1.0 INJURY AND ILLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM

1.1 Introduction to Our Program
State and federal law, as well as company policy, make the safety and health of our employees the first consideration in operating our business. Safety and health in our business must be a part of every operation, and every employee's responsibility at all levels. It is the intent of Circuit Technology Center, Inc. to comply with all laws concerning the operation of the business and the health and safety of our employees and the public. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas that can produce or lead to injuries.

No employee is required to work at a job known to be unsafe or dangerous to their health. Your cooperation in detecting hazards, reporting dangerous conditions and controlling workplace hazards is a condition of employment. Inform your supervisor immediately of any situation beyond your ability or authority to correct. Employees will not be disciplined or suffer any retaliation for reporting a safety violation in good faith.

1.2 Safety First Priority
The personal safety and health of each employee of Circuit Technology Center, Inc. is of primary importance. Prevention of occupational injuries and illnesses is of such consequence that it will be given precedence over operating productivity. To the greatest degree possible, management will provide all mechanical and physical protection required for personal safety and health, but our employees must bear primary responsibility for working safely. Common sense and caution can prevent most accidents from occurring.

Every injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, must be reported to management and/or the Responsible Safety Officer as soon as possible. Under no circumstances, except emergency trips to the hospital, should an employee leave the work site without reporting an injury. When you have an accident, everyone is hurt. Please work safely. Safety is everyone's business.

1.3 Safety Rules for All Employees
It is the policy of Circuit Technology Center, Inc. that everything possible will be done to protect you from accidents, injuries and/or occupational disease while on the job. Safety is a cooperative undertaking requiring an ever-present safety consciousness on the part of every employee. If an employee is injured, positive action must be taken promptly to see that the employee receives adequate treatment. No one likes to see a fellow employee injured by an accident. Therefore, all operations must be planned to prevent accidents. To carry out this policy, the following rules will apply:

• Good housekeeping must be practiced at all times in the work area. Clean up all waste and eliminate any dangers in the work area.
• Suitable clothing and footwear must be worn at all times. Personal protection equipment (gloves, respirators, eye protection) will be worn whenever needed.
• Anyone under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, including prescription drugs which might impair motor skills and judgment, shall not be allowed on the job.
• Horseplay, scuffling, and other acts which tend to have an adverse influence on safety or well-being of other employees are prohibited.
• Work shall be well planned and supervised to avoid injuries in the handling of heavy materials and while using equipment.
• There will be no consumption of liquor or beer on the job.
• Employees should be alert to see that all guards and other protective devices are in proper places and adjusted, and shall report deficiencies promptly to the supervisor.
• Employees shall not handle or tamper with any electrical equipment, machinery, or air or water lines in a manner not within the scope of their duties, unless they have received specific instructions.
• All injuries should be reported to the supervisor so that arrangements can be made for medical or first aid treatment.

1.4 Periodic Safety Training Meetings
Circuit Technology Center, Inc. has safety meetings every 6 months. The purpose of the meeting is to convey safety information and answer employee questions. The format of most meetings will be to review, in language understandable to every employee, the content of the injury prevention program, special work site hazards, serious concealed dangers, and material safety data sheets.

1.5 OSHA Records Required
Copies of required accident investigations and certification of employee safety training shall be maintained by the Responsible Safety Officer. A written report will be maintained on each accident, injury or on-the-job illness requiring medical treatment. A record of each such injury or illness is recorded on OSHA Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries Form 200 according to its instructions. Supplemental records of each injury are maintained on OSHA Form 101, or Employers Report of Injury or Illness Form 5020. Every year, a summary of all reported injuries or illnesses is posted no later than February 1, for one month, until March 1, on OSHA Form 200. These records are maintained for five years from the date of preparation.

1.6 Safety Equipment
Proper safety equipment is necessary for your protection. The Company provides the best protective equipment it is possible to obtain.

Use all safeguards, safety appliances, or devices furnished for your protection and comply with all regulations that may concern or affect your safety.

