Nuclear Scaffold Builder
DZ Atlantic (Comanche Peak/Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant)
02.2020 - 03.2021
- The workday usually begins with a pre-job brief, and during the briefing, you talk about the possible hazards that could be in the area
- It may be heat stress, it may be working at heights, it may be other workgroups working in the area
- So you talk about what are the mitigating Strategies
- If it's heat stress then we get a wet-bulb test to check the temperature in the area
- Once the correct temperature is identified, state times are issued for the work area
- We also lookout to make sure everyone stays hydrated at all times
- Before erecting scaffolding you must put up caution tape with a sign on all possible entry points to your work area
- The caution tape is to identify your work area
- Make sure the signs have the supervisor's name, extension, and what are the Hazards in the area
- We wore PPE at all time because you never know where the hazard will come from
- We practice our covid rules by wearing masks 100% and staying 6ft apart as much as we could
- If there's an injury make sure it got reported immediately
- We built scaffolding throughout the power plant, so we had to make sure our harness and lanyard were inspected daily.

- We built scaffolding throughout the power plant, so we had to make sure our harness and lanyard were inspected daily
- We had a drop item prevention method in place
- We took two minutes to survey the area for potential holes in penetrations, if so we cover them before erecting any scaffold
- During the take two we looked around to see if any other hazards were in the area and how could we mitigate them
- Conducted safety meetings first thing in the morning
- Walk through jobs and assign crews with work to be performed
- Speak with GF to request combustible permit if needed
- Fill out JSA and go over any permits with crew

Nuclear Scaffold Builder Foreman
Fluor Corporation (Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant)
09.2018 - 06.2019
- In the Nuclear Industry, we use an acronym for safety witch is S.T.A.R
- Stop - Do not rush into your jobs, you must stop long enough to think about what you are about to do
- Think - Once you stop, you have the time to think, so that you can make the best choice
- A
- What are my ALTERNATIVES or choices
- B
- What is the BEHAVIOR that I will choose
- C
- What might be the CONSEQUENCES of the action I am about to take
- Act - Once you decide on your best choice, you must act upon it
- Remember, you are making choices
- Review - Did you do the job as safely as possible
- The nuclear plant is a procedure-driven industry, so you must work according to the procedures
- Some of my responsibilities as foreman were making sure my crew did a proper take two before any job
- We took 2 minutes to look around and see what potential hazards were in the area, and what can we do to mitigating them
- If the plant is running made sure we had earplugs
- We made sure the work area had yellow caution tape with a sign identifying the Hazards in the work area
- We built scaffolding throughout the power plant, so we had to make sure our harness and lanyard were inspected daily
- When working at heights, we made sure to inspect the PPE before climbing
- We made sure to be tied off 100% if over 4ft off the ground
- We looked out for others while working in the area
- When working in a heat stress area, make sure everyone stays hydrated that's working in that area
- We made sure to know the heat stress stay times for that area
- If someone wanted to come into your work area take the time to stop and explain to them the hazards in the area
- I inspect to make sure the scaffold is built properly, and by procedure with handrails at the correct height between 38-45 inches for the top rail.

- In the Nuclear plant, Clearances play a major role
- Part of the Clearance program is knowing your boundaries, doing a walk down if you choose to ensure the tags and the grounds are correct
- Clearances and their associated tags are controlled by Operations
- We as a worker was responsible for making sure the Clearance Holder (who is the Supervisor who is supervising the work) has signed on the clearance in eSOMS
- Which prevents anyone from operating the equipment or removing the tags that are protecting us
- We work in Confined Spaces
- What confirms a confined space is being large enough for an employee to enter and perform work
- It has restricted or limited means for entry or exit
- It's not designed for continuous occupancy
- One of the main things we had to know was the confined space permitted or non-permitted required
- That determines if the confined space needed a hole watch or not
- We also check that the o2 monitor has been bump tested before we used it
- That way to make sure the air is safe to enter the confined space
- We made sure all scaffolds that were built had a proper sign to notify workers if it was harness required or not
- Situational awareness is a must because there's so many things going on around you and you must be ready to mitigate any possible dangers.
