9 ' HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN ' Pacific Gas and Electric Company is dedicated to ensuring that its employees and contractors work within a safe and healthy environment at potentially hazardous sites. All field personnel working on the project will be SARA -trained (Hazardous Waste Site Operations 40 -hour training class). This Health ' and Safety Plan is prepared in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 and will be implemented during the soil and groundwater sampling portions of the remediation project described in this workplan. The ' requirements, specifications, and procedures presented in this plan will apply to all on-site personnel involved in this investigation including employees, contractors and sub -contractors, site visitors, and ' regulatory agency personnel. ' KEY PERSONNEL The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager will provide necessary training to site personnel involved in the proposed field activities in the use of safety and personal protection equipment and will manage the on-site ' monitoring program. The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager will have the authority to deny access to any individual without the proper training, medical release, or protective equipment required for the site ' conditions or those individuals disregarding site safety procedures. All site personnel will be under the direction of the Site Safety Officer/Project Manager. The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager for this ' project at PG&E's McMullin Gas Dehydrator Station is Darrell Klingman (phone: 510-866-5883, pager: 510-448-3623) or Eric Johnson (phone: 510-866-5888, pager: 510-539-1910). HAZARD ANALYSIS ' The activities addressed by this health and safety plan include soil sampling while conducting exploratory soil borings, well installation and development, and the collection of groundwater samples from monitoring ' wells. Although exposure to chemical contaminants at hazardous levels is very unlikely, these activities present a remote potential for exposure to potentially hazardous substances via ingestion, dermal contact, ' and inhalation. For this Health and Safety Plan, the chemicals of concern are petroleum hydrocarbon compounds (e.g., gasoline and diesel -range hydrocarbons) and aromatic compounds (e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes). The most significant risk associated with the compounds at the site is exposure to aromatic compounds. Skin contact will be eliminated by use of clothing and gloves. The inhalation hazard will be minimized by 402 331-98 63 B-1
