3 Burn Hazards Hydrocarbon destruction equipment may have parts that reach temperatures up to 1100° F This is a severe burn hazard and all personnel shall exercise extreme caution and use only specified sampling apparatus when working with this equipment. Level D PPE will be adequate during most hydrocarbon destruction equipment sampling events However, this PPE does not provide protection against burns from extreme heat. Mechanical Equipment Hazards Maintenance of remediation systems requires work in close proximity of operating mechanical equipment (i e , rotating flywheels, etc ). Fingers, loose clothing or other items may become entangled and cause injury All personnel must take care to remove or otherwise safeguard all articles which may result in injury if caught up in equipment It may be necessary to de-energize equipment prior to performing maintenance to help ensure personal safety Traffic Work at sites may expose personnel to traffic hazards when working outside the equipment enclosures Appropriate personnel safety equipment shall be used as required due to work location and public traffic access This includes wearing high visibility orange vests and placing traffic cones as a warning Slip, Trip and Fall Operation and maintenance may take place around open well covers and in equipment enclosures. Piping, electrical conduit, equipment fixtures, and containment curbing may pose a tripping hazard All field personnel should be aware of all equipment and operations on site during O & M activities Wet or icy weather conditions may also pose slip and fall hazards. Personnel will wear appropriate footwear for the conditions and walk carefully Electrical Shock Hazards High voltage electrical power (? 110 volts) is required to operate the equipment at remediation sites and the conduit, control panels and various wiring may expose personnel to potential high voltage electrical shock All personnel shall be aware of potential hazards of the equipment they are servicing by consulting the appropriate manual before service. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHALL BE DISCONNECTED AND CONFIRMED AS DE-ENERGIZED BEFORE MAINTENANCE OF ANY ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY. Organic and Flammable Vapors Organic vapors may be present to certain wells and around remediation system enclosures If suspected their presence must be checked for using the OVM The Environmental Monitoring Plan is outlined on page 10 Flammable vapors may also be present in certain wells and around remediation system enclosures If suspected their presence must be checked for using a combustible gas indicator (LEL meter) which has been calibrated based on hexane 171[3?%4S1W 17N9SC,N0R7HARC0 QL4S PS410
