DEBRIS HANDLING AND DISPOSAL PROGRAM
Contractor:
Project:
Advantage Contract Services, Inc.
Repainting of the 1.5 Million Gallon Elevated Storage Tank Interior
City of Coppell, Texas
DEBRIS HANDLING
All debris collected from the work sites, including water, will be tested using the TCLP method by an
accredited, OSHA approved, laboratory. This testing will include analyses for the required RCRA eight metals.
This debris will be considered hazardous until testing shows it to be otherwise. All debris stored on site will be
stored in sealed containers in a secure location to prevent vandalism or accidental spillage. All containers will
be on pallets or raised tracks to facilitate emergency relocation in the event of flooding or other unforeseen
emergencies. Emergency equipment will be available to be on site within 24 hours notice to facilitate waste
relocation. All personnel on the work sites will be trained in the contingency plan and proper handling of
hazardous debris. Upon receipt of any necessary manifests from the Ixansporter we will immediately forward
them to the owner. All overseeing and testing of the potentially baTardous waste will be accomplished by Mike
Fowler, Director of Safety and Compliance for Advantage Contract Services, Inc.
WASTE HANDLING & SITE STORAGE PLAN
Handling of waste and storage on site is always of critical concern. Keeping this in mind we have
trained all employees in the proper handling and storage of waste as well as our emergency plan. Upon initial
accumulation of waste it will be tested utilizing a random grid method to detumine lead content. Non-
hazardous waste will be accumulated on the ground inside the tank then transported to a disposal container for
ultimate disposal. If waste is determined to be hazardous, it will be collected daily by competently trained
personnel. The waste will be placed in DOT approved dnnxE or a mll-off box which will be fully sealable and
located in a secured location. These containers will be labeled with weather resistant labels utilizing the
following wording: DANGER - CONTAINS HAZARDOUS WASTE MATERIAL. The storage site will be
on the highest portion of the work area. It will be above ground covering and located on pallets (in the case of
drums) or a skid (in the case ofroll-off boxes) to facilitate removal in the event of flooding or other emergency
situations. Upon filling of the waste containers disposal will be initiated. Manifesting will occur whether the
waste is hazardous or not. Disposal will be accomplished per the following plans.
WASTE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Transportation of hazardous waste, if necessary, will be accomplished through a licensed waste carrier
or TSD facility. Upon entering a service agreement with the waste carrier or TSD facility we will forward to all
appropriate parties the name, address, phone number and qualifications of such carrier or facility.
TESTING LABORATORY
The following laboratory will test all samples to determine lead content. The turn around time is 24
hours from receipt of the sample by the lab.

