13. Use respirators correctly and as required for the site; check the fit of the respirator with a negative or positive pressure test; do not wear respirator with facial hair or other conditions that prevent a face-to-facepiece seal; do not wear contact lenses when the use of a respirator is required. DECONTAMINATION Decontamination will take place on site. All workers, PPE, sampling equipment, and heavy equipment leaving the exclusion area will be decontaminated to prevent the spread of hazardous materials. All workers will wash hands, arms and face after removing PPE and prior to leaving the site. Disposable items will be bagged for disposal along with other hazardous wastes removed from property. Sampling equipment will be decontaminated using a three-step decontamination wash: (1) wash with alconox and water, (2) rinse with tap water, and (3) rinse with deionized water. Support vehicles are to be left outside the exclusion area so that decontamination will not be necessary. There are no special emergency decontamination procedures anticipated for this project. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of an emergency on site, the SSO will direct the course of action. It may be necessary for the SSO to depend on the other on-site personnel for assistance. The SSO will call for emergency assistance if needed. As soon as practical, the SSO will contact the PM and the CHSO. All staff assigned to this project will be briefed on the emergency procedures and their responsibilities for implementation. A map showing the location and route to the hospital is included as Figure A-1. The SSO is trained in first aid and CPR. A first aid kit and fire extinguisher will be located in the BC field vehicle. The emergency shut-off switch for the drill rig will be identified, and all field personnel working in the area will be informed of its location and function during the site safety briefing. The nearest telephone is located in the field vehicle. The emergency telephone numbers to be used to call for assistance are listed in the section on Key Personnel and Responsibilities with the reference list of project contacts. DOCUMENTATION The implementation of the SSHP must be documented to assure employee participation and protection. In addition, the regulatory requirements must be met for record keeping on training, medical surveillance, injuries and illnesses, exposure monitoring, health risk information, and respirator fit-tests. Documentation of each employee's activities is maintained by the CHSO in Sacramento, California. PA20000\2058ASSHP RLdoc Page 10
