i <br /> 1.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM <br /> Geological Technics has incorporated the following health and safety precautions while working on <br /> sites containing unidentified hazardous waste. Once the nature and extent of contamination has <br /> been determined,additional work on site will be met with the proper precautions. <br /> ' 1.1 Workers Health and Safety <br /> 1.1.1 Work Space Safety <br /> ' The perimeter of the work space should,if possible,be 20 feet from the drilling rig or excavation <br /> site. The working perimeter will be marked by brightly colored delineators. All unauthorized <br /> personnel will not be allowed access into the work space. <br /> ' The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible working <br /> environment at all times. If an emergency occurs,the supervisor will immediately contact the <br /> ' proper authorities. <br /> 1.1.2 Skin and Head Protection <br /> Disposable suits,boots,and gloves will be worn when the working conditions require such <br /> ' precautions. <br /> Disposable plastic gloves will be worn at all times during soil and groundwater sampling. The <br /> ' gloves will be changed after each sample has been collected. <br /> Used disposable clothing will be properly discarded at the end of each working day. <br /> ' Hard hats will be worn during drilling,excavation,and other activities in which potentially <br /> dangerous equipment is being operated within the work space. <br /> 1.1.3 Face and Respiratory Protection <br /> During drilling and excavation activities,the working air space will be periodically monitored with <br /> either a Photo Ionization Detector(PID)or SKC Color-Detector Tubes(Draeger Tubes)for gas and <br /> vapor content. The PID measures the total organic compounds(VOC)vapor concentration while <br /> the Detector Tubes measures the levels of specific compounds in the air being sampled. Monitoring <br /> of the working air space shall be concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind <br /> ' direction. <br /> If working air space concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure Limits,then the workers will <br /> wear respirators with organic vapor cartridges. <br /> If working air space at the perimeter of the working space has levels that exceed the Permissible <br /> Exposure Limits for more then 15 minutes,then the drilling or excavation activity will halt until the <br /> concentrations can be maintained below the Permissible Exposure Limits. <br /> 1.2 Health and Safety Agencies <br /> ' I.
