Site Control
Site control establishes work zones, procedures, and safe practices that ensure your employees will be protected from hazardous substances.
Site control establishes work zones.
Essential elements for site control include:
- map of the site that identifies contaminated areas
- identified work zones that prevent unauthorized workers from entering contaminated areas and contain contaminants
- written communication and safe work procedures for each work zone
- written procedures for a buddy system: A buddy system pairs workers so that they can help one another during an emergency. Buddies do not have to work for the same employer, but they must be similarly equipped, appropriately trained, and must know their responsibilities under HAZWOPER.
- written procedures for warning employees about emergencies
- name of the nearest emergency-medical responder
