Projeet-specific Health and Safety Plan: 7500 ff'est Eleventh Street, Tracy, California Page 2 of 5 <br /> Known Hazards: <br /> The principal hazards expected to be encountered on this project are those common to <br /> earth-moving work and geotechnical site investigations on land where the subsurface is <br /> affected by releases of fuel hydrocarbons,. <br /> j <br /> General Hazards <br /> j <br /> � { Typical hazards associated with geotechnical drilling include the potential for: pinching <br /> injuries of the extremities, entanglement of extremities and clothing in rotating <br /> A machinery, exposure to moderate noise from machinery, tripping hazards, and strains due <br /> to lifting heavy objects. <br /> = Typical hazards associated with earth-moving operations such as those that will be <br /> required to effect remediation of stockpiled soil present on the site include: crushing <br /> injuries due to being overrun by heavy construction equipment, pinching injuries of the <br /> t>:.a extremities, entanglement of extremities and clothing in moving parts of heavy <br /> machinery, exposure to noise from machinery, tripping hazards, and strains due to lifting <br /> heavy objects. <br /> Chemical Hazards <br /> ' Eight underground storage tanks and their associated piping beneath the site were <br /> removed in December 1998. Soil and groundwater in the subsurface beneath the subject <br /> property is known to be contaminated by gasoline and diesel. Gasoline and diesel may <br /> contain fractional components that are known to be human carcinogens. They also <br /> contain compounds that may injure human respiratory, hepatic, renal functions, and the <br /> central nervous system. If there is exposure to high concentrations of the vapors of these <br /> Q <br /> fuels for ]onperiods, dermal and eye injuries can also be sustained, especially if contact <br /> .l� , p Y � p Y <br /> is made with the compounds in liquid form or with waste materials that are highly <br /> saturated with these materials. <br /> Small quantities of commonly-used agricultural acidic soil amendments, lime and <br /> fertilizers containing phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen may be used as part of the soil <br /> remediation procedure. If ingested, these may induce a variety of toxic effects; however, <br /> if properly handled, pose little risk to project personnel. <br /> Specific Health and Safety Requirements: <br /> The work required for this project is not known to involve special hazards beyond those <br /> covered by the standard requirements of The San Joaquin Company Ine.'s Master Heath <br /> Health anis Safety Plats, incorporated herein by reference. All work will be conducted in <br /> { compliance with the applicable policies, safety rules and safe working practices set out in <br /> that Master Plan, a copy of which is on file with SJCHCSA. However, for emphasis, the <br /> {` following specific requirements are cited. <br /> sic <br /> ; 3 <br />