Your supervisor will advise you as to what protective equipment is required for your job. Certain jobs require standard safety apparel and appliances for the protection of the employee. Your supervisor is aware of the requirements and will furnish you with the necessary approved protective appliances. These items shall be worn and effectively maintained as a condition of your continued employment and part of our mutual obligation to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Safety goggles, glasses and face shields shall correspond to the degree of hazard, i.e., chemical splashes, impact hazard, dust, etc. Do not alter or replace an approved appliance without permission from your supervisor.

Rubber gloves and rubber aprons shall be worn when working with large amounts of acids, caustics or other corrosive materials (where splashing could occur).

Specified footwear must be worn.

Hearing protection appliances (approved muffs or plugs) shall be worn by all employees working within any area identified as having excess noise levels. Your supervisor will instruct you in the proper use of the appliance.

2.0 GENERAL CODE OF SAFE WORK PRACTICES

2.1 General Fire Safety
Our local fire department is well acquainted with our facility, its location and specific hazards.

All automatic sprinkler water control valves, if any, air and water pressures should be checked routinely. The maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems is assigned to the Responsible Safety Officer.

Portable fire extinguishers are provided in adequate number and type and are located throughout the facility. Fire extinguishers are mounted in readily accessible locations. Fire extinguishers are recharged regularly and the date of last inspection noted on their tags. All employees are periodically instructed in the use of extinguishers and fire protection procedures. Notify the Responsible Safety Officer of any damage to fire protection equipment.

2.2 Lockout-Tagout Procedures
All machinery or equipment capable of movement must be de-energized or disengaged and blocked or locked out during cleaning, servicing, adjusting or setting up operations, whenever required. The locking-out of the control circuits in lieu of locking-out main power disconnects is prohibited. All equipment control valve handles must be provided with a means for locking out. The lockout procedure requires that stored energy (i.e. mechanical, hydraulic, air) be released or blocked before equipment is locked out for repairs.

2.3 Welding, Cutting and Brazing
Only authorized and trained personnel are permitted to use welding, cutting or brazing equipment. All operators must have a copy of the appropriate operating instructions and are directed to follow them.

Compressed gas cylinders should be regularly examined for obvious signs of defects, deep rusting, or leakage. Use care in handling and storing cylinders, safety valves, relief valves and the like, to prevent damage. Precaution must be taken to prevent mixture of air or oxygen with flammable gases, except at a burner or in a standard torch. Only approved apparatus (torches, regulators, pressure-reducing valves, acetylene generators, manifolds) may be used.

Cylinders must be kept away from sources of heat. It is prohibited to use cylinders as rollers or supports. Empty cylinders must be appropriately marked, their valves closed and valve-protection caps on.

Cylinders, cylinder valves, couplings, regulators, hoses and apparatus must be kept free of oily or greasy substances. Care must be taken not to drop or strike cylinders.

Red is used to identify the acetylene (and other fuel-gas) hose, green for oxygen hose, and black for inert gas and air hose. All pressure-reducing regulators must be used only for the gas and pressures for which they are intended.

Suitable fire extinguishing equipment must be available for immediate use before starting to ignite the welding torch. The welder is strictly forbidden to coil or loop welding electrode cable around his/her body.

All wet welding machines must be thoroughly dried and tested before being used. All work and electrode lead cables must be frequently inspected for wear and damage, and replaced when needed. All connecting cable lengths must have adequate insulation. When the object to be welded cannot be moved and fire hazards cannot be removed, shields must be used to confine heat, sparks and slag.

Fire watchers will be assigned when welding or cutting is performed in locations where a serious fire might develop. All combustible floors must be kept wet, covered by damp sand, or protected by fire-resistant shields.

When floors are wet down, personnel should be protected from possible electrical shock. When welding is done on metal walls, precautions must be taken to protect combustibles on the other side. Before hot work is begun, used drums, barrels, tanks and other containers must be so thoroughly cleaned that no substances remain that could explode, ignite or produce toxic vapors. It is required that eye protection helmets, hand shields and goggles meet appropriate standards.

