I. Purpose:

To ensure all Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWP) meet or exceed minimum operational safety requirements and are maintained and operated in a safe manner in accordance with all Intel, Contractor, Equipment Manufacturer, OSHA, and ANSI specifications governing their use.

II. Scope

The requirements of this program apply to all MEWP utilized on Intel properties.

III. Program Requirements a. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

i. Manuals

1. Operating and maintenance manuals shall be available for each MEWP located on Intel property. The operating manual shall be provided with each rental, lease or sale delivery and shall be stored in a weather resistant storage compartment located on the MEWP.

ii. During Operation

1. MEWP shall be operated in accordance with the following requirements a. Workplace Assessment: Before the MEWP is used and during use, the user

shall check the area in which the MEWP is to be used through the use of the daily MEWP inspection log sheet (see Appendix 10.4 - Daily Inspection Log Sheet). The inspection log sheet shall be maintained on the MEWP at all times during its use. The workplace assessment shall include but is not limited to the following;

i. Floor conditions: Drop offs, holes, uneven surfaces, and sloped floors. ii. Housekeeping: Debris, floor obstructions, cords, construction material

and supplies. iii. Hazardous Energy: electrical power cables or panels, chemical lines,

gas lines, drain lines, and utilities. iv. Under/Overhead obstructions: Tight working conditions, adjacent

structures, pipe racks, ceiling grids and any other possible material or equipment that can be lodged or come in contact with the MEWP.

b. Guardrails: The MEWP guardrails shall be installed and access gates or

openings shall be closed per manufacturer's instructions. c. Load Capacity: The load and its distribution on the MEWP and any platform

extension shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's rated capacity for that specific configuration. Rated capacities shall not be exceeded when loads are transferred to the MEWP at any height. MEWPs shall not be used as a crane, (i.e. transport of materials, hoisting tools and equipment, etc.).

d. Clearance: There shall be adequate clearance from overhead obstructions to

prevent personnel from becoming caught between the MEWP and the surrounding facility structures. Personnel shall remain within the confines of the guardrails during all vertical movement of the work platform (i.e. personnel shall not lean out over the handrail during vertical movement).

e. Preventing Inadvertent /Accidental Movement:

i. MEWP control panels/stations shall include a separate control which shall be continuously activated by the operator for upper directional controls to be operational, which can be released by the operator independently from the directional controls, and which renders upper controls inoperative when released (Excerpt from ANSI A92.6-1999).




Controls which activate movement of the MEWP must return to the “off” or “neutral” position when released. Time-delay activation controls are not permitted. Note: For lifts that utilize a “trigger-type” enable function on the joystick, the trigger must be activated prior to joystick movement for the lift to operate. EXCEPTION 1: Scissor lifts used in Israel shall require dual-handed operation. EXCEPTION 2: Boom lifts shall have a combination of one foot control in conjunction with one hand control or meet the criteria above.

ii. Control panels/stations shall be readily accessible to the operator, kept free of materials, and shall be protected/guarded from inadvertent contact by personnel, tools or materials from within or external to the work platform.

iii. Control panels/stations that are movable from side to side or front to back must be secured in their home position to prevent inadvertent operation except in cases where it causes increased risk of injury or equipment damage. Control panels/stations not permanently attached shall have their normal location and orientation clearly marked.

f. Elevated Driving Requirements: Visual and verbal communications prior to lift movements should be utilized to warn pedestrian and co-workers that the lift will be set in motion. Work platforms shall be lowered to their base position prior to traveling horizontally to different work locations (over 10 feet). Horizontal movement of the work platform in the elevated position is only allowed for the final positioning of the lift at the specific work location. All movements performed in congested work locations must be performed with the aid of a spotter (see section 4.3 - Spotters).

g. Travel Speeds: Under all travel conditions, the operator shall limit travel

speed according to conditions of ground surface, congestion, visibility, slope, location of personnel, and other factors causing hazards of collision or injury to personnel.

