The RE may stop any operation which is in violation of the OSHA standards or fails to comply with the safety plan or other safe work practices.

H. Designated Foreman - When any construction activity is conducted at the site, the presence of a designated, competent contractor’s foreman is required at the job site. The foreman must be qualified and capable of organizing and coordinating all activities of the Contractor and his subcontractors, and keeping a safe job site.

I. Work Force – The Contractor shall at all times, when construction activities are conducted, have a substantial number of workers for each task to proceed expeditiously and without generating delay, for lack of man-power.

J. Crystalline Silica Exposure – Gravel and concrete dusts likely contain silica. If any work producing silica dust is conducted, applicable work activities shall comply with the OSHA “Occupational Exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica” Final Rule, 1926.1153.

OSHA CFR 1926.101.

L. Trenching or Excavation Operations – OSHA defines an excavation as any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the earth’s surface formed by earth removal. A trench is defined as a narrow underground excavation that is deeper than it is wide, and is no wider than 15 feet. Trenching must be overseen by a competent person trained on OSHA regulations for excavations, trenches, and soil mechanics. Utilities must be located, and protective systems must be in place (trench boxes, sloping) if necessary OSHA CFR 1926.650.

M. COVID Precaution - Ongoing COVID-19 concerns require the use of face protection and social distancing methods. Personnel should wash their hands regularly and maintain a minimum of six (6) feet of distance from other persons. Given the potential close working conditions of that this project requires, within the LOC facility, personnel should be limited inside the facility to achieve virus protection and safety.
