Installation Guide - Load Support _v2021.3a

Safety
Adhere to all applicable standard construction work safety procedures associated with site construction, power tools
and construction vehicles (e.g., EU Directive 92/571and US OSHA standards2).

Site Preparation Procedures
1) Preplanning excavation work – consider all possible jobsite conditions and consult with the appropriate
   authorities about traffic, nearby structures, soil, water supplies, underground utilities and weather – that may be
   reasonably expected prior to excavation.

Traffic control signs, signals, barricades or devices
1) Safety Standards – The use of appropriate traffic signs, signals and barricades where installation takes place near
   public roadways is mandatory to protect workers and equipment, as well as the vehicular traffic itself.

Personal Protective Equipment
1) Personal protective equipment – installers should wear reflective vests and protective gear for on-site safety
   including: helmets, work shoes, gloves, and safety glasses where applicable.

Power Tools and Air Supply
1) Equipment – operate pneumatic tools, compressor and generator according to the manufacturer’s instructions,
   and only if properly trained in its use and alerted to its potential hazards.

2) Eye protection – all members of installation team operating with or in proximity to power tools should wear safety
   glasses with side protection that conform to industry standards.

3) Air supply and connections – shall be secured to the hose in a positive manner to prevent accidental
   disconnection. Never use oxygen or other bottled gases for air supply. Do not exceed the PSIG indicated on the
   tool label. Disconnect when making adjustments or when not in use.

4) Operation of power tools (e.g., pneumatic stapler) – care must be taken during fastening, particularly to hands
   and fingers to avoid serious personal injury.

    NOTE: Make sure to disconnect the air supply to the compressor when adding staples to the pneumatic stapler –
    accidental discharge may cause serious personal injury.

Vehicles and Mechanized Equipment
1) Make sure that personnel are in the clear before driving in reverse, dumping, shoveling or lifting.

2) Do not drive directly on empty Tough-Cells.

Fill, Cover and Paved Layers
1) Employees and vehicle operators will be properly trained in the use of concrete pouring equipment and asphalt
   paving equipment if applicable, and alerted to potential hazards of the process, vehicles and fumes.
