Page 30 of 52 CSHP- HSE PLAN Issue 1 (MAY 2021)


HSE PLAN
Doc Ref: HSE PLAN (DOLE) Rev: 01 Date: MAY 2021

Hand Tools
 Hand tools are non-powered. They include anything from axes to wrenches. The
greatest hazards posed by hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance. If a
tool is not maintained properly it should be removed from service and reported to your
supervisor.
 Hammers or mallets with broken handles or loose heads should not be used.
 Mushroom heads on chisels and punches should be "dressed" properly or the tool
should be discarded.
 While chipping, use prescribed type of goggles and chip in a direction where flying
chips can do no harm. Use a screen if necessary.
 When cutting with pliers, be sure cuttings do not fly.
 A wood saw or hacksaw should be started by drawing the saw blade backward if fingers
are used to guide it at the cutting edge.
 All files should be equipped with handles.
 Use wrenches properly sized for the job. Be sure wrench jaws are not sprung, chipped,
or have worn teeth. Never use a wrench as a hammer.

Machine Tools
 Do not remove or make ineffective any safeguards unless authorized. Guards removed
for repairs should be replaced promptly.
 Machinery should be inspected regularly to insure cleanliness and proper operation.
 Machinery should be placed and anchored securely to prevent tipping or other
movement.
 There should be a power shut-off switch within reach of the operator at each machine.
 Machinery should be equipped with an emergency stop button that is colored red.
 Manually-operated valves and switches controlling the operation of machines should be
identified and readily accessible.
 Machines must be shut down before cleaning, repairing, or oiling. Disconnect or use
Lock Out techniques.
 Keys or adjusting tools must never be left so that they may creep, be thrown, or fall
when a machine is started.
 When drilling or tapping material see that it is securely fastened by blocks or clamps so
that it cannot spin or climb the drill. In no case should the operator rely on his hands to
secure the material from turning.
 Use a brush, special tool, or hook to remove chips, shavings, or other material from
work.
 Transparent guards should be kept clean.
 Keep fingers clear of a machine's point-of-operation by using special tools or devices,
such as push sticks, hooks, or pliers.
 Stand to one side-never directly in line-with work being fed through machines such as
circular saws, jointers, or wood shapers.
 Revolving shafts, although apparently smooth, will catch loose or ragged clothing,
gloves, jewelry, hair, or wiping rags. Proper clothes and caution are always necessary
when working around any revolving machinery. Shirt sleeves should be rolled up.
Neckties should not be worn.
 Goggles must be worn whenever flying chips, particles of material, liquids, chemicals,
or sparks may cause eye injury.
 Whenever possible, ground all power tools.

Page 31 of 52 CSHP- HSE PLAN Issue 1 (MAY 2021)


HSE PLAN
Doc Ref: HSE PLAN (DOLE) Rev: 01 Date: MAY 2021

Abrasive Wheels
 Grinding wheels should be equipped with tool rests that hold the work firmly. The tool
rest should be kept adjusted close to the wheel with a maximum opening of 1/8". Adjust
the tongue to no more than 1/4" of the wheel.
 Bench and pedestal grinders should be permanently mounted or secured.
 Face shields should always be used when grinding.
 The maximum RPM rating of each abrasive wheel must be compatible with the RPM
rating of the grinder motor.
 Each electrically operated grinder should be effectively grounded.
 Each grinder should have an individual "On" and "Off" control switch.
 Abrasive wheels must not be stored where they would be exposed to high temperature
or humidity, water or other liquids, freezing temperatures or any temperature low
enough to cause condensation on the wheels when moved from the storage area to an
area of higher temperature, or where they would be subjected to physical damage from
falling tools or materials.
 Before new abrasive wheels are used they should be visually inspected and ring tested.
 Safety guards used on machines known as "right angle head" or "vertical portable"
grinders must not have an exposure angle greater than 180 degrees, and the guard must
be located so that it is between the operator and the wheel during use. The guard should
be adjusted so that pieces of an accidentally broken wheel will be deflected away from
the operator.
 The side of an energy wheel should not be used for grinding, unless it is a special type
of wheel designed for that purpose.
 Grinding of large parts, prolonged grinding, grinding of potentially toxic materials, and
cutting of wheels all require mechanical exhaust ventilation.
 Defective abrasive wheels (cracked, broken, out of balance) should not be used.
 Abrasive wheels which have been discarded should not be re-used.
 Flanges should be of such design as to satisfactorily transmit the driving torque from
the spindle to the grinding wheel.
 Flanges may be made of steel, cast iron, or other material of equal or greater strength
and rigidity.
 Flanges shall be designed with respect to rigidity so that when tightened, the radial
width of bearing surface of contact on the wheel is maintained.
 Abrasive wheels must have cover guards.