1. STAFEMENT OF SAFETY POLICY
[t is the policy of this company to strive tbr the highest sat;~ty, standardsion our projects. The safer' and health
of all our employees is a primary concern. Sal~ty is the result of carefhl attention to all company operations by those
who are directly and indirectly invol,~ed. Employees at all levels must work diligently to execute the company's policy
to maintain occupational safety and health.
Our safety program has been developed to assure compliance with Federal, State, Local, and Client rules and
regulations and to protect the health and safety of all our employees. Where i~dicated, this program can be expanded
for the benefit of our employees and those working with and around us. It is the obligation of all employees to be
knowledgeable of this company's standards and regulations and to implement all rules, procedures, and regulations
contained therein.
Regard frbr the sat~ty of the general public and our own employees is a supreme responsibility of all levels of
our organization. We intend to prevent human suffering and to limit the losses Of production and efficiency.
Travis R. McKenzie,
President
PHILOSOPHY '
I. All injuries can be prevented,
2. Management, which includes all levels through the first line supervisor foreman, is responsible for
preventing occupational injuries and illnesses. Accidents indicate a deficiency in the management-
employee system.
3. Satiety must be planned into every job. Attention to the problems and hazards of the work and the work
place is a continuing need.
4. All work exposures which may result in injuries can be controlled; no matter what the exposure is, an
effective safeguard can be provided.
5. Safety is a condition of employment. Conscientious assumption of'safety and health responsibility is
e th
r quired by all employees from their first day on e job.
6. It is necessary to provide training and supervision to insure that all employees work safely. With
effective training programs, safety reinforcement, and supervision to teach, motivate, and sustain safety
knowledge, INJURIES CAN BE ELIMINATED.
7. Safety audits must check and evaluate pertbrmance in the work place to assess the safety and health
program effectiveness.
8. All deficiencies must be recognized and corrected promptly. H~Tnrds and hazardous operations must be
recognized and corrected promptly. Hazards and hazardous operations must be recognized and handled
appropriately.
9. [n the event of an accident or near miss incident, a thorough investigation and evaluation of the incident
sequence can prevent a similar occurrence in the future. Developed information communicated to all
levels of management and employees will aid in the prevention of accidents. Near miss incidents are
warnings and should be exam/ned and treated accordingly.
10. lt's good business to prevent accidents, injuries and illnesses. Safety, job competence, and work
efficiency go together for successful, profitable job completion.
I 1. People are the most critical element of the safety and health program. Concerned, involved, and trained
employees are th{~ company's greatest resources.
The strength of these principles lies in their application. It is the first line supervisor that is ultimately
responsible for the safety of all workers and for preventing accidents and injuries. The lead must come by
example rather than just rhetoric. Knowledge isn't enough - attitude and execution make the difference.
Attitudes can cause or prevent accidents.
A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING LOSSES
Controlling losses is a thnction of management. There are Four (4) great/concerns of management:
I. Production Control
2. Quality Control
3. Cost Control
4. Loss Control
Rarely can one be changed without some effect upon the other three (3). For this reason, it is not in the
best interest of this company (or its employees) to consider safety as sc)mething apart from production, quality,
and cost. Since production, quality, and costs are managed on a day-to-day bases, loss control should benefil
from the same treatment. We plan to manage the control of losses (Safety).
IV SAFETY, LOSS qONTR. OL STANDARDS
Seven (7) standards tbr work activities have been developed which cover those work activities judged to be
most valuable tbr our operations. These are as tbllows:
,
SAFETY RULES. Rules are time savers and accident preyenters. They modi~t certain behavioral
procedures to be tbllowed by all concerned, thus saving management time. Their development.
reinforcement and updating are continuous activities and usually result from past experiences.
PROPER JOB INSTRUCTIONS: The purpose of this work activity is to assist a man to do a job
quickly, conscientiously, efficiently, safely, and correctly the very first time he does it. We take time to
do it fight so we won't have to waste time doing it over. A prime tool of the first line supervisor that
will reduce many of his headaches is instructing and asking questions.
GROUP SAFETY MEETINGS: The purpose of this standard is to pr,ov/de the means of communicating
certain vital losslcontrol information to the work force. Frequent reminders and opportunities to share
knowledge are ni~cessary to train, motivate, convince, and educate employees to perform their work in
the most productive and safe manner.
FACILITY INSPECTIONS: Because of ongoing operations, equipment may become defective due to
normal wear and tear. This creates unsafe conditions and possible "down time". Through inspections
we can reduce the chance of accidents and downtime because of "sudden" failtires and we will be
correcting undesirable situations before losses occur. Also, the work environment can be inspected to
see if any hazards are present.
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION: The purl~se of this work activity is prevention. We can learn from
losses, establish controls and follow-ups to keep similar accidents from happening. We should also be
able to share findings from other areas to help ALL work areas, thus making the most of lessons learned.
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES: There are certain jobs, procedures, and processes where
the risk of serious injury, loss of production, and loss of efficiency are critical. It is vital that we have
control over these jobs and the way they are performed. In order to do this, we must identify the
methods to be used to prevent loss, establish written minimum procedures, train our people, and follow-
up to assure compliance.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: The purpose of this activity is to protect the employee from
known haTards through the use ofapproved safety gear to comply with OSHA standards. lndoctrination,
training, and follow-up inspections are essential.
v PROMOTION. TRAINING, AND EDUCATION PROGRAM
While safi:ty is the responsibility of all levels of management, the prime responsibility for the sail: conduct of
operations rests with the supervisor and employees.
The supervisor must provide the leadership, proper example, and administrative control of the ACCIDENT
PREVENTION PROGRAM. The Satbty Department and all levels of management will assist the supervisor in the
necessary planning, education, and enforcement matters that make up the safety program. The company will provide
First Aid Training programs and educational materials in the form of posterS, pamphlets, training films, and safety
record boards to develop and maintain employee interest in the safety program.
Each new employee should be thoroughly instructed in the general safety policies, rules, and procedures before
being referred to his supervisor for job training or job assignment This train!rig should be doeurnentecL In turn, the
supervisor should review thoroughly the safety measure of the particular job before he starts to work. The new
employee should be told of all ba:'ards that may be present, how to recogniZe these baTards if encountered, how to
avoid these hazards, and how tcb react in the event these haTards are encountered. Shbsequently, the employees should
be followed up closely to make'sure he understands and is adhering to the safety instructions applicable to his job.
The cooperation of the individual employee is vital to the success of a safety program. Continuing education is
required to make certain that management and employees alike do their pan in protecting the safety of the individual at
all times. Every available medium (safety books, posters, signs, newsletters, meetings, etc.) may be used to good
advantage in funhefing the objectives of such a program.
THE ACCIDENT PREVENTION OBJECTIVES OF THIS CORPORATION INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
To promote and implement a comprehensive safety progrmn for all employees to the end that everyone
is safety conscious both on and offthe job.
To eliminate or to provide suitable protection against all recognizable occupational baTards.
To devise procedures and practices that minimize the risk of accidents.
To instruct all employees of present hazards, how to recognize them, how to avoid the hazard, and what
to do in case one becomes involved with a hazard.
To disseminate as much educational information as is practical for the betterment of each individual's
health and safety and the health and safety of the. family.
Strengthen good, safety practices by example, by daily personal contact, by observation and evaluation,
and by regular communications between the employee and supervisor.

the job. ,
FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERES AND RESIDUES
Before employees axe permitted to enter confined spaces when a potentially hazardous am'tosphere
exists, the atmosphere shall be tested by a competent person to determine the concentration of
~ammable vapors or gases within the space.
When tests indicate that the atmosphere in the space to be entered contains a concentration of
~ammable vapor or gas greater than ten percent (10%) of the lower explosive limit, the space will be
ventilated to reduce the concentration below ten percent (10%) of the lower explosive limit before men
are allowed to enter.
Atmospheres immediately dangerous to li/~ are those which contain less than 16.5 % oxygen, or bv
reason oi' high ioxlcity of the contaminant, or high concentration of the contaminant. such as carbon
dioxide, will endanger the liti: of a person breathing them tbr even a short period of time.
TOXIC ATMOSPHERES AND RESIDUES
Employees are not allowed to enter a potentially haTardous confined space until the atmosphere in the
space has been tested for toxic atmosphere contaminants and the space inspected for the presence of
toxic or corrosive residues by a "competent person".
[f tests indicate that the atmosphere in the space to be entered is above the allowable concentration, the
space must be ventilated to reduce the concentration below the acceptable level.
C. Tests and inspections must be made and records kept as noted in paragraph 2 of this reference.
OXYGEN DEFICIENT tATMOSPHERES
Oxygen deficient atmospheres may include compartments that have been sealed, spaces that have been
coated and closed up, non-ventilated compmiments that have been freshly painted, cargo spaces
containing cargos or residue ofcargos which absorb oxygen (such as scrap iron or various chemicals).
[f the tests indicate that the atmosphere to be entered contains less than 16.5 % oxygen, the space shall
be ventilated until tests indicate an oxygen content above this level.

