Site Map
- planning activities
- assigning personnel
- identifying access routes, evacuation routes, and problem areas
- identifying areas of the site that require use of personal protective equipment
- supplementing the daily safety and health briefings of the field teams
The map should be prepared before site entry and updated throughout the course of site operations to reflect:
- accidents
- changes in site activities
- emergencies
- hazards not previously identified
- new materials introduced on site
- vandalism
- weather conditions
Overlays can be used to help portray information without cluttering the map.