Employees exposed to the hazards created by welding, cutting or brazing operations must be protected with personal protective equipment and clothing. Check for adequate ventilation where welding or cutting is performed.

2.4 Compressors and Compressed Air
All compressors must be equipped with pressure relief valves and pressure gauges. All compressor air intakes must be installed and equipped to ensure that only clean, uncontaminated air enters the compressor. Every air receiver must be provided with a drain pipe and valve at the lowest point for the removal of accumulated oil and water. Compressed air receivers must be periodically drained of moisture and oil. All safety valves shall be tested frequently and at regular intervals to determine whether they are in good operating condition.

2.5 Compressed Gas and Cylinders
Cylinders with a water weight capacity over 30 pounds must be equipped with means for connecting a valve protector device, or with a collar or recess to protect the valve. Cylinders must be legibly marked to identify clearly the gas contained. Compressed gas cylinders should be stored only in areas which are protected from external heat sources such as flame impingement, intense radiant heat, electric arcs or high temperature lines. Cylinders must not be located or stored in areas where they will be damaged by passing or falling objects, or subject to tampering by unauthorized persons.

Cylinders must be stored or transported in a manner to prevent them from creating a hazard by tipping, falling or rolling. All cylinders containing liquefied fuel gas must be stored or transported in a position so that the safety relief device is always in direct contact with the vapor space in the cylinder. Valve protectors must always be placed on cylinders when the cylinders are not in use or connected for use. All valves must be closed off before a cylinder is moved, when the cylinder is empty, and at the completion of each job.

Low pressure fuel-gas cylinders must be checked periodically for corrosion, general distortion, cracks, or any other defect that might indicate a weakness or render them unfit for service. The periodic check of low pressure fuel-gas cylinders includes a close inspection of the cylinder's bottom.

2.6 Environmental Control
As applicable all employees must be aware of the hazards involved when working with chemicals and the remedies that need to be used when an accident does occur. A training program will give instructions on how to handle the chemical being used and first aid to be applied to victims of chemical exposure. First aid and caution signs will be conspicuously posted so as to alert individuals on a constant basis. The workers must know what the acceptable level of exposure to a chemical is and what safety systems must be in place when working with a chemical. Staff should also be aware of new chemical products which may be available that are less harmful, and they must ensure that facilities are adequately ventilated when using chemicals on the premises. Noise levels also present a potential hazard.

Noise levels within a facility must be at acceptable levels and if not, steps must be taken to reduce the level using recommended engineering controls.

When fibrous materials such as asbestos are being handled, the necessary precautions must be taken to protect the employee from the material. The material must be labeled, along with signs conspicuously posted that these materials are being used in the area. Employees should be aware of effective methods used to prevent emission of airborne asbestos fibers, silica dust and other similar hazardous materials. Some of the recommended methods of controlling the emission of these materials are by using water and vacuuming, rather than blowing and sweeping, the materials.

Machinery such as grinders, saws and other tools that produce a fine airborne dust must be vented to an industrial collector or central exhaust system. In any ventilation system the system should be designed and operated at an airflow and volume necessary for proper application and effectiveness. In the design of the ventilation system the ducts and belts must be free of obstructions and slippage.

As with all operations, there must be written standards on the procedures for the equipment, description of the job task, usage of the protective equipment provided, such as the selection and use of respirators, and when they are needed.

2.7 Hazardous Chemical Exposures
In any company which utilizes chemical substances, a training program on the handling, hazards, storage, exposure risks, symptoms of chemical exposure, and first aid needs to be part of any new employees training, as applicable. There must also be follow-up training sessions as to any new chemical or processes that may be initiated by the company. Follow-up training sessions act as a reinforcement of safety standards that need to be followed on a daily basis.

In a training program, employees will learn acceptable levels of chemical exposure, proper storage and labeling of chemicals, and usage of protective clothing and equipment for handling chemicals. They will also learn about potential fire and toxicity hazards, when not to have a chemical in a confined area, or to store in closed containers, usage of eye wash bottles, and the necessary posting of open, and dangerous areas.

