DC-109164-01 Rev B
Arc Flash Program
National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 70E
There are a number of important electrical industry consensus standards that have indirect or direct
impact on human safety. NFPA 70E, the "Standard for Electrical Requirements for Employee
Workplaces," is one of the most widely used. This standard focuses on protecting people and identifies
requirements that are considered necessary to provide a workplace that is generally free from electrical
hazards.
NFPA 70E recommends:
• Establishing an electrically safe work condition prior to beginning work
• Implementing appropriate procedures and training to avoid injury
• Determining and adhering to shock and flash protection boundaries
• Minimizing work with live/energized equipment if possible
Training Overview
Workers need training on the tasks and procedures (such as specific lockout/tag out procedures) that
are essential to conducting their work in a safe manner.
Any person assigned to tasks associated with electrical energy must be qualified and trained for the job
at hand. He or she must be able to identify electrical hazards, avoid exposure to those hazards, and
understand the potential results of all action taken.
Each Clipper Windpower employee affected by arc flash will receive the following documented training
annually and upon hire:
• Review this program
• Review the relevant lockout/tag out procedures
• Review the OMSW Control of Work, Risk Assessment, & Mitigation, DC-154511-XX, containing
the JSEA, Job Safety & Environment Analysis, form
• Review the required PPE relevant to their tasks
Training
Providing an electrically safe work condition:
• Use the right tool for the job. Use the appropriate tools for the job at hand, keep them accessible
and in good working condition.
• Always use a circuit tester on each circuit using Hot-Cold-Hot test before troubleshooting
because all voltages can be dangerous. Contact with even low voltages can result in serious
injury.
• Always treat all circuits as LIVE unless tests proven otherwise.
• Remove all jewelry, key rings, cell phones, radios and pagers, other metal objects, etc., before
troubleshooting any electrical circuits or apparatus.
• When troubleshooting live circuits, take care to be safely isolated (i.e., rubber mats, insulated
tools, EH rated shoes, etc.).
• Never troubleshoot circuits when in contact with metal, wet surfaces or in water.

DC-109164-01 Rev B
To prevent shocks, take precautions to:
• Keep metal objects from touching or being exposed to any LIVE parts, moving machine parts or
connections.
• Do not wear tool belts and do not carry tools in pockets.
• Use only double-insulated rated tools when troubleshooting on circuits that may not be
de-energized.
• Stand to the side when opening/closing a main line disconnect.
Protect the Person
The following personal protective equipment shall be worn at all times when working on energized
Level 1 and Level 3, electrical equipment.
Level 1 PPE –
All Clipper-supplied for use with the following energized equipment - DJB, TCU and EPU:
• FR rated pants and long sleeve shirt with all-natural fiber under garments (8 cal/cm2
)
• Safety glasses – nonmetal framed safety glasses
• Rubber gloves (class 0) with leather over gloves
• Hard hat (Minimum Class E) with face shield
• EH rated footwear
• All natural fiber undergarments
If fall protection is required it must be FR rated - otherwise it must be removed
Level 3 PPE –
All Clipper-supplied for use with the following energized equipment - PDP and GCU:
25 cal/cm2
required when inside on all sites in the GCU
25 cal/cm2
required when inside of the PDP on most sites (contact site supervisor)
40 cal/cm2
required when inside of the PDP on specified sites (contact site supervisor
for more information)
• FR rated pants and long sleeve shirt with all-natural fiber under garments.
• FR rated under shirt
• FR rated coveralls (layering system to 25 cal/cm2
)
• Arc flash hood
If fall protection is required it must be FR rated – otherwise it must be removed

DC-109164-01 Rev B
Level 4 PPE –
All Clipper-supplied for use with the following energized equipment - PDP:
40 cal/cm2
required when inside of the PDP on specified sites (contact site supervisor
for more information)
• Layering to 40 cal/cm2
FR rated pants and long sleeve shirt with all-natural fiber under
garments
• FR rated overalls with the layering system to (40 cal/cm2
)
• 40 cal/cm2
arc flash suit hood
• 40 cal/cm2
flash suit jacket
• 40 cal/cm2
flash suit pants
If fall protection is required it must be FR rated – otherwise it must be removed
Lockout/Tag out
Lockout/tagout procedures must be followed when power is not required to perform the task.
Testing and troubleshooting may be done live.
To minimize the hazard, repairs can only be done when system has been properly de-energized or
circuits isolated.
If it is impossible to establish an electrically safe work environment, be sure to shut down every
possible energy source.
Understand that sometimes a de-energized circuit can become re-energized, and necessary
precautions must be taken.
The Lockout/Tagout Standard was created to help reduce the death and injury rate caused by the
unexpected energization or start-up of machines, or the release of stored energy.
Ask supervisor to review the affected policies with the technicians. Reference Datastay.
For additional questions pertaining to the Clipper Arc Flash Program, contact immediate supervisor, site
manager or regional EHS professional.

Harness Inspection
Overview This document is intended as supplemental material to Harness Inspection
Training and to be accompanied by practical training performed by an
identified competent person.
When to
inspect
A harness shall be inspected before every use. An inspection log shall be
kept on site to record the inspection of each harness. A “qualified” person
shall inspect and record the inspection on a quarterly basis. When
information concerning the prior inspections is out of date, unclear, or not on
the harness, notify the site EHS Coordinator immediately and identify the
harness as out of service until an inspection is complete.
Taking a
harness out of
service
A harness shall be taken out of service if any of the following occurs:
• If the harness fails inspection.
• If the harness has been in service for five years past the date of
issuance.
• If the harness is ever exposed to a shock load.
If there doubts about any PPE or Personal Fall Arrest Equipment, TAKE IT
OUT of service immediately. It should always be presumed that all
equipment is unsafe before it has been inspected. Always consult the site
EHS Coordinator for further information.
Primary
Inspection
Areas
• Webbing
• Material
• Connections
• Labels
OSHA
1926.502(d)(21)
A personal fall arrest system must be inspected prior to each use. Any
component with any significant defect such as tears, abrasions, mold
or undue stretching, alterations or additions which might affect its
efficiency, damage due to deterioration, contact with fire, acids or other
corrosives, distorted hooks or faulty spring, loose or damaged
mountings, non-functional parts or wearing, must be removed from
service immediately.

Harness Usage
Steps to assist
proper usage of
the harness
Make sure the dorsal D-ring is properly positioned between the shoulder
blades. The straps that wrap around the thigh should be tightened to a point
that allows for two fingers to easily slide between the strap and the thigh.
Hang in the harness from an approved anchor point a few feet off the ground
to ensure a proper fit.
What to do if
PFP has been
shock-loaded
1. Fill out a near miss/accident investigation report.
2. Report the incident to a safety supervisor.
3. Turn the harness and connector over to the site supervisor or EHS
coordinator at once. Do not use it again!
Lanyards Stay aware of the position of the lanyards.
Do not allow lanyards to wrap around other elements of the harness.
Only one lanyard is allowed to be connected to the D-ring located on the
back of the harness. The one lanyard shall be a “Y” type lanyard with a built-
in shock absorbing (deceleration) device.
Make sure that all the gear in the harness system is compatible.
Always have another individual help inspect lanyards and that proper
attachment is made to the rear (dorsal) D-ring.
Harness
Storage
Store gear in a location where is free from the elements, including UV
(ultraviolet) light or sun exposure; which can degrade the harness and
lanyard material. The rear window of a vehicle is not the proper place to store
personal fall protection equipment.

Accidents, Injuries, and Violence
Accidents and
Injuries
If you are a victim of, or observe an accident that involves an injury such as a
cut, sprain, or more serious trauma (injury):
1. Determine if medical attention is necessary.
• If the injury requires more than the most basic of First-Aid
(application of a band aid), then medical attention is necessary.
• When in doubt, call for help and let medical professionals decide.
2. If needed call 9-1-1. Notify the Site Supervisor and the Safety Supervisor.
• State the nature and location of the emergency, and the number
of patients (victims)
• Example: O&M Building for an employee with a bad cut to his
hand.
• Example: Turbine 6 for 2 employees struck by a falling wrench.
3. ALL Injuries MUST be reported. Injury reporting forms will be made
available to all employees. Be sure to return them as soon as possible to
the Regional HSE Supervisor.
4. Be as detailed as possible when documenting an accident/injury, so that
we may understand the causes involved as fully as possible. This is NOT
to just “assign blame,” but will help all of us to work towards preventing
future accidents. Our goal MUST be “no accidents/injuries!”

Accidents, Injuries, and Violence, Continued
Acts of
Violence
1. Report all acts of theft, vandalism, and violence IMMEDIATELY to Site
Supervisor and Safety Supervisor, or call 9-1-1.
2. Do NOT physically engage someone committing an act of violence
UNLESS in defense of your personal safety.
3. IF possible to do so SAFELY, pay close attention to the perpetrator’s
appearance and provide that information to responding authorities.
4. In the event of a holdup, cooperate in every possible way, giving money,
wallet, or other items as ordered. Always remember: no item is worth
your life!

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 8 of 22
Power Failure and Hazardous Material
Power Failure Follow directions received from your supervisor, be aware that some
equipment may still be energized or could present a hazard upon re-
establishment of power.
**Nobody should be in an area without light. Exercising great caution, move
to an area with at least minimal light (enough to locate an exit path).
Hazardous
Material
A hazardous material release could involve substances such as paint,
solvents, de-greasers, oils, lubricants, propane, etc. MSDS for all hazardous
materials used will be maintained and accessible at all times to all
employees. The MSDS will be located in the “Right to Know” center, along
with a list of all chemicals used.
1. IF the release does NOT represent a hazard beyond its immediate
location:
• Ask all occupants to LEAVE the affected area, contact your
supervisor.
• Post warning cones outside the secured area.
• If unsure about the hazard, proceed with building EVACUATION
following the exit routes posted on the Evacuation Plan, and avoiding
a path adjacent to the hazardous material.
2. IF the material is UNKNOWN or poses a hazard beyond its immediate
location (e.g. very large quantity, highly volatile, explosive, or toxic
compound), EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY/CALL 9-1-1.
3. IF a person has become contaminated with the substance, notify EMS
immediately.
• If contamination is to the eyes, check MSDS and if indicated assist
the victim to the closest eye wash station AWAY from the spill. Flush
eyes thoroughly for at least 15 minutes and ensure 9-1-1 has been
called.
• If contamination is to the skin, check MSDS and if indicated wash the
affected area as quickly as possible; continue to flush the skin for at
least 15 minutes and call 9-1-1 for chemical burns.
IF possible to do so SAFELY, position a responsible person at locations
outside the immediate spill area to direct people, traffic, etc., AWAY from the
spill.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 9 of 22
Bomb Threat
Procedure 1. Notify Site Supervisor and Safety Supervisor
2. Notify Police (9-1-1)
3. Follow any instructions received from the Police
4. The receiver of the call should attempt to get as much information as
possible.
5. Fill out the Bomb Threat Checklist as soon as possible and relay to
Police.
6. Do NOT attempt to locate, move, or disarm any suspicious items. Inform
authorities of the item when they arrive. Alert others to stay clear of the
item.

Severe Weather
Tornado or
Severe Weather
Alerts
1. Notification of an approaching storm will be made by the National
Weather Service and relayed to supervisors by the Safety Supervisor, or
his 2nd
-shift designee. Supervisors should relay appropriate warning
information to employees in their area, and review the Tornado Shelter
location (Interior room of main building).
2. As much as possible, all employees should attempt to keep abreast of
changing weather conditions. Tornados and severe weather can develop
quickly, and without warning. If threatening conditions seem imminent,
seek shelter; even in the absence of official weather warnings/tornado
alerts. Waiting can be a fatal mistake!
3. The National Weather Service will issue weather advisories/warnings.
During weather emergencies, ALL employees, visitors, and contractors
MUST take shelter IMMEDIATELY. Supervisors are responsible for
accounting for the employees in their charge.
4. Remain in shelter until the “All-Clear” is given.
5. Remember: straight-line winds can do as much, or even greater damage
than a tornado. If instructed to seek shelter, do not waste time arguing
about the need for shelter…evacuate immediately to the designated
shelter area.
Ice, Sleet, or
Snow
Notification of a major ice/sleet/snow storm will be made by the National
Weather Service. Site management will decide if early closing/late opening is
indicated. If conditions in your local area are not safe for travel, your own
best judgment must be used.

Fire
Procedure 1. If Fire Alarm sounds, evacuate the building as quickly as possible,
following established evacuation routes. Be prepared to use an alternate
route if your primary escape route is blocked by fire. If a fire is observed
and no alarm is sounding, activate the fire alarm and evacuate the
building.
2. Ensure 9-1-1 is called from a safe location. Try to provide the dispatcher
with as much information as possible as to: where the fire is located,
what is burning, if everyone has evacuated the area, if people are
trapped, etc. Remember, the dispatcher hangs up FIRST.
3. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring the evacuation of their crew,
and for conducting a Personnel Accountability Report (PAR).
• At the start of a shift supervisors will record the names and duties of
their crew.
• Upon evacuation, supervisors will escort their crew out of harm’s way.
• The Safety Supervisor (or the 2nd
-shift designee) will contact all
supervisors by radio or in-person to verify total evacuation of the
building/structure.
4. The PAR will be used to determine if all are accounted for, or if anyone is
missing.
• By utilizing the PAR, the supervisor should be able to relay to
firefighters, the last known location of the missing person in order to
facilitate a more efficient/timely search and rescue effort.
Key Points IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER in the EVENT of a FIRE:
1. Do NOT use a fire extinguisher unless 9-1-1 has been called, you are
trained to use it, AND can do so SAFELY.
• Remember “PASS:”
• PULL the pin
• AIM at the base of the fire
• SQUEEZE the handle
• SWEEP back and forth
• Be sure to leave yourself an escape route
• Most extinguishers only last 10-20 seconds!

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 14 of 22
Fire, Continued
Key Points
(continued)
2. If you observe employees, visitors, or contractors not taking the fire alarm
seriously, please encourage them to do so. This can save their life, and
will reduce risks to the firefighters.
3. Do not stop to retrieve personal belongings or make phone calls. If
possible and if it can be done SAFELY, take your car keys with you in
case vehicles need to be moved to make room for fire apparatus. NEVER
return into a burning building.
4. Use posted evacuation routes; be prepared to take an alternate route if
your primary means of egress is blocked by fire or other hazard (ie. throw
a chair through a window and escape through window).
5. If things are falling on or around you, get under a sturdy table or desk
until they stop falling.
6. Leave quickly, but DO NOT PANIC. Panic results in more injury and
death in large occupancy fires than the fire itself (in most cases).
7. If possible, and ensuring it will not trap anybody, close doors behind you
to limit fire spread (office area).
8. When approaching a closed door that may lead to a burning room use
the back of your hand to feel the lower, middle, and upper parts of the
door before opening it. If the door is hot, find another way out. NEVER
use the palm or your fingers to test for heat. Burning these areas could
severely impair your ability to escape the fire.
9. If the door is NOT HOT, open it slowly and ensure that fire and/or smoke
is not blocking your escape route. If your route is blocked, close the door
immediately, and find another route.
10. Remember to “stay low and go” where smoke conditions exist. Cleaner
and cooler air will be found near the floor, be prepared to crawl if
necessary.
11. ALWAYS keep in mind at least 2 ways out of your area, in the event that
your primary escape route becomes blocked.
FIRE DOUBLES IN SIZE EVERY 30 SECONDS!

