I�1 <br /> 3.0 JOB HAZARD SUMMARY <br /> These are potential hazards associated with the work to be completed at the Cal-Tank <br /> facility and include: <br /> • Chemical Hazards <br /> • Physical Hazards <br /> ( { • General Safety Hazards <br /> I, <br /> Each of the foregoing hazards is discussed below. Even though the concentrations of <br /> petroleum hydrocarbons, including benzene,toluene,ethylbenzene and xylenes, are <br /> expected to be low,EI personnel will plan for their presence in the working environment <br /> I� during all phases of work on this site. <br /> _ 3.1 Chemical Hazards <br /> Toxic substances can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. <br /> They can enter by more than one route,cause damage at the point of entry and cause <br /> organ damage after being metabolized. The most likely toxic substances to be <br /> encountered at the Cal-Tank site are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes. The <br /> following table lists the contaminants and their respective permissible exposure levels <br /> (PEL). Exposures at Cal-Tank for the projected work are not expected to exceed the <br /> PELs. <br /> EXPOSURE LIMIT <br /> ;J <br /> COMPOUND PEL EL ED CL TWA STEL IDLH OTHER <br /> � (mg/kg3) (mgtkg3) (mglkg3) (mg/kg3) (mg/kg3) (mg/kg3) <br /> If � Benzene 1 NKV NKV NKV 10 5 NKV Skin, <br /> Car <br /> Toluene 100 200 10 min. 300 100 150 2000 Skin <br /> per 8 hrs. <br /> Ethylbenzene 100 INKV INKV NKV 300 500 NKV <br /> LI Xylenes 100 200 30 min. 300 100 150 1000 --- <br /> per 8 hrs. <br /> Gasoline 300 INKV INKV NKV 300 500 NKV --- <br /> i`.
