G1.3

Recommended Safe Procedure/Protection Section shall identify how the hazards willbe either eliminated or how exposure to the hazard(s) will be minimized.

Job Safety and Environmental Analysis shall be developed daily for tasksconducted. JSEA preparation is a group activity coordinated by the First LineSupervisor or Offshore Superintendent. The supervisor will complete the first draftof the JSEA form. The supervisor or task leader will be responsible for engaging allemployees working on the job in the review process:

reviewing the proposed sequence of job steps,

identifying hazards

determining the necessary safeguards.

assigning responsible individual(s)

The JSEA review meeting shall be held immediately preceding the work, so that the

actual work environment will be known and the JSEA can be used to familiarize thecrew with the job. The completed JSEA form must be reviewed and signed by allwho will work on the job and posted at the jobsite. The job supervisor shallcommunicate the JSEA to affected personnel within work area.

Note: At anytime a new task is started or the current task’s condition(s) orsituation(s) change work must “STOP” and the JSEA must be updated or rewritten.

Monitoring the JSEA Process

Management is accountable for ensuring that periodic audits of the JSEA process

are conducted. Audit findings should be documented and communicated to thoseresponsible for implementing the process. Improvement actions should be identifiedand implemented to address any shortfalls identified in the audit process.

Routine Monitoring

On-site supervisors shall routinely monitor the JSEA process on their jobs. Theyshould check to see that:

the process is being applied effectively,

safety and environmental hazards are being identified and addressed

the right people are involved in JSEA preparation

JSEA’s are followed once the job commences 

Jobs are suspended and JSEA’s modified when conditions change. 

Shortfalls identified during routine monitoring should be corrected immediately at thelocal level. If this is not possible, the next level of supervision should be engaged.

G1.4

Documentation

The Hazard/Risk Assessment should be documented using the Job Safety andEnvironmental Analysis form (see Attachment 1-Offshore and/or (see Attachment 2-Dynamic facilities) (see Attachment 3 - JSEAs for loading and unloading Trucks)

Job Safety and Environmental Analysis Steps

The basic steps in completing a Job Safety and Environmental Analysis are: (see Attachment 4 for Job Safety and Environmental Analysis Flow Chart)

Step 1: Select the Job for Analysis

First, define the job to be analyzed. Large work packages should be divided intosmaller jobs or tasks, and these should be analyzed using the JSEA process.

Jobs suitable for JSEA can be performed in a day or less. JSEA shall be written indetail to the way the job shall be performed. Examples include:

Operating a piece of machinery

Making an equipment repair

Installing Piping

Perform a jobsite Hazard Review utilizing the Pre-task Hazard AssessmentInspection Checklist on back of JSEA.

Step 2: Break the Job down into Steps (Basic Job Steps)

The job should be broken down into a sequence of steps, or actions, required toperform the job. The breakdown should not be so detailed that an unnecessarilylarge number of steps result, or so general that basic steps are not recorded.

To determine the basic job steps, ask:

“What action starts the job?”, then 

“What must be done next?” 

 And so on, until the entire job is described.

Note: Consider if simultaneous activities may affect the operation of this task?

The description of each step should begin with an action word, like “Remove”,“Open”, “Weld”, “Secure”, etc.

Pre-job preparations (inspections, lock-out / tag-out, etc.) and post-job requirements(clean-up, removal of locks and tags, etc.) should be included in the job steps.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 189/961

 

G1.5

The job steps should be reviewed with experienced employees and those who willdo the work to be sure that the order is correct and no steps have been left out.

Step 3: Identify Hazards and Potential Accident Causes (Potential SH&E Concerns)

The purpose of this step is to identify all potential hazards associated with each step.Hazards introduced by the work environment and the job tasks should both beconsidered. Any hazards identified on the Pre-task Hazard Assessment InspectionChecklist (back of JSEA) shall be identified within this portion of the JSEA.

The following questions can be used to help identify hazards:

Is there a danger of striking against, being struck by, or making otherundesired contact with an object or machinery?

Can an employee be caught in, by, or between objects or machinery?

Is there potential for a slip, trip or fall on the same level or to another?

Can employees strain themselves by pushing, pulling, lifting, bending, ortwisting?

 Are all energy sources (electrical, mechanical, and process) controlled forprotection?

 Are there hazards associated with simultaneous activities, which may affectthis task?

Other resources, such as Hazard Assessments, Work Permits or etc., can also beused to identify hazards.

Record the hazards identified in the “Potential SH&E Concerns” column of the JSEAform using the following format: “Undesired result + hazard”. For example, “Struckby hammer”, “Slip on wet floor”, “Shocked by electric motor”, “Burned by hot metal”,“Fall from elevated work platform”. 

Step 4: Develop Solutions (Recommended Safe Procedure / Protection)

Next, those involved in the job must recommend safe job procedures, or protection,

to prevent the “Potential SH&E Concerns” identified in Step 3. Potential solutionsmust be “observable acts” and may include: 

Find a new way to do the job.

Change the physical condition that creates the hazard

Change the work procedure

Use proper safety equipment or safe practices

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 190/961

 

G1.6

Reduce the task frequency (particularly helpful in maintenance and materialhandling)

 A solution must be developed for each hazard identified. Solutions should berecorded in the “Recommended Safe Procedure / Protection” column of the JSEAform. Precisely state what to do and how to do it. Job Steps should be modified, if

necessary. If steps are modified, they should be reviewed again to see if any newhazards have been introduced.

Required safety equipment and PPE should be recorded on the JSEA form.

Note: Assign specific individual(s) the responsibility for implementing the safeprocedures or protection required. Identify this individual(s) within the “CoordinatingParty” column of the JSEA. 

Step 5: Review and Buy-in

 All workers should review the completed JSEA form. They should indicate theiragreement with the Job Steps to be performed and the safety precautions to betaken by signing the form. At this point, work may begin.

 Any other people or groups that may be impacted by the work described on theJSEA should be made aware of the planned work and associated hazards orinterface concerns. This can be accomplished through the location’s Permit to WorkSystem, planning meetings or other site-specific methods of communication.

 At this point, work may begin.

Step 6: Modify JSEA If Conditions Change

The job must be suspended (stopped) and the JSEA must be reviewed if theconditions surrounding the job change, for example:

The work environment changes due to simultaneous activities, weather, orother causes

The personnel on the job change

The tools or equipment to be used change

Before work can resume:

The JSEA must be modified to reflect changes

Changes must be communicated to all involved and affected personnel

The workers must sign off on the modified form

Hazards

 A respiratory hazard, called silicosis, is the prevalent hazard. There are 3 types ofsilicosis:

1. Chronic/classic: The most common, usually occurring after 10 years ofexposure to low concentrations. Symptoms may or may not be obvious.Some symptoms in late stages of silicosis may include fatigue, shortness ofbreath, chest pain or respiratory failure.

2. Accelerated silicosis: Can occur after only 5-10 years of high exposure torespirable crystalline silica.

3. Acute silicosis: Occurs after a few weeks to a few years following exposure toextremely high concentrations of crystalline silica.

Exposure occurs during many different construction activities. The most severeexposures have occurred during abrasive blasting with sand to remove paint andrust from surfaces. Silica dust causes severe fungal infections to develop; thiscondition could be fatal.

I2.4

Methods of Compliance

Methods of compliance that reduce or eliminate the risk of exposure includeEngineering Controls, Administrative Controls, Safe Work Practices and Training.

Engineering Controls

Engineering Controls, methods of isolating or removing a hazard from theworkplace, are one of the most effective methods of hazard reduction. Engineeringcontrols will be utilized to eliminate and / or reduce the exposures of respiratoryhazards associated with abrasive blasting below the PEL. Examples of theengineering controls to be utilized is:

Ventilation

Containing of area utilizing screens or heavy canvas

The use of alternative blast media

Recovery Systems

Blasting Rooms or cabinets

Deadman controls on airlines.

Personal and area air sampling will be performed per Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries Occupational Health section of this manual. Air monitoring resultsshould confirm that the engineering controls, administrative controls, Safe Work

Practices and Personal Protective Equipment being utilized are protecting theemployee from hazards related to abrasive blasting. Should air monitoring resultsindicate the hazards are not controlled under the NIOSH PEL, the abrasive blastingprocess will be stopped until appropriate controls are reevaluated and implemented.

The following minimum Personal Protective Equipment shall be worn at all timesduring the abrasive blasting process:

Respiratory Protection (Supplied-Air Respirator helmet or bullet hood withinner shield)

Hearing Protection

Gloves (leather)

Steel toed shoes

When needed, Tyvek Suit to be worn over work clothes

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 260/961

 

I2.5

The main type of respiratory protection for personnel using blast equipment will be aSupplied- Air Respirator (SAR) otherwise known as a helmet or “bullet hood”. Thisprotects the user by protecting his head, respiration, neck, and shoulders. Theregulator is carried on the waist normally, using a belt clip. The hood constantlyblows breathing air on the user, which keeps the hood at a slight positive pressureabove ambient atmospheric pressure. This pressure will prevent contaminants fromentering the hood, since air is escaping out.

The air used for Supplied Air Respirators shall be of Grade D breathing air, which isair of high purity. Grade D breathing air must meet the following standards:

Oxygen 19.5%-23.5%

Hydrocarbons - 5 mg per cubic meter or less

Carbon Monoxide - 10ppm or less

Carbon Dioxide - 1000ppm or less

Lack of noticeable odor

Suitable in-line air purifying sorbent beds and filters shall be used to ensurebreathing air quality. Sorbent beds and filters shall be maintained and replaced orrefurbished periodically following the manufacture’s recommendations. 

If oil lubricated compressor is providing air to the airline respirator, the followingconditions shall be confirmed:

High temperature or carbon monoxide alarm or both, to monitor carbon

monoxide levels. If only high temperature alarms are used, the air supplyshall be monitored at intervals (i.e. at least daily) sufficient to prevent carbonmonoxide in the breathing air from exceeding 10 ppm.

 Air lines and fittings that supply respirable air shall not be interchangeable to otherservices.

 All respirators shall be cleaned in warm water with a mild detergent or with a cleanerrecommended by the manufacturer and properly stored after each use.

Administrative Controls

 Administrative controls will be utilized when the Facility Manager or designeedetermines or is advised that engineering controls are not providing adequateprotection. Administrative controls can consist of the following:

Scheduling of the abrasive blasting process

Rotating Job Assignments

Medical Surveillance

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 261/961

 

I2.6

Medical Surveillance

 All employees who run the risk of coming in contact with airborne silica dust will gothrough the following procedures:

Pre-employment physical with a physician. This will include a medical &

occupational history to collect data on a worker’s past exposure.

Pulmonary function test (PFT) and evaluation by medical personnel for pre-employment and annually there after.

Respirator Protection Questionnaires to be filled out be employees andevaluated by medical personnel.

Chest X-rays for pre-employment physical and every three (3) years thereafter.

Quantitative or Qualitative fit test to assess the adequacy of respirator fit pre-employment and annually there after. Note: all personnel taking either fittest must  be clean-shaven! 

More frequent examinations may be necessary for workers at risk or acute oraccelerated silicosis. Exams should include at least the following:

Medical and Occupation history to collect data on worker exposure

Chest X-ray

Pulmonary Function Testing

 Annual Evaluation for Tuberculosis

The utilization of personal air monitoring and medical evaluations by the CompanyPhysician will determine if more frequent examinations should be conducted.

 Anytime an employee is diagnosed with silicosis, the State Health Department andOSHA will be notified. All cases of silicosis are recordable under the OSHARecordkeeping guidelines.

Safe Work Practices

Methods that reduce the exposure during a task or procedure will be used tominimize exposure. All employees who have the potential of coming in contact withblasting operations shall follow the following Safe Work Practices:

Know which work operations can lead to silica exposure. Signage will beutilized to identify these areas within the facility.

I2.7

Employees should employ the use of hand-washing and hygiene facilitiesbefore eating, drinking or smoking and after a job has been completed.

Do not eat, drink, use tobacco, products, or apply cosmetics in areas wherethere is dust containing crystalline silica.

Wash hands and face before eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics

outside of the exposure area.

If possible, change into disposable or washable work clothes at the worksite;shower (where available) and change into clean clothing before leaving theworksite.

 All PPE should be thoroughly cleaned or disposed of, if applicable. (see Attachment 1)

 Areas adjacent to blasting operations shall be properly protected with the useof sand screens to prevent emissions to areas other than blasting areas.

Tarps or screens should be installed whenever airborne emissions becomean irritant to adjacent work areas where employees are working, or wherethere is a safety issue, as in blasting on lead painted surfaces. Tarps orscreens that are installed on lead painted structures that will be blasted will beapproved by the SH&E Department prior to any blasting activities beginning.

Employees shall follow the procedure for hooking up blast hoses. (See Attachment 2)

Housekeeping 

Good housekeeping involves a regular schedule of housekeeping activities toremove accumulations of dust and debris. The schedule should be adapted toexposure conditions at a particular worksite. 

Supervision

Good supervision is another important work practice. It provides neededsupport for ensuring that workers follow proper work practices. By directing aworker to position the exhaust hood properly or to improve work practice, asupervisor can do much to minimize unnecessary employee exposure to

airborne contaminants.

Various types of blasting media may be used, depending on clientspecifications. Precautions should be made with each media type and safework practices implemented as such.

Material safety data sheets are to be referenced for each blasting media to beutilized and all appropriate precautions should be taken as indicated in datasheets regarding safety, health and environmental concerns.

I2.8

Blasting nozzles are equipped with dead-man controls to allow the operator tostart and stop blasting with one hand.

Dead-man controls shall never be taped or wired open. This would not allowthe operator to shut down blasting rapidly, should the need occur.

Pressure pots (i.e. sand pots) shall meet the most current ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel Code requirements

Pressure pots shall have all associated equipment (i.e. locking valves,gauges, etc) identified within attachment 2.

Energy Isolation Procedures (i.e. Lockout / Tagout) shall be followed prior andduring the loading of all pressure pots (i.e. sand pots). Only the OffshoreSuperintendent or designated Foreman shall open sand pots.

Machines, hoses and equipment (i.e. deadman controls, sand pots, etc.) must

be inspected daily with deficiencies logged down. Defective equipment mustbe replaced immediately before work is resumed.

 All hoses shall have safety pins and whipchecks on the connectors to preventinadvertent disconnection.

Never adjust nozzle with the abrasive f lowing .

Respirators shall be inspected before each use and during cleaning, and shallbe cleaned after each use. Respirator inspection shall include the following:

o  Check for function, tightness of connections, and the condition of thedifferent parts including, but not limited to, the face piece, head straps,valves, connection tube, cartridges, and filters. 

o  Check plastic and rubber parts for pliability and signs of deterioration. 

o   All inspections shall be done per manufacturer’s specifications. 

o  If using respirators, do not alter the respirator in any way.

 All areas that are adjacent to blasting operations shall be properly guarded

against sand emissions by the use of blasting screens or tarpaulin. Noblasting shall be conducted until all areas are appropriately guarded and allareas are protected.

PROCEDURE FOR HOOKING UP

BLAST HOSE AND TWIN LINE

The following is a procedure for hooking up the blast hose and the twin lines to prevent twin lines from getting

crossed over to another blast hose.

1)  Each section of blast hose will be laid out with its twin lines. The blast hose and twin lines will betaped together.

2)  When connecting sections of blast hose and twin lines, the blast hose will have a safety pin in the

crowfoot connection and a whip check will be installed on both ends of the blast hose connections.

3)  A “deadman” is connected to the end of the twin line once the needed length of blast hose and twin

lines has been connected together. Note: The twin line that connects to the “deadman” MUST have a

safety shutoff valve in the “Supply Air” line.(Refer to Picture 1)  

Picture 1 

4)  When connecting the twin lines to the control valves on the sand pot a qualified employee will connect

the “Supply Airline” of the twin lines to the “Supply Air Fitting” on the control valve of the sand pot.

(Refer to picture 2)

Picture 2

5)  The “Return Airline” coming from the “deadman” to the control valve on the sand pot will not be

hooked up to the control valve on the sand pot at this time.

6)  The qualified employee will open the valve to supply air to the control valves. He will hold the “return

airline” and have the blaster activate the “deadman”. If air comes out of the “return line” then he will

have the blaster release the “deadman”. This verifies that this twin line is connected to the correct

“deadman”. (refer to picture 3)

DEFINITIONS

8-hour TWA Concentration - 8-hour Time-Weighted Average concentrations

for airborne contaminants - common units for reporting daily airbornealuminum exposures. This is the aluminum exposure received per dayexpressed as a constant exposure for eight (8) hours at a steady stateconcentration.

 Aluminum - Aluminum is the most abundant metal and the third mostabundant element, after oxygen and silicon, in the earths crust. It is widelydistributed and constitutes approximately 8 percent of the earth’s surfacelayer. However, aluminum is a very reactive element and is never found asthe free metal in nature. It is found combined with other elements, mostcommonly with oxygen, silicon, and fluorine. Aluminum metal is light in

weight and silvery-white in appearance. Since pure aluminum is very soft,aluminum is often mixed with small amounts of other metals to form aluminumalloys, which are stronger and harder.

Competent Person - One who is capable of identifying existing andpredictable aluminum hazards in the surroundings or working condition andwho has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

HEPA filter - High Efficiency Particular Air filter - Filters that remove 99.97%of all particulate 0.3 microns or greater in diameter.

mg/m - Milligrams per cubic meter of air. Common units for reportingairborne concentration of aluminum.

NIOSH/MSHA - National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health/MineSafety and Health Administration - Federal agencies which conduct researchon safety and health issues and test and certify respirators.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 281/961

 

I3.4

PEL - OSHA requires employers of workers who are occupationally exposedto aluminum to institute engineering controls and work practices to reduceand maintain employee exposure at or below permissible exposure limits(PEL's). The employer must use engineering and work practice controls, iffeasible, to reduce exposures to or below an 8-hour time-weighted average

(TWA) of 15 mg/m for total aluminum or 5 mg/m for respirable fractions. 

REQUIREMENTS

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT

The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for airborne aluminum exposure is

fifteen (15) mg/m , as an 8-hour TWA concentration. This is the maximum 8-hour average concentration of total aluminum that an employee may beexposed to during each work day.

Whenever worker’s airborne  total aluminum exposures exceed or areexpected to exceed the PEL, the following will be implemented for the work

project:

Competent person

Employee information and training

Employee medical surveillance

 Airborne respirable aluminum exposure monitoring

Record keeping

PPE / Housekeeping

No employee will be exposed to airborne aluminum above the PEL withoutproper protection.

The following methods will be used, as feasible and effective, for maintainingairborne aluminum exposures below the PEL:

Engineering controls, such as general area ventilation forcontainments, local exhaust ventilation for spot removal, vacuum

blasting or vacuum equipped power tools. When ventilation forcontainments is used, manometers and/or velometers, will be used toevaluate the mechanical performance of the ventilation system

Warning signs

Hygiene facilities and practices

I3.5

Protective work clothing and equipment

Respiratory protection

Housekeeping

During the period that respirators are worn, the protection factor of the

specific respirator may be used to determine employees’ exposure toairborne aluminum and to achieve compliance with the PEL.

COMPETENT PERSON

 All work activities where employee airborne aluminum exposures may exceedthe PEL will include a competent person in both the planning and performingstages of projects involving aluminum exposure.

The competent person will be a person with training and experience inconducting jobs involving airborne aluminum exposure. The competent

person will have the capability of identifying hazards and the authority to takeimmediate action to eliminate them.

The competent person will be at the work site at all times while airbornealuminum exposure activities are in progress. They may have other jobduties, but must be able to monitor work continuously for hazards ordeficiencies, and the authority to take immediate corrective action.

EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND TRAINING

 All employees who work on projects where airborne aluminum exposures are

known to or expected to be at or above the PEL will be provided informationand training on the hazards of airborne aluminum and measures forcontrolling these hazards and protecting health.

Employees will receive initial comprehensive airborne aluminum trainingbefore performing work that may involve airborne lead exposure. Thistraining will be repeated annually as a refresher course.

The content of airborne aluminum training will include:

The specific nature of activities or operations that may result in

airborne aluminum exposure above the Action Level

The health effects and risks of airborne aluminum exposure

OSHA standards and guidelines for airborne aluminum exposure

Engineering controls, including containments and ventilation systems

Work practices for controlling airborne aluminum exposure, includinginformation, warning signs, housekeeping, protective clothing andproper hygiene facilities and practices

Respiratory protection for controlling airborne aluminum exposure,including fit testing

Methods for monitoring airborne aluminum concentrations andexposures

The medical surveillance program including medical removal

When conducting airborne aluminum exposure activities on a multi-employerwork site, Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries will notify other employers ofthe nature of the aluminum exposure system in effect, and the potential needto take measures to protect their employees. Notification to other employerswill contain the following: NOTICE - MORENO GROUP LLC ANDSUBSIDIARIES IS PERFORMING ACTIVITIES AT THIS JOB SITE THAT

MAY CREATE AIRBORNE ALUMINUM . ALL CONTRACTORS AT THISJOB SITE SHALL REMAIN CLEAR OF ANY ALUMINUM EXPOSUREAREA. ACCESS INTO ALUMINUM EXPOSURE AREA IS CONTROLLEDBY THE MORENO GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES JOB FOREMAN.ONLY TRAINED, QUALIFIED WORKERS ARE PERMITTED TO ENTERALUMINUM EXPOSURE AREAS AND MUST WEAR RESPIRATORS ANDPROTECTIVE CLOTHING.

MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE

 All employees who may be exposed to airborne aluminum above the PEL or

who may be required to wear a respirator will be provided initial and periodicmedical examinations.

 All employees who may be exposed to airborne aluminum above the PEL willbe provided with initial and periodic biological monitoring in the form of bloodsampling and analysis of aluminum. Employees will be tested both pre andpost-job to determine blood serum amounts of aluminum and to ensure thatlevels are below twenty-four (24) micrograms/cubic meter. 

 All employees who are temporarily removed from aluminum exposure due toelevated blood aluminum levels or at the recommendation of a physician may

be reassigned other job duties at the site that do not involve exposure toairborne aluminum above the PEL.

Chest X-rays will be performed on all employees that are required to work onaluminum projects to ensure lung capacity in performing these tasks. ChestX-rays will be performed on all employees both pre and post-job.

WARNING SIGNS

Warning signs will be posted in the work area around activities whereairborne aluminum exposures may exceed the PEL. The work area can bedemarcated by Yellow Caution tape.

Signs will be posted at every accessible side of the work area. These signs

will be easily visible from a distance so that employee can read the sign andtake necessary protective measures before entering the work area. Signs willread as follows: WARNING, ALUMINUM WORK AREA.

The competent person will control access of persons into work area.

 All persons entering work areas will wear protective clothing and respirators.

Eating, drinking, smoking, and chewing is prohibited in work areas and anyarea where airborne aluminum exposure may exceed the PEL.

CONTAINMENTS

Where required by federal, state, or local regulation, the project sponsor, orthe project owner, containments will be constructed and used as specified.

The purpose of containments is to restrict or prevent the spread of airbornealuminum or debris to surrounding areas or the environment. While theproper use of containments can help protect the public and the environment,they generally cause a significant increase in airborne aluminumconcentrations in the work area. Containments may increase the potential forhigher employee aluminum exposures. Therefore, the use of well designed

exhaust ventilation and the use of more protective respirators may benecessary to properly protect workers.

Containments may include any of the following:

Rigid or flexible barriers or sheets surrounding the work area

Complete unventilated enclosures built around the work area

Complete enclosures maintained under negative pressure by exhaustventilation with exhaust air filtration

Containments may also require the construction and use of platforms orscaffolding. These may be stationary or movable, ground supported orsuspended.

I3.9

The selection, use, maintenance, and inspection of respirators will beaccording to Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries Respiratory ProtectionProgram. Qualifications for respirator users are also contained in thisprogram. Below is the type of respirator that will be utilized when aluminumexposure is above the Permissible Exposure Limit:

3M 6000 Series ½ face respirator w/ P100 particulate filters

P95 particulate irritant facemask

In additional to respiratory protection, Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiarieswill implement both general and specific ventilation to ensure that allexposure is minimized while employees are working on aluminum structures.Ventilation will be setup as to not impact surrounding areas and in such amanner to adequately ventilate the work area to exposures below PEL, ifpossible. If ventilation fails to achieve the goal of lowering exposure to belowPEL, respiratory protection will be implemented, as well as continuousventilation.

EXPOSURE MONITORING

For each work project, personal air samples will be collected to determineairborne aluminum exposures to employees performing tasks involvingaluminum exposure. Full shift (at least 7 hours) air samples will be collectedfor each job classification in each work area. The air samples will be takenfor the shift with the highest expected exposure level. Moreno Group LLCand Subsidiaries will implement employee protective measures until resultsof the employee exposure assessment are received. The competent personwill be responsible to ensure that exposure monitoring is performed.

Where initial monitoring indicates that aluminum exposures are below thePEL, and where work activities and conditions will remain the same as at thetime of initial sampling, additional monitoring need not be repeated for thatwork project. A written record of the air monitoring data will be kept at the jobsite.

Where initial monitoring indicates that airborne aluminum exposures arebelow the PEL, additional representative exposure monitoring will beconducted at least once every six (6) months for that work project. Whereinitial monitoring indicates that aluminum exposures are above the PEL,

additional representative exposure monitoring will be conducted at least onceevery three (3) months. Representative monitoring should be conductedduring the beginning of each different phase of the project or when changesoccur to determine range or exposures for aluminum removal and clean-upactivities.

 All air samples will be collected and analyzed according to NIOSH 7082Method or equivalent. All samples will be analyzed by laboratories accredited

 All exposed employees will be notified in writing of the monitoring resultswithin five (5) days after receiving these results.

Initial exposure monitoring may not be required when previously collected

data has conclusively determined that current job condition exposure levelswill be less than the PEL.

HOUSEKEEPING

 Accumulations of aluminum-containing dust and debris generated by workactivities will be removed and cleaned daily.

 All persons doing the clean-up will be trained in performing aluminumactivities, respirator qualified, and participate in the medical surveillanceprogram. Respirators and protective clothing will be worn by all persons

doing the cleanup unless exposure monitoring proves otherwise.

Wherever feasible, HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners will be used forhousekeeping.

 All aluminum-containing dust and debris will be collected into sealedcontainers. The waste will be tested to determine whether it will be disposedas hazardous or non-hazardous waste.

RECORDKEEPING

 All records relating to training, medical examinations, blood aluminummonitoring, exposure monitoring, and project specific requirements will bemaintained by Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries, for the employees lengthof employment plus 30 years.

Exposure Assessment and Monitoring

Ini t ia l Expos ure Assessment  

Competent Moreno Group managers or supervisors will evaluate all asbestosoperations (some exceptions exist only when we are involved in Class IV work) forthe purpose of predicting whether exposure levels during the planned asbestos workcan be expected to exceed the PELs, and thus whether additional monitoring, andother precautions are required.

Our competent person will conduct all initial exposure assessments.

In known PACM or ACM work environments we will presume that our employees areexposed in excess of the TWA and excursion limit and implement the necessaryprotective measures, until we conduct exposure monitoring and determine thatworkers will not be exposed in excess of the PEL of .1 fiber per cubic centimeter ofair as an eight (8) hour time-weighted average (TWA), or make a negative exposureassessment.

The initial exposure assessment requirement can be satisfied by two methods:

 A negative exposure assessment demonstrating that the activity involving

the asbestos material is unlikely under all foreseeable conditions to result inconcentration above the PEL.

Initial exposure monitoring determined from breathing zone air samples thatare representative of the 8-hour TWA and 30-minute short-term exposures.

Monitor ing  

Third party monitoring firms will be used for personnel exposure and area monitoringthat complies with all OSHA requirements.

Employ ee Noti f icat ion

Utilizing two or more employees for a lift. It is critical that whenevermultiple employees are involved in a single lift, everyonecommunicates to each other, and the load is balanced out between theemployees.

Mechanical lifting devices (Cranes, forklifts, dollies, chain falls, come-a-longs, etc.) should be utilized for loads exceeding the RWL per

employee.

Requirements

General Information

Benzene (C6H6, CAS Registry Number 71-43-2) is a highly toxic, flammable liquidor gas that is extremely dangerous even in low concentrations. In a liquid state,Benzene is a colorless to light-yellow with an aromatic odor.

Benzene can enter the body by skin contact, inhalation, and sometimes ingestion.Short term exposures can cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract, and maycause giddiness, breathlessness, euphoria, and perhaps a headache. Long-term(chronic) exposures will cause various blood disorders ranging from anemia toleukemia, an irreversible, fatal disease. OSHA regulates benzene as a cancerhazard.

