Site Safety and Health Plan <br /> SECTION 7 <br /> LEVELS OF PERSONAL PROTECTION <br /> REQUIRED FOR SITE ACTIVITIES <br /> Personal protective equipment (PPE) that will be required on site during the field activities is <br /> described in this section. Additional PPE may be required depending on other permit <br /> requirements (excavation, safe entry) requirements (see Section 9) and/or field conditions. <br /> 7.1 Dermal Protection <br /> Minimum dermal protection for all field team members will be Level D, which includes standard <br /> work clothes that include sleeved shirts, long pants, approved safety glasses with side shields or <br /> "wrap around" protection, hardhat, and sturdy shoes or steel-toed/shanked leather work boots. <br /> For specific tasks, Level D dermal protection shall be upgraded as follows: <br /> All personnel who perform sampling or monitoring activities shall wear inner surgical-style <br /> nitrile and outer chemical-resistant nitrile gloves. For groundwater sampling only, outer gloves <br /> may be removed to assure adequate dexterity when handling sampling containers. If surgical- <br /> style nitrile gloves become wet they should be dried immediately. Surgical-style gloves should <br /> be changed frequently to assure their integrity. <br /> Steel toed/shanked neoprene or rubber boots or overboots shall be worn when in wet/muddy <br /> areas. <br /> Uncoated Tyveko suits shall be worn over standard works clothes as described above whenever <br /> contact is likely with contaminated soils,poisonous plants, or stickers. <br /> Water impermeable (e.g., Saranexo) coveralls shall be worn when sampling surface water, and <br /> whenever contact is likely with wet contaminated soils, groundwater, sediments or surface water. <br /> Safety vests must be worn when working around heavy equipment or vehicles. <br /> Hearing protection will be worn when working around construction, heavy, or other equipment <br /> or tools or whenever conversations cannot be held at distances of 3 feet or less without shouting. <br /> Personal Flotation Device if on or near water. <br /> Full body harness and lifeline with "shore-watch" personnel if working around soft sediments or <br /> water per Section 2.3. <br /> Certain activities, such as hand excavation of contaminated soils, may require Level C dermal <br /> protection. Dermal protection for Level C includes the following items to supplement Level D <br /> protection: impermeable suit (e.g. coated Tyvek5 or Saranexe suit), impermeable boots (e.g. <br /> coated TyveO or Saranex° booties), and nitrile gloves. Particular tasks to be performed in <br /> Level C dermal protection can be upgraded as described above for Level D. <br /> Pa <br /> Incident Free Operation in 25 of b8 <br />