A procedural manual or set of instructions must be part of the program. Part of the manual or procedures must establish a standard of when and how to deal with chemical spills, neutralizing, and disposing of spills or overflows. These procedures must also be posted in an area that is easily accessible for reference usage.

Employees must know how to handle equipment in emergency situations, what equipment needs to be used and whether the equipment is adequate for the situation.

Respirators may be used either as protective safety equipment or for emergency usage. Therefore, the employee should recognize that respirators need to be stored in a clean, sanitary and convenient location and inspected on a regular basis. Also what respirators are approved by NIOSH for their particular applications. With a first aid program an employee will recognize when a problem may be occurring by exposure to a chemical ranging from headaches, nausea, dermatitis problems to other factors of discomfort when they use solvents or chemicals.

2.8 Hazardous Substances Communication
When hazardous substances are used in the workplace, a hazard communication program dealing with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), labeling and employee training will be in operation. MSDS materials will be readily available for each hazardous substance used.

The program will include an explanation of what an MSDS is and how to use and obtain one; MSDS contents for each hazardous substance or class of substances; explanation of the "Right to Know"; identification of where employees can see the employer's written hazard communication program and where hazardous substances are present in their work area; the health hazards of substances in the work area, how to detect their presence, and specific protective measures to be used; as well as informing them of hazards of non-routine tasks and unlabeled pipes.

2.9 Electrical
Equipment such as electrical tools or appliance must be grounded or of the double insulated type. Extension cords being used must have a grounding conductor. The workplace supervisor must be aware if multiple plug adapters are prohibited. If ground-fault circuit interrupters are installed on each temporary 15 or 20 ampere, 120 volt AC circuit at locations where construction, demolition, modifications, alterations or excavations are being performed, temporary circuits must be protected by suitable disconnecting switches or plug connectors with permanent wiring at the junction.

2.10 Fueling
Where flammable liquids are used, employees will be trained to deal with spillage during fueling operations, how it is to be cleaned, the types and designs of fueling hoses and the specific types of fuel it can handle, whether fueling is being done with a nozzle that is a gravity flow system or self-closing, how to avoid spills and recognition that if a spill does occur, the safety of restarting an engine.

2.11 Ergonomics
With the introduction of computers into the workplace, new areas of physical debilitation have been recognized. These new potential hazards have required a redesigning of both the workplace and how employees work.

2.12 Safety Posters
Circuit Technology Center, Inc. is required to post certain employment related information. The required information is maintained on the bulletin board where employees can find the following required posters: OSHA Safety and Health Protection on the Job Material Data Safety Sheets for Circuit Technology Center, Inc. premises are available in the distribution area (see supervisor).

When employees are required to work on the premises of any other employer, such as a service call or installation situation, the job site will maintain a collection of Material Data Safety Sheets that describe any hazards unique to that site. Check with the other employer's job site coordinator or supervisor for the exact location of the MSDS information. In addition to these required safety postings, emergency numbers are maintained in the distribution area. In most cases of real emergency call 911. State your name, the nature of the emergency, and exact location of the injury. Answer all questions completely. Do NOT use 911 for routine calls to police or fire departments.

2.13 Walkways
All aisles and passageways must be kept clear. Wet surfaces must be covered with non-slip material and all holes properly covered or marked with warning guards. All spills must be cleaned up immediately, and a caution sign placed on all wet or drying surfaces. Equipment must be properly stored so that sharp edges do not protrude into walkways. Changes in elevations must be clearly marked, as must passageways near dangerous operations like machinery operation or painting. If there is a low ceiling, a warning sign must be posted. If the walkway or stairway is more than thirty inches above the floor or ground, it must have a guardrail. If an employee is aware of any breach of these standards, please inform the workplace supervisor.

2.14 Floor and Wall Openings
Be careful when working near floor and wall openings. All floor openings (holes) should be guarded by a cover, guardrail or equivalent barrier on all sides except at the entrance to stairways and ladders. Toe boards must be installed around the edges of a permanent floor opening. Skylights must be able to withstand at least 200 pounds pressure. Glass used in windows, doors, and walls (including glass block) must be able to withstand a human impact, and if required by code, be shatterproof "safety glass."

