Health&Safety Plan Page 7 of 17 * Hardhat * Nitrile gloves(if contact with potentially contaminated soil or water is expected) * Safety glasses * Neoprene or butyl rubber boots or latex boot covers(if contact with potentially contaminated soil or water is expected) 5.1.2 Level Cl Protection * One-half or full face respirator with high efficiency organic vapor cartridges with dust filter 5.1.3 Level C Protection * Cloth coveralls * Steel-toed boots with waterproof covers, or steel-toed rubber boots * Hardhat * Ear plugs or ear muffs * Nitrile gloves * Safety glasses * Full-face respirator with high efficiency organic vapor cartridges with dust filter 5.2 Maintenance and In-Use Inspection of Protective Equipment Effective use of protective equipment requires that the equipment be properly used, maintained, and inspected periodically during the day.Procedures will be presented during pre-entry training. 5.2.1 Gloves/Body coverings Gloves and coveralls will be regularly inspected and replaced if torn. Coveralls will be laundered daily at a minimum. Reusable gloves will be decontaminated whenever exiting work areas. 5.2.2 Respirators Site conditions are not anticipated to require respiratory protection, therefore, no respirators are expected to be necessary. However, respirators shall be inspected and checked daily for leaks both visually and with negative and positive pressure checks on the wearer. Respirator cartridges will be replaced daily or more frequently if excessive resistance develops. All respirator maintenance will be performed by the SSHO. The type of respirators used will be equipped with high efficiency organic vapor cartridges and dust filters. Respirator exterior will be wet-wiped whenever exiting work areas, as specified in Section 8. Respirators will be rinsed with a solution containing a sanitizer recommended by the respirator manufacturer. Respirators will be hung to drip dry and,if not used daily,will be placed inside plastic bags for protection against dust. 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 6.1 Real Time Air Monitoring A total volatile organics instrument shall be used to periodically monitor airborne concentrations of contaminants on site.A photo ionization detector(PID)(e.g.,hNu or OVM)or equivalent and explosimeter/oxygen meter will be used to screen excavated soils for volatile organic compound contamination. The PID will also be used to measure and record employee breathing zone levels of organic vapors and gasses. The monitoring program may be increased,reduced,or modified by the SSHO, based on site conditions and monitoring results.All monitoring will be accomplished under the direction of the SSHO,who will interpret the results. The air-monitoring program will include sufficient monitoring of air quality in work zones and other on-site areas to asses levels of employee exposure, determine that the work zone designations are valid, and verify that the respiratory protection being worn by personnel is adequate. The air-monitoring program is also designed to ensue that contaminants are not migrating off site to minimize exposure of near by populations and/or workers. Air monitoring shall be conducted at 15 minute intervals, unless it is determined that air monitoring may occur at less frequent intervals. These less frequent intervals would be the result of ambient air movement(wind,)or through the reduction of the air threat through verification monitoring. Such changes to plan will be logged.
