Compactor Operation, cont.
b) Restoring the compactor to service. When the servicing or maintenance is completed and the compactor is ready to return to
normal operating condition, the following steps shall be taken:
1. Check the machine or equipment and the immediate area around the machine or equipment to ensure that all nonessential
items have been removed and the machine or equipment components are operationally intact.
2. Check the work area to insure that all employees have been safely positioned or removed from the area.
3. Verify that the controls are in neutral.
4. Remove the lockout devices and re-energize the machine of equipment.
NOTE: The removal of some forms of blocking may require re-energizing of the machine before safe removal.
5. Notify affected employees that the servicing or maintenance is completed and the machine or equipment is ready for use.
6. Reassess area to determine that the equipment is safe for operation.
5. Procedures for work in confined spaces:
a) The owner/employer shall have a written procedure for work in confined spaces meeting the criteria of “permit required confined
spaces," such as integrated power units. The procedure shall utilize the manufacturer’s instructions for the hazardous energy
control (lockout/ tag-out) procedure which shall isolate and render safe energy sources, including electrical, mechanical, hydrau-
lic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal or other potential sources of energy (e.g., gravity, kinetic, etc.), which may create a hazard
during entry into each of those confined spaces
b) These instructions shall include the requirement to affix a sign to the compactor, at or near the entrances to those confined
spaces for which hazardous energy control procedures are provided, such as,
“ DANGER — Confined Space. Follow lockout/tag-out procedures .”
Safety and training program
General:
Employers shall evaluate and manage safety issues related the operation of compaction equipment as part of
their safety program
Safety Program
The employer’s program shall include at a minimum the following elements:
a) A hazard assessment in which the employer conducts a review of the various types of compaction equipment that the em-
ployer utilizes and the hazards associated with them and, review and assess the capabilities, qualifications and training of
any person who may potentially encounter these hazards.
b) An evaluation of the means and methods of controlling the hazards identified in the hazard assessment, including infor-
mation such as industry and regulatory requirements, instructions for the operation, inspection, and maintenance of com-
pactors, and other information appropriate to the hazards that are identified.
c) A written program, based upon the hazard assessment and evaluation, to include procedure for the operation, inspection,
and maintenance of compactors, prohibited practices, record keeping, training requirements, and normative references to
documents, such as operating manuals, that are relied upon and may be required as part of that program.
d) Periodic review and program revisions as necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the safety program.
General training
Employers shall ensure all employees, including supervisors, contract laborers, and all other persons engaged in the operation,
cleaning, maintenance, service or repair of compacting equipment are properly trained appropriate for their assigned jobs and tasks.
Contractors who may be engaged to operate or maintain the employer’s compactor shall be advised of the unique hazards related to
the equipment that may affect the activities in which the contractor’s employees will engage.
a) Electrical shock and arc flash boundaries;
b) Personal protective equipment to be worn;
c) Need for electrically insulated measuring equipment and other tools;
d) Other specialized work practices to be followed to perform that work safely; and
e) Requirements for the use of an Electrical Hot Work Permit.
Procedure for electrical arc flash and shock safety
1. Prior to intentionally coming into contact with energized electrical conductors or circuit parts of 50 volts or greater with the
hands, feet, or other body parts, with tools, probes (energized electrical work), a shock and hazard analysis shall be performed
to determine the safe work practices that are required to perform that work (per the requirements of ANSI/NFPA 70, National
Electrical Code) .
2.
Those safe work practices shall include the identification of the following, at a minimum:
1. Energized electrical work shall only be performed by or under the direct supervision of a trained Qualified Person.
2. All other workers performing energized electrical work shall be trained in the following, at a minimum:
a) Understanding the specific hazards associated with electrical energy;
b) Understanding the safety-related work practices and procedural requirements necessary to provide protection from the
electrical hazards associated with their respective job or task assignments; and
c)
Identifying and understanding the relationship between electrical hazards and possible injury.
