This section addresses particular field conditions, and describes the procedures to be followed by every Carter & Carter employee on every jobsite. It is arranged alphabetically for ease of reference. Additionally, Carter & Carter recognizes these procedures to be examples of safe jobsite practices and encourages all subcontractors to adopt similar procedures conducive to our overall goal of jobsite safety and health.
The section information catalogs specific jobsite and shop hazards, and provides direct instruction that will help each employee to work in and around each condition in a safe manner that minimizes risk of injury or health impairment.
Each set of instructions has been written with the explicit intention of providing for the proper implementation of the respective OSHA and other legal and practical requirements with respect to the particular issue. In many cases, interpretation of the controlling standard or standards may have been necessary in order to determine an appropriate set of procedures to apply to or comply with the stated or implicit interpretation of the respective requirement.
Although every effort has been made to be comprehensive, complete, and practical, it is possible that a condition on a jobsite may not be completely addressed, or a new condition may be encountered which may not be covered at all. Each new situation of these types must be immediately addressed by referring to and applying local, state, and/or federal laws governing the process. In such cases, the Carter & Carter Safety and Health Manager should be immediately contacted for assistance and direction.
The company Safety and Health Manager has the authority to halt any work activity which he or she believes may hold an imminent threat to life, health, property, or equipment