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 15 of 22
Medical Emergency
Procedure 1. In the event of a medical or emotional emergency, keep the area clear. In
general, victims should NOT be moved unless other hazards pose an
immediate threat to life. For a medical victim (non-trauma), generally a
“position of comfort” is desirable, especially for chest pains and difficulty
breathing.
2. CALL 9-1-1, notify your supervisor, and the Safety Supervisor.
3. Position fellow employees to guide emergency responders to the patient.
4. Ask bystanders to leave; try to protect the victim’s privacy as much as
possible.
5. Try to calm, and reassure the victim. Keeping an emergency victim calm,
while a challenge, is a tremendous help to them.
6. Offer first aid if you are trained and willing to do so.
• NOTE: Offering first aid outside of your job duties would be done as a
“Good Samaritan.”
• Already certified First Responders, EMT-Basics, Paramedics, etc.
may offer care, but will only be allowed to function at the level of their
abilities.
7. If blood is released, notify your supervisor. Qualified personnel will
handle any blood/body fluid clean-up, using provided clean up kits
(located with the First Aid kits).
8. If you attempt to help the victim, ensure your safety; both from hazards at
the scene and from potential Blood borne Pathogens (BBP). Use
provided medical gloves, CPR masks, etc., located in the First Aid kits.
9. If you feel that you were exposed to blood or other infectious materials
through providing First Aid, a needle stick, etc., contact the Safety
Supervisor as soon as possible for information regarding medical
attention and reporting.
10. An Automated External Defibrillators (AED) will be located in the main
office, AED training will be offered periodically to interested employees.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 16 of 22
Chemical or Biological Emergency
Procedure 1. LISTEN for instructions from authorities such as to remain inside
(“Shelter in-Place”) or to evacuate.
2. If you are instructed to Shelter in-Place during a chemical or biological
attack:
• If A/C or fan controls are in the room, turn off ALL ventilation, air
conditioners, vents, and fans.
• Seek shelter in an internal room, preferably one without windows.
• Remain in protected areas where toxic vapors are reduced or
eliminated.
3. If you are caught in an unprotected area, you should:
• Attempt to get up-wind of the contaminated area.
• Attempt to find shelter as quickly as possible.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 17 of 22
Nuclear or Radiological Emergency
Procedure 1. LISTEN for instructions from authorities such as whether to remain inside
(“Shelter in-Place”) or to evacuate. If you are instructed to Shelter in-
Place during a nuclear or radiological emergency:
• Take cover as quickly as you can and stay there unless instructed
to do otherwise.
• If you are caught outside, unable to get inside immediately, take
cover behind anything that might offer protection. Lie flat on the
ground and cover your head.
• Key protection ideas in nuclear/radiological emergencies:
• Shielding: get behind anything that may block radiation.
• Time: try to minimize the amount of time you are exposed.
• Distance: the farther you are from the source, the better.
2. Do NOT look at the flash or fireball. It is bright enough, it CAN BLIND
YOU!
3. Protect yourself from radioactive fallout. If you are close enough to see
the brilliant flash of a nuclear explosion, the fallout will arrive within 20
minutes.
4. LISTEN for official information. FOLLOW the instructions given. Local
instructions should ALWAYS take precedence: officials on the ground
know the local situation best.
5. Do not leave the shelter until officials say that it is safe. Follow their
instructions when leaving.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 18 of 22
Site Evacuation
Procedure 1. In the event that the site must be evacuated, act quickly, but DO NOT
PANIC! Panic often leads to more injuries and deaths than the actual
emergency. Pay close attention to your surroundings as you exit.
Incidents such as FIRE or HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RELEASES may
require you to choose an alternate route quickly.
2. Any gate should be opened immediately after leaving the site, to
allow for employees to assemble and to allow emergency response
vehicles access.
3. Once you are away from the site, stay clear of any entryways to facilitate
emergency responder access to the emergency. Be aware of fire hoses
that may be present so that you do not trip over them. Watch out for
responders carrying bulky equipment.
4. If possible to do so SAFELY, and if immediately available, take your car
keys with you in case vehicles need to be moved to make room for
emergency vehicles.
5. Do NOT re-enter the building until instructed to do so by Plant
Management and/or emergency responders. Do NOT take it upon
yourself to turn off an alarm or to “give an all-clear.” ONLY the
emergency responders can do this. Plant Management will work closely
with the Incident Commander (IC) throughout the incident to ensure your
safety, and that of the facility.
6. If you observe fellow employees, visitors, contractors, etc. not taking an
alarm or evacuation request seriously; please encourage them to do so.
This may save their life, and will reduce the risks to emergency
personnel.
7. Upon evacuation, Supervisors will conduct a Personnel Accountability
Report (PAR) of the employees in their charge. The Safety Supervisor (or
2nd
shift designee) will meet with each Supervisor in-person, or by radio
to ensure all are accounted for. Anyone missing MUST be reported
IMMEDIATELY so that Firefighters can be notified. Be sure to state
where and when the employee was last seen, so as to initiate the most
timely/efficient/safest Search and Rescue effort by the Firefighters.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 19 of 22
Tower Evacuation
Overview It is the intent of this evacuation plan to provide a standard operating policy
for most tower emergency situations. In times of emergency, the chaos that
often ensues can lead to poor decision making thereby putting personnel in
greater danger than they should be. Emergency situations are dynamic and
require proper procedures be followed to ensure the ultimate safety of all
personnel. The information covered here is not all inclusive, when situations
arise that are different than or are not included in this document it is
imperative to leave decision making to the professionals, call 911.
Up-tower
Medical
Emergencies
Minor Injuries: In the event of an injury to personnel in the tower, it is
important to assess the situation for hazards to you as the rescuer. Once the
scene is determined to be safe, the victim should be evaluated and cared for.
For minor injuries (cuts or scrapes) it is advised to assist to victim in
obtaining the necessary equipment from the medical kit kept in the Nacelle to
mitigate the situation. Always notify your supervisor of any injuries sustained
while in the turbine and be sure to fill out an accident report immediately
upon returning to the office.
Major Injuries: Injuries that leave personnel unable to exit the tower
unassisted require a careful assessment of a complicated situation. As with
previously, the rescuer must evaluate for areas of potential harm to himself
or others. Once the scene is determined to be safe, care should be rendered
to the victim to treat any and all life threatening situations. The victim’s
airway should be clear, they should be breathing, and they should have
circulation. An immediate call to base should be made over the two-way
radio to inform of the emergency and 9-1-1 should be called to activate EMS
response. The victim should not be moved if there is any evidence of head
or spinal injury. All major bleeding should be controlled and broken limbs be
stabilized until professional rescuers arrive. After rescuers determine it is
safe to do so, the patient may be removed from the tower via whatever
acceptable means necessary (ie. climbing harness and emergency descent
device inside tower, stokes basket and emergency descent device outside of
tower, etc…).

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 20 of 22
Tower Evacuation, Continued
Up-tower
Medical
Emergencies
(continued)
Medical Emergency: Medical emergencies in the turbine can be for any
number of reasons but can pose very similar challenges. Heat exhaustion,
heart attack, stroke, and diabetic emergencies are some of the many
possibilities that can arise without warning. Notify the base at once of the
emergency and get EMS activated. Check the victim to verify an open
airway, breathing, and circulation. In the absence of breathing and or
circulation, begin appropriate CPR measures if trained. If not trained,
emergency dispatchers on 9-1-1 can often talk you through CPR.
Evacuation can be achieved with the already present up-tower emergency
descent devise in tower or out tower using a climbing harness or stokes
basket as directed by emergency personnel.
Fire
Emergencies
Fire in the tower is a situation in which the correct actions must be taken
immediately to ensure safe evacuation. Depending on the location of the fire
relative to your position, several evacuation routes are possible.
Fire Below: In the event you are in the tower and a fire occurs below you at
the base, up-tower evacuation is the only choice. Notify base by radio and
have them call 9-1-1 to notify the fire department. Proceed up into the
Nacelle and open the roll up door. Affix the emergency descent device to the
jib crane and the front D-ring on your safety harness. Descend to the ground
either one at a time or two at a time as required. As one individual descends
down the other end of the descent device comes back up for the next
individual to descend. If the roll up door will not open, you can descend from
the Nacelle top by attaching to the safety rail.

DC-025804-01 Rev A Page 21 of 22
Tower Evacuation, Continued
Fire
Emergencies
(continued)
Fire in the Nacelle while you are in the Nacelle: If you are in the Nacelle and
a fire occurs, two options present themselves. If you are able to evacuate
quickly without any harm through the spill deck, do so immediately and climb
down as quickly and safely as possible. If you cannot get to the spill deck
due to fire conditions, one individual should affix the emergency descent
device to the jib crane chain as low as possible (preferably below the area of
fire) while the other individual fights the fire with the up-tower fire
extinguisher. Notify base of the emergency as soon as can safely be done
by radio and have them call 9-1-1. Both individuals should then descend
together as soon as the descent device is attached and is safe to do so.
Fire above you: Notify base of the fire emergency by radio and have them
call 9-1-1. Descend the tower as quickly as possible using the ladder.
In all instances, do not worry about taking tools, computers, or personal
belongings. All items can be replaced but life cannot. Evacuate as quickly
as can safely be done.

1. Secure or isolate the area if possible. Reflective safety cones are
available for this purpose.
2. Notify your supervisor of the problem.
3. If you can, consider resolving the problem yourself (grabbing the mop
from the utility closet, for example).
Odors If strange odors should arise, and the origin cannot be determined, notify
your Supervisor.
Flooding If areas of the plant become flooded, notify your Supervisor and Plant
Management. Do NOT enter an area where electrical equipment may be in
contact with the water.
Other Hazards 1. While this guide is as comprehensive as possible, there is no way to
predict/plan for every possible emergency or unusual situation that may
arise. You, as an employee, MUST be able to use your common sense to
recognize an unusual/hazardous situation, and to take steps appropriate
to the situation.
2. Secure the affected area; notify your Supervisor, Plant Manager, Safety
Supervisor, etc. as appropriate.
3. Always remember, YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST!

DC-006571-01 REV D
Policy Overview
Purpose
The purpose of the Clipper Windpower Inc. (Clipper Windpower) Injury and Illness Prevention Program
(IIPP) is designed to have a coordinated and comprehensive approach to health and safety matters.
Companywide commitment to health and safety is maintained specifically in supporting programs listed
in the Clipper Windpower SharePoint and Quality Management System.
Working Philosophy
It is the intent of Clipper Windpower to comply with all applicable state, local and federal standards and
regulations. To do this, we must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas that may produce
injuries and illnesses. No employee is required to work at a job he or she knows is not safe or healthy.
Cooperation in identifying hazards and, in turn, correcting them, is a condition of employment.
Employees shall inform their supervisor immediately of any situation beyond their ability or authority to
correct.
The personal safety and health of each employee of this company is of primary importance. Prevention
of occupationally-induced injuries and illnesses is of such consequence that it will be given precedence
over operating productivity whenever necessary. To the greatest degree possible, management will
provide all mechanical and physical activities required for personal safety and health in keeping with the
highest standards.
Clipper will maintain a safety and health program conforming to the best practices of organizations of
this type. To be successful, such a program must embody proper attitudes toward injury and illness
prevention on the part of supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and
health matters, not only between supervisor and employee, but also between each employee and
his/her co-workers. Only through such a cooperative effort will this safety program, in the best interest
of all, be established and preserved.
Our objective is a safety and health program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an
absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing the best experience of operations similar
to ours. Our goal is zero injuries and illnesses.
Awareness Expectations
Every employee shall be trained and aware of the Clipper Windpower IIPP requirements. Employees,
contractors and subcontractors shall give consideration to health and safety issues before, during and
after every applicable job task. Our goal is to achieve 100% compliance with federal, state and local
regulatory standards, in addition to Clipper Windpower operational requirements. These requirements
help sustain a “world class” IIPP and ensure admirable health and safety performance across all facets
of the organization.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Program Strategic Objectives
The Program is designed to:
 Reinforce management commitment to the Health and Safety Program
 Provide a communication system with our employees concerning health and safety, and to
encourage feedback
 Continually develop a health and safety system that ensures employee compliance
 Effectively identify and evaluate workplace hazards in the design, construction and operational
phases
 Conduct vigorous accident and near miss investigations
 Establish methods for correcting unsafe or unhealthy conditions
 Establish a training and certification program for employees

DC-006571-01 REV D
Leadership and Commitment Responsibilities
Program Administrator
The Clipper Windpower program Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) director is the IIPP
administrator. He or she is responsible for carefully reviewing the requirements for each of the eight
IIPP elements. The EHS director also has the authority and responsibility to implement the provisions of
this program.
Data Management System (DMS)
Clipper Windpower utilizes a Quality Management System and document repository (DMS). This
system supports the monitoring of preventative and corrective action items through completion.
Managers and Supervisors
Managers and supervisors are responsible for implementing and maintaining the provisions of the IIPP
in their work areas and for answering employee questions about the IIPP. A copy of the IIPP is
available from each manager, the EHS SharePoint web site, as well as DMS. Management is also
responsible for providing the resources, tools and equipment necessary for Clipper Windpower
personnel, and providing the means for contractors and subcontractors to ensure a safe and healthy
work environment. Managers and supervisors are also responsible for ensuring that a work
environment which supports open reporting of EHS concerns without fear of reprisal or discrimination is
available to all employees.
Contractors and Subcontractors
Clipper Windpower Managers, Employees, Contractors and Subcontractors
Contractors and subcontractors shall take necessary measures and precautions to ensure the safety of
all personnel on the worksite. Contractors and subcontractors shall comply with all federal, state, and
local regulatory standards necessary to protect health, prevent injury to personnel and prevent damage
to property or the environment. Contractors and subcontractors deemed high risk are required to obtain
membership into PICS to prequalify their businesses to provide services to Clipper Windpower. PICS
will provide Clipper Windpower with documentation that contractors and subcontractors are compliant
with all regulations and qualified as a safe company to work with.
Clipper Windpower managers, employees, contractors and subcontractors have individual and shared
responsibilities to keep Clipper Windpower facilities safe and healthy.
EVERYONE HAS THE AUTHORITY, AND IS REQUIRED TO STOP WORK WITHOUT FEAR OF
REPRISAL WHEN A JOB TASK OR WORK CONDITION IS UNSAFE OR UNHEALTHY. ANY
EMPLOYEE WHO FEELS THEY ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR REPORTING AN
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OR SAFETY CONDITION SHOULD CONTACT THE CLIPPER
WINDPOWER HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Organization, Resources and Documentation
Compliance
Every employer is required by law (Cal OSHA Labor Code Section 6400 and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970) to provide a safe and healthy workplace for their employees.
The Clipper Windpower IIPP complies with and satisfies the requirements of Cal-OSHA Title (T) 8
California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 3203 of the General Industry Safety Orders which
requires every employer to establish, implement, and maintain an effective written Injury and Illness
Prevention Program.
Health and Safety Communication
Clipper Windpower personnel, contractors and subcontractors conducting work activities at Clipper
Windpower facilities are informed via diverse media of known hazards in the workplace.
New Hires
Clipper Windpower new hires, new contractors and new subcontractors shall receive task specific, site-
specific EHS training and orientations at the beginning of their employment.
Committees
Clipper Windpower management has established an EHS Committee in which all classifications of
employees are represented. As part of this multi-level committee, Clipper Windpower has EHS
Coordinators at each facility or project location. The function of this committee is to promote various
activities as a means to ensure adherence to the health and safety program in the workplace.
Meetings
Clipper Windpower uses these committee meetings as a method of communicating health and safety
matters internally, externally, and to different levels in the organization. EHS performance issues,
incidents, incentives and investigations are reviewed in these meetings, which result in suggestions
and/or corrective actions if necessary.
At the field level Clipper Windpower contractors and subcontractors conduct weekly Safety and daily
tailgate meetings to discuss associated job hazards. Additional department meetings are held on a
weekly basis, along with ongoing reporting to senior management.
Publications
EHS publications are a series of procedures and processes listed in our DMS and EHS web site, in
addition to safety bulletins issued throughout the company.
EHS Scorecard
Environmental Health and Safety goals are an integral part of Clipper Windpower business objectives,
and are included in company business plans and performance incentives. Clipper Windpower and
contractor performance is tracked and monitored to report yearly EHS goals and progress, specifically
related to performance.
Recognition
Clipper Windpower uses several methods to recognize employee efforts toward outstanding
compliance with the Health and Safety Program. The primary method of acknowledgment lies within the
annual review process; each employee is evaluated (in part) by EHS compliance throughout the year.
This weighs heavily on merit pay increase or bonus, if applicable.

DC-006571-01 REV D
HAZCOM
The purpose of the Hazard Communications Program (HAZCOM) is to communicate the health, safety
and environmental hazards of chemical substances present in the workplace to Clipper Windpower
employees, contractors and subcontractors. The primary means for this communication is a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each known chemical, at each Clipper Windpower facility or project
location.
Employee Feedback
In support of a safe and healthy workplace, the following methods have been implemented to
encourage employee feedback on health and safety issues:
 Safety Suggestions
 Personnel Performance Reviews
 Safety Observation Conversations (SOCs)
 Near-Miss Reports
 EHS Representatives
Employees shall feel comfortable in the fact that they are able to report EHS concerns at any time
without the fear of discrimination or reprisal for doing so. Clipper Windpower personnel can also report
concerns, recommendations or suggestions anonymously if that is their preference by contacting the
director of EHS or their human resources representative directly.
Health and Safety Training
Training and awareness for the Health and Safety Program is accomplished through several methods,
including:
 Monthly H&S Training Sessions
 Health and Safety Bulletins
 Clipper Windpower Safety Orientation
 Safety Meetings
 Tool Box Talks
 Lessons Learned Discussions
Training is provided to employees, supervisors and managers per OSHA and Clipper Windpower
requirements. Where appropriate, consideration is given to Awareness Programs for the public. Certain
jobs or tasks require specific mandatory occupational health and safety training before an employee is
allowed to participate in the activity. This training requirement is identified in the regulations, industry
standards and company guidelines.
Health and Safety Orientation is conducted for all Clipper Windpower personnel with respect to the
hazards unique to employee job assignments. The orientation is facilitated via an instructor, CD or
web-based training program which includes evaluations to verify employee understanding. The Safety
Orientation covers a variety of issues, including hazardous substance safety (Hazard Communication),
fire prevention techniques, emergency reporting, lockout/tag out, and first aid practices.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Clipper Windpower personnel, contractors, and subcontractors conducting work activities at Clipper
Windpower facilities are informed of the safety or health hazards in the workplace through documented
training and meetings.
This training is conducted by Clipper Windpower EHS personnel, representatives from the Clipper
Training Department, or approved management teams. All persons are made aware of the work
hazards identified in the Clipper Windpower facility in which they are currently working.
Contractor management is responsible to ensure employees and subcontractors complete all required
training for the applicable tasks being performed.
The following resources are used to establish training needs, retention and continuing education
requirements:
 Trending of Incidents
 Checklists
 Employee-Based Observations
 Health and Safety Audits
 Inspection Results
 Hazard Assessments
 Exposure Evaluations
Alternate training methods used at Clipper Windpower facilities:
 Site Specific Safety Orientation
 Weekly Safety Meetings
 Tailgate Meetings

 Safe Work System (permitting)
 Hazard Communication
 Bulletin Board Postings
 Near Miss Program
 Safety Observation Conversations (SOCs)
Training materials and related documents are available for review at the Clipper Windpower Training or
Human Resources Departments upon request.
Health and Safety Record Keeping
CAL-OSHA title 8 section 3204 subchapter 7 and 29 CFR 1910.1020 regulations set forth requirements
for the maintenance and retention of records for occupational injuries and illnesses. Records are also
required for medical surveillance, exposure monitoring, inspections, and other activities and incidents
relevant to occupational health and safety.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Clipper Windpower recognizes that an employee and his/her designated representative(s) and
authorized representatives of the Chief of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) have
a right to access relevant exposure and medical records. Such access is necessary to yield both direct
and indirect improvements in the detection, treatment and prevention of occupational diseases.
Whenever an employee or designated representative requests access to a record, Clipper Windpower
shall ensure that such access is provided in reasonable time, place, and manner.
Documents related to the IIPP are maintained in a safe and convenient location for record keeping.
Documents that should be kept on file include:
1. Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. Records of occupational injuries and illnesses will be kept on
file in Human Resources or the EHS Department for five (5) years and are available for review by
OSHA at any time.
2. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Each MSDS received by the Company must be maintained
for at least thirty (30) years. If an MSDS is not available, some record of the identity (chemical
name, if known) of the substance or agent, where it was used, and when it was used must be
retained for at least thirty (30) years.
3. Employee Exposure Records. Each Employee exposure record will be preserved and maintained
by Clipper Windpower for at least thirty (30) years except certain background data on workplace
monitoring and certain biological monitoring results.
Employee exposure records include workplace monitoring or measuring of a toxic substance or
harmful physical agent, and biological monitoring results that directly assess the absorption of a
toxic substance or harmful physical agent by body systems. They will also include MSDS and,
without the above, a chemical inventory or any other record that reveals where and when used
along with identity of a toxic substance or harmful physical agent.
Regulated carcinogens have additional reporting and recordkeeping requirements under OSHA
Regulations.
Medical records and documentation related to occupational health are maintained in a confidential
manner by the Clipper Windpower Human Resources Department. Records are retained for the
duration of an individual’s employment plus 30 years or as otherwise required by applicable Clipper
Windpower Retention Schedules or Regulations.
4. The medical record for employees that participate in any company provided annual medical exams.
These records will be preserved and maintained for at least the duration of employment plus thirty
(30 years). There is an exception for certain health insurance claims records, first aid records, or
the medical records of employees who have worked for less than one (1) year if they are provided
to the employee upon termination of employment.

