented, verification that the entry team has been trained on the equipment used for the entry and symptoms of exposure and consequences of exposure to recognized or potential hazards in the PRCS. Cancel entry authorization and/or terminate entry whenever acceptable entry conditions are not present. Once the scope of work has been completed, the entry supervisor also must terminate the entry and cancel the permit Verify that an appropriate rescue plan is in place. Prior to switching entry supervisors (shift change), the outgoing entry supervisor is responsible for determining that entry conditions are consistent with the terms of the permit and acceptable entry conditions are present before turning over operations to. the incoming entry supervisor. ATMOSPHERIC TESTING AND MONITORING Cal/OSHA requires atmospheric testing for two distinct pürp6ses: . Evaluation of the hazards of the permit space. 39 ( Verification that acceptable entry conditions exist in .the PRCS prior to entry. Preparation of the confined space entry procedure shall include recognized and potential atmospheric hazards related to each entry to ensure that the entry team monitors for the appropriate hazards. .. This monitoring may include the use of remote sampling devices to assist in sampling from outside of the space. After the initial monitoring has been conducted, it is necessary to continue to monitor the atmosphere to ensure that conditions do not change. Monitoring instruments and visual inspections are used to evaluate the conditions of the space. Instrumentation is used to evaluate environmental conditions such as air contaminants, oxygen deficiency or enrichment, noise, radiation, etc. Visual inspections are used to ensure effectiveness of hazard controls, barriers, etc. All employees using monitoring equipment must be trained on the use and limitations of the equipment. Sancon shall provide continuous direct-reading instruments to. measure: Oxygen levels between 19.5 % to 23.5% Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) below 10 PPM 3. Lower explosive limit below 10% 4. Carbon monoxide below 25 PPM Sancon calibrates the gas detection instruments per the manufacture's recommendations. Entry team members must never use instruments, which are not properly calibrated. The entry shall be terminated if there is any question concerning the accuracy of the monitoring instrumentation. . Initial air monitoring must be conducted from outside the PRCS. The entry supervisor will specify on the entry procedure and the entry permit, the frequency and duration of tests to be conducted for the PRCS. Measurement of values for each atmospheric test should be made for at least the minimum response time of the instrument, as, specified by the manufacturer. Cal/OSHA requires testing for atmospheric hazards in the following order 1. Oxygen 2 Combustible gases 3. Toxic gases/vapors •. The confined space entry procedure and the entry permit will identify the contaminant sampling parameters specific to each entry. Monitoring in stratified (layered) atmospheres shall be performed from outside starting at tQp/front of the PRCS and every five feet of travel, and to .each side, to the end of the space. If it is not feasible to monitor the entire space in this matter, then the entry will have to be performed with each entrant wearing a supplied air respirator, with 15-minute escape bottle, until air monitoring indicates the space may be entered without any respiratory protection. RESCUE AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES . • All confined space entry procedures must include rescue/emergency response language. There are two types of emergencies encountered in confined space entry. 1. The confined space hazards were recognized and precautions were taken but the • • control program was not effective. •. ., 2. The confined space hazards were not recognized and the appropriate precautions were not taken. • • .-•. i • 40 , . , The confined space hazards were recognized and precautions were taken but the control program was not effective. The confined space hazards were not recognized and the appropriate precautions were not taken. The confined space entry procedure must identify the type of rescue and this information must be communicated to the entry team. I. There are several types of emergency rescue. Evacuation or Self-Rescue: This type of rescue is initiated by the attendant or entrant ordering an evacuation of the space. The entrant exits the space on his own. (Examples of this may be the entrant crawling out of a side wall entry port in an above ground tank or the entrant climbing up a ladder.) Assisted Non-Entry Rescue: This type of rescue involves a single victim who may or may not be conscious. The entrant wears a full-body harness and is attached to a mechanical retrieval device located outside of the space. The attendant operates the mechanical retrieval device, which pulls the entrant from the space without the need for entry. Retrieval systems must comply with Cal/OSHA requirements (Title 8 CCR, Section 5157 (k)(3)). Entry Rescue: This type of rescue is usually for the most critical types of incidents. The configuration of the space may prohibit the use of mechanical retrieval devices from the outside. The rescue involves a rescue team entering the space to remove the victims. This type of rescue may be performed by an on-site rescue team, contractor or the fire department. . If the local fire department or contractor is identified as the rescue team in the confined space entry procedure, it is the responsibility of the entry supervisor to coordinate this contingency. In the event an injured entrant(s) is exposed to a chemical substance, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be kept at the worksite and be made available to the emergency medical responder and the treating medical facility. This is to ensure appropriate medical treatment of the victim(s) and to avoid unnecessary exposure to medical personnel. INFORMATION AND TRAINING - Employee training is an integral component of Sancon's PRCS program. The required training for each entry team member must be conducted prior to the employee's initial assigned confined space duties. Additional training is required if there is a change in the potential hazards or the permit space operations or if there is any reason to believe that there