SUBJECT: EMERGENCY RESCUE PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEES WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES
This procedure deals primarily with rescue procedures tbr employees .requiring rescue from a confined space
such as a tank car, hold of a ship, boiler, etc.
I. RESPONSIBILITY
A. Supervisors are responsible for coordinating emergency pmd~dures. Since the emergency usually
dictates the procedure, the supervisor must depend on his own judgment in implementing the following
procedures.
B. A sufficient number of immediately available personnel must be fully trained in rescue procedures and a
rescue "drill" must be held at least monthly.
RESCUE EQUIPMENT
A. The following is'the minimum rescue equipment needed:
i. A sufficient number of self-contained breathing apparatus and sufficient tanks of oxygen or air.
ii. A sufficient number ofwristlets, lifelines, and body harnesses.
iii. A sufficient number of stokes baskets (marine) or stretchers.
iv. A sufficient number of emergency oxygen units (resuscitators).
B. The supervisor is responsible for seeing that the equipment is available immediately for use.
C. Employ~s must be fully trained in the use of all emergency equipment
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
A. Every supervisor must organize his own depm tment to take care of emergencies.
B. Each employee must be fully trained.
C. Emergency telephone numbers must be posted as appropriate. Remember, it's a matter of life and
death.
NORMAL RESCUE PROCEDURES
NOTE: The nature of the emergency dictates the procedures. This is only a guide.
A. If there is the slightest chance that an employee(s) has been overcome by a toxic atmosphere or because
of an oxygen deficient atmosphere, the approved self-contained breathing apparatus with self-contained
air supply must be worn by the employee entering the confined area to make the rescue.
B. The employee attending the lifeline should also be wearing a self-contained breathing apparatus.
C. There will be at least one additional employee present to assist the "attendant" in removing the affected
employee from the confined area.
It'applicable, a body harness, ~,n-~stlets, and lit~line ~',dI be used to lift affected employees through small
openings 'such a~ manholes, tanks cars, etc.
Immediately after the affected employee has been removed ti'om the confined space, he is to be given
artificial respiration with a resuscitator or other source of emergency oxygen. It is critically important to
do this as soon as possible.
While rescue procedures are in progress, an assigned employee is to call an ambulance and the hospital
(if appropriate) giving location and nature of injttW.
An additional employee will be assigmed to direct the ambulance to the accident scene.
Normally, only those employees who are trained and responsible fbr emergency rescue should be
involved. Other employees should not assist unless asked. This will eliminate confusion and employees
who are not trained could make fatal m/stakes.
I
The key to succ~essful emergency rescue is to have a highly trained rescue team with immediately
available rescue equipment.
SUBJECT: WELDING AND CUTTING
I. WELDING PERMITS
A,
Whenever cutting and welding with portable gas or electric equipment is to be done in any location not
regularly established and properly set up for that type ofol~.ratiOn, a curing and welding permit must be
properly issued before the start of such an operation.
CuRing and welding permits will be issued only by persons who have ben designated as division ~m
inspectors with the authorization of the plant manager.
C,
Division fire inspectors will be appointed in such a manner and to such a degree as is necessary to make
certain that such an inspector is available in each area and at all$ times when cutting and welding of this
nature may be required. Such division fire inspectors will be Selected on the recommendation of the
person responsible for safety in the division. The inspector ma~ be division maintenance supervisor, or
where that is nqt practical, some other man in supervisory capacit~ who is capable of assuming this
responsibility.
D,
The man responsible for safety in the division will see that the division fire inspectors are carefully and
completely instructed in the knowledge of the baTarcLs connected with cutting and welding, and in the
proper measures to be taken in order to prevent fire under such circumstances.
The appointment of the division fire inspector will be announced to the organization in a memorandum,
a copy of which is to be posted in each division's maintenance department.
When cutting and welding with portable equipment that is to be carried on, the person or persons
assigned to such work will apply to the division fire inspector in charge of the area where the work is to
be done and obtain from him a cutting and welding permit.
Before issuing the permit, the division fire inspector or designated plant personnel will inspect the scene
of the proposed operations with the operator or operators who are to do the work and will review the
conditions which exist. He will use the permit form as a checklist. All the information required is to be
filled in, and before giving permission for the job to be done he will make certain that the operators
have been provided with the necessary fire prevention measures and are thoroughly acquainted with all
precautions to be taken. All portable curing and welding rigs must be equipped with a 10 Ib., fully
charged, general purpose dnj chemical extinguisher.
H,
Upon completion of the permit card by the division fire inspector, the card will be signed by the
operator who is to perform the work and by the division fire inspector.
Upon completion of the job, the operator will return the permit to the division fire inspector who will
revisit the location of the work to ascertain that the job has been left in proper condition for safety
against fire.
The division fire inspector will turn in all permits for completed jobs to the person in charge of safety in
the division for proper filing
It is the responsibility of all supervision to see that no curing or welding of the nature described herein
is performed without a proper permit.
OPERATIONS
A. General
Spectacle type safety glasses (plain or prescription) must be worn under welding hoods or
goggles.
ii. Where welding is done regularly, the floor must be made ofnoncombustible material.
iii.
When possible, welding and cutting should be done in special fire-safe rooms with metal plate
floors. Welding and cutting should not be done directly on concrete floors.
iv.
If welding must be done over wood floors, they must be covered with fireproof blankets, metal,
or other noncombustible covering. Hot metal and slag should be kept from falling through floor
openings and igniting combustible material below. If cutting on presses with pits, be sure that
the pits al'e free fi'om oil and that a welding permit has been issued.
Sheet metal, flameproof canvas, or timproof curtains should be used around welding operations
to prevent sparks from reaching combustible material nearby. Care should be taken not to ignite
rubber hose or combustible material which cannot be shielded.
vi.
Welding and cutting should not be permitted in or near rooms containing flammable liquids,
vapors, or dusts. Neither should they be done in or near closed tanks or other containers which
have held flammable liquids until the containers have been thoroughly cleansed and air tests
indicate freedom from explosive gases or vapors.
vii.
No welding or cutting should be done on a surface until combustible deposits have been
removed.
viii.
Fire extinguishing equipment suitable to the type of exposure should be within easy reach of
welders and burners. When welding must be done near unshielded flammable material,
watchers should be stationed to prevent sparks or molten slag from starting fires or to extinguish
fires. :
Shields should be installed around spot welders to prevent sparks from reaching combustible
materials nearby or from injuring employees.
The welder must ensure that there is adequate ventilation, especially in confined places. When
welding or heating brass, bronze, galvanized or lead coated materials, special precautions are
necessary because of the toxic fumes given off by such materials.
xi. Oily rags or gloves shall never be left hanging on welding
xii. Welding rigs shall never be left outside aisle lines where trucks or tractors can knock them over.
xiii. All welding apparatus shall be equipped with "Reverse Flow Check Valves".
xiv. When welding rigs are equipped with storage compartments, they must be well ventilated.
Valves or oxygen and acetylene cylinders must be closed wher~ not in use. Valves must be
opened slowly. Valves must not be tbrcibly closed. Welders must not weld or heat a pan with
unvented sealed chambers.
Hoses
i. Hose must be protected ti'om being run over by trucks or otherwise damaged.
ii.
iii.
iv.
Where long hose must be used in areus exposed to vehicular or pedestrian traffic, it should be
suspended overhead, high enough to permit unobstructed! passage.
Leaks must be repaired at once. Hose leaks shall be repaired by using only approved mechanical
clamps for joining hoses. Under no condition shall tape be permitted on a hose.
Hose should be exam/ned periodically and frequently for le, aks and wear and for faulty hose
connecti{bns.
Hose should be protected from flying sparks, hot slag and other hot objects and from grease and
oil. Hose not in use shall be stored in a cool place.
vi.
When parallel links of oxygen and acetylene hose are fastened together for convenience and to
prevent tangling, approved mechanical clamps shall be used.
vii.
If a flashback occurs and burns in the hose, the entire I~ose shall be discarded. Any new hose
should be blown out before connecting it to ~e torch and} regulator.
viii. Never force hose connections. Foming them causes stripped threads and broken tomhes.
Tomhes
ii.
Before changing tomhes, the gas shall be cut off at the pressure reducing regulators and not by
crimping the hose.
When discontinuing welding and cutting, the following procedure shall be followed:
a. Close oxygen and acetylene cylinder valves.
Open torch valves to relieve all gas pressure from the hose.
Close torch valves and release regulator pressure adjusting screws.
iii.
The use of matches to light torches is forbidden. Friction lighters shall be use& When lighting
the torch tip shall be pointed so no one will be burned when the gas ignites. Never turn around
with a burning torch anless absolutely sure no one is near who is liable to be burned.
iv.
A torch shall never be put down until the gases have been completely shut off. Never leave a
burning torch hanging on figs, crates, etc., unattended while piling or getting material ready for
welding. Torches shall not be hung from a regulator or other equipment so that they come in
contact with the sides of gas cylinders. When extinguishing the flame, the acetylene and oxygen
valves shall be closed in the order recommended by the torch manufacturer.
a. Pressures, while using acetylene, should never exceed fifteen pounds per square inch ( 15
F~SI). Pressures exceeding 15 PSI create a potential explosion hazard caused by the
excess pressure breaking dox~m the acetylene into carbon and hydrogen.
v. Welders should never try to repair regulators or other welding equipment.
Arc Welding and Cutting
i. Welding cables should not lie in water, oil, ditches, or in bottoms of tanks. They should be kept
dry to prevent premature breakdown of the insulation.
ii. Welders shall notify their supervisor immediately of defective cables.
iii. Dipping hot electrode holders in water is forbidden.
iv. Cables sl]ould be protected against sparks in confined spaces.
v. Electrodes shall never be changed with bare hands or wet gloves or when standing on wet floors
or grounded surfaces.
vi. When, in the course of work, a cable (either work lead or electrode lead) becomes worn,
exposing bare conductors, the portion thus exposed should be protected by means of rubber
and/or friction tapes of equivalent protection.
vii. Cables should be supported overhead, if practicable. If this earmot be done, they should be
protected in such a manner that they will not be damaged or entangled.
viii. Special care should be taken to see that welding supply cables are not in proximity to power
supply cables or other high tension wires.
viv. All portable motor generator sets with rubber tires shall be equipped with proper ground wires
that are connected to the ground at all times while the generator is in use.

