• Hearing protection (available for use) • Booties (outer), chemical resistant, disposable (optional) • Hard hat / ( face shield - optional) 7.4 Monitoring Requirements Levels of organic vapors in the breathing zone of field personnel will be identified while they are performing their tasks at the site by utilizing a calibrated, direct reading, Photoionization Detector (PID), organic vapor analyzer (OVA), or equivalent instrumentation. Readings of these instruments will be utilized to define the level of protection field personnel will be required to work under. With PID instrument readings in the breathing zone of personnel of up to 50 parts per million (ppm), personnel may work with level D personal protective clothing and equipment. If the PID readings in the breathing zone of personnel are consistently between 50 and 250 ppm, site activities will continue but with the protection upgraded to level C. The works will be stopped, and personnel will be moved upwind of the exclusion zone, if PID readings are greater than 250 ppm, while the SHSC/HSM assess the situation. 7.5 Decontamination Requirements Personnel: All personnel leaving the active work area will be required to decontaminate personal protective clothing in the decontamination zone prior to leaving the site for breaks, lunch or end of work shift. The following operations, appropriate to protection level are to be accomplished for decontamination. Wash boots and outer gloves in soap solution and water, rinse and remove outer gloves. Remove and bag Tyvek. If cotton coveralls are used, bag and wash prior to rewearing. If wom, remove respirator and wash in soap solution and rinse in water. Remove latex gloves and dispose in a plastic trash bag. Wash hands and face. Take a shower and wash hair as soon as possible after leaving the site. Heavy Equipment: All contaminated equipment utilized by a contractor will be decontaminated by the contractor before it is used at another locale or before the equipment leaves the site. Any contaminated material, other than soil samples will be placed in metal drums and/or placed on plastic sheeting and covered and stored on site according to Federal, State and local storage regulations, until the material is analyzed for future disposal. 7.6 Safety Equipment While the underground fuel piping removal activities are in progress, BPC will provide a first-aid kit, eyewash kit, fire extinguisher and sorbent material for personnel at the site.