DC-006571-01 REV D
5. Employee Exposure and Medical Record Analysis. Each analysis using exposure or medical
records will be preserved and maintained for at least thirty (30) years.
6. Documentation of Activities. Essential records, including those legally required for worker
compensation, insurance audits and government inspections, will be maintained for as long as
required. Clipper Windpower also will keep records of steps taken to establish and maintain the
Injury and Illness Prevention Program. They must include:
A. Records of scheduled and periodic inspections to identify unsafe conditions and work practices.
The documentation includes the name of the person(s) conducting the inspection, date and time
of the inspection, the unsafe conditions and work practices identified, and the corrective
action(s) taken. These records will be maintained for at least three years.
B. Documentation of Health and Safety Training for each Employee. Records must be retained for
a minimum of three years, documenting employee name or other identifier, training dates,
type(s) of training and the name of training provider. Training records will be kept in Clipper
Windpower Human Resources or Training Department files as appropriate.
Evaluation and Risk
Hazard Assessment
Clipper Windpower evaluates hazards through various methods designed for specific purposes. Clipper
Windpower policy, procedures, and safety practices are designed to prevent injury and illness through
the identification, evaluation, and correction of work place hazards. These practices include scheduled
or unannounced inspections and assessments to identify safe or unsafe conditions and work practices.
This process also includes the recommendation of safe work practices, procedures, and precautionary
measures. Clipper Windpower tracks incident findings resulting from recommendations and
observations throughout the company.
Hazard assessments are performed when new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment are
introduced at a Clipper Windpower facility that represent a new occupational health and safety hazard.
These assessments are also performed when Clipper Windpower is made aware of previously
unrecognized hazards.
Clipper Windpower EHS representative and management personnel conduct routine workplace
inspections of all Clipper Windpower facilities. “At risk” conditions are identified through the inspection
process. Conditions identified as “near miss-high risk” and “near miss-low risk” are corrected
immediately. Inspection and corrective action documentation is available through the Clipper
Windpower EHS Department.
The Clipper Windpower EHS Policy Handbook is the core document for safe work and also links the
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) along with other specialized employee protection requirements. Known
hazards and appropriate precautions must be documented on a JSA and communicated to all
individuals directly involved.
EHS management conducts periodic health and safety inspections of all Clipper Windpower facilities
and associated job sites. If a hazard is noted and needs to be addressed, it is documented and entered
into Industry Safety.
Safety Observation Conversations (SOCs) are implemented at all Clipper Windpower facilities.
Observations are designed to identify safe work practices and to identify any at-risk behaviors. The
Company EHS Committee is also in place to manage and provide oversight regarding this program.

DC-006571-01 REV D
EHS representative use approved checklists to evaluate:
 Workplace Hazards or Conditions
 Health and Safety Regulations
 Generally Recognized Safe Work Practices
 Physical Hazards
 Use of Any Hazardous Materials
Checklist reviews may include equipment, chemicals, work practices and OSHA Standards, as a
minimum.
If determined that an unsafe or unhealthy condition exists, Clipper Windpower will take appropriate
steps to protect employees and correct the condition in a timely manner based upon the severity of the
hazard. Actions taken to correct or address hazards are documented and tracked by the Clipper
Windpower EHS team.
First Aid
Clipper shall provide, maintain and make available at all sites and facilities services for the treatment of
injured persons. Clipper shall ensure the availability of medical personnel for advice and consultation
on matters of plant or site health. In the absence of an infirmary, clinic or hospital in near proximity to
the workplace, which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be
adequately trained to render first aid or CPR. First aid supplies shall be readily available at all sites.
Contact an EHS representative should you have any questions regarding approved first aid supplies.
All injuries shall be reported as soon as possible. First aid shall be rendered until medical attention can
be provided. Clipper shall coordinate first aid training for personnel through the American Red Cross,
the National Safety Council or other private institutions; most provide first aid, CPR, Universal
precaution and AED courses throughout the United States via their local chapters. Contact an EHS
representative or the Clipper training department and the site/facility supervisor to assist in scheduling
this required training for site and facility personnel.
CFR 1910.269(b)
Medical services and first aid - The employer shall provide medical services and first aid.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training - When employees are performing
work on or associated with exposed lines or equipment energized at 50 volts or more, persons
trained in first aid including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) shall be available as follows:
For field work involving two or more employees at a work location, at least two trained persons shall
be available. However, only one trained person need be available if all new employees are trained
in first aid, including CPR, within 3 months of their hiring dates.
For fixed work locations such as generating stations, the number of trained persons available shall
be sufficient to ensure that each employee exposed to electric shock can be reached within four
minutes by a trained person. However, where the existing number of employees is insufficient to
meet this requirement (at a remote substation, for example), all employees at the work location
shall be trained.
First aid supplies - First aid supplies shall be placed in weatherproof containers if the supplies
could be exposed to the weather.

DC-006571-01 REV D
First aid kits - Each first aid kit shall be:
• Maintained
• Readily available for use
• Inspected once yearly at minimum to ensure that expended items are replaced
Planning
Health & Safety Planning, Rules and Work Procedures
Clipper Windpower uses a systematic approach to Health and Safety. To achieve compliance, Clipper
Windpower utilizes an Environmental, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS). The EHSMS
defines a seven-element structure, which is shown in the Appendix of this document.
As part of the structure, Clipper Windpower measures performance by establishing annual goals and
tracking performance of Clipper Windpower employees, contractors and subcontractors. Clipper
Windpower communicates the results with leadership weekly.
Health and safety management is integrated into the business process through budgeting and planning
exercises. Clipper Windpower prepares yearly plans that include EHS aspects. Information gathered
from various formal channels (e.g. inspections, audits, surveys and others) support the making of these
plans and proper allocation of resources.
Hazards, unsafe or unhealthy work conditions, practices, or procedures shall be prevented, or if
detected, shall be corrected in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazards. Hazards can be
corrected by employees, contractor personnel, as well as by management.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Implementation and Monitoring
Injury, Illness or Exposure Investigation
Procedures for investigating workplace accidents and hazardous substance exposures include:
 Visiting the accident scene as soon as possible
 Interviewing injured workers and witnesses
 Examining the workplace for factors associated with the accident or exposure
 Determining the cause of the accident or exposure
 Taking corrective actions to prevent the accident or exposure from recurring
 Recording the findings and corrective actions taken
Clipper Windpower investigates all incidents, illnesses and near misses utilizing its Root Cause
Analysis process located in the DMS.
Clipper Windpower California based facilities comply with Cal-OSHA General industry Safety Order,
Section 3204, which requires that employees exposed to toxic substances or harmful agents record
such incidents. Clipper Windpower facilities located outside of California comply with 29 CFR
1910.1020 as well as state mandated EHS policies. Toxic substances and harmful agents include:
 Materials listed in the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH)
 Materials listed in The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Hazards (RTECS)
 Substances which have evidenced an acute health hazard by testing conducted by or known to
the employer
 Substances in a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) kept by or known to the employer
indicating that the material may pose a Health hazard
As per Appendix B of Cal OSHA General Industry Safety Order, Section 3204 and
29 CFR 1910.1020:
It must be reemphasized that the entry of a substance in the Registry does not
automatically mean that it must be avoided. A listing does mean, however, that the
substance has the documented potential being harmful if misused, and care must be
exercised to prevent tragic consequences.

DC-006571-01 REV D
Auditing and Review
Safety Inspections and Audits
Clipper Windpower performs self-assessments at different levels of detail in accordance with Cal-OSHA
recommendations. EHS Personnel conduct an annual internal assessment of operational conformance
with the EHSMS Plan and IIPP. This annual assessment includes a compliance review of Clipper
Windpower performance standards, and where discrepancies are identified, recommendations and
corresponding corrective or preventative actions are generated. Clipper Windpower carries out
announced and unannounced internal compliance audits and assessments. Compliance issues
recorded in the DMS ensure closure of corresponding action items.
Clipper Windpower also performs specific contractor EHS audits to verify compliance with the EHS
requirements of their contractors.
Tracking of compliance is done through the corrective or preventative action processes that reside in
several programs - the corporate incident tracking program, the SOC program, the site audits, and
others.
Clipper Windpower management and staff review and follow closure of action items through reports
generated out of several programs. Employees are informed through EHS team meetings, operational,
or tailgate meetings.

Personnel using a personal vehicle for authorized Company business are
required to have personal auto liability insurance coverage equal to at least
$500,000 for personal injury and $100,000 for property damage.
Use of personal vehicle on Company business is compensated by means of
a mileage reimbursement, consistent with the IRS Code. Included in the
mileage reimbursement are the costs of fuel, any repairs and maintenance,
any accidental damage repairs, any deductible as selected by the employee
in their personal auto insurance coverage and all other costs applicable to
the vehicle’s use.
Any personnel determined to be “un-insurable” by Clipper’s current auto
insurance carrier will not be permitted to operate a vehicle on Company
business and may be subject to dismissal depending on the employee’s job
requirements.
The driver shall adhere to Clipper’s STANDARDS OF CONDUCT and
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS as well as all other guidelines as
officially declared in the Clipper Windpower Employee handbook.
Seat belts must be used at all times. The number of passengers may not
exceed the number of seatbelts and no more than 12 passengers may ride in
any van. Standing in open bed trucks is prohibited.
For long distance trips, if there is more than one qualified driver, such drivers
should consider rotating every 3 hours. No driver may drive more than 10
hours during a 24 hour period. If there are not enough drivers to rotate, an
overnight stay en-route should be planned.
In the event of severe weather conditions, avoid driving and stay overnight in
a safe place.
Always drive with due consideration to the current weather conditions,
reduce speed and refrain from using cruise control in adverse conditions
such as snow, ice, fog, wind and rain.
Use of cell phones while driving is prohibited, unless the cell phone is used
with a hands free device that does not conflict with local or state driving laws.
A hand-free device still requires 100% focus on the road and driving
conditions.
All accidents must be reported immediately to the local Police Department, or
local authorities where the accident occurred, and the immediate supervisor.
An accident report should be filed with the appropriate local police
department and Clipper Safety personnel.

Operating and
Passenger
Safety and
Responsibility,
continued
Any incident that causes vehicle or property damage of any kind must be
immediately reported to a Clipper supervisor along with an EHS
representative. In addition, the operator of the vehicle must obtain a repair
estimate within 48 hours of the incident and forward that information to their
Regional EHS Representative.
If an employee is issued a moving violation while operating a vehicle on
company business, a report must be filed immediately with their supervisor.
Failure to report a moving violation to site management or their EHS contact
could result in discipline up to and including termination. Traffic and parking
violations are not considered reimbursable costs. Failure to pay such
citations that occurred while driving on company business could result in
disciplinary action up to an including termination.
Proof of automobile insurance is required in most states. Employees should
be aware of the location of the insurance documents in the company
vehicles.
Vehicles must have documentation of insurance within the vehicle at all times
as well as any applicable rental agreements for the vehicle when not owned
by Clipper or the employee.
In conjunction with the Injury and Illness Prevention Program, pursue further
instruction concerning driving in adverse conditions and situations when
applicable and available.
Employees will keep litter or dirt from accumulating in or on company
vehicles, this policy is to emphasize the need to keep our company vehicles
in a safe and clean condition.
The assigned driver of a Clipper vehicle is responsible for ensuring that the
routine maintenance is performed at scheduled intervals per manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Personal
Vehicles
When employees use their personal vehicles on Clipper business, the
individual's personal auto insurance is primarily responsible for any claims
arising out of such use.
Under no circumstances will Clipper Windpower reimburse a driver for
damage to their personal vehicle while being used on Company business.
Vehicle
Management at
Job Site
Site Manager/Supervisors are solely responsible for vehicle management at
their Job Site.
The Site Manager/Supervisor will adhere to the rules and guidelines set forth
in this policy.
The Site Manager/Supervisor may add additional guidelines as appropriate.
Responsibilities of the Site Manager/Supervisor are listed in Appendix B.

Job Site
Parking
When arriving at the work area, notice the wind direction and point the front
of the vehicle into the wind. This will help guard against wind damage to the
vehicle doors when opening them.
The speed limit on all Clipper Windpower jobsites will be posted accordingly,
however, if not posted the maximum speed limit is 15 mph or less depending
on road conditions.
When traveling on company business on any dirt or gravel covered road that
is not considered part of a wind site, the maximum speed limit will be either
the posted speed limit or 35 MPH during daylight hours and 25 MPH at night,
whichever is less. In addition, all employees are required to use common
sense judgment while driving and obey all other traffic laws.
Do not park closer than 30′ from any wind turbine in order to protect the
vehicle from falling objects, tools or other debris.
Vehicle Logs A daily log will be provided that requires the operator to detail the miles
driven for business purposes on a daily basis. Each vehicle will be assigned
to a responsible party who will in return be expected to complete the vehicle
log daily with the date, mileage, location(s) driven, and description of any
damage incurred. If any discrepancies are found, the employee should
document the damage or discrepancy and report it to their supervisor as
soon as possible. Vehicle log books should be kept where they are readily
available to the operator.
Violation of
Policy
Violations of this policy (including falsification of records or other forms of
misrepresentation) could result in the revocation of driving privileges, in
addition to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

Vehicle Requirements

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Introductions
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 emphasized the need for standards to protect
the health and safety of workers exposed to increasing numbers of potential hazards in the workplace.
On October 30, 1989, the Lockout/Tagout Standard, 29 CFR 1910.147, went into effect. It was created
to help reduce the death and injury rate caused by the unexpected energization or start-up of
machines, or the release of stored energy.
The standard covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the
unexpected energization, start-up or release of stored energy could cause injury [29 CFR 1910.147
(a)(l)(i), 1910.147 (a)(2)(i)]. Normal production operations, cords and plugs under exclusive control, and
hot tap operations are not covered [29 CFR 1910.147 (a)(2)(ii)]. This is intended to apply to energy
sources such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, nuclear, and thermal.
The purpose of this document is to provide a means to prevent injuries caused by hazardous energy.
This document was developed to provide a logical means of performing maintenance and servicing
activities safely, with energy present, with energy removed and during the process of reenergizing
This document is meant to be a living document. Any additional hazard or discrepancy found while
completing maintenance or servicing should be reported immediately to direct supervision.
Purpose and Scope
This document is intended to outline methods of protecting workers engaged in maintenance and
service of Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) from injury by the unexpected and unrestricted release of
hazardous energy.
LOTO is a way to prevent energy from being released during the servicing of equipment by placing
locks on energy isolation devices before working on the equipment.
Maintenance activities can be performed with or without energy present. A probable, underlying cause
of many accidents resulting in injury during maintenance is that work is performed without the
knowledge that the system, whether energized or not, can produce hazardous energy. Unexpected and
unrestricted release of hazardous energy can occur if:
• All energy sources are not identified,
• Provisions are not made for safe work practices with energy present; or
• Deactivated energy sources are reactivated, mistakenly, intentionally or accidentally without the
technician’s knowledge.
Problems involving control of hazardous energy require procedural solutions. A procedural solution for
controlling hazards to ensure worker safety during maintenance shall be adopted. However, such
procedures are effective only if strictly enforced. A strict implementation of this document must all be
committed.

Working With or Without Energy Present
The basic decision that must be made before maintenance begins is: Can the task be accomplished
safely with or without energy present or is it necessary to de-energize before initiating maintenance?
Concepts
Concepts which should be considered in this decision include:
• Energy is always present
• Energy is not necessarily dangerous
• Danger is present only when energy is released in quantities which exceed human tolerances
Prior to the development of specific energy control measures, all energy sources should be:
• Identified
• Analyzed independently
• Analyzed in combination with any other energy sources present
Application of Lockout/Tagout Procedures
Internal Reference
Lockout/Tagout Process Map, DC-010917-XX
Lockout/Tagout Annual Certification Form, DC-009638-XX
ID All Energy Sources
• Know types and magnitude of energy associated with equipment.
• ID all energy sources feeding the equipment (including potential energy).
• The Reference Documents listed on the previous page, detail LOTO requirements for specific
equipment. If there are questions pertaining to LOTO procedures contact the immediate
supervisor at once, but never disregard written instructions.
• Gather appropriate control devices.
• Clarify any questionable identification of energy sources before proceeding.
• Check the wind speed. If the wind speed is above the guideline presented in Safe Wind Speed
Limits, DC-136778-XX, for rotor lock application, DO NOT proceed. Wait until the wind speed is
below the limit to apply the rotor lock.
• Manually command blade pitch position to 91.5° using TCUMon software. Before rotor lock pin
is extended, ensure that blades are parked on their limit switches.
Note: In wind speeds of <5 m/s the technician is allowed to rotate blades as necessary to achieve a
slow rotor rotation to align the receiving plate hole with rotor lock pin. This is done with one technician
controlling the rotor lock manifold (Figure) and one technician in the nacelle belly, visually observing the
lineup. Ensure rotor is NOT turning in excess of 1/4 RPM and set parking brake by turning brake knob
counterclockwise until it clicks. Once pinned, the blades must be rotated to 91.5°.

Voltage meter inspection
1. Verify that the meter and leads are proper category (CAT1, 2, 3 or 4) for the system that you are
using it on.
2. Verify that the meter has a current calibration sticker.
3. Verify that the meter inspection seal has not been broken.
4. Inspect the meter for any damage.
HOT-COLD-HOT check
1. Using a known live source, verify the meter for proper operation and display.
2. Check the system where work is to be performed for the presence of any voltage.
3. Verify the meter function again on the same, previous known live source.
Notify Others
Notify RMDC to let them know what operation is being preformed and the site and serial number of the
turbine, etc. The RMDC phone number is: +1 (319) 362 1178.
Communication between the field turbine and the RMDC center is live and streaming.
Notify site supervisor of pending LOTO and service.
Verbally notify all affected employees of impending shutdown.
Wait for verbal acknowledgment that all affected employees are in a safe condition before proceeding.

Ensure all potential or residual energy is released or controlled.
• block elevated parts
• block/release springs
• relieve system pressure
• drain fluids
• vent gases
• allow system to cool
• discharge capacitors
• stop rotating flywheels
Verify Isolation
Before any servicing begins, verify the effectiveness of LOTO.

