0 <br />Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; call a physician immediately. <br />Oxygen Deficiency: Move out of oxygen deficient area into fresh air. <br />Call physician. IMMEDIATELY and induce resuscitation if breathing <br />has stopped. <br />The field team will be instructed to seek immediate professional <br />medical attention for all serious injuries. A first aid kit will be <br />present at the work site in case of minor injuries. If anyone <br />receives a splash or particle in the eye the field team will be <br />instructed to irrigate the eye for 15 minutes. Instruction will also <br />be provided to wash any skin areas with soap and water if direct <br />contact with contaminates has occurred. <br />Fire and Explosion Hazards <br />Fires on site are of particular concern during soil drilling and <br />sampling activities during the possibility of encountering flammable <br />petroleum hydrocarbon liquids or vapors. During these activities the <br />site safety officer will be present and equipped with an explosive <br />vapor monitor for area monitoring and a multipurpose (A, B, C,) fire <br />extinguisher. <br />Flammable materials will be cleared away from the site prior to the <br />start of work. If a fire dose occur, the local fire dept. will be <br />contacted immediately. <br />Operation shutdown <br />Under extreme circumstances the on-site supervisor, safety officer, <br />or project manager may request that operations by temporarily <br />suspended while the underlying hazard is corrected or controlled. If <br />vapor measurements with the explosive vapor monitor show levels <br />approaching explosive limits, operations will be stopped while the <br />area is controlled. During this activity, all personnel will be <br />required to stand up wind to prevent exposure to fugitive vapor <br />emissions. The safety officer will have ultimate authority for <br />operation shutdown. <br />Community Protection <br />To assure the community is protected from health and fire hazards, up <br />wind and down wind vapor monitoring will be performed if the general <br />work area has hydrocarbon levels exceeding 100 ppmv. If down wind <br />monitoring indicates persistent levels of 30 ppmv at the perimeter of <br />the work area, work will be shutdown and vapor control efforts will <br />be instituted until measurements indicate levels have dropped below <br />30 ppmv. An alternative approach of expanding the taped off area <br />zone may be used to provide additional community protection. <br />SSP -10 <br />
