Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 <br /> <br />156 <br /> <br /> Avoid using power tools in wet areas. <br /> <br />Debris Reducing Machinery (Grinders/Wood Chippers) <br /> Do not wear loose-fitting clothing. <br /> Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety instructions. <br /> Guard the feed and discharge ports. <br /> Do not open access doors while equipment is running. <br /> Always chock the trailer wheels to restrict rolling. <br /> Maintain safe distances. <br /> Never reach into operating equipment. <br /> Use lock out/tag out protocol when maintaining equipment. <br /> <br />DMS/Disposal Operations <br /> Use jersey barriers and cones to properly mark traffic patterns. <br /> Use proper flagging techniques for directing traffic. <br /> Monitor towers must not exit into traffic and should have hand and guard rails to reduce <br />trips and falls. <br /> Monitor towers must have properly constructed access stairways with proper treads <br />and risers and proper ascent angle (4:1 height/width ratio). <br /> Monitor towers must be surrounded by jersey barriers which protect the tower and <br />monitors from being struck by inbound or outbound collection vehicles. <br /> Monitor towers should be located upwind from dust- and particulate generating <br />activities. <br /> A water truck should spray the site daily to control airborne dust and debris. <br /> <br />5. Personal Protective Equipment <br />Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the last resort to providing a safe working environment <br />for workers. PPE does not eliminate or even reduce hazards as administrative and engineering <br />controls do. PPE works to reduce the risk of injury by creating a protective barrier between the <br />individuals and work place hazards. <br /> <br />Proper use of PPE includes using PPE for its intended purpose. For example, using the wrong <br />type of respirator might expose the worker to carcinogenic particulates. Properly fitting the <br />equipment to the user may require examination by a medical professional. PPE that does not fit <br />well will not provide maximum protection and will decrease the likelihood of the individual <br />continuing to use the equipment. In addition, improper use may result in serious injury or death. <br />The proper use of the equipment is outlined in detail in the manufacturer’s instructions. <br /> <br />The following PPE may be applicable in standard ROW, Right-of-Entry (ROE), and vegetative <br />and construction & demolition debris removal activities: <br /> Head Protection – Equipment designed to provide protection for an individual’s head <br />against hazards such as falling objects or the possibility of striking one’s head against low