Dissipate Energy
To cause energy to be spread out or reduced to levels tolerable by humans. The following concepts
should be used to determine the dissipation activities:
Dissipate mechanical motion – motion tends to continue because of inertia after the removal of
energy; therefore, mechanical motion should be dissipated. An obvious example is the main shaft
should be allowed to come to rest before inserting the rotor lock.
Dissipate potential energy – potential energy can be manifested in the form of gravity, springs, and
pressure.
• Gravity can never be eliminated or dissipated; it can only be controlled.
• Springs under tension or compression can be released or the stored energy can be controlled.
• Pressure may be blocked, isolated, or dissipated. The term dissipate pressure implies reducing
pressure to a level that would not harm humans. Normally, this pressure value is atmospheric.
Dissipate electrical energy –may be accomplished by grounding the de-electrified portion of the
circuit after it has been isolated. Grounding live circuits may be catastrophic. Dissipation of
electrical energy includes the actions necessary to prevent the buildup of electrical potential.
Dissipate chemicals – chemical reactions are exothermic or endothermic.
• Exothermic reactions raise temperatures, which may cause a variety of effects such as fires,
explosions, burns, etc.
• Endothermic reactions lower temperatures and cause the need for additional heat. Some
elements manufactured by endothermic reactions are used as explosive or have explosive
characteristics because of their instability and rapid release of energy.
Emphasis is placed on efforts necessary to prevent or control chemical reactions. The term
dissipate chemicals applies to those actions needed to prevent chemical reactions that would raise
or lower temperatures or cause effects that humans cannot tolerate.
Dissipate thermal energy – human tolerance to temperature is very limited. Human tissue is harmed
when it is exposed to temperature above 45 degrees C (113 degrees F) or below 4 degrees C (39.2
degrees F). Since temperature cannot be isolated or blocked, the only way to control its effects on
humans it through dissipation or employee protection. Mechanical motion, electrical resistance,
chemical reactions, and radiation will raise the temperature of materials which, in turn, can burn or
damage human tissue. Therefore, when energy sources that affect temperature are identified in
equipment, processes, or systems, controls of the energy source should be affected to allow the
temperature to dissipate to a tolerable level.

Energy
Mechanical motion, (potential energy due to pressure, gravity, or springs) electrical energy, or
thermal energy resulting from high or low temperatures.
The concept of energy, for the purpose of this document, is:
• Kinetic energy – energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.
• Potential energy – energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position in a gravity field.
• Electrical energy – energy as a result of a generated electrical power source or a static source.
• Thermal energy – energy as a result of mechanical work, radiation, chemical reaction, or
electrical resistance.
Inspection
To check or test WTG or WTG related materials against established standards.
Isolated or Blocked Energy
Energy is considered isolated or blocked when its flow would not be reactivated by a foreseeable
unplanned event. The term, isolate, means to set apart from others. The term block means an
obstacle or obstruction to prevent normal functioning.
• To control gravitational energy, the energy should be blocked in the sense that an obstacle or
obstruction is placed
• Electrical energy should be controlled by isolating it in the sense that it is set apart, or
disconnected.
These terms are similar in meaning, but they cannot be used synonymously in all instances.
Although they may describe the same function, the way in which the function is performed is
different.
Lockout
The placement of a Lockout device on an energy isolation device (circuit breaker, slide gate, line
valve, disconnect switch, etc.) to ensure that the energy isolating device and equipment being
controlled cannot be operated until the Lockout device is removed. A Lockout device utilizes a
positive means such as a lock (key or combination type) to hold an energy isolating device in a safe
position and prevent the energization of a machine or equipment. The Lockout device must be
substantial enough to prevent removal without use of excessive force or unusual techniques.
Maintenance and Service
The tasks necessary to keep a machine, process, or system in a state of repair or efficiency.
Maintenance and Service includes inspection, service, repair, troubleshooting, setup, and other
related activities.
Personnel Hazard
A condition which could lead to injury or death. This condition should be recognized by a person
familiar with the particular circumstances and facts unique to the wind industry. A personnel hazard
exists when the environment, conditions, natural phenomena, or equipment characteristics may
ENGLISH

DC-009420-01 Rev E
release levels of energy that exceed human physiological tolerance to trauma as well as internal
organ tolerance to environment.
Persons, Affected
Employee who has been designated by his or her department to operate equipment, machinery or
systems that can be affected during shutdowns for service and/or maintenance. Only Authorized
Persons using Lock Out procedures perform shutdowns.
Persons, Authorized
Employee who has been designated by his or her department to perform maintenance or service on
a piece(s) of equipment, machinery or system and; is qualified to perform the work through proper
training on the Lock Out Tag Out procedures for the equipment, machinery or system.
Persons, Other
Employee who is or might be in the area where LOTO might be performed.
Point(s) of Control
The point or points from which energy-blocking, isolating, or dissipating devices are controlled.
Securing the Point(s) of Control
Securing is a separate and distinct action from isolating or blocking the energy sources. The uses of
locks, tags, or posting a qualified person or a combination thereof are methods of accomplishing
these criteria.
The point(s) of control are secured to prevent unauthorized persons from reactivation the flow of
energy.
Service
The activities needed to keep a WTG in a state of efficiency.
Point(s) of Control
The point or points from which energy-blocking, isolating, or dissipating devices are controlled.
Tag Out
The placement of a tag out device (a tag or other prominent warning device and a means of
attachment) on an energy isolation device to indicate that the energy isolating device and the
equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tag out device is removed.
The lockout device shall be used unless the employer can demonstrate that the utilization of a tag
out system will provide full employee protection. The tag out device shall be single-use, attached
by hand, self-locking, and non-releasing with a minimum unlocking strength of no less than 50
pounds and must be at least equivalent to an all-environment tolerant nylon cable tie.
WTG
Wind Turbine Generator
ENGLISH

DC-009420-01 Rev E
Energy Sources
Chemical Reaction
Is manifested by exothermic or endothermic effects. The energy –on /energy –off approach does
not apply. Any material which could chemically react should be eliminated, dissipated, or controlled.
Measures must be taken to eliminate the chemical so that no chemical reactions can take place; or
control the chemical so that the energy released by the chemical reaction will not harm humans.
Electrical Energy
Refers to generated electrical power or static electricity. In the case of generated electricity, the
electrical power can be turned on or turned off. Static electricity may not be turned off; it can only be
dissipated.
Mechanical Motion
Can be linear translation or rotation, or it can produce work which, in turn, produces changes in
temperature. This type of energy can be turned off or left on.
Potential Energy
Can be due to pressure, springs, or gravity. Maintenance is always conducted with gravity on.
Potential energy manifested as pressures or in springs can be dissipated or controlled; it cannot be
turned off or on.
Thermal Energy
Is manifested by high or low temperature. This type of energy is the result of mechanical work,
radiation, chemical reaction, or electrical resistance. It cannot be turned off or eliminated; however,
it can be dissipated or controlled.
ENGLISH

DC-009420-01 Rev E
Training
Introduction
Training of employees will be done by an authorized employee [29 CFR 1910.147 (c)(7)(I)]. The
affected employees shall be instructed in the purpose and use of the energy control procedure and all
other employees whose work operations are or may be in an area where energy control procedures
may be utilized. When tag outs are used, employees must be instructed in the limitations of these
devices.
Training
Employee retraining shall be provided for all authorized and affected employees whenever there is a
change in their job assignments, a change in machines, equipment or processes that present a new
hazard, or when there is a change in the energy control procedures. After January 2, 1990, whenever
replacement or major modification of a machine or equipment is performed, and whenever new
machines or equipment are installed, energy isolating devices for such machines or equipment shall be
designed to accept a Lockout device. [29 CFR 1910.147 (c)(2)(iii)]
Inspections and Additional Training
Inspections
Each energy control procedure must be inspected at least annually for the purpose of ensuring that the
requirements of the Lockout/Tagout Standard are being met. Each inspection will be conducted by an
authorized employee other than the employee who normally uses the machinery or equipment or
performs the Lockout/Tagout procedure. After each inspection, the employer must certify that the
inspection has been completed.
All employees working in an area requiring Lockout/Tagout procedures must be trained. Training must
include:
The recognition of Lockout/Tagout devices and the importance of not disturbing or removing them
unless authorized
The safe application, use, and removal of energy controls
The limitations of tags in a Lockout/Tagout procedure
Training must occur whenever there is a change in job assignment, a change in machinery or
equipment, an energy control procedure change, or a change in a process that presents a new hazard.
Retraining is to be conducted whenever the employer believes that employees' knowledge of energy
control procedures is inadequate and as part of the annual inspection.
Outside Personnel
When outside personnel, such as contractors, are on site and engaged in activities that require
compliance with the Lockout/Tagout Standard, the on-site employer and the outside employer must
inform one another of their Lockout/Tagout procedures. It is the responsibility of the on-site employer to
ensure that an agreed to site wide procedure is created that adheres to both company standards and
that his/her employees understand and comply with the methods of these modified Lockout/Tagout
procedures.
ENGLISH

DC-009420-01 Rev E

DISPOSICIONES GENERALES
Introducciones
La Ley de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA) de 1970 hizo hincapié en la necesidad de
estándares para proteger la salud y seguridad de los trabajadores expuestos a un creciente número de
peligros potenciales en el lugar de trabajo.
El 30 de octubre de 1989 entró en vigor el Estándar de bloqueo y rotulado, 29 CFR 1910.147. Se creó
para ayudar a reducir la tasa de mortalidad y lesiones causada por la inesperada energización o
puesta en marcha de máquinas, o la liberación de energía almacenada.
El estándar se aplica a las actividades de servicio y mantenimiento de máquinas y equipos en los que
la inesperada energización, puesta en marcha o liberación de energía almacenada podrían causar
lesiones [29 CFR 1910.147 (a)(l)(i), 1910.147 (a)(2)(i)]. No están cubiertas las operaciones, cables y
enchufes normales de producción bajo control exclusivo [29 CFR 1910.147 (a)(2)(ii)]. Esto tiene por
objeto aplicarse a fuentes de energía tales como eléctrica, mecánica, hidráulica, química, nuclear y
térmica.
El propósito de este documento es proporcionar un medio para prevenir las lesiones causadas por
energía peligrosa.
Este documento se desarrolló para proporcionar un medio lógico de realizar actividades de
mantenimiento y servicio con seguridad, con presencia de energía, con energía retirada y durante el
proceso de reaplicación de la energía
Este documento pretende ser un documento vivo. Cualquier riesgo adicional o discrepancia que se
encuentre al completar las actividades de mantenimiento o reparación debe reportarse inmediatamente
a la supervisión directa.
Objetivo y ámbito
Este documento tiene por objeto presentar los métodos de protección para los trabajadores implicados
en el mantenimiento y servicio de los generadores de turbinas eólicas (WTG) contra lesiones debidas a
la liberación inesperada y sin restricciones de energía peligrosa.
El LOTO es una forma de evitar que se libere energía durante el mantenimiento del equipo mediante la
colocación de candados en los dispositivos de aislamiento de la energía antes de trabajar en el equipo.
Las actividades de mantenimiento se pueden realizar con o sin la presencia de la energía. Una causa
probable subyacente de muchos accidentes que dan como resultado lesiones durante el
mantenimiento es que el trabajo se realiza sin el conocimiento de que el sistema, ya sea activado o no,
puede producir energía peligrosa. Puede darse una liberación inesperada y sin restricciones de
energía peligrosa si:
• No se identifican todas las fuentes de energía,
• No se toman medidas para las prácticas de trabajo seguras con energía presente, o
• Las fuentes de energía desactivadas se reactivan por error, intencionalmente o por accidente, sin
el conocimiento del técnico.
ESPAÑOL

DC-009420-01 Rev E
Los problemas relacionados con el control de la energía peligrosa requieren soluciones de
procedimiento. Se adoptará una solución de procedimiento para controlar los peligros con objeto de
garantizar la seguridad de los trabajadores durante el mantenimiento. Sin embargo, estos
procedimientos sólo son eficaces si se aplican estrictamente. Todos debemos comprometernos con
una aplicación estricta de este documento.

Trabajar con o sin energía presente
La decisión esencial que se debe tomar antes de empezar actividades de mantenimiento es: ¿Puede
la tarea llevarse a cabo con seguridad con o sin la presencia de energía o es necesario desactivar la
energía antes de iniciar las actividades de mantenimiento?
Conceptos
Entre los conceptos que deben tenerse en cuenta en esta decisión tenemos:
• Siempre hay energía presente
• La energía no es necesariamente peligrosa
• El peligro está presente sólo cuando la energía se libera en cantidades que excedan las
tolerancias humanas
Antes del desarrollo de medidas específicas de control de la energía, todas las fuentes de energía
deben:
• Identificarse
• Analizarse de forma independiente
• Analizarse en combinación con cualquier otra fuente de energía presente
Aplicación de procedimientos de bloqueo y rotulado
Referencia interna
Mapa del proceso de bloqueo y rotulado, DC-010917-XX
Formulario de certificación anual de bloqueo y rotulado, DC-009638-XX
Identificar todas las fuentes de energía
• Conozca los tipos y magnitud de la energía asociada al equipo.
• Identifique todas las fuentes de energía que alimentan al equipo (incluida la energía potencial).
• Los Documentos de referencia que aparecen en la lista de la página anterior detallan los
requisitos de LOTO del equipo específico. Si hay cuestiones relativas a los procedimientos de
LOTO, comuníquese con el supervisor inmediato cuanto antes, pero nunca haga caso omiso a
las instrucciones escritas.
• Reúna los dispositivos de control adecuados.
• Aclare cualquier identificación dudosa de fuentes de energía antes de continuar.
• Compruebe la velocidad del viento. Si la velocidad del viento está por encima del lineamiento
presentado en Límites seguros de velocidad del viento, DC-136778-XX, para la aplicación de
bloqueo del rotor, NO continúe. Espere hasta que la velocidad del viento sea inferior al límite
para aplicar el bloqueo del rotor.
• Coloque manualmente la posición de inclinación de las palas en 91.5° con el software
TCUMon. Antes de extender el perno de bloqueo del rotor, asegúrese de que las palas estén
estacionadas en sus interruptores de límite.
ESPAÑOL

DC-009420-01 Rev E
Nota: En velocidades del viento de menos de 5 m/s, se permite al técnico girar las palas según sea
necesario para lograr una lenta rotación del rotor y alinear el agujero de la placa receptora con el perno
de bloqueo del rotor. Esto se hace con un técnico controlando el colector del bloqueo del rotor (Figura)
y un técnico en el vientre de la góndola observando visualmente la alineación. Asegúrese de que el
rotor NO esté girando a más de 1/4 RPM y aplique el freno de mano girando la perilla del freno en
sentido antihorario hasta que haga clic. Una vez fijadas, las palas deben girarse a 91.5°.
Inspección del voltímetro
1. Verifique que el medidor y los cables sean de la categoría correcta (CAT1, 2, 3 ó 4) para el
sistema en el cual lo está utilizando.
2. Verifique que el medidor tenga un rótulo de calibración vigente.
3. Compruebe que el sello de inspección del medidor no se haya roto.
4. Inspeccione el medidor para determinar que no tenga daños.
Comprobación CALIENTE-FRÍO-CALIENTE
1. Con una fuente viva conocida, verifique la operación y visualización correctas del medidor.
2. Verifique el sistema donde se vaya a realizar trabajo para detectar la presencia de cualquier
voltaje.
3. Compruebe la función del medidor nuevamente en la misma fuente viva anterior ya conocida.
Notifique a los demás
Notifique a RMDC para hacerles saber qué operación se está realizando y el número de sitio y de serie
de la turbina, etc. El número de teléfono de RMDC es: +1 (319) 362 1178.

ESPAÑOL

DC-009420-01 Rev E
ANEXO
Glosario
Los siguientes términos tendrán las siguientes definiciones a efectos de este documento.
Arco eléctrico
La energía radiante y luz cegadora creadas por un arco eléctrico que pasa a través del aire entre
conductores.
Disipar energía
Hacer que la energía se esparza o reduzca a niveles tolerables por los seres humanos. Los
siguientes conceptos deben utilizarse para determinar las actividades de disipación:
Disipar el movimiento mecánico – el movimiento tiende a continuar debido a la inercia después de
que se elimina la alimentación; por tanto, el movimiento mecánico se disipará. Un hubmplo obvio
es que se debe permitir que el hub principal se detenga antes de insertar el bloqueo del rotor.
Disipar la energía potencial – la energía potencial puede manifestarse en la forma de gravedad,
resortes y presión.
• La gravedad nunca puede eliminarse o disiparse; sólo se puede controlar.
• Los resortes bajo tensión o compresión pueden liberarse o la energía almacenada puede
controlarse.
• La presión puede bloquearse, aislarse o disiparse. El término disipar presión implica reducir la
presión a un nivel que no pueda perjudicar a los seres humanos. Normalmente, este valor es la
presión atmosférica.
Disipar la energía eléctrica – se puede lograr conectando a tierra la porción no electrificada del
circuito después de haberlo aislado. La conexión a tierra de circuitos vivos puede ser catastrófica.
La disipación de la energía eléctrica incluye las acciones necesarias para evitar la acumulación de
potencial eléctrico.
Disipar los productos químicos – las reacciones químicas son exotérmicas o endotérmicas.
• Las reacciones exotérmicas elevan la temperatura, lo que puede ocasionar diversos efectos,
tales como incendios, explosiones, quemaduras, etc.
• Las reacciones endotérmicas bajan las temperaturas y causan la necesidad de un calor
adicional. Algunos elementos fabricados mediante reacciones endotérmicas se utilizan como
explosivos o tienen características explosivas a causa de su inestabilidad y la rápida liberación
de energía.
Se hace hincapié en los esfuerzos necesarios para evitar o controlar las reacciones químicas. El
término disipar productos químicos se aplica a las acciones necesarias para prevenir las
reacciones químicas que suban o bajen las temperaturas o causen efectos que los humanos no
pueden tolerar.
Disipar la energía térmica – la tolerancia humana a la temperatura es muy limitada. Los tejidos
humanos se dañan al exponerse a temperaturas superiores a los 45 grados C (113 grados F) o por
debajo de los 4 grados C (39,2 grados F). Puesto que la temperatura no puede aislarse o
ESPAÑOL

