# PROGRAM DIRECTIVE (cont.) ## Citation Guidance associated with Step C, 29 CFR 1926.651(b)(3) - Compliance with determining the exact locations of underground installations by safe and acceptable means. (cont.) including the depth, of underground utility installations can be determined by "potholing". Potholing is an investigating method used to carefully excavate small vertical test holes from the surface to a buried utility line to expose and visually verify the specific location and depth. Oregon OSHA regulations do not dictate how frequently or far apart an employer must pothole; It is performance based. There have been many examples of utility installation damages that have occurred as the result of the employer attempting to excavate the portion of utility between two potholes with a powered track hoe excavator that were fifty feet apart. In these examples of damages, a common cause was that the excavator assumed the utility was horizontally level and without fluctuation in depth or containing any irregularities such as capped off "T" fittings from previous service lines that had been disconnected. The excavator operator, working off those assumptions, scrapped soil away at a rate of a few inches pure bucket cycle, snagging the capped off “T” rising above the utility, resulting in damage and a release of natural gas. Safe and acceptable means used when the excavation approaches the estimated utility location or while potholing to determine the exact location of underground installations include the following methods: a) Hand digging. This method of potholing utilizes hand tools that are used with appropriate investigative caution. Tools, such as shovels and trowels, are typically used to manually uncover and remove material at a cautionary exploratory rate of an inch or two at a time. Constant attention and care need to be taken to prevent damage to utilities during the exploratory potholing process. Non- conductive hand tools and insulated probes are per…

# BEST PRACTICES FOR VACUUM LIFT SYSTEMS (cont.) ## Pre Operation: (cont.) • A discussion between supervisory personnel and operators takes place to allow for pre-planning of the work to be done, including operation of the vacuum lifting system. All personnel should have a thorough understanding of the job site. • The equipment available for use at the jobsite is appropriately sized and rated for the job. - A job safety analysis (JSA) is conducted to determine individual job responsibilities and all related safety concerns. Potential hazards must be identified and addressed. • Operators read and understand the operator's manual prior to equipment use. Keep the operator's manual with the equipment at all times so it is available to the personnel operating the vacuum- lifting system. • Locate all overhead lines, and maintain the designated minimum clearance distance found in OSHA'S regulations at 29 CFR 1926.1408. Always use a spotter. - All maintenance and inspections, as indicated in the operator's manual have been performed and are up to date. Only qualified individuals are authorized to service the equipment, including pad replacement. • Remove damaged or defective equipment from service. • Have a portable fire extinguisher that is fully charged and available for use Make sure all designated personnel are trained on its proper use. • Operators and ground personnel establish the designated method of communication before starting work. • Personnel are supplied and trained on the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as required for the task, such as hard hats, safety glasses, reflective vest, safety-toed shoes, gloves, hearing protection and protective clothing. - Make sure all warning labels are legible. If any are missing or illegible, replace them prior to the operation of the equipment.

# What types of PPE may be necessary? Your hazard assessment should determine if your employees need any of the following types of PPE: - Eye and face protection ◆ Fall protection - Foot protection • Hand/general skin protection - Head protection • Hearing protection • Leg protection ● Personal floatation device • Respiratory protection • Torso/general body protection ## How to do a PPE hazard assessment ## Do a baseline survey to identify workplace hazards A baseline survey is a thorough evaluation of your entire workplace - including work processes, tasks, and equipment - that identifies safety and health hazards. A complete survey will tell you what the hazards are, where they are, and how severe a potential injury could be. ## Suggestions: Use safety data sheets (SDS) to identify chemical hazards. A safety data sheet has detailed information about a hazardous chemical's health effects, its physical and chemical characteristics, and safe handling practices. Review equipment owner and operator manuals to determine the manufacturer's safety warnings and recommended PPE. Conduct a job-hazard analysis (JHA) - a method of identifying, assessing, and controlling hazards associated with specific jobs. A JHA breaks down a job into tasks. You evaluate each task to determine if there is a safer way to do it. A job-hazard analysis works well for jobs with difficult-to-control hazards and jobs with histories of accidents or near misses. JHAS for complex jobs can take a considerable amount of time and expertise to develop. You may want to have a safety professional help you. Have an experienced safety professional survey your workplace with you. 4

# Trenching and Excavation (cont.) ## What are the hazards associated with trenching and excavation? (cont.) - Contact with buried service lines such as electrical, natural gas, water, sewage, telecommunications, etc. - Contact with overhead electrical lines. - Slips, trips and falls as workers climb on and off equipment, or from inappropriate access and egress methods. - Being struck by moving machinery, or by falling or flying objects. - Hazards related to materials handling (e.g., lifting, struck by, crushed between, etc.). ## What is meant by soil types? Definitions of soil types vary by jurisdiction in Canada. In addition, some jurisdictions have not defined soil types, but do require preventative measures when an excavation reaches a certain depth or proportion. When a soil type is defined, the purpose is to try to identify or predict the potential for the soil to move and cause a collapse while the work is being done. Soil types typically use a scale of 1 to 4 where 1 is hard and dense to 4 which is loose, soft, wet or muddy soil, or a scale of A to C where A is hard and solid, and C is soft, sandy, filled or loose. The soil type is determined by the characteristics of the soil's consistency, ease of removal, appearance, ability to excavate with hand tools vs. machine, water seepage, whether the soil has been excavated before, etc. ## What should occur before beginning an excavation? The employer or supervisor is responsible for the work, and must take the necessary steps to identify all the hazards and risks before beginning any work. These steps include to: - Identify the soil type(s) related to the excavation or trench you are going to dig. Soil properties often vary widely within a single trench (e.g., the soil type changes from top to bottom and along the length of a trench). - Look for the legislative requirements that apply in your jurisdiction and the type of protective measures to be taken. - Locate all buried services.
