  13. Confined Space Program • Clow has a confined space program • Spaces have been evaluated for hazards • Procedures have been developed for entry into most spaces • It is imperative that Clow and the contractors work closely together for confined space entries.

  14. Confined Space Program • All entries require a permit be issued by Clow • If performing confined space work, contractors must have their own written confined space program. • Contractors may have their own permit system, however, contractors must operate under Clow’s permit program.

  15. Confined Space Program Expectations for Contractors • Personnel must be trained – entrant / attendant • Provide for their own attendants • Must have own monitoring equipment • Must have own entry equipment

  16. Hot Work Permits Hot Work – brazing, cutting, grinding, welding, burning or other spark producing work • Certain areas of the facility require a permit prior to performing hot work • Finishing / Paint Line • Cement Line • Pattern Storage Areas • Chemical Storage Areas

  17. Fall Protection Fall Protection required at 6 feet

  18. Fall Protection • Protection required for exposures greater than 6 feet off of working level if guardrails not present • Full Body Harnesses for active fall protection • Full Body Harnesses supplied by Contractor • Roof work will require Warning Lines and Safety Monitor System

  19. Task- Required Fall Protection • Manlifts / JLGs / Scissor Lifts • Ladder Work – FBH not required if: • Not off of work surface 6 feet • Working in plane of ladder • 3 points of contact

  20. Ladder Safety • Inspect ladders prior to using them • Do not use top step (or top) of step ladders • Tie top of ladders to work surface if possible • If accessing a roof, ladder must extend roof by 30”. • Fall protection may be required

  21. Roof Work • Work on roofs here is not allowed without a Roof Permit. This includes roofs in buildings. • Permit sets conditions for the work on roofs • Permit conditions must be followed

  22. Basements • Entry into basements requires the use of the “buddy system”. • No one is to work in a basement alone. • Entry into the east side of the Pipe Shop basement during production is not permitted. • The area under the annealing oven is considered a basement.

  23. GFI Protection Electrical powered hand tools require the use of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters. This is required even if the tool is double insulated and there is no water hazard.