Permissible Exposure Limit

The permissible exposure limit (PEL) established by OSHA for benzene is 1 part permillion (ppm) for eight (8) hours, which is the concentration to which a normal,healthy adult can be exposed for eight hours without harm. For short term situations,OSHA allows exposures averaged to 5 ppm for any 15-minute period. The standardalso establishes an "Action Level" (AL) of 0.5 ppm over the 8-hour day, which mayrequire certain "action" - such as wearing of respirators, etc. to take place

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 313/961

 

I6.4

Precautions

 All employees must realize the hazard of benzene and acquire a thoroughknowledge of this poisonous material. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries and / orhost facility will conduct air monitoring to determine the concentrations of benzeneroutinely present or where it may be present, and for those areas that exceed theOSHA PEL, establish regulated work areas - designed to control who enters the

area and what types of protective equipment are required. Extreme care must beused when working in regulated areas or on piping or equipment, such as operatingany valve, line, bleeder, etc., which may contain benzene. Where benzene ispresent, engineering controls such as isolation, or administrative controls will beutilized first to protect the workers. In certain circumstances, however, personalprotective equipment may be required. This has been addressed in the chapter ofthis manual for PPE, and may require respirators, protective clothing, eye, face, andsplash protection, etc.

Monitoring

The presence of benzene may be determined with portable detection devices thatare available for use. These devices will primarily include direct reading instruments,such as Draeger colorimetric tubes and pump, or others that are available throughequipment rental agencies.

These detection devices are available by contacting the Facility Manager orDesignee, and / or the SH&E Department. In addition, our consultant AESI oranother third party to determine the concentration of benzene that may be presentduring certain operations may conduct air monitoring for exposure assessment.These records will be kept in accordance with OSHA regulations

Based on exposure monitoring results, Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries willdevelop and implement engineering and I or work practice plan to minimizeexposures. This plan will be developed and maintained by the Facility Manager orDesignee, Human Resources and Safety, Health and Environmental Department.The plans will be reviewed and revised as necessary and appropriate based on themost recent exposure monitoring data.

Monitoring Devices

Portable Benzene Detection Devices

These devices may be used when fixed systems are not adequate or not present.These units will be rented from Total Safety, Inc. or another vendor, and will give anaudible alarm at a pre-determined level of benzene, usually 0.5 ppm. They aremaintained and calibrated before each use by the Rental Company or the SafetySupervisor, which will use a calibration gas.

Medical Monitoring

Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries employees who are exposed at or above the Action Level of 0.5 ppm for 30 or more days per year, medical monitoring is provided

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

I6.5

free of charge. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries’ Approved Medical Facilities willbe provided a copy of the OSHA standard. These facilities will perform medicalexaminations and tests to monitor the health of Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiariesemployees during the time they have a potential for an exposure at or above the

 Action Level.

Training

The host facility will be responsible for providing site specific training to ourpersonnel. In addition to the host facility site specific training, Moreno Group LLCand Subsidiaries will also train our employees as to the hazards of benzene duringour Hazard Communication training and prior to any potential exposure to benzene.

 As part of employee training for each job, this information will be relayed to ouremployees, so they are aware of the location and hazards associated with benzene,as well as methods used to reduce or control exposures.

 At host facilities, regulated areas are established where the PEL can or may be

exceeded. A detailed copy of the OSHA regulation governing benzene can bereviewed by any employee or their designated representative in the Site Office,available from the Facility / Site Manager or designee, and / or the SH&EDepartment. This is also the source for additional exposure information and otherpertinent written plans and programs 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Respiratory Protection

The level of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be determined during theinitial job planning process and/or during the development of the task Job Safety andEnvironmental Analysis (JSEA). PPE may include but not limited to Chemical

Goggles, Face Shield, Aprons, Chemical Suits, Chemical Gloves and ChemicalBoots.

Respiratory protective equipment is to be utilized when exposed to hazardousconcentrations of benzene. Only approved respiratory protection will be used. Forexposures up to 10 ppm, half face air purifying respirators with organic vaporcartridges (black) can be used. Supplied air respiratory equipment, such as airlinerespirators with escape bottles or self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs)shall be utilized for escape or emergency conditions. Refer to the Moreno GroupLLC and Subsidiaries Respiratory Protection Program within our SH&E ManagementSystem Manual for additional information.

No one is permitted to wear a respirator unless they have been properly trained, fit-tested, and received medical clearance, and only NOISH-certified respirators can beused.

Evacuation I Escape I Emergency Procedures

Prior to entry on to the site where benzene may be present, check with the owner I

operators to determine what their specific emergency plans address and always

follow their requirements. They may assign a coordinator to assist with thesematters.

Whenever an unsafe level of benzene is detected, do not panic. The followingescape method will be followed:

1. Put on a 5 minute escape air pack (if available).

2. Evacuate cross wind then upwind of the emission to a safe area.

3. Alert others of hazard.

4. Call your supervisor from a safe area. Stand by in safe area for instructions fromyour supervisor and return to work area only when it has been determined that itis safe to return.

Equipment Opening

Maintenance

 Anytime process equipment, i.e., piping, vessels, instruments, drain lines, blinds,etc., which may contain benzene is entered or opened in any area, or if work is to beperformed where benzene may be present, those involved must wear theappropriate level of Personal Protective Equipment and Respiratory Protection whileperforming the work. All line opening or equipment opening shall be performed inaccordance of our line opening procedures.

I8.1

Cadmium Protection

Purpose

The purpose of this program is to establish and implement practices and proceduresfor protecting the health of Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries employees whomay be exposed to Cadmium on the job. This program also establishes methods forcomplying with the OSHA Construction Industry Cadmium Standard, 29 CFR1926.1127, 29 CFR 1910.1027.

Scope

The scope of this program applies to all Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries

projects and employees involved with potential Cadmium/Cadmium compound (ZincGalvanized) exposure when such work involves construction, alterations, andrepairs. The activities include, but are not limited to, wrecking, demolishing, andsalvaging structures where cadmium or cadmium-containing materials are present;cutting, brazing, grinding, or welding (Flux on welding rods can contain cadmiumcompounds), on surfaces that are painted with cadmium-containing paints (usuallyhigh-heat pipes or vessels); and transporting, storing, and disposing of cadmium orcadmium-containing materials on the site or location where construction activitiesare performed.

Cadmium coatings are sacrificial corrosion protection coatings widely used on steel

and aluminum especially when exposed to alkaline and salt water environments.They also possess a very low coefficient of friction and low electrical resistivity whichmakes them ideal for corrosion protection coatings on threaded fasteners orelectrical connectors. These are most often used in critical or safety relatedapplications in the aerospace, electrical connector, defense, mining, nuclear, andoff-shore oil and gas industries.

This program also applies to all subcontractors, working under the direct control ofMoreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries, involved with Cadmium/Cadmium Compoundprojects and activities. Subcontractors must provide all manpower, supplies,equipment, training, and medical examination and testing necessary to comply with

this program.

Responsibilities

The Facility Manager/Site Manager/Yard Foreman or Designee is responsible for:

Definitions

 Authorized Person – Any person who is authorized by the employer and required bywork duties to be present in regulated areas or any person authorized by the OSH

 Act or regulations issued under it to be in regulated areas.

Cadmium - In its elemental form, cadmium is either a blue-white metal or a grayish-white powder found in lead, copper, and zinc sulfide ores, but most cadmiumcompounds are highly colored from brown to yellow and red. Some of Cadmium’suses are: an electrode component in alkaline batteries, a stabilizer in plastics (PVC).

8-hour TWA Concentration - 8-hour Time-Weighted Average concentrations forairborne contaminants - common units for reporting daily airborne Cadmiumexposures. This is the Cadmium exposure received per day expressed as aconstant exposure for eight (8) hours at a steady state concentration.

HEPA filter - High Efficiency Particular Air filter - Filters that remove 99.97% of all

particulate 0.3 microns or greater in diameter.

g/m   - Micrograms per cubic meter of air. Common units for reporting airborneconcentration of Cadmium.

g/100g - Micrograms per 100 grams of whole blood. Common units for reporting

concentrations of Cadmium in blood samples. Also reported as g/dl (microgramsper deciliter) of whole blood.

Action Level

The Action Level means employee exposure, without regard to the use of

respirators, to an airborne concentration of Cadmium of 2.5 g/m , calculated as an8-hour TWA.

Whenever workers’ airborne Cadmium exposures exceed or are expected to exceedthe Action Level, a written compliance program containing the following will beimplemented for the work project:

 Authorized person

Employee information and training

Employee medical surveillance

 Airborne Cadmium exposure monitoring per the exposure monitoring sectionof this policy

Record keeping

The Action Level may be exceeded where Cadmium-containing compounds arepresent and the following activities are performed: cadmium refining, casting,melting, oxide production, sinter plant; crushing, milling, blending and all otherprocesses; mechanical plating, manual demolition of structures, welding, cutting,

torch burning, installation, removal, or demolition of Cadmium containing materials,Cadmium burning and Cadmium contamination/emergency cleanup operations.

Permissible Exposure Limit

The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for airborne Cadmium exposure is five (5)

g/m , as an 8-hour TWA concentration. This is the maximum 8-hour averageconcentration of Cadmium that an employee may be exposed to during each workday.

No employee will be exposed to airborne Cadmium above the PEL without proper

protection.

The following methods will be used, as feasible and effective, for maintainingairborne Cadmium exposures below the PEL:

Engineering controls, such as general area ventilation for containments, localexhaust ventilation for spot removal, vacuum blasting or vacuum equippedpower tools.

Exposure Monitoring

For each work project, personal air samples will be collected to determine airborneCadmium exposures to employees performing tasks involving Cadmium exposure.Full shift (at least 7 hours) air samples will be collected for each job classification ineach work area. The air samples will be taken for the shift with the highest expectedexposure level. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries will implement employee

protective measures until results of the employee exposure assessment arereceived. The Authorized person will be responsible to ensure that exposuremonitoring is performed.

Where initial monitoring indicates that Cadmium exposures are below the ActionLevel, and where work activities and conditions will remain the same as at the timeof initial sampling, additional monitoring need not be repeated for that work project.

 A written record of the air monitoring data will be kept at the job site.

Where initial monitoring indicates that Cadmium exposures are at or above the Action Level but at or below the PEL, additional representative exposure monitoring

will be conducted at least once every six (6) months for that work project. Whereinitial monitoring indicates that Cadmium exposures are above the PEL, MorenoGroup LLC and Subsidiaries shall include in the written notice a statement that thePEL has been exceeded and a description of the corrective action being taken bythe employer to reduce employee exposure to or below the PEL.

 Additional monitoring shall be conducted whenever there has been a change in theraw materials, equipment, personnel, work practices, or finished products that mayresult in additional employees being exposed to cadmium at or above the actionlevel or in employees already exposed to cadmium at or above the action level beingexposed above the PEL, or whenever the employer has any reason to suspect that

any other change might result in such further exposure.

 All air samples will be collected and analyzed according to NIOSH 7082 Method orequivalent. All samples will be analyzed by laboratories accredited under theLaboratory Accreditation Program of the American Industrial Hygiene Association formetals analysis.

 All exposed employees will be notified in writing of the monitoring results within five(5) days after receiving these results.

Initial exposure monitoring may not be required when previously collected data has

conclusively determined that current job condition exposure levels will be less thanthe Action Level.

Housekeeping

 Accumulations of Cadmium-containing dust and debris generated by work activitieswill be removed and cleaned daily.

 All persons doing the clean-up will be trained in performing Cadmium activities,respirator qualified, and participate in the medical surveillance program. Respirators

and protective clothing will be worn by all persons doing the cleanup unlessexposure monitoring proves otherwise.

Wherever feasible, HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners will be used for housekeeping.

 All Cadmium-containing dust and debris will be collected into sealed containers.The waste will be tested to determine whether it will be disposed as hazardous or

non-hazardous waste. Containers will be labeled as follows: DANGER CONTAINSCADMIUM, CANCER HAZARD, AVOID CREATING DUST, CAN CAUSE LUNG

 AND KIDNEY DAMAGE

Employees will not be permitted to remove Cadmium-containing dust from protectiveclothing or equipment by blowing, shaking, or by any other means which dispersesCadmium in the air.

Project Specific Requirements

The specific worker Cadmium protection requirements for each Cadmium-removal

project will be determined by Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries, the projectsponsor, and the project owner. The job specific requirements will be placed in

 Attachment 2 - Cadmium Removal Project Specific Requirements. Enough detailwill be provided as to accurately outline the job specific requirements. Thisattachment will be posted at the job site and maintained with the work records of theproject.

Recordkeeping

 All records relating to training, medical examinations, blood Cadmium monitoring,exposure monitoring, and project specific requirements will be maintained by

Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries, for the employees length of employment plus30 years.

I9.6

has reliable and objective evidence indicating there may be a fitness-relatedproblem with an employee that poses a substantial risk of injury to theemployee, co-workers or assets.

 ADA generally allows non-disability-related questions, e.g.:

-  Can you perform these job functions?-

  How are you feeling?-  Have you recently consumed alcohol? etc.

It also allows us to ask employees to perform tests that are not considered to bemedical evaluations, such as a drug tests and physical agility test when job relatedand consistent with business necessity.

The audiometric test will be compared to the baseline test to determine if a StandardThreshold Shift (STS) has occurred.

 A certified audiologist or technician will perform these tests.

 All participating employees will receive written individual test results from the testing

company.

Employees are to be advised to avoid high noise levels, occupational and non-occupational, for fourteen (14) hours prior to taking an audiogram.

Baseline Audiogram

Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries shall offer a baseline audiogram within six (6)months of employment, or during a pre-placement physical.

Audiogram Evaluation

The testing facility will evaluate all audiogram to determine if an STS has occurred.The STS is defined as a change in hearing threshold relative to the baselineaudiogram of an average of 10 dB or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz in either ear.

Occupational age-adjusted noise-induced threshold shifts greater than or equal to anaverage of 25 dB at 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz in either ear shall be recorded as anoccupational illness on the OSHA 300 log. A follow-up audiogram will be performedto confirm this result.

Employees included in the Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries Hearing

Conservation Program who experience an STS will be notified in writing.

 A follow-up audiogram within thirty (30) days of the original audiogram.

I12.4.a.1

Who Turned Up the Temperature!

Heat Stress Disorders are serious. Workers who have ignored the symptoms havelost their lives. Humans have an ingenious system for regulating body temperature-a personal, natural air conditioner. We sweat, it evaporates through our skin, and

we’re cooled off. But this personal air conditioner can fail, and often does if weoverexert when environmental temperatures are high. To help you recognize HeatStress Disorders, the following are the symptoms.

Symptoms of Heat Stress Disorders:

Heat Cramps- Symptoms are painful spasms of the muscles. Heat cramps arecaused when workers consume large quantities of water but fail to take enough saltto replace the salt their body lost through sweating. Tired muscles are mostsusceptible to cramping.

Heat Exhaustion-  Symptoms are moist, clammy, pale skin; profuse sweating,extreme weakness or fatigue, dry mouth dizziness fast pulse, rapid breathing, musclecramps and nausea.

Heat / Sun Stroke- Symptoms are a very high body temperature (104 degrees F orhigher), lack of sweat, mental confusion, deep breathing and rapid pulse, hot, dry,red or mottled skin, and dilated pupils. Seek medical help at once for this condition.

Tips for Heat Stress Prevention:

Acclimatization: Adjust yourself to the heat through short exposure periods followedby longer exposures until your body is accustomed to the heat. It may take 5-7 daysof hot weather exposure before the body undergoes changes that make heat morebearable. This is especially important for new employees or offshore employees whohave been off of work who may not be acclimated to the heat. It will be important toclosely monitor these employees for the first week until they become acclimated tothe heat.

Drink lots of Water - Replenish the fluid that your body is losing though sweating.Not only water, but also critical electrolyte such as sodium, potassium and calciumare lost through sweating, so consider using electrolyte drinks to combat heat relateddisorders.

Education- Know the signs and symptoms of heat stress disorders and act quickly.

Use Your Head- Do not ignore possible symptoms of heat stress disorders. If youfeel very hot, dizzy, nauseous or if your muscles cramp, stop and cool off!!

Be Cool . Know what you have to do to Beat the Heat!

AM I HYDRATED?

Facts Related to DehydrationOur body is 60% water.Our brain is 85% water andhas a narrow tolerance ofdehydration to stay at it'speak.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 420/961

 

I12.5.a.3 

We lose about 8-10 cups (64-80 oz) of water per day (WITHOUT exercise) throughbreathing, perspiration and normal bodily functions.75% of people are dehydrated.As little as 2% loss in water content begins to cause the brain to lose alertness and the bodyto feel fatigue. In 37% of us, the thirst mechanism is so weak it is often mistaken for hunger.The number one trigger of day time fatigue and poor performance is not lack of sleep or

stress but dehydration. 

Formula

Body Weight + 12 = Daily Requirement (ounces)2

Example150 lb person = (150/2)+12 = 75+12 = 87 oz.

THE URINE COLOR CHART

This urine color chart is a simple tool your can use to assess ifyou are drinking enough fluids throughout day to stayhydrated.If your urine matches the colors numbered 1, 2, or 3 you arehydrated.

If your urine matches the colors numbered 4 through 8 youare dehydrated and need to drink for more fluid.

Be Aware! If you are taking single vitamin supplements or amultivitamin supplement, some of the vitamins in the

supplements can change the color of your urine for a fewhours, making it bright yellow or discolored.

Electrolyte Supplements

Electrolyte supplements in addition to water will be providedto employees when deemed necessary by Dynamic IndustriesInc.’s Facility Management and Safety, Health and

Environmental Department during extreme heat conditions.

During extreme heat conditions, employees will be provided two (2) individual packets of

Sqwincher® or equivalent electrolyte replacement supplements to be consumed at morning andafternoon break. This will be distributed to each employee by their respective foremen eachmorning at the SH&E Meeting. When utilizing electrolyte supplements, ensure water is stillconsumed in adequate quantities.

REQUIREMENTS

RECOGNITION OF HAZARDS

IDENTIFICATION OF CR(VI) AND WORKPLACE HAZARDS OF EXPOSURE

Cr(VI) is a natural metal used in a wide variety of industrial activities, including themanufacturing of stainless steel, welding, painting and pigment application,electroplating, surface coating processes, wood preservation, and abrasive blastingmaterials (Table 1). OSHA specifically cites those involved with welding and cuttingstainless steels as the group with the highest risk.

Table 1Cr(VI) in Industry Products

USES TYPES OF HEXAVALENTCHROMIUM CHEMICALS

Pigments for paints, inks,and plastics

Lead chromate (chrome yellow, chromegreen, molybdenum orange), zincchromate, barium chromate, calciumchromate, potassium dichromate, sodiumchromate

Anti-corrosion products(chrome plating, spraycoatings, additives)

Chromic trioxide (chromic acid), zincchromate, barium chromate, strontiumchromate

Stainless steelCr(VI) is given off when stainless steel iscast, welded, or torch cut

Wood preservation Chromium trioxide

It is important to note that welding filler metals typically have material properties thatclosely mirror the base metal compositions. It has been established that the higherthe chromium level in the supplied materials, the more Cr(VI) will be generated inwelding fumes. Studies performed by the Navy Research Center determined thatapproximately 90 percent of the fumes generated during welding come from the fillermetal, and the other 10 percent comes from the base metal.

Stainless steel electrodes and filler wires contain metallic chromium and chromium

alloys. Stainless steel filler metals contain little or no chromium oxide, but the highheat from the welding arc causes the metallic chromium to oxidize and transmits itinto the air as a fume. The high-heat oxidation process caused by the arc producesCr(VI) as a byproduct in the fume, which becomes airborne part of the weldingenvironment.

The type of welding or cutting also influences the generation of metal fumes andtherefore the concentration of Cr(VI). The highest fume exposures--from highest tolowest--are from arc gouging and plasma arc cutting, then shielded metal arc

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 426/961

 

I13.5 

welding (stick welding), then gas metal arc (MIG)/gas tungsten arc (TIG) welding.However, when considering Cr(VI) fume levels apart from other metal fumes, thelowest Cr(VI) exposures are often seen in welding processes that use a flux insteadof a shielding gas.

The next most significant source of Cr(VI) exposure within Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries operations is the generation of dust, fumes or mist from the following

operations:

 Abrasive blasting involving grit contaminated with Cr(VI);

 Abrasive blasting on base material coated with any chromate or dichromatepaint;

Grinding, drilling, or other similar aggressive activity on any chromate ordichromate paint;

Welding or torch cutting on any chromate or dichromate paint;

Painting activities that use chromate or dichromate paint; and

Mist or dust generated from using chromium-containing chemicals (e.g.corrosion inhibitors).

HEALTH EFFECTS

The primary routes of exposure to Cr(VI) are inhalation and skin contact. Cr(VI) is acarcinogen and is known to cause lung cancer. It is also suspected of causingleukemia and Hodgkin’s Disease. Other acute and chronic health effects cited by

OSHA that are associated with Cr(VI) include:

Reproductive disorders;

Stomach, kidney, and bladder diseases;

 Asthma;

Nasal septum ulcerations and perforations;

Skin ulceration (chrome holes); and

 Allergic and irritant contact dermatitis.

Cr(VI) will irritate the nose, throat, and lungs and repeated or prolonged exposurecan damage the mucous membranes of the nasal passages and result in ulcers. Insevere cases, exposure causes perforation of the nasal septum (the wall separatingthe nasal passages).

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 427/961

I13.6

Prolonged skin contact with Cr(VI) can result in dermatitis and skin ulcers. Someindividuals may develop an allergic sensitization to chromium and direct eye contactwith chromic acid or chromate dusts can cause permanent eye damage.

CONTROLLING EXPOSURES AND MANAGING RISKS

EXPOSURE LIMITS

The OSHA standard regulates the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for Cr(VI) to 5micrograms per cubic meter (μg/ m3) of air as an 8-hour time-weighted average(TWA). Respiratory protection, safe work practices, and engineering controls arerequired above 5 μg/ m

3 TWA and above.

When feasible, use engineering and work practice controls to reduce and maintainworkforce exposure to chromium (VI) at or below the 5 μg/ m

3. Wherever feasible

engineering and work practice controls are not sufficient to reduce workforceexposure to or below the PEL, reduce workforce exposure to the lowest levelsachievable, and supplement them using respiratory protection.

The OSHA standard also sets an action level (AL) of 2.5 μg/ m3

 as an 8-hour TWAexposure. This AL mandates medical assessments if an employee is exposed for 30days or more in a year (regardless of location). This level also triggers the need tomaintain medical assessment records, provide training, and conduct additionalexposure assessments.

DETECTING AND MEASURING CR(VI) IN THE WORKPLACE

OSHA requires that ‘each employer determine the 8-hour TWA exposure for eachemployee exposed to Cr(VI) within their workplace or work operation’ . MorenoGroup LLC and Subsidiaries will utilize air monitoring to determine the TWA

exposure on Cr(VI) projects.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Each operating facility must conduct an assessment to ascertain if any chromium-containing products or materials are being utilized. In addition, facilities shouldconduct such an assessment for each maintenance project at the planning stage.Initial assessments may include a review of Material Safety Data Sheets,engineering specifications, product labels and manufacturer’s product informationsheets. If chromium-containing materials are determined to exist (e.g. stainlesssteel, chrome steel, carbon steel, chromium containing paints or corrosion inhibitors)

or be periodically used (e.g. chromium containing welding rods or paints) in theworkplace, then additional information shall be gathered to identify:

The types and amounts of materials;

How many people are involved; and

The specific work activities involving chromium.

I13.7 

QUANTIFIED SAMPLING 

 A comprehensive sampling and data collection program is needed to quantify therisk of Cr(VI) exposure to personnel. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries shallperform initial monitoring to determine the 8-hour TWA exposure for each employeeon the basis of a sufficient number of personal breathing zone air samples toaccurately characterize full shift exposure on each shift, for each job classification, in

each work area. Representative sampling may be conducted instead of sampling allemployees in order to meet this requirement, as long as the employees sampled arethose expected to have the highest Cr(VI) exposures.

 All sampling must be conducted according the analytical specifications of the OSHAstandard (OSHA standard ID 215) and be tested by a laboratory with accreditationfrom the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), the National VoluntaryLaboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), and the National Institute of Standardsand Technology (NIST).

Personal exposure monitoring will be conducted by an industrial hygienist or a

specifically trained technician (e.g. occupational health technician) under thedirection of an industrial hygienist using integrated sampling methods. Monitoringwill be conducted as an initial assessment for all tasks identified as having apotential for Cr(VI) exposure, periodically in accordance with the OSHA standardwhen levels are determined to exist above the action level or whenworkers/management express any reasonable exposure concern.

 An industrial hygienist will report laboratory analytical results to the supervisors,SH&E coordinators and workers involved in the monitored task.

If initial monitoring indicates that employee exposures are below the action

level, monitoring may be discontinued for those employees whose exposuresare represented by such monitoring.

If monitoring reveals employee exposures to be at or above the action level,periodic monitoring must be performed for those employees at least every sixmonths.

If monitoring reveals employee exposures to be above the PEL, periodicmonitoring must be performed for those employees at least every threemonths.

If periodic monitoring indicates that employee exposures are below the actionlevel, and the result is confirmed by the result of another monitoring taken atleast seven days later, monitoring for those employees whose exposures arerepresented by such monitoring may be discontinued.

 Additional monitoring must be performed when there has been any change inthe production process, raw materials, equipment, personnel, work practices,or control methods that may result in new or additional exposures to Cr(VI), orwhen there is any reason to believe that new or additional exposures haveoccurred.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 429/961

I13.8

 As direct reading instruments cannot be used to determine Cr(VI) concentrations inworkers’ breathing zones, protective measures, such as the use of ventilationequipment and respiratory protection, shall be utilized until quantified exposuremonitoring has been completed that determines the exposure risk associated withthe tasks and the results have been received from a certified analytical laboratoryand review by an industrial hygienist.

CONTROLLING CR(VI) EXPOSURES

Each Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries facility/site is responsible forimplementing control measures appropriate to the Cr(VI) exposure levels determinedto exist during the risk assessment and quantified exposure evaluations. In order tocontrol Cr(VI) exposure hazards, standard industrial hygiene controls must beemployed that consist of engineering controls, administrative controls, and personalprotective equipment. Engineering controls are preferred because the hazard isreduced or eliminated. If engineering controls are not effective enough to reduceexposure to below the PEL, the next choice is administrative controls, then finallypersonal protective equipment.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

The target for engineering control is to reduce Cr(VI) exposure below 0.5 µg/m3,

which is an automatic exemption level to the OSHA Cr(VI) standard, or alternatively,2.5 μg/ m3, which is the action level set by the standard. When feasible, useengineering and work practice controls to reduce and maintain workforce exposureto chromium (VI) at or below the 5 μg/ m3. Wherever feasible engineering and workpractice controls are not sufficient to reduce workforce exposure to or below thePEL, reduce workforce exposure to the lowest levels achievable, and supplementthem using respiratory protection. Engineering and work practice controls are notrequired to be implemented if the 5 ug/ m3 PEL is not exceeded 30 or more days per

year. Job rotation of employees is not allowed to reduce employee exposures or tocomply with requirements of the standard. Engineering controls should beimplemented based on:

Chromium composition in materials;

Type of operations performed; and

Technology available.

It is likely specific controls may be unique to specific tasks and facilities because of

the differing exposure sources and exposure potentials.

Substitution: Substitution of chromium-containing materials with non-chromiummaterials, or substitution with a material containing less chromium, is the bestpossible engineering control.

Ventilation:  Ventilation can be used to remove harmful fumes and gases. Thethree types of ventilation are natural, General Dilution and Local Exhaust. GeneralDilution lowers the concentration in the general area of the operator while LocalExhaust removes the fumes and gases at their source. Local Exhaust is the most

I13.9 

effective method but may not be the most practical, particularly based upon locationof the task being performed or for blasting/painting operations. Local Exhaust canbe provided by a partial enclosure of the source such as a ventilated work bench, orby smoke suckers positioned as close to the point of welding as possible. Hoods andductwork should be constructed of fire-resistant materials.

Some examples of local exhaust ventilation are portable smoke eaters and fume

extraction welding guns. Local exhaust is best when you have:

Limited mobility;

Limited openings;

Interior obstructions;

Few sources (e.g. welders); and

More toxic alloys.