are deviations from approved work practices. Sancon provides initial and refresher training for employees involved in confined space entry. Additionally, awareness training is provided to staff whose job classification requires support of confined space entry work, but are not a part of an entry team. 1. The Entry Team must be trained on: The duties of the authorized entrant Basic first aid and CPR Air monitoring instrumentation use Mechanical retrieval equipment use -. Personal protective equipment use Communication equipment use 41 • Supplied air respirator use In addition, the Rescue Team members must simulate a rescue at least every 12 months. The training programs for the entrant, attendant, entry supervisor, and rescue team must satisfy the requirements described in Title 8, Section 5157, (g) - (k). PROGRAM REVIEW AND RECORD KEEPING The Safety Manager is responsible for maintaining all cancelled confined space entry / permits, air monitoring data, IHAs and confined space entry procedures for one year. This includes review of the permit to identify any problems encountered during the entry. The written program will be reviewed annually to ensure the program is updated to include changes in the regulations and to incorporate new work practices and equipment. 1 • Employee training records are maintained in the computerized Training Record System and keep for five years ENFORCEMENT / DISCIPLINE It is the responsibility of each Sancon employee to ensure that safety is an integral part of our day to day activities. Sometimes it's necessary to discipline employees when there is a safety policy/program violation. Due to the potential severity of the not following proper procedures during confined space entry, a willful violation of the District's PRCS program may be grounds for disciplinary action leading up to and including termination. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION • PROGRAM EVALUATION • This Permit Required Confined Space Program shall be evaluated annually to ensure that it is effective in providing adequate protection the release of hazardous energy during maintenance activities.

POWER BLOWERS Labeling All power blowers must be labeled to indicate the certified effective net capacity at the end of the 15-foot standard blower hose. These capacities are rated with one 90-degree hose bend (usual arrangement for initial purge) and two 90-degree hose bends (normal arrangement for continuous ventilation). If labels are missing, obtain them from the shop personnel. Purge Time Determination Explosive gases: Of the flammable gases commonly reported in manholes, gasoline vapors have the lowest explosive limit (LEL). Based upon reducing a gasoline vapor contaminated manhole to below the 10% of the LEL (1300 parts per million (ppm), the required purge time of all conventional sizes can be determined by: t = 7.5 V/R. AT NO TIME SHALL PURGING TIME BE LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. Where t purge time (minutes) V = manhole volume R = effective net blower capacity Toxic gases: • In all sewer related spaces and other spaces where toxic gases may be present, such as hydrogen sulfide, purge time should be increased 50% above that as determined for the 10% LEL for gasoline criteria. This can be determined by: t = 11.1 VIR. Continuous Ventilation: Following the purging requirements, the manhole shall be continuously ventilated so long as it is occupied by anyone, even momentarily. Continuous ventilation may be at lower rates than what is requiied for purging but not less than 334 cfm measured at the end of the blower hose with two (2) 90-degree bends. ) 45 • • RESPIRATOR PROTECTION PROGRAM Purpose Employees may be exposed to air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors or oxygen deficient atmospheres, during their normal work Activities. Sancon has attempted to remove these potentially dangerous conditions through the use of engineering controls where feasible. Engineering controls are not always feasible due to the remoteness of a location, the confines of a work area or in emergency situations. In an effort to control employee exposures to respiratory, hazards, Sancon has developed this Respiratory Protection Program. All respiratory protective equipment shall be issued and used pursuant to this Policy. The purpose of this Respiratory Protection Program and Policy is to establish a program that will protect employees from potentially harmful atmospheres by establishing the requirements for the selection, use, care and maintenance of respiratory protection equipment. This program also establishes the voluntary use, medical and training requirements for respiratory protective equipment and its users. RESPIRATORY SELECTION Respirators shall be selected based on a workplace survey of potential and known respiratory hazards. Voluntary use of respiratory protective equipment is allowed with the approval of the Respiratory Program Administrator. ' Sancon shall conduct a hazard assessment survey to determine which workplace hazards have respiratory hazards and to determine the conditions encountered by employees exposed to respiratory hazards. ,. The proper type of respirator shall be selected for each work place where a respiratory hazard exists. ' Respirators for voluntary use, where a respiratory hazard does not exist shall be selected by the same means. Only respirators approved by the National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) shall be selected and used. CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE: Each employee shall be assigned a chemical respirator and shall be fitted and instructed on its use. Employees will be responsible for safekeeping, cleaning and maintenance of their respirator. Each worker shall keep his respirator stored in its protective case and used only by himself. After each day's use worn or deteriorated parts shall be replaced as needed. Employees shall ask for a replacement respirator at any time a respirator's condition is in question. 