Number of Workers: All on-site personnel

Required PPE and Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment

• Hard Hat: ANSI Z89.1 Type I or Type II compliant hard hat to protect against head injuries from falling objects, impact, and penetration.
  • Inspect for cracks, dents, or damage before each use.
  • Ensure a proper fit and adjust the suspension system accordingly.
• Safety Glasses: ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety glasses with side shields to protect eyes from dust, debris, and chemical splashes.
  • Inspect for scratches or damage before each use.
  • Ensure proper fit and coverage.
• Work Gloves: Appropriate work gloves (e.g., leather, nitrile) to protect hands from cuts, abrasions, and chemical exposure, depending on the task.
  • Inspect for punctures, tears, or chemical permeation before each use.
  • Select the appropriate glove material for the specific task and potential hazards.
• Steel-Toed Boots: ANSI Z41 compliant steel-toed boots to protect feet from impact, compression, and puncture hazards.
  • Inspect for damage to the steel toe cap and sole before each use.
  • Ensure proper fit and ankle support.
• High-Visibility Vest: ANSI 107 Class 2 or 3 high-visibility vest to ensure visibility in low-light conditions and around moving equipment.
  • Inspect for tears, fading, or contamination before each use.
  • Ensure the vest is clean and reflective.

Tools and Equipment

• Inspection Checklists: Standardized checklists for equipment inspection to ensure thoroughness and consistency.
  • Ensure checklists are up-to-date and relevant to the equipment being inspected.
  • Train personnel on how to properly use the checklists.
• Measuring Tools: Measuring tools such as rulers, tape measures, and gauges for assessing equipment dimensions and wear.
  • Calibrate measuring tools regularly to ensure accuracy.
  • Use the appropriate tool for the specific measurement required.
• Hand Tools: Basic hand tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers for minor adjustments and repairs during inspection.
  • Inspect hand tools for damage or wear before each use.
  • Use the correct tool for the job to prevent damage or injury.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection, to be worn during equipment inspection.
  • Ensure PPE is in good condition and properly fitted.
  • Replace damaged or worn PPE immediately.

Hazard Analysis

Identified Hazards

Control Measures

• Use standardized checklists to ensure thoroughness and consistency.: Implement a comprehensive equipment inspection program with documented procedures and regular schedules.
• Provide training on proper PPE selection, use, and maintenance.: Ensure all personnel wear appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and steel-toed boots, during inspection activities.
• Implement a housekeeping program to address spills, debris, and other hazards.: Maintain clear and unobstructed walkways and work areas to prevent slips, trips, and falls.
• Ensure all containers are properly labeled and safety data sheets (SDS) are readily available.: Provide training on hazard communication and safe handling practices for hazardous materials.
• Establish clear communication protocols between equipment operators and ground personnel.: Use spotters and implement traffic control measures to minimize the risk of struck-by incidents.
• Provide adjustable equipment, encourage frequent breaks, and train personnel on proper lifting techniques.: Implement ergonomic principles to minimize strain and fatigue during inspection activities.

Emergency Procedures