Some examples of dilution ventilation are centrifugal fans, axial fans andventuri eductors. Dilution ventilation is best when you have:

Mobile work;

Multiple openings;

Few obstructions;

Many sources; and

Less toxic alloys.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS

Facilities/sites must establish a regulated area wherever an employee's exposure toairborne concentrations of Cr(VI) is, or can reasonably be expected to be, in excessof the PEL. Regulated areas must:

Be demarcated from the rest of the workplace in a manner that adequatelyestablishes and alerts employees of the boundaries of the regulated area;and

Limit access to regulated areas to personnel authorized and required by workduties to be present in the regulated area.

 Administrative controls include written instructions (e.g. written contractspecifications, JSEAs) and also include posted regulated areas and safe workpractices. If possible, always use work techniques that generate the least amount ofwelding fume or other airborne chromium-containing materials.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 431/961

I13.10

Examples of administrative controls are:

Not welding on painted or coated parts and removing all surface coatingsbefore welding;

Using the less fume producing process when practical;

Using cold-cutting techniques instead of torch cutting;

Using the minimum amperage necessary to perform the work correctly;

HEPA vacuuming personnel and areas contaminated with dusts and particlesin order to remove external contamination so that it does not get takenoutside of the work area;

Washing face and hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or applyingcosmetics; and

Prohibiting the consumption of food or beverages, chewing of gum/tobacco orapplication of cosmetics within regulated areas.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal protective equipment, including respirators, should always be used alongwith, rather than instead of, engineering controls and safe work practices.

Respiratory Protection:  Whenever respirators are used to protect against Cr(VI),a written respiratory protection program that complies with OSHA requirementsfound in 29 CFR 1910.134 and a site-specific respirator program must beimplemented. Following standard protection factor application, respirators shall beworn for protection against Cr(VI) as follows:

Half facepiece air-purifying respirator with P-100 (HEPA) cartridges forexposures up to 50 µg/m3;

Loose fitting facepiece powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with P-100cartridges for exposures up to 125 µg/m3;

Full facepiece air-purifying respirator with P-100 cartridges for exposures upto 250 µg/m3;

Full facepiece powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with P-100 cartridgesfor exposures up to 500 µg/m3; and

Supplied-air respirator for exposure above 500 µg/m3.

Skin and Eye Protection:  Protective clothing/equipment is required if a potentialskin or eye hazard exists from direct contact with Cr(VI) compounds. Examples ofsuch tasks include:

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 432/961

 

I13.11 

Spray painting or large blasting operations involving chromium containingpaints;

Welding operations utilizing methods of high fume production on stainlesssteel, or other high Cr(VI) producing products, with known levels above thePEL in confined spaces or within a large operation; or

Handling Cr(VI) containing products, such as corrosion inhibitors (splash orspill risk).

The Industrial Hygiene coordinator should be consulted for professional supportwhen the skin or eye exposure hazard is not known.

If reusable protective clothing   is required, then clean and dirty change rooms mustbe provided that are equipped with separate storage facilities for both protectiveclothing/equipment and street clothes, and that prevent cross-contamination. Whereskin contact with Cr(VI) occurs, washing facilities in conformance with 29 CFR

1910.141 shall be provided.

 All protective clothing and equipment contaminated with Cr(VI) must beremoved at the end of the work shift or at the completion of tasks involvingCr(VI) exposure, whichever comes first, and no employee shall removeCr(VI)-contaminated protective clothing or equipment from the workplaceexcept for those employees whose job it is to launder, clean, maintain, ordispose of such clothing or equipment.

When contaminated protective clothing or equipment is removed forlaundering, cleaning, maintenance, or disposal it shall be stored and

transported in sealed, impermeable bags or other closed, impermeablecontainers.

Protective clothing must not be worn inside break areas or lunchrooms/galleys.

Bags or containers of contaminated protective clothing or equipment that areremoved from change rooms for laundering, cleaning, maintenance, ordisposal must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of the HazardCommunication regulatory and procedural requirements.

The removal of Cr(VI) from protective clothing and equipment by blowing,shaking, or any other means that disperses Cr(VI) into the air or onto anemployee's body is prohibited.

MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE

Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries must make medical surveillance available at nocost to the employee, and at a reasonable time and place, for all employees:

I13.15 

HEALTH EFFECTS

The primary routes of exposure to hexavalent chromium are inhalation and skincontact. Hexavalent chromium is a carcinogen and is know to cause lung cancer. Itis also suspected of causing leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease. Other acute andchronic health effects cited by OSHA that are associated with hexavalent chromiuminclude:

Reproductive disorders

Stomach, kidney and bladder diseases

 Asthma

Nasal septum ulcerations and perforations

Skin ulceration (chrome holes) and

 Allergic and irritant dermatitis

Hexavalent chromium will irritate the nose, throat and lungs and repeated orprolonged exposure can damage the mucous membranes of the nasal passagesand result in ulcers. In severe cases, exposure causes perforation of the nasalseptum (the wall separating the nasal passages).

Prolonged skin contact with hexavalent chromium can result in dermatitis and skinulcers. Some individuals may develop an allergic sensitization to chromium anddirect eye contact with chromic acid or chromate dusts can cause permanent eyedamage.

COMPETENT PERSON

 All work activities where employee airborne chromium exposures may exceed thePEL will include a competent person in both the planning and performing stages ofprojects involving chromium exposure.

The competent person will be a person with training and experience in conduction jobs involving airborne chromium exposure. The competent person will have thecapability of identifying hazards and the authority to take immediate action toeliminate them.

The competent person will be at the work site at all times while airborne chromiumexposure activities are in progress. They may have other job duties, but must beable to monitor work continuously for hazards or deficiencies, and the authority totake immediate corrective action.

EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND TRAINING

 All employees who work on projects where airborne chromium and exposures areknown to or expected to be at or above the PEL will be provided information and

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 437/961

I13.16

training on the hazards of airborne chromium and measures for controlling thesehazards and protecting health.

Employees will receive initial comprehensive airborne chromium training beforeperforming work that may involve airborne chromium exposure. This training will berepeated annually as a refresher course.

The content of airborne chromium training will include:

The specific nature of activities or operations that may result in airbornechromium exposure above the Action Level

The health effects and risks of airborne chromium exposure

OSHA standards and guidelines for airborne chromium exposure

Engineering controls, including containments and ventilation systems

Work practices for controlling airborne chromium and exposure, including

information, warning signs, housekeeping, protective clothing and properhygiene facilities and practices

Respiratory protection for controlling airborne chromium exposure, includingfit testing

Methods for monitoring airborne chromium concentrations and exposures

The medical surveillance program including medical removal

When conducting airborne chromium exposure activities on a multi-employer worksite, Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries will notify other employers of the nature ofthe chromium exposure system in effect, and the potential need to take measures toprotect their employees. Notification to other employers will contain the following:

NOTICE - MORENO GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES IS PERFORMINGACTIVITIES AT THIS JOB SITE THAT MAY CREATE AIRBORNE CHROMIUMEXPOSURE. ALL CONTRACTORS AT THIS JOB SITE SHALL REMAIN CLEAROF ANY CHROMIUM EXPOSURE AREA. ACCESS INTO CHROMIUMEXPOSURE AREA IS CONTROLLED BY THE MORENO GROUP LLC ANDSUBSIDIARIES JOB FOREMAN. ONLY TRAINED, QUALIFIED WORKERS AREPERMITTED TO ENTER CHROMIUM EXPOSURE AREAS AND MUST WEAR

RESPIRATORS AND/OR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.

WELDING OPERATIONS

Welders at Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries are exposed to hexavalentchromium-CR(VI) through the following means:

Stainless steels or other chromium-containing alloys represent the source ofhexavalent chromium in welding operations.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 438/961

 

I13.17 

Most welding operations join metals by heating the base and/or filler metal totemperatures at or above the melting point and vaporization temperature ofthe weld joint material.

 A portion of the metal vapor, including chromium vapor originating from thebase metal, consumable electrode, surface coating, or surface contaminants

instantaneously reacts with atmospheric oxygen and condenses into solidparticles (known as fume) to form metal oxides, such as iron oxide, andchromium oxides.

o  Metallic chromium when vaporized may react with oxygen to form bothtrivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium oxide-containing fume.

Hotwork done on galvanized material, such as cutting on grating or handrailsthat have been coated with galvanize.

WARNING SIGNS

Warning signs will be posted in the work area around activities where airbornechromium exposures may exceed the PEL. The work area can be demarcated byropes, tape, walls, or containments.

Signs will be posted at every accessible side of the work area. These signs will beeasily visible from a distance so that employee can read the sign and takenecessary protective measures before entering the work area. Signs will read asfollows: WARNING, CHROMIUM WORK AREA.

The competent person will control access of persons into work area.

 All persons entering work areas will wear protective clothing and respirators.

Eating, drinking, smoking, and chewing are prohibited in work areas and any areawhere airborne chromium exposure may exceed the PEL.

CONTAINMENTS

Where required by federal, state, or local regulation, the project sponsor, or theproject owner, containments will be constructed and used as specified.

The purpose of containments is to restrict or prevent the spread of airbornechromium or debris to surrounding areas or the environment. While the proper useof containments can help protect the public and the environment, they generallycause a significant increase in airborne chromium concentrations in the work area.Containments may increase the potential for higher employee chromium exposures.Therefore, the use of well designed exhaust ventilation and the use of moreprotective respirators may be necessary to properly protect workers.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 439/961

I13.18

Containments may include any of the following:

Rigid or flexible barriers or sheets surrounding the work area

Complete unventilated enclosures built around the work area

Complete enclosures maintained under negative pressure by exhaustventilation with exhaust air filtration

Containments may also require the construction and use of platforms or scaffolding.These may be stationary or movable, ground supported or suspended.

PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES

 All employees whose airborne chromium exposures may exceed the PermissibleExposure Limit will, at a minimum wash, their hands and face before breaks, atlunch and at the end of each work shift.

 An adequate number of clean lavatory and hand washing facilities will be provided.

These will comply with the OSHA Standard, 29 CFR 1926.51, Sanitation.

EXPOSURE MONITORING

For work projects when exposure is at or above PEL, personal air samples will becollected to determine airborne chromium exposures to employees performing tasksinvolving chromium exposure. Full shift (at least 7 hours) air samples will becollected for each job classification in each work area. The air samples will be takenfor the shift with the highest expected exposure level. Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries will implement employee protective measures until results of theemployee exposure assessment are received. The competent person will be

responsible to ensure that exposure monitoring is performed.

Where initial monitoring indicates that chromium exposures are below the PEL, andwhere work activities and conditions will remain the same as at the time of initialsampling, additional monitoring need not be repeated for that work project.Historical data on past exposure monitoring shall be used and a written record of theair monitoring data will be kept at the job site.

Where initial monitoring indicates that airborne chromium exposures are below thePEL, additional representative exposure monitoring will be conducted at least onceevery six (6) months for that work project. Where initial monitoring indicates that

chromium exposures are above the PEL, additional representative exposuremonitoring will be conducted at least once every three (3) months. Representativemonitoring should be conducted during the beginning of each different phase of theproject or when changes occur to determine range or exposures for chromiumremoval and clean-up activities.

 All air samples will be collected and analyzed according to NIOSH 7082 Method orequivalent. All samples will be analyzed by laboratories accredited under theLaboratory Accreditation Program of the American Industrial Hygiene Association formetals analysis.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 440/961

 

I13.19 

 All exposed employees will be notified in writing of the monitoring results within five(5) days after receiving these results.

Initial exposure monitoring may not be required when previously collected data hasconclusively determined that current job condition exposure levels will be less thanthe PEL.

HOUSEKEEPING

 Accumulations of chromium and chromium-containing dust and debris generated bywork activities will be removed and cleaned daily.

 All persons doing the clean-up will be trained in performing chromium activities,respirator qualified, and participate in the medical surveillance program. Respiratorsand protective clothing will be worn by all persons doing the cleanup unlessexposure monitoring proves otherwise.

Wherever feasible, HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners will be used for housekeeping.

 All chromium and chromium-containing dust and debris will be collected into sealedcontainers. The waste will be tested to determine whether it will be disposed ashazardous or non-hazardous waste.

RECORDKEEPING

 All records relating to training, medical examinations, blood chromium monitoring,exposure monitoring, and project specific requirements will be maintained byMoreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries, for the employees length of employment plus

30 years.

OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION

The compliance program will be kept available at the work site for examination by anaffected employee or authorized person/agency.

The compliance program will be revised and updated at least annually.

Hydrogen Sulfide  – H2SPage: 1 of 8Original: 10/01/06Revised:

I14.1

Hydrogen Sulfide – H2S

Purpose

The purpose of this program is to establish and implement practices and proceduresfor protecting the health of Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries employees whomay be exposed to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an extremelytoxic gas responsible for numerous deaths in the oil industry. Many of these deathsare caused by a lack of awareness, improper or shortcutting procedures, lack ofrespiratory protection, and/or poor rescue techniques.

Scope

The scope of this program applies to all Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiariesprojects and employees involved with projects which may contain H2S. H2S can befound in drilling operations, recycled drilling mud, water from sour crude wells,blowouts, tank gauging, tanks at the producing, pipeline and refining operations, fieldmaintenance activities, tank batteries and wells.

Responsibilities

The Facility Manager/Offshore Manager/Yard Foreman or Designee  is

responsible for:

Understanding and complying with this policy/ procedure.

Informing the SH&E Department of any upcoming project at an H2S facility.

Designating employees for the project and ensuring that those employees allgo the Human Resources Department to get an authorization to go theapproved Medical Facility and receive Respiratory Protection evaluation andpulmonary function testing.

Coordinate with the SH&E Department to see if all designated employeeshave received proper H2S training and or up to date. If training is neededcoordinate with the Safety Department date and time for which training willtake place.

The First Line Supervisor / Offshore Superintendent is responsible for  

Understanding and complying with this policy/ procedure.

I14.2

Ensuring proper respiratory protection is readily available and location ofemergency respiratory equipment.

Ensure client locations site specific plan meets or exceeds this plan.

The Safety, Health and Environmental Department is responsible for

Coordinating H2S training and respiratory training and fit testing.

Identifying respiratory protection equipment which will be utilized on theproject.

The Human Resources Department is responsible for

 Authorizing all employees to go to the Medical Facility and receive properevaluation.

Maintaining all medical records for all employees that will work on the project.

The Employee is responsible for

Understanding and complying with this policy/procedure.

Reporting any incident to his immediate supervisor.

H2S Toxiity

H2S is an acute toxin; that is, it’s only known toxic properties are caused by short-term exposures to the gas. There are no known health effects associated with long-

term exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas, particularly at concentrations at or below thepoint where short-term symptoms (for example, eye or respiratory irritation) areobserved.

The acute toxicity of H2S can not be overemphasized. H2S paralyses the nervecenter responsible for breathing. One breath of a high concentration (> 1000 ppm)can result in immediate unconsciousness and death by suffocation.

H2S does not last long nor accumulate in the body. Therefore, if the victim ispromptly removed from exposure, there is a good chance that he/she can besuccessfully resuscitated. Any aftereffects would be dependent on the amount of

time the person was without oxygen, not on the amount of H2S inhaled.

Written Hydrogen Sulfide Policy

Each facility/location with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) should have a written H2S programor procedures governing activities that may expose personnel to H2S. MorenoGroup LLC and Subsidiaries will follow the facilities Hydrogen Sulfide Policy unlessthis policy is most stringent. This program should meet or exceed the provisionsoutlined in the sections of this standard.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 444/961

 

I14.3

Training Requirements and Hazard Communication

 All personnel who may be required to work in a known or suspected H2Senvironment should receive initial training and bi-annual refresher training in thefollowing areas:

hazards and characteristics of H2S gases;

toxicity and properties of H2S;

the proper use of H2S detection devices, including personal detectiondevices;

H2S alarms, employee response to alarms, and contingency plans;

use and limitations of respiratory protective equipment for H2S and SO2 (sulfur dioxide);

symptoms of exposure, first-aid and emergency medical procedures;

emergency rescue, stand-by and "buddy system" requirements;

site-specific H2S procedures, contingency plans, rules, labeling and posting.

 All such training should be documented with attendance and course outline.

 All sub-contractor personnel should be advised of the presence of H2S, thefacility's/location's H2S program, rules and procedures, and other specialprecautions.

Contractors should document and provide suitable verification of such training fortheir employees upon request.

Respiratory Protection Equipment

For the purpose of this standard, the term "respiratory protective equipment" (RPE)shall imply only positive pressure NIOSH approved self-contained breathingapparatus (SCBA) or positive pressure airline units with an emergency egress bottle;no other types of respiratory protective equipment shall be used in H 2Senvironments, except:

NlOSH/MSHA-approved compressed air escape units may be used forescape from an emergency release of H2S.

NOTE: Air-purifying respirators, including canister units, shall not be used forH2S, even for escape (because of the poor warning properties of H2S, i.e.,olfactory fatigue).

The Standard for “Respiratory Protection and Medical Surveillance” shall be followedfor RPE and personnel required to wear such equipment.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 445/961

 

I14.4

Instrumentation and Atmospheric Testing

The odor of H2S shall not be used as an indicator of the presence or absenceof H2S under any circumstances.

The detection of the typical "rotten egg" odor indicates the presence of H2S, but the

odor threshold is very low (<0.02 ppm); and

 Above 30 ppm and well below lethal concentrations, H2S produces olfactory fatigue(lack of smell). At high concentrations (> 200 ppm), olfactory fatigue occurs almostinstantaneously. Therefore, the lack of odor is not indicative of the absence ofH2S.

Real-time measurement of H2S concentration in the breathing zone or tank/vesselvapor space can be made with the following types of instruments.

Fixed detector, portable/gas test meter), and personal electronic

instrumentation:

Direct-read" digital meter for determining actual concentration with alarm setpoints; or

"Alarm only" type (no indication of concentration). This type should only beused for personnel warning and should not be used as a screening devicebecause there is no indication of concentration.

Both fixed and personal H2S detection instruments should have a distinctiveaudible and visual alarm signal consistent throughout the facility/location

Color-metric indicating tubes  –  These are generally less susceptible tointerferences (such as from other sulfur compounds and hydrocarbons) andcan read higher ranges than most electronic instrumentation. If electronicinstrumentation indicates the presence of H2S where none is suspect, color-metric tubes can be used as a confirmatory source. See the Standard “ToxicGas Testing” for additional information on this equipment. 

Lead-acetate paper  (commonly a “go/no-go” type of indicator): generally hasbeen replaced by other instrumentation. Not recommended, particularly forpersonal monitoring.

Calibration - All instrumentation should be calibrated according to the manufacturer'sinstructions at least monthly, at the time of servicing or repair, and at the timeof battery replacement. See the Standard, “Calibration of Portable ToxicGas/Oxygen Meters.” A calibration log and maintenance record should bemaintained.

Recommended alarm points for H2S instrumentation are 10 ppm for the low alarmpoint and 20 ppm for the high alarm.*

I14.5

Employee(s) must be instructed to evacuate the area immediately, even if the lowalarm is the only one to sound.

 Ambient H2S levels should be made in the employee's breathing zone; except that

For tank gauging/sampling purposes, the H2S concentration should be measured atthe level of the thief or gauging hatch, not the breathing zone of the employee. (see

“9.c”) 

Safe Work Practices

Written H2S procedures should identify jobs and work conditions where H2S may beof concern and describe appropriate work practices. These procedures shouldinclude at least the following as applicable.

Respiratory protection:

Shall be worn until the concentration of H2S has been established.

Shall be worn for any known or expected environment that equals/exceeds 10ppm in the employee's breathing zone.

Buddy system and requirements of the standby person:

 A standby with respiratory protection is required whenever the H2Sconcentration in the breathing zone could exceed 300 ppm (See “9.c”regarding open hatch tank gauging).

Trained in CPR/First-Aid and appropriate rescue techniques or how to initiate

a rescue response.

Trained on and proficient in the use of SCBA.

Have a two-way radio to request back up assistance if an emergencydevelops.

Standby shall be located upwind with a clear view of his/her "buddy."

Ground level is preferable; if the standby must climb to keep his/her "buddy"in view; the standby should don the SCBA, except the facepiece. If the

standby must actually use the RPE because of potential exposure anotherstandby located in a "safe" area would be required.

Requirements for gauging/sampling tank which contain a product producinghydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the tank vapor space are as follows:

For H2S concentration < 10 ppm above the gauging hatch and < 300 ppmat the gauging hatch, no respiratory protection is required; a standby personis not necessary (Figure 1).

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 447/961

 

I14.6

For H2S concentration > 10 ppm above the gauging hatch and < 300 ppmat the gauging hatch, SCBA or supplied air is required; a standby person isnot necessary (Figure 2).

For H2S concentration > 300 ppm at the gauging hatch, SCBA or suppliedair with escape bottle and a standby person is required (Figure 3).

For the purpose of this discussion, at the hatch means on a plane level withthe top of the hatch.

 Alarm investigation

 All alarms should be investigated as an actual gas release with properrespiratory equipment and standby personnel.

Employees with personal monitors should be instructed to evacuate the areaimmediately even if the low alarm is the only one to sound.

General Work and Hazardous Work Permit

Efforts shall be made to reduce H2S levels to below 10 ppm beforeimplementing H2S/RPE procedures.

If RPE is required because of H2S levels, appropriate managementauthorization of the work should be required on the work permit. Second levelmanagement review is recommended for IDLH (> 300 ppm) work.

No tank, valve, line, flange, relief vent, pig access, etc. which may create an

H2S concentration of 10 ppm or greater in the employee's breathing zoneshall be opened without proper RPE (“G.1”). The H2S concentration in theprocess stream should be considered when determining the potential forexposure.

H2S procedures should always be employed if gas stream concentrationsexceed 300 ppm (volume) or 5 ppm (weight) in liquid streams regardless ofanticipated breathing zone levels.

Personal H2S instruments

Should be used by personnel not using RPE where there is a possibility thatthe breathing zone concentration may exceed 10 ppm, unless fixedmonitoring is effectively employed at the facility/location. These areas shouldbe described in the written H2S program.

Some areas may include:

a. Catwalks and inside of firewalls of sour tanksb. Sour crude tank batteries, well sites, and gas handling facilities

I14.7

c. Sour water stripper areas, amine units, sulfur plantsd. Tail gas (Beavon-Stretford) open reaction/regeneration tankse. Sour gas Compressors

If personal H2S monitors are issued to warn employees of H2S (as opposed tousing a gas test meter with readout to test for H2S concentration), thefacility/location should consider "alarm-only" monitors. Since there is no read-

out, employees will not have the tendency to further investigate the sourcewithout proper precautions or RPE.

Fixed-point H2S monitors:

Some considerations for applicability include, but are not limited to: Indoor,enclosed, or semi-enclosed process areas, compressor houses, etc.;

Near equipment with potential for failure, such as sour water pump seals;

Where required by regulation.

Signs and Postings

When the breathing zone concentration is 10-300 ppm, the following sign should beposted at employee access points.

DANGERHYDROGEN SULFIDE

POSITIVE PRESSURE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION REQUIRED

When the breathing zone concentration could exceed 300 ppm:

DANGERHYDROGEN SULFIDE

POSITIVE PRESSURE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION ANDSTANDBY PERSON REQUIRED

If posting at the base of a tank, add the words "WHEN TANK OPENED" after theword "REQUIRED." 

Tank battery access roads (particularly public access) should be posted with a sign:

DANGERPOISON GAS

Signs already in place conveying the same meaning need not be replaced.

Windsocks should be installed in easily visible locations where breathing zoneconcentrations (including tank hatch concentrations) may exceed 100 ppm.

I14.8

Emergency Procedures

The facility/location should have an Emergency Action Plan and procedures whichaddress H2S, including, at minimum:

Evacuation:

Evacuate personnel in a direction upwind or crosswind from the source to adesignated safe refuge;

Several selected areas of safe refuge for variable wind conditions;

Consider appropriate ventilation system scrubbers, air intake alarms,automatic shutdown of air handlers, and RPE systems to protect thosepersonnel who can not evacuate the area, such as control room personnel.

 Alarm Investigation

 All alarms should be treated as an actual gas release.

Respiratory protection shall be worn when investigating alarms, and actual orpotential releases.

First Aid and Rescue

DO NOT INITIATE ANY RESCUE WITHOUT WEARING SCBA.

DO NOT ATEMPT ANY RESCUE IF YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED ANDTRAINED

 A single standby person should not initiate rescue until radio contact hasbeen made and it is known that help is on the way.

 After donning SCBA and calling for help, remove the victim from the area ofexposure.

First-Aid and medical treatment instructions: After removing the victim to asafe location, clear the airway, begin mouth to mouth resuscitation. Thevictim will die from lack of oxygen unless resuscitation is promptly andsuccessfully administered.

 Administer oxygen if available and trained or qualified to do so.

Seek immediate medical attention.

I15.3

The Employee is responsible for

Understanding and complying with this policy/procedure as well as the LeadEmployee Project Specific Protection Plan.

Reporting to his immediate supervisor any problem, which may arise, or anysymptoms of lead exposure.

Definitions

Lead - The word “lead” when used in this program means elemental lead, allinorganic lead compounds. Lead is a heavy metal at room temperature andpressure and is a basic chemical element. It can combine with various othersubstances to form lead compounds.

Lead-based Paint - Although there is no federal guideline or definition for lead-basedpaint, it is generally accepted to be dry paint that contains 0.06% (600 ppm) orgreater lead by weight. A more restrictive limit for lead based paint may be defined

for specific projects by the project sponsor, the project owner, or federal, state orlocal regulation.

g/m   - Micrograms per cubic meter of air. Common units for reporting airborneconcentration of lead.

8-hour TWA Concentration - 8-hour Time-Weighted Average concentrations forairborne contaminants - common units for reporting daily airborne lead exposures.This is the lead exposure received per day expressed as a constant exposure foreight (8) hours at a steady state concentration.

g/100g - Micrograms per 100 grams of whole blood. Common units for reportingconcentrations of lead in blood samples. Also reported as g/dl (micrograms perdeciliter) of whole blood.

NIOSH/MSHA - National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health/Mine Safetyand Health Administration - Federal agencies which conduct research on safety andhealth issues and test and certify respirators.

HEPA filter - High Efficiency Particular Air filter - Filters that remove 99.97% of allparticulate 0.3 microns or greater in diameter.

Competent Person - One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable leadhazards in the surroundings or working condition and who has authorization to takeprompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

Action Level

The Action Level means employee exposure, without regard to the use of

respirators, to an airborne concentration of lead of thirty (30) g/m , calculated as an8-hour TWA.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 453/961

 

I15.4

Whenever workers’ airborne lead exposures exceed or are expected to exceed the Action Level, the following will be implemented for the work project:

Competent person

Employee information and training

Employee medical surveillance

 Airborne lead exposure monitoring

Record keeping

The Action Level may be exceeded where lead-containing coating or paint arepresent and the following activities are performed: abrasive blasting, cleanup ofexpendable abrasives, containment movement and removal, spray painting with leadpaint, manual scraping, manual sanding, power tool cleaning with and without dustcollection systems and heat gun applications. Some non-painting related activities

include: manual demolition of structures, welding, cutting, torch burning, rivetbusting, installation, removal, or demolition of lead containing materials, lead burningand lead contamination/emergency cleanup operations.

Permissible Exposure Limit

The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for airborne lead exposure is fifty (50) g/m ,as an 8-hour TWA concentration. This is the maximum 8-hour averageconcentration of lead that an employee may be exposed to during each work day.

No employee will be exposed to airborne lead above the PEL without proper

protection.

The following methods will be used, as feasible and effective, for maintainingairborne lead exposures below the PEL:

Engineering controls, such as general area ventilation for containments, localexhaust ventilation for spot removal, vacuum blasting or vacuum equippedpower tools. When ventilation for containments is used, manometers and/orvelometers, will be used to evaluate the mechanical performance of theventilation system

I15.5

During the period that respirators are worn, the protection factor of the specificrespirator may be used to determine employees’ exposure to airborne lead and toachieve compliance with the PEL. The protection factors listed in the respiratorselection table of Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries Respiratory ProtectionProgram. For example:

Measured airborne lead concentrations at the workers breathing zone: 300

g/m ,8-hour TWA

Half-mask, air-purifying, negative pressure respirator with HEPA filters wornall day: protection factor of 10

Employees daily lead exposure: 30 g/m

Competent Person

 All work activities where employee airborne lead exposures may exceed the ActionLevel will include a competent person in both the planning and performing stages of

projects involving lead exposure.