Do not store cylinders near aisles. or In locauons where mowng objects may strike or thll on them.
Cylinders containing acetylene should always be stored in a separate group, never with oxygen cylinders.
Use
Never mix gases in a cylinder.
Never attempt repairs to valves or brauges, return them to the Maintenance Deparhnent.
Make sure that the threads on regulators correspond to those on the cylinder valve outlet.
Never force connections that do not fit. Different threads and thread sizes are used on cylinders to prevent
intemhange of the equipment.
Cylinder valves should lie opened slowly to avoid pressure surges.
When "cracking the valve", i.e., opening the valve for an instant to clear the opening of dust or din, the
following precautions should be taken:
a. Never crack a valve near a flame or other sources of ignition.
b. Always point the valve opening away from the body but not toward anyone else.
c. Compressed gas cylinders containing highly toxic gas should not be opened to the atmosphere.
Never permit the gas to enter a regulator suddenly. Open all valves slowly.
Before removing a regulator from a cylinder, close the cylinder valve and release all gas from the regulator.
Never attempt to stop a leak between a cylinder and a regulator by tightening the adjusting nut, unless the
cylinder valve has been closed.
Do not allow sparks, molten metal, electric current, excessive heat or flames to come in contact with the
cylinder, the hose, or the .regulator.
Do not use oil or grease on attachments for oxygen cylinders. EXPLOSIVE
When valve protection hoods become frozen or filled with ice, let them thaw out in a warm room. Never use
steam to thaw them out.
Cylinders should never be used for any purpose other than containers for the particular gases for which they
were designed.
If cylinders are used in an upright position, they must be secured to a substantial structure to prevent their
falling over.
Never use compressed gas to dust off clothing.
Cylinder valves should be tightly closed when not in use or when empty.
Never use flame to detect gas leaks. Use soapy water.
4 17 Cylinders with leaking valves should be removed to a sat~ location and tagged as. having a det~ctive valve.