DC-009420-01 Rev E
bloquearse, la única manera de controlar sus efectos sobre los seres humanos es mediante la
disipación o la protección de los empleados. El movimiento mecánico, la resistencia eléctrica, las
reacciones químicas y la radiación elevan la temperatura de los materiales, lo que, a su vez, puede
quemar o dañar el tejido humano. Por lo tanto, cuando las fuentes de energía que afectan la
temperatura se identifican en el equipo, los procesos o los sistemas, deben efectuarse controles de
la fuente de energía para permitir que la temperatura se disipe a un nivel tolerable.
Energía
El movimiento mecánico (la energía potencial debida a la gravedad, la presión o resortes), la
energía eléctrica o la energía térmica que son el resultado de altas o bajas temperaturas.
El concepto de energía, a efectos de este documento, es:
• Energía cinética – la energía que posee un cuerpo en virtud de su movimiento.
• Energía potencial – la energía que posee un cuerpo en virtud de su posición en un campo
gravitatorio.
• Energía eléctrica – la energía que es resultado de una fuente de energía eléctrica generada o
una fuente estática.
• Energía térmica – la energía que es resultado de un trabajo mecánico, radiación, reacción
química o resistencia eléctrica.
Inspección
Para comprobar o probar el WTG o los materiales relacionados con el WTG contra las normas
establecidas.
Energía aislada o bloqueada
La energía se considera aislada o bloqueada cuando su flujo no pueda ser reactivado por un
acontecimiento inesperado previsible. El término aislar significa separar de los demás. El término
bloqueo significa un obstáculo o una obstrucción para impedir el funcionamiento normal.
• Para controlar la energía gravitatoria, la energía debe bloquearse en el sentido de que se
instale un obstáculo o una obstrucción
• La energía eléctrica debe controlarse mediante su aislamiento en el sentido de separarla o
desconectarla.
Estos términos son similares en su significado, pero no pueden utilizarse como sinónimos en
todos los casos. A pesar de que puedan describir la misma función, la forma en que se lleva a
cabo la función es diferente.
Bloqueo
La colocación de un dispositivo de bloqueo en un dispositivo de aislamiento de la energía
(interruptor, compuerta, válvula de línea, interruptor de desconexión, etc.) para garantizar que el
dispositivo de aislamiento de la energía y el equipo que se está controlando no puedan funcionar
hasta que se quite el dispositivo de bloqueo. Un dispositivo de bloqueo utiliza un medio positivo,
como un candado (de llave o de combinación) para mantener un dispositivo de aislamiento de la
energía en una posición segura y evitar que se aplique energía a una máquina o equipo. El
ESPAÑOL

DC-009420-01 Rev E
dispositivo de bloqueo debe ser lo suficientemente importante como para evitar que se quite sin un
uso excesivo de fuerza o técnicas poco usuales.
Mantenimiento y servicio
Las tareas necesarias para mantener una máquina, proceso o sistema en estado de reparación o
eficiencia. Mantenimiento y servicio incluye la inspección, servicio, reparación, solución de
problemas, configuración y otras actividades relacionadas con éstas.
Riesgo para el personal
Una condición que podría causar lesiones o la muerte. Esta condición debe ser reconocida por una
persona familiarizada con las circunstancias y hechos específicos de la industria eólica. Un peligro
para el personal se presenta cuando el entorno, las condiciones, los fenómenos naturales o las
características del equipo pueden liberar niveles de energía que superen la tolerancia fisiológica
humana al traumatismo, así como la tolerancia de los órganos internos al medio ambiente.

Fuentes de energía
Reacción química
Se manifiesta mediante efectos exotérmicos o endotérmicos. No se aplica el enfoque de
encendido-apagado de la energía. Cualquier material que pudiera reaccionar químicamente debe
eliminarse, disiparse o controlarse. Se deben tomar medidas para eliminar el producto químico de
modo que no puedan ocurrir reacciones químicas, o controlar la sustancia química a fin de que la
energía liberada por la reacción química no pueda dañar a humanos.
Energía eléctrica
Se refiere a energía eléctrica generada o electricidad estática. En el caso de la electricidad
generada, la energía eléctrica puede encenderse o apagarse. La electricidad estática no puede
apagarse; sólo se puede disipar.
Movimiento mecánico
Puede ser una traslación lineal o de rotación, o puede producir un trabajo que, a su vez, produce
cambios en la temperatura. Este tipo de energía puede desactivarse o dejarse activado.
Energía potencial
Se puede deber a la presión, resortes o la gravedad. El mantenimiento se lleva a cabo siempre con
la gravedad activada. La energía potencial que se manifiesta como presión o en resortes se puede
disipar o controlar; no se puede apagar o encender.
Energía térmica
Se manifiesta por una temperatura alta o baja. Este tipo de energía es el resultado de un trabajo
mecánico, radiación, reacción química o resistencia eléctrica. No se puede desactivar o eliminar,
pero se puede disipar o controlar.

Capacitación
Introducción
La capacitación de los empleados estará a cargo de un empleado autorizado [29 CFR
1910.147(c)(7)(I)]. Los trabajadores afectados deben ser instruidos en el objetivo y uso del
procedimiento de control de la energía y todos los demás empleados cuyas operaciones de trabajo
estén o puedan estar en un área donde puedan utilizarse procedimientos de control de la energía.
Cuando se utilizan rótulos, los empleados deben recibir instrucción sobre las limitaciones de estos
dispositivos.
Capacitación
Se proporcionará una nueva capacitación a todos los empleados autorizados y afectados cada vez que
haya un cambio en sus asignaciones de trabajo, un cambio en las máquinas, equipos o procesos que
presenten un nuevo riesgo, o cuando haya un cambio en los procedimientos de control de la energía.
Después del 2 de enero de 1990, siempre que se realiza el reemplazo o una modificación importante
de una máquina o equipo, y siempre que se instalan nuevas máquinas o equipos, se diseñarán
dispositivos de aislamiento de la energía para dichas máquinas o equipos para que acepten un
dispositivo de bloqueo. [29 CFR 1910.147 (c)(2)(iii)]
Inspecciones y capacitación adicional
Inspecciones
Todo procedimiento de control de la energía debe inspeccionarse al menos una vez al año con el fin
de garantizar que se estén cumpliendo los requisitos de la norma de bloqueo y rotulado. Las
inspecciones serán realizadas por un empleado autorizado, que no sea el empleado que normalmente
utiliza la maquinaria o el equipo, o realiza el procedimiento de bloqueo y rotulado. Después de cada
inspección, el empleador debe certificar que la inspección se ha completado.
Todos los empleados que trabajan en un área que requiere procedimientos de bloqueo y rotulado
deben estar capacitados. La capacitación debe incluir:
El reconocimiento de los dispositivos de bloqueo y rotulado, y la importancia de no perturbarlos o
quitarlos a menos que se cuente con autorización
La aplicación, uso y eliminación seguros de los controles de energía
Las limitaciones de los rótulos en un procedimiento de bloqueo y rotulado
La capacitación debe darse siempre que haya un cambio en la asignación de trabajo, un cambio en la
maquinaria o equipo, un cambio de procedimiento de control de energía, o un cambio en un proceso
que presenta un nuevo riesgo. Debe realizarse una nueva capacitación cada vez que el empleador
considere que el conocimiento de los empleados sobre los procedimientos de control de energía sean
insuficientes y como parte de la inspección anual.

Personal externo
Cuando hay en el emplazamiento personal externo, como el de los contratistas, y está implicado en
actividades que requieren el cumplimiento de la norma de bloqueo y rotulado, el empleador del
emplazamiento y el externo deben informarse entre sí de sus procedimientos de bloqueo y rotulado. Es
responsabilidad del empleador del emplazamiento asegurarse de que se cree un procedimiento
acordado para todo el emplazamiento que se ajuste a los estándares de ambas compañías y que sus
empleados comprendan y cumplan los métodos de estos procedimientos modificados de bloqueo y

Cold Weather Definitions and Exposure Limits
Definition of Cold Weather
Per the United States Army:
• Type I Extreme Cold Weather Boots are designed to be worn in wet or dry conditions down
to -20°F (-29°C).
• Type II Extreme Cold Weather Boots are suitable for dry conditions only down to
-60°F (-51°C).
While cold weather gear may be used at the discretion of each employee, it is required to have these
(or comparable) items available for use in any environment where freezing conditions may exist that are
below 32°F (0°C).
Exposure Limits
What are exposure limits for working in the cold?
The ACGIH (American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists) has adopted the guidelines
developed by the Saskatchewan Labour for working outdoors in cold weather conditions. These
guidelines recommend protective clothing and limits on exposure time. The recommended exposure
times are based on the wind chill factor, a scale based on air temperature and wind speed. The work-
break schedule applies to any four-hour period with moderate or heavy activity. The warm-up break
periods are of 10 minute duration in a warm location. The schedule assumes that "normal breaks" are
taken once every two hours. At the end of a 4-hour period, an extended break (e.g. lunch break) in a
warm location is recommended. More information is available in the ACGIH publications "2000 TLVs
and BEIs" and "Documentation of TLVs and BEIs" and on the Saskatchewan Labour web page "Cold
Conditions Guidelines for Outside Workers".

Site Safety
Scope This document is intended to illustrate special provisions necessary when
working on an active turbine work site where Ice is present. At no time
should this document precede the requirements for personal protective
equipment or the Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
Applicable
Conditions
The presence of ice in the workplace always requires caution and awareness
of employee surroundings. This document is written to address conditions of
accumulating ice that may adversely affect the safety of working in or around
the turbine. Accumulations of Ice on the tower, turbine nacelle, hub, blades,
and any overhead items on the work site can lead to falling ice and a
crushing hazard. FALLING ICE IS DEADLY.
Continued on Next Page

Site Safety, Continued
Vehicles
around Ice
Park vehicles away from roofs that could shed ice and snow.
Park vehicles at least 300 feet away from towers that could shed ice.
When working around cranes that could shed ice, park vehicles as far away
as the height of the crane.
During a blade icing event, check with RMDC and Site Supervisor before
driving out to the towers. Before driving near wind towers use binoculars to
check blades for ice. If ice exists on the blades do not drive by the towers,
until blade ice dissipates.
Working
around Ice
covered
objects
To minimize exposure, Clipper employees or contractors are “Not Allowed” to
work around cranes or the objects being lifted when there is any type of ice
that could shed and fall to the ground in damaging amounts on the cranes or
objects being lifted.
No Clipper employee or contractor shall enter into an ice hazard area without
gaining the approval form site supervision or the EHS coordinator prior to
doing so.
Clipper employees, contractors and vehicles shall keep away from ice
covered objects by maintaining a minimum distance away from the object as
it is tall. For example, a crane boom that stands 50 feet in the air will require
personnel and vehicles to stay at least 50 feet away from the boom
whenever the possibility of damaging amounts of ice falling to the ground
exist .
Entering the
Turbine
Entering the turbine can be hazardous when ever damaging amounts of ice
are present. If available, environmentally friendly ice melt or other
appropriate means should be used to remove ice on the entry stairs stair
prior to entering the turbine. Working conditions must be evaluated by the
site Supervisor or Safety Coordinator if handrails or other safety measures
are of concern or not yet available.
Working in the
Turbine
Working in the turbine where ice accumulations exist should only be
attempted after consultation with the site Supervisor or Safety Coordinator.
The site Supervisor or Safety Coordinator shall determine adequate
measures for ice removal and safe wind speeds in adverse conditions.
Under no circumstances shall personnel enter into a wind turbine tower that
has damaging amounts of ice accumulated within the tower. Special
inspections must be done during installation activities to verify ice build up
has not occurred while tower sections were stored on the ground in a
horizontal position.

Site Safety, Continued
General Rules
for Turbine
Work in Ice
Conditions
1. If possible, determine accumulation amount of ice through visual
inspections (eyes, binoculars, etc…)
2. Observe where ice is accumulated and relay this information to
others.
3. Permission must be given by the site Supervisor or Safety
Coordinator prior to entering an area with damaging amounts of ice
buildup present.
4. If turbines are “shedding ice” all personnel are instructed to stay at
the Operations and Maintenance building or other secure area until
visual confirmation can be made that there is no shedding of ice
being observed.
5. Determine direction of wind.
6. Park vehicles 300’ for more upwind from the turbine.
7. Remotely rotate nacelle away from tower door if rotor is above door.
8. Access the turbine with the vehicle to load or unload trucks at this
time.
9. After unloading move and park vehicle 300’ or more from the turbine
(up wind if possible).
10. Continue work tasks on turbine.
11. Never climb ice covered ladders under any circumstance
12. Never access the top of the nacelle where ice buildup creates a slip
hazard.
13. Upon completion of work repeat steps 7 & 8 listed above and
promptly leave the work location.

Pre-Work Ice Checklist
Use this Checklist when icing conditions are suspected
Site Location: Date:
Turbine No(s): Time: AM/PM
Technician Names:
Yes No
1 Has freezing rain occurred in the last 24 hours?
2 Has the temperature hovered at or around freezing during precipitation?
3 Is ice or compacted snow visible on any part of the turbine? *Inspect from a distance via binoculars
4 Has any ice or compacted snow fallen off the turbine in the last 24 hours?
5 Is there ice or compacted snow formations present anywhere in the vicinity of the turbine?
6 Is the temperature above 32°F / 0°C after icing conditions were present?
7 Is the current temperature between -2 and +2 degrees Celsius? (28.4 and 35.6 F)
If you answered NO to all of the above questions:
1. Proceed with work as usual.
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, do not approach the turbine unless all of the following steps
have been completed:
1. Entering a turbine area during icing/melting conditions:
a) Stop a minimum of 1000 feet of any turbine. There may be a need to temporarily shut down an
entire string of turbines to approach the turbine in question for observation.
b) Observe with Binoculars – looking for signs of ice on the ground, inconsistencies on the blade,
ice hanging off the Nacelle & radiator area. (If ice has developed on the vehicle antenna, that is
a good indicator of potential ice on the tower/blades)
c) If ice is noticed, inform you Supervisor and Safety Department of the unsafe condition & do not
work directly under the icy conditions.
d) If possible – have the turbine Yawed remotely so that the greatest hazard above (typically ice
on the blades) is on the opposite side of the tower from the entrance door.
e) If the turbine was running and has been shut down, wait 5 minutes after the machine has been
shut down or once yawing has completed. Observe again with the binoculars from a safe
distance. (look for ice/snow which has become loose (falling) due to the Nacelle’s movement)
f) If no ice was observed, proceed to a distance of 300 feet away and repeat the ice observation
process. If no ice is observed, work may proceed as usual. It should be noted that ice on top
of the nacelle or along the tower sections may be very difficult to see. Use of a spotter is
encouraged when working near towers during icing conditions even if ice has not been seen.
Additional precautions may also be implemented at the work group’s discretion.
g) If ice is observed no work may be completed outside of the turbine within 300 feet of any
of the overhead turbine components (nacelle, hub or blades). One option available to
work group is to clear ice off of the structure if minor amounts are observed and the ice
can be removed without climbing on top of any ice on top of the nacelle.
h) If ice was observed, but is not thawing or being shed, personnel may be driven to the
tower ladder and enter directly into the turbine. If the contractor does not believe it is safe
to park near the turbine, Stop Work Authority should be utilized by the contractor and work
should not proceed at this location.

i) Stay clear of the blades & be aware of potential wind drift (if the door is down wind of the
blades).
j) Once the door has been opened and the “all clear” sign given by the initial entrant, the second
(and any others) may also enter the turbine cautiously. While Unloading tools/equipment, all
participants must be conscious of potential hazards above, and enter the turbine as quickly as
possible.
k) Prior to exiting the turbine, personnel must verify that changes in ice conditions have not
changed. This may occur by calling for remote observation or by checking from the top of the
turbine without stepping onto the roof of the nacelle. If the turbine has started shedding ice,
personnel must remain in the tower until the shedding activity has stopped.
** Do not work within 1000 feet of an operating turbine that has ice formation on it.
** No entry onto the roof of the nacelle is allowed if ice build up is formed on top of the nacelle.
***If the blades still have any ice attached, DO NOT GO ON THE NACELLE ROOF TO FURTHER
DE-ICE!!! (wind may unexpectedly shift & blow ice onto the roof off the blade)**
2. Complete the “Work Stopped Due to Unsafe Conditions” section below and notify your supervisor
and the site safety team.
If any of these steps cannot be completed remotely, do not perform any work in the immediate area until
the conditions & safe options have been properly evaluated, addressed and re-inspected.

Work Stopped Due to Unsafe Condition:
Once work has been stopped for icy conditions, safety must be notified and steps taken to mitigate risks
must be documented. If the Site Supervisor (or Assistant Site Supervisor) is not available onsite, a verbal
notification must occur at a minimum to discuss the path forward & how the risks will be minimized prior to
performing the work. If safe work conditions have been achieved:
1. Document what steps were taken to achieve a minimum risk state

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Purpose and
Scope
This information in this guide is relevant for all Clipper personnel.
The information contained herein should be used when there is potential for
severe weather.
Clipper Wind Power wants to ensure that employees have the information
they need to cope with extreme conditions that may be experienced in the
field.
During the warm weather season personnel become more vulnerable to
heat-related illnesses. Making reference to this guide will provide guidelines
for operations and behavior during extreme warm/hot weather conditions.
Employees and supervisors must be able to recognize the warning signs and
symptoms of how severe weather affects personnel and the appropriate
actions to take if weather related incident should occur. Environmental
factors that play a role in the amount of weather stress a worker faces.

Heat Stress Guidelines
Definitions Heat Exhaustion- Heat exhaustion results from a loss of fluid through
sweating when a worker has failed to drink enough fluids. If heat exhaustion
is not treated the illness may advance to heat stroke Heat exhaustion should
not be dismissed or taken lightly.
Symptoms:
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vertigo
• Weakness
• Thirst
• Giddiness
Heat Stroke- Heat stroke occurs when the body’s system of temperature
regulation fails and body temperature rises to critical levels. Heat stroke is a
medical emergency.
Symptoms:
• Confusion
• Irrational Behavior
• Loss Of Consciousness
• Convulsions
• Lack Of Sweating
• Hot And Dry Skin
• Abnormal High Body Temperature
Heat Cramps- Heat cramps are painful body cramps that are primarily
caused by performing hard physical labor in a hot environment. Heat cramps
are caused when workers drink large quantities of water but fail to replace
their bodies’ salt loss. These cramps have been attributed to an electrolyte
imbalance caused by sweating. It is important to understand that cramps can
be caused by both too much and to little salt.
Symptoms:
• Painful muscle spasms
Heat Fatigue- Heat fatigue is lack of acclimatization to warm weather
environments. The use of a program of acclimatization and training for work
in hot environments is advisable.
Symptom:
• Impaired performance
Exposure Incidents
In the event that an employee exhibits any heat-related signs or symptoms,
the employee should notify his or her supervisor as soon as possible.
First-aid treatment should be sought immediately by a designated first-aid
administrator in the employee’s work area and/or the employee should be
taken immediately for evaluation and treatment.
If the situation appears more extreme, the supervisor should call 911.