46 DISPOSABLE FORCED AIR HOODS Disposable forced air hoods shall be provided for each employee as necessary. It is the employee's responsibility to inspect the hood periodically for tears or leaks. A new hood should be used at the beginning of each day and changed-as needed FORCED FEED BREATHING AIR Forced feed air must be filtered and monitored for carbon monoxide when being drawn off an oil air compressor. The carbon monoxide meter and alarm musfbe turned on and checked for correct operation daily. At no time shall an employee use a breathing air support hood supplied from a compressor which has indicated carbon monoxide levels of 20 PPM or greater. At no time shall a breathing air supported hood be connected to an oil compressor, which does not have a high discharge temperature shut down. DISPOSABLE PAPER DUST/MIST I Disposable paper dust/mist respirators shall be made available at all times for use in protection against the following only: .. Overspray of Sancon 100 outside confined space. Copper Slag Dust outside of a confined space. Do not use a dust/mist respirator to protect against chemical gases such as the fumes from sealers, primers, paints or solvents. Of primary importance is whenever you feel sick, dizzy, or lightheaded; immediately stop work and come into fresh air. Do not return to work until such time as.the cause of illness is determined. MEDICAL EVALUATION Using a respirator may place a physiological burden on an employee, which varies with the type of respirator worn, the job and workplace conditions in which the respirator is used, and the medical status of the employee. A respirator may produce undeirable physiological and psychological effects on the wearer. Employees must not be assigned tasks that require the use of a respirator unless a licensed health care professional has determined they are physically capable of performing work while wearing respiratory protective equipment. Employees may refuse work that requires the use of a respirator if they have not been medically qualified in the previous 12 months Medical evaluation shall be provided to the employee at no cost during working hours Medical evaluation shall be performed by licensed health care professional. Employees shall be ,valuated annually by a Physician or other licensed health care professional. 47 . RESPIRATOR USE AND EMERGENCIES This section outlines the procedures and responsibilities for the proper use of respirators during normal operations and emergency situations. RESPIRATOR USAGE Employees shall use respiratory protective equipment in areas designated as respiratory protective equipment use areas. Employees who require prescription eyewear to correct vision shall not allow eyeglass temple bars to interfere with the seal of the respirator. Prescription eyéwear for respiratory protective equipment users may be obtained. Employees shall inspect their respirators before entering areas or performing tasks that require their usage. Employees shall not use respiratory protective equipment that is defective. When there is a change in work area conditions or degree of employee exposure or stress that may affect respirator effectiveness, Sancon shall reevaluate the continued effectiveness of the respirator. RESPIRATORY USAGE IN IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE AND HEALTH (IDLH) ATMOSPHERES U The required respiratory protection for IDLH conditions caused by the presence of toxic materials or a reduced percentage of oxygen is a positive pressure SCBA or a combination supplied air respirator with an escape bottle. If an employee must work in an atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life and health ([DLH), theemployee shall comply with the requirements this respiratory protection program. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS INVOLVING RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT In the event of an emergency situation that will require the use of respiratory protective equipment, only a positive pressure SCBA shall be used. The use of other respiratory protective equipment for emergency situations shall not be allowed without the approval Supervisor, or designee. FIT TESTING . All respirators that rely on a mask-to-face seal need to be annually checked with a qualitative method to determine whether the mask provides an acceptable fit to a wearer. Qualitative fit test procedures shall be used and conducted in accordance with CAL-OSHA 5144 Respiratory Protection Program All employees who wear respiratory protective equipment shall receive a fit test at least annually. Fit tests shall be completed on a more frequent basis if: • The employee uses more than one type of respirator face piece. The employee gains or loses more than 15 pounds in weight and notifies the Respiratory Program Administrator of the change. C. The employee believes that his or her selected respirator is no longer providing an adequate fit. Cal-OSHA prohibits facial hair in places on the face and neck where it can interfere with the 48 • seal of a respirator on the face of the use1. Therefore, employee's whose job classifications require the use of respiratory protective equipment shall be prohibited from wearing of facial hair from all areas of the face and body, which may interfere with the. seal of respiratory protective equipment. Employees who voluntarily wear respiratory protective equipment shall be prohibited from wearing of facial hair from all areas of the body, which may interfere with the seal of respiratory protective equipment. Employees who may be required to infrequently wear respiratory protective equipment and have the ability to shave prior to respiratory protection use, may have facial hair as long as it is removed prior to being fit tested or having to wear a respirator RESPIATOR CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE The cleaning, maintenance and storage of respiratory protective equipment is vital to an effective Respiratory Protective Program. Each respirator user shall be provided with a respirator that is clean, sanitary, and in good working order. It is the responsibility of each employee who is assigned a respirator to ensure that his or her personal respirator is properly inspected, disinfected and maintained. All respirators shall be inspected by their user before each use and during cleaning *All respirators maintained for use in emergency situations shall be inspected at.least monthly by the respirator owner (Safety manager or supervisor) and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, *It is the inspecting employee's responsibility to inform the supervisor of defective equipment when discovered. • • ( *Respirators issued for the exclusive use of an