1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Safety and health are the foundations of AMSO's commitment to our guiding principals of <br />"Technical Excellence, Respect for People, and Absolute Ethics". AMSO is dedicated to <br />providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees, subcontractors, and visitors <br />at every work site. The AMSO Safety and Health Program (SHP) establishes the guidelines, <br />procedures and protocols designed to ensure our dedication to safety and health is maintained <br />throughout the performance of our work. The SHP was developed on the basis of our <br />experience, consultation with safety and health professionals, and input from our clients. <br />AMSO's SHP is a dynamic program and is updated as necessary to address new or changing <br />conditions encountered in our work. <br />The SHP covers a broad range of site conditions and situations, and not all components of the <br />program will apply at every site. When necessary, site-specific safety and health plans (SSHP) <br />incorporating the appropriate components of the SHP are prepared to guide operations at <br />individual sites. However, it is the responsibility of each AMSO employee to recognize what <br />safety and health issues apply at each project site and to reevaluate safety and health issues with <br />changing site conditions or with each work item or task. If a health and safety condition <br />develops that is not explicitly addressed in the SHP and SSHP, work should be stopped and the <br />Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) should be notified. Interim safety measures may be <br />implemented upon approval of the SSHO, and final health and safety measures will be prepared <br />and incorporated into the SHP and SSHP. <br />1,1 Purpose of the Safety and Health Program <br />AMSO is committed to providing a safe work environment for employees, subcontractors, and <br />visitors. This SHP was developed to fulfill the following objectives: <br />To familiarize potentially exposed employees and subcontractors with the specific <br />hazards associated with project sites. <br />Inform employees and subcontractors on the proper actions to be taken if a hazardous <br />condition cannot be avoided by engineering controls. <br />•
