UNITED PARCEL SERVICE <br /> Site Safety Plan <br /> October 7, 1991 <br /> b. EKplosive Vapors: Monitor for $ of Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) <br /> with a 02/LEL Meter to determine whether vapor concentrations <br /> within the confined space exceed 20% of the LEL. If readings <br /> exceed 20% LEL, personnel shall shut off accessible equipment, <br /> leave the site immediately, and contact the fire department. <br /> C. Toxic Vapors: Monitor the air within the confined space for <br /> organic vapors with a PID or FID following guidelines stated in <br /> Section 8. 0 (above) to decide on the respiratory protection <br /> needed. <br /> Enter the space p onlyif the oxygen level is a o <br /> yg t r <br /> above 19 . 5$, the $LEL is below 20$ the toxic vapor <br /> r <br /> concentration is determined, and the proper respiratory <br /> protection is worn. <br /> PTD or FID readings will be taken at the top, middle and bottom <br /> of a vault, shed, or other confined space to ensure that vapors <br /> do not exceed acceptable levels. <br /> All monitoring equipment must be calibrated and maintained in <br /> accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Instruments should be <br /> calibrated, or the calibration checked (on instruments which cannot be <br /> field calibrated) at the beginning of each work shift, or whenever <br /> there is reason to suspect the performance of the instrument (e.g. , <br /> when inconsistent or erratic readings are obtained) . The results of <br /> the calibration or calibration check should be recorded on the Daily <br /> Instrument Calibration Check Sheet in Appendix G. All air monitoring <br /> data must be recorded on the vapor Monitoring Sheet, Appendix H. <br /> Completed forms should be returned to the District Health & Safety <br /> Coordinator at the conclusion of the project. <br /> 19 <br />
