Authorized employees are required use the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect exposed body parts from coming into contact with the bodily fluids. Wash hands with soap and water immediately following any possible contamination of BBP s Report any possible bodily fluid exposure to your supervisor and safety immediately

16 Employees are not allowed to lift 75 lbs or more by themselves.(get HELP) Awkward or unbalanced loads even when they are less than 75 lbs can be difficult to handle by yourself. To prevent back injuries: Plan jobs so that material and tools only need to be moved once. Lift with your legs not with your back Keep your back straight Ask someone to help Use lifting equipment or mechanical equipment Never lift 75 lbs or more without another person who is able to properly assist you.

47 What are the potential adverse Health Effects? Workplace exposure to hexavalent chromium may cause the following health effects: Lung cancer in workers who breathe airborne hexavalent chromium Irritation or damage to the nose, throat, and lung (respiratory tract) if hexavalent chromium is breathed at high levels Irritation or damage to the eyes and skin if hexavalent chromium contacts these organs in high concentrations.

48 All guards must be left on and in working condition on all tools being used on the jobsite All tools must be double insulated or have a working ground pin Any damaged tools must be taken out of service and tagged out to prevent them from being used by someone else Use the right tool for the job and do not use a tool for an operations other then what it was made for

49 Designated Operators will be selected and trained on equipment they are supposed to operate NO employee will operate a piece of equipment they have not been trained and authorized to use 100% Seat Belt Policy If the equipment has a seat belt on it, then it needs to be used! Follow all site specific speed limits

50 All employees must be properly trained on best practices in rigging. This can be done in the field. No employees will be rigging until the foreman feels comfortable that they understand the basics of rigging

51 All rigging on the jobsite must have a tag on it and be in good working condition All rigging must be put out of service if it has cuts or does not pass inspection

52 At Simon we use cranes for multiple applications from rigging, pile driving and many other construction methods

53 At no time will anyone that is not qualified operate a crane Pre-inspection must be completed before any crane on a Simon site can operate All employees must be aware of the hazards that are around cranes

54 All ladders must be inspected prior to use. All ladders must extend a minimum of 36 above the landing and must be tied or blocked to prevent displacement. Employees must maintain THREE POINTS OF CONTACT at all times. Do not carry material or tools during climbing. Must use a hoist line. All step ladders must be used in a open and locked position. REMEMBER do not lean a step ladder against anything for use or storage.

55 Do not use the TOP TWO steps of a ladder. All extension ladders must be used on a 4:1 ratio. For every 4 feet up, the base must be 1 foot out. A ladder climbing device, such as a retractable, shall be used for a vertical climb 24 feet or greater where there is no cage around the ladder. Damaged, or Broken Ladders are not to be used on the jobsite.

56 ALL trash and excess material to be maintained on an AS YOU GO BASIS. It is everyone s responsibility to pick-up after themselves and maintain good housekeeping. Walkways must be kept clean of trash and other construction material. Cords and leads should be elevated off the ground at all times to reduce tripping hazards. All chemicals must be properly disposed of.

57 WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT WHAT IS A FIRE WHAT DO I DO IF A FIRE STARTS ON MY JOB SITE

58 Fire Safety, at its most basic, is based upon the principle of keeping fuel sources and ignition sources separate.

59 Three things must be present at the same time to produce fire: 1. Enough OXYGEN to sustain combustion 2. Enough HEAT to reach ignition temperature 3. Some FUEL or combustible material Together, they produce the CHEMICAL REACTION that is fire Take away any of these things and the fire will be extinguished

60 Class A: Wood, paper, cloth, trash, plastics solids that are not metals. Class B: Flammable liquids gasoline, oil, grease, acetone. Includes flammable gases. Class C: Electrical energized electrical equipment. As long as it s plugged in. Class D: Metals potassium, sodium, aluminum, magnesium. Requires special extinguishing agents.

61 It s easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you remember the acronym PASS: Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep

62 Do not fight the fire if: You don t have adequate or appropriate equipment. If you don t have the correct type or large enough extinguisher, it is best not to try fighting the fire. You might inhale toxic smoke. When synthetic materials such as the nylon in carpeting or foam padding in a sofa burn, they can produce hydrogen cyanide, acrolein, and ammonia in addition to carbon monoxide. These gases can be fatal in very small amounts. Your instincts tell you not to. If you are uncomfortable with the situation for any reason, just let the fire department do their job.

63 Report any use of a fire extinguisher to your supervisor as soon as possible. The extinguisher must be inspected and refilled to make sure it is ready for use in an emergency.

64

65 Hydrate at night, maintain during the day! Drink lots of water, very little or NO sports drinks or energy drinks.

66 Employees need to let the supervisor know if they are not feeling well or starting to get cramps If you are feeling light headed you need to let your supervisor know as well.

67 No smoking in the shops, excavations, pits, trenches, fueling, vehicles, closed cab machines, Simon vehicles. All jobs must establish a smoking location

68 DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT IT IS?

69 A Job Hazard Analysis (JSA) is one of the risk assessment tools used to identify and control workplace hazards.

70 All jobs at the start of the day must have a completed JHA All visitors on a Simon job site must sign the JHA before entering the job If the job changes you must go back to the JHA and reevaluate the job hazard and update the JHA..

71 All sub contractors will meet or exceed Simons safety expectations on all Simon locations. At no time will any sub contractor violate any safety rule while on a Simon project

72 When it comes to managing environmental services, Simon has a robust program that focuses on the highest environmental compliance standards. Taking green to the next level is not only a good business practice, but the right thing to do

73 Environmental is a never ending journey just like safety. Please be mindful of your work area: Report all spills to your supervisor Clean up after yourself All jobs have spill prevention plans. Please review this and make sure we follow it and our good stewards to the area.

74 Cell phone use is prohibited during any operation of equipment. Smoking is prohibited inside buildings. Employees can smoke outside in designated areas.

75 REMEMBER: Safety is YOUR responsibility. You can always stop a job if it is unsafe regardless of your position or title. We all have the responsibility to look out for ourselves and each other. With all of us working as a team we can achieve safety success.
