Should respiratory irritation occur, appropriate air-purifying respiratory protective devices will be worn, with organic vapor cartridges and dust pre-filters, or with high efficiency organic va or/HEPA stack-type cartridge. Typically, the cartridge will require replacement daily. B. Physical Hazards Existing utilities on the site must be avoided in the process'of normal site work. Overhead power lines which may be located throughout the site present'"a potential for electrical contact. All overhead lines located in the work area will be noted prior to starting work. A minimum distance of 10 feet from power lines will be maintained at all times. Underground utilities may also be encountered during drilling activities. Efforts will be made to locate such utilities, and to prevent contact during the drilling. There is a small risk of hazards based upon the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the specific compounds encountered on the project site. As the majority of the petroleum fuel hydrocarbon materials have low flash points, it is important to measure the presence of the concentrations or amounts of vapor present.. This will be accomplished using organic vapor detection instruments and/or indicator tubes. A potential for elevated noise exposure exists when operating or working around heavy equipment. The use of hearing protection such as ear plugs and/or ear muffs will be required, as necessary. Vehicular traffic presents another potential physical hazard. Measures will be taken to control traffic, including the use of traffic cones, caution tape and barricades. Additionally there.is a potential for physical hazards resulting from falling objects such as tools or equipment, from falls from elevations, or from tripping over pipes, tools hoses, and other equipment laying on the ground. Improper use and/or maintenance of equipment and tools is another potential source of physical hazards on site. These sorts of physical hazards must be .avoided through proper site management and control of the work area by Project Safety Officer. 9110081A/SSP 5 December 22. 1997 tl
