procedures and delineated work/clean zones. However, we do not <br /> expect that such formal procedures will be necessary at this site <br /> and will only proceed at the Safety Officer's discretion. In the <br /> event extreme contamination is encountered, decontamination of <br /> personnel, equipment and vehicles will be important to insure that a <br /> contamination does not spread to unsuspecting people and property. <br /> Personal decontamination mainly 'involves personal hygiene. <br /> Contamination should not be present on the skin if the proper <br /> protective methods specified in this pian are used. However all <br /> field personnel will be instructed to follow these guidelines to <br /> insure that contamination dose not remain on equipment, sample <br /> containers or in contact with their bodies. <br /> The field personnel should remove their personal protective <br /> clothing in the following sequence: <br /> Step 1 : Move out of the exclusion zone and into the <br /> decontamination zone. Do not remove personal protective equipment. <br /> Step 2 : Obtain decontamination solutions and decontaminate the <br /> spades, shovels and other equipment by brushing them under a water <br /> rinse. A high-pressure steam cleaner may also be used for <br /> decontamination. All wastes and spent decontamination liquids will <br /> be properly contained. <br /> Step 3 : Remove outer gloves and coveralls and place them inside a <br /> garbage bag. Keep the air purifying respirator. on. <br /> Step 4: Move to the support zone and remove the respirator. <br /> 9. MONITORING PROGRAM <br /> Personal exposure to ambient airborne hazards will be monitored to <br /> assure that personnel exposures' do.,not exceed acceptable limits and <br /> that appropriate selection of protective equipment items is made. <br /> Airborne hydrocarbon vapor concentrations will be measured <br /> primarily by the use of a hydrocarbon vapor meter. If <br /> concentrations approach criteria . levels, all personnel will be <br /> notified of possible site safety changes. Audits may be conducted <br /> by the Safety Officer to insure compliance with the Health and <br /> Safety Plan and to provide additional support as required. <br /> 9. 1 Ambient Vapor Reading <br /> A hydrocarbon vapor detector will be used when excavation <br /> activities occur. - No excavation is anticipated during this <br /> project. This instrument willbe` used to measure both excavation <br /> and breathing zone concentration of hydrocarbon vapors. The <br /> instrument will be calibrated ,on a regular schedule using known <br /> calibrated gases. <br /> Readings will be taken in the area where the field team members are <br /> . 8 <br />
