Sharp Objects <br /> Nails,wires, saws, and cutting equipment pose potential hazards such as cuts and punctures during site <br /> work. Only appropriate work tools are to be used Personnel are required to exercise caution, and <br /> should wear leather work gloves when handling or operating cutting tools, saws, and other sharp <br /> objects. A consistent housekeeping effort at the site will also help to reduce hazards from sharp <br /> objects. <br /> 6.2 CHEMICAL HAZARDS AND CONTROLS <br /> Chemical Characteristics <br /> Hazardous chemicals that may be encountered at this site include gasoline, diesel, stove oil, hydraulic <br /> oil hydrocarbons. These chemicals may be volatile, flammable, moderately to extremely toxic, or <br /> carcinogenic when inhaled, ingested, or absorbed above certain concentrations. See <br /> ATTACHMENT B for specific exposure limits and basic toxicology information. <br /> Personnel will use engineering controls and PPE (based on hazard assessment) to prevent chemical <br /> exposure. <br /> Sample Collection <br /> Workers who must come in direct contact with known or suspected contaminated soil or groundwater <br /> to collect samples are required to wear protective gloves and other PPE, as needed, to reduce the <br /> potential for exposure. Safety glasses will be worn to avoid potential splashing of chemicals into the <br /> eyes. <br /> Soil Cuttings Decontamination Water, and Dust <br /> As with sample collection, precautions are to be followed for handling materials such as soil cuttings <br /> and cleaning/decontamination water. Exposure and potential inhalation of dust(nuisance, silica)will be <br /> minimized by wearing dust masks or other appropriate PPE/respiratory protection. <br /> Disposition of Materials <br /> Excavated soil will be stockpiled and covered, or stored in closed drums or roll-off bins. Purged water <br /> will be stored in closed drums or tanks. Drums, tanks, and/or roll-off bins containing soil or water will <br /> be labeled in accordance with the hazard communication standard and removed from the site in <br /> accordance with client-approved protocol. <br /> 7 <br />