employee shall be cleaned and disinfected by the employee s often as necessary to be maintained in a sanitary condition. All respirators shall be stored to protect them from damage, contamination, dust, sunlight, extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, and damaging chemicals. They shall be packed or stored to prevent deformation of the lace piece and exhalation valve. TRAINING PROGRAM Each employee shall be trained in the 'proper use of respirators, including putting on and removing them, any limitations on their use, and their maintenance, cleaning, and storage. Training shall be provided prior to requiring the employee to use a respirator in the workplace. Retraining shall be administered annually, and when the following situation(s) occur. Changes in the workplace or the type of respirator render previous training obsolete. If the employee cannot demonstrate knowledge of or use the respirator. Any other situation arises in which retraining appears necessary to ensure safe respirator use. All training will be recorded in the Sancon Master Training Record and keep for five years. PROGRAM ADMINISTATION AND REVIEW The Respiratory Program shall be managed and administered by the Safety Administrator. t. This Respiratory Protection Program shall be evaluated annually to ensure that it is effective, 49 in providing adequate protection against the inhalation of harmful atmospheres. FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY PLANNING All employees should anticipate the effect of a major emergency or disaster on their operations and plan a course of action that will minimize personal injury and property damage in the event of any fire, industrial hazard, or natural disaster. The following actions are recommended insofar as they are applicable to a particular- situation. Additional measures may be taken as the situation warrants. S Every individual is responsible for knowing the following information concerning the buildings or areas to which they are assigned: Location of telephones and fire alarm boxes, if any. Location of fire extinguishers. 3: His duties in the event of fire. 4. The location of exits. Keep them clear and accessibler. -• Action in Case of a Fire (Smoke or Water) Danger, 1. What todo if you spot a fire: • If deemed appropriate, return to the fire with an extinguisher; If the fire cannot be controlled, evacuation of the premises should begin. Advise employees and viitors to stay low to the ground, since smoke rises. C. Call the fire department d. Never put yourself or others in jeopardy. At no time during a fire emergency • should property be considered before people. The safety of employees and visitors must come first. • 2. • Safety Personnel Responsibilities A representative of the company, preferably a member of the Safety Committee will be designated as the liaison between the Company and the Fire Department leader. • • 3. Fire Prevention and Fire Safety S All individuals will immediately correct and/or report to management, any observed fire hazard or unusual condition that might lead to the development of a fire. 50 -I, Bomb Threats - In the event a bomb threat is telephoned in, whoever receives the call should notify a supervisor immediately. Should a bomb threat occur, remain calm and follow instructions as given by management? Management will notify the proper authorities and employees and visitors will be instructed to evacuate the premises via the nearest exit route. As soon as danger passes, an authorized "all-clear" will be issued and employees and visitors will be allowed to return and resume work. - Earthquake or Natural Disaster - In the event of an earthquake or related disaster (explosion, Lightning-strike), the following general measures should be taken: Drop to the floor and get under a desk or table. Stay away from windows, bookshelves or any freestanding cabinets: Following any shocks, attempt to secure your area. Do not leave the building until the shocks have 'subsided. 5 Follow the instructions of any Safety Engineer present Evacuation Flow Plan An evacuation flow plan for this project is kept on jobsite bulletin boards and jobsite offices. r HEAT ILLNESS PREVENTION PLAN Purpose The purpose of Heat Illness Prevention Plan is to meet the requirements set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3395, (for complete guidelines please see Heat Illness Prevention Regulation Amendments in the Appendix) and also to serve as a supplement to Sancon Engineering's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). This information is intended and must be used in conjunction with the IIPP. The Heat Illness Prevention Guide establishes procedures and provides information which is necessary to ensure that members of Sancon Engineering are knowledgeable in the prevention and recognition of heat stress to ensure their own safety and the safety of others. Heat Illness Prevention Heat related illnesses are avoidable if the employees are trained and the right actions are taken before, during, and after working in either indoor or outdoor hot conditions. High temperatures and humidity can stress the bpdy's ability to cool itself making heat illness a big 51 concern during hot weather months. Every employee whose job duties require them to work in the outdoors during summer months, are exposed to elevated heat conditions and therefore are susceptible to heat illness. The three major forms of heat illnesses are: heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Heat stroke can be a life-threatening condition. This document will outline those actions as well as describing the three major forms of heat illness, 'how to recognize them, and what actions to take to provide first aid before medical care is provided. Heat Cramps Description: Heat cramps are the most common type of heat related injury and probably have been experienced by nearly everyone at one time or another. Heat cramps are muscle spasms which usually affect the arms, legs, or stomach. Frequently they do not occur until sometime later after work, at night, or when relaxing. Heat cramps are caused by heavy sweating, especially when water is not replaced quickly enough. Although heat cramps can be quite painful, they usually don't result in permanent damage. Prevention/First Aid: Drink electrolyte solutions such as Gatorade or plenty of water during the day