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 (in the summer); and <br /> • Exposure to petroleum products and/or vapor <br /> The first five of these are classified as physical hazards, while exposure <br />' to petroleum products is considered to be a chemical hazard Physical <br /> and chemical hazards are described separately below. <br /> Physical Hazards <br />' Utilities and the underground storage tanks were located by <br /> Underground Service Alert during the UST removal activities in 1991 <br />' and site investigation activities in 1992 Prior to the initiation of this <br /> field work, the locations markings of the utilities will be verified by <br /> ERM-West personnel The actual locations of the wells will be <br /> carefully chosen using the information provided by the markout and <br /> noting any other potential hazards (overhead electrical lines, etc.) <br /> Caution will also be maintained during drilling by slowly advancing <br />' the drill for approximately the first five feet of depth <br /> Worker safety in the vicinity of heavy equipment, such as the drill rig, <br /> 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 /> 4-1 <br />
