CHAPTER 3
  • CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES
  • Supplementary Information

3
Machinery and Equipment
  • Variety of machines and equipment required for
    projects and it changes routinely
  • Qualified individual to inspect and ensure a safe
    operational state
  • Re-inspect as appropriatedaily, weekly, monthly,
    quarterly, etc.

4
Machinery and Equipment (Cont.)
  • Maintain all inspection files onsite for the
    project.
  • Defective equipment must be properly repaired and
    maintained for use.
  • Only designated, trained, qualified personnel
    should operate equipment and machines.
  • Use all equipment within specifications and never
    leave it unattended.

5
Trucks and Equipment
  • Operate trucks and equipment properly
  • Obey signs and know the sites layout
  • Prevent exposures to fumes from vehicles to
    workers
  • Enforce safe driving regulations
  • Use preventive measuresblades down, block
    wheels, use emergency brakes, etc.
  • Safeguard equipment
  • Watch for slips, trips and falls
  • Prevent debris, gas, oil, grease, and
    contaminated rags from accumulating

6
Repairs
  • Repair all broken equipment and machines
  • Shut down all hazardous equipment for repairs
    lockout and de-energize
  • Post Do Not Operate signs for equipment that is
    out of service due to required repairs
  • Prevent injuries during work

7
Demolition of Structures
  • Facility personnel complete minor demolition
  • Specialists are required for major or special
    demolition projects
  • Protect adjacent property and the public
  • Comply with all regulations check for
    hazardsflammables, asbestos, hazardous waste,
    electrical hazards, hazardous chemicals, gases,
    explosives, etc.

8
Excavation
  • In excavation work, management must do a careful
    survey of the site to evaluate potential hazards
    involving structures.
  • A special contractor should be hired for
    excavation work done within or adjacent to a
    building or done lower than wall or column
    footings or machinery and equipment foundations.

9
Safety ItemsExcavation
  • Imposed loads
  • Soil structure
  • Hydrostatic pressures
  • Underground utilities, process lines
  • Establish need for sheet piling, shoring, bracing
  • Isolation of area for open trenches
  • Removal of debris and soil
  • Walkways and traffic over trenches
  • Exits
  • Monitor air for gases and hazards

10
Ladders and Scaffolds
  • Construction of all ladders and scaffolds should
    conform to the provisions or the appropriate
    state or provincial or local codes.
  • Workers should have a safe access to the
    scaffold, and the structure should be inspected
    and tested regularly.

11
Safety ItemsLadders

12
 
  • Employees must use PPE.
  • Do not ride loads or hooks or balls.
  • Do not work close to electrical lines unless
    insulated.
  • Use fall protection.
  • Use cables or braces to hold steel while
    erecting.

13
Scaffolds and Scaffolding
  • A scaffold is an elevated working platform for
    supporting personnel and materials.
  • A scaffold is a temporary structure for
    construction or maintenance.
  • Made of wood or metal

14
 
  • Protection from falls
  • Railings
  • Toeboards
  • Plankings
  • Fall arrest systems

15
Scaffolds
  • Competent person in charge of selection,
    erection, and dismantling of scaffolds
  • Designed, constructed, inspected, and maintained
    in accordance with manufacturer directions and
    specifications
  • Repair or replace as required if damaged prior to
    use
  • Safe and convenient access to platform
  • Railings 42 in.

16

17
Fall Protection
  • OSHA 1926.503 Training Requirements
  • Workers trained in fall protection and hazards
  • Site specific
  • Actual work to be done
  • Site conditions
  • Sequence of work
  • Layout of the workplace elements

18
Personal Fall Arrest System
  •  

19
Hoists On Construction Sites
  • Never permit personnel to ride on a material
    hoist that is in operation.
  • All hoists should have a good signal system and
    be guarded to prevent material from falling on
    workers.
  • Post load capacities, operating speeds, and
    special hazard warnings or instructions on cars
    and platforms.

20
Hoists

21
Temporary Heating Devices
  • A qualified employee should be placed in charge
    of all temporary heating equipment to ensure safe
    operation and to keep the equipment in good
    working order.
  • Proper placement and service
  • Safe clearance from combustible materials
  • Safe fuel storage and refueling
  • Ventilation and gaseous contamination and oxygen
    deficiency precautions

22
Fire Protection
  •  

23
Process Safety Management
  • Specific process safety management rules apply to
    projects for maintenance, repair, turnaround,
    major renovation, or specialty work conducted on
    or adjacent to equipment that involves the use of
    the highly hazardous chemicals listed in OSHA
    General Industry Standard 1910.119, Appendix A.
  • Owner must supply contractor with a formal hazard
    assessment plan (specific training requirements)
    or cooperatively develop a plan with the
    contractor for hazards, identify safe work
    practices and verifiable adherence to plan.
