In compliance with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), 30CFR 46.11 (a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f) “Site Specific Hazard Awareness Training”, the River Products Company shall provide hazard awareness training to any person(s), as defined in 30 CFR 46.12 (a)(2), who travel or work on River Products Company quarry premises.
River Products Company is committed to providing a safe environment for all personnel on company property. This presentation will outline River Products Company policies and procedures to maintain a safe working environment.
30 CFR § 46.11 Site-specific hazard awareness training.
You must provide site-specific hazard awareness training, as appropriate, to any person who is not a miner as defined by § 46.2 of this part but is present at a mine site, including:
Construction workers or employees of independent contractors who are not miners under § 46.2 of this part;
Maintenance or service workers who do not work at the mine site for frequent or extended periods; and
You must provide miners, such as drillers or blasters, who move from one mine to another mine while remaining employed by the same production-operator or independent contractor with site-specific hazard awareness training for each mine.
Site-specific hazard awareness training is information or instructions on the hazards a person could be exposed to while at the mine, as well as applicable emergency procedures. The training must address site-specific health and safety risks, such as
unique geologic conditions;
hazards associated with on-site electrical facilities, traffic patterns and control, powered haulage units and loading conditions;
posted notices and signage;
restricted areas and or designated areas;
warning procedures and signals;
specific safety policies and procedures;
emergency procedures; and site specific location maps.
You may provide site-specific hazard awareness training through the use of written hazard warnings, oral instruction, signs and posted warnings, walk around training, or other appropriate means that alert persons to site-specific hazards at the mine.
30 CFR § 46.12 Responsibility for independent contractor training.
Each production-operator has primary responsibility for ensuring that site-specific hazard awareness training is given to employees of independent contractors who are required to receive such training under § 46.11 of this part.
Each production-operator must provide information to any independent contractor who employs a person at the mine on site-specific mine hazards and the obligation of the contractor to comply with MSHA regulations, including the requirements of this part.
Unique Geologic Conditions…
Highwalls – the face may be bermed or blocked off and to be safe you should maintain a distance from the face equal to the height of the highwall.
The best place to be when your are positioned close to a highwall is in the cab of your vehicle, but no closer than 7’ from the top edge of the highwall unless you are outfitted with a full body harness and restraints are in place.
Reduce your speed according to quarry conditions. Always slow down when wet or dusty conditions exist.
Electrical Hazards…
Remember to drop your dump box when close to electrical lines…
...because nothing will ruin your day more than contacting a 17,000 volt power line.
If this should happen, the safest place you can be is in the cab of your vehicle. Stay there until help arrives.
All scale locations have an established traffic pattern. Obey it.
Some scales are accessible from either direction. If this is the case, you need to take turns weighing.
Only one (1) truck is allowed on the scale at a time. The scales will only weigh a certain number of trucks per minute.
Remember, wait patiently as the weighmaster takes care of the customer in front of you.
Most scale locations have a traffic pattern for entering and exiting.
Scales can only weigh 1 truck at a time.
Watch for turning trucks.
Obey posted traffic signs. Be cautious and courteous. Be aware of all trucks including RPC mobile equipment.
Because, you all have to share the same roads.
At certain times customers may need to enter the quarry pit to haul larger material such as riprap. RPC follows a left hand traffic pattern for pit haul roads.
River Products Company follows a right hand traffic pattern for all haul roads except for pit haul road.
Quarry Powered Haulage…
Loaded trucks have the right-of-way. This includes RPC stockpile trucks.
Euclid R-50 (50 Ton Haul Truck)
Caterpillar 775 (75 Ton Haul Truck)
Compared to a pickup!
Euclid R-35 (35 Ton Haul Truck)
Loading Areas at Stockpiles…
Loader operators are instructed to load trucks from the driver’s side only. Remember, you need to back into the stockpiles for loading, except at the Riverside Sand Plant. There you are to pull in parallel to the stockpile.
REMEMBER: You are to stay in the cab of your truck while loading takes place. If for any reason you have to exit your truck, you must stay in the loader operator’s view at all times, and you must wear your hard hat. If the loader operator cannot see you, they will cease loading operations.
At quarry surface operations, you must read and follow ALL safety and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) postings.
Restricted Areas…
Common Examples of Restricted Areas…
Unused Equipment & Supplies Storage
Designated Areas…
Customer Maintenance Areas
Perform maintenance checks on your truck before leaving the stockpile area or after leaving the scales. And, always remember to pull out of the way of traffic.
Designated Areas for checking loads and vehicles…
Conklin: Pull over areas just before the gate at Dubuque St and at First Avenue.
Klein: Just past the scale at the platform used for misting loads.
Columbus Junction: Pull away from the Stockpile/Truck loading area or West of the shop along the fence line.
Keota: After pulling off scale next to entrance.
Riverside: After pulling off the scale.
Ernst: After pulling off the scale.
Warning Procedures…
Drilling is done by RPC personnel or an outside drilling company.
Blasting is performed by an explosives contractor, under the supervision of RPC personnel.
Before blasting takes place, all quarry entrances are blocked by an RPC Supervisor and pit haul road entrances are blocked by various RPC equipment and or personnel.
Warning Signals…
An “All Clear” signal is given by a supervisor on the CB radio to allow movement in the quarry after a blast.
Plant operators are responsible for letting the employees know that the blast has occurred and the area has been given an "all clear" signal by the Supervisor. This notice is given by the sounding of a horn.
Specific Safety Policies & Procedures…
Outside Shop Areas: Watch for equipment and personnel, especially around door openings.
Columbus Junction Shop
Inside Shop Areas: Avoid slip, trip and fall hazards. Be aware of obstructions in walkways, oil or wet spots and sharp or protruding objects.
…Welding In Process
Avoid watching any welding and or grinding being done unless you are wearing approved face and eye protection.