Before beginning work at a new location, inspect it to insure that all floor openings which must remain open, such as floor drains, are covered with grates or similar covers. In roadways and driveways, covers with capacity to carry a truck rear axle load of at least 20,000 pounds must protect all manholes and trenches. In office buildings, fire resistive construction requires that the doors and hallway closures be properly rated and be equipped with self-closing features. Be sure that there are at least two fire emergency exits accessible from your location at all times.

2.15 Ladders
Check ladders each and every time before you climb. Ladders should be maintained in good condition: joints between steps and side rails should be tight; hardware and fittings securely attached; and movable parts operating freely without binding or undue play. Non-slip safety feet are provided on each ladder. Ladder rungs and steps should be free of grease and oil. Employees are prohibited from using ladders that are broken, missing steps, rungs, or cleats, or that have broken side rails or other faulty equipment.

It is prohibited to place a ladder in front of doors opening toward the ladder except when the door is blocked open, locked or guarded. It is prohibited to place ladders on boxes, barrels, or other unstable bases to obtain additional height. Face the ladder when ascending or descending. Be careful when you climb a ladder. Do not use the top step of ordinary stepladders as a step. When portable rung ladders are used to gain access to elevated platforms, roofs, etc., the ladder must always extend at least 3 feet above the elevated surface. It is required that when portable rung or cleat type ladders are used, the base must be so placed that slipping will not occur, unless it is lashed or otherwise held in place.

2.16 Portable Power Tools
Portable power tools pose a special danger to employees because they are deceptively small and light, yet they can do great bodily harm if used improperly or poorly maintained. These rules apply to all power tools, but are especially important when handling portable saws, drills and power screw drivers. Check your equipment before you use it. All grinders, saws and similar equipment should be equipped with appropriate safety guards. Power tools should not be used without the correct shield, guard, or attachment, recommended by the manufacturer.

Portable circular saws must be equipped with guards above and below the base shoe. Circular saw guards should be checked periodically and before each use to assure they are not wedged up, thus leaving the lower portion of the blade unguarded. All rotating or moving parts of equipment should be guarded to prevent physical contact. All cord-connected, electrically-operated tools and equipment should be effectively grounded or of the approved double insulated type. Effective guards must be in place over belts, pulleys, chains, sprockets, on equipment such as concrete mixers, air compressors, etc. If portable fans are provided, they must be equipped with full guards or screens having openings 1/2 inch or less.

2.17 Combustible Materials
All combustible scrap, debris and waste materials (oily rags, etc.) must be stored in covered metal receptacles and removed from the work site promptly. Proper storage to minimize the risk of fire, including spontaneous combustion must be practiced. Only approved containers and tanks are to be used for the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. All connections on drums and combustible liquid piping, vapor and liquid must be kept tight. All flammable liquids should be kept in closed containers when not in use (e.g., parts-cleaning tanks, pans, etc.). Bulk drums of flammable liquids must be grounded and bonded to containers during dispensing.

Storage rooms for flammable and combustible liquids should have mechanical or gravity ventilation. Liquefied petroleum gas must be stored, handled, and used in accordance with safe practices and standards. Vacuuming should be used whenever possible rather than blowing or sweeping combustible dust. Fire separators should be placed between containers of combustibles or flammables when stacked one upon another to assure their support and stability. Fuel gas cylinders and oxygen cylinders must be separated by distance, fire resistant barriers, etc., while in storage.

Fire extinguishers are selected for the types of materials and placed in areas where they are to be used. These fire extinguishers are classified as follows:
Class A - Ordinary combustible materials fires.
Class B - Flammable liquid, gas or grease fires.
Class C - Energized-electrical equipment fires.

