7.2 Thunder Storms

Thunderstorms are almost a daily occurrence in the summer but may occur anytime of the year. High winds and lightning are a certainty.

1. Project personnel will monitor the storm progress toward the vicinity of the site.
2. Personnel will be informed by the Project Superintendent to abandon scaffolding, form work, cranes and other areas where lightning may likely strike when the storm is approximately 5 miles from the site.
3. The Field Construction Manager will inform line managers when they may return to work.
4. Daily clean-up and proper bundling and stabilization of stored material must be maintained to minimize the possibility of debris and materials becoming airborne.
