SHARP Management Manual
<br /> \4 I
<br /> ' Former Tracy MGP Project Safety Plan(PSP)
<br /> • Site Access Control — Driving vehicles in the work zone must be approved by the Site Manager or
<br /> HSO. No vehicles can be driven on gravel covered areas. Be aware of hazards (i.e. barricades,
<br /> traffic cones, wells)in roadways.
<br /> • Training—HAZWOPER certification (40-hr, 24-hr and/or 8-hr refresher), site-specific training (HASP
<br /> review and sign off), daily tailboard safety meetings. Copies of the HASP and MSDS's are available
<br /> to all personnel.
<br /> • Contamination - Avoid walking in puddles of water, sitting on the ground or leaning against
<br /> contaminated equipment. Eating, smoking and applying cosmetics are not permitted in the work
<br /> zone. Drinking water may be permitted in the work zone depending on site-specific conditions and
<br /> the possibility of heat exhaustion.
<br /> • Proper hygiene—wash hands and face before eating,drinking and smoking.
<br /> Safe use of engineering controls and equipment on the site
<br /> • Mobile equipment — use horns to alert others. Mirrors and back-up/travel alarm must be functional.
<br /> Use a spotter when backing vehicles with blind spots and/or around equipment(i.e. pipe lines, etc).
<br /> Acute effects of compounds at the site
<br /> Compound Physical Descrition(Health Effects/Symptoms

<br /> (Benzol,Phenyl Hydride) respiratory system irritant. Causes giddiness,headaches,nausea,staggered gait,fatigue,
<br /> anorexia,exhaustion,dermatitis,bone marrow depression,and leukemia. Mutagen,
<br /> experimental ter ato en,and carcinogen.
<br /> Toluene Colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. Eye and nose irritation, fatigue, weakness, confusion,
<br /> dizziness, headache, dilated pupils, excessive tearing, nervousness, muscle fatigue, paresthesia,
<br /> dermatitis,liver and kidney damage

<br /> irritation;headache;dermatitis;narcotic;coma
<br /> Xylenes Colorless liquid with aromatic odor. Irritates eyes,skin,nose,and throat.Causes dizziness,
<br /> drowsiness,staggered gait,lack of coordination,irritability,excitement,corneal irregularities,
<br /> conjunctivitis,dermatitis,anorexia,nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,and olfactory and
<br /> pulmonary changes.Also targets blood,liver,and kidneys. Mutagen and experimental
<br /> teratogen.
<br /> TPH-Gasoline Eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation; dermatitis, headache, fatigue, blurred vision,
<br /> dizziness, slurred speech, confusion, convulsions, chemical pneumonia on aspiration, possible
<br /> liver and kidney damage
<br /> TPH-Diesel Primary system effect is CHS depression. Inhalation of vapors may cause nausea, confusion,
<br /> drowsiness,convulsions and coma.Liquid may cause skin and eye irritation.
<br /> Benzo(a)pyrene Pale-yellow crystalline or powder;Can cause skin irritation with rash and/or burning sensations,
<br /> irritation and burning of the eyes on contact,probable carcinogen
<br /> Naphthalene White crystals which are insoluble in water,strong coal tar odor(moth balls);skin contact can
<br /> cause irritation and rash or dermatitis,dust or vapors can cause headache,nausea,vomiting,
<br /> extensive sweating,and disorientation.The predominant reaction is delayed intravascular
<br /> hemol sis with symptoms of anemia,fever,jaundice,and kidney or liver damage.
<br /> Decontamination procedures
<br /> • Work zones — equipment, PPE (e.g. gloves, footwear) must be decontaminated or disposed before
<br /> leaving the exclusion zone. Use boot wash stations when appropriate.