MA FERIALS f f,.\NDLING - GENERAL RULES
To establish safe operating standards tbr general materials handling.
All Departments
General
Materials handling and production methods affecting materials handling should be studied by every supervisor
as a specific phase of the safety pro/~'am.
Movement of materials should be continuous to produce ~'eatest efficiency and to avoid congestion.
Procedures shall be in c~?nformity with the following basic rules:
a. Keep materials moving uniformly through the process steps.
b. Minimize unnecessary rehandling.
c. Eliminate heavy manual lifting.
d. Reduce transport distances whenever possible.
e. Provide special handling equipment, such as conveyors, fork lift trucks, etc., when practicable.
These basic approaches simplify handling of materials and aid in the control of accidents. Where these
processes are organized, standard safe practices mast be developed, and increased accident control can be
accomplished.
Materials shall be delivered to each succeeding operation in units of proper size.
In general, materials shall be supplied and finished parts shall be removed at frequent intervals to eliminate
congestion, blocking of aisles, and attendant hazards.
Materials should be brought to each operation by conveyors, platforms, skids, etc., at the same height that they
will be used so that unnecessary manual or mechanical handling will be avoided.
Equipment for handling materials shall be especially designed to accommodate the size and type of materials
being moved.
Where material is handled manually, every effor~ shall be made to eliminate the necessity for lifting and to
substitute methods for pulling, pushing, or rolling loads.
Stacking Materials
At all points, materials shall be stored and/or piled in a safe manner.
Careful consideration should be given to the methods of loading materials for transporting so that haTnrds will
be minimized in the unloading of the item.
Storage stacks and loads on shop trucks, conveyors, etc., must be stable to minimize slips, slides, or tip-overs,
which create hazards to slow operations.

