EM 385-1-1 Paragraph 6-7 (h.–j.).

6-7. Minimum Plan Requirements. (h.–j.).

h.  Mold Remediation Plan.  A written Mold Remediation Plan is required when mold remediation activities are performed according to Army TG 277.  The plan must include the following:  (6-7.h)

(1)  Documentation of employee training on proper clean up methods, personal protection, and potential health hazards.

(2)  Description of source, location, and extent of mold.

(3)  Description of mold growth conditions.

(4)  A description of the engineering controls, work practices, and PPE, to include respiratory protection used to limit employee exposure to mold during abatement activities (see paras 1-6 or 2-6, as applicable).

(5)  A description of housekeeping measures to limit employee exposure and prevent mold migration.

(6)  A description of the procedures used to restrict access to work areas, when necessary, to minimize the number of employees exposed.

(7)  Medical surveillance procedures to ensure fitness for wearing respiratory protection (see chapter 5).

(8)  Post–remediation air sampling procedures.

i.  Silica Compliance Plan.  A written Silica Compliance Plan is required when employees may be exposed to respirable crystalline silica, as applicable.  The plan must include the following (see 29 CFR 1910.1053 (29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z) and 29
CFR 1926.1153 (29 CFR 1926 Subpart Z)):  (6-7.i)

(1)  A description of the task(s) in the workplace that involve exposure to respirable crystalline silica.

(2)  A description of the engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection used to limit employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica for each task.

(a)  Identify specific exposure control methods per 29 CFR 1926.1153, tables 1 or
        2.

(b)  Identify alternative exposure control methods for tasks not listed in table 1, or where the employer does not fully and properly implement engineering controls, work practices and respiratory protection described in table 1.

(3)  Employee exposure assessment procedures to document employee silica exposure.

(4)  A description of the housekeeping measures used to limit employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica.

(5)  A description of the procedures used to restrict access to work areas, when necessary, to minimize the number of employees exposed to respirable crystalline silica and their level of exposure, including exposures generated by other employers or sole proprietors.

(6)  Medical surveillance procedures to monitor employee exposures and ensure fitness for wearing respiratory protection (see chapter 5).

j.  Fatigue Management Plan (FMP).  A written FMP is required whenever work hours exceed 10-hours a day for more than four consecutive days, exceed 50-hours in a 7-day work week, exceed 12-hours a day for more than three consecutive days, and/or exceed 58-hours a week for sedentary (to include office) work.  The FMP must address the following components and conditions for operator work hour limitations: (6-7.j)

(1)  Equipment Operators.  Operators of equipment, such as hoisting equipment and draglines, mobile construction equipment, electrical power systems, hydropower plants, industrial manufacturing systems, hydraulically operated equipment, powered vessels, and boats, must not be permitted to exceed 12-hours of duty time in any 24- hour period, including time worked at another occupation.  A minimum of eight consecutive hours of rest between shifts in a 24-hour period is required.

(2)  Motor Vehicle Operators.  Operators of motor vehicles, while on duty, must not operate vehicles for a continuous period of more than 10-hours in any 24-hour period.
    In addition, no employee, while on duty, may operate a motor vehicle after being in a duty status for more than 12-hours during any 24-hour period.  A minimum of eight consecutive hours must be provided for rest in each 24-hour period.

(3)  Floating Plant.  All floating plant personnel must be scheduled to receive a minimum of 8-hours rest in any 24-hour period, except:

(a)  When quarters are provided immediately adjacent to, or aboard the work site, these hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which must be at least six continuous hours in length.

(b)  Rest periods may be interrupted in case of emergency, drill, or other overriding operational necessity.

(4)  Identify affected workers.

(5)  Employee training required according to paragraph 6-3.d.

(6)  Control measures established at the work site to minimize fatigue including a discussion of driving to and from work and any possible mitigation of driving as a factor of fatigue.  Controls for fatigue may include work scheduling (limit number of consecutive night shifts), rotating jobs to prevent repetitive work, breaks at critical times in the work cycle, control of environmental factors (heat, cold, use of PPE), buddy
    check-in for individuals working alone, and alternate transportation for long commutes. (See paras 1-6 or 2-6, as applicable)

(7)  Management responsibility to implement plan requirements.
