SECTION 4 <br /> HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN <br /> This section describes the potential health and safety hazards and <br /> appropriate procedures to be followed to prevent injury or chemical <br /> exposure during drilling and well development activities. <br /> Significant site-specific hazards anticipated during drilling, well <br /> development and construction, ground water sampling, and soil <br /> sampling include the following: <br /> • Underground utilities, <br /> • Heavy construction equipment (drill rigs); <br /> Motor traffic; <br /> • Heat stress tin the summer); and <br /> • Exposure to petroleum products and/or vapor_ <br /> The first five of these are classified as physical hazards, while <br /> exposure to petroleum products is considered to be a chemical <br /> hazard. Physical and chemical hazards are described separately <br /> below <br /> Physical Hazards <br />' Utilities and the underground storage tanks were located by <br /> Underground Service Alert during the UST removal activities in <br /> 1991. Prior to the initiation of the 1992 field work, the locations <br /> markings of of the utilities will be verified by ERM-West personnel. <br /> The actual locations of the wells will be carefully chosen using the <br /> information provided by the markout and noting any other potential <br /> hazards (overhead electrical lines, etc.) Caution will also be <br /> maintained during drilling by slowly advancing the drill for <br /> approximately the first five feet of depth. <br /> Worker safety in the vicinity of heavy equipment, such as the drill <br /> rig, will be stressed on the job site. Safety procedures will consist of <br />' keeping the personnel working in the vicinity of the drill rig to a <br /> minimum, and making the operator aware of personnel that are <br /> present within his work zone. Also, personnel in the immediate <br /> 41 <br />
