,g WE w i GASCO Gasoline Station January 30, 199I Project No. 3-30054-31 Page A-7 IV. JOB HAZARD SUMMARY In summary, the expected potential hazards to personnel in the work area are: 1. over exposure to chemical contaminants; ?. fire or explosion; 3. physical injury from equipment operated at the job site; 4. heat stress. As described in Section III, these potential hazards have been mitigated for the protection of the worker's health and safety. The proposed work does not appear to present any potential health risk to workers, the surrounding community, or the environment if the provisions of this SSP are properly implemented V. EXPOSURE MONITORING PLAN The Site Safety Officer shall monitor the ambient air in the work area with an organic vapor photoionization meter on an hourly basis when field work is in progress. If the meter indicates that petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the area exceed 100 ppm for a duration of 15 minutes, the Site Safety Officer shall require personnel in the work area to wear respirators with organic vapor cartridges (MSA 464046, or equivalent). All personnel working for Exceltech at the job site shall be monitored for heat stress. Because workers at the job site are expected to wear permeable clothing (e.g., standard cotton or synthetic work clothes), monitoring for heat stress will consist of personnel constantly observing each other for any of the heat stress symptoms discussed in Section V. ~ No dust monitoring shall be performed because none of the tasks in this project are expected to generate large quantities of dust. No noise monitoring shall be performed, because none of the tasks in this project are expected to generate enough noise to excesd the 90dB CAL-OSHA permissible exposure limit or the 85 dB action level for noise monitoring. However, ear and noise protection shall be made available to all personnel at the job site in the event noise levels exceed worker comfort levels. I
