An NOP must be submitted for work involving the abatement, cleanup, or demolition of clandestine chemical labs. Ironically, for building management this may also be a greater problem than it sounds. "Excavation" is defined in section 20.1 as meaning any "cut, cavity, trench or depression in the earth's surface resulting from rock or soil removal." Purpose of guideline Slope Surface defense, taking due account of. Ensuring no persons occupy the house at any time during house lifting and lowering operations. Although it may not include asbestos that wasn't readily accessible (e.g., hidden behind concrete walls or under a number of layers of flooring), the inventory required by section 6.4(1) will be a useful aid in conducting the inspection and identification of hazardous materials as specified in section 20.112(2). (b) ensuring that the hazards are addressed throughout the duration of the work activities. (1) Excavated material must be kept back a minimum distance of 60 cm (2 ft) from the edge of a trench excavation and 1.2 m (4 ft) from any other excavation. In certain instances, then they hammer helical stacks into the ground. Note: Shortrigging is a condition in which one or more outriggers are not fully deployed on the side away from the boom operational area. This includes heights above and below 3 m (10 ft). The foundation for these walls is made of heavy-duty steel piles in most projects. Knowing the slope of a particular trail makes it easier for skiers to judge the danger of skiing on that trail. (1) Timber shoring materials must be lumber graded Number 2 or better from the following species groups: Douglas fir-larch, hemlock-fir, spruce-pine-fir or coast-Sitka-spruce.

Among the most popular methods used for stabilizing slopes are: Tacheometric Surveying-Methods, Errors and Precautions. A standardized house lift drawing will generally include member selection tables, schematic diagrams, design limitations and engineering specifications. Section 20.9(3) of the OHS Regulation ("Regulation") states: Protective canopies must be designed and constructed to safely support all loads that may reasonably be expected to be applied to them, but in no case less than 2.4 kPa (50 psf). 20.13 Thrust-out crane landing platforms 20.3 Coordination of multiple employer workplaces, 20.4 Safe access x 2 in. 20.43 Pipe clamps 0000001286 00000 n
Ensuring the house does not contain any unconventional structural additions, unorthodox framings, or unexpected load paths; if any such conditions exist, the employer will seek assistance from a professional engineer. Asbestos identification and recognition is a specialized skill and it is essential that the surveyor be adequately instructed, trained, and experienced in identifying materials known to, or likely to, contain asbestos. [Amended by B.C. (3) If ganged forms are being reused on the same worksite with any modification to the design or method of erection of the ganged forms, subsection (1) applies in relation to the reuse of the ganged forms. It’s all about maths and geometry. If there is risk of injury from handling coiled post-tensioning tendons a suitable coil handling device must be used. (2) If any flyform panel is not inherently stable for all possible conditions of load, special notation on the flyform application drawings and any supplementary instructions must draw attention to the procedure for obtaining stability. Where the ground slopes down and away, the concern is the lack of adequate lateral support on the downhill side for any bracing specified in section 20.81 positioned against the downhill excavation face. ); collect all layers, down to the sheathing, At least 2 samples (each layer of material must be sampled), At least 3 samples (each layer of material must be sampled), Asbestos cement (transite) board and pipe. The requirements and restrictions for those using the drawing (such as specific material or site conditions, design wind loading, specific aspects requiring higher level oversight or connection requirements). Section 20.26(1) of the Regulation is not intended to cover the use of falsework during the erection or demolition phases of structures. 20.29 Inspection and maintenance records (e) cross braces bearing on uprights or walers are located at all joints in plywood sheathing. This guideline describes different fall protection systems for work on roofs, according to the amount of slope, using the hierarchy in section 11.2 of the Regulation. Construction crews ought to be careful when operating near to sloping fields. (1) Water must not be allowed to accumulate in an excavation if it might affect the stability of the excavation or might endanger workers. Slope Surface defense, taking due account of; Greening for “the Hill. That responsibility involves doing everything that is reasonably practicable to establish and maintain the system to ensure worker safety, and to ensure that the activities of employers, workers and other persons at the workplace are coordinated. Workers are at significant risk of occupational disease if the following occurs: Section 6.59.1 of the Regulation states that an employer must ensure that a risk assessment is completed by a qualified person for the planned lead activity. 0000006743 00000 n
Obtaining locate information A drop hammer that is cracked must not be used. Excavation work that does not change the cross section of the slope Some maintenance or construction activities along a right of way may involve minor or localized excavation work that will not alter the "general" cross section profile of a slope in a manner that would affect the overall stability of the slope. This may include marking out where floor joists or trusses will be, or other activities where the worker can reasonably maintain three points of contact with the ladder. Accordingly, failing to provide or use suitable alternatives to such surfaces where practicable is a violation of section 20.4 of the Regulation. Other factors in this example include the stiffness of the falling object and of the plywood. As per section 20.112(4) of the Regulation, a copy of the inspection reports must be available at the worksite. (2) The follower or pile driving cap being used must be of a size and type suitable for the type of piling being driven. Where this section applies, the prime contractor and the employer of the concrete pump operator share responsibility for selecting the appropriate pump to do the job and for planning the pump's location. 20.32 Hydraulic cylinders This guideline provides examples of "equipment and materials" under section 20.4(2) of the Regulation, discusses coordination among workplace parties, and provides examples of safe delivery, interior access, and material handling practices. Ionizing radiation (b) can be safely attached to and detached from the rigging. [Amended by B.C. 20.44 Delivery pipe ], (2) Repealed. (8) A qualified person must ensure, and confirm in writing, that the hazardous materials identified under subsection (2) or (6) are safely contained or removed. Under section 13.14(1)(a), the work platform of a scaffolding must be a minimum nominal width of 50 cm (20 in). The following table summarizes which workplace parties, if any, are primarily responsible for the regulatory requirements, but not be limited to those on the list: Prior to asbestos removal occurring, all employers responsible for the work, as well as the owner or prime contractor must ensure that a notice of project (NOP) for asbestos, as required under section 20.2.1 of the Regulation, is submitted to WorkSafeBC at least 48 hours in advance of the actual removal of asbestos, including any preparatory work.

In order to ensure that the temporary cribbing support system is capable of withstanding the loads, pre-planning for a house lifting operation should generally include a design drawing prepared by a professional engineer registered in B.C. Reg. All moulds have the potential to cause health effects.
