All site participants will be informed of the hazards due to mechanical equipment or machinery (e.g., overhead falling objects; faulty wiring [electrocution]) as well as the causes of hazardous trip/slip/fall accidents. 7.1 SITE CONTROL Only authorized personnel will be allowed to enter the exclusion zone. This zone includes the immediate work area where there is a high probability of physical hazard. All personnel entering the exclusion zone will be required to sign the Health and Safety sign-in sheet prior to entry. Due to the hazards associated with working around heavy equipment that may be used during the field program, the exclusion zone will be defined at a maximum radius of 10 feet. The exclusion zone may be reduced if physical conditions or chemical exposures permit smaller exclusion zones. The exclusion zone will be identified as necessary with cones, barricades and tape. All PSI personnel and subcontractors will be required to wear appropriate PPE in the exclusion zone (see Section 9.0). 7.2 SECURITY Site security is necessary to: • Prevent the exposure of unauthorized, unprotected people to site hazards, • Avoid the increased hazards from vandals or persons seeking to abandon other wastes on the site, • Prevent theft, and • Avoid interference with safe working procedures, To maintain site security during working hours, PSI will conduct the following tasks: • Erect caution tape boundaries as necessary around the perimeter of the exclusion zones, and • Periodically monitor the perimeter for spectators and explain to them that "we are performing a subsurface investigation." No other reference to the site is necessary unless approved by the PM. Site activities will be limited to only authorized personnel. During site hours, all visitors will be required to sign the HSP sign-off sheet to document their presence and the nature of their business (Appendix D). 10
