[All_staff] Work Clothes In Tunnel & Halls During 6MD

[Dean Golembeski]

/*Sent on behalf of ESH&Q*/...

Some of the initial observations being made of the 6-Month Down includes 
a concern over appropriate work clothes.

Our Work Planning, Control and Authorization process requires us to 
identify Standard Protecting Measures, which includes clothing. The 
activities we are working on in the tunnels and halls, coupled with the 
pace we are working, creates a "construction-type" environment. Given 
the hazards presented by the work in the tunnel and halls and the risks 
of cuts, bumps, bruises and scrapes -- the minimum measure of proper 
work clothes is long pants, short-sleeved shirts, and sturdy shoes that 
enclose the foot and provide adequate traction.

These are minimum requirements for entry into the tunnel and halls. 
There may be other clothing requirements based upon the specific hazards 
present. For example, if you are working with heavy materials, 
steel-toed shoes need to be worn; if you are working in a construction 
zone, then hard hat and safety glasses are also required.

If you believe that the above-stated requirements create a safety 
hazard, please contact Todd Kujawa at x7006. He will assess your work 
environment and your concerns and determine whether there are 
engineering methods available to allow you to work safely.
