_ <br /> SECTION 5 <br /> ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND CONTINGENCY PLAN <br /> 5.1 ACCIDENT PREVENTION <br /> ` All field personnel will receive health and safety training prior to the initiation of <br /> any site activities. On a day-to-day basis, individual persunneI should be constantly <br /> alert for indicators of potentially hazardous situations and for signs and symptoms in <br /> themselves and others that warn of hazardous conditions and exposures. Rapid <br /> recognition of dangerous situations can avert an emergency. Before daily work <br /> assignments, regular meetings should be held. Discussion should include. <br /> • Tasks to be performed. <br /> - Time constraints(e.g.,rest breaks,cartridge changes). <br /> Hazards that may be encountered, including their effects, how to recognize <br /> symptoms or monitor them, concentration limits,or other danger signals. <br /> • Emergency procedures. <br /> 5.1.1 Drilling <br /> Prior to any drilling activity efforts should be made to determine whether <br /> underground installations will be encountered and, if so, where these installations <br /> are located. Hard hats and safety boots must as a minimum be worn within 50 feet <br /> of the drill rig. The drilling rig cannot be operated within 10 feet of power lines. <br /> The Field Team Leader or Site Safety Officer will provide constant on-site <br /> supervision of the drilling subcontractor to ensure that they are meeting the health <br /> and safety requirements. If deficiencies are noted, work will be stopped and <br /> corrective action will be taken (e.g., retrain, purchase additional safety equipment). <br /> Reports of health and safety deficiencies and the corrective action taken will be <br /> forwarded to the Project Manager. Periodic air monitoring will be performed by the <br /> Site Safety Officer to ensure that proper personal protection is being utilized. <br /> 5.1.2 Groundwater Sampling <br /> The Site Safety Officer will ensure that entry into any exclusion zone is controlled <br /> to make certain that personnel entering this zone don the proper_ protective <br /> clothing. Periodic air monitoring will be conducted to determine whether <br /> atmospheric chemical conditions have changed from the initial air characterization. <br /> The Safety Officer will post the emergency phone numbers (phone numbers of the <br /> physicians, hospitals, ambulances, etc.) in a conspicuous area. The field team will <br /> 5-[ <br />