and try eating more fruits such as bananas to help your body stay hydrated during hot weather. Contact your supervisor immediately if the person becomes ill. - Heat Exhaustion Description: Heat exhaustion is more serious than heat cramps. It occurs when the body's internal - temperature regulating system is overworked, but has not completely shut down. In heat exhaustion, the surface blood vessels and capillaries, which originally enlarged to cool the blood, collapse from loss of body fluids and necessary minerals. This happens when you do not drink enough fluids to replace what you are sweating away. Symptoms Include: Headache, heavy sweating, intense thirst, dizziness, fatigue, loss of coordination, nausea, impaired judgment, loss of appetite, hyperventilation, tingling in hands or feet, anxiety, cool moist skin, weak and rapid pulse (120-200), and low to normal blood pressure. Prevention/First Aid: The employee suffering these symptoms should be moved to a cool location such as a shaded area or air-conditioned building. Have them lie down with their feet slightly elevated. Loosen their clothing, apply cool, wet cloths or fan them. Have them drink water or an electrolyte drink. Try to cool them down, and have them checked by medical personnel. Victims of heat exhaustion should avoid strenuous activity for at least a day, and they should continue to drink water to replace lost body fluids. Call 911 if the person becomes non- responsive, refuses water, vomits, or loses consciousness. 3. Heat Stroke Description: Heat stroke is a life threatening illness with a high death rate. It occurs when the body has depleted its supply of water and salt, and the victim's core body temperature rises to deadly I 52 levels. A heat stroke victim may first suffer heat cramps and/or heat exhaustion before progressing into the heat stroke stage, but this is not always the case. It should be noted that, on the job, heat stroke is sometimes mistaken for a heart attack. It is therefore very important to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stroke - and to check for them anytime an employee collapses while working in a hot environment. Symptoms Include: A high body temperature (103 degrees F); a distinct absence of sweating (usually); hot red or flushed dry skin; rapid pulse; difficulty breathing; constricted pupils; any/all the signs or symptoms of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, or confusion, and possibly more severe systems including; bizarre behavior; and high blood pressure. Advanced symptoms may be seizure or convulsions, collapse, loss of consciousness, and a body temperature of over 108 degrees F. Prevention/First Aid: It is vital to lower a heat stroke victim's body temperature. Quick actions can mean the difference between life and death. Pour water on them, fan them, or apply cold packs. Call 911 to get the person medical aid as soon as possible. Precautions to Prevent Heat hines Condition yourself for working in hot environments. Start slowly then build up to more physical work. Allow your body to adjust over a few days (acclimatization). Drink plenty of liquids. Hydration is a continuous process. Don't wait until you're thirsty! By then, there's a good chance that you're already on your way to being dehydrated. Electrolyte drinks are good for replacing both water and minerals lost through sweating. Never drink alcohol, and avoid caffeinated beverages like coffee and soda as these liquids can have the opposite effect and can actually increase the level of dehydration. Take frequent breaks, especially if you notice you're getting a headache or you start feeling overheated. Adequate water and shade will be provided at the job site before work is to begin. Water will be provided by Sancon Engineering. Pick up bottled water from the shop. If you run out purchase water at the store and you will, be reimbursed. One quart, per employee, per hour is required. Shade will be provided when the temperature exceeds 80 degrees, Fahrenheit, by natural surroundings, EZ-Up awnings, Air conditioned Camera Truck or in the cab of our air conditioned job trucks. r Wear lightweight, light colored clothing when working out in the sun. If the temperature reaches 95 degrees Fahrenheit or above, the employer shall ensure that the employee takes a minimum ten-minute cool down rest every two hours. It may be provided concurrently with any other rest period or meal period. ' 53 - ,. Immediately report all unsafe conditions and/or concerns to your supervisor without delay. For the complete guide please see Heat Illness Prevention Regulation Amendments in Appendix. HAZARDOUS ENERGYCONTROL PROGRAM (LOCKOUT TAG-OUT PROCEDURES) Policy Equipment should be properly and uniformly locked out and tagged whenevr it is down for any reason, in order to protect the exposed employees from inadvertent equipment operation and potential harm. Purpose The purpose of this section is to provide a safe method for rendering inactive any electrical equipment or operating systems (including mechanical or piping) when equipment is down for any reason, such as repair, removal or replacement. This procedure is provided in an effort to identify certain LOTO procedural elements. The Subcontractor's or other Agency's program may not exactly follow this procedure; however, the basic elements shall be available to protect all employees from the potentialhazards. A JSA is required and must be reviewed and accepted by the Sancon Safety Manager or Supervisor prior to the start of work. Responsibilities When needed, the Subcontractor or other Agencies are responsible to assure that a LOTO procedure is put in place in their area of work. The Project Manager is responsible to ensure that all construction employees are trained and familiar with and use the procedure wherever it applies. All employees are responsible to be aware that a LOTO Program is in effect and the specifics of the Subcontractor's or other Agency's program. Anyone who may be exposed to the sudden release of energy or materials will be familiar with and abide by the established LOTO procedure. If an employee observes a safety problem, he/she will notify their Supervisor, the Subcontractor or other Agency 's responsible for the area Safety. Implementation A LOTO procedure should include five basic phases of work on any system: (1) shutting down equipment, (2) verify energy is released, (3) repairing or installing equipment, (4) removal of LOTO devices, and (5) startup of equipment. It is likely that some situations will not include all five phases' as such; however, regardless of the operation and the phase or phases involved, the "lockout/tag-out" clearance procedure must be observed to assure the safety of the operation. 