10.4 Potential hazards at the site are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) including petroleum hydrocarbon from diesel, which contains low concentration levels of benzene, a carcinogen. 10.5 A copy of this plan would be available at the job worksite. 10.6 Contaminated protective equipment,respirators,hoses,boots,etc.,would not be removed from the site until properly cleaned or packaged and labeled. 10.7 Protective clothing would be worn when the potential for contact with contaminated soil exists, such as during trenching, drilling, etc. Protective clothing would consist of white tyvek coveralls, boots, PVC gloves, hard hats, safety glasses and ear plugs. After the removal of detectable contamination, white tyvek coveralls may be worn as an option. During operations involving eye hazard, safety goggles would be worn. Respiratory protection would be worn when the potential for dusts or vapors exist, such as during drilling. 10.8 Removal of contaminated soil from-clothing or equipment by blowing with air would be prohibited. 10.9 During operations where contaminated soil could be exposed, a regulated area . (perimeter)would be established around the drilling or excavation area. Within the perimeter, safety equipment would be worn,no food or beverages would be present or consumed, and no tobacco products would be present or used. 10.10 A tailgate safety meeting would be conducted at the beginning of each shift or whenever new personnel arrive at the jobsite. This meeting would discuss the health and safety consideration for the day's activities, outline protective equipment necessary and discuss emergency phone numbers. 10.11 Personnel on-site would receive basic safety training(slip,trip and fall,safe lifting techniques,and heat stress prevention,etc.),hazards and protective training,and VOC hazard awareness which includes routes of exposure and toxic effects. Personnel would meet the 40-hour training requirements (an addition_l 8 hours for supervisors) of 29CFR1910,120. 10.12 For employees who may be exposed to hazardous materials, the Threshold Limit Values (TLV's) established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists(ACGIH)would be adopted,unless the TLV established by California Health and Safety Orders,NIOSH,or OSHA 1900.1000 Standard are more stringent. 10.13 Engineering controls such as the use of dust suppression would be incorporated to prevent dispersion of hazardous material. Respiratory protection would be - — -worn by personnel-potentially exposed to dust-during_excavation or drilling and would consist of,as a minimum,half-face air-purifying cartridge respirators with particulate air cartridges. . ` w B-9 REMEDIATION - - SERVICES.
