Proper and Safe Use of Scissor Lifts

Here are some important tips to help ensure that you use scissor lifts properly:

Close the platforms doors or chains. Never exceed the load-capacity limits of the manufacturer. Prevent unauthorized usage such as by locking the aerial lift Get written permission from the manufacturer of the scissor lift before making modifications Keep the operators manual at the job site Use signs and cones to create work-zone warnings near high traffic areas Use proper restraining devices when required Implement correct fall-protection for operators 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) for establishing and maintaining tool install/clean room safety programs during the installation of process equipment in a technology or manufacturing environment. 2. SCOPE 2.1. All CP&E projects that involve tool install activities. As the project transitions from base build to tool install, the emphasize needs to turn to tool install and clean room safety. 3. PROCEDURES/EXPECTATIONS 3.1. The tool install safety program is divided into a number of elements: 3.2. Subcontract Contracting - Ensure the unique nature of working in a clean room and around charged systems are clearly communicated during the contracting phase of tool install. Specific procedures, training and equipment will different from standard construction safety. Review subcontractor EHS programs to verify they have worked in this environment and have addressed it in their EHS programs and work practices. 3.3. Training - Initial construction safety 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 modifying the exiting construction safety orientation to address these unique hazards and

expected co-occupancy issues. Depending on the timing of the change the OP ready message can also be added to the package at the same time. 3.4. Procedures - Equipment related procedures need to be in place to ensure process support systems are leak/pressure tested before systems can be turned over for use. A signage system to identify when systems are charged needs to be put in place at the same time. Specific lock and tag protocols for electrically energized or charged systems with chemicals needs to be put in place. 3.5. Work Coordination - As systems are charged and future points of connection need to be made, some type of work coordination meeting needs to be in place. This may be satisfied through the SIPP process. 3.5.1. Specific Safety Procedures - Specific safety procedures need to be put in place as the tool install process takes place. This can include some of the following items: 3.5.1.1. Ladder use (fall protection) in clean rooms 3.5.1.2. Working under the raised floor 3.5.1.3. Use of scissors lifts 3.5.1.4. Energized electrical work 3.5.1.5. Confined 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 of tape, cones, handrails and toe boards 3.5.1.11. Hazardous materials 4. ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1. Projects EHS Representative - Participate in the development of the contracting strategy for 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 safety committees (MAC, SLT). 4.2. General Contractor - The general contractor shall be prepared to demonstrate their EHS program capability by way of past projects. This would be specific to tool install and clean room safety. The overall program shall include the injury free workplace philosophy along with EHS programs that are outlined above. Specific information needs to be provided in the area of training, work place monitoring, equipment and indicators. Hold safety 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 safe as possible. They will provide the general contractor an overview of

their training programs and procedures. They will include a copy of their training records for 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 safety 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.