54 Even though this procedure generally provides for locking and tagging of equipment, the danger tag alone is to be considered and inviolable device and any equipment bearing such a tag must not be operated under any circumstances. Also, locks must be used in conjunction with a tag to afford maximum personnel protection. Prior to starting any major operation, which would involve these locking and tagging procedures, a meeting shall be set up by the supervision, employees and inspectors involved. The project's safety personnel shall attend this meeting. A specific procedure will be adopted and reviewed by all concerned with the operation, prior to commencement of work. Materials and Hardware Sancon shall provide accidental prevention sins, tags, padlocks, seals or other similarly effective means, which may be required for cleaning, servicing, adjusting, repair work or setting-up operations. Signs, tags, padlocks, and seals shall have means by which they can be readily secured to the controls. Tagout device attachment means shall in a non-reusable type, attached by hand, self-locking, and non-releasable with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50 pounds. Shutdown and RepairofEguioment or Systems All personnel, before working on equipment should assure that: Others are not working on the piece or system, and if others are working on it, that this procedure will not endanger any personnel or the equipment. Equipment is not under pressure, energized, at elevated temperature or otherwise unsafe to be worked upon. Others adjacent to the work area are not endangered. I Before starting work, the supervisor shall contact the designated supervisor (responsible for the equipment or system). This supervisor will show him the devices that require tagging; i.e., switches, starters, valves, lockout controls, etc. This will be accomplished by using an approved danger tag and lock. The main disconnect shall be opened in addition to any remote control switches. On electrical work, it is advisable as a further precaution for the electrician to remove the supply fuses. On piped systems, the main valves shall be closed and pressure relieved. The supervisor shall make sure that the equipment or system is inoperative. After assuring himself that the equipment has been properly shut down in accordance with the procedures described above, the supervisor and employees involved in the work shall positively determine that the equipment or system has been locked and tagged. Each employee will place his/her own tag and lock on the switch or valve. A distinctive danger tag and lock (when possible) will be attached to each device. This tag shall be dated and signed by the individuals doing the work. A short explanation of the reason for the tag should appear in the provided spaces. Only authorized personnel will repair specific equipment with system danger tags. If mechanically possible, a padlock (to which only the employee .placing the lock shall have access to keys) shall be placed on equipment in such a manner as to render operation of the equipment impossible. Starting Up Equipment or Systems As soon as the work is completed, the danger tags and locks shall be removed p.11y by the individuals installing them. In the event the shift ends before the work is completed, the status of the work is to be reported in detail to the oncoming shift personnel and the tags and locks on the system replaced by the oncoming shift personnel. 55 Upon completion of the work, Sancon, the Subcontractor or Agency supervisor will make certain all tags and locks have been removed and personnel are clear of the equipment or system. The equipment will be returned to normal operating conditions. General In an emergency, or if the person who placed the tag and lock is not available the Lock and Tag Removal Procedure established by Sancon, the Subcontractor's or other Agency's LOTO procedure will be implemented. Inspection An independent annualperiodic review/inspection of authorized employees will be conducted to ensure that they are implementing LOTO procedures properly and that they are familiar with their responsibilities under those procedures. The periodic reviews/inspections are intended to identify and correct any deviations observed. An independent authorized employee will perform the periodic reviews/inspections. The work of all authorized employees will be reviewed/inspected by another authorized employee each calendar year. Subcontractors and Host Employers Whenever outside servicing personnel (sub-contractdrs) are to be engaged in activities covered by this section, the employer's lockout or tagout procedures shall be followed. When working for Host Employers, Sancon will be using their Hazardous Energy Control Program if applicable. Training •• All authorized employees will receive the Initial Control of Hazardous Energy course. A refresher Control of Hazardous Energy course will be provided annually for those employees whose job duties require them to continue to perform as an authorized employee. Initial training will include the following topics: • • . Recognition of hazardous 'energy sources . The type and magnitude of energy at the District Methods for isolation and control of the energy Lockout/tagout procedures • • The difference between lockout and tagout • Application of Red Tags Limitations of tags as energy control devices The requirements of Title 8, Section 3314, Cleaning, Repairing, Servicing and Adjusting Prime Movers, Machinery and Equipment • Refresher training will be conducted annually by the Safety Division on topics related to Control of.Hazardous Energy. Records of Training Authorized employee training records include employee name, instructor name, and training 56 1: 1ww:áisi k. &Ic(A549309 - C 17 I%l 7 I 1.1 C 7 a 171%! ••:- : - DATE: PROJECT NAME I BID NUMBER: March 13, 2018 City of Vista — Rehabilitation of 14 Sewr Manholes on Buena Vista Trunk line TO: FROM: City of Vista ' Orion Construction Corporation 1165.E.

