1.10.1 Appropriate emergency rescue equipment (e.g., breathing apparatus, full-
body harness and lifeline, basket stretcher) shall be readily available during
work.

1.10.2 A standby man shall be in attendance until the work is completed for any
excavation that has been determined to be a confined space (see Chapter I-
6, Confined Spaces).

1.10.3 A fire watch shall remain in place any time an ignition source (e.g.,
welding, cutting) is present in the excavation and for 30 minutes after the
ignition source has been removed.

1.10.4 Personnel entering bell-bottom pier holes or other similar deep and
confined excavations shall wear a full-body harness with a lifeline attached
to it. The lifeline shall be separate from any line used to handle materials
and shall be individually attended at all times while the employee wearing
the lifeline is in the excavation. Mechanical devices shall be available on
site to lift incapacitated workers from the excavation.

1.11.1 Whenever it is necessary to place or operate power shovels, derricks,
trucks, materials, soil banks or other heavy objects near an excavation, the sides of the excavation shall be sheet-piled, shored and braced as necessary
to safely resist the extra pressure.

1.11.2 Only excavating and backfilling equipment (trackhoes, rock breakers,
backhoes, front loaders, etc.) are permitted within 2 m (6.5 ft) of the edge
of an excavation.

1.11.3 Motor vehicles, cranes and heavy equipment shall be kept away from the
edge of the excavation a distance of 2 m (6.5 ft) or the depth of the
excavation, whichever is greatest, unless the excavation is in stable rock or
is protected against collapse by shoring that has been designed or approved
by a degreed civil/structural engineer (see Section 1.7 and Figure 1.10).

1.11.4 Hard barricades (e.g., concrete or water-filled plastic “jersey” barriers,
metal fencing) shall be used to keep motor vehicles, cranes and heavy
equipment at the proper distance away from the excavation.

1.11.5 When use of hard barriers is impractical inside a fenced SA plant area (i.e.,
does not involve public access), vehicular traffic near the excavation shall
be controlled by flagmen and the excavation shall be flagged with caution
tape and well lit for night (see GI 1021.000).

1.11.6 Pedestrian barricades shall be placed no less than 1 m (3 ft) from the edge
of the excavation.