Loading Docks
Ample s0ace at loading and unloading docks shall be provided off the traveled aisles or roadways to permit
efficient operation without hampering the flow or' traffic.
Adequate bumper rails shall be installed parallel to loading docks, at distances which permit tracks and trailers
to back in without striking the dock.
Safe loading platforms of proper design shall be provided to compensate tbr horizontal and vertical differences
between truck bodies and the edge of the loading dock. Loading docks should be high enough to permit the
placing of loading platforms as nearly as possible in a horizontal plane. '
Loading platforms shall be fastened securely to prevent displacement while in use.
Consideration should be given to the desibm, construction, and use of speci,al aids in connection with loading
and unloading operatioqs to lessen inherent handling hazards.
SUBJECT:
PURPOSE:
CRANES AND LIFTING EQUIPMENT
'Fo reduce hazards to an absolute minimum in moving of equipment, materials, and assemblies t:com one
processing unit to another by means of cranes, cables, hoists, and overhead lifting devices.
Special Note: The immediate supervisor and a member of the Safety Depmiment must be present when
heavy or unusual lifts and/or firing is to be made. i Dangerous lifts must be pre-planned.
Crane Operations (General)
1.0 Cranes shall be operated only by regular crane operators, authorized .substitutes, crane repairmen, or crane
inspectors.
I. I Hookers and riggers shall be responsible for the safe handling of all crane loads under their control and shall
not permit any persons t~p dissuade them from such duties nor shall they pern4it any unsafe practice to be carried
on in connection with such loads as long as the load is under their direction.
1.2 Crane loads shall not be carried over personnel
Acetylene generators or cylinders of compressed gases shall not be moved by crane unless they are loaded in
properly equipped cradles.
Exceeding the rated capacity of cranes is prohibite& Engineering shalli specify the product weight on all shop
blue prints to prevent overload.
1.3 All loads should be lifted vertically and side pulls avoided: When necessary to guide the load, guidelines
should be used.
1.4 No personnel shall be allowed to ride the magnet of a crane.
1.5 Magnet cranes, when not in use, must have the magnet resting on the ground or floor.
Crane Operators and Riggers
2.0 Loads shall not be moved unless the standard crane signals are given, seen, and understood.
2. I Crane operators shall take signals from one authorized person on the ground or floor and shall not move the
crane until signals are received.
2.2 Always grab chains or slings above the load when holding the slack before hoisting.
2.3 Keep hands and feet clear of pinch points. Be alert for "nesting" or rolling of material as it is raised or lowered.
2.4 Always stand clear of the load so that, if it swings, slips, or spills, you will not be injured.
2.5 Riggers must be trained to determine the weight of the load and select the proper size and type of hooks, chains,
etc.
2.6 Employees are not permitted to fide the hood or the load.
2.7 Both ends of idle slings are to be secured to the hooks.
2.8 Slings should be padded where they pass over sharp edges of corners of:loads to prevent cutting or kinking.
2.9 Tag lines should be provided on all loads likely to swing or to need ~,naidance.
2. [0 When making choker hitches with chain slings, always face the hook opening out and away from the pull of the
sling so the hooks will not slip out when slack is taken out of the slings.
2. [ [ Side pull should be avoided.
2.12 Riggers are responsible for making safe "hook-ups".
SUBJECT: RIGGER RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Supervisors must recogllize that employee safety, as well as the preservatio~ of equipment and materials, must
be considered in the planning of lifting operations. Employees must be taught to rig loads carefully.
2. Personal protective equipment must be worn - safety shoes, gloves, safety glasses, hard hats, etc.
3. Hitching equipment must be checked before and after each use. Worn topes and broken chains cannot be used
safely, so frequent inspection should concentrate on finding broken linkS, strands, or fibers.
4. Excessive wear in cable slings can be readily detected by frayed, [oose~ or cut strands. Watch for fixed kinks.
Any sign of corrosion is a signal that the cable is probably defective.
5. Chain links must work freely within one another. Look for cracks, flaws, cold shuts, cuts, nicks, stretching, etc.
6. Whenever sling inspection uncovers a defect, the sling must be withdrawn immediately from service and
marked or tagged conspicuously to ensure against its use. Frequently, only the manufacturer is capable of
repairing a defective sling.
7. Hooks will show wear by straightened tines, as well as cracks and flaws. Check for these. Get replacements
for load hooks that are bent open. Once a hook has been overloaded, it can no longer be used safely.
8. Any heavy lifting job calls for the proper size hoist capacity. Using the wrong sling can be dangerous. It is
wrong to assume that all chain slings, wire rope slings, or fiber rope slings have the same capacity and are
correct for all lifting tasks.
9. Consider the angle of inclination of chain sling branches. Using a sling that is too short, thus reducing the angle
of inclination, will cut down your safety margin. Use the Chain Capacity Chart.
10. Always place pads on sharp corners with which slings and chains might~ otherwise come into contact especially
in cases where the slings might slide during the lifting operation.
I 1. Shake out twists and kinks before loading; don't permit kinky slings to be used. Don't use a sling where a kink
cannot be removed.
12. Be careful to avoid placing a chain or cable so that the weight of the load is carried on the point of the hook.
Load slings with the weight on the main portion (bowl) of hooks.

Never use a wire cable singly when hooked by a spliced eye. When the weight is sufficient, the cable is liable
to untwist, allowing the'splices to open and slip.
Splicing chains or shortening chains with bolts, etc., is prohibited.
In using slings of any kind, see that they are properly laid; that is, see that one cable does not lie on top of the
other, as this will prevent proper equalization, thus putting an undue strain on the outer member.
Try to keep pull on sling legs in a straight line. Choker and basket hitches may be used as slings but only after a
careful check of safe load limits has been made.
Foreign substances such as grit, bits of metal, and glass particles are harmful to cables and ropes. Never drag
cables and ropes across the floor or ground.
Standard craneman's signals should be used and given by one person only.
I
When giving signals, the crane rigger should be sure he is in a position. where the crane operator can see him.
When two hoists are being used, the crane rigger must stand so that the crane operator can understand clearly
the signal for each hoist.
Before signaling the crane operator to hoist, the crane rigger should see that the crane block is directly over the
load to avoid swinging.
Avoid unbalanced loads. [f hooks are beyond your reach, ask for help, and never force a hook or chain into
place by hammering.
Avoid sudden jerking when lifting or lowering, as this can increase the stress put on the chain or hook far
beyond the actual weight of the load.
[f it is necessary to walk alongside a suspended or elevated load, stand or walk clear of the load, never
underneath it. Use a tag line or pole to guide or hold the load. Be certain that your path of travel is free of
obstructions before you begin.
Material being piled should be properly placed and blocked so that it will not slip or overbalance. Stack
material neatly. Cross tie and step back where necessary.
Avoid crushing slings when lowering loads. Use cribbing blocks under the load to remove slings.
Roll or bend cables in one direction. Never bend first in one direction then another.
Hitching equipment not in use shouldn't remain loose on hoisting devices but should be removed from crane
hooks, hoists, and loads.
Chains should be hung over the top of the A-frame storage rack and looped so that no part of them touches the
floor when not in use. This method will permit easy examination of the most frequently damaged areas of
slings, i.e. the hook, the lower third of the sling, and the master link where you can check the ID tag. Also, the
crane operator will not need a rigger to unhook and the rigger will not have to lit~ "much" to hook on.
29. Good housekeeping throughout the operation will help to control the hazards of mechanical lifting.
30. Each rigger will be issued a copy of"Handbook tbr Riggers" and become acquain. ted with the contents. (Ord.er
tYom "Handbook tbr Riggers", Box 2999, Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
Special Note: Betbre making dangerous or unusual lifts make certain that the immediate supervisor is notified
and present.