Structure Guard sets fast for a quick return-to-service in the most aggressive and turbulent environments. It's smooth and abrasion resistant finish enhances flow characteristics in pipe lining applications. FEATURES AND BENEFITS 100% Solids, No VOCs Spray applied at 125 mils in a single pass Excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance TYPICAL PERFORMANCE DATA Color Light Green Finish: Very Smooth (Manning Coefficient: .009) Flash Point> 250°F (121°C) Specific Gravity Resin: 1.45 Hardener: 0.97 Dry Service: 30°F - 250°F (121°C) Spill/Splash: 190°F (87.7°C) Immersion Service: 150°F (65.5°C) APPLICATION SYSTEMS Heated Plural Airless Spray Units Minimum Output 5000 psi Product Hose: Min. - Optimum I.D. 0.375 - 0.5 inch CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Acetic Acid 10% Ammonium Hydroxide 25% Brine Water Copper Sulfate Diesel Fuel ° Fatty Acids Gasoline Hydrochloric Acid up to 20% Mineral Spirits Potassium Hydroxide 50% Crude Oil Caster Oil Ethylene Glycol Sodium Chloride Sodium Hydroxide 50% Sulfuric Acid 75% Sewage (Hydrogen Sulfide) Alkalis Fresh and non-potable water Wine Ethanol Structure Guard passes ASTM F1216 chemical resistance requirements. MULTIPLE COATS \ Good coating practice generally requires 2 or more coats to attain finished thickness. Second and subsequent coats must be applied before the previous coat has completely cross-linked, typically 12 hours © 72°F (higher temperatures/humidity will shorten this window). If coating after re-coat window, brush blast before applying the next coat. Before reblasting, clean and dry surface thoroughly to remove all contamination, including amine blush or condensation. Small areas may be abraded by sanding or wire brushing. The same requirements apply when overlapping seams of adjacent coating sections to create a continuous protective film. If the coating surface to be overlapped at the seam cannot be brush blasted, use a non-impact means as power brushing or sanding to create a mechanical profile. PACKAGING Structure Guard is available in 5 gallon pales and 55 gallon drums YIELD Structure Guard will yield an approximate theoretical coverage of 20 sq. ft per gallon © 80 mils thickness. Actual surface coverage - will depend on substrate porosity and roughness. Good painting practices suggest application of two coats for quality assurance. A wet film thickness gauge may be used to determine actual coating coverage.

More is Better. CONCRETE & MASONRY substrates must be prepared in a manner that provides a uniform, sound, clean, neutralized surface with sufficient profile suitable for the specified coating. The substrate must be free of all contaminants, such as oil, grease, rust, scale or deposits and have a surface profile equivalent to a CSP2 to CSP5 in accordance with ICRI Technical Guideline No. 03732. This can generally be achieved by abrasive blasting, shot blasting, high pressure water cleaning, water jetting, acid etch, hot water/steam cleaning or a combination of methods. STEEL surfaces may require "Solvent Cleaning" (SSPC-SP 1) to remove oil, grease and other soluble contaminants. Chemical contaminants may be removed according to SSPCSP 12/NACE No. 5. Identification of the contaminants along with their concentrations may be obtained from laboratory and field tests as described in SSPC-TU 4" Field Methods for Retrieval and Analysis of Soluble Salts on Substrates." Surfaces to be coated should then be prepared according to SSPC-SP 5/NACE NO.1 "White Blast Cleaning" for immersion service or SSPC-SP lO/NACE No. 2. "Near White Blast Cleaning" for all other service. In certain situations, an alternate procedure may be to use high (>5,000 psi) or ultrahigh (>10,000 psi) pressure water cleaning or water cleaning with sand injection. The resulting anchor profile shall be 2.5-5.0 mils and be relative to the coating thickness specified.

L Vertical Structures: Initially locate the spinner at either the top of the manhole chimney or the lowest point corresponding to the junction of the manhole bench and walls. The spin-cast unit shall then be initialized, and pumping of the material shall commence. As the mortar begins to be centrifugally cast evenly around the interior of the structure, the rotating applicator head may be cycled up and down in rough, non-uniform vertical structures at a controlled I,. retrieval speed conducive to providing a uniform material thickness on the structure walls. Horizontal Structures: Initially locate the spinner at the far end of the structure and calibrate equipment to pull back at predetermined speed calibrated to design thickness per application coat. Allow to cure sufficiently to withstand weight of application equipment for subsequent pass(es), then initiate subsequent application pass(es) to specified thickness. Some structures with isolated extraordinary deterioration may require hand spraying of such areas to recontour surfaces prior to initial spincast coat. C. Curing Curing begins immediately after mixing and proper material application. It is - important that the structure be isolated from sunlight and dry outside air as soon as possible but no more than 10 minutes after troweling is complete to avoid moisture loss in the material. Contractor shall place a cover sheet of plastic sheeting between manhole frame and cover or tunnel/pipe terminations to prevent moisture loss. Applications should not occur in direct sunlight.