The competent person will be a person with training and experience in conducting jobs involving lead exposure. The competent person will have the capability ofidentifying hazards and the authority to take immediate action to eliminate them.

The competent person will be at the work site at all times while lead exposureactivities are in progress. They may have other job duties, but must be able tomonitor work continuously for hazards or deficiencies, and the authority to takeimmediate corrective action.

Employee Information and Training

 All employees who work on projects where airborne lead exposures are known to orexpected to be at or above the Action Level will be provided information and trainingon the hazards of lead and measures for controlling these hazards and protectinghealth.

Employees will receive initial comprehensive lead training before performing workthat may involve airborne lead exposure. This training will be repeated annually as arefresher course.

The content of lead training will include:

The specific nature of activities or operations that may result in airborne leadexposure above the Action Level

The health effects and risks of lead exposure

OSHA standards and guidelines for lead exposure

Engineering controls, including containments and ventilation systems

Containments

Where required by federal, state, or local regulation, the project sponsor, or theproject owner, containments will be constructed and used as specified.

The purpose of containments is to restrict or prevent the spread of lead-containingdust or debris to surrounding areas or the environment. While the proper use ofcontainments can help protect the public and the environment, they generally causea significant increase in airborne lead concentrations in the work area.Containments may increase the potential for higher employee lead exposures.Therefore, the use of well designed exhaust ventilation and the use of more

protective respirators may be necessary to properly protect workers.

Containments may include any of the following:

Rigid or flexible barriers or sheets surrounding the work area

Complete unventilated enclosures built around the work area

Complete enclosures maintained under negative pressure by exhaustventilation with exhaust air filtration

Containments may also require the construction and use of platforms or scaffolding.These may be stationary or movable, ground supported or suspended.

Shower facilities will comply withthe OSHA Standard, 29 CFR 1926.51, Sanitation. All employee whose airbornelead exposures may exceed the Permissible Exposure Limit will shower or at a

minimum wash their hands and face at the end of each work shift. Employeesrequired to shower will not leave the workplace wearing any clothing worn whileperforming lead exposure activities.

Clean lunch areas will be provided for all projects where employee airborne leadexposures may exceed the Permissible Exposure Limit. Employee will remove orclean their protective clothing and wash their hands and face before eating, drinkingor smoking. Airborne lead exposures in the lunch area will be maintained below the

 Action Level.

 An adequate number of clean lavatory and hand washing facilities will be provided.

These will comply with the OSHA Standard, 29 CFR 1926.51, Sanitation.

Where required by federal, state, or local regulation; the project sponsor; or theproject owner; decontamination units will be constructed and used as specified.These generally are maintained under negative pressure and contain clean changerooms, showers and dirty equipment rooms.

Protective Clothing and Equipment

Protective clothing and equipment will be worn by all employees whose airbornelead exposures may exceed the Permissible Exposure Limit. Protective clothing and

equipment will be provided at no cost to the employee.

Protective clothing will include washable or disposable full body coveralls. Otherprotective equipment will include faceshields, hats, gloves, shoes or disposable shoecovers, eye protection, and hearing protection as appropriate.

Disposable protective clothing will be used for no more than one (1) work day. Theywill be disposed of as lead-contaminated waste.

Reusable coverall will be collected at the end of each work day in closed containers.Contaminated clothing will be cleaned by authorized laundries according to all

applicable federal, state, or local regulations pertaining to lead-contaminated laundryand water discharge. All containers of lead-contaminated laundry will be labeled asfollows: CAUTION: CLOTHING CONTAMINATED WITH LEAD. DO NOTREMOVE DUST BY BLOWING OR SHAKING. DISPOSE OF LEADCONTAMINATED WASH WATER IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL,STATE OR FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

Exposure Monitoring

For each work project, personal air samples will be collected to determine airbornelead exposures to employees performing tasks involving lead exposure. Full shift (atleast 7 hours) air samples will be collected for each job classification in each workarea. The air samples will be taken for the shift with the highest expected exposurelevel. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries will implement employee protectivemeasures until results of the employee exposure assessment are received. Thecompetent person will be responsible to ensure that exposure monitoring isperformed.

Where initial monitoring indicates that lead exposures are below the Action Level,and where work activities and conditions will remain the same as at the time of initialsampling, additional monitoring need not be repeated for that work project. A writtenrecord of the air monitoring data will be kept at the job site.

Where initial monitoring indicates that lead exposures are at or above the ActionLevel but at or below the PEL, additional representative exposure monitoring will beconducted at least once every six (6) months for that work project. Where initialmonitoring indicates that lead exposures are above the PEL, additionalrepresentative exposure monitoring will be conducted at least once every three (3)

months. Representative monitoring should be conducted during the beginning ofeach different phase of the project or when changes occur, such as an increase inthe number of blasters in the area, to determine range or exposures for lead removaland clean-up activities.

 All air samples will be collected and analyzed according to NIOSH 7082 Method orequivalent. All samples will be analyzed by laboratories accredited under the

Laboratory Accreditation Program of the American Industrial Hygiene Association formetals analysis.

 All exposed employees will be notified in writing of the monitoring results within five(5) days after receiving these results.

Initial exposure monitoring may not be required when previously collected data hasconclusively determined that current job condition exposure levels will be less thanthe Action Level.

Housekeeping

 Accumulations of lead-containing dust and debris generated by work activities will beremoved and cleaned daily.

 All persons doing the clean-up will be trained in performing lead activities, respiratorqualified, and participate in the medical surveillance program. Respirators andprotective clothing will be worn by all persons doing the cleanup unless exposuremonitoring proves otherwise.

Wherever feasible, HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners will be used for housekeeping.

 All lead-containing dust and debris will be collected into sealed containers. Thewaste will be tested to determine whether it will be disposed as hazardous or non-hazardous waste.

Employees will not be permitted to remove lead-containing dust from protectiveclothing or equipment by blowing, shaking, or by any other means which disperseslead in the air.

Project Specific Requirements

The specific worker lead protection requirements for each lead-removal project will

be determined by Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries, the project sponsor, and theproject owner. The job specific requirements will be placed in Attachment 2 - LeadPaint Removal Project Specific Requirements. Enough detail will be provided as toaccurately outline the job specific requirements. This attachment will be posted atthe job site and maintained with the work records of the project.

PERSONNEL MONITORING

External Exposure

 All personnel working in a Restricted Area shall be provided with personaldosimetry devices to monitor the individual’s received radiation dose.Dosimeters will consist of either a film badge or thermoluminescent

dosimeter.

- Each dosimeter will be assigned to a specific person and will beworn only by that person. It will bear the name of the individualand/or a number corresponding to the individual assigned. Whenthe employee reports to work, they will attach their assigneddosimetry to their outermost clothing above the waist (typically atthe neck or collar) and wear it throughout the work shift. Utmostcare will be taken to prevent dosimeter loss or damage. At the endof the shift, the employee will leave his dosimeter in a location withlow background radiation readings as designated by the RSO/NS.

- Dosimeters will be read at 3 month intervals by Landauer, or otherapproved suppliers.

- Taking into account that oilfield NORM does not normally exhibithigh radiation exposure levels, the annual occupational dose limit toindividual adults working under this license shall be that which isthe most limiting of: the total effective dose equivalent being equalto 0.05 Sv (5 rem); or, the sum of the  deep dose equivalent and thecommitted dose equivalent to any individual organ or tissue otherthan the lens of the eye being equal to 0.5 Sv (50 rem). In any

other circumstances, those limits as specified in LAC 33:XV.410shall be utilized. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries shall reducethe dose that an individual may be allowed to receive in the currentyear by the amount of occupational dose received while employedby any other person(s)

- A control dosimeter will be kept at a low background area at alltimes and be read at the same frequency as those dosimeters wornby employees.

- Records of readings of the dosimeters will be maintained

indefinitely at the facility housing the corporate RSO for his review.In addition, each individual’s records shall be maintained at theiremployment facility. Pursuant to LAC 33:XV.1013, results of themonitoring will be reported to each individual once results arereceived. This may be done at scheduled safety meetings with theindividual initiating the report acknowledging his receipt.

Visitors and short term contractors (working less than 12 hours) entering aRestricted Area will not be assigned dosimetry. These individuals will bebriefed, as described in LAC 33:XV.1012, on the radiological health hazards

contained in the area and made aware of precautions to be taken to preventexposure to NORM.

Internal Exposure

No eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing will be allowed in Restricted Areas.Open wounds, sores, or cuts shall be reported to the RSO/NS and covered

with bandages and/or protective clothing prior to working in the Restricted Areas.

Significant intakes by ingestion or inhalation are presumed to occur only as aresult of accidents, poor procedure, inadvertence, or similar situations.Intakes will be evaluated and accounted for by techniques appropriate for theoccurrence as determined by the RSO/NS. Techniques measuring the intakeof radioactive material into the body may include bioassays (themeasurement of radioactivity excreted from the body), whole body counts (themeasurement of radioactivity in the body), or a combination thereof (per LAC33:XV.413) as necessary for timely detection and assessment of individual

intakes.

Baseline bioassays will not be required for workers involved in NORM activities dueto the large amount of NORM material which must be inhaled or ingested prior tobeing detectable using modern bioassay techniques. Documentation of thecircumstance and results of the bioassay shall be maintained by Moreno Group LLCand Subsidiaries for a minimum of five years. This documentation shall be madeavailable to LDEQ/RPD upon request.

Air Sampling

Every practicable effort shall be made to prevent or effectively reduceairborne NORM through proper equipment layout, design, and use ofengineering controls (i.e., wetting down NORM, ventilation systems, etc.) toan extent where respirator usage is not necessary.

When it is not practicable to apply process or other engineering controls tocontrol the concentrations of radioactive material in air to values below thosethat define an airborne radioactivity area, Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries shall, consistent with maintaining the total effective doseequivalent ALARA, increase monitoring and limit intakes by one or more ofthe following means:

- control of access;- limitation of exposure times;- use of respiratory protection equipment; or,- other controls.

 Air sampling shall be conducted of the Restricted Area breathing zone of allworkers wearing respiratory protection at the direction of the RSO/NS andboundaries of airborne-causing evolutions to ensure that no airborne

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 483/961

 

I16.8

radionuclides are being released to the environment outside of the Restricted Area.

 A low-volume air sampler equipped with a two inch filter holder and having avolumetric flow rate of at least 50 liters per minute shall be used to sample forairborne particulates. The air sampler shall be calibrated at least once every12 months and at each servicing.

The air will be drawn through a filter paper patch for a minimum of 20 minutesat a flow rate of 2 cfm to achieve proper volume. Longer run times to obtainlarger volumes will be allowed at the direction of the RSO/NS. Should anyemployee believe the instrument not be working properly, he should contactthe RSO/NS immediately.

Once air sampling is complete, the filter should be removed from the airsampler using tweezers to prevent cross-contamination and placed into aplastic bag for analysis. The bag should be labeled as a minimum with thedate the sample was taken, the start and stop times of the sample, air flow

rate, the sample location, and the printed initials of the person taking thesample.

 A chain of custody form will be completed to accompany the sample to anapproved lab for analysis. LDEQ/RPD approved field analysis may be usedfor analysis of air samples. The results of all air samples will be documentedand retained for a minimum of five years at Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries

Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries shall monitor, to determine compliancewith LAC 33:XV.413, the occupational intake of radioactive material by and

assess the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) to adults likely toreceive, in one year, an intake in excess of 10 percent of the applicable ALI inTable I, Columns 1 and 2, of Appendix B.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Protective Clothing

 A minimum of coveralls, gloves, and shoe coverings or water resistant bootsshall be worn by all personnel who may come into contact with NORMcontaminated items when entering a Restricted Area. Direct skin contact with

NORM scale, sludge, solids, waters or materials will be avoided to the extentpossible. Any coveralls, gloves, or shoe coverings that become torn will beimmediately replaced.

Eye protection, such as safety glasses equipped with side shields and arespirator with a HEPA filter, should also be worn while working in Restricted

 Areas.

Upon exiting an area of known or suspected NORM contamination, theworker will immediately proceed to a designated personal survey station in a

I16.9

low background area to perform a contamination frisk. Receptacles for usedcontaminated clothing will be made available at the exit area.

Respiratory Protection Procedures

This procedure delineates precautions and procedures for the use of respiratoryprotection equipment. Included in this procedure are items concerning

responsibilities, selection, fit testing, issuing, use, and maintenance of respirators.This procedure also addresses medical and bioassay evaluations.

Responsibilities

- It is the responsibility of the RSO to ensure that all aspects of thisprocedure are implemented and that all necessary materials toimplement this procedure are available. The RSO will ensure thatall potential wearers of respirators are properly trained andknowledgeable in the use of respirators; that respirators areproperly selected, issued, and used; and that respirator

maintenance is accomplished as provided by this procedure.

- All personnel wearing respirators are responsible to ensure thatthey are trained and knowledgeable in the use and maintenance ofrespirators. They should also ensure that they maintain themselvesqualified to wear and knowledgeable in the requirements to wearrespirators.

- It is the responsibility of all personnel to conduct themselves andtheir work assignments in a fashion so as to minimize, to thegreatest extent possible, the need for respiratory protection by

minimizing the amount of radioactive material disturbed into the air.

Materials

The materials necessary to implement this procedure vary. The following listserves as a guideline of items that may be kept on hand.

* NIOSH/MSHA Approved Respirators * Iodine Cleaning Solution* HEPA Respirator Filters * Respirator Repair Kit* Irritant Smoke Tubes * Air Sampler* Alcohol Wipes * Air Sampler Filters

* Face shields * Ziploc Bags (for A/S filters)* Respirator Qualification Sheet * Air Sample Data Log* HEPA Ventilation Unit

Operating With Respirators

- Philosophy

1) State and federal regulations state that respirators will beprescribed only when it is likely that a potential for the

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 485/961

 

I16.10

inhalation of ingestion of radioactive material exists at levelsabove those prescribed in LAC 33:XV, Chapter 4, AppendixB, or in oxygen deficient or toxic contaminant confined spaceentries. Respirators will not be a contamination controlmethod nor will they be used as a substitute for engineeringor process controls.

2) To the greatest extent practical, Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries will incorporate process or engineering controlsto limit the concentrations of radioactive materials in the airto levels below those specified in LAC 33:XV, Chapter 4,

 Appendix B. These controls will also be used to assist inconfined space entries. These controls will include, but arenot limited to, system venting, system flushing, and the useof containments and HEPA ventilation systems.

3) Contaminated equipment or areas may be wiped down ordecontaminated to limit the potential for airborne radioactive

or toxic contaminants and the subsequent need forrespirators.

4) Good work practices will be incorporated so as to limit thepotential for airborne radioactive or toxic contaminants andthe subsequent need for respirators.

- Respirator Selection

1) When it becomes necessary for an employee or contractorentering a Restricted Area likely to contain airborne

contamination, that person shall wear a properly fittedNIOSH/MSHA approved respirator equipped with cartridgescapable of removing airborne radionuclides. The RSO/NSwill determine when respirators are justified for anymaintenance activity and shall use the followingconsiderations:

(a) the nature of the maintenance activity,

(b) the levels of contamination,

(c) the duration of the task,

(d) the use and effectiveness of process andengineering controls,

(e) the potential for decontamination, and

(f) any other hazards present such as hydrogen sulfide,ammonium’s, or oxygen deficiency. 

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 486/961

 

I16.11

2) The RSO/NS will select the appropriate respirator to ensurethat the average concentration of radioactive materialinhaled during respirator use does not exceed theconcentrations specified in LAC 33:XV, Chapter 4, AppendixB. For confined space entries, respirators will be selectedfor oxygen deficient atmospheres and to limit toxic

contaminant exposure to levels below the PEL.

3) Half-face, full face negative pressure, supplied air, and self-contained air respirators may be used, depending on thetype and levels of contaminants encountered. For mostactivities, the half-face respirator will provide sufficientprotection. However, for environments which are oxygendeficient or contaminated with ammoniums, hydrocarbons,or hydrogen sulfide, the RSO may determine that the self-contained breathing respirator is warranted.

4) Respirators will only be used when necessary to limit thepotential ingestion or inhalation of radioactive materials ortoxic contaminants, or in oxygen deficient atmospheres.When it is necessary or warranted to use respirators, it isimportant to select a respirator that adequately protects theworker, but will not unnecessarily burden him. Negativepressure, full-face respirators and SCBA’s, in particular,increase worker fatigue and limits the time the worker maywork safely.

5) If the RSO/NS determines that respirators are warrantedbased on the Hazards/Exposures, the RSO/NS will specifythe type of respirator and for what work activity it is to beworn on the RWP and/or on the confined space entry permit.

- Fit Test

1) To ensure a given respirator provides the worker withprescribed protection, qualitative fit tests will be performedby every potential respirator wearer with any and everyrespirator type that might be worn (i.e., half-face, full-facenegative pressure, SCBA, etc.).

2) Qualitative fit tests will be performed initially and withrefresher training.

3) Qualitative fit tests are performed by donning the respirator,performing a negative pressure face seal test, and thetesting the face seal area with irritant or aroma smoke. Bycovering the face seal area with the smoke and breathingnaturally, the respirator wearer immediately recognizeswhether the respirator fits properly.

- Issuing Respirators

1) Prior to issuing a respirator to anyone, the RSO/NS, or his

designee, will determine that the individual is qualified towear that type of respirator.

2) As a minimum, the following items will be verified for eachwearer:

(a) physical examination,

(b) qualitative fit test,

(c) training,

(d) type and size of respirator, if appropriate.

3) Respirator qualifications need only be verified once during agiven job at a temporary jobsite as long as any individual’squalifications will not expire during the job. Records of therespirator qualifications shall be maintained by MorenoGroup LLC and Subsidiaries for a period not less than 5years.

- Using Respirators

1) Inspection

(a) Each individual issued a respirator will be required tovisually inspect the respirator prior to its use to ensurethat it is in good operating condition.

(b) The inspection should include the tightness of theconnections and the condition of the harness, thecoverings, filter(s), canister(s), and the cartridge(s).

(c) Each wearer should also ensure that the filter,cartridge, or canister being used is applicable forradioactive particulates or radionuclides. The filter,cartridge, or canister should be specified as 99.97%efficient for protection against radioactive particulatesor radionuclides or for use with organic vapors andmists.

RADIATION AND CONTAMINATION SURVEYS

Radiation surveys shall be conducted to determine exposure rates, area postings,presence or absence of loose surface, fixed and airborne contamination and forestablishing baseline and release criteria.

ACTION LEVELS FOR DEFINING RADIATION AREAS

Definitions

 A Radiation Area is an area accessible to individuals in which there exists radiationat such levels that a major portion of the body could receive in any one hour a dosein excess of 5 millirems (0.05 millisievert), or in any five consecutive days, a dose inexcess of 100 millirems (1 millisievert).

 A High Radiation  Area is an area accessible to individuals in which there existradiation at such levels that a major portion of the body could receive in any onehour a dose in excess of 100 millirems (1 millisievert).

 An Airborne Radioactivity  Area is an area in which airborne radioactive materialsexists in concentrations:

- in excess of the derived air concentrations (DAC’s) specified in LAC33:XV Chapter 4, Appendix B, Table 1; or

- to such a degree that an individual present in the area withoutrespiratory protective equipment could exceed, during the hours anindividual is present in a week, an intake of 0.6% of the annual limiton intake (ALI) or 12 DAC hours.

 A Radioactive Material Area  is an area where NORM contaminated equipment orwaste is stored, utilized, or treated. A facility or area may be posted as aRadioactive Material Area and contain within it one or more work areas controlled asRestricted Areas.

 A Restricted Area  is an area, excess to which is limited by the license for thepurpose of protecting individuals against undue risks from exposure to sources ofradiation.

Radiation surveys shall be conducted at each jobsite to ensure that the

exposure rates are less than 2,000 uR/hr at the boundary of any Restricted Area and that exposure rates at the perimeter are such that a member of thegeneral public will not receive a dose greater than 100 mrem in one calendaryear. An action level of 600 uR/hr will be used for exposure rates at theperimeter of temporary jobsites. If this exposure rate is encounteredanywhere on the perimeter, work activities will stop and the RSO will beimmediately notified. Work activities shall not recommence until the radiationlevels at the perimeter have been lowered.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 507/961

 

I16.32

PRE-OPERATIONAL TESTING OF SURVEY INSTRUMENTS

Four different pre-and post-operational checks will be performed on surveyinstruments. They may also be conducted any time the user believes andinstrument may not be operating properly. These checks include:

 A physical integrity check,

 A battery check (to also be performed during each use)

Source response check (with a button source, lantern mantle, or NORMsample)

Check the calibration sticker to ensure proper calibration requirementshave been met.

CARE AND USE

Radiation and contamination survey instruments are very fragile. Therefore,extreme care will be taken during storage and while being handled. When surveyingpersonnel, equipment, or land for unrestricted release, the instruments shall only beused by individuals trained in accordance with this license and current LRR.

DECONTAMINATION

PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION

 All personnel exiting a Restricted Area are required to have a personal friskperformed as outline in the license. When sustained readings above backgroundare encountered requiring decontamination, the method used should be chosen onthe basis of not only the effectiveness of removing the contamination, but also theeffect it will have on the individual.

NORM contamination on the skin is best removed by gently washing theaffected area with a mild, high lather soap and tepid water. A waterlesswashing gel may also be used and wiped from the skin with rags beingcareful not to push the contamination further into the skin. Upon completionof the initial washing process, the affected area shall be re-surveyed. Ifnecessary, a second washing will be performed and the area againresurveyed. If contamination is still present after two washings, the RSO/NSwill be contacted for further guidance.

If clothing (or rags) is found to be contaminated, it shall be washed andsurveyed until it is free of contamination. If it cannot be decontaminated, itshall be disposed of as NORM waste.

 All wash water shall be collected and handled in accordance the license.

I16.36

document. Following are additional general operational procedures to those alreadyoutlined in this license that will be taken when performing NORM activities at thetemporary jobsites.

TUBULAR (PIPE) AND MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Tubular and miscellaneous equipment cleaning will take place over an

impermeable surface such as a concrete slab, drip pans, etc. to containNORM contamination and prevent the spread of the contamination.

 A high pressure water lance, flex auger, fixed auger, heating, and/or a dry airtool system may be utilized to clean the tubulars. Other methods may beemployed as long as the requirements of this license are met.

- The water lance will utilize a multi-port tip affixed to it allowingcircumferential spraying inside the tubular. The waste and wash watergenerated will be collected and contained as mentioned above. All washand spray fluids will be recycled and filtered to minimize waste.

- The air tool scrapes the internal surface of the tubular using centrifugalforce to remove the scale. The NORM particles are sent to a collectionchamber from where the air is filtered prior to release into the atmosphere.

- Heat may be applied to the tubular surface to remove the moisture fromthe NORM scale effectively causing it to flake off. Small hand tools mayalso aid the removal of fixed NORM contamination.

Radiological controls (PPE, postings, minimizing exposure, etc.) shall beincorporated and followed as delineated in the RWP and/or as directed by the

RSO/NS.

TANK AND VESSEL CLEANING

 Areas around tanks or vessels requiring cleaning will be protected asnecessary with suitable impermeable protective materials (concrete slabwhen available, drip pans, etc.).

NORM contaminated tanks or vessels will be cleaned using vacuum trucks,hydrolances, hand tools, portable vacuum systems, or other appropriatemeans as long as the requirements of this license are met. To clean process

vessels while in production, a remote hydraulic hydro-injection and suctiondevice may be used. Attachment, and detachment, of hoses, fittings, orvalves should not result in spillage of NORM materials to unprotected areas.

Tanks or vessels evaluated as confined spaces shall be treated as such inaccordance with 29CFR1910.146 and the attached Moreno Group LLC andSubsidiaries policy. Radiological controls, postings and worker protectionprocedures will be incorporated as outlined in this license and delineated inthe RWP and/or as directed by the RSO/NS.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 512/961

 

I16.37

LAND AND SOIL REMEDATION

Prior to commencing remediation (decontamination) of NORM contaminatedland and soil, a thorough radiological assessment of the area will beperformed as specified in the license and LRR. This assessment willestablish background levels of radiation exposure in the adjacent area andidentify those areas needing to be remediated.

NORM contaminated land and soil will be remediated using equipment suchas backhoes, graders, front end loaders, hand tools, or similar equipment andplaced into containers appropriate to the situation.

Radiological controls, postings, and other worker protection procedures willbe instituted into the remediation activities as outlined in this license and asdelineated in the RWP and/or as directed by the RSO/NS.

 At job completion, a release survey shall be performed of the remediated areaas described in Section 7.1 of this license and the Division’s current

“Implementation Manual for Management of NORM in Louisiana”. Oncecontaminated, areas may not be released for unrestricted use prior to close-out authorization by the LDEQ/RPD as prescribed in LAC 33:XV.1417.

ENCAPSULATION OF NORM

Encapsulation of NORM into pipe or tubulars provides the generator a meanswith which to dispose of his NORM waste into a plugged and abandoned welllocation. This encapsulation activity shall be performed in an area protectedwith suitable impermeable protective materials (concrete slab, drip pans,etc.).

The pipe or tubular used shall be constructed of steel, PVC, or other suitablematerials. After placing a plate (or end cap) on one end of the pipe forcontainment, the NORM waste will be place into it. If the waste is a dryproduct, water may be added to minimize the potential for airborne particlesand/or to maximize flow into the capsule. Once the pipe is filled, the oppositeend will be closed in a similar fashion.

Radiological controls, postings, and other worker protection procedures willbe incorporated as outlined in this license and as delineated in the RWP,and/or as directed by the RSO/NS.

The filled capsule shall be marked, labeled, and handled as outlined in thislicense similar to other containers of NORM waste.

VOLUME REDUCTION

NORM waste will be placed through a volume reduction device using variousmesh screens, possibly in combination with a shaker system, to separate thewaste or foreign debris into respective particle sizes. Materials may betransferred utilizing a variety of methods depending on the material handling

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

I16.38

characteristics of the NORM. Water, mud, surfactants, emulsifiers,stabilizers, and other chemicals may be added to facilitate handling andtreatment. Water used in the process will be recycled and filtered.

Radiological controls, postings, and other worker protection procedures willbe incorporated as outlined in this license and as delineated in the RWP,and/or as directed by the RSO/NS.

NORM TREATMENT / SLURRING FOR DOWNHOLE DISPOSAL

Treatment of slurring of NORM waste may be accomplished by utilizing amixing tank and injection unit. The unit may consist of a shaker, chopperpump, auger tank, inclined auger, generator, triplex pump, centrifuge, watertank, settling tank, and decontamination enclosure.

NORM waste will be placed into the shaker and small particles will passthrough a mesh screen. Larger particles will be funneled through a chopperpump to grind the material and drop it into a tank. Material that cannot be

grinned are removed and decontaminated by hand. The waste that fell intothe tank will be mixed with water and a bentonite or polymer to have theNORM waste remain suspended until disposal. This material will becirculated through the auger tank until being pumped into the well preparedfor NORM disposal or into a cutting box for temporary storage.

Prior to injecting NORM into a plug and abandon well location, the generatorwill submit the proper form (UIC-30) to the Department of Natural Resources,Office of Conservation, Injection and Mining Division in Baton Rouge forapproval.

Once written authorization is received, a copy of the completed UIC-30 form shallbe submitted to LDEQ/RPD along with form RPD-34.

Plugging and abandon procedures utilized by the generator will be inaccordance with the guidelines set forth by the Injection and Mining Division.Radiological controls, postings, and other worker protection procedures willbe incorporated as outlined in this license and delineated in the RWP and/oras directed by the RSO/NS.

NORM HANDLING

 All NORM handling will be in accordance with this license and LRR. NORM

contaminated equipment and waste containers may be handled by forklift, crane,manually, or other similar means with extreme care being taken not to damage theintegrity of the material containing the NORM preventing the potential spread ofcontamination.

I17.11

Fit Testing Procedures

Employees using a tight-fitting facepiece respirator must pass a qualitative fit test(QLFT) or a quantitative fit test (QNFT). The employee must be fit tested with thesame make, model, style, and size of respirator that will be used by the employee.The fit QLFT and QNFT protocols and procedures available for Moreno Group LLCand Subsidiaries’ use are stated in the OSHA Respiratory Protection Regulation 29

CFR 1910.134.

Fit Testing Schedule

Before an employee may use any negative or positive pressure tight-fittingrespirator the employee must be fit tested.

Fit testing shall be conducted whenever a different respirator facepiece (size,style, model, or make) is used and then annually.

Changes in the employee’s physical condition that could affect respirator fit

shall require re-fit testing. Some examples include obvious changes in bodyweight, facial scarring, and dental changes.