Each worker sho, uld be briefed on the cleaning procedure and be assured that he will always receive a
clean and disinfected respirator. Such assurances are of greatest significance when respirators are not
individually assigned to workers.
C. Respirators maintained for emergency use shall be cleaned and d!sinfected after each use.
D. The following procedure is recommended for cleaning and disinfecting respirators:
I. Remove any filters, cartridges, or canisters.
2. Wash facepiece and breathing tube in cleaner-disinfectant or detergent solution.
3. Rinse completely in clean, warm water.
4. A~r dry in a Glean area.
5. Clean other respirator parts as recommended by manuthcturer.
6. Inspect valves, headstraps, and other parts. Replace with new parts if defective.
7. Insert new filters, cartridges, or canisters. Make sure seal is tight.
8. Place in plastic bag or container for storage.
Cleaner-disinfectant solutions are available that effectively clean the respirator and contain a
bactericidal agent.

fhe helicopter ~s an effective, usetiM, and sail: tool tbr the oil indust~. There are many types and
models operating ti'om hellports along the Gulf Coast. Some of the most popular models are: Bell 206B, Bell
206L, Bell 212, and the Sikorsky S-76. A briefing card tbllows fbr each of these models showing seating
capacity, door latch mechanisms, cargo areas, rotor danger areas, onboard safety equipment, and emergency
exits. Be t~.miliar with these cards.
Boarding and Loading
Maniti:st: Prior to boarding the helicopter, the pilot needs your name, company affiliation, and
weight. The weight is a total of passenger weight, baggage weight, and cargo weight.
2. Approaching the Aircraft:
The bestI time to board the helicopter is when the blades ire stopped, but this is not always
practical.' So stay clear of the hellport prior to the helicopter landing or taking off Always
approach the helicopter within the pilot's normal field of'vision.
b,
BE AWARE OF THE TIP PATH OF THE MAIN ROTOR BLADES AND STAY WEE
BELOW IT. IN SOME WIND CONDITIONS THE: MAIN ROTOR BLADES CAN DIP
BELOW THE SIX FOOT LEVEL.
DANGER, the section around the tail rotor blades is the most dangerous area around the
helicopter. The tail rotor blades are turning. Keep other long objects horizontal when
approaching a running helicopter.

Description
ElM Furtonic II 8~,957 Module
controls valve by comparing two
inputs (the desired ,position from
proceSs controller or ;Computer and
a~ual valve position),=df ttle two are
equal, valve will not ~rnove. When
the setpoint moves, outside of
bandwidth, valve moves in the
direction to make InputIs balance.
Calibration
After all field wiring!de complete,
Position UrnIt switch,~s have been
set and the Pot adjusted proceed as
follows'.
1. Voltmeter probes (+) in Red
(FB) test point and (-) In Black
(GND) test point.
2. Close valve: Mets~ should read
I volt OC. If It does not adjust
ZERO.
3. Open valve: Meter should read
5 volts DC. If it dd~s not adjust
tP_ ,
4, Repeat steps 2 arlld 3 until no
adjustments ere napery.
5. After a comman~ signal has
been connected,. adjust the
BAND WIDTH es ~et the valve
moves to the desired setpoint
without 'hunlfr~ orllrnoving back
and forth across the~setpolnt.
6. Adjust the DELAY!!TO allow the

DISINFECTION OF WATER-STORAGE
FACILITIES
SECTION 1: GENEP-,AL
Sec. 1.1 Scope
This standard for disinfection of water-storage facilities covers materials, £acii-
ity preparation, application of dlalnfectant'to interior surfaces of facilities, and
sampling and testing for the presence of celiforrn bacteria The standard also

storage facilities, but does not cover the technical aspects of underwater inspection.
All new storage facilities shall be disinfected before [~ey are placed in service. All
storage facilities taken out of service for inspecting, repairing, painting, cleaning, or
other activity that might lead to contamination of wa~er shaJl be disinfected before
they are returned to service.

Sec. 1.3 Record of Compliance
The record of compliance shall be the bacteriological test results certifying that
the water held in the storage fac~/ty is free of coliform bacteria contamination.
SECTION 2: CLEANING
All scaffolding, planks, tools, rags, and other materials not part of the struc-
tural or b~n~rating facilities of the tank shall be removed. Then the surfaces of the
walls, floor, and operating facilities of the storage facility shall be cleaned
thoroughly using a high-pressure water jet, sweeping, scrubbing, or equally effect/ve
roearia. All water, dirt, and foreign material accumulated in this clean'rag operation
shall be discharged from the storage facility or otherwise removed.
Sec. 2.1 Other Materials
Following the clenni,~g operation, the vent screen, over/low screen, and any
other screened openings shall be checked ~ put in satisfactory condition to pre-
vent birds, insects, and other poss~le con+~m~nants from entering the facility. Any
material required to be in the operating storage facility al~r the cleaning procedure
has been completed shall be clean and sanitary when placed in the facility, In such
instances, care shall be taken to minimize the introduction of dirt or other foreign
material. (For example, placing a layer of limestone granules on the unpainted
bottom of the storage facility to prevent corrosion. )
SECTION 3: FORMS OF CHLORINE FOR
DISINFECTION
The forms of chl0rin~"that may be used in the disinfecting +perations ar'~'hquid
chlorihe, so~um hypochlorite solution, and calcium hypochlorite granules or tablets.
Sec. 3.1 Liquid Chlorine
Liquid chlorine conforming to ANSI/AWWA B301 contains 100 percent avail-
able chlorine and is packaged in steel containers usually of 100-1b, 150-1b, or l-ton
(45.4-kg, 68.0-kg, or 907.2-kg) net chlorine weight. Liquid chlorine shall be used only
(1) in combination with appropriate gas-flow chlorinators and ejectors to provide a

