Proper and Safe Use of Scissor Lifts

Here are some important tips to help ensure that you use scissor lifts properly:
O Close the platform's doors or chains.
O Never exceed the load-capacity limits of the manufacturer.
O Prevent unauthorized usage such as by locking the aerial lift
O Get written permission from the manufacturer of the scissor lift before making modifications
O Keep the operator's manual at the job site
O Use signs and cones to create work-zone warnings near high traffic areas
O Use proper restraining devices when required
O mplement correct fall-protection for operators
O Never lean over or climb on the guardrails

TOOL INSTALL/CLEAN ROOM SAFETY

1. OBJECTIVE
1.1. This document will outline the best know methods (BKM) Ior establishing and
maintaining tool install/clean room saIety programs during the installation oI process
equipment in a technology or manuIacturing environment.

2. SCOPE
2.1. All CP&E projects that involve tool install activities. As the project transitions Irom
base build to tool install, the emphasize needs to turn to tool install and clean room
saIety.

3. PROCEDURES/EXPECTATIONS
3.1. The tool install saIety program is divided into a number oI elements:

3.2. Subcontract Contracting - Ensure the unique nature oI working in a clean room and
around charged systems are clearly communicated during the contracting phase oI tool
install. SpeciIic procedures, training and equipment will diIIerent Irom standard
construction saIety. Review subcontractor EHS programs to veriIy they have worked in
this environment and have addressed it in their EHS programs and work practices.

3.3. Training - Initial construction saIety orientation training should be replaced with
training that will emphasize the unique hazards associated with operating clean rooms
and associated utility and process support systems. This can be accomplished by
modiIying the exiting construction saIety orientation to address these unique hazards and
expected co-occupancy issues. Depending on the timing oI the change the OP ready
message can also be added to the package at the same time.

3.4. !rocedures - Equipment related procedures need to be in place to ensure process
support systems are leak/pressure tested beIore systems can be turned over Ior use. A
signage system to identiIy when systems are charged needs to be put in place at
the same time. SpeciIic lock and tag protocols Ior electrically energized or charged
systems with chemicals needs to be put in place.

3.5. Work Coordination - As systems are charged and Iuture points oI connection
need to be made, some type oI work coordination meeting needs to be in place. This
may be satisIied through the SIPP process.
3.5.1. Specific Safety !rocedures - SpeciIic saIety procedures need to be put in
place as the tool install process takes place. This can include some oI the
Iollowing items:
3.5.1.1. Ladder use (Iall protection) in clean rooms
3.5.1.2. Working under the raised Iloor
3.5.1.3. Use oI scissors liIts
3.5.1.4. Energized electrical work
3.5.1.5. ConIined spaces
3.5.1.6. PPE
3.5.1.7. Working in and around charged utility systems
3.5.1.8. Material handling
3.5.1.9. Lock out/ tag out
3.5.1.10. Barricades, use oI tape, cones, handrails and toe boards
3.5.1.11. Hazardous materials

4. ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1. !rofects EHS Representative - Participate in the development oI the contracting
strategy Ior the tool install general contractor. Ensure the general uses the BKM
contacting selection criteria when developing their bidding lists. Monitor the pre-bid
meetings to ensure the subcontractors clearly understand the unique environment they
will be asked to work in. Ensure contractor senior managers participate on site and chair
the various saIety committees (MAC, SLT).

4.2. General Contractor - The general contractor shall be prepared to demonstrate their
EHS program capability by way oI past projects. This would be speciIic to tool install
and clean room saIety. The overall
program shall include the injury Iree workplace philosophy along with EHS programs
that are outlined above. SpeciIic inIormation needs to be provided in the area oI training,
work place monitoring, equipment and indicators. Hold saIety meetings as needed.

4.3. Sub-contractors - When bidding the work they will address EHS specially in both
programs and dollars to ensure they can adequately support the necessary training,
personnel protective equipment and specialty equipment/materials they will need to make
their work as saIe as possible. They will provide the general contractor an overview oI
their training programs and procedures. They will include a copy oI their training records
Ior specialized training that will not be provided on the project. The subcontractor will
monitor the work area on a continues basis and work to eliminate and obvious hazards.
Each task will be support through planning and coordination with other subcontractors.
Hold saIety meetings as needed.

4.4. Site EHS - Participate in the various training and coordination meetings. This may
include the MAC, SLT, incident reviews as needed.