Heat Stress Guidelines, continued
Controls,

General ventilation is used to dilute hot air with cooler air (generally cooler
air that is brought in from the outside). This technique clearly works better in
cooler climates than in hot ones. A permanently installed ventilation system
usually handles large areas or entire buildings. Portable or local exhaust
systems may be more effective or practical in smaller areas.
Air treatment/air cooling differs from ventilation because it reduces the
temperature of the air by removing heat (and sometimes humidity) from the
air.
Air conditioning is a method of air cooling, but it is expensive to install and
operate. An alternative to air conditioning is the use of chillers to circulate
cool water through heat exchangers over which air from the ventilation
system is then passed; chillers are more efficient in cooler climates or in dry
climates where evaporative cooling can be used.
Heat conduction methods include insulating the hot surface that generates
the heat and changing the surface itself.
Worker monitoring program:
No employee shall work alone. Employees must have a work companion OR
attendant at all times. All confined spaces will be required to have a
thermometer in it all times. The thermometer should be monitored by
entrants and confine space attendant. If entrant is beginning to feel signs and
symptoms of heat stress, then the employee should evacuate the confine
space at once. The employee should notify the attendant who will notify the
employee’s immediate supervisor of the incident. The employee should then
proceed to a break area to rehydrate.

Heat Stress Guidelines, continued
Controls,

Administrative Controls and Work Practices
Training is the key to good work practices. Unless all employees understand
the reasons for using new, or changing old work practices, the chances of
such a program succeeding are greatly reduced.
NIOSH (1986) states that a good heat stress training program should include
at least the following components:
• Knowledge of the hazards of heat stress.
• Recognition of predisposing factors, danger signs, and symptoms.
• Knowledge of basic first-aid procedures associated with heat
exposure.
• Understand the potential health effects of heat stroke.
• Understand employee responsibilities in avoiding heat stress.
• Awareness of the dangers associated with using drugs, including
therapeutic ones, and alcohol in hot work environments.
• Properly use protective clothing and equipment.
• Understand the purpose and coverage of environmental and medical
surveillance programs.
• Acknowledges the advantages of worker participation in such
programs.
Other ways administrative controls can be used to reduce the dangers of
heat related illness:
1) Reduce the physical demands of work, e.g., excessive lifting or
digging with heavy objects
2) Provide recovery areas, e.g., air-conditioned enclosures and rooms
3) Use shifts, e.g., early morning, cool part of the day, or night work
4) Use intermittent rest periods with water breaks
5) Use relief workers
6) Make use of “worker pacing”
7) Assign extra workers and limit worker occupancy, or limit the number
of workers present, especially in confined or enclosed spaces

PPE
Auxiliary Body
Cooling
Commercially available ice vests, though heavy, may accommodate as
many as 72 ice packets, which are usually filled with water. Carbon dioxide
(dry ice) can also be used as a coolant. The cooling offered by ice packets
lasts only 2 to 4 hours at moderate to heavy heat loads, and frequent
replacement is necessary. However, ice vests do not encumber the worker
and thus permit maximum mobility.
Wetted clothing is another simple cooling technique. It is effective when
reflective or other impermeable protective clothing is worn. The clothing may
be wetted terry cloth coveralls or wetted two-piece, whole-body cotton suits.
This approach to auxiliary cooling can be quite effective under conditions of
high temperature and low humidity, where evaporation from the wetted
garment is not restricted.
Water-cooled garments range from a hood, which cools only the head, to
vests and "long johns," which offer partial or complete body cooling. Use of
this equipment requires a battery-driven circulating pump, liquid-ice coolant,
and a container.
Although this system has the advantage of allowing wearer mobility, the
weight of the components limits the amount of ice that can be carried and
thus reduces the effective use time. The heat transfer rate in liquid cooling
systems may limit their use to low-activity jobs; even in such jobs, their
service time is only about 20 minutes per pound of cooling ice. To keep
outside heat from melting the ice, an outer insulating jacket should be an
integral part of these systems.
Circulating air is the most highly effective, as well as the most complicated,
personal cooling system. By directing compressed air around the body from
a supplied air system, both evaporative and convective cooling is improved.
The greatest advantage occurs when circulating air is used with impermeable
garments or double cotton overalls.
One type, used when respiratory protection is also necessary, forces exhaust
air from a supplied-air hood ("bubble hood") around the neck and down
inside an impermeable suit. The air then escapes through openings in the
suit. Air can also be supplied directly to the suit without using a hood in three
ways:
• by a single inlet;
• by a distribution tree; or
• by a perforated vest
Respirator Usage. The weight of a respirator increases stress on a worker,
and this stress contributes to overall heat stress. Protective clothing such as
totally encapsulating protection suits will also add to the heat stress problem.

OSHA Guidelines
Practices OSHA suggests the following tips for employers and workers to prevent heat-
related disorders -- many of which are easily avoided. Simply drinking plenty
of water and wearing light, loose-fitting clothing, for example, significantly
reduce the risk
• Encourage workers to drink plenty of water (without salt)--about one cup
of cool water every 15-20 minutes, even if they are not thirsty. Avoid
alcohol, coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks which contribute to
dehydration.
• Help workers adjust to the heat by assigning a lighter workload and
longer rest periods for the first five to seven days of intense heat. And
this process needs to start all over again when a worker returns from
vacation or absence due to illness or injury.
• Encourage workers to wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored
clothing.
• Use general ventilation and spot cooling at points of high heat production.
Good air flow increases evaporation and cooling of the skin. Stagnant
atmospheric conditions and poor air quality can induce heat-related
illnesses.
• Learn to spot the signs of heat stroke, which can be fatal. The symptoms
are severe headache, mental confusion/loss of consciousness, flushed
face, and hot, dry skin. If someone has stopped sweating, seek medical
attention immediately. Other heat-induced illnesses include heat
exhaustion, heat cramps, skin rashes, swelling and loss of mental and
physical work capacity.
• Train first-aid workers to recognize and treat the signs of heat stress. Be
sure that all workers know who is trained to render first aid. Supervisors
also should be able to detect early signs of heat-related illness and
permit workers to interrupt their work if they become extremely
uncomfortable.
• Consider a worker's physical condition when determining fitness to work
in hot environments. Obesity, lack of conditioning, pregnancy and
inadequate rest can increase susceptibility to heat stress.
• Alternate work and rest periods, with longer rest periods in a cooler area.
Shorter, but frequent, work-rest cycles are best. Schedule heavy work for
cooler parts of the day and use appropriate protective clothing.
• Certain medical conditions, such as heart conditions, or treatments like
low-sodium diets and some medications, increase the risk from heat
exposure. Seek medical advice in those cases.
• If signs and symptoms of heat stress are experienced, conditions should
be monitored as soon as possible.

Severe Weather Job Site Shutdown
Shut down
Protocols
 During severe weather the possibility always exists that work may be
cancelled or postponed to protect the safety and welfare of our
employees, contractors and visitors. This section highlights the
protocol all Clipper Wind Power sites must follow during severe
weather:
 The Site Manager and the Site EHS Coordinator must be in
agreement weather conditions warrant ending/postponing work. The
following conditions elaborate on the criteria for cancelling or
postponing work and includes, but is not limited to the following
weather-related conditions:
o Freezing Precipitation and Ice Storms
 See Clipper document EHS Policies for Working
Around Ice, DC-021187-XX.
o Heat/Cold
 See Clipper document Recommended EHS Cold
Weather Gear, DC-012773-XX.
o High wind
 See Clipper document Safe Wind Speed Limits,
DC-136778-XX.
o Floods – monitor your local weather network;
o Thunderstorms – monitor your local weather network;
o Tornadoes – monitor your local weather network;
o Hailstorms – monitor your local weather network; etc
o Lightning –
1. All sites and employees should attempt to keep abreast of
changing weather conditions. Severe weather can develop
quickly, and without warning.
2. If threatening conditions seem imminent, seek shelter,
even in the absence of official weather warnings.
3. Lightning notification will be communicated from RMDC
through the site safety representative and/or site manager
on all shifts. It is the site safety representative’s and/or site
manager’s responsibility to communicate alerts to all
affected site personnel.

Severe Weather Job Site Shutdown, continued

Protocols,
continued
4. It is the responsibility of the site to provide the “on-duty”
safety representatives’ work schedule and contact
information to the RMDC. Coverage is to be scheduled
whenever personnel are present.
5. Any deviation from the published schedule must be
communicated to RMDC. To avoid being contacted
unnecessarily during lightning events inform RMDC when
the site has been evacuated or no personnel are required
to remain onsite.
6. Contact will be made with the site safety representative
and/or site manager on duty when lightning strikes are
detected in the RMDC. The RMDC will only “advise” the
site safety representative and site manager on weather
conditions. The site safety representative and site
manager will determine what if any action(s) should be
taken.
7. The RMDC will use Meteorlogix Weather Sentry
http://weather.dtn.com to monitor lightning data and
weather conditions from the 50 mile weather advisory
radius to the 30 mile warning radius. The site then
assumes responsibility for monitoring weather conditions
from the 30 mile warning radius to the 15 mile evacuation
radius or other distance depending on the speed of the
storm.
 The RMDC will make initial contact with the site when
lightning strikes reach 50 miles from the site. The initial
contact is to focus awareness on lightning/approaching
storms.

Shut down
Protocols,
continued
 The RMDC will again notify the site (site EHS
personnel and site manager) when the storm/lightning
is observed at the 30 mile warning radius. After the
storm/lightning is observed at the 30 mile warning
radius the site will monitor the storm/lightning until
such time an evacuation order is sent or the storm no
longer poses a threat. Depending on the speed of the
storm the evacuation radius could vary as the 15 mile
evacuation radius is just a recommendation.
 When an evacuation order is given ALL employees,
visitors and contractors MUST take shelter
IMMEDIATELLY. Personnel in towers are to evacuate
the tower and seek shelter until the “All Clear” is given.
Supervisors must account for all employees in their
charge. The following are guidelines for seeking
shelter:
 The safest location during lightning activity is a large
fully enclosed building with a roof, walls and floor, not
a partially open or small structure such as a home
being framed, a picnic shelter or shed.
Remain in shelter until the “All Clear” is given. The “All Clear” is given when
there are no new strikes observed by the RMDC within a 30 mile boundary
for a period of 30 minutes.
Note: The lightning guidelines only apply to Clipper personnel, our
subcontractors and Clipper visitors.

Confined Space Hazard Assessment and Designation
Hazard
Assessment
The following list includes the “known” and “potential” hazards found within a
Wind Turbine Generator (WTG). This list is NOT all-inclusive. It is
recognized that certain activities may introduce other hazards, in which case
every effort should be utilized to identify, and make safe, the PRCS:
• Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) potentially exists in wind turbine parks located
at or near oil fields and/or oil refineries.
• Paint activities: refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
proper PPE and ventilation requirements.
• Hot work occurring in any part of the WTG.
• Trouble-shooting live High Voltage (HV) lines or other live electrical
lines.
• Biological hazards: spiders, snakes, and mice.
Turbine
Confined Space
Designations
• In general, the Hub is classified as a Non-Permit Required Confined
Space. However this classification is contingent upon the activity
being performed. Activities which have the potential to introduce
atmospheric or physical hazard must follow the procedures for PRCS.
• Blades are classified as Non-Permit Required Confined Spaces to the
box beam. However this classification is contingent upon the activity
being performed. Activities which have the potential to introduce
atmospheric or physical hazard must follow the procedures for PRCS.
The areas past the box beam are classified as Permit Required
Confined Spaces.
Required
Postings
• A sign, "Danger – Permit Required Confined Space - Entry by Permit
Only," shall be permanently posted outside the point of entry of each
PRCS.

Entering a Non-Permit Required Confined Space (NPRCS)
Requirements Requirements for entering a confined space that does not require a permit.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Purpose While performing assigned duties, CLIPPER WIND POWER employees may
potentially be exposed to respiratory hazards. The primary objective of this
program is to prevent any potentially harmful exposures to respiratory
hazards and to control those known occupational diseases caused by
breathing air contaminated with hazardous gases or aerosols. This is
accomplished, to the extent possible, by using accepted engineering control
measures (for example, general and local ventilation, enclosures or isolation,
and substitution of less hazardous processes or materials). However, when
effective engineering controls are not feasible appropriate respirators may be
required. The purpose of this Respiratory Protection Program is to provide
the employees of CLIPPER WIND POWER with the information necessary to
adequately protect themselves from exposure to respiratory hazards.
Scope The practices and procedures described here constitute the program under
which respirators are effectively utilized at CLIPPER WIND POWER. These
practices apply all branch offices, construction sites and manufacturing
locations.

Responsibility
Scope Due to the varied geographical location of our manufacturing plants and
branch offices and job sites, each location will be responsible for monitoring
and maintaining compliance with this program.
EHS • Providing technical assistance in determining the need for respirators and
in the selection of appropriate types.
• Annual evaluation of the respirator program.
• Administering the overall program.
Supervisor • Ensure documented respirator training is completed as per this
document.
• Ensuring that respirators are available as needed.
• Ensuring that employees wear respirators as required.
• Inspection of respirators on a regular schedule.
• Administer discipline up to and including termination for those individuals
that fail to comply with this program.
Employee • Using the respirator supplied to him/her in accordance with instructions
and training.
• Cleaning, disinfecting, inspecting, and storing his/her respirator.
• Reporting a respirator malfunction to his/her supervisor.

Program Elements
Scope Respirators (half and full-face) were selected by the respirator program
coordinator. This choice is based on the physical and chemical properties of
the air contaminant and on the concentration likely to be encountered. The
quality of fit and the nature of the work being done also affect the choice of
respirators. The capability of the respirators chosen is determined from
appropriate governmental approvals, manufacturer's tests and experience
with the respirators.
Respirator
Selection
It is the intent of this policy that all CLIPPER WIND POWER employees
utilize the type and style of respirator, which provides the best available
respiratory protection whenever respiratory protection is deemed necessary.
The respirator selected was based on the task to be performed and the
specific type of hazard present.
All respirators used at CLIPPER WIND POWER shall be approved by the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Medical
Evaluations
Medical evaluations to determine an employee’s fitness to wear a respirator
will be performed by a qualified medical provider before the employee is
required to wear a respirator. The physical examination will be administered
under the direction of a physician or other Licensed Health-Care Provider
(PLHCP). CLIPPER WIND POWER will provide the PLHCP with the
following:
• A copy of the written respiratory protection program;
• The weight and type of the respirator and other protective equipment
required to be worn;
• The temperature ranges and humidity extremes that are anticipated
during use; and,
• A copy of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s
(OSHA) respiratory protection standard.
The employee will provide the PLHCP with the completed medical
questionnaire.
The medical evaluator is to provide to the Site Administrator with a written
recommendation as to the suitability of using a respirator for each person
evaluated.
The medical evaluator is to provide a copy of the complete recommendation
to the person who has been evaluated, and may discuss the results with the
person he or she has evaluated.

Program Elements, continued
Fit Testing CLIPPER WIND POWER shall require that all employees required to wear a
respirator submit to an initial fit test. These tests will be administered by a
“certified” professional (The professional could be an internal or external
safety professional) and will establish a record of an OSHA approved
qualitative or quantitative fit test for each employee, and shall include:
• The name of the employee tested.
• The type of fit test performed.
• The specific make, model, style, and size of respirators tested.
• The date of the test and pass/fail results.
Respirator Use It shall be the policy of CLIPPER WIND POWER that all employees will
familiarize themselves with and abide by the provisions outlined in this
program. All employee maintenance, use and care of respirators shall be
conducted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
OSHA 1910.134 (g) clearly states that facial hair that comes between the two
sealing surfaces (seal area) is not acceptable if such hair interferes with the
sealing surface or interferes with valve function.
Other potentially compromising conditions, such as wearing eyeglasses that
protrude through the seal area, are not acceptable. It is the policy of
CLIPPER WIND POWER to allow contact lenses or other corrective lenses
while wearing a respirator, provided these corrective devices do not interfere
with the face piece seal of the respirator.
Each employee shall be trained in performing a seal check according to the
manufacturer’s recommendation. This seal check will be performed before
each use of the respirator.
Each respirator and canister unit must have an “End of Service Life Indicator
(ESLI) procedure or device in- place. If there is no ESLI procedure
appropriate for the workplace, the local administrator must establish and
enforce a change out schedule for the canisters and cartridges. This
schedule will be established based on industrial trends, manufacturer
information and actual user experience(s).

Program Elements, continued
Cleaning,
Maintenance
The maintenance and care of respirators are essential elements of any
respiratory protection program and are required to maintain NIOSH
certification of the respirator, and to meet the requirements of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulation
1910.134 (h).
All cleaning and maintenance of respirators will be performed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Facemasks are to be stored in the mask bags provided by the manufacturer
or in a manner that will not allow deformity or damage.
Inspection of the respirators will follow the manufactures’ guidelines, which
may include some or all of the following.
Any respirator that becomes damaged or otherwise unserviceable will be
immediately removed from service, tagged or marked to clearly indicate its
out-of-service status, and turned into their immediate supervisor or designee
for replacement.
Rubber face piece
• Dirt
• Cracks, tears, or holes
• Distortion from improper
storage
• Cracked, scratched or loose
fitting lens
• Broken or missing mounting
clips
Valves
• Detergent residue, dust or dirt on
the valve seat
• Cracks, tears or distortion in the
valve
• Missing or defective valve cover
Head straps
• Breaks or tears
• Loss of elasticity
• Broken or malfunctioning
buckles or attachments
• Excessively worn serrations of
the head straps, which might
allow the face piece to slip.
Filter Elements
• Proper type of filter for the job and
contaminants
• Missing or worn gaskets
• Worn threads
• Cracks or dents in the housing

Procedures for IDLH Atmospheres
Scope It shall be the policy of CLIPPER WIND POWER that no employee should
ever attempt to enter any area or environment that is known to be
Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH).

This program will be evaluated annually to determine its effectiveness and
completeness. The site or regional EHS professionals will consult
employees for evaluation of the workplace as necessary to ensure that the
program is being effectively implemented and that it continues to be effective.
Factors to be assessed include, but are not limited to:
• Respirator fit;
• Appropriate evaluation of the potential hazards to which the employee may
be exposed;
• Proper respirator use;
• Proper respirator maintenance;
• Recordkeeping; and,
• Medical evaluations.