controlled high-concentration solution feed to the water to be chlorinated; (2) under
the direct supervision of a person who is familiar with chlorine's physiological,
chemical, and physical properties, and who is trained and equipped to handle any
emergency that may a. rise; and (3) when appropriate safety practices are observed to
protect working personnel and the public.
Sec. 3.2 Sodium Hypochlorite
Sodium hypochlofite conforming to ANSI/AWWA B300 is available in liquid
form in glass, rubber-lined, or plastic containers typically ranging in size from 1 qt
(0.95 L) to 5 gal (18.92 L). Containers of 30 gal (113.6 L) or larger may be available
in some areas. Sodium hypochlorite contains approximately 5 percent to 15 percent
avafiable chlorine by volume, and care must be taken to control storage conditions
and length of storage to minimize its deterioration.
Sec. 3.3 Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypocldorite conforming to ANSI/AWWA 3300 is available in granular
form or in small tablets, and contsinn approximately 65 percent available chlorine
by weight. The material should be stored in a cool, dry, dark environment to mird-
mize its deterioration.
SECTION 4: ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF
CHLORINATION
Three methods of chlorination are explained in this standard. Typically, only
one method will be used for a given storage-facility disinfection, but comb'mations of
the methods may be used. The three methods are (1) chlorination of the full storage
facility such tJ~At, at the end of the appropriate retention peri(~l, the water will have
a free chlorine residual of not less than 10 rag/L; (2) spraying or painting of all
storage facility water-contact surfaces with a solution of 200-mg/L available chlorine;
and (3) chlorination of full storage facility with water having a free chlorine residual
of 2mg/Lafter24h.*
Sec. 4.1 Chlorination Method 1
The water-s[brage facility shall be filled to the overflow level with petable
water to which enough chlorine is added to provide a free chlorine residual in the
full facility of not less than 10 mg/L at the end of the appropriate 6-h or 24-h period.
as described in Sec. 4.1.4. The chlorine, either as calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypo-
chlorite, or liqufa chlor'me,-shall be introduced into the water as described hereafter.
4.1.1 Liquid-chlorine usc. Liquid chlorine shall ~e introduced into the water
filling the storage facility in such a way as to give a uniform chlorine concentration
during the entire filling operation. Portable chlorination equipment shall be care-
fully operated and shall include a liquid-chlorine cylinder, gas-flow chlorinator,
chlorine ejector, safety equipment, and an appropriate solution tube to inject the
high-concentration chlorine solution into the filling water. The solution tube shall be
*For reference, mounts of chemicals needed for vanou~ chlorine concentrations are shown
in appendix A, Table A.1.

inserted through an appropriate valve located on the inlet pipe and near the storage
facility such that the chlorine solution wfil mix readily with the irdlowing water.
4.1.2 Sodium hypochlorite use. Sodium hypochlorite shall be added to the
water entering the storage facility by means of a chemical-feed pump, or shall be
applied by hand-pouring into the storage facility and allowing the infiowing water to
provide the desired robring.
4.1.2.1 When a chemical-feed pump is used, the concentrated chlorine solution
shall be pumped through an appropriate solution tube so as to inject the high-con-
centration chlorine solution at a rate that will give a uniform chlorine concentration
in the filling water. The solution tube shall be inserted through an appropriate valve
located on the inlet pipe and near the storage facility, or through an appropriate
valve located on the storage facility such that the chlorine solution will mix readily
with the filling water.
4.1.2.2 When the sodium hypochlorite is poured into the storage facility, the
filling of the storage facility shall begin immediately therea.P~r or as soon as any
removed manhole covers can be dosed. The sodium ~ypochlorite may be poured
through the deanout or inspection manhole in the lower course or level of the stor-
age facility, in the riser pipe of an elevated tank, or through the roof manhole. The
sodium hypochlorite shall be poured into water in ths storage facility when such
water is not more than 3 ft (0.9 m) in depth, nor less than I ft (0.3 m) in depth or as
close thereto as manhole locations permit. :
4.1.3 Calcium hypochlorite ase. Calcium hypochlorite granules or tablets bro-
ken or crushed to sizes not larger than ~'4-in. (6.4-rnrn~ maximum dimension may be
poured or carried into the storage facility through the deanout or inspection man-
hole in the lower course or level of the storage facility, into the riser pipe of an
elevated tank, or through the roof manhole. The granules or tablet parrids sixall be
placed in the storage facility before flowing water into it. The granules or tablets
shall be located so that the in~owing water will ensure a current of water cirouiat-
ing through the calcium hypochlorite, dissolving it during the filling operation. The
calcium hypoclxlorite shall be placed only on dry surfaces unless adequate precau-
tions axe taken to provide ventilation or protective breathing equipment.
4.1.4 Retention period. After the storage facility has been filled with the disin-
fecting water, it shall stand full as follows: (1) for a period of not less than 6 h when
the water entering the storage facility has been chlorinated urdform]y by gas-feed
equipment or chemical pump, or (2) for a period of not less than 24 h when the
storage facility h~s been filled with water that has been mixed with sodium hypo-
ch]orite or calcium hypochlorite within the storage facility as described in Sec. 4.1.2
and Sec. 4.1.3.
4.1.5 Handling of disinfection water. After the retention' period stated in
Sec. 4.1.4, the ~-ree- chlorine residual in the storage :~xcility shall be reduosd to a
concentration appropriate for distribution (not more than 2 ~xg/L} by completely
draining the storage facility and refilling with petable water, or by a combination of
additional holding time and blending with potable water having a low chlorine con-
centration. When an appropriate chlorine concentration is reached and subject to
satisfactory bacteriological testing and acceptable aesthetic quality, such water may
be delivered to the distribution system.
4.1.5.1 The environment into which the chlorinated water is to be discharged
shall be inspected, and if there is any likelihood that the chlorinated discharge will
cause damage, then a reducing agent shall be applied to the water to be wasted to
thoroughly neutralize the chlorine residual in the water. Federal, state, or local