Lathes
 Make sure that all gear and belt guards are in place.
 Never leave a chuck wrench in a chuck.
 Keep your hands off chuck rims when a lathe is in operation.
 Do not attempt to screw the chuck onto the lathe spindle with the power on, as it may
get cross-threaded and cause injury. Stop the machine, place a board under the chuck,
and then screw on by hand.
 Steady rests should be properly adjusted to conform with the material being worked on.
When filing work in a lathe, file with the right hand over lathe instead of left hand, and
face the head stock. If left-handed, reverse lathe and file from back side of lathe. See
that tailstock, toolholder, and work are properly clamped before turning on power.
 Never attempt to adjust a tool while the lathe is running.

Page 32 of 52 CSHP- HSE PLAN Issue 1 (MAY 2021)


HSE PLAN
Doc Ref: HSE PLAN (DOLE) Rev: 01 Date: MAY 2021

 Never apply a wrench to revolving work or parts.


 Always use a brush to remove chips--never your hands.
 When possible, use pipe sleeves to cover work protruding from the end of the lathe.
 Before removing your work from the lathe, remove the tool bit.

Welding, Cutting, and Brazing


 Cylinder must be place in vertical position,
 Signs reading "DANGER--NO SMOKING, MATCHES, OR OPEN FLAMES" or the
equivalent should be posted.
 Grounding of the machine frame and safety ground connections of portable machines
should be checked periodically.
 Electrical power to the welder should be shut off when no one is present.
 Welding is to be done only by those employees who are qualified as welders.
 Red should be used to identify acetylene (and other fuel-gas) hoses, green for oxygen
hoses, and black for inert gases and air hoses.
 Always stand to one side and away from the gauge faces and front of the regulator
when opening the cylinder valve. In case of an explosion, you will not be cut by flying
glass.
 Never open an acetylene cylinder valve more than one-half (1/2) turns. Always keep the
key on the acetylene cylinder valve. In case of a flashback or fire from a leaky cylinder
connection, a gloved hand can withstand the heat long enough to close the valve.
 Oxygen is not a substitute for compressed air. Never use oxygen equipment around oily
gloves, clothes or oily surfaces. Oil or grease in presence of oxygen, under pressure,
will ignite violently.
 Suitable fire extinguishing equipment should be available for instant use.
 Fire watchers should be assigned when welding or cutting is performed in locations
where a serious fire might develop.
 A lighted torch should not be turned on concrete. Concrete always contains some
moisture which may cause the concrete to explode.
 Cylinders have exploded from what seemed to be slight jars. Be sure your cylinders are
chained or strapped securely.
 Never use acetylene from a cylinder in a horizontal position. In this position, the
acetone is drawn out of the cylinder with the acetylene.
 Use the cylinder valve--not the regulator--to turn the gas off. The regulator is not
designed to be used as a shut-off valve.
 Do not watch the electric arc without welding lenses. Ultra- violet and infra-red rays are
thrown off in concentrated form and can burn unprotected eyes.
 Eye protection helmets, hand shields, and goggles meeting the appropriate standards are
required.
 Local exhaust ventilation is recommended for most welding, cutting, and brazing. It is
required when the following base metals, fluxes, coatings, platings, or filler metals are
used:
 Beryllium
 cadmium

 chromium

 fluorides

Page 33 of 52 CSHP- HSE PLAN Issue 1 (MAY 2021)


HSE PLAN
Doc Ref: HSE PLAN (DOLE) Rev: 01 Date: MAY 2021

 lead

 mercury

 zinc

 inert gas welding


 oxygen cutting of stainless steel
 Silver soldering requires local exhaust ventilation due to cadmium in the solder.
 When working in confined spaces, environmental monitoring tests should be taken and
means provided for quick removal of welders in case of an emergency (see section on
confined space safety).
 Maintain gauge pressure –oxygen 30-40 lbs, acetylene 5-10 lbs when use , small tip uses
less (If applicable)
 Two (2) sets of flash arresters (for oxyacetylene outfits) one(1) set at torch handle and
one(1) set at regulators.

Drill Presses
 Clamp material to be drilled securely to the drill-table before starting the machine.
 Tighten the chuck of the drill press and remove the release key before starting the machine
or your arm may be twisted around the spindle. Never leave the key in the chuck.
 Use drills properly sharpened to cut the right size.
 Run drills only at the correct speed and do not force or feed too fast. Broken drills can
cause serious injury.
 If your work should slip from the clamp, never attempt to stop it with your hands. Stop
machine to make any adjustment or repair.
 Drill presses should never be forced by exerting excess pressure on the feed lever.
 Drive belts should be covered.