Fit Testing Considerations

Respirators may need to be modified before fit testing. Remove anymodifications to the respirator so it is restored to NOISH-approvedconfiguration before using the facepiece in the workplace

The test shall not be conducted if there is any hair growth between the skinand the facepiece sealing surface, such as stubble beard growth, beard,

mustache or sideburns which cross the respirator sealing surface. Any type ofapparel, which interferes with a satisfactory fit, shall be altered or removed.

Qualitative Testing (OLFT)

Qualitative fit tests shall be used to fit test only negative pressure air-purifyingrespirators that are used for a fit factor of 100 or less.

Qualitative fit tests shall be conducted using the employee’s actual respirator.Convert the facepiece into a negative pressure respirator if it is not already anegative pressure respirator. Use appropriate filters for negative pressure

respirators or an identical surrogate for the atmosphere supplying or PAPRfacepiece and convert to a negative pressure respirator.

Quantitative Testing (ONFT)

Quantitative fit tests are passed only when a tight-fitting facepiece fit factor of100 or more has been achieved for half-facepieces and 500 or more hasbeen achieved for full facepieces.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 535/961

 

I17.12

Quantitative fit testing shall require sampling inside the facepiece midwaybetween the nose and the mouth of the employee. Modification of theemployee’s respirator with a temporary sampling adapter or surrogaterespirator modification to accept a permanent sampling probe is required.

Respirator Use Procedures

Procedures include proper use for routine and reasonably foreseeable emergencysituations. The following procedures establish proper use of respirators. Proceduralrequirements include:

Prohibiting facepiece seal leakage,

Preventing removal of respirators in hazardous environments,

Ensuring continued effective respirator operation throughout the work shift,

 And

Preventing use of respirators in IDLH atmosphere without approval of theadministrator and prior development of specific written procedures.

Facepiece Seal Protection

Conditions That Will Prevent Employees Wearing Tight -Fitting FacepieceRespirators

When facial hair comes between the sealing surface of the facepiece,

When facial hair interferes with valve function, and

When any condition interferes with the face-to-facepiece seal or valvefunction.

Ensure Tight Fitting Respirator Seals To The Employee’s Face 

Ensure corrective glasses or goggles or other personal protective equipmentis worn in a manner that does not interfere with the seal of the facepiece tothe face.

Ensure the employee performs a user seal check each time the respirator isput on. Use the following procedure. The user seal check is not a substitutefor qualitative or quantitative fit testing.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 536/961

 

I17.13

Facepiece Positive and/or Negative Pressure Checks

Positive Pressure Check.

Close off the exhalation valve and exhale gently into the facepiece. The facefit is considered satisfactory if a slight positive pressure can be built up insidethe facepiece without any evidence of outward leakage of air at the seal. For

most respirators this method of leak testing requires the wearer to firstremove the exhalation valve cover before closing off the exhalation valve andthen carefully replacing it after the test.

Negative Pressure Check.

Close off the inlet opening of the cartridges by covering with the palm of thehand(s) or by replacing the filter seal(s), inhale gently so that the facepiececollapses slightly, and hold the breath for ten seconds. The design of the inletopening of some cartridges cannot be effectively covered with the palm of thehand. In this case, perform the test by covering the inlet opening of the

cartridge with a material so that no air may pass the inlet opening. If thefacepiece remains in its slightly collapsed condition and no inward leakage ofair is detected, the tightness of the respirator is considered satisfactory.

Manufacturer's Recommended User Seal Check Procedures

The respirator manufacturer's recommended procedures for performing auser seal check may be used instead of the positive and/or negative pressurecheck procedures provided that the employer demonstrates that themanufacturer's procedures are equally effective.

Ensure Continuing Respirator Effectiveness

The First Line Supervisor or Superintendent shall provide appropriatesurveillance of the work area conditions and degree of employee exposure orstress. When there is a change in work area conditions or degree ofemployee exposure or stress that may affect respirator effectiveness,respirator use shall be reevaluated. To reevaluate respirator use, contact theProgram Administrator.

The employee shall leave the respirator use area for the following reasons:

To wash faces and respirator facepieces as necessary to prevent eye orskin irritation from respirator use, or

If vapor or gas breakthrough, changes in breathing resistance , orfacepiece leakage is detected, or

To replace respirators, the filter, or the cartridge.

Inadequacies in the employee’s knowledge or use of the respiratorindicate that the employee has not retained the knowledge;

 Any other situation arises in which retraining appears necessary to ensuresafe respirator use.

Information for Employees Using Respirators When Not Required Under theStandard

Respirators are an effective method of protection against designated hazardswhen properly selected and worn. Respirator use is encouraged, even whenexposures are below the exposure limit, to provide an additional level ofcomfort and protection for workers. However, if a respirator is used improperlyor not kept clean, the respirator itself can become a hazard to the worker.Sometimes, workers may wear respirators to avoid exposures to hazards,even if the amount of hazardous substance does not exceed the limits set byOSHA standards.

I17.19

If a respirator is provided by Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries forvoluntary use, of if the respirator is employee provided, certain precautionsare required to be sure that the respirator itself does not present a hazard.The following is required:

Read and heed all instructions provided by the manufacturer on use,maintenance, cleaning and care, and warnings regarding the respirators

limitations.

Choose respirators certified for use to protect against the contaminant ofconcern. NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Healthcertifies respirators. A label or statement of certification should appear onthe respirator or respirator packaging. The label or statement ofcertification will tell you what the respirator is designed for and how muchit will protect you.

Do not wear the respirator into atmospheres containing contaminants forwhich the respirator is not designed to protect against. For example, a

respirator designed to filter dust particles will not protect against gases,vapors, or very small solid particles of fumes or smoke.

Keep track of the respirator so that one employee’s respirator is notmistakenly used by someone else.

Program Evaluation Procedures

Program evaluation shall be conducted to ensure that the written program is properlyimplemented and employees are using respirators properly.

Provisions of the written program shall be evaluated to ensure they havebeen implemented and are effective.

Employees shall be regularly consulted to assess the employees’ views onprogram effectiveness and to identify any problems. Problems identified shallbe corrected. Factors to be assessed at least include:

Respirator fit (including respirator use without interfering with workplaceperformance)

 Appropriate selection for the hazards to which the employee is exposed.

Proper respirator use.

Proper respirator maintenance.

Notes:1Employers may select respirators assigned for use in higher workplace concentrations of ahazardous substance for use at lower concentrations of that substance, or when requiredrespirator use is independent of concentration.

2The assigned protection factors in Table 1 are only effective when the employerimplements a continuing, effective respirator program as required by this section (29 CFR

1910.134), including training, fit testing, maintenance, and use requirements.3This APF category includes filtering facepieces, and half masks with elastomericfacepieces.

4The employer must have evidence provided by the respirator manufacturer that testing ofthese respirators demonstrates performance at a level of protection of 1,000 or greater toreceive an APF of 1,000. This level of performance can best be demonstrated byperforming a WPF or SWPF study or equivalent testing. Absent such testing, all otherPAPRs and SARs with helmets/hoods are to be treated as loose-fitting facepiecerespirators, and receive an APF of 25.

5These APFs do not apply to respirators used solely for escape. For escape respiratorsused in association with specific substances covered by 29 CFR 1910 subpart Z,employers must refer to the appropriate substance-specific standards in that subpart.

Escape respirators for other IDLH atmospheres are specified by 29 CFR 1910.134 (d)(2)

Requirements

Air Tugger / Winch Installation

Installation personnel should be trained and knowledgeable in air tugger / winchinstallation. During the installation of an air tugger, never weld on any part of thewinch.  All supporting structure, mounting hardware and load attaching hardware mustbe in accordance with all applicable standards, codes and regulations. When movingthe winch, ensure proper rigging is used and the lift is not made over personnel.

Prior to the installation of the air tugger on location, the installation team shall perform asite assessment as part of the Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA) process.This site assessment shall be performed where the air tugger will be mounted and theentire path that the load will be taking. The path shall be evaluated to ensure allobstacles are removed prior to the installation of the tugger. If an obstacle is unable tomoved, a different plan shall be developed. In addition to the path being evaluated, theassessment shall ensure that the mounting surface will be large enough for air tugger /winch and the operator. Refer to air tugger / winch the Manufacture’s  ProductInformation Manuals for specific information on mounting surface requirements,attaching hardware and power supply requirements. This assessment shall include the

evaluation of the operator ’s ability to reach all controls comfortably and observe loadsduring operation.

The installation team shall check that sufficient space is available to operate winchcontrol, manual brake or other components and to make inspections or adjustmentswhen necessary. No welding shall be performed on the winch portion of the air tuggersince this process can change the physical properties of some of the parts, which canaffect strength or durability. In addition to the possibility of changing the physicalproperties, the excessive heat can be generated which can affect and/or damageinternal parts such as seals and bearings.

Once the appropriate location has been determined by the installation team, the areashall be hard barricaded prior to any deck penetrations are made to access the maindeck beams.

The air tugger / winch shall be welded directly to the deck beams with the use of plateclips (dogs). Both the installation procedure and number of plate clips need to beevaluated and approved by the Facility’s Registered Structural Engineer  

Note: The only exception to this rule will be for 1 ton air tuggers / winch. The tie downof this piece of equipment can be performed by use of certified Alloy Grade 80 riggingchain.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 557/961

J1.6 

Installation of Air Tugger / Winch for Onshore Operations

Installation of an air tugger / winch within an onshore facility, the ability to weld the airtugger / winch to the structure may not be an option. If during the installation the airtugger / winch is unable to be welded to the facility, it maybe tied down by use ofcertified Alloy Grade 80 rigging chains.

Note: The preferred method of tie down will be appropriately welding down the airtugger / winch onto the facility.

Warning Labels and Tags

Installation personnel shall not remove or obscure any warning label(s) or tag(s). Theseindividuals shall ensure warning label(s) or tag(s) are visible to the personnel in thearea. If warning label(s) or tag(s) are damaged, illegible or become lost, contact therental company for replacements.

Data Plate

Ensure that data (name) plate is attached and readable. Replacement data (name)plates are available when complete winch serial number is provided to the manufacture.

Power Supply

To ensure the best performance with any power supplied (electrical, hydraulically orpneumatic) to the winch; it must meet the manufactures specifications for the air tugger/ winch. The recommended power supply for an air tugger / winch can be located in theManufacture’s Product Information Manual.

Should a power supply of less than recommended be used, this will result in reducedwinch performance and may cause some items such as brakes, overload valves or limitswitches to function incorrectly. Exceeding the power supply can cause winch to exceedrated performance in addition, brakes, overload sensors, limit switches/valves may notfunction correctly.

In those cases where electrical power is used to as a power source to the operations, alicensed electrician shall install, properly ground and commission the electrical powersource to these operations.

Electric winches can also be affected by contamination. To reduce this possibility, the

motor and controls should be kept clean and ensure phase, cycle and voltage of motormagnetic reversing starter and controls all match the electrical service being used..

 Air and hydraulic powered winches require filtration before the control valve. TheManufacture’s Product Information Manuals should be referred to for specific filtrationlevel, type and location. Without filtration, contaminates can enter the system and causecomponents to malfunction.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 558/961

 

J1.7 

In those cases where multiply air tuggers / winches are to be used simultaneously, themanufactures’ specifications shall be applied to each individual air tugger / winchinvolved in the operations.

 All connections must be tight and installation made with hoses, cables and/or fittingsthat are new or in good condition and rated for the power supplied. Pneumaticconnections shall be secured using both a safety pin and the appropriately sized whipchecks.

Shut off Valve

On all pneumatic powered air tuggers / winches the installation personnel shall ensurean accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed in the air supply line. Thevalve position shall be installed within easy range of the operator and positioned so thatactivation can occur quickly or any person in the area of the air tugger / winch can alsoactivate the valve. In addition to an emergency shut off valve, this valve will provide theoperator a positive way of stopping the air tugger / winch operations in the event of anemergency or prior to performing any adjusting, servicing, maintenance or maneuveringof wire rope on the winch drum. Any time the air tugger is left unattended the air tugger

shall be shut down and depressurized. All personnel involved in and/or around the airtugger operations shall be instructed and shown where this valve is located.

 Air Tugger / Winch Controls

The location of controls and their features varies between air tuggers / winches. This isdependent on application requirements for each individual air tugger / winch. Theoperator shall be familiar with location of controls and their features. Operators shouldbe aware that controls are not always included with electric and hydraulic poweredwinches. Due to the differences in each air tugger / winch, users and operators shouldnot assume that all winches operate the same. Although, there are many similarities,

every air tugger / winch should be reviewed to identify their individual characteristics.Each air tugger / winch has specific characteristics that the operator must understandand be familiar with.

For instance Ingersoll Rand’s winches are operated by applying power to a motor,which is connected through a drive train to the drum. The direction of the drum rotationand speed is managed by the controls. Various controls are available with the winchesand are dependent on power source, location to winch and degree of control required.

For air winches, full flow control valves are normally used which are connected directlyto the winch motor. These have a lever, which is actuated forward and back for direction

control. The degree of lever movement controls drum speed.

Safety features for these operations; levers should not be able to engage without goingthrough another action first, such as pulling up a safety pin or resisting a safety spring.

Pendant controls are typically used on electric winches but are also available onpneumatic and hydraulic winches. This type of control sends a signal back to a valve orcontrol panel mounted to the winch. This control allows the operator to be somedistance from the winch. Pendant controls have levers or buttons which control forwardand reverse drum rotation. The use of pendant controls require additional safety

The installation location shall be evaluated for ventilation to ensure exhaust from theseoperations does not affect other operations and eliminates personnel from standing in or

around exhaust streams. A muffler should be used to reduce noise level to acceptablelimits. Pipe away the exhaust where possible to prevent oil mist creating a slipperyenvironment.

On pneumatic powered winches, careful consideration must be given to the exhaust.

Noise. Using piping or tubing to move exhaust away from operator can reducethis. The addition of a muffler is also recommended to reduce noise level.

Misting. Clean and remove any build-up of oily residue in area.

Natural/Sour Gas For air powered winches that use natural/sour gas as thepower source, pipe away exhaust from winch. Exhaust system shall provide saferemoval or recirculation of gas and meet all applicable federal, state, and localsafety regulations –  Note:  This application is discouraged and must haveMoreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries Management’s Approval  at the VicePresident level prior to the use of this type of power supply.

Unauthorized Modifications to Air Tugger / Winch

During the installation or during the operations of any air tugger / winch, nounauthorized modification shall be allowed without the manufactures written approvalprior to the modification being performed.

 Air Tugger / Winch Guards and Barricading of Operations

 All guards shall be installed to prevent personnel from accidentally contacting anyexposed moving parts associated with the winch drum. Personnel shall ensure theguards do not interfere with the air tugger / winch wire rope spooling or controloperations. Guarding moving parts of an air tugger / winch from accidental contact withpersonnel shall be a prime consideration for the installation and maintaining of guardson the air tugger / winch. Guards shall be capable of supporting, without permanentdistortion, the weight of a 200 lb person. In addition, guards shall not cause an operatorto work in a non-stable or ergonomically incorrect position.

The travel area through which the air tugger / winch wire rope travels shall bebarricaded with Red Danger Tape to prevent non essential personnel from entering thearea without permission.

 Approval Prior to Start of Operations

Upon completion of the installation of the air tugger to its fixed location, a photo shall betaken and sent to the Facility’s Register Structural Engineer  or Designee for approval oftie down method and location.

Snatch Block or Sheave Installation

To prevent the improper spooling of the wire rope on the winch drum, a snatch block orsheave shall be placed 6 to 8 feet in front of the air tugger. In those cases where the airtugger / winch is being used to perform a vertical lift, the snatch block shall be placed

above air tugger / winch prior to the line being ran through the deck or gradingpenetration.

To help prevent individuals from placing their hands on the air tugger / winch line, Red“Danger” Barricade tape shall be placed on the snatch block or sheave as streamers tohelp remind individuals not to place their hands on the wire rope.

The snatch block is used to help prevent the improper spooling of the drum rope.

Note: There are two (2) exceptions to this rule they are as follows:

 Air tugger / winch operations that requires a straight pull in a horizontal direction.During these operations a snatch block or sheave is not required.

 Air tugger / winch operations that will be performing a downward lift and does nothave an appropriate anchor point for a snatch block or sheave above the deckopening. In this case the First Line Supervisor must ensure the deck opening isproperly sized and runs the full length of the drum.

Ensuring the proper selection and installation of wire rope and sheaves is important tomaintain the safety of these operations. Sheaves and sheave mounting must bedesigned and selected in accordance with all applicable standards, codes and

J1.10 

regulations. Improper installation of wire rope or sheave can cause uneven spooling andwire rope damage that could cause a load to drop.

The First Line Supervisor shall ensure wire rope and the rigging accessories arecorrectly rated for the application. The following shall be considered when determiningthe rating: weight of the load, weight of the rigging and rigging accessories.

Example of Sheave Sizes Wire Rope Diameter Min. Sheave Diameter inch mm inch mm

Wire Rope Diameter Minimum Sheave DiameterInch. mm. Inch. mm.

¼ 6 4-1/2 108

3/8 9 6-3/4 162

¾ 18 13-1/2 324

7/8 22 15-3/4 396

1 26 18 468

When using a sheave check minimum D/d ratio for application.

D = Sheave Pitch Diameterd = Wire Rope Diameter

Typically for hoisting applications an 18:1 ratio is required. Periodically check sheaves for wear inaccordance with sheave manufacturer recommendation.

Maneuvering of Air Tugger / Winch Wire Rope

To help maneuver the wire rope back into the proper sequence, either a certified gratinghook should be place at the air tugger / winch or a come-a-long or Cadillac shall beplaced on the winch. Should the wire rope begin to improperly spool, a certified gratinghook, the come-a-long or Cadillac shall be used to pull the wire rope back into theproper sequence.

Deck or Grating Penetrations

 All deck or grating penetrations performed for below deck lifts / pulls shall be made insuch a way that promotes proper spooling of the air tugger / winch and protects againstthe wire rope rubbing or snagging on the edges of the penetration. To help protect thewire rope from rubbing or snagging on the edges of the penetration, the installationteam shall place softening material to eliminate potential damage to the wire rope by its

contact with the edge of the penetration.

 All deck penetrations shall be appropriately barricaded per our open hole procedureswhich should include the appropriate fall protections systems if warranted.

Pneumatic Operated Air Tuggers / Winches Operated in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Due to the potential for rubbing and friction, which may cause sparks or elevatedtemperatures that could be a source of ignition in an explosive atmosphere, the First

J1.11 

Line Supervisor shall ensure the air tugger / winch operations receives a hot workpermit. The hot work permit shall be obtained from the facility owner for the air tugger /winch operations. The First Line Supervisor is responsible for incorporating all permitrequirements into the air tugger / winch operations.

Pre Use Inspection / Pre Lift Testing

Prior to every shift and prior to the initial start up of any air tugger operations a pre use

inspection of the winch, wire rope and rigging shall be performed. Any deficiencies shallbe noted on the pre use inspection form, the First Line Supervisor Notified and thedeficiencies corrected prior to the air tugger operations beginning. The pre useinspection shall be documented on the Air Tugger Operations Pre Use Inspection Form.(see attachment 1)

The intent of an air tugger / winch operations pre use inspection is to ensure all winchcomponents and attachments are functioning properly and/or properly adjusted. Duringthis pre use inspection the operator shall perform an operational test by running the airtugger / winch slowly in each direction with no load and check the operation of eachattachment or option prior to application use.

For loads exceeding eighty percent (80%) of the air tugger capacity, a pre lift test shallbe performed and documented on the Air Tugger / Winch Pre Use Inspection Form.This test shall consist of the following:

The test load shall not be less than 110% of the rated load nor more than 125%of the rated load, unless otherwise recommended by the manufacture.

The test load shall be hoisted a vertical distance to assure that the load issupported by the air tugger(s) / winch(es) and held by the hoist brake(s).

The test load shall be lowered, stopped, and held with the brake(s).

Note: If a lift is to be used with a multiple number of air tuggers / winches, the test shallbe performed with all air tuggers / winches in operations at once. This pre lift test willhelp ensure winch anchors and supporting structure are secure and in good condition.In addition the following shall be observed and checked.

Ensuring air tugger / winch anchors and supporting structures are secure and in goodcondition:

Fasteners - Check retainer rings, split pins, cap screws, nuts and other fasteners

on winch, including mounting bolts. Replace if missing or damaged and tighten ifloose.

Foundation or supporting structure - Check for distortion, wear, rigidity andcontinued ability to support winch and rated load. Ensure winch is firmly mountedand that fasteners are in good condition and tight.

Ensuring air tugger / winch supply cables and hoses are in good condition andconnections are tight:

J1.12 

Failure of electric cables or their disconnection while power is supplied can resultin electrocution.

Failure of air or hydraulic hoses or their disconnection while pressurized canresult in hazardous situations including the whipping of hoses. To prevent thispotential hoses shall be connected with safety pins installed in crow feetconnects with the appropriately sized whip checks are installed

Keep clear of whipping hoses. Shut off the compressed air or hydraulic pressurebefore approaching the whipping hose.

Notify supervisory or maintenance personnel of any malfunction or damage.

Trained and authorized personnel must determine if repairs are required prior tooperating the winch.

Winch should never be operated with damaged wire rope, controls or guards.

Operating an Air Tugger / Winch

The following operating instructions have been adapted in part from American National(Safety) Standard ASME B30.7 and are intended to avoid unsafe operating practiceswhich might lead to injury or property damage. The four most important aspects ofwinch operation are:

Follow all safety instructions when operating winch.

 Allow only people trained in safety and operation of this winch to operate thisequipment. See Training section of this procedure.

Subject each winch to a regular inspection and maintenance program.

Be aware of winch capacity and weight of load at all times. Ensure load does notexceed winch, wire rope and rigging ratings.

CAUTION Note: If a problem is detected, immediately STOP operation and notify supervisor. DONOT continue operation until problem is corrected. 

During all air tugger / winch operations, the operator must be aware of load and its path.Load must have a free unobstructed path from pick up to set down. This awareness isto ensure that load does not contact any hazards. Some of the hazards to watch for andavoid are:

Guide wires, other load lines, strung hoses.

Personnel in the working or walking in the path of the lift or under the load as itmoves. To prevent this condition the travel area of the air tugger / winch ropeshall be barricade. Personnel shall NEVER be under or in the path of a movingload.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 564/961

 

J1.13 

 Air tugger / winch operations shall be shut down when winds exceed 25 miles perhour. No loads shall be lift suspended for any period of time.

If during the lift a load must be held suspended, the following shall be followed:

o  Operator shall not leave the controlso  If the load must remain suspended for a considerable time a pawl or other

equivalent means, rather the brake alone shall be used to hold the load.

Erratic control valve operation (can cause a sudden jerk on load which couldcreate an overload condition).

Removing all obstacle such as buildings, support members, another load, etcfrom the path to prevent the load from banging or hanging up on the obstacle.Should the obstacle be unable to be moved, a different plan and site evaluationshall be performed.

When multi-parting the load line, the two sheaves come together (also calledTwo-Blocking). 

During onshore operations, power lines, telephone lines and electrical cables.

During pulling (dragging) operations:

Watch for obstructions that could cause load to hang up, causing suddenuncontrolled load shift.

Direct foot and vehicle traffic to ensure they maintain a safe distance from theload path and load line. 

Additional Operating Procedures

When a “DO NOT OPERATE” sign is placed on the winch, or controls, do not operatethe winch until the sign has been removed by designated personnel.

Ensuring proper communication is established with the signal person. When theoperation does not allow for the operator to maintain visual contact on the lift at all times(i.e. Blind lift), the JSEA shall identify who is responsible for signaling the operator andidentifies the method of communications between signal person(s) and operator.

Keep hands, clothing, jewelry, etc. away from wire rope, drum and other moving parts.

Ensuring the operator operates the air tugger / winch with smooth control movements toprevent jerking or sudden movements of the load.

Ensure the load is not pulled into support structure or winch of the air tugger

Ensure wire rope hook end is not attached or connected (stowed) to an unmovablepoint prior to lift operation.

Immediately stop operation if load does not respond to air tugger / winch control.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 565/961

J1.14 

Ensure brake(s) hold prior to making complete lift by lifting load a short distance andreleasing control.

Ensuring the operator is able to maintain visual contact with the load, drum or wire ropeat all times. During a blind lift, the operator shall ensure an adequate number of signalpersons are identified, appropriately spaced / located, provided appropriate means tocommunicate effectively with each other and with the operator. This shall be

documented on the task JSEA.

Ensure all personnel involved in the air tugger / winch operations keep hands andclothing clear of gaps or spaces on winches, off of wire rope and away from sheaves orsnatch blocks.

Operating in Cold Weather

When operating an air tugger / winch in Cold weather, these operations can presentadditional hazards. At very cold temperatures metal can become brittle and the use ofthis piece of equipment requires extreme care to ensure that load movements are

smooth and even. The lubricating fluids do not flow as readily during cold temperaturesand every effort to warm all fluids and components before operation needs to occur forthe best performance. The warming of fluids can be accomplished by running the winchslowly in both directions with no load to initially lubricate components.

In addition to the equipment concerns, operators maybe wearing increased clothing.Their feel of controls, field of vision and hearing could be impaired due to the increasedclothing. To help minimize these effects the First Line Supervisor shall ensure thatadditional personnel and / or signal person are used to maintain a safe operation. 

Whenever temperature are below freezing, 32˚ F (0˚ C), extreme caution must be 

exercised to ensure that no part of product, supporting structure or rigging is shockloaded or impacted as brittle fracture of steel may result. 

Completion of Air Tugger / Winch Operations

 At the completion of air tugger / winch operation or when in a non-operational mode thefollowing actions shall occur:

Remove load from load line. Never maintain a load suspended in the air.

Spool load wire rope back onto winch drum and secure. For load lines over

sheaves or snatch blocks, the wire rope shall be secured in a position that willavoid a safety hazard in the area.

Turn off/shut off or disconnect power supply.

Secure winch against unauthorized and unwarranted use.

J1.15 

Air Tugger / Winch Brake

Brakes are of two basic types, band brake and disc brake. Disc brakes are internal andconnected to the drive train. They are automatically engaged, locking the drive train tothe winch frame, thereby stopping drum rotation when the control is released or placedin the neutral position.

External band brakes wrap around the drum. When applied, the brake band tightens on

the drum and a stop on the band brake contacts the frame of the winch to stop drumrotation. This tightening can be done two ways. Manually by a lever or wheel which theoperator controls or automatically. On automatic band brakes when the control is placedin the neutral position the band brake tightens, locking the drum.

Winches with a manual band brake require the operator to operate both winch controland band brake control simultaneously during operations. It is recommended thatowners/users practice operation of brake and winch control with lighter loads untilproficient with both functions.

When lowering loads near the winches rated load at very slow speeds, monitor the

temperature of the brake bands and/or brake housing. This load/speed combinationmay result in automatic brakes dragging, which could cause heat build up. Indicationsthat the heat build up on the brake is excessive are:

Housing surface temperatures in access of 120˚ C 

Visible indications of hot paint, such as blisters or scorching

The smell of hot oil or burning paint

Stop all operations any time a hot brake is detected.  

When operating a winch with a manual drum brake, ensure the brake is fully releasedwhen load is in motion. Use the control throttle to control the speed of the winch. Do notdrag the brake to control the winch speed. If the winch has only a manual drum brake(no automatic brakes), set the brake to stop winch motion.

Operators must pay careful attention to brake operation at all times. At any indication ofloss of braking ability operator must immediately cease operation, shut off power to thewinch and inform their supervisor. Some indications of brake problems are:

Brake bands or housings becoming very hot during operation. This is anindication of excessive slippage

 Abnormal sounds, such as grinding, coming from brake parts during activationof the brake. This is an indication of worn bands

Brake(s) do not hold load when winch control is in neutral

During operation it is necessary for the operator’s hand to be close to the drum when using a manual band brake. To minimize the possibility of contact:

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 567/961

J1.16 

Maintain a firm grip on brake lever handle and winch throttle control lever.

Ensure footing is clean, dry and firm.

Maintain a good comfortable posture, do not lean.

Ensure any loose clothing is tucked in or out of the way of the drum.

Ensure the band brake is correctly adjusted which will allow the operator to stopdrum rotation when the brake is fully engaged.