Appropriate fire extinguishers must be mounted within 75 ft. of outside areas containing flammable liquids, and within 10 ft. of any inside storage area for such materials. All extinguishers must be serviced, maintained and tagged at intervals not to exceed one year. Extinguishers should be placed free from obstructions or blockage. All extinguishers must be fully charged and in their designated places unless in use.

2.18 First Aid Kits
First-aid kits and required contents are maintained in a serviceable condition. Unit-type kits have all items in the first-aid kit individually wrapped, sealed, and packaged in comparable sized packages. The commercial or cabinet-type kits do not require all items to be individually wrapped and sealed, but only those which must be kept sterile. Items such as scissors, tweezers, tubes of ointments with caps, or rolls of adhesive tape, need not be individually wrapped, sealed, or disposed of after a single use or application.

A poster shall be fastened and maintained either on or in the cover of each first- aid kit and at or near all phones plainly stating, the phone numbers of available doctors, hospitals, and ambulance services within the district of the work site.

3.0 CHEMICAL SAFETY

3.1 Disposal of Chemicals
All Circuit Technology Center, Inc. employees, participating guests, and visitors using hazardous chemicals are responsible for disposing of these chemicals safely. Federal and state regulations mandate strict disposal procedures for chemicals. To comply with these regulations all persons using Company facilities must observe these procedures. Routine Disposal of Chemicals In general the disposal of hazardous chemicals to the sanitary sewer, sink or garbage container is not permitted. The Responsible Safety Officer will advise on the proper disposal of chemical wastes.

When using chemical waste storage containers, certain procedures must be observed, as listed below: Incompatible chemicals must not be mixed in the same container (e.g., acids should not be mixed with bases; organic liquids should not be mixed with strong oxidizing agents). Waste oils must be collected in 55-gallon drums. Disposal solids, and explosive materials must be stored in separate containers.

The following requirements must be met as a condition for pickup and disposal of chemicals by the Responsible Safety Officer: Chemicals must be separated into compatible groups. Leaking containers of any sort will not be accepted. Dry materials (gloves, wipes, pipettes, etc.) must be securely contained in plastic bags and over packed in a cardboard box. Packages that are wet or have sharp protruding objects will not be accepted for pick up.

Unknown chemicals will require special handling. The responsible department must make every effort to identify the material that is to be disposed. If all the user's attempts to identify the waste chemicals have failed, the Responsible Safety Officer will accept the waste and analyze the material. For more information call the Responsible Safety Officer. Each breakable container must be properly boxed. Place all bottles in plastic bags, then place in a sturdy container and use an absorbent cushioning material that is compatible with the chemicals. Each box must have a complete list of contents or description written on an official Responsible Safety Officer hazardous materials packing list. For safety purposes, boxes must be of a size and weight so that one person can handle them. Boxes that exceed 45 pounds or 18 inches on a side cannot be safely handled by one person and will not be acceptable for pick up.


4.0 MATERIALS HANDLING

4.1 Introduction
Circuit Technology Center, Inc. requires that safety planning and practices for commonplace tasks be as thorough as for operations with unusual hazards. Commonplace tasks make up the greater part of the daily activities of most employees and, not unexpectedly, offer more potential sources of accidents with injuries and property damage. Every operation or work assignment begins and ends with handling of materials. Whether the material is a sheet of paper (paper cuts are painful) or a cylinder of toxic gas, accident risks can be reduced with thorough planning. Identifying obvious and hidden hazards should be the first step in planning work methods and job practices.

Thorough planning should include all the steps associated with good management from job conception through crew and equipment decommissioning. Most of the material presented in this chapter is related to the commonplace and obvious. Nevertheless, a majority of the incidents leading to injury, occupational illness, and property damage stem from failure to observe the principles associated with safe materials handling and storage. A less obvious hazard is potential failure of used or excessive motorized handling or lifting equipment. The Responsible Safety Officer must be notified whenever it is desired to acquire a crane, forklift truck, or other motorized handling or lifting equipment.

