17. ASSEMBLY OF STEEL STRUCTURES
The security standards for the assembly of the steel structures shall be according to the laws and regulations for the assembly of steel.
All the workers, including people in charge of connecting and exterior finishings, should be protected from falling from altitudes greater than 6 feet (1.8 m).
Procedures of multiple lifting are prohibited (Christmas tree).
The use of a controlled mezzanine zone is prohibited.
A competent person should visually inspect the cranes used in the steel assembly activity before each shift. The inspection should include the observation of deficiencies during operation. The inspection should be in writing and be on site. The deficiencies that constitute a risk require that the lifting equipment be removed from service until the deficiency is corrected.
At the end of the shift or when the environmental conditions or of the work site require, the metal tops or coverings should be secured from being displaced.
The metal cover should be retrieved and immediately secured until it can be replaced to prevent accidental movements or displacements.
Metallic mesh, exterior triply or any equivalent should be installed around the columns where the covers are not well adjusted. The materials used provide protection from falling and avoid that the objects fall.
All the columns should have a minimum of 4 anchors.
The anchors should not be repaired, replaced, or modified in the field without the approval of the engineer in charge of the registry of the structural project.
18. WRITTEN PROGRAMS
The contractor should implement a specific health and security plan for the site for each of the locations of the project.
The contractor should implement a disciplinary program.
The contractor should have a risks communication program in writing for all the chemical products being brought to the site.
An evacuation plan that includes a meeting area should be placed at the project. The evacuation drills or practices and tests of the alarms can occur periodically.
The contractor should submit the plans of Lockout Tagout of the alarms and for confined spaces (if applicable.)
19. EVACUATION PLAN
An evacuation plan shows us the steps in a simple and comprehensive way that all the personnel should follow when an emergency evacuation has to take place.
Emergency exits are the doors distributed throughout the company that allow for a fast and secure evacuation in an emergency situation.
The evacuation route is the path assigned for evacuation in a fast and secure way.
The evacuation alarm is the sound emitted that indicates that the evacuation has begun.
The Counting Area is the designated place for safe meeting in case of an evacuation, where we should go and remain there until we are informed to go back to the plant.
Responsibilities:
You should always have the closest emergency exit in mind, as well as an alternate route.
When you hear the evacuation signal, maintain calm and evacuate immediately.
You should go to the counting area that corresponds to you and for no reason be separated from your group.
You should maintain calm and disciplined, and obey all the indications of your supervisor.
You should be attentive and verify your registry in the counting of your company.
You should not use you automobile, only if it is indicated by the Security of the plant.
You should return to the company only when it is indicated.
When evacuating the site in an emergency, for our security, we should not:
Run
Push each other
Make jokes
Go back
Leave the counting area
Scream phrases that generate nervousness or panic
Use the telephone
Distract others
20. RISK COMUNICATIONS
The NOM-018-STPS-2000. System is for the identification and communication of risks and dangers from dangerous chemical substances in the work centers and was created as an alternative for the solution of many risk problems caused by the inadequate management of these substances.
There is a general responsibility to provide security to the workers in the companies. The communication of risks from chemical substances is an essential part of this responsibility, and all the workers should be trained to recognize any type of potential risk of the different chemical products in the procedures of operations and to know what the EPP requires and how to use it correctly.
Dangerous chemical substances: When managed, transported, stored or processed, and because of their physical and chemical properties, the dangerous chemical substances present the possibility of health risks, of inflammability, reaction or of other special occurrences and can affect the health of the people who are exposed or cause material damage to the installations.
Contractor: An outsourced employer or worker that is working temporarily at the work center and that is involved directly or indirectly with the process and because of his work can add or increase risk factors.
The system for the identification and communication of risks and dangers from dangerous chemical substances is complemented with a security sign and can be used according to the employer’s decision; these can be the rectangular model or the rhombus model and these must comply with the indications and identification of the information about the types
and risks levels and the EPP can be identified in which the information about the types and levels of risks and the EPP can be identified in a very simple way by all the personnel. The system includes the Security Data Sheet (SDS) that allows us to obtain more information about the substances.
Levels of Risks
Risk: Probability of a dangerous chemical substance that can harm the health of the workers or damage the work center.
Risk of inflammability: Probability that the chemical substances have of provoking a burning sensation in relation to its physical and chemical properties.
Risk of reactivity: Probability that the chemical substances have to liberate energy when they are in contact with other chemical substances, and that these may vary when modifying the conditions of pressure and temperature.
Security Data Sheet
Information about the necessary security conditions relative to the dangerous chemical substances that work as a basis for the written programs of communication of dangers and risks.
The SDS is a guide for the security, hygiene, and response for emergencies in the work place.
There should be a SDS for each of the dangerous chemical substances that are being used and be permanently available for the workers involved in their use so they can have immediate information to manage preventive or corrective measures at work.
21. MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF RESIDUES
Management of Dangerous and Non-Dangerous Residues
DANGEROUS RESIDUES:
All of those residues, in any physical state (liquid, solid or gas), that because of their corrosive, reagent, explosive, toxic, inflammable or biological-infectious characteristics (CRETIB) represent a danger to health and to the ecological equilibrium or the environment
NON-DANGEROUS RESIDUES:
This refers to those residues that do not have any dangerous characteristics (CRETIB), and that they do not represent a health danger.
The residues are classified as DANGEROUS if they present the following Codes: CRETIB
Corrosive
Reagent
Explosive
Toxic
Inflammable
Biological/Infectious
Containers to be used for the disposal of the dangerous and non- dangerous residues
New Containers
Containers that have contained the same type of material
Containers that have contained materials that are compatible with the residue to be disposed. (In these cases, any type of inscription and/or label that the container may have should be eliminated to avoid confusion).
The container can be metallic or plastic and the top cover should be a removable metallic or sealed cover, as applicable.
It should be in good condition (free from oxidations, dents or incomplete).
When containers with top covers and rings are being used to dispose of liquids, plastic bags can be used in the interior of the tank, but it is not a requirement.
22. PERMISSION FOR CUTTING AND WELDING
The purpose of this procedure is that every activity of cutting and welding should be authorized by the Security Department.
There must be a control over these types of work (cutting and welding), since these represent a potential risk of fire in our plant and above all in those areas where there is a high risk because flammable substances are being used, as: Solvents, Paints, Flammable Liquids, a great majority of them.
With the strict application of the prevention rules of this procedure, we can control and eliminate the risk of fire.
Authorization for the activities of cutting or welding in:
High levels, basements, and confined spaces, controlled areas with the presence of chemical or explosive substances and those not specifically designated for these activities.
The authorization should at least contain the following:
-
