Sites rules

NOTE Sampling steam and condensate lines in large process plants such as smelters, pulp and paper plants, steel mills, and the like is potentially dangerous. Site rules must be followed and the use of proper safety equipment employed (safety equipment includes helmet, gloves, goggles, and occasionally a respirator). Under certain operating conditions, confined space permits and tag-out or lock-out rules may be necessary and a minimum of two persons required before work begins. 

The rules in overall decreasing order of importance essentially state that the ideal structures for carboranes will be based on most spherical deltahedra (rule 1) the BE hydrogens will tend to be placed in the lowest possible coordination environments (rule 2) when elements to the right of boron in the periodic table are incorporated into the deltahedron or deltahedral fragment, they will tend to preempt low-coordination sites (e.g., carbon) or, if electron-deficient, high coordination sites (rule 3) and, lastly, boron will eschew seven-coordinate BH or six-coordinate... 

In addition, many study sites rule that patients should be paid for their attendance at clinical examination or treatment during the study. This is roughly considered as the reimbursement of travel costs. There are no statistics on the amounts of these payments, but the majority of hospitals set a standard of about 40 for each visit, based on the protocol requirements. 

The information presented here applies to all transport of chemicals or chemical products on-site. It includes hazardous materials offered for transportation on-site, and the packaging, labeling or marking of hazardous materials for transportation on-site. Packaging and transportation safety requirements apply to the purchasers of hazardous chemicals if they subsequently transfer those chemicals to another location - for on-site transfers, site rules apply for off-site transfers, DOT rules apply. [NOTE Throughout this document, the term chemicals is used to indicate chemicals and/or chemical products as described in Section 3, below.] This chapter consolidates existing, core safety and health requirements that all sites must follow when engaged in chemical-related activities. 

This brief overview has been considered here in order to illustrate the importance of how we talk about safety. Our contemporary understandings of safety have developed and crystallised through these dominant channels - the way we perceive safety to work is highly influential, and often more so than the mundane realities of how it actually works - as well as other more specific and individual influences, and has consequently permeated through society and into its workplaces. The context of safety on construction sites is therefore made up of much more than the industry structure, ways of working and the site rules as implemented by the... 

A male roofer sits in the induction room and listens carefully, he nods in all the right places, agrees with the site rules and the fundamentals of the Incident and Injury Free (IIF) safety programme in place on site, and signs up to his method statement and risk assessments, which clearly state he will use the lanyard and harness at all times when working on the roof. A mere two hours later he is seen working on the pitch of a wet metal roof with his lanyard still attached to his harness and not to the safe anchor point a few feet away. This is an unsafe behaviour which could result in a serious, potentially fatal accident, should he lose balance, slip and fall. 

Site rules can take a variety of forms, from a typed A4 list of dos and don ts to much more sophisticated printed booklets. 

Many large contractors have distilled their site rules into professionally printed booklets to be distributed on induction, supported by posters to be put up around site. These documentary artefacts of safety are produced within a corporate rather than a site context, and are often positioned as a part of wider organisational safety management systems and safety management programmes. Such site safety guides often present the rules through the dichotomy of ... 

Whilst this could of course be a conscious and deliberate approach made by the authors - if the documentation is assumed to be operating in a reality where violations therefore do not occur, any form of punishment becomes unnecessary - the way site rules are positioned and managed by those working on sites would suggest that this is simply not the case. Indeed, site-produced documents, posters and inductions with reference to the site rules certainly include and in fact more often than not prioritise a ... 

Safety propaganda often seeks to engage with safety, even when espousing site rules, for example this corporate safety programme sign asks that its audience ... 

But the corporate voice also requires some elements of safety enforcement at times, although this is often dressed in the clothes of safety propaganda, seeking to shift enforcement from the implementation of rules through punishment to the encouragement of individuals to follow the rules of their own volition. For example, a common way of positioning the site rules in corporate site safety guides is to ask that the operatives ...

Such arrangements will include site rules (see Appendix 7.1 for an example) for the protection of members of the public, visitors and other employees. They should also cover issues such as shared facilities (e.g. the use of catering facilities) and the need for full co-operation from the occupier and his staff in the observation of health and safety rules. 

Contractors must ensure that their employees are made aware of these site rules, fire, first aid and emergency procedures. 

Arrangements will also be required for the proper induction of any sub-contractors employed on the excavation work so that they are aware of the main hazards and the site rules, including the correct use of personal protective equipment. 

The movement of vehicles must be properly managed, as must vehicle maintenance and driver training. The development of an agreed code of practice for drivers, to which all drivers should sign up, and the enforcement of site rules covering all vehicular movements are essential for effective vehicle management. 

All vehicle drivers should be properly trained on each of the vehicles which they are expected to drive. Banksmen, wearing high visibility clothing, should be used to direct movement of lorries and excavators. Site rules should cover the use of vehicles on site and site management systems should include details of each driver and renewal dates for refresher training to ensure continued driver competency. A vehicle code of practice should be issued to all drivers. This code should include... 

Some exemptions, exceptions, or variances from the hazardous wastes rules may apply to neutralents if nonstockpile CWM is remediated under the Superfund rules before being treated in the RRS and MMD. For example, the handling of wastes is exempt from the normal RCRA permitting requirements if the waste is being cleaned up pursuant to the Superfund on-site rule, which preempts all federal and state procedural permitting requirements for hazardous substances treated on a Superfund site (Section 120(e) of Superfund, 42 U.S.C. 9620(e)). Thus, the Army might try to clean up CAIS and nonstockpile chemicals under the Superfund rules.