Use Winch Drum Guards which are available and recommended by themanufacturer for all air tugger / winch installations 

Disengaging Clutch

Clutches are used to disengage the drum from the drive train, which allows wire rope to“free spool” from the drum. When the drum is in the  “free spool” mode, use of the band

brake to control wire rope payout is required to prevent the loosening of wraps on thedrum. After wire rope is out and connected to load, the operator should engage thedrum and slowly apply tension to wire rope.  

On winches with a clutch “free  spool” option, wire rope should spool from drum with minimal effort. When pulling wire rope from drum in the “free spool” mode, do not strainor lose balance and always look where you’re going to avoid tripping.

Note: To prevent load control loss, do not disengage the clutch when there is a load onthe air tugger / winch.

Spooling and Handling of Wire Rope

The most important part of wire rope spooling is attaching wire rope to the drum.Different methods are used to fasten the wire rope to the drum. The individuals spoolingthe wire rope shall refer to the Manufacture’s Product Information Manuals for thespecific method. Note: Failure to match wire rope diameter with the correct wire ropeanchor hardware can cause wire rope to release from drum and drop the load.

Prior to the staring the spooling operations the individual performing this installationshall ensure all non-essential individuals are kept away from this operations. This shallbe accomplished by barricading the area with Red Barricade Tape around thisoperation. Note:  Spooling of an air tugger / winch shall not occur offshore unlessdetermined as an emergency situation by the Offshore Operations Manager.

The individuals spooling the wire rope shall ensure the anchor pocket guard is installedwhen provided with the winch. This individual shall check to ensure the wire rope lengthis sufficient for the task meaning the length for the entire range of movement specifiedfor the application, with no less than three (3) full wraps of rope on the drum at all times,does not exceed the top layer diameter and is approved for the application. At no timeshall anyone be allowed to add additional wire rope to the established length to extendthe length of the air tugger / winch wire rope. All ends of the air tugger / winch wire ropewill be required to have a manufactured eye.

J1.17 

Only factory approved hardware shall be used to attach wire rope to drum. Wheninitially spooling wire rope onto the winch drum make certain that it bends in the samedirection. The proper method of spooling an air tugger / winch is to re-reel from the topof one reel to the top of another, or from the bottom of one reel to the bottom of another.It is also necessary to apply a tensioning load to the wire rope to achieve good spooling.

A. Correct; B. Over wound; C. Winch Drum; D. Wire Rope Spooling; E. Spool;F. Under wound; G. Incorrect.

Note: Always use gloves, or suitable hand protection when handling wire rope.

When installing new wire rope it is important that all wraps of the first layer are tight onthe drum and adjoining the previous wrap. Open or wavy winding will result in wire ropedamage when multiple layers are used. Adjacent turns should be tight against eachother. If gaps occur between wraps, STOP air tugger / winch and tap wire rope with a

composite or wooden mallet, so that the strands are snug but not interlocked. Do notrestart drum rotation until everyone is clear. The succeeding layers of wire rope shouldwind across the preceding layer of wire rope without gaping or bunching. Ensure thatthe correct length of wire rope is fitted. This is particularly important as it may benecessary to fit specific lengths of wire rope for particular applications and wire ropereeving combinations. The installer shall watch for the following conditions:

Too short of a wire rope could result in the wire rope completely paying out andthe wire rope anchorage on the drum having to carry the full load.

J1.18 

Too long a wire rope could exceed the drum’s spooling capacity, causing the  wirerope to ride over the drum flange resulting in the load dropping, severe damage,wire rope crushing or complete winch failure.

It is good practice to check the wire rope length whenever the structure is changed, wirerope is changed or reeving altered. To be certain that wire rope spools evenly on drumuse a spooling device to keep tension on wire rope, approximately 10% of the workingload is recommended. Maintain a fleet angle between the lead sheave and winch of nomore then 1-1/2˚. A  2˚ fleet angle is allowable with grooved drums. Exceeding thespecified fleet angle can cause excessive friction, leading to heat build up or sparks.The lead sheave must be on a center line with the drum, and for every inch (25 mm) ofdrum length, be at least 1.6 ft (0.5 m) from the drum. See the diagram below:

A. Sheave; B. Fleet Angle; C. Drum Flange.

The entire length of wire rope should be wound on the drum tightly and correctly as thiswill facilitate good winding during operation. Poor or incorrect spooling can:

Shorten wire rope life cause erratic winch operation.

Cause wire rope to drop.

Cause wire rope to bunch.

Be less than distance to flange dimension.

J1.19 

A. Sheave Flange and Wire Rope Wear; B. Wire Rope Wear; C. Wire Rope Wound tootightly compressed; D. Uneven Spooling Bunched Wire Rope; E. or; F. When the Fleet

 Angle is too small the Result is Poor Winding.

The spooling area shall be clean and free of debris and care shall be taken to ensurethat the wire rope is clean and properly lubricated as it is spooled onto drum. The Wirerope shall not be allowed to drag or touch the ground during spooling. Prior to thespooling of the wire rope, an inspection shall be performed of the wire rope andcarefully as the wire rope is being spooled onto drum. The individual installing the wirerope shall watch for broken or loose strands or other signs of damage or unserviceablewire rope.

Note: Use of wire rope sizes other than recommended will greatly decrease the life ofthe wire rope.CAUTION

J1.20 

Upon completion of spooling and prior to final installation, the individual spooling thewire rope shall secure the rope to drum. The securing of the wire rope will prevent wirerope from loosening on the drum.

Grooved drums are designed with the correct groove pitch and depth for one diameterof wire rope. To determine the proper wire rope size the individual spooling the airtugger / winch shall refer to the Manufacture’s Product Information Manuals. Should thewire rope size and grooved drum do not match, the individual spooling the air tugger /

winch shall notify his First Line Supervisor immediately so either the drum or wire ropecan be replace with the correct size. Remember the use of the wrong diameter wirerope on a grooved drum will cause improper spooling of the first layer and it will alsocause excessive wear, damage, erratic operation and shortened life of the wire rope.

Winches without grooved drums are designed for a range of wire rope sizes. Theindividual spooling the air tugger / winch shall refer to the Manufacture’s ProductInformation Manuals for the specific range. The use of a wire rope with a largerdiameter than specified will result in decreased life of the wire rope and can causedamage to the internal wire rope strands, which cannot be seen with a visual inspection.

The diagram below illustrates the correct manner to spool wire rope onto the air tugger /winch drum.

A. Correct Spooling; B. Distance to Flange; C. Even, Tight Wraps on Drum.

Remember when spooling is complete the wire rope should:

Be tight on each layer.

Have single even layers.

Not be bunched.

Not exceed distance to flange dimension (as specified in the Manufacture’s Product Information Manuals).

Some examples of problems encountered during any entrymay include:

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 593/961

 

J3.12

The unauthorized entry of a confined space.

 A hazard not covered by the Confined Space Permit

 An incident within the Confined Space or that affected the Confined Space.

The Safety, Health and Environmental Department will review all cancelled permits

for any problems that had been encountered during the entry. The Confined SpaceProgram shall be revised to address any problems that occurred during the entry. Allcancelled permits will be retained for 1 year and at a minimum shall be reviewedannually.

Personal Protective Equipment / Non Entry Rescue

Suitable personal protective equipment must be worn when entering a confinedspace. Although the equipment can vary depending on the assigned work, it mayinclude:

Self contained respiratory equipment

 Acid or caustic resistant apparel i.e. slicker suits

Suitable hand protection

Eye and face protection

Head protection

Hearing protection

Respiratory protection equipment shall have NIOSH Approval for the application.

Fall Protection & Rescue Retrieval equipment  shall meet the applicable ANSIStandards for the application. 

 A full body harness with lifelines attached may be required for those who enter theconfined space. If a lifeline is not required for those entering and if entry is fromabove or through a manway, a lifeline must be immediately available to the standbyemployee.

Each authorized entrant using a full body harness must have a retrieval line attachedat the center of the entrant’s back near shoulder level, or above the entrant’s head.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 594/961

 

J3. 13

Wristlets may be used in lieu of the full body harness, for horizontal entry, if the useof a full body harness is infeasible or creates a greater hazard and that the use ofwristlets is the safest and most effective alternative.

The other end of the retrieval line must be attached to a mechanical device or fixedpoint outside the permit space in such a manner that rescue can begin as soon asthe rescuer becomes aware that rescue is necessary. A mechanical device must be

available to retrieve personnel from vertical type permit spaces more than five (5) feetdeep.

Ventilation

General ventilation should be by exhausting from the confined space and dischargingto the outside.

Ventilation equipment should be placed at the top or bottom of the confined spacebased on the risk/nuisance factors to be encountered. For example, if the risk factorsare represented by lighter than air gases such as hydrogen (H2) or natural gas

(methane), the air mover must be near the top of the confined space where thesegases will rise. In all other circumstances, the air mover should be at the bottom ofthe confined space.

The inlet for ventilation air must be at a position upwind from the air mover to avoidshort circulating which defeats the purpose of ventilation, and away from dieselengines, etc., such as welding machines.

 A positive means of ventilating the vessel or space must be established and operatedthe entire time work is in progress. The accepted practice and the recommendedlevel for general ventilation is one complete air change every three (3) minutes. In

some cases natural may be sufficient. In other cases it may be necessary to usefans or air movers. The ventilation system must be arranged so that only clean, freshair is drawn into the vessel. Ventilation systems should be bonded to the space orvessel.

If air operated horns are used to ventilate a space they must exhaust outside thespace, not inside. Air horns may only be operated by clean fresh air. Nitrogen,oxygen or other gases are hazardous and may not be used.

Whenever welding, cutting, burning or brazing is performed in a confined space, localexhaust ventilation may be necessary to "capture" contaminants or fumes at the

source (the point of operation) and remove them from the atmosphere within theconfined space. The exhaust air mover must be outside the Confined Space and aflexible hose/duct connected to it and extending to the point of operation. Hot WorkPermits are required before performing these operations in Confined Spaces. Note:The LEL during Hot Work shall be and remain at Zero during this type operation.

Specific Requirements

Compressed gas bottles (acetylene, oxygen, argon, nitrogen, air, etc.) must not bebrought into a confined space. Anytime work is suspended, welding leads andhoses must be removed from the confined space. This is to prevent leakage into the

J3.14

space, which would compromise the atmosphere, and to reduce the risk of anexplosive release into a small area where its effects would be greatly concentrated.

When painting, welding, burning, applying coatings, or doing anything, which mightgenerate gases, vapors or fumes, adequate ventilation and respiratory protectionmust be used. It should also be noted that coatings may cause a fire hazard.

Pneumatic tools should be used whenever possible to reduce the hazard of electricalshock and ignition sources. Pneumatic tools may only be operated with air. The useof nitrogen, oxygen, or other gas is prohibited.

Portable electric tools, lights and equipment operated in areas where there is apotential for flammable or combustible atmospheres to be present or accumulateshall be of industrial grade, in good condition and UL listed or FM approved asIntrinsically Safe or Approved for use in Hazardous (electrically classified) locations.Portable electric tools, lights and equipment used in Confined Spaces shall be ofindustrial grade, in good condition, operated at a maximum of 110 volts AC andconnected to a ground fault circuit interrupter, or be operated at no more than 12

volts DC.

When performing hot-work inside of vessels which contained a flammable orcombustible product, the following steps must be taken with written verification inaddition to all other confined space requirements to ensure vessel is safe for hotwork:

Ensure vessel is properly isolated, locked out and blinded with skillets.

Vessel needs to be cleaned of all hydrocarbons.

Once all hydrocarbons have been removed from the vessel, the vessel needs

to be closed off in preparation for steam cleaning.

 A valve should be cracked open to drain liquids produced during the steamcleaning process.

Steam cleaning equipment needs to be setup and grounded. The purpose ofsteaming the vessel is to get the vessel hot enough so the pores of the metalopen up and the potential gases in the metal is released.

The vessel needs to be brought to an inside temperature of 120deg F.Depending on the size of the vessel, this could take several hours. A

temperature stick or thermal gun will be utilized to verify the internaltemperature has reached 120deg F. The vessel must continue to steam for 2hours at a temperature of 120deg F.

 After steam cleaning has been completed, the equipment needs to be turnedoff and removed from the vessel.

The vessel should be opened up and ventilated, then verify LEL with aportable gas meter by a Confined Space Competent Person.

Rescue Services

Emergency notification, response and rescue plans must be made in advance. TheRescue Plan will be documented on the Pre-Entry Checklist and Hazard Assessment(See Attachment 1). If special equipment is needed such as, scoop stretches, safetyharnesses, retrieval lines, life lines, self contained breathing equipment, etc., it shouldbe made ready for immediate use. All rescue equipment shall be inspected by a

competent person prior to each entry. This will be documented on the Pre-EntryChecklist and Hazard Assessment. If there is a reasonable chance that lifethreatening incidents (asphyxiation or severe bleeding) may occur, an onsite rescueteam may be needed.

If the facility / site plans to use an offsite rescue team, facility / site management mustevaluate the capabilities of the response group to assure their response times areappropriate for the hazards. Agreement with offsite rescue teams should bedocumented and updated at least annually. 

The rescue team shall be given the opportunity to evaluate the entry site, practice

rescue and decline as appropriate.

The rescue team shall have at least one person with a current First Aid / CPRcertification.

The members of the rescue team shall be provided all training and personalprotective equipment at no cost to them to safely perform a rescue.

Non-Permit Required Confined Spaces

To be classified as a "Non-Permit Required Confined Space" the Confined Space

must not  have conditions which are, or could reasonably become, "ImmediatelyDangerous to Life or Health" (IDLH). Examples of "Non-Permit Required Spaces"might include, but not necessarily be limited to:

Pits less than four (4) feet in depth

Heating, ventilating or air conditioning (HVAC) plenums designed to beentered for servicing

Manholes or large diameter pipe that have very low or no potential for ahazardous atmosphere to develop.

Non-Permit Required Confined Space work should be conducted as work in regularwork areas. However, personnel should consider if:

There have been changes in the Confined Space since it was determined tobe a "Non-Permit Required Confined Space".

The work planned could cause Confined Space to become "ImmediatelyDangerous to Life or Health" (IDLH).

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 597/961

 

J3.16

Other work being performed in the area of the "Non-Permit Required ConfinedSpace" could cause it to become "Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health"(IDLH).

If any of the above apply, the Non-Permit Required Confined Space should betreated as a Permit Required Confined Space. If there is any question about theclassification, stop and check with your supervisor.

Pipe Fabrication and Confined Space Classification

The fabrication of pipe or other equipment may create a permit required space atsome point in the fabrication process. If, during the fabrication of equipment, theconfined space becomes difficult to enter or exit or could be subject to a hazardousenvironment, the Facility Manager, a Safety, Health, Environmental DepartmentRepresentative, Yard Foreman, and the First Line Supervisor will decide if specialprecautions and / or a permit is required. If all individuals involved cannot agree, thespace must be classified as Permit Required.

Training

Confined Space Entry training will be performed so that all employees acquire theunderstanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of theirassigned duties within the confined space entry process.

Training shall be performed to each affected employee on the following intervals:

Before the employee is first assigned duties under this program;

Before there is a change in assigned duties;

Whenever there is a change in permit space operations that presents a hazardabout which an employee has not previously been trained;

Whenever there is reason to believe either there have been a deviation fromthe permit space entry procedures or that there are inadequacies in theemployee's knowledge or use of these procedures.

Training of affected employees shall establish the employee proficiency in their dutieswithin this program and shall introduce new or revised procedures as necessary.

The employee training shall be certified that the training has been accomplished byproviding the following information within the employees training records:

J4.6 

Inspection Records 

Certification records, which include the date of inspection, the signature of the person whoperformed the inspection and the serial number or other identifier of the crane, which wasinspected, shall be made daily. The daily (pre-use) shall be maintained for 1 calendarquarter (see Attachment 2) and the periodic inspections shall be maintained readily for 3years.

Inspection Program

The following reflects the requirements of OSHA 1910.179(j) and (m) and constitutesminimum inspection requirements. Prior to initial use all new and modified cranes musthave an initial inspection to ensure they are in good condition and safe for use.

Inspection procedure for cranes in regular service is divided into two general classificationsbased upon the intervals at which inspection should be performed. The intervals aredependent upon the nature of the critical components of the crane and the degree of theirexposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The two classifications are designated withrespective intervals between inspections as:

Frequent inspection -- Daily to monthly intervals.

Periodic inspection -- 1 to 12 month intervals.

Note: Should either of the above mentioned inspection indicates the need for anondestructive type of testing of the crane hook, the use of outside firm to perform the non-destructive testing of Dynamic’s equipment requires written proof that technicians arecertified to the latest requirements of the Society for Non-Destructive Testing and that theirinspection equipment was calibrated prior to the inspection itself.

Frequent Inspections

The following items must be inspected for defects at daily to monthly intervals or asspecifically indicated. This must include observation during operation for any defects whichmight appear between regular inspections. All deficiencies must be carefully examined anda determination made as to whether they constitute a safety hazard.

 All functional operating mechanisms for maladjustment interfering with properoperation.

Deterioration or leakage in lines, tanks, valves, drain pumps, and other parts of air or

hydraulic systems.

Hooks with deformation or cracks. Visual inspection with a certification record whichincludes the date of inspection, the signature of the inspector, and the serial number,or other identifier, of the hook inspected. Hooks with cracks, or those having morethan 15 percent in excess of normal throat opening or more than 10 degrees twistfrom the plane of the unbent hook must be discarded.

Hook safety latch/wire in undamaged and functional.

 All functional operating mechanisms for excessive wear of components. 

Wire rope reeving for noncompliance with manufacturer's recommendations.

Spreader bars must be checked for mechanical integrity to locate cracks, bends,deformations, connecting devices, etc. If any deficiencies are found, they need to becorrected before operation is started. The deficiencies and corrective actions shallbe documented and maintained for 1 calendar quarter at the facility.

Periodic Inspections

Complete inspections of the crane should be performed at one to twelve month intervals,

depending upon its activity, severity of service, environment, or as specifically indicatedbelow. These inspections must also include the following items.   Any deficiencies must becarefully examined and determination made as to whether they constitute a safety hazard.

Deformed, cracked or corroded members.

Loose bolts or rivets.

Cracked or worn sheaves and drums.

Worn, cracked or distorted parts such as pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers,locking and clamping devices.

Severe kinking, crushing, cutting, or unstranding.

 All rope and choker cables, which have been idle for a period of a month or more due toshutdown or storage of a crane on which it is installed, must be given a thorough inspectionbefore it is used. This inspection must be for all types of deterioration and must beperformed by an appointed or authorized person whose approval is required for further useof the rope. A certification record must be available for inspection, which includes the dateof inspection, the signature of the inspector and an identifier for the rope, which wasinspected.

J4.9 

If any deficiencies are found, they need to be corrected before operation is started. Thedeficiencies and corrective actions shall be documented and maintained for 1 calendarquarter at the facility.

Preventive Maintenance Program

 A preventive maintenance program based on the crane manufacturer's recommendationsmust be established by Maintenance Services. Records of the preventive maintenanceinspections must be kept for the life of the equipment.

 Adjustments and repairs on a crane and other lifting equipment must include the followingprecautions:

The lifting equipment to be repaired must be run to a location where it will cause theleast interference with other equipment and operations in the area.

Where other lifting devices or equipment are in operation on the same runway, rail

stops or other suitable means must be provided to prevent interference with the idlecrane.

Safe Operating Practices for Mobile Cranes

Cranes are carefully designed, tested and manufactured. When used properly by qualifiedoperators, they will give safe, reliable service.

Because cranes have the ability to lift heavy loads to great heights, they also have apotential for accidents if safe operating practices are not followed. This section will helpyou prevent accidents which could result in injury, death or property damage.

General safe practices for working on machinery must be followed as well as the safeoperating practices recommended here.

Safety devices installed on any crane shall not be over ridden. Should a safety deviceneed to be over ridden to perform a lift safely, this lift must be approved by FacilityManagement. A specific JSEA shall be developed for this lift which shall include a spotter.First line Supervision and a SH&E Representative shall be present during this lift.

Safety device shall not be over ridden for any lift involving the lifting of personnel.

Each crane shall have a dry chemical fire extinguisher located in the crane cab.

Crane’s swing radius shall be barricaded to prevent employees and equipment access intothe area of the swing radius.

No loading or unloading of equipment and/or material is allowed after normal working hourswithout Management's approval.

J4.10 

Whenever internal combustion engine exhausts in enclosed spaces, tests shall be madeand recorded to see that employees are not exposed to unsafe concentrations of toxicgases or oxygen deficient atmospheres.

Planning the Job

Most accidents can be avoided by careful job planning. The person in charge must have aclear understanding of the work to be done, consider all dangers at the jobsite, develop a

plan to do the job safely (i.e. Job Safety and Environmental Analysis), and then explain theplan to all involved in the crane operation. Factors such as these should be considered:

What crewmembers are needed and what responsibilities will they be given?

What is the weight of the load to be lifted, the lift radius, boom angle and the ratedcapacity of the crane?

How will the signalman communicate with the operator?

What equipment is required to do the job safely?

How can the equipment be safely transported to the jobsite?

Is the crane safe to mount and dismount using the handholds and steps provided bythe crane manufacturers?

 Are there power lines or structures, which must be moved or avoided?

How will loads be rigged?

What special safety precautions will be taken if the crane must travel with asuspended load or if more than one crane is needed to lift a load?

 Are unusual weather conditions such as wind or extreme cold weather expected?

What steps will be taken to keep unnecessary people and equipment safely awayfrom the work area? Is barricade tape needed to identify hazards and the work area?

How can cranes be positioned to use the shortest boom and radius possible?

Note: A crane lift plan shall be utilized for lifts greater than 50% of the crane's rated

capacity, if two are more cranes are used or if other conditions warrant a critical lift.

Operating Precautions

Only qualified and properly designated operators shall operate the machine. The operatorneeds to know the location and purpose of all controls, instruments, indicator lights andlabels. An operator also needs to comprehend load chart notes and accurately calculate amachine’s load handling capacity.

J4.11 

General Operation

The engine should not be started if the main, auxiliary hoist and/or swing are released. Always warm up the engine and hydraulic system before attempting to operate themachine. Watch all instrument readings, if readings are not correct stop the engine andfind cause.

 Avoid sudden applications of all controls, particularly at start and end of each operation.

Propel with engine rpm’s around ―medium position‖. 

Avoid Power Lines

 Always survey the work area to determine whether there are power lines in the area.OSHA regulations require at least ten (10) feet clearance from lines carrying up to 50,000volts. Greater clearances are required for lines with higher voltages. All overhead powerlines shall be considered energized unless verified and indicated by the utility companyowning the line that it has been de-energized and grounded. Some states require that you

stay as far as possible from power lines and never violate minimum clearances. In theState of Louisiana, we must notify the owner of the electrical line within 48 hours of ouroperation. The power company must determine if line will be deenergized or other meanswill be put in place.

 Always take these precautions if power lines are present:

Warn people to stay away from the machine and load at all times. An observer should beplaced to ensure the radius of the crane, maintains the appropriate clearance from theenergized lines. If the load must be guided into place, ask the Power Company about

special precautions such as insulated poles or hot sticks.

Warning: Careful planning and supervision offer better protection than any known device.Insulated boom cages, proximity devices, and insulating links have limitations and can failwithout warning. Insulated boom cages and links only protect part of the crane, and canbreak down electrically when contaminated with dust and water. Operation of proximity,warning devices can be affected by the different arrangement of multiple power lines, themovement of trucks, materials, the crane itself, and other influences. Relying completelyon these devices could be dangerous because operators may think they are providing

 protection when in fact they are not.

During Operation

Foot pedal brake locks are furnished on some cranes to allow the operator to resthis legs when suspending the load for short periods of time. Keep your feet on thepedals while foot pedal brake locks are in use. Brakes may cool, if not leaked downproperly, allowing the load to fall.

When you operate the crane, do not let another person on the machine.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 627/961

J4.12 

When you get on or off the crane, use handrails and steps. Start the engine only in awell-ventilated area.

Before you move the boom, swing, travel or hoist ensure all persons are away fromthe load area.

Trying to repair or adjust equipment with a suspended hook or load or with the boomraised could release machinery and let it move unexpectedly. Always lower the load

to the ground and the boom onto proper cribbing before doing maintenance or repairwork.

Leaving a machine unattended can be very dangerous. Never leave the operator’scab with the engine running or with the load suspended. Before leaving his or hersseat, the operator shall take the following steps to prevent his machine from moving:

Lower the load to the ground.

Lower the boom when necessary.

Set the swing brake or lock.

Set all drum pawls.

Set parking brakes and shut off engine.

Suspended Loads

 An Operator shall avoid swinging a load over personnel and not allow them to work or walkunder any part of machine or load.

 A warning signal shall be sounded when approaching personnel.

 Apply hoist brake, drum pawls and swing brake if the engine stalls during operation.

Pick and Carry

Load ratings for cranes are based on the machine being stationary and level. Traveling acrane with a suspended load or with the boom erected involves special hazards, includingthe possibility of side loading or tipping over.

Because of the many variables involved in pick and carry operations, the user must

evaluate conditions and take precautions such as these:

Check the load chart and notes for limitations.

Position the boom in line with the direction of travel.

Reduce the maximum load while traveling to reflect operating conditions. The safeload will vary depending on speed, crane, terrain and other conditions.

Travel slowly and avoid sudden stops and starts.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 628/961

 

J4.13 

 Avoid backing away from the load. This could increase the radius and cause themachine to tip over.

Use tag lines to keep loads under control.

Keep the load close to the ground while using the shortest boom possible.

Move Crane Safely

Before you move a crawler or wagon crane; find out which way to move propel levers

for the direction you want to go. If the propel motors are in front of the cab, pull thepropel levers back to move forward.

When traveling:

Do not travel near the edge of a ditch, gully or excavation.

Travel carefully where room is limited, over rough ground and on slopes.

Use a signal person.

Know your machine height, width and weight.

Know bridge load limits and do not exceed them.

Be sure of tail swing clearance in a narrow spot.

Control travel speed for safely moving and ensure ball or block is secure.

Park Safely

Before the operator leaves the cab ensure the following is conducted:

Lower the load to ground and apply the brakes.

Put control levers in neutral position.

Shut off engine.

Never park on an incline with out carefully blocking the machine to preventmovement.

Do not leave it where there is a chance of a bank caving in or a low spot where rainsmay wash out the footing.

Take the engine key and the cab door key with you.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

J4.14 

 Always dismount facing the crane using handholds and step provided by youremployer or crane manufacturer.

Offshore Cranes

 A qualified operator (API RP 2d qualified) shall conduct all offshore crane operations. Allcrane operations shall be conducted in a safe manner. At a minimum this shall include thefollowing:

The operator will perform a Pre-Use Inspection.

The crane operator will become familiar with the load in respect to it’s weight andconfiguration including all special rigging used to lift it prior to making the lift.

When determining if the fast line can be used for a lift, identify from the load chartthe dynamic lifting capacity of the crane (fast line) at the lowest proposed lift angle orlongest radius. If the lift is within 10% of this dynamic lifting capacity the fast lineshall not be used.

The crane shall not be overloaded.

Loads shall not be moved over personnel.

 All personnel involved in the lifting operations shall develop and review a Job Safetyand Environmental Analysis to clearly communicate the lifting operation. Allpersonnel must be clear of the load before it is lifted or moved.

Crane lifting operations may not begin until the crane operator has designated onequalified signal person for all areas where the crane operator's vision is, or will be,obstructed during any part of the lift. The crane operator and the signal person(s)must maintain direct communication with each other throughout their portion of thelift either visually or by radio. Examples of situations requiring two signal personswould include lifts from one deck to another deck (if the signal person from one deckremained on that deck) and lifts to and from boats.

The crane operator shall respond to signals only from the designated signalperson(s), but shall obey any "STOP" signal from anyone whenever it is given. If astop signal is given, crane operations shall cease until the appropriate designatedsignal person verifies that it is safe to resume operations. When it is safe to resumeoperations, the appropriate designated signal person shall communicate that fact tothe crane operator.

When helicopter approaches a facility, the crane boom shall be swung away fromthe heliport, the swing lock shall be engaged, and the crane operator shall step outof the cab of the crane. Pilots have been instructed not to land if anyone is in acrane cab. If a lift is in progress, the lift should be completed before the crane issecured.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 630/961

 

J4.15 

Due to potential safety hazards, the crane boom shall be properly cradled under thefollowing conditions: severe weather, high winds, and periods of infrequent use(defined as: several hours, not days) especially at night.

On lifting, the load hook shall be positioned directly over the load to avoid a sidethrust on the boom and to prevent the load from swinging. The swing brake shouldbe unlocked at this time to allow the boom to track the load.