4.2 Lifting and Moving
Lifting and moving of objects must be done by mechanical devices rather than by manual effort whenever this is practical. The equipment used must be appropriate for the lifting or moving task. Lifting and moving devices must be operated only by personnel trained and authorized to operate them. Employees must not be required to lift heavy or bulky objects that overtax their physical condition or capability.

4.3 Manual Lifting Rules
Manual lifting and handling of material must be done by methods that ensure the safety of both the employee and the material. It is Circuit Technology Center, Inc. policy that employees whose work assignments require heavy lifting be properly trained and physically qualified, by medical examination if deemed necessary. The following are rules for manual lifting: Inspect the load to be lifted for sharp edges, slivers, and wet or greasy spots. Wear gloves when lifting or handling objects with sharp or splintered edges. These gloves must be free of oil, grease, or other agents that may cause a poor grip. Inspect the route over which the load is to be carried. It should be in plain view and free of obstructions or spillage that could cause tripping or slipping. Consider the distance the load is to be carried.

Recognize the fact your gripping power may weaken over long distances. Size up the load and make a preliminary "heft" to be sure the load is easily within your lifting capacity. If it is not, get help. If team lifting is required, personnel should be similar in size and physique. One person should act as leader and give the commands to lift, lower, etc. Two persons carrying a long piece of pipe or lumber should carry it on the same shoulder and walk in step. Shoulder pads should be used to prevent cutting shoulders and help reduce fatigue. To lift an object off the ground, the following are manual lifting steps: Make sure of good footing and set your feet about 10 to 15 inches apart. It may help to set one foot forward of the other. Assume a knee-bend or squatting position, keeping your back straight and upright. Get a firm grip and lift the object by straightening your knees - not your back. Carry the load close to your body (not on extended arms). To turn or change your position, shift your feet - don't twist your back. The steps for setting an object on the ground are the same as above, but in reverse.

4.4 Mechanical Lifting
Mechanical devices must be used for lifting and moving objects that are too heavy or bulky for safe manual handling by employees. Employees who have not been trained must not operate power-driven mechanical devices to lift or move objects of any weight. Heavy objects that require special handling or rigging must be moved only by riggers or under the guidance of employees specifically trained and certified to move heavy objects.

4.5 Truck Loading
All objects loaded on trucks must be secured to the truck to prevent any shifting of the load in transit. The wheels of trucks being loaded or unloaded at a loading dock must be chocked to prevent movement.


5.0 RESPIRATORY

5.1 Respiratory Protection
Any operation that generates harmful airborne levels of dusts, fumes, sprays, mists, fogs, smokes, vapors, or gases or that may involve oxygen-deficient atmospheres requires the use of effective safety controls. This must be accomplished, as much as feasible, by accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution of less toxic materials). When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted, appropriate respiratory protection must be used in accordance with Circuit Technology Center, Inc. requirements as prescribed by OSHA in ANSI 288.2-1980, Standard Practices for Respiratory Protection. The Responsible Safety Officer is responsible for: Providing respiratory equipment. Maintaining the equipment in good condition. Evaluating employee exposures and work conditions, including inspection of respirator use.

5.2 Respiratory Equipment
The Responsible Safety Officer has selected the types of respiratory protective equipment to be used at Circuit Technology Center, Inc.. Any changes to protective equipment, its application, or the substitution of alternative protective equipment must be approved by the Responsible Safety Officer before its use. The types of respiratory protective devices provided by Circuit Technology Center, Inc. are described below. Disposable dust masks are approved for protection against low (nonhazardous) levels of nuisance dusts. They provide no protection against vapors or gases, and they cannot be used in oxygen-deficient areas.

There are no applicable training or fitting restrictions. Supplied-air, half- and full-face masks may be used in atmospheres unsuitable for air-purifying respirators but cannot be used in areas which are immediately dangerous to life or health. Compressors are normally used to supply breathing air, but compressed air cylinders may also be used. The user must be medically approved, trained, and fitted before using this equipment. Personnel will not be fitted or issued a respirator if there is any condition that may prevent a good face seal, such as a beard, sideburns, skullcap, or temple pieces on eyeglasses.
