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