The crane shall not be used in a manner that might result in shock loading (forexample, pulling up grating that is still welded to the platform).

Safety devices installed on any crane shall not be over ridden. Should a safetydevice need to be over ridden to perform a lift safely, this lift must be approved byOffshore Management. A specific JSEA shall be developed for this lift which shallinclude a spotter. First line Supervision and a SH&E Representative shall bepresent during this lift.

Safety device shall not be over ridden for any lift involving the lifting of personnel.

Personnel Transfer

 A personnel basket will be used for all offshore transfers between a facility and aboat whenever the crane is used to make the transfer.

Only properly designed workbaskets shall be used as work platforms orworkstations. Personnel baskets are not designed for this purpose and shall not beused as such.

Crane hooks used to lift personnel baskets will have a positive locking device (not aspring loaded flap or clip)

 All shackles incorporated in a Personnel Basket lifting configuration will be tight andwire locked.

Personnel lifts to and from a motor vessel shall be swung over water wheneverpossible.

 All personnel being transferred over water must wear an approved life preserver thatis properly donned.

 A maximum of four (4) personnel are permitted to ride in the personnel basket at atime.

Personnel riding on the personnel basket shall ride on the outside of the basket,facing inward, with their arms locked around the netting.

Personnel baskets will be equipped with tag lines free of knots.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 631/961

J4.16 

Cargo other than personal hand luggage and small supplies and equipment will notbe transferred with the personnel basket. Cargo must not overhang the edge of thepersonnel basket.

 All personnel baskets will have a safety "shock" load strap.

Cranes shall not be used to raise or lower personnel into or out of tanks or otherproduction vessels. Only properly designed personnel hoisting equipment shall be

used for this purpose.

Personnel are not allowed to ride on the following: any load, slings, cables,"headache" ball (connected to the whip line or fast line), nor the load block.

 All personnel lifts shall be under power control both up and down.

Offshore Operator Training Requirements

New Hire

 All employees being hired to operate an offshore crane must contain and present acurrent certification for the type of crane they are being hired to operate.

Upon successful completion of Dynamic Industries, Inc. New Hire Process (i.e. medicalsurveillance, etc.) and our New Employee Hire Process and New Employee Orientation /SH&E Training, this new operator must obtain a new API RP 2d offshore pedestal cranecertificate from Dynamic Industries, Inc. This training / certification shall be performed by arecognized Third Party Training Company. The training shall meet all requirements of thelast edition of API RP 2d and shall be performed at a minimum every 4 years.

Current Employees

 All employees who are or being promoted to an offshore crane operator status shall bemedically cleared prior to receiving their API RP 2d training / certificate. This training /certification shall be performed by a recognized Third Party Training Company. Thetraining shall meet all requirements of the last edition of API RP 2d.

Note:  If the operator does not maintain and present documentation of a current operatorcertification, local Management and the SH&E Department will need to discuss anapprenticeship program for this operator prior to allowing them to operate for DynamicIndustries, Inc.. 

Overhead Cranes

Before operating the crane, the crane operator should carefully read and study theoperation manual supplied by the Crane manufacturer and note any special instructions notgiven previously by the proper instructor or supervisor.

With the mainline switch open (power off) the crane operator should operate each masterswitch or push button in both directions so as to get the ―feel‖ of each device and also to

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 632/961

 

J4.17 

determine that they do not bind or stick in any position. If any of them do, before doinganything else, the operator should report the condition to the proper supervisor.

Overhead Cranes Operator Qualifications

Crane operation, requires skill, the exercise of extreme care and good judgment, alertness

and concentration. No individual shall be permitted to operate an overhead crane if theirsupervisor has not designated them. The supervisor shall ensure the individual meets thefollowing criteria’s: 

One who can speak the appropriate language or read and understand the printedinstructions;

One who is of legal age to operate this type of equipment;

Whose hearing or eyesight is not impaired, or suitably corrected, with good depthperception;

The operator has carefully read and studied the operation manual supplied by theCrane Manufacturer;

The operator has been properly trained;

The operator has demonstrated his instructions through practical operation;

The operator is familiar with hitching equipment and practices.

Operator Responsibility

The crane operator should be held directly responsible for the safe operation of the crane.Whenever there is any doubts as to safety, the crane operator should stop the crane andrefuse to handle loads until:

Safety has been assured.

The operator shall not permit anyone to ride on the hook or the load.

Learning the Controls

Having observed the feel of the controllers, the crane operator is now ready to try the cranewith power applied.

 After checking to be sure no one is on or near the crane, close the crane disconnectingmeans and press the ―ON‖ or ―RESET‖ button so that the power is ―ON‖.  

Try the hoisting motion first. The hook should be in an intermediate position. Move themaster or push button slowly in the ―up‖ direction or press the ―UP‖ button in the pendant in

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 633/961

J4.18 

the same manner. The resultant movement should correspond with master switch or pushbutton markings for all motions. Observe the speed increase in relation to the steps in thecontroller. Try to feel the steps in a pendant-type controller. Move the hook to a positionnear   the upper hook position and slowly inch the hook into the upper limit stop position.The limit switch should cause the hoisting motion to stop at the upper limit of travel. If anymalfunction of either the hoist brake or the limit switch is suspected, this condition shouldbe reported to the supervisor before proceeding. The hoist limit switch should never beused as an operating control for stopping the load. It is to be considered as an emergency

limit switch only.

Repeat this procedure with the trolley controller. If the trolley is not equipped with a brake,note how it can be stopped by momentarily operating the control in the first point of thereverse direction. This is known as ―plugging.‖ Next try the bridge motion, first makingsure that the first movement is in the direction the bridge is free to travel. Check thestopping of the bridge by means of the brake and by plugging.

Good operators should always remember and follow four simple rules:

Start all motions slowly, by moving the controller handle or push button step by step

until the fastest safe speed is reached.

Stop slowly, by bringing the master switch or push button to the ―off‖ position step bystep so as to minimize ―swinging‖ of the load and unnecessary wear of the brakes.  

Learn to judge the drift of each motion of the crane after power is removed. Properuse of this drift will facilitate spotting of the load and minimize wear of cranecomponents.

Handle the load in a safe manner with the area free of personnel and otherobstructions.

Handling the Bridge Travel Motion

Before using the trolley or bridge of the crane, the operator should be sure the hook is highenough to clear any obstruction. Before a load is handled by the crane, the bridge shouldbe brought in position so that it is directly over the load. Otherwise it will be impossible to―spot‖ the trolley and hoist hook over the load. 

In addition to other operating controls, the bridge has a brake, usually operated by a footpedal in the cab or an electric brake where push button floor control is used. The purposeof this brake is to permit stopping the bridge exactly where desired. After the operator has

learned the distance that the bridge travels after power is removed, the operator should beable to judge distances so that the need to use the bridge brake will be greatly reduced.On floor-controlled cranes, the electric brake will set automatically when the push button isreleased.

Handling the Trolley Travel Motion 

Before a load is handled, the hoist should be brought directly over the load that is to behandled. When the slack is taken out of the slings, if the hoist is not directly over the load,

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 634/961

 

J4.19 

bring it directly over the load before hoisting is continued. Failure to center the hoist overthe load may cause the load to swing upon lifting.

If the trolley is equipped with a brake, follow the instructions given for controlling the bridge.

If the trolley is not equipped with a brake, this motion may require more skillful handlingthan any other motion of the crane. As the operator becomes familiar with the crane, he

can gauge the amount of ―drift‖ and allow for it. This will eliminate the necessity of quicklyreversing power to the trolley motor to bring the trolley to a stop.

 Always start the trolley motion slowly and reduce the trolley speed gradually. For veryslight trolley movements, follow the practice of ―inching‖ as described in ―Handling theBridge Travel Motion.‖ 

Handling the Hoist Motion

 After the hook has been brought over the load, lower it until the load can be attached to thehook. As the hook approaches this level, reduce the speed so that the lowering can be

stopped smoothly and quickly.

If load slings are used to handle the load, the slings should be fully seated in the saddle ofthe hook. With the hook latch closed (if equipped with hook latch), the hook should bestarted upward slowly until all slack has been taken out of the slings. Then the load shouldbe lifted slowly until it is clear and it has been determined that the load is properly balancedand the slings properly placed. The hoisting speed may then be increased and maintaineduntil the load is clear of all obstructions or if a hitcher gives the signal to stop.

Housekeeping

Good housekeeping should be maintained at all times. The crane operator should keep thecrane cab and access or pendent controls clear and clean. Do not permit loose objectssuch as tools, bolts, boards, etc. around the cab or on the crane because they represent asafety hazard.

Inspection

Test all controls on the crane at the beginning of each shift. Be sure the limit switchers,brakes, ropes, hooks and other protective devices are in good working order. Check cranefor such things as proper functioning of all controls, and check for loose or damaged parts.

Weekly the hook of the overhead crane shall be inspected (see Attachment 4 or Hazard Assessment Checklist (Shop)).

Note: Should the above mentioned inspection indicate the need for a nondestructive type oftesting of the crane hook. The use of outside firm to perform the non-destructive testing ofDynamic’s equipment requires written proof that technicians are certified to the latestrequirements of the Society for Non-Destructive Testing and that their inspection equipmentwas calibrated prior to the inspection itself.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 635/961

J4.20 

Whenever the operator finds anything wrong or apparently wrong, the problem should bereported immediately to the proper supervisor. See Sling section for inspections of wirerope and slings.

Signals

Standard crane signals should be accepted from only ONE authorized person  –  exceptwhere it is apparent that not doing so would result in an accident.

Obey a STOP signal at all times, no matter who gives it.

Loads should not be moved unless the standard crane signals are clearly given, seen andunderstood.

Unusual signals are seldom required, but if used they should be thoroughly understood bythe crane operator and authorized person giving the signal.

During any lift where the operator’s vision is blocked, radio communication shall be used torelay signals.

Stay Alert

The crane operator should keep hands on the handles of the controller or master switches,which control the motions in operation so stops can be made quickly in case of anemergency. Stand up, when necessary to improve vision, when making a lift or whenmoving a load in any direction. Be especially alert for any unusual sounds or warnings.Danger may be present that the crane operator cannot see.

Operating Precautions

One measure of a good crane operator is the smoothness of the crane operation. Jumpyand jer ky operation, flying starts, quick reversals and sudden stops are the ―trademarks‖ ofa poor operator. The good operator should know and follow these proven suggestions forsafe, efficient crane handling:

Crane controls should be moved smoothly and gradually to avoid abrupt, jerkymovements of the load. Slack must be removed from the sling and hoisting ropesbefore the load is lifted.

Center the crane over the load before starting the hoist to avoid swinging the load asthe lift is started. Loads should not be swung by the crane to reach areas not under

the crane.

Crane hoisting ropes should be kept vertical. Cranes shall not be used for sidepulls.

Never lower the block below the point where less than two full wraps of rope remainon the hoisting drum. Should all the rope be unwound from the drum, be sure it isrewound in the correct direction and seated properly in the drum grooves orotherwise the rope will be damaged and the hoist limit switch will not operate to stopthe hoist in the high position.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 636/961

 

J4.21 

Be sure everyone in the immediate area is clear of the load and aware that a load isbeing moved. Sound the warning device (if provided) when raising, lowering ormoving loads wherever people are working to make them aware that a load is beingmoved.

Do not make lifts beyond the rated load capacity of the crane, sling chains, rope

slings, etc.

Do not operate the crane if limit switches are out of order, or if ropes show defects orwear.

Make certain that before moving the load, load slings, load chains, or other liftingdevices are fully seated in the saddle of the hook with hook latch closed (if equippedwith hook latch).

When a duplex hook (double saddle hook) is used, a double sling or choker shouldbe used to assure that the load is equally divided over both saddles of the hook.

On all capacity or near capacity loads, the hoist brakes should be tested by returningthe master switch or push button to the ―OFF‖ position after raising the load a fewinches off the floor. Check the load for drift. If no drift, lower the load halfway to thefloor and stop. Again check for drift. If load drift is noticed in either step, lower theload to the floor and report the situation immediately to the supervisor.

Check to be sure that the load and/or bottom block is lifted high enough to clear allobstructions when moving bridge or trolley.

 At no time should a load be left suspended from the crane unless the operator is atthe master switches or push button with the power on, and under this condition keepthe load as close as possible to the floor to minimize the possibility of an injury if theload should drop. When the crane is holding a load, the crane operator shouldremain at the master switch or push button.

When a hitcher is used, it should be the joint responsibility of the crane operator andthe hitcher to see that hitches are secure and that all loose material has beenremoved from the load before starting a lift.

Do not lift loads with any sling hooks hanging loose. (If all sling hooks are notneeded, they should be properly stored, or use a different sling.)

 All slings or cables should be removed from the crane hooks when not in use.(Dangling cables or hooks hung in sling rings can inadvertently snag other objectswhen the crane is moving.)

Crane operators should not use limit switches to stop the hoist under normaloperating conditions. (These are emergency devices and shall not be used asoperating controls.)

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 637/961

J4.22 

Do not block, adjust or disconnect limit switches in order to go higher or lower thanthe switch will allow.

Upper limit switches (and lower limit switches, when provided) should be tested instopping the hoist at the beginning of each shift, or as frequently as otherwisedirected.

Operators shall not carry loads and/or empty bottom blocks over personnel.

Particular additional caution should be practiced when using magnet or vacuumdevices. Loads, or parts of loads, held magnetically could drop. Failure of power tomagnets or vacuum devices can result in dropping the load.

If the electric power goes off, place your controllers in the ―OFF‖ position and keepthem there until power is again available.

Before closing main or emergency switches, be sure that all controllers are in the―OFF‖ position so that the crane cannot start unexpectedly.

If plugging protection is not provided, always stop the controllers momentarily in the―OFF‖ position before reversing—except to avoid accidents. (The slight pause isnecessary to give the braking mechanism time to operate.)

Whenever the operator leaves the crane this procedure should be followed:

Raise all Hooks to an intermediate position

Spot the crane at an approved designated location

Place all controls in the ―OFF‖ position 

Open the main switch to the ―OFF‖ position 

Make visual check before leaving the crane

Note: On yard cranes (cranes on outside runways), operators should set the brake andanchor securely so the crane will not be moved by the wind.

When two or more cranes are used in making one lift, it is very important that thecrane operators take signals from only one designated person.

Never attempt to close a switch that has an ―OUT OF ORDER‖ or ―DO NOTOPERATE‖ card on it. Even when a crane operator has placed the card, it isnecessary to make a careful check to determine that no one else is working on thecrane, before removing the card.

In case of emergency or during inspection, repairing, cleaning or lubricating, awarning sign or signal should be displayed and the main switch should be locked inthe ―OFF‖ position. This should be done whether the work is being done by thecrane operator or by others. On cab-operated cranes when others are doing the

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 638/961

 

J4.23 

work, the crane operator should remain in the crane cab unless otherwise instructedby the supervisor.

Never move or bump another crane that has a warning sign or signal displayed.Contacts with runway stops or other cranes shall be made with extreme caution.The operator should do so with particular care for the safety of persons on or belowthe crane, and only after making certain that any persons on the other cranes are

aware of what is being done.

Do not change fuse sizes. Do not attempt to repair electrical apparatus or to makeother major repairs on the crane unless specific authorization has been received.

Never bypass any electrical limit switches or warning devices.

Load limit or overload devices shall not be used to measure loads being lifted. Sincethis is an emergency device, it shall not be used as a production operating control.

Sling Inspection

Wire Rope

Sling inspections are intended to detect serious damage or deterioration to the sling, whichmay lower the rated capacity or weaken the sling. The inspection shall be conducted by aqualified operator or riggers prior to use, and documented on our wire rope sling inspectionform (see Attachment 2 or Hazard Assessment Checklist (Shop)).

Sling shall be immediately removed from service if any of the following conditions arepresent:

Broken wires: For a single part sling, 10 randomly distributed broken wires in onerope lay, or five broken wires in one strand of one rope lay.

Metal loss: Wear or scraping of one-third (1/3) of the original diameter of outsideindividual wires.

Distortion: Kinking, crushing, birdcaging or other damage which distorts the ropestructures.

Evidence of heat damage.

End attachments that are cracked, deformed or worn.

Hooks that have been opened more than 15 percent of the normal throat openingmeasured at the narrowest opening measured at the narrowest point or twisted morethan 10 degrees from the plane of the unbent hook.

J4.24 

Web Slings

Web slings shall be inspected prior to each use (visually) and documented on the ―DailyCherry Picker Checklist‖ (see Attachment 1 or Hazard Assessment Checklist (Shop)). Theoperating area shall maintain a certification of the load test on file for each sling.

Each sling shall be marked or coded to show the rated capacities for each type hitch anduniform thickness and width.

When synthetic web slings are used the following precaution shall be taken:

Nylon web slings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, mists or liquids ofacids or phenolics are present.

Polyester and polypropylene web slings shall not be used where fumes, vapor,sprays, mists or liquids of caustics and present.

Web slings with aluminum fitting shall not be used where fumes, vapor, sprays,mists or liquids of caustics and present.

Web slings, which are repaired, shall not be used unless repaired by the slingmanufacturer. Repaired slings shall be proof tested by manufacturer to twice the ratedcapacity. The manufacturer shall provide, for the employer’s records, a certificate of thetest.

Synthetic web slings shall be immediately removed from service if any of the followingconditions are present.

 Acid or caustic Burns.

Melting or charring of any part of the sling surface.

Snags, punctures, tears or cuts.

Broken or worn stitches or

Distortion of fitting.

Chain Slings

 Alloy steel chain slings grade 80 or 100 shall be used for any type of lifting

Transport chain slings grade 70 or 700 shall only be used for binding down loads fortransportation. Under no circumstance shall transport chain slings be used for lifting.

 Alloy steel chain slings, Grade 80 or 100, shall have permanently affixed durableidentification stating size, grade, rated capacity and reach. Chain slings’ attachments shallhave a rated capacity at least equal to that of the alloy chain sling. Make shift links,fasteners or attachments shall not be used. Individuals shall not use alloy chain slings withloads, which exceed the rated capacity of the sling.

J4.25 

Inspection shall be conducted prior to each use and a documented inspection conductedweekly (see Attachment 4 or Hazard Assessment Checklist (Shop)). Each chain sling shallbe re-certified on an annual interval.

Rigging Practices

Only employees who have completed Dynamic Industries or a designated Rigger

course may perform rigging operations and perform Pre-use inspections of riggingand rigging equipment to ensure the rigging is safe to be used.

Sling angles will not be less than 30 degrees from the horizontal (or not more than60 degrees from the vertical). (See Attachment 5 for proper sling anglecalculations.) Never use slings for loads that weight more than the rating of the sling.

NO "field fabricated" slings shall be used.

Knots or kinks are not permitted in wire rope or slings for any reason.

Slings and wire rope must not be used and removed from service if they have nocertification tag or matching certification documents, any excessive amount of wear,damage, flat spots, broken wires, or visual lack of lubrication exist and must becertified and tagged. If any of the above conditions are present, the equipment willbe replaced or   sent in for inspection, testing, and refurbishment by qualifiedpersonnel.

Chains, fiber rope, or "soft line" shall not be used in the place of wire rope slings tolift loads or personnel. Appropriately rated nylon or synthetic webbed slings areacceptable for non-personnel lifts.

Wire rope and slings shall not contact any rough cut edges or holes such as padeyes and shall be padded or properly protected to prevent damage from contact bysharp corners. Shackles must be used with all pad eyes.

Hook openings shall be turned outward on hook slings. (see Attachment 5)

Tag lines shall be used on all lifts. They shall be of sufficient length, diameter, andstrength to allow adequate control of the load by the rigger(s).

The free end of tag lines should not contain anything that is likely to becomesnagged during lifting operations (e.g., knots or weights).

Tag lines should be connected to the lowest practical point and at right angles on theload whenever possible. If a tag line cannot be attached directly to the load, it mustbe attached to the shackle end of the sling as near the load as possible.

Slings and tag lines must be clear of all obstructions before the signal person and/orrigger divert their attention from the load.

J4.26 

 At no time are load hooks or lines to be used underwater. If underwater operationsare to be performed, the contractor shall furnish the proper submergiblecable/equipment.

Wedge sockets shall be installed in accordance with API RP 2D (see Attachment 5).

Rigging and rigging equipment shall be stored in designated locations when not in

use.

Shackle Information 

There are two types of shackles commonly used in rigging. They are the anchor(bow type) shackle and chain ("D" type) shackle. The pin styles commonly usedwith shackles are screw pins, bolt pins, and loose pins. Shackles, like most otherrigging hardware, are sized by the diameter of the steel in the bow section ratherthan the pin size.

Only screw type pins are accepted on Dynamic Industries locations for rigging and

lifting operations.

Only high strength alloy steel shackles are to be used in lifting operations (see Attachment 5).

Only properly fitted screw pins shall be used in shackles. Never replace the shacklepin with a bolt.

Shackles should never be used if the distance between the eyes is greater thanlisted in Appendix C.

 All screw pins must be straight and completely seated in the shackle.

Shackles worn in the crown or the pin by more than 10% of the original diametershall be discarded. 

Shackles should never be attached where the load could possibly roll or unscrew thepin during the lifting process.

Shackle specifications: (see Attachment 5)

Suspended Personnel Man Baskets/Platforms

General 

Personnel are allowed to work from approved suspended personnel baskets only.

Hoisting of personnel should be performed in a slow, controlled, and cautiousmanner.

J4.28 

The number of personnel occupying the personnel platform shall not exceed thenumber of employees required to do the job.

Personnel platforms shall be used only for employees, their tools, and the materialsnecessary to do their work.

Materials and tools shall be evenly distributed and secured to prevent displacement.

Rigging

Crane hooks used to lift suspended work baskets will have a positive locking device(not a spring loaded flap or clip)

Rigging for a suspended personnel basket will be installed to minimize tipping overregardless of location of personnel in the basket.

 All slings, shackles, and wire rope must be inspected and rated for 5 times thebaskets maximum rated load capacity. If rotational resistant rope is used, it mustsupport at least 10 times the maximum load.

 All eyes of wire rope slings shall be fabricated with thimbles.

 All rigging for personnel platforms must be used only for the personnel platform.

 All shackles incorporated in a Personnel Basket lifting configuration will be tight andwire locked.

Trial lift, inspection, and proof test

Trial lift must be performed immediately prior to placement of personnel on theplatform. The platform must be loaded with at least the anticipated lift weight.During the trial lift, the platform must be lifted from the area where the personnel willenter the basket. A single trial lift may be performed at one time for all the locationsthat are to be reached from a single set up position. The operator must insure thatthe load does not exceed 50% of the cranes capacity at any of the platformslocations. The test lift must be documented on the Suspended Personnel PlatformTest Lift/Proof Test Form. (See Attachment 6)

 A proof test, which can be done concurrently with the trial lift, must be performedbefore personnel enter the personnel platform. A proof test must be performed witha test weight equaling 125% of the platforms capacity. This lift must be a minimumof 5 minutes long with the crane, platform, and hoist inspected by a competentperson after lift is completed. Any defects found must be corrected, and another 5minute test must be performed. The proof test shall be documented on the Test LiftChecklist (see Attachment 6).

 After trial lift, the platform must be lifted a few inches to ensure that the platform isproperly balanced.

2. Storage Tanks

 A.  Avoid overshot “splash filling”. The outlet of the fill pipe shoulddischarge near the bottom of the tank with minimum agitation of thewater and sediment on the tank bottom.

B. Where the outlet of the fill line is attached to a “downcomer”, siphon

breakers that permit air or vapor to enter the downcomer should not beused. Avoid discharging product from a swing line elevated above theliquid level. Limit the velocity of the incoming liquid stream to three (3)feet per second until the fill outlet is well submerged.

C. Ungrounded objects, such as loose gauge floats, should be eliminated.

D. Avoid pumping substantial amounts of air or other entrained gas intothe tank through the liquid.

E. Metallic or conductive hand gauging tapes and sample cans or bottles

on chains may act as spark promoters and shall not be lowered intotanks that may contain flammable atmospheres during tank loading.

F. Personnel must wait at least five (5) minutes after loading is completedbefore conductive gauging or sampling materials are used in the tank.While gauging or sampling is being performed, the gauge line orsampling device must remain continuously in contact with the edge ofthe thief hatch to form a bond.

G. Bonding straps on gauging tapes shall not be removed and shall besecurely clamped to the thief hatch while gauging is being

accomplished.

H. Metallic tanks that are in contact with the ground are sufficientlygrounded as long as one of the following conditions are met:

1. A tank is connected without insulated joints to a grounded metallic pipingsystem;

2. A vertical cylindrical tank rests on earth or concrete and is at least 20 feet(6 meters) in diameter, or rests on bituminous pavement and is at least 50feet (15 meters) in diameter.

J7.3 

Definitions

Benching - a method of protecting employees from cave-ins by excavating the sidesof an excavation to form one or a series of horizontal levels or steps, usually withvertical or near vertical surfaces between levels.

Cave-in - the separation of a mass of soil or rock material from the side of anexcavation, or the loss of soil from under a trench shield or support system, and itssudden movement into the excavation, either by failing or sliding, in sufficientquantity so that it could entrap, bury, or otherwise injure and immobilize a person.

Cemented Soil – means a soil in which the particles are held together by a chemicalagent, such as calcium carbonate, such that a hand-size sample cannot be crushedinto powder or individual soil particles by finger pressure.

Cohesive Soil  –  means a soil (fine grained soil), or soil with a high clay content,which has cohesive strength. Cohesive soil does not crumble, can be excavated withvertical sideslopes, and is plastic when moist. Cohesive soil is hard to break up

when dry, and exhibits significant cohesion when submerged. Cohesive soils includeclayey slits, sand clay, silty clay, clay and organic clay.

Competent Person - one who is capable of identifying existing and predictablehazards in the surroundings or working conditions, which are unsanitary, hazardous,or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt correctivemeasures to eliminate them.

Dry Soil – means soil that does not exhibit visible signs of moisture content.

Duration of Exposure - the longer an excavation is open, the longer the other factors

have to work on causing it to collapse.

Excavation - any man-made cut, trench, or depression in an earth surface, formedby earth removal.

Fissured – means a soil material that has a tendency to break along definite planesof fracture with little resistance, or a material that exhibits open cracks, such astension cracks, in an exposed surface.

Granular Soil – means gravel, sand or silt, (coarse grained soil) with little or no claycontent. Granular soil has no cohesive strength. Some moist granular soils exhibit

apparent cohesion. Granular soil cannot be molded when moist and crumbles easilywhen dry.

Hazardous Atmosphere - an atmosphere which by reason of being explosive,flammable, poisonous, corrosive, oxidizing, irritating, oxygen deficient, toxic, orotherwise harmful, may cause death, illness, or injury.

Layered System – means two or more distinctly different soil or rock types arrangedin layers. Micaceous seams or weakened planes in rock or shale are consideredlayered.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 735/961

 

J7.4

Moist Soil – means a condition in which a soil looks and feels damp. Moist cohesivesoil can easily be shaped into a ball and rolled into small diameter threads beforecrumbling. Moist granular soil that contains some cohesive material will exhibit signsof cohesion between particles.

Plastic – means a property of a soil, which allows the soil to be deformed or molded

without cracking, or appreciable volume change.

Protective System - a method of protecting employees from cave-ins, from materialthat could fall or roll from an excavation, or from the collapse of adjacent structures.Protective systems include support systems, sloping and benching systems, shieldsystems, and other systems that provide necessary protection.

Saturated Soil  –  means a soil in which the voids are filled with water. Saturationdoes not require flow. Saturation, or near saturation, is necessary for the proper useof instruments such as a pocket penetrometer or sheer vane.

Shield - a structure that is capable of withstanding the forces imposed on it by acave-in and thereby protects employees within the structure. Shields can bepermanent structures or can be designed to be portable and moved along as workprogresses. All shields must be in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.652(c)3 or (c)4.

Sloping - a method of protecting workers from cave-ins by excavating to form sidesof an excavation that are inclined away from the excavation to prevent cave-ins. Theangle of incline required to prevent a cave-in varies with differences such as soiltype, length of exposure, and application of surcharge loads.

Soil Classification System – means a method of categorizing soil and rock deposits

in a hierarchy of Stable Rock, Type A, Type B, and Type C, in decreasing order ofstability. The categories are determined based on an analysis of the properties andperformance characteristics of the deposits and the environmental conditions ofexposure.

Stable Rock - natural solid mineral matter which can be excavated with vertical sidesand remain intact while exposed.

Submerged Soil – means soil, which is underwater or is free seeping.

