New Standard Aimed at Public Safety Around Construction Sites Occupational Hazards
The A10.34 standard was approved by ANSI on Aug. 11, 2001, and will be published by ASSE during May 2004. The standard establishes necessary elements of a public hazard control plan, covering such issues as cutting, welding, forming and pouring concrete, blasting or pile-driving, hoisting, shoring and other activities that can jeopardize public safety.
The standard also covers preventing falling objects from harming the public by using barricades or nets; guarding the public from cranes, motor vehicles, barges or other machinery and equipment; alerting the public of loud impact noises from construction equipment; making sure that walkways near construction sites are both accessible and safe; properly storing hazardous materials and substances; assessing structures before drilling or trenching takes place; and developing emergency action plans at sites under construction. An appendix to the published standard is included, which features a sample non-mandatory public hazard protection plan checklist.------------------------------------------- posted 7:58 AM :: reference link ::