Ark., at 65-years-old, has its fair share of infiltration and inflow problems ..• due to an aging sewer system. ~Sherwood, located in central Arkansas in the shadow of the state capital — city of Little Rock, has a growing population of 29,523 and approximately 40 miles of sewers and about 4,500 manholes that are part of the -- Sherwood Wastewater Utility System. - _ According to Sherwood wastewater supervisor Charlie Cadie, the system 4 was established in the early 2000s after the City began taking over private ., - systems in its coverage area and in 2011, it began looking at aggressively tackling manhole rehabilitation as part of a larger sewer system upgrade. .. -. According to Lea Price, of Crist Engineers, Sherwood's engineer for the sewer project, the City discovered that the manholes were suffering from -'-' several problems. "Some of the manholes were the old brick type manholes with grout and bricks missing, which caused leaks. Some of the manholes were precast concrete and were leaking at the joints and some.of the manholes had bad pipe seals and were leaking around the pipe entry into the manhole," Price said. He continued, "Some of the manholes were leaking around the stairs and precast lift holes, and some of the manholes were deteriorated because of high levels of hydrogen sulfide." Cadie estimated that the City spends $25 to $30 to treat a gallon of fluid and because of these I/I problems, during rain events, the product being treated is about 99 percent rainwater. It's one of biggest things that we have that causes sewer treatment problems and flow problems," Cadie said. By reducing the Ill through the manhole rehabilitation program, the City will save money on treatment equipment, a -, - cost-savings that is passed on to the system's users. - Researching Its Options Once Sherwood decided to address its infiltration and corrosion problems, officials set out to research different rehabilitation products and methods that had been used ortrialed in nearby Little Rock. .• - Sherwood was looking for systems with a 100-year life expectancy. To L '"' . Miller fli PipelineCorp. qualify products, Sherwood tested many cementitious and polymer - products to rehabilitate its manholes. Since Sherwood's problems were diverse, officials expected and found that several different products would , .- - •• . '- prove optimal for different Circumstances, hence the need for a • manufacturer with a full and diverse product line. • r • ' Likewise, officials found that the contractor applying the products was 's ,• • 4 critically important so they decided to focus on compatible products from 4 • the same manufacturer and that must be applied by manufacturer trained ••• - . . - and certified applicators. The City did not have to look far beause local manufacturer Quadex had been supplying manhole rehab products nationally since 1991 and had a full line of cements and epoxies sold only to trained certified applicators and cities 11 , . I with proper cement and epoxy spray equipment. . - "We used a variety of Quadex products, depending on what the particular problem was at each manhole," Price said. Some of the manholes received a cementitious liner only'some of the manholes received a cementitious liner followed by an epoxy liner and some of the manholes received only an epoxy liner." Price further explained, "The cementitious followed by an epoxy liner method was used in manhole that were deteriorated.due to hydrogen sulfide and were typically located near pump stations and the wastewater treatment plant. We used the epoxy liner only method for some precast manholes in relatively new areas that had minor leaks and the manholes were in good shape otherwise." In all, Sherwood called upon four Quadex products: Quadex Quad-Plug, Quadex Hyperform, Quadex Aluminaliner and Quadex Structure Guard, to solve its Ill problems. The winning bidder for the manhole work went to Lewis Concrete Restoration, a Quadex certified applicator. Quadex's hybrid calcium aluminant cementitious product provided superior structural rebuild capabilities and moderate corrosion protection and proved to provide the best bang for the buck for structurally rebuilding . deteriorated manholes and effectively stopping infiltration and mild corrosion. No degree of deterioration could not be repaired with 2-to 4-in, of shotcreted calcium aluminant. For more severe corrosion situations, Quadex's Structure Guard epoxy coating proved to have superior bonds to damp underground concrete that is required for long-term bonding to newer precast manholes or concrete lift stations. The City turned to Structure Guard for topcoating structurally deteriorated manholes first lined with calcium aluminant cements made by Quadex. Phase I Finishing Up Cadie says the program is on pace for a 2017 completion, and the first phase is 90 percent complete, with the City already looking ahead to Phase II. The manhole project complements a citywide sewer system rehabilitation and upgrade project. . In the first phase, approximately 800 manholes, with a vertical footage of approximately 3,991 ft, were identified for . . rehabilitation and Cadie is pleased with the results. Given the heavy rains last year and snow and ice this year, he has not noticed any signs of deterioration or'significant I/I even in areas that are prone to flooding. "They (Quadex) do some really good work and have a real good product," Cadie said. "1 am really happy with these guys, they really do real good work."