Surcharge Loads - generated by the weight of anything in proximity to the

excavation, push starts for a cave-in (anything up top pushing down). Commonsurcharge loads:

weight of spoil pile

weight of nearby buildings, poles, pavement, or other structural objects.

weight of material and equipment

J7.5 

Trench - a narrow excavation below the surface of the ground, less than 15 feetwide, with a depth no greater than the width.

Type A Soil - is cohesive with an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 tons persquare foot (tsf). Type A soils include clay, silty clay, sandy clay, clay loam, caliche,hardpan, and sometimes-silty clay loam and sandy clay loam. No soil should beclassified as Type A if it is fissured; subject to vibration from traffic, pile driving, orsimilar effects; previously disturbed; or part of a sloped, layered system where theslope is four horizontal to one vertical or greater.

Type B Soil - is cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength greater than.5 tsf but less than 1.5 tsf. Type B soils include granular cohesionless soils likeangular gravel, silt, silt loam, sandy loam, and sometimes silty clay loam and sandyclay loam; previously disturbed soils that are not Type C; fissured soils and soilssubject to vibration that would otherwise be classified as Type A; dry rock that is notstable; and material that is part of a sloped, layered system where the layers dip ona slope less steep than four horizontal to one vertical.

Type C Soil - is cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength of .5 tsf orless. Type C soils include granular soils such as gravel, sand, and loamy sand;submerged soil; soil from which water is freely seeping; submerged rock that is notstable; or material in a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into theexcavation at a slope of four horizontal to one vertical or steeper.

Unconfined Compressive Strength – means the load per unit area at which a soil willfail in compression. It can be determined by laboratory testing, or estimated in thefield using a pocket penetrometer, by thumb penetration tests, and other methods.

Undermining - undermining can be caused by such things as leaking, leaching,

caving or over-digging. Undermined walls can be very dangerous.

Vibration - a force that is present on construction sites and must be considered. Thevibrations caused by backhoes, dump trucks, compactors and traffic on job sites canbe substantial.

Wet Soil – means soil that contains significantly more moisture than moist soil, but insuch a range of values that cohesive material will slump or will begin to flow whenvibrated. Granular material that would exhibit cohesive properties when moist willlose those cohesive properties when wet.

Requirements

Before Excavating

Before anyone at this company begins excavating, we follow the steps below:

Contact the utility companies or property owners and ask the companies orowners to find the exact location of the underground installations in the area.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 737/961

 

J7.6

If the utility companies or owners do not respond within 24 hours or the periodestablished by law or ordinance, or if they cannot establish the location of theutility lines, the excavation may proceed with caution only with the Client orOwner ’s approval. In this situation, employees shall be provided withdetection equipment or other safe and acceptable means to locate utilityinstallations. Some Client’s may require a Utility Representative Presentduring the excavation.

Remove or adequately support the following objects (i.e., trees, rocks, andsidewalks) in the excavation area that could create a hazard to employees.

Using Appendix A to 29 CFR 1926, Subpart P, classify the type of soil androck deposits at the site as either stable rock, Type A, Type B, or Type C soil.The soil classification is based on the results of at least one visual and atleast one manual analysis conducted by a competent person. Details of theacceptable visual and manual analyses are to be found in Appendix A of 29CFR 1926, Subpart P.

NOTE: Soil classification is not necessary if the excavation will be sloped toan angle of one and one-half horizontal to one vertical or if shoring is used.

Have the competent person choose the appropriate method for protectivesupport systems, as necessary. See the Protective Support Systems sectionfor the procedures he/she used for selecting this system.

Protective Support Systems

The company protects each employee in an excavation from cave-ins during anexcavation by an adequate protective system designed in accordance with OSHA

standards. Protective system options include proper sloping or benching of the sidesof the excavation; supporting the sides of the excavation with timber shoring oraluminum hydraulic shoring; or placing a shield between the side of the excavationand the work area. Moreno Group LLC and Subsidiaries has the following StandardOperating Procedures (SOP) regarding protective support systems for excavations,in accordance with safe practices and procedures and OSHA excavationregulations:

If the excavation is made entirely of stable rock, then no protectivesystem is necessary or used unless the Competent Person or theClient requires added safeguards.

If the excavation is less than 5 feet in depth (provided there is noindication of a potential cave-in), then no protective system isnecessary or used.

If the excavation is less than or equal to 20 feet in depth, then acompetent person shall choose the most practical design approach(that meets required performance criteria) for the particular

If the excavation is more than 20 feet in depth, then have a registeredprofessional engineer design all protective systems for use in theexcavation.

Sloping

When sloping is used to protect against cave-ins, these options can be chosen fordesigning sloping systems:

If a soil classification is not made, then slope the sides of the excavation to anangle not steeper than one and one-half horizontal to one vertical (34degrees). A slope of this gradation or less is considered safe for any type ofsoil.

Use the following table to determine the maximum allowable slope andallowable configurations for sloping systems. The soil type must bedetermined in order to use this option.

Maximum Allowable Slopes (H: V)For Excavations Less Than 20 Feet Deep

Stable Rock Vertical 90 degrees

Type A ¾:1 53 degrees

Type B 1:1 45 degreesType C 1 ½:1 34 degrees

Use other tabulated data approved by a registered professional engineer.

Have an engineer design and approve the system to be used. There are anumber of exceptions or special cases to these general sloping guidelines,which can be utilized by your company if the conditions meet the exception'srequirements. The exceptions and conditions are outlined below:

-  In Type A soil, simple slope excavations which are open 24 hours or less(short term) and which are 12 feet high or less in depth may have amaximum allowable slope of 1/2 horizontal to 1 vertical.

-  In Type A soil, all excavations 8 feet or less in depth, which have

unsupported vertically sided lower portions must have a maximum verticalside of 3.5 feet.

-  In Type A soil, excavations over 8 feet but less than 12 feet in depth withunsupported vertically sided lower portions must have a maximumallowable slope of 1H:1V and a maximum vertical side of 3.5 feet.

Support Systems, Shield Systems, and Other Protective Systems

Timber Shoring

When trenches do not exceed 20 feet, timber shoring according to OSHAdesign specifications may be used. Designs for timber shoring in trenches forcompany work sites are determined by the competent person using thefollowing method(s):

  Use the requirements set forth by OSHA in Appendices A and C of the 29CFR 1926, Subpart P. The design specifications for timber shoring providedby OSHA may be found in Tables C-1.1 through C-1.3 of Appendix C of 29CFR 1926, Subpart P. These tables refer to the actual dimensions and notnominal dimensions of the timber. If the competent person chooses to usenominal size shoring, they must use the additional tables found in Appendix Cof 29 CFR 1926, Subpart P. The soil type in which the excavation is mademust be determined in order to use the OSHA data.

NOTE: The specifications do not apply in every situation experienced in the field;

the data were developed to apply to most common trenching situations. If thespecifications do not apply to the situation encountered in the field, thecompetent person will make a determination of what approach to use to allowsafe protective support of the excavation.

General Requirements for Excavations

The following rules are to be followed at all times by all employees working on, in, ornear excavations, as applicable:

  Employees exposed to any vehicular or equipment traffic must wear warningvests or other suitable garments made of reflectorized or high-visibilitymaterial. The Competent Person shall identify an employee(s) as a flagperson to direct vehicular or equipment traffic.

  The competent person inspects the excavation and the adjacent areas on adaily basis for possible cave-ins, failure of protective systems and equipment,hazardous atmospheres, or other hazardous conditions. Inspections are alsorequired after the occurrence of any natural (i.e. rain) or man-made events (i.e. blasting) that could increase the potential for hazards (see Attachment 1)Employees may not begin work until after being informed by the competent

person that these inspections are complete.

  A warning system (i.e. flag person, barricades, stop logs etc.) is used to alertoperators of mobile equipment and other employees at the work site of theedge of an excavation.

  Adequate protection is provided to protect employees from falling rock, soil, orother materials and equipment. Protection is provided by placing and keepingsuch materials or equipment at least 10 feet from the edge of excavations, orby the use of retaining devices that are sufficient to prevent materials orequipment from falling or rolling into excavations, or by a combination of both

if necessary.

  Employees are not permitted under loads that are handled by lifting or diggingequipment. Employees are not allowed to work in the excavation above otheremployees unless the lower level employees are adequately protected.

  While the excavation is open, underground installations are protected,supported, or removed as necessary to safeguard employees. Adjacentstructures are supported to prevent possible collapse.

J8.3

Reporting any fall to supervision immediately.

Removing from service any equipment subjected to the forces of a fall.

Definitions

 Anchorage  –  a secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards or deceleration

devices.

Body Harness -- Straps which may be secured about the employee in a manner thatwill distribute the fall arrest forces over at least the thighs, pelvis, waist, chest andshoulders with means for attaching it to other components of a personal fall arrestsystem.

Competent Person – An individual designated by the employer to be responsible forthe immediate supervision, implementation, and monitoring of the employer’smanaged fall protection program who, through training and knowledge, is capable ofidentifying, evaluating, and addressing existing and potential fall hazards, and who

has the employer’s  authority to take prompt corrective action with regard to suchhazards.

Controlled Access Zones – An area in which certain work may take place without theuse of guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems or safety net systems andaccess to zone is controlled.

Deceleration Device  –  Any mechanism, such as a rope grab, rip stitch lanyard,specially woven lanyard, tearing or deforming lanyards, automatic self-retractinglifelines/lanyards, etc., which serves to dissipate a substantial amount of energyduring a fall system or otherwise limit the energy imposed on an employee during fall

arrest.

Deceleration Distance means the additional vertical distance a falling employeetravels, excluding lifeline elongation and free fall distance, before stopping, from thepoint at which the deceleration device begins to operate. It is measured as thedistance between the location of an employee’s body belt or body harnessattachment point at the moment of activation (at the onset of fall arrest forces) of thedeceleration device during a fall, and the location of that attachment point after theemployee comes to a full stop.

Free fall means the act of falling before a personal fall arrest system begins to apply

force to arrest the fall.

Free fall distance means the vertical displacement of the fall arrest attachment pointon the employee’s body belt or body harness between onset of the fall and justbefore the system begins to apply force to arrest the fall. This distance excludesdeceleration distance, and lifeline / lanyard elongation, but includes any decelerationdevice slide distance or self-retracting lifeline / lanyard extension before they operateand fall arrest forces occur.

8/21/2019 2010 Moreno Binder Secure

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/2010-moreno-binder-secure 755/961

J8.4

Guardrail system means a barrier erected to prevent employees from falling to lowerlevels.

Lanyard  –  A flexible line of rope, wire rope, or straps which generally has aconnector at each end for connecting the body harness to a deceleration device,lifeline or anchorage.

“Y” Lanyard  – Two lanyards sharing a common shock absorbing device.

Leading Edge – The edge of a floor, roof or formwork for a floor or other walking /working surface (such as the deck), which changes location as additional floor, roof,decking or formwork sections are placed, formed or constructed to be an“unprotected side and edge” during periods when it is not actively and continuouslyunder construction.

Lifeline – A component consisting of a flexible line for connection to an anchorage atone end to hang vertically (vertical lifeline) or for connection to anchorages at bothends to stretch horizontally (horizontal lifeline) and which serves as a means forconnecting other components of a personal fall arrest system to the anchorage.

Personal Fall Arrest System – A system used to arrest an employee in a fall from aworking level. It consists of an anchorage, connectors, and a body harness whichmay include a lanyard, deceleration device, lifeline or suitable combinations of these.

Qualified Person – A person with a recognized degree or professional certificate andwith extensive knowledge, training, and experience in the fall protection and rescuefield who is capable of designing, analyzing, evaluating and specifying fall protectionand rescue systems to the extent required by the standard.

Rope Grab  –  A deceleration device that travels on a lifeline and automatically by

friction, engages the lifeline and locks so as to arrest the fall of an employee. A ropegrab usually employs the principle of inertial locking, cam/level locking or both.

Safety Monitoring  – A safety system in which a competent person is responsible forrecognizing and warning employees of fall hazards.

Self-Retracting Lifeline/Lanyard  –  A deceleration device containing a drum-woundline, which can be slowly extracted from or retracted onto, the drum under slighttension during normal employee movement and which after onset of a fall,automatically locks the drum and arrests the fall.

Unprotected sides and edges means any side or edge (except at entrances to pointsof access) of a walking / working surface, e.g., floor, roof, ramp, or runway wherethere is no wall or guardrail system at least 39 inches (1.0 m) high

Walking / working surface means any surface, whether horizontal or vertical onwhich an employee walks or works, including, but not limited to, floors, roofs, ramps,bridges, runways, formwork and concrete reinforcing steel but not including ladders,vehicles, or trailers, on which employees must be located in order to perform their

 job duties.

J8.5

Requirements

This policy provides for continuous fall protection, when the possibility of a fall of 6feet or greater exists. This may occur when work activities include traversing,climbing, descending, etc. The First Line Supervisor shall be responsible forrecognizing fall hazards, communicate and monitor the hazard. Fall Hazards includebut not limited to, uneven surfaces, obstacles or clutter, elevated work areas,

inadequate handrails, inadequate barricades around a deck opening or edge,improper climbing equipment, or fall protection equipment failure.

Fall prevention incorporates methods and practices that eliminate the possibility of afall. Wherever possible, eliminating the possibility of a fall through design changesor a change in work procedures is preferred. Engineering out the hazards duringdesign of a work location, or modification to an area can eliminate the fall hazardentirely. Where design modifications are not practical, or cannot totally eliminate thehazards, traditional fall protection equipment such as handrails and guardrails is themost effective risk reduction measure. Where traditional fall protection is notpossible, fall restraint and personal fall arrest systems shall be required.

When a Personal Fall Arrest System is utilized for fall protection, it must meet thearresting force identified in the equipment section of this procedure and installed insuch a manner to prevent the employee from free falling more than 6 feet or contactthe lower level.

Equipment

 A full body harness is required to properly distribute fall arrest forces tominimize potential injury to the body in the event of a fall. The maximumarresting force on an employee shall be limited to 1,800 lbs. The harness

must be made of polyester material, and be ANSI Z359.1 approved.Harnesses shall be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs.

“Y” lanyards  a maximum of 6 feet in length are required. Lanyards must be ANSI Z359.1 approved. Lanyards must have a shock absorbing deviceintegral to them. Shock absorbers shall allow for a maximum decelerationdistance of 3.5 feet, and limit fall arrest forces to 900 lbs. All snap hooksintegral to lanyards shall be of the self-locking/self-closing design, whichmeets ANSI Z359.1-2007. Lanyards shall be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs.Lanyards shall be tied off to a suitable anchor point 100% of the time and alsoduring travel. 

Anchor Point

 An anchor point is a secure point of attachment for lanyards, lifelines, or othercomponents of a personal fall protection system. Anchor points shall becapable of supporting 5,000 lbs. per employee attached, or shall be designedwith a safety factor of at least two by a qualified person. An anchor pointshould be as directly overhead as possible, or attachment to the anchor pointshould be chosen as to not allow a free fall of greater than 6 feet. In caseswhere the anchor point is lower than the attachment point of the harness, a

J8.6

shorter lanyard or other fall arrest device (i.e. Retractable lifeline) should beused. Handrails, barricades, tubing, cable trays, small diameter piping (i.e. 2” O.D. or less) shall not be used as an anchor point.

Additional Fall Protection

Horizontal LifelineHorizontal lifelines must be of a designed system (i.e. pre engineered system)

and installed under the supervision of a competent person. A QualifiedPerson will design and approve the installation and use of all horizontallifeline systems, whether permanent or temporary. Because forces on theanchorage points at each end of the horizontal lifeline can be much greaterthan those on a vertical plane, only engineered systems may be used.Horizontal lifelines can be rated for one or more persons depending on thecertification by the Qualified Person and must maintain a safety factor of atleast two. (1926.502 (d)(8)). Refer to 1926 subpart M, appendix C forguidelines.

Vertical Lifeline

When vertical lifelines are used, each employee shall be attached to aseparate lifeline. Components of the vertical lifeline system shall be capableof supporting 5,000 lbs. The attachment point of the fall arrestor shall be atthe dorsal dee-ring of the harness. When permanently installed ladderclimbing systems are used, the fall arrestor shall be attached at the chestdee-ring of the harness.

Self Retracting Lanyard (SRL)SRL’s shall be installed using ANSI Z359.1 approved connectors (i.e.carabineers or anchor pads/straps), to an anchor point capable of supporting5,000 lbs. The attachment point of the SRL shall be at the dorsal dee-ring of

the harness. Users of SRL’s shall not connect the snap hook of their lanyardto the snap hook of a SRL. SRL’s should be used when the potential free falldistance is greater than 6 feet, or when the height of the walking/workingsurface is less than 12 feet from ground level. ( A shorter lanyard may also beused in the above situation.)

Inspection

Personal fall arrest systems shall be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage,or other deterioration, and defective components shall be removed from service. Allsystems and components involved in a fall shall be removed from service, tagged

“Out of Service” and turned into the SH&E Department.

Fall Protection shall have documented inspections on an Offshore Tool HouseChecklist prior to going offshore by a Competent Person. While offshore, fallprotection documented inspections shall be performed utilizing the Offshore ToolHouse Checklist monthly. For onshore locations, a Competent Person will performdocumented inspections prior to fall protection being issued and quarterly utilizingthe inspection checklist in Attachment 2 unless a more stringent documentedinspection is being utilized per tool room requirements.

J8.7

Maintenance and Storage

Fall protection equipment should be cleaned with cool soapy water, and rinsed withclear cool water. Equipment should be hung by the dee-ring to dry. Equipment shallnot be force-dried.

When not in use, equipment should be hung in a clean, dry area by the dee-ring.

Work Practices

Hazard Analysis

When a job task will create the possibility or potential for a fall the First LineSupervision should consider methods in which to address fall hazards in thefollowing order:

Fall Elimination

Eliminate the need to perform elevated work.

Fall Prevention

Fall prevention may be accomplished by the use of manlifts, scaffolds, ortemporary access ways with hand-rails, midrails, and toe boards.

Fall Protection

Use of proper fall arrest systems such as: full body harnesses, “y”lanyards, lifelines (both vertical and horizontal), retractable lifelines, etc.This equipment shall be made available to employees.

Note:  Where conventional fall protection systems can not be implemented, the First

Line Supervision must classify this area as a controlled access zones. Supervisionshall identify designate those employees who are authorized to work within this zoneand designate a safety monitoring system. The safety monitoring system will beassigned to: 

Recognize fall hazards

Warn employees if they are unaware of a fall hazard or is acting in an unsafemanner.

Be on same working surface and in visual sight.

Stay close enough for verbal communication

Not having other assignments that would take monitors attention from themonitoring function.

Vertical beams shall not be climbed.

When climbing stairs, one hand shall be free to use the handrails.

Climbing on equipment such as pumps, exchangers, valve hand wheels,transformers, electric motors, hand rails, structures, or any other facilities notdesigned for climbing should be avoided. Climbing on conduit, cable trays, orother equipment not capable of supporting the weight of a person isprohibited.

Climbing on a ladder while another person is above or on the same section ofthe ladder is prohibited.

When working from a ladder, the ladder shall be secure at both ends and fallprotection shall be utilized above 6’ or in close proximity of a handrail wherethere is potential for an individual to fall over the handrail.

When climbing a ladder over 24 feet in height, fall protection tie off systemshall be utilized.

 Adequate support should be available when walking in pipe bands to providea safe walking/working surface without causing damage to the piping,insulation or heat tracing.

Personal fall arrest systems must be used and anchored to a designatedanchor point when using, traveling on or working from mobile work platformssuch as:

Spiders,

Manlifts,

Scissor-lifts and/or

Crane baskets

Working over Water

When offshore working over water, where there are potential fall hazards,such as and not limited to the following:

o  Working over the side of a platform

 A fall arrest system and a USCG approved life jacket / work vest shall utilized.

The fall arrest system shall be secured to proper anchor points located above

the worker.

Scaffold Erection

During scaffold erection, a fall arrest system will be utilized. The preferredmethod of tie-off shall be a structural member anchor point with an attachedSRL. In those cases, where an anchor point is unavailable above thescaffolding location and a SRL can not be utilized, scaffold builders shall tieoff to the vertical scaffold member rosettes.

Lanyards and Anchor Points

When not in use, lanyards should be attached back to the harness in such away as to not present a tripping hazard. The ends of lanyards should not bedragged on the ground.

Lanyards should be attached to the best possible anchor point (one that iscapable of supporting the forces of a fall), directly above the employee. Theanchor point should not be chosen if connecting to it presents a fall hazard.Information concerning anchor point requirements should be obtained fromthe client representative.

 Anchor points shall be at least as high as the attachment point of the harnessin order to comply with 1926 M.

Lanyards shall be protected from cuts or abrasions. When a direct snap hookto anchorage connection cannot be achieved, an anchorage connector shouldbe used.

Snap hooks should always be fixed to an anchorage as to not allow a sideload on the hook.

Knots shall not be tied in lanyards.

The snap hooks of a “y” lanyard  shall not be connected to each other.Lanyard snap hooks can not be connected back to the lanyard webbingunless a lanyard is designed with tie-back features.

The annualmaintenance date should be recorded and the record retained for one year after thelast entry or the life of the extinguisher, whichever is less. Only qualified personsshall make these inspections.

Inspection of Fixed and Portable Fire Suppression Equipment

Monthly, documented inspections should be made of all portable fire suppression

equipment to ensure the equipment is accessible and ready for immediate use.

 All portable fire suppression equipment should be given a thorough documentedmaintenance check by qualified service personnel at least annually.

Use 

Detecting and extinguishing a fire in its incipient stage is critical. Failure to do somay result in a much larger, more serious fire with a greater potential for personnelinjuries and property damage. All employees responding to fires will be trained in thecare, use and limitations of portable fire extinguishers. They will be expected to

report and respond to fires in the incipient stages in their areas. Wheneverpossible, fire fighting will be done using hand held portable fire extinguishers. Firesbeyond the incipient stage will be handled by the local fire department.

General Guidelines for Responding to Small Fires in the Incipient Stages are asFollows:

Immediately call for help. Alert personnel in the area. Never try to extinguish a firewithout first summoning help.

If it is safe to do so, try to extinguish the fire using portable fire extinguishers. If it is

not practical or possible, keep personnel out of the area until help arrives.

NOTE: If a fire is being fueled by a flammable liquid or gas, shut off the fuel supplybefore trying to extinguish the fire. Failure to do so might result in the spread of agas or vapor cloud, which would travel a considerable distance before reaching asource of ignition.

Try to limit the spread of fire by cooling or removing adjacent flammable orcombustible materials.

J9.6

Direct emergency response personnel to the area and assist them to the extent ofyour training. 

Extinguishing Methods and Agents include the following:

Class "A" Fires (Cloth, wood, paper, etc.). Water is the best-extinguishing agent forClass "A" fires. Dry chemical extinguishers containing an ABC multi-purpose agent

will also put out Class "A" fires.

Class "B" Fires (Flammable and Combustible Liquids and Gases). ABC or BC drychemical is the best agent for Class “B” fires. CO2 can be used in some cases butmay be ineffective in outside windy locations. Foam extinguishes may be effectiveon small spill or pools fires of flammable or combustible liquids.

Fires involving flammable gases should not be extinguished until the fuel feeding thefire is shut off. Failure to do so may result in a flammable gas or vapor cloudtraveling a considerable distance to a source of ignition. Water spray and fog can beused to cool adjacent equipment and protect personnel. Once the fuel has been shut

off, any remaining fire can be extinguished using a water spray or fog.

Class "C" fires involve energized electrical equipment. Only portable fireextinguishers containing a nonconductive fire extinguishing agent such as drychemical, carbon dioxide or Halon should be used. The products of combustion ofelectrical insulating materials are usually very toxic and should not be inhaled.

When responding to an electrical fire, every reasonable effort should be made toshut off the electrical supply to the circuit or equipment. If unable to shut off theelectrical supply, call an electrician to do so. Once the electrical supply has beenturned off, it is safe to use water based extinguishing agents on the fire.

Class “D”  fires involve burning metals such as magnesium and only Class Dextinguishers that contain dry powder should be used.

Carbon dioxide displaces oxygen and should not be used where the operator mustenter very confined spaces or enclosures without self contained breathingequipment. Likewise, high concentrations of Halon 1211 can be harmful if inhaled.

Hot Work Permits for work in areas identified as fire potential hazards must beobtained from facility management or designee.

Employee Alarm Systems

The employee alarm system / PA system shall provide warning for necessaryemergency as called for in the action Emergency Preparedness Plan , or for reactiontime for safe escape of employees from the workplace or the immediate work areaor both.

The employee alarm shall be capable of being perceived above ambient noise orlight levels by all employees in the affected portions of the workplace.

J11.4

Preparation of the Flanged Joint for Opening

Determine what product or material has been contained in the processequipment or piping. Obtain a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to ensure

proper precautions and personal protective equipment is used during thisprocedure. 

Verify the exact location(s) where blinding is necessary. These locations shouldbe marked to identify the correct location (i.e. side of the valve) to break the lineand/or blind. Blinds will be installed on the side of the block valve that is mostconsistent with pressure testing requirements.

First Line Supervisor shall have the designated operator demonstrate (i.e.lockout/tagout, gauges, needle valves, etc.) that the process equipment or pipingis properly isolated and stored energy has been released. Once this

demonstration has been conducted the First Line Supervisor shall ensureoperations is ready to release the equipment for this procedure. Verify that theblinds are correctly sized, both in diameter and thickness for the maximumpressure that it could be expected to hold. Blinds must be of the correct materialsof construction and pressure rating. Pressure ratings for blanks and blinds mustbe equal to or greater than the pipe / equipment pressure rating. Nuts and boltsmust also be of the correct materials of construction, temperature rating andtensile strength. Gaskets required for the job must be of the correct size andmaterials of construction. A blind may have a gasket installed on both sides buta minimum of one gasket should be installed on the pressure side of the blind.

Verify that lines and equipment have been depressured and drained. Ensure thatdrain valves are open by using proper rod-out equipment. Note: In thosecircumstances that the system is not able to be verified to be pressure, liquid orgas free, the following personal protective equipment shall be used:

-  Hard Hat

-  Chemical / Impact Goggles

-  Face Shield

-  Tyvek Suits

-  Gloves

-  Steel Toed Shoes

When available a nitrogen purge should be used to purge the hydrocarbon vaporfrom a vessel or line.

J11.5

Inspect the area above, below and adjacent to the work area (at least 35 feet inall directions) for any potential hazards, people, equipment or operations thatcould adversely affect the work to be performed or could be adversely affectedby the work. Take the appropriate precautions (i.e., barricade the area, cover

equipment and cable trays, stop all hot work, etc.)

 A Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA), Lockout / Tagout and theFacility’s Permit systems shall be implemented prior to the beginning of theblinding or line opening procedure.

Breaking of the Flanged Joint 

Ensure all employees have the correct Personal Protective Equipment dictatedby the circumstances. When opening flanges suspected to contain toxic gases,self-contained breathing apparatus or supplied air respirator with an egress bottle

is to be worn unless it has been definitely established through testing that notoxic gases are present.

Ensure a containment system (i.e. bucket, drip pan, etc.) is placed underneaththe flange to capture any trapped liquid.

To remove flange bolting, the employee should loosen only one bolt at a timestarting with the bolt down and away from the workers, so any sudden releasewill be directed away from any personnel. Note: Should any trapped liquid orpressure is experienced, the task shall be shut down and the system shall bereevaluated to ensure the system is properly isolated. Remove the entire flangebolting except for a minimum of two (2), then loosen these bolts withoutcompletely removing the nuts, and spread the flanges to install the blind.

Note: When vapors are present and cannot be eliminated, brass equipment (i.e.hammers, wedges, etc.) shall be used to eliminate the potential for sparks to beproduced while opening the process equipment or line.

Installation of Blinds 

The flanges should only be open a minimum length of time consistent with thesafe installation of the blind.

Blinds will be installed at the flange closest to the vessel, tank or equipmentunder consideration.

When vessels or process equipment is interconnected in such a way that blindingof each is not possible or practical, the combination is to be considered as onevessel. The combination will be appropriately blinded and prepared as a unit.

J11.6

When it is necessary for personnel to climb onto the tops of fixed-roof storagetanks to install blinds, scaffolding shall be used to minimize the likelihood thatpersonnel might step through a weak spot.

Blinds should be tagged with the location of the blind, the person installing the

blind, and the date the blind was installed.

Upon completion of the job, clean up the work area; notify your First LineSupervisor, so any related permits may be cancelled.
