1 <br /> 1 <br /> 1.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM <br /> Geological Technics has incorporated the following health and safety precautions while <br />' working on sites containing unidentified hazardous waste Once the nature and extent <br /> of contamination has been determined, additional work on site will be met with the <br /> proper precautions. <br /> 1.1 Workers Health and Safety <br />' 11.1 Work Space Safety <br /> The perimeter of the work space should, if possible, be 20 feet from the drilling rig or <br /> excavation site. The working perimeter will be marked by brightly colored delineators <br />' All unauthorized personnel will not be allowed access into the work space <br /> The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible <br />' working environment at all times. If an emergency occurs, the supervisor will <br /> immediately contact the proper authorities <br /> 11.2 Skin and Head Protection <br /> Disposable suits, boots, and gloves will be worn when the working conditions require <br /> such precautions. <br /> Disposable plastic gloves will be worn at all times during soil and groundwater sampling <br /> .. The 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 /> I Hard hats will <br /> be worn during drilling, excavation, and other activities in which <br /> Ipotentially 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 <br /> monitored with either a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) or SKC Color-Detector Tubes <br /> (Draeger Tubes) for gas and vapor content The PID measures the total organic <br /> compounds (VOC) vapor concentration while the Detector Tubes measures the levels of <br /> specific compounds in the air being sampled. Monitoring of the working air space shall <br /> be concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind direction <br /> If working airs ace concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure Limits, then the <br /> Iworkers will wear respirators with organic vapor cartridges <br /> If working air space at the perimeter of the working space has levels that exceed the <br /> Permissible Exposure Limits for more then 15 minutes, then the drilling or excavation <br />