Woodworking Machines
 Saws used for ripping should be equipped with anti-kick back devices and spreaders.

 A dull saw is dangerous. It retards speed and may break.

 A ripsaw should not be used for crosscutting, nor should a crosscutting saw be used for
ripping.

 Woodworking machinery must be frequently checked by the Shop Foreman for defects.

 Saws must be sharp (not cracked), properly mounted, and have a blade guard.

 Check planer, shaper, jointer, knives, bolts, nuts, clamps, and guards.

 Stop a machine before leaving it. Another person may be injured by it.
 Radial arm saws should be arranged so that the cutting head will gently return to the back
of the table when released.

Glossary of Terms
For the purpose of this HSE Plan the following definitions will apply:
 Accident
See “Incident”.

 As Low As Reasonably Practicable [ ALARP ]


To reduce a risk to a level which is “as low as reasonably practicable”? Involves balancing
reduction in risk against the time, trouble difficulty and cost achieving it. This level represents
the point, objectively assessed, at which the time, trouble, difficulty and cost of further
reduction become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained.

 Discharge
Discharges include releases to air, surface, water, groundwater or land of a material which can
have an adverse effect on human health or the environment be it gaseous, liquid or solid nature
or a combination thereof.

Any discharges fall into one of three categories:


Emission: A discharge into the atmosphere.
Effluent: A discharge of liquid.
Waste: Any other type of discharge.

 Element
An element is a part of the HSE PLAN and represents a grouping of actions and/or
expectations on key HSE focus areas, e.g. Safety, Risk Management, Communications, etc.

 Environment
The surroundings and conditions in which the company operates and upon which, it may have
an effect. This includes non-living systems (air, water, earth) and living systems (human, plant
and animal) and social/cultural systems.

 Hazard
This includes anything with the potential to cause harm, ill health or injury, damage to
property, plant, products, or the environment, production losses or increased liabilities.
Hazards may be physical, chemical or biological.

 Health Protection
Health Protection encompasses the practices, procedures, equipment and training necessary for
the prediction of health risk and protection of the health of persons working at the company
facilities. Providing health protection requires recognition, evaluation, control and
management of the physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic hazards associated with
processes and operations.
 Health Safety and Environmental Management
Those aspects of the overall Management function (including planning) that develop
implement and maintain the HSE System.

 Health Safety and Environmental System Plan

HSE PLAN
Doc Ref: HSE PLAN (DOLE) Rev: 01 Date: MAY 2021

The structure, responsibilities, guidelines, procedures, processes, systems and resources for
implementing HSE Plan.

 Incident
An event or chain of events which has caused or could have caused injury, illness and /or
damage (loss) to assets, the environment or third parties. (Some writers and organizations to
denote an incident which has caused injury, illness and/or property damage use the word
“accident” but the term also has connotations of ‘bad luck’ in common speech, and is,
therefore avoided by others.

 Incident Reporting and Investigation


Incident reporting and Investigation are procedures undertaken to communicate the
occurrence.

 Monitoring Activities
All inspection, test and monitoring work related to health, safety and environmental
management.

 Performance Criteria
Performance criteria describe the measurable standards set by management to which an
activity or system, element is to perform. (You may also think of performance criteria as
‘goals’ or ‘targets’.)

 Procedure
A Procedure is written description of how a specific task should be accomplished.

 Risk
This is the product of the chance that a specified undesired event will occur and the severity of
the consequences of the event.

 Risk Management
Risk Management is the systematic process of:
 Identifying potential hazardous events and their potential consequences
(Hazard analysis)
 Assessing the probability of the hazardous event occurring (risk analysis)
 Reducing the risk by reducing the probability of a hazardous event occurring or mitigating
its potential consequences.
 Safety
Safety encompasses the Systems, Programs, Procedures and Practices requires for the
prevention of incidents.

 System
A System is a management tool for meeting an established objective made up of four steps:
plan, implement measure and adjust.

 Training

Page 43 of 52 CSHP- HSE PLAN Issue 1 (MAY 2021)


HSE PLAN
Doc Ref: HSE PLAN (DOLE) Rev: 01 Date: MAY 2021

Training encompasses the steps necessary to ensure that employees and contractors have the
knowledge, skills and values necessary to fulfill their environmental, health and safety
responsibilities.

 Waste Management
Waste Management encompasses the assessment and disposal of wastes generated by facilities,
with the goal of minimizing and preventing the generation of waste.
