Health&Safety Plan �.. Page 10 of 17 When required,respirators will be cleaned daily by the individuals to whom they have been assigned. Each individual will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining his/her own respirator. A washbasin or sink, with solution containing sanitizer recommended by the manufacturer, will be provided in the decontamination area for final rinsing of respirators at the end of the day. Respirators will then be hung to drip dry and, if not used daily, will be placed inside plastic bags for protection against contamination. Respirator cartridges will be changed at least daily of more frequently if sampling data indicate potential saturation concentrations exist or breathing resistance becomes difficult. The SSHO will also spot check respirators to ensure that they all remain clean and are properly maintained and stored. 8.4 Equipment Decontamination If in Level C or above, all equipment being used in the work area will be subject to complete decontamination procedures before the equipment is removed from these areas. Equipment and vehicles which contact potentially contaminated soil will be decontaminated using a steam cleaner or hot water pressure washer. Wastewater will be contained in all holding tank or drums for further disposal at an appropriate facility. All contaminated items will be carefully inspected and/or decontaminated to the satisfaction of the SSHO before being taken off site. 9.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN On site emergencies will ultimately be handled by off site emergency support personnel.