h. Personnel Footing: Personnel shall maintain a firm footing on the platform

floor while working. The floor of the work platform shall be kept in a clean and orderly fashion (i.e. free of trash, materials, tools, etc.) Use of planks, ladders, or any other device on the MEWP for achieving additional height or reach is prohibited unless additional fall protection measures are employed and specifically approved by the appropriate Environmental Health and Safety representative. The EHS representative shall ensure the following determinations have been conducted prior to authorizing the use of planks, ladders or other devices for additional height.

i. The task cannot be accomplished using an alternative method of accessing the area or performing the operation (i.e. utilizing a different type of lift, erection of scaffold, performing work at ground level).

ii. The use of alternative methods such as a scaffold, ladder, etc. would present a greater risks of incident/injury (i.e. access/erection of scaffold or use of ladders would create a greater fall hazard).

iii. The duration of the task dictates that exposure is less than that which would occur during installation of other means (scaffold erection).




iv. An adequate fall protection plan has been developed and the associated hazards have been outlined in the crews Pre-Task Planning.

2. Fall Protection

a. Aerial Boom Lift: Additional fall protection requirements are required during the use of aerial boom lifts:

i. A full-body harness with a fall arrest lanyard shall be worn at all times while conducting work from inside the aerial boom lift cage. The fall arrest lanyard shall be secured to the aerial boom lift fall protection attachment point. Utilize a lanyard as short as possible to minimize the potential for ejection out of the cage.

ii. Tying off to an adjacent pole, facility structure, or equipment while working inside the cage of an aerial boom lift is prohibited.

iii. Personnel required to climb out of an elevated boom lift onto an elevated facility structure shall utilize 100% tie off procedures during the transition from the boom lift cage to the elevated work location, (i.e. personnel shall tie off to a fall rated facility anchorage point prior to disconnecting their lanyard attached to the aerial boom lift cage).

b. Scissors Lifts: In the event the operators’ feet leave the floor of the work

platform in order to reach higher elevations, an approved fall protection system shall be utilized. Individuals shall attach their fall protection lanyard to an approved anchorage point (located above the scissors lift) which is capable of withstanding 5,000 lbs. or two times the arresting force as identified by the EHS representative.

3. Work Area: The operator and/or the spotter shall ensure that the area surrounding the MEWP is clear of personnel and equipment before lowering the platform. Care shall be taken to prevent rope, electric cords and hoses from becoming entangled in the MEWP.

4. Safe Approach Distances: No MEWP may be operated within 30 feet of overhead

energized lines or within the National Electric code clearance requirements without an approved Site Incident Prevention Program permit.

5. Altering Safety Devices: Altering or disabling interlocks or other safety devices is

prohibited and is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

6. Fueling: The engine shall be shut down while fuel tanks are being filled. Fueling shall be done in a well-ventilated area free of flame, sparks, or other hazards that may cause fire or explosion.

7. Battery Charging: Batteries shall be charged in a well-ventilated area free of flame,

sparks, or other hazards that may cause fire or explosion.

8. Improper Platform Stabilization: The MEWP shall not be positioned against another object to steady the work platform.

9. Unusual Operating Support Conditions: MEWP shall not be operated while

positioned on trucks, trailers, railway cars, floating vessels, scaffolds, or similar equipment unless the application is approved in writing by the manufacturer and appropriate Environmental Health and Safety representative.




10. Stabilizers: The outriggers, stabilizers, extendible axles, or other stability enhancing means, shall be used as required by the manufacturer.

11. Stunt Driving: Stunt driving and horseplay is prohibited.

12. Driving on Slopes: The MEWP shall not be driven on grades, side slopes or ramps

exceeding those for which the MEWP platform is rated by the manufacturer.

