3.0 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES <br />Personnel will be briefed each day in "tail -gate" meetings as to the day's goals and <br />equipment to be used. Anticipated contaminants, physical hazards and emergency procedures <br />will be reviewed. Correct PPE(Personal Protection Equipment), verified by the SSO will be <br />worn(including respirator tit). Onsite health and safety procedures will be discussed. <br />A qualified contractor will deliver and operate equipment. Only qualified personnel will <br />have contact with this equipment. All onsite personnel, including the contractor and his <br />employees, will be required to wear hard hats and steel -toed boots when close to heavy <br />equipment. Additionally, safety glasses with side shields or goggles and hearing protection <br />may be required. Nitrile or neoprene gloves will be worn by personnel collecting or <br />handling samples to prevent exposure to contaminants. Gloves will be changed as necessary <br />and used ones discarded to avoid cross -contamination. <br />Respiratory equipment will be worn if vapor contamination levels exceed action levels. No <br />onsite smoking, open flame or sparks will be permitted to prevent accidental ignition of <br />gasoline. All personnel will adhere to safety procedures and requirements. <br />4.0 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS <br />Physical and chemical hazards which may be encountered onsite include those associated with <br />operating mechanical equipment and dealing with potentially hazardous chemicals. <br />4.1 Physical Hazard Assessment <br />Physical hazards which may be encountered during drilling, excavation, site restoration. and <br />system maintenance include the following: <br />1. Injury or limb amputation from falling objects, moving machinery, or equipment <br />placed in a walking area. <br />2. Explosion and fires resulting from punctured natural gas pipelines or combustion of <br />flammable/combustible liquids. <br />3. Electrocution from buried or overhead power lines. <br />4. Explosion in trenches or excavations containing flammable/combustible chemicals. <br />5. Asphyxiation or toxic inhalation resulting from entering confined spaces containing <br />less than 19.5 percent oxygen or more than 25 percent oxygen or containing <br />hazardous chemicals. <br />6. Hearing loss resulting from noise generated during operation of heavy equipment. <br />7. Heat stress associated with hot weather and/or use of PPE. <br />