Training Requirements
Site Personnel
Training
The practical application of using both PPE and rescue equipment is an
important aspect of the tower rescue training program. All site personnel will
undergo a minimum of:
• Fall prevention training and protection
• Tower rescue training
• Annual refresher training
All training will be recorded with a clipper training record form
(DC-005633-XX) and transferred to the Clipper Datastay training module.
On Site Rescue
Team
An on-site rescue team will be trained and equipped, including performing
annual simulations and having a documented site emergency plan. A
communication plan must be established to notify the on-site rescue team
and off-site fire and rescue services. The rescue procedures must be
explained to each employee during site orientation, so that each employee
can activate the rescue plan for injured personnel.
Call Out
Rescue Team
When a “Call Out” is performed after work hours, 2 people will be called to
the site. A 3rd
person will be called directly to notify of the call out and to be
prepared to go to the site in case a rescue is needed. This does not apply to
a permit required confined space.
Project
Leadership
Project leadership must establish a mutual aid agreement with the local off-
site fire and rescue service when establishing any new project site. During
the initial meeting the following items will be determined:
• The type of equipment that the local fire and rescue services have and
what can be used to rescue a fallen employee.
• A schedule for bringing the fire and rescue services onto the site for
familiarization, coordination, and combined rehearsals.

IDENTIFY HIGH RISK SITUATIONS
Overview There are inherent risks associated with working inside of a wind turbine due
to the size of the machinery, fall hazards, and the dynamic environment. It is
Clipper’s responsibility to provide a safe-work environment for its employees.
Awareness of high risks, such as the following areas, is intended to mitigate
the potential danger to employees.
Tower • Climbing the tower poses a risk to personnel because of the physical
exertion required to climb a ladder 80m, and the distance a person must
travel vertically to exit out of the turbine.
• The working surface of the ladder and platforms are constantly exposed
to oil, moisture, and mud.
Inside of
Nacelle
Inside of the nacelle is where the bulk of the work done to the turbine is
executed. Possible risks include:
• Fire hazards
• Electrical hazards
• Mechanical hazards
It is possible that these hazards could block some of the escape routes out of
the tower.
Top of Nacelle • Work is exposed and fall on protection will require a buddy assisted
rescue.
• Ice or moisture on the fiberglass surface can cause a poor footing hazard
and workers are always at risk from high winds.
Hub • The hub is a confined space, which requires use of the confined space
program (DC-064510-XX).
• Hub evacuation is intended to return injured personnel to the nacelle first.
Further evacuation

ANCHORS
Certified The following have been identified as certified locations to anchor a rescue
system.
a) From the jib crane arm, placed on
the mast side of the festoon bracket.
b) From the tie off ring located on
uprights in the Nacelle.
c) From the Safety Rail on the Nacelle
Top.
d) From a ladder connection bracket
(the connection to the ladder rungs
is not weight bearing.)
e) From the pitch motor for blade
rescue.

ANCHORS, continued
NOT Certified The following locations should not be used as locations to anchor a rescue
system.
From either handle ring located on the aft
nacelle gate railing.

ACTION PLAN
Communication
Plan
To activate a rescue from a tower an employee should use these prioritized
communication methods to the site administrator at the project trailers:
1. Two-way Radio
2. Cell Phone
3. Runner to Project Trailer
The witness must be specific during his communication of the nature of the
injury, how it happened, and any special equipment required to be brought to
the rescue site. The Site Administrator will call emergency medical services
at 911 (or other local emergency number if 911 is not available in the area)
and relay this information.
The Site Administrator will then notify the Project Manager or Site
Supervisor, who will follow notify other parties as detailed below:
Self Rescue A rescue performed without the assistance of another person. An AG10
without a hub can be used as an evacuation tool.
Assisted
Rescue
Requires the assistance of one or more people. In an evacuation situation,
an AG10 without hub can be used. In an situation where a person fell on a
fall arrest system and needs assistance, an AG10 with hub is required.

RESCUE ASSESSMENT
Overview This section outlines a rescue process that can and will change for each type
of situation. It is a way of thinking through problems in the turbine. Always
remember that the tower ladder is the primary escape route. Employing a
rescue system should always be considered a secondary escape route.
Remember to NEVER put yourself in danger during a rescue. SAFETY
MUST COME FIRST.
Rescue
Process
1. Assess the situation:
a. Where is the emergency?
b. What is the emergency?
c. How much time do you have? In case of fire, move away from the
emergency to increase the amount of time available for a rescue.
2. Call for outside help using the communication plan.
3. Secure the area
a. Do not further endanger the safety of the rescuers or patients by
attempting to start the rescue before dealing with the threat.
b. De-energize and/or LOTO equipment to remove additional hazards from
forming.
c. Position rescue equipment away from the hazard.
Perform self rescue if possible. If not, then move to step 4.
4. Establish communication with the injured personnel:
a. Determine consciousness
b. Assess the injured personnel’s condition through visual observation and
by asking questions.
c. Determine what happened.
d. Reassure the injured personnel.
5. Ensure that the rescue plan is in action.
6. Begin to help injured personnel with assisted rescue.

RESCUE ASSESMENT, continued
Rescue System
Set-up
It must be ensured that the people involved in the rescue are always secured
during the entire rescue process to either a non-certified anchor capable of
holding a 5000 pound static load or a certified anchor of twice the maximum
arresting force.
1. Choose an anchor point. The anchor must be either non-certified for
a static load of 3000 pounds, or certified and labeled for five times the
applied load.
2. Connect the AG10 rescue device to the anchor. Ensure that the
locking carabiner on the AG10 is not cross-loaded and the device
hangs freely.
3. The anchor point should be at a position on the structure, which
allows a free descent without obstruction. Ensure that the rope runs
cleanly and an edge protection device should be placed under the
rope to protect the rope when an adequate spacing distance cannot
be maintained from a sharp or abrasive surface.
4. Move the excess rope out of the way by throwing the rope bag or
positioning to the side.
5. Execute either self or assisted rescue.

Rescue Using the Jib Crane as an Anchor
Attaching the
rescue device
When attaching the rescue device using the jib crane as an anchor, two
possible connections may be used:
Option 1
Using the adjustable lanyard, place the
lanyard around the jib crane on the mast side
of the festoon bracket and connect it with the
locking caribiner.
• The ladder adapter may be placed on the
jib crane boom (as shown) to stabalize the
connection, but is not weight bearing.
• Excess lanyard may be moved out of the
way (as shown) by placing it on the boom.
Option 2
If the adjustable lanyard is not available, place
a cross arm strap over the jib crane on the
mast side of the festoon bracket.
• Examine the strap placement to ensure
that the strap is in a “straight down” pull
and that the “straight down” pull is on the
outside edge of the jib crane.
• Connect the Derope unit locking carabiner
to the “D-Ring” of the strap. Ensure that
the locking carabiner closes properly.

1. Connect the rope carabiner to the front
D-ring of the harness of the self rescuer.
2. Open the rear gate and raise the work
platform floor section.
NOTE: If the work platform section cannot
be raised, connect the edge roller with
locking carabiner as shown to protect the
rope during descent.
3. Open the roll up door. Use the manual
door release if necessary.
4. Move the excess rope out of the tower
by throwing the rope bag to the ground.
5. Step outside and slowly lower yourself
until you are below the nacelle and
release the rope. The AG10 Rappelling
Rescue Device will automatically lower
you at a set speed of approximately
three feet per second.

Printed copies of this document are un controlled Company Proprietary & Confidential Information
Rescue Using the Upright Tie Off Ring as an Anchor
1. Connect the Derope unit locking
carabiner to the upright tie off ring.
Ensure that the locking carabiner closes
properly.
2. Connect the rope carabiner to the front
D-ring of the harness of the self rescuer.
3. Open the roll up door. Use the manual
door release if necessary.
4. Move the excess rope out of the tower
by throwing the rope bag to the ground.
5. Step outside and slowly lower yourself
until you are below the nacelle and
release the rope. The AG10 Rappelling
Rescue Device will automatically lower
you at a set speed of approximately
three feet per second.

Assisted Rescue Using the Ladder Bracket as an Anchor
Attaching the
rescue device
Assess and determine the most efficient way to attach the rescue device on
the ladder for rescuing a person. The rescue device must be at least 2-4 feet
above the injured personnel. It must be attached to the ladder bracket(s) in
one of the two following configurations:
Option 1
Configuration using both carabiners around
two ladder brackets.
Option 2
Configuration using a carabiner and a rope
grab around a single ladder bracket.
Assisted Rescue
1. Attach the short end of the rope from the
AG10 device to the injured personnel’s
front or rear “D” ring.
2. Using the crank wheel, raise the injured
personnel up until the lad safe can be
removed from the steel fall arrest cable.
NOTE: During training exercises, this
lad safe is never released.
3. Slowly lower the injured personnel down
to the next lower deck or continue down
to the converter deck.
4. Move the injured personnel outside for
further first aid or to transfer patient to
the care of Emergency Medical
Services.

Assisted Rescue Using the Safety Rail as an Anchor
FALL HAZARD
This rescue technique should only be used if other means to exit the
turbine are not available. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will a LIVE
PERSON be used for this exercise. A dummy will be used.
1. Connect the rescue device to the safety
rail.
2. Attach Rope Grab to short-end of
rescue rope with locking carabiner and
open Rope Grab.
3. Clamp the rope grab to the injured
personnel’s lanyard.
4. Using the wheel on the rescue device,
move the injured personnel until you can
disconnect the injured personnel’s
lanyard hook from the safety rail.
5. Connect the descent rope to the injured
personnel.
6. Disconnect the injured personnel’s
lanyard hook from the safety rail.
7. Lower the injured personnel to the
ground.

Assisted Hub Rescue using the Jib Crane as an anchor
Hub entry requires LOTO procedures as identified in the Hub entry
procedure (DC-008843-XX). Before attempting a hub rescue ensure that
any electrical systems (PCU, EPU switches, etc) are de-energized.
1. Connect the rescue device to the jib
crane boom as if performing a self
rescue.
2. Connect the hook of the jib crane to the
right forward upright “D” ring to secure
the crane from swinging.
3. Connect the descent rope to the injured
personnel.
4. Position additional personnel to assist
the injured personnel from the hub.
5. Using the wheel on the rescue device,
move the injured personnel until they
are out of the hub with assistance of
additional personnel if available.
6. Evacuate the injured personnel from the
turbine.

Assisted Blade Rescue using the Pitch Motor as an anchor
Hub entry requires LOTO procedures as identified in the Hub entry
procedure (DC-008843-XX). Before attempting a hub rescue ensure that
any electrical systems (PCU, EPU switches, etc) are de-energized.
FALL HAZARD
The blade position will either be at the 9 o’clock or 3 o’clock angle for
blade work. The rotor must be locked out per the Hub LOTO procedure
to avoid rotation of the blade to the 6 o’clock position.
Atmospheric conditions within the blade may require additional safety
measures. A Gas Alert atmospheric tester (4 part) should be used to
monitor and assess the safety of entry. A minimum of 2 trained
personnel are required to perform the rescue from inside the blade.
1. Assess the situation in the hub for
additional dangers within the confined
space.
2. Connect the rescue device to the pitch
motor opposite the blade containing the
injured personnel for a straight pull.
3. Assess the situation in the blade for
additional dangers before allowing a
minimum of 2 trained personnel may
enter the blade.
4. Attach rescue rope to front or back “D”
ring if possible. The front “D” ring may
be used as secondary attachment point
if the back “D” ring is not accessible.
5. If necessary, attach the rescue rope to
the injured personnel’s feet, and/or
under the arms until a “D” ring
attachment can be made.
6. Using the commands “Pull” and “Stop”
follow the instruction of 1 of the 2
rescuers in the blade to assist the
injured personnel to the hub.
7. Continue Rescue using Assisted Hub

Definitions
Biological
Hazard
The term biological hazard or biohazard is taken to mean any viable
infectious agent that presents a risk, or a potential risk, to the well being of
humans.
Medical
Wastes/
Infectious
Wastes
All waste emanating from human or animal tissues, blood or blood products
or fluids. This includes used first aid bandages, syringes, needles, sharps,
material used in spill cleanup and contaminated PPE or clothing.
Universal
Precautions
Refers to a system of infectious disease control that assumes that every
direct contact with body fluids is infectious and requires every employee
exposed to be protected as though such body fluids were infected with blood-
borne pathogens. All infectious/medical material must be handled according
to Universal Precautions (OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.44A)

Hazards
Scope Unprotected exposure to body fluids presents the possible risk of infection
from a number of blood borne pathogens that include but are not limited to
Hepatitis and HIV.
Hazard Control Prevention of exposure to blood borne pathogens engineering controls
includes proper storage facilities and containers, syringes designed to
prevent accidental needle sticks, autoclaves and disinfectant equipment.

Hazards, continued
Hepatitis-B
Virus (HBV)
Vaccinations
Health Professionals and those required to provide first aid or emergency
response duties or medical care on a routine basis will be offered Hepatitis-B
Virus (HBV) Vaccinations at Clipper wind Power’s expense. Employees that
transfer to a job or their job is reclassified to include exposure to blood-borne
pathogens will be offered HBV Vaccinations within 10 working days of the
transfer or reclassification.
The choice for HBV vaccination is not mandatory. If an affected Employee
chooses not to have the vaccination at the initial offering, they will have the
opportunity to be vaccinated when they are ready. Clipper wind Power will
document the offer, acceptance or declination, and vaccination dates with the
Notice of HBV Vaccinations Form.

Post Exposure Treatment and Notification Procedures
Treatment and
Notification
Should an affected Employee or an Employee acting as a "Good Samaritan"
be occupationally exposed to HIV/HAV/HBV the affected Employee will
report the exposure to their immediate supervisor. Clipper Wind Power will
provide for the Employee to be tested for HIV/HAV/HBV at no charge to the
employee. Following the initial blood test at time of exposure, seronegative
Employees will be retested at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months to determine
if transmission has occurred. During this period, the Employee will follow the
recommendations provided by the Physician or the U. S. Public Health
Service.
An "occupational exposure" is defined as blood or body fluid contact from an
injured or ill Employee to an open wound, or mucous membrane of the
affected Employee, or an injury by a contaminated sharp object. Following
the report of exposure, ____________ will contact the exposure source and
request that person be tested for HIV/HAV/HBV at Facilities expense. The
request is not mandatory and if refused will not effect that Employee's future
employment. The source individual's blood is tested as soon as possible and
after consent is obtained to determine HBV and HIV infectivity. (Hepatitis B
surface Antigen, Hepatitis C Antibody and HIV Screen)
The exposed employee's blood shall be collected as soon as feasible and
tested for HBV (Hepatitis Bs Antibody, Hepatitis C Antibody) and HIV
serological status after consent is obtained (Employee Consent for HIV
Antibody Testing).
During all phases of Post Exposure, the confidentiality of the affected
Employee and exposure source will be maintained on a "need to know
basis". The Blood-Borne Pathogens Exposure and Treatment form is used to
document the exposure and offer of medical assistance to the affected
Employee and use the Medical Consent for Blood-Borne Pathogens Testing
form for the exposure source. The results of any HIV/HAV/HBV tests
conducted will be provided to the exposed and source Employees within 5
business days of receipt.

General Procedures
Cuts If an employee has a needle stick, cut, or mucous membrane exposure to
another persons body fluids he/she must report the incident immediately.
Blood
Exposure
All employees exposed to human blood and blood products must report to
their immediate supervisor for information and possible inclusion in the
Hepatitis B Immunization Program.
Infection
Control Plan
The purpose of the Infection Control Plan is to protect the health and safety
of the persons directly involved in handling the materials, Facility personnel
and the general public by ensuring the safe handling, storage, use,
processing, and disposal of infectious medical waste. This plan complies with
OSHA requirement proposed for 29 CFR 1910.1030, Blood Borne
Pathogens.
Universal precautions: Refers to a system of infectious disease control
which assumes that every direct contact with body fluids is infectious and
requires every employee exposed to be protected as though such body fluids
were infected with blood-borne pathogens. All infectious/medical material
must be handled according to Universal Precautions (OSHA Instruction CPL
2-2.44A).
The following universal precautions must be taken.
1. Gloves must be made of appropriate disposable material, usually
intact latex or vinyl. They must be used:
o when the employee has cuts, abraded skin, chapped
hands, dermatitis, or the like.
o when examining abraded or non-intact skin of a patient
with active bleeding.
o while handling blood or blood products or other body
secretions during routine procedures.
2. Gowns, aprons, or lab coats must be worn when splashes of body
fluid on skin or clothing are possible.
3. Mask and eye protection are required when contact of mucosal
membranes (eyes, mouth or nose) with body fluids is likely to
occur (e.g. splashes or aerosolization).
4. Resuscitation equipment, pocket masks, resuscitation bags, or
other ventilation equipment must be provided to eliminate the
need for direct mouth to mouth contact.

Waste Disposal Plan
Disposal Plan 5. Medical/Infectious waste must be segregated from other waste at
the point of origin.
6. Medical/Infectious waste, except for sharps
(e.g. razor blades, broken glass, needles, etc.) capable of
puncturing or cutting must be contained in double disposable red
bags conspicuously labeled with the words, "INFECTIOUS
WASTE -- BIOHAZARD."
7. Infectious sharps must be contained for disposal in leak-proof,
rigid puncture resistant containers.
8. Infectious waste thus contained as described in procedures 2 and
3 above must be placed in reusable or disposable leak-proof bins
or barrels which must be conspicuously labeled with the words,
"INFECTIOUS WASTE -- BIOHAZARD." These waste barrels are
be picked up regularly by an outside company licensed to handle
infectious wastes.
9. Spills/Disinfectants: a solution of sodium hypo chlorite (household
bleach) diluted 1:9 with water must be used to disinfect, following
initial cleanup of a spill with a chemical germicide approved as a
hospital disinfectant. Spills must be cleaned up immediately.
10. After removing gloves, and/or after contact with body fluids, hands
and other skin surfaces must be washed thoroughly and
immediately with soap or other disinfectant in hot water.
11. Other biological wastes that do not contain radioactive or
hazardous substances may be disinfected by steam sterilization
(autoclave) and then disposed of in the regular trash.
12. Liquid biohazard waste may be disposed of in the sewage
system following chemical decontamination.
13. Reusable glassware must be decontaminated in sodium hyper
chlorite (household bleach) solution (1:9) prior to rinsing and acid
washing. Then the glassware must be sterilized in an autoclave.