13. Snagged Platform: If the MEWP basket or supporting assembly becomes caught, snagged, or otherwise prevented from normal motion by adjacent structures or other obstacles such that control reversal does not free the platform, all personnel shall be removed from the platform/basket before attempts are made to free the platform using chassis controls.

iii. Spotters

1. Depending on the location and local work environment, safety spotters may be required during the use of MEWP. Spotters shall be required when there is a potential for operator injury due to physical contact with facility systems or structures. Spotters shall also be required when there is a potential for damage to sensitive facility systems or structures. Examples of when a spotter is required are: the use of MEWP in congested work locations such as overhead piping/mechanical chases above ceiling grids, in close proximity to other personnel, in operating manufacturing areas, in FABs / subfabs, in areas of poor visibility, in locations adjacent to Hazardous Production Materials, in areas with floor openings/leading edges, or in areas containing energized electrical equipment. A safety spotter may be another co-worker located on the work platform or on the ground depending on area to be observed during movement. The spotter shall work in conjunction (team) with the operator to ensure the MEWP is utilized in a safe manner.

a. Spotters shall be in a visual line of sight with the MEWP and be able to lower the MEWP in an emergency. EMO button shall be visible and unobstructed.

b. Spotters shall monitor all horizontal and vertical movements and provide guidance to the operator.

c. A spotter may spot for multiple lifts. The spotter is not an additional person for the sole purpose of observing the lift. The spotter is meant to be a productive worker who can be called on to observe the MEWP during the vertical or horizontal movement.

d. The spotter shall conduct a workplace hazard assessment survey for potential hazardous operating conditions prior to all horizontal or vertical movements of the MEWP.

iv. Hazard Warnings / Signage

1. When other moving equipment and or personnel are present in the work area, special precautions shall be taken to comply with the Intel Overhead Work and Barricading Policies. Warnings such as, but not limited to, flags, roped-off areas, flashing lights, safety cones or barricades shall be used. Additional warning/signage may be required per the local site ordinances or safety specifications.

Appendix B

Daily Pre-Use Inspection Requirements

Purpose: To ensure all MEWP in use are in a safe operating condition at all times and to ensure all Intel,

Contractor, Equipment Manufacture, OSHA, and ANSI daily inspection requirements are being adhered to. Directions:

1. Contractors must ensure all MEWP operators are trained and qualified to operate the model/type of MEWP being used. Each site must establish an audit process accompanied by a displayable certificate/process which the worker keeps on their person, (i.e. - hard hat stickers, badge, operator’s license, operator’s card, etc.) 2. Ensure all operators fully understand and comprehend daily inspection process and requirements for the model of lift they are using. 3. Require documented pre-use inspections to be performed prior to the use of all MEWP by either the operator or a qualified equivalent on a daily basis. (i.e. - lift mechanic, foreman, safety officer, equipment manufacture rep., etc.) 4. The current pre task planning and pre-use inspection log sheet must be posted on the MEWP. 5. Party performing the inspection validating the safety of the MEWP must enter: date, shift, and their name on the log sheet. Contractor crew using the lift must also have their company name listed on the top right corner of the log sheet. 6. The MEWP must pass the inspection with 100% of the inspection requirements being found to be in proper working order. Any MEWP not passing all inspection requirements shall be put out of service and “red tagged” in addition they must be “locked out” or be removed from the work area and stored it in a secured area. (I.e. locked up in storage yard, or sent back to equipment vendor, sent to the maintenance shop, etc.) 7. Failure to follow these requirements may be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment on Intel projects. (compliance issues) 8. Any willful act of by passing a safety feature or overriding an interlock device on an MEWP is a ZERO TOLERANCE disciplinary offense, and shall result in termination and removal of individuals immediately from the work site. 9. Any willful act of falsifying or purposefully misrepresenting the safety condition of an MEWP is a ZERO TOLERANCE disciplinary offense, and shall result in termination and removal of individuals immediately from the work site. 10. When the operator feels that, to perform the task, it may be necessary to use planks scaffold or other means to obtain additional height the operator MUST have signature approval by the appropriate safety representative (see Section 4.2.8 of the MEWP Policy)
