The <br /> Site Safety Officer shall also inform :he Project Manager of individuals whose;conduct <br /> " does not meet the safety provisions of this SSP. The Site Safety Officer reports to the <br /> Project Manager. <br /> A Site Safety Officer must be present during the field work operations. If the Site <br /> Safety Officer is not available, the Project Manager will assign a new Site Safety <br /> Officer to the site, with the approval of one of the Office Safety Coordinators. If not at <br /> the site, Mr.Garlow can be reached at(4151659-0404. <br /> III. JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS/9iTE CHARACTERIZATION <br /> Chemical Hazards <br /> The hazardous chemicals that may be encountered at the site are petroleum <br /> hydrocarbons, including benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene. A sum; nary of <br /> relevant chemical, physical, and toxicological properties for each chemical hazard is <br /> listed below. <br /> Benzene; Benzene is a colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. It <br /> is a relatively volatile chemical (vapor pressure = 75 <br /> MM Hg.@ 68 °F)that may possibly be present in soils in <br /> both the liquid or vapor form. The flash point of <br /> benzene is only 12 IF, thereby classifying it as a <br /> flammable liquid. Benzene is recognized by the <br /> National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health <br /> (NIOSH)as a potential humayl carcinogen. <br /> Benzene can enter the body through all four routes of <br /> exposure: (1) inhalation; (2) absorption; (3) ingestion; <br /> and (4) injection. Target organs ase the blood, central <br /> nervous system, skirt, bone marrow, eyes, and <br /> respiratory system. Acute exposure effects include <br /> irritation of the eyes, nose, and respiratory system as <br /> well as headache, nausea, staggerer; gait,depression,and <br /> abdominal pain. The chronic effect of over-exposure is <br /> the potential for cana�r. The PEL for benzene is 13.0 =� <br /> Ppm. <br /> � t <br /> ..t <br />