Scope
The objective of this policy is to ensure that:
• Every chemical used by Clipper Windpower Inc. is evaluated with
regard to potential physical and health hazards.
• Information regarding potential hazard(s) of chemicals used at Clipper
Windpower, Inc. sites is transmitted to employees, visitors and
appropriate contractors.
• Employees are notified with respect to potential hazard(s) resulting
from operations and investigative activities.

STANDARDS & COMMUNICATION
OSHA Hazard
Communication
Standard
In August 1987, the United States Department of Labor, through its
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), revised its standard
for communicating potential health and physical hazards to employees,
contractors, and customers to cover all employees exposed to hazardous
chemicals in their work places. This standard applies to Clipper
Windpower Inc. and its subsidiaries. Requirements of the standard are:
• Hazard Determination
o Chemical manufacturers must determine both health and
physical hazards of the materials they produce.
• Chemical Inventory
o A chemical inventory must be compiled for each work area.
See Appendix A for a blank Hazardous Chemical Inventory.
 Maintained, up-to-date, and posted or filed in the work
area so that it is available for employee review at any
time.
o As new chemicals are introduced into the work area, they
must be added to the inventory along with filing a MSDS.
o A MSDS must be kept on file for 30 years as chemicals are
removed, changed, deleted or phased out.
Material Safety
Data Sheets
(MSDS)
• The producer of a hazardous material must prepare a MSDS for the
material, supply the customer a copy of the MSDS with the first shipment,
and update the MSDS as needed.
• Employees and contractors using, handling, or storing the chemical at the
customer's site must be given the information contained in the MSDS as
part of a training program. The MSDS must be readily available to
employees and contractors for review.
• The standard requires that the MSDS provide:
o The specific chemical identity of the material.
o The physical and chemical characteristics.
o The physical hazards.
o The health hazards, including signs and symptoms of exposure,
and medical conditions generally recognized as being aggravated
by exposure to the chemical.
o The primary routes of exposure; for example inhalation, ingestion
or absorption.
o The OSHA or other exposure limit used or recommended by the
MSDS author.
o Whether the chemical is a known carcinogen.
o The generally applicable precautions for safe handling and use of
the chemical.
o Emergency and first aid procedures.
o The date of preparation or latest revision.
o The name, address, and telephone number of a person who can
give additional information and appropriate emergency
procedures if needed.

PROCEDURES
Hazard
Determination
Procedure
• Chemicals mixed for on-site use must be evaluated to determine if they
are hazardous. If a chemical is determined to be a physical or health
hazard, an MSDS must be prepared and the hazard identified.
• The following procedure is used to evaluate the hazards of a chemical:
o Determination of Physical Hazards:
 The department mixing or using the chemical must
research relevant available literature, including published
as well as internal information.
o Sources consulted in evaluating hazards of chemicals:
 EH&S Manager/Coordinator
 29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart Z
 "Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and
Physical Agents in the Work Environment", American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, current
edition.
 "Workplace Environmental Exposure Level Guides",
American Industrial Hygiene Association.
 "Annual Report on Carcinogens", National Toxicology
Program.
 Monographs, International Agency for Research on
Cancer.
 Sources which may be consulted in hazard evaluation:

employees of known hazards which may be encountered during the course
of the job and how to use the MSDS system. This training is given by the
supervisor.
New Hazardous
Chemicals
Before a hazardous chemical previously unused in an area is put into
service, all employees assigned to the area must be instructed on the
hazards of the materials.
MONITORING & HAZARD REDUCTION
Monitoring for
Airborne
Chemicals
• Personnel monitoring samples and/or area (fixed location) samples are
collected and analyzed.
• The jobs monitored and locations that are sampled are chosen on the
basis of those with the greatest potential for employee exposure, except
for those chemicals regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health
Association. All employees with the potential for exposure to regulated
chemicals will receive initial air monitoring. If action levels are exceeded,
corrective action will be taken and monitoring will be performed every six
months.
• Potential exposure levels for other chemicals used or produced in the
various locations are determined as needed.
• Monitoring results are reported to the area sampled and to all employees
assigned to the job or, if appropriate, to the area. Results are maintained
in the EH&S Managers/Coordinators Office

CLASSIFICATION
Definition A powered industrial truck (PIT) is any mobile power-propelled truck used to
carry, push, pull, lift, stack, or tier materials. They may be ridden or
controlled by a walking operator. Common types of PITs include, but are not
limited to, forklifts, man lifts, and personnel carts.
Over-the-road trucks and earth moving equipment are NOT included in this
definition.
There are five (5) classifications of PITs operated by Clipper Windpower
employees.
Class I Electric Motor Rider Trucks
• Counterbalanced rider type stand-up trucks
• Three-wheel sit-down electric trucks
Class III Electric Motor Hand or Hand/Rider Trucks
• Low lift walkie pallet jack
• Stand-up AC powered narrow-aisle lift trucks
Class IV Internal Combustion Engine Trucks - Cushion (Solid) Tires
• Sit-down Rider Fork – LPG
Class V Internal Combustion Engine Trucks – Pneumatic Tires
• Fork Counterbalanced (Pneumatic Tires)
Class VII Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks
• Extended-Reach
• Pneumatic Tires

MAINTENANCE/CHECK SHEET(S)/REFUELING
Maintenance
and Inspection
All PITs will be inspected daily by a certified operator and any maintenance
will be performed by a qualified powered industrial truck mechanic.
• Any forklift not in safe operating condition must be removed from
service.
• All repairs must be made by authorized maintenance personnel.
Refueling The PIT operator-training program should teach trainees to observe the
following rules relative to the refueling of forklifts:
• Do not smoke at or near the refueling station.
• Do not restart gasoline or diesel-powered forklifts after refueling until
all spilled fuel has evaporated or been absorbed and wiped up, and
until the fuel tank cap is back in place.
• Do shut off the forklift engine when refueling.
• Do check the LPG tank for dents, gouges, and other damage.
• Do inspect the quick-disconnect coupling for damage, deterioration,
and damaged or missing flexible seals.
• Do inspect the valves and fittings of the LPG tank for damage and
ensure that the relief valve points are in the direction specified by the
manufacturer.
• Do wear gloves, long sleeves and a face shield when changing LPG
tanks. Escaping gas is painfully cold to the skin.
Charging/
Changing
Batteries
Many people do not know that batteries and battery acid can be dangerous.
Forklift operators should be taught to observe these rules:
• Battery charging installation areas are designated as battery charging
installation areas.
• Always wear appropriate impervious gauntlet gloves and eye and
face protection when filling battery cells.
• Battery charging areas must be provided with operable emergency
flushing facilities and with adequate ventilation for the dispersal of
fumes that batteries produce during charging.
• “NO SMOKING” signs must be posted in battery charging areas. DO
NOT SMOKE in battery charging areas.
• Add battery acid to water. Do not add water to battery acid.
• A carboy tilter or siphon must be provided for handling electrolyte.
• The forklift must be properly positioned and the brake applied before
an attempt is made to change or charge the batteries.
• The vent caps must be inspected to ensure that they are not plugged.
To avoid electrolyte spray, the vent caps must be in position before
the battery is charged.
o Tools and other metallic objects must be kept away from the
top of uncovered batteries.
o The battery cover or compartment cover must be left open
during the charging of batteries so that heat may dissipate.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR FORKLIFTS
Definition The general operating procedures outlined below are all safety related,
affecting the PIT operator, the pedestrian or the load being transported.
While some of these procedures may appear to be common sense, they
should all be thoroughly discussed to enhance overall safety.
Safe Operating
Procedures
• If at any time a forklift is found to be in need of repair, defective or in any
way unsafe, the forklift must be taken out of service until it has been
restored to a safe operating condition.
• All repairs must be made by authorized personnel only.
• Manufacturer’s operating instructions must be understood by the
operator.
• Operation of the controls must be explained and their functions
demonstrated.
• Load capacity information must be explained. A forklift must never be
used to lift a load beyond its capability.
• Fuel tanks must not be filled while the engine is running. Fuel spillage
must be avoided.
• Any spillage of oil or fuel must be carefully absorbed and wiped up or
evaporated. The fuel tank cap must be replaced before the engine is
restarted.
• A forklift must not be operated if there is a leak in the fuel system. The
leak must first be repaired.
• Seat belts are required to be worn while operating the forklift.
• The operator must always drive slowly enough to make a turn without
tipping the forklift and to stop safely for pedestrians.
• Wet or slippery driving surfaces require slower than ordinary speeds.
• The operator must not pass another vehicle at intersections, blind spots
or other dangerous locations.
• The operator must slow down and sound the horn at cross aisles and
other locations where vision is obstructed.
• The operator must watch for pedestrians, especially at intersections,
passageways and doors leading from toilets, lunchrooms and offices.
• The operator must never drive directly toward anyone.
• Stunt driving and horseplay are not permitted.
• A forklift may be used to elevate workers only if proper precautionary
measures are taken:
o A safety platform with guardrails must be firmly secured to the
forks to keep the worker from falling.
o The person being lifted should have some way of shutting off the
power to the forklift in case of emergency.
o Protection from falling objects should be provided in accordance
with particular conditions.
o No one can be allowed to stand or pass under the lift portion of
any forklift, whether loaded or empty, because injury may result
from mechanical failure or falling objects.

Safe Operating
Procedures
• Loaders and/or operators must check the maximum load capacity on
the forklift nameplate.
• Lifted loads must be neatly piled and cross-tied, if possible.
• To reduce the risk of tipping, the load must be centered on the lift
forks.
• Carry the load low enough to avoid striking overhead obstructions,
such as doorways, electrical conduits and sprinklers.
• Carry the load high enough to avoid raised or uneven surfaces.
• Do not raise or lower a load while the forklift is moving, lest the
operator’s attention is distracted from driving.
• Drive the forklift in reverse if bulky items obstruct the front view.
• Easy and gradual starts and stops help prevent loads from shifting.
• Exercise caution on inclines. Always drive with the load pointed uphill
(whether ascending or descending).
• Be especially careful going downhill so that the forklift can be brought
to an emergency stop.
• Never load or park the forklift so that fire aisles, fire equipment, or
means of egress are obstructed.
• Utilize spotters if the load or other obstacles obstruct the operator’s
view.
• Motorized hand trucks must enter a confined area with the load end
forward.
• When loading highway trucks, properly secure the dockboard, then
drive over it carefully and without an overload.
• Keep forklifts well back from the edge of loading docks and other
open-sided floors.
• In order to safely board a highway truck with a forklift, set the brakes
of the truck and chock the rear trailer wheels so that the truck will not
move.
o Note: As pertaining to OSHA standard (1910.178) during
trailer loading/unloading operations, other positive mechanical
means used to prevent truck/trailer movement may also be
acceptable. IOSHA allows use of springloaded brake system
and dock locks in lieu of chocking or blocks, since spring-
loaded brakes or dock locks serve as acceptable means to
secure trucks or trailers to loading docks. 29 CFR
1910.178(k)(1) requires wheel chocks to be placed under the
rear wheels of highway trucks to prevent the trucks from
rolling while they are boarded by powered industrial trucks;
and 29 CFR 1910.178(m)(7) requires wheel blocks to be in
place to prevent movement of trailers while loading or
unloading. Specifically, the opinion of the Iowa Department of
Labor is that spring-loaded brakes or dock locks are as safe
as compliance with the standards and are an acceptable
alternative to compliance with the standards provided the
brake systems or dock locks are properly maintained,
inspected and functionally checked to ensure effectiveness
and reliability.

Safe Operating
Procedures
• Immediately upon uncoupling a semitrailer from its tractor, inspect the
landing gear to ensure its ability to support the imposed load.
• Check the flooring of highway trucks, trailers and railroad cars for breaks
and other signs of weakness before boarding with the forklift.
• If a semitrailer is not coupled to a tractor, fixed jacks may be needed to
support the trailer and prevent its upending during loading or unloading.
• A forklift must not be parked closer than 8 feet to a railroad track.
• When the operator must leave the forklift unattended, load engaging
means must be fully lowered, controls must be neutralized, the power
must be shut off, and the brakes must be set. Removing the keys is an
additional safety precaution.
• When an operator is dismounted and is within 25 feet of the vehicle and
is in view of the vehicle, the engine may be left running. The load
engaging mechanism must be fully lowered, controls must be neutralized,
and the brakes must be set.
• Wheels must be blocked if the forklift is parked on an incline.
PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING A POWERED INDUSTRIAL TRUCK
Safe Starting
Procedure
• Secure the seat belt
• Apply the foot brake
• Place the direction selector lever in NEUTRAL
• Turn the ignition key to ON until the engine starts
• Check for visibility both in front and behind before engaging the forklift
gear.
• The forklift is now ready to operate.
Traveling • Be knowledgeable about plant traffic patterns and conditions.
• Maintain a safe following distance (three forklift lengths or three seconds)
behind other traffic.
• Keep a vehicle under control so that it can be stopped safely when floors
are slippery, wet or uneven.
• Avoid running over loose materials and slippery areas in order to avoid:
o Injury to the driver’s back
o Loss of control of the forklift
o Injury to the driver from being struck by the steering wheel or
by a lever
o Spilling the load
o Turning the forklift over on its side.
• Secure dockboard or bridge plates before crossing them with the
forklift and travel over them slowly and carefully.
• Maintain adequate overhead clearance from lights, sprinklers,
heaters, pipes, overhead tracks and doorways.
• Report or correct stacked material that is leaning to prevent collapse.
• Steer the forklift only with smooth motions in order to prevent loss of
control and tipping of the load.
• Check the rear clearance of the forklift before maneuvering near
pedestrians or near other vehicles.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING A POWERED INDUSTRIAL
TRUCK
Loading • When handling any load, space the forks so that the load weight is evenly
distributed.
• Only attempt to handle stable or safely arranged loads.
• Approach each load slowly and carefully with the mast in a vertical
position until the load touches the carriage.
• Tilt the mast backwards slightly, then lift the load.
• Do not lift a load higher than necessary for safe traveling (normally 2 to 6
inches floor clearance).
Transporting
Loads
• Always look in the direction of travel.
• Always travel with the load as low as possible while maintaining good
floor clearance. The mast should be angled slightly back.
• Keeping the load low helps maintain the stability of the forklift.
• Never lift or lower loads while traveling. Changing the load height while
traveling with the forklift can affect the stability of the forklift and possibly
interfere with forward vision.
• Railroad tracks should be crossed at a slight angle unless a long load is
being carried across the forks.
• Allow for the rear swing (counterweight) when turning into narrow aisles.
• Slow down and sound the horn at cross-aisles, sharp curves, ramps,
dips, office or corridor entrances, blind corners, and on wet, slippery or
rough floors.
• In congested areas or when vision is obstructed, keep the forklift at a
slow speed and watch for obstructions and pedestrians.
• Always operate on inclines with the load uphill.
• Go up inclines in forward gear and go back down in reverse.
• Protect against accidents or damage by making sure that the forklift and
load weights do not exceed floor limits and that the raised mast or
overhead guard clears all overhead obstacles, lights, pipes, sprinklers,
heaters, overhead tracks and doorways.
• Prevent loss of control by turning the steering wheel only with smooth,
controlled motions.
• Normally, starts and stops should not be sudden because they place
unnecessary stress on the forklift.
• If the forklift is unattended and if the forklift is not within the operator’s
view, or if the forklift is more than 25 feet away from the operator, the
operator must do the following prior to leaving the forklift: fully lower the
attachment, put the controls in neutral, shut the engine off, set the
brakes, and put the wheel chocks in place. Turn off the LP gas cylinder if
the forklift will be stored for an hour or more. To prevent a tripping
hazard, place the forks of a forklift under a pallet.
THINK “LOW AND SLOW” WHILE TRAVELING

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING A POWERED INDUSTRIAL
TRUCK
Unloading • Maneuver the forklift into position.
• Tilt the mast forward to vertical position so the load will be level.
• If necessary, raise the forks to the desired height
• Lower the load until it rests upon the desired surface
• Smoothly back away without dragging.
NOTES:
• Pallets loaded with cases and cartons should be stacked straight and
square. The top tier should be staggered so as to “tie” the pallets into
place.
• Operator trainees should be taught to stack rolls or round objects tightly
together and straight. Then the rolls must be held securely with wedges.
SAFETY TIPS
Safety Tips • Only operate a forklift if you are authorized to do so.
• Become familiar with the features and functions of each forklift you
operate.
• Give your forklift a thorough operational check prior to each shift.
• Only use approved forklifts in classified locations where fire hazards
exist.
• Do not allow pedestrians to pass under the forks or attachment of your
forklift.
• Assume the responsibility for keeping your forklift under control at all
times.
• Know your travel routes. Ensure that there is overhead clearance, that
the bridge plates are secure, and that all floor surfaces are of sufficient
strength (trailers, warehouse, etc).
• Do not allow anyone to ride on your forklift as a passenger.
• Enforce the rule against stunt driving and horseplay.
• Protect your arms, legs and other parts of your body by keeping them
within the forklift and overhead guard area.
• Obey the rule against eating or drinking while driving, so that your full
attention can be on your work.
• Pick up a load only when you are sure it is stable.
• Know and do not exceed the rated load capacity of your forklift.
• Be responsible for your forklift—never leave it unattended.
• Protect yourself by observing the “NO SMOKING” rule at refueling and
recharging stations.
• Protect others by driving with the forks low and by parking with the forks
on the ground.
• Only allow authorized personnel to perform maintenance on your forklift.
• On ramps, drive in reverse when carrying a load down inclines, and look
in the direction of travel when going up inclines.
• Make sure the forks of your forklift are not used as an elevator unless
you are using a safety platform designed to hold people.

SAFETY TIPS
Safety Tips • Satisfy yourself that the forklift you drive is equipped with the following
safety equipment:
o Backup alarm
o Rearview mirror
o High visibility color (with the rear of the forklift striped with paint or
reflective tape)
o Fire extinguisher
o Adequate and readily accessible emergency shutdown (deadman
seat brake)
o Rollover protection and seat belts
o Guards for air, hydraulic or fuel lines (from heat and abrasive
objects)
o Guards or shields for exhaust stack and service platform
o Special tires (for comfort, traction)
• Immediately report any accident to your supervisor, especially those
causing property damage or personal injury.
• Stop your forklift’s engine before filling the fuel tank.
• Use convex mirrors at blind corners to watch for pedestrians.
