Site Safety Plan: Subsurface investigation and Safety Plan Page 2 <br /> Remedial Excavation of Hydrocarbon-affected Soil <br /> Proposed Cintra Park Phase H Development, Tract 2705, Tracy, California <br /> 2.2 Site Personnel and Third Parties <br /> All CTE site personnel, subcontractors, and third part es entering the site will be responsible for <br /> understanding and complying with all SSP requiremen Ls. <br /> 3.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT <br /> 3.1 Major Potential Hazards <br /> Consistent efforts will be made throughout the project to evaluate the chemical and physical hazards <br /> described below. Major potential hazards to personal safety at the site include the following: <br /> 3.1.1 Physical in' during excavation site Testoration, system maintenance operations, <br /> The potential for accidents will be rc duced by personal protective equipment, <br /> engineering controls, and the exercise o reasonable caution during work activities. <br /> 3.1.2 Inhalation ingestion, or skin abso tion f toxic vapors, liquids, or dusts associated <br /> with petroleum hydrocarbons. Gasolin vapors in high concentrations (>300 parts <br /> per million [ppm]) can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, <br /> and anesthesia. Skin contact with liquid gasoline may result in irritation and <br /> dermatitis and absorption of specific toxic petroleum fractions. Toxic petroleum <br /> hydrocarbon substances include benzene, toluene, and xylenes. Benzene is a known <br /> human carcinogen, and along with tol ene and xylenes can cause damage to an <br /> unprotected individual's liver,kidneys, and central nervous system. Ethylbenzene is <br /> a skin irritant in vapor and liquid form. <br /> 3.1.3 Explosion and fire. Petroleum produc s are highly flammable. Liquid petroleum <br /> product readily vaporizes from standing pools or saturated soil. Ignition sources of <br /> any kind, such as engines, impact sparking, and heat or are from inappropriate equip- <br /> ment or instrumentation pose a major explosion and fire hazard. <br /> 3.1.4 Electrocution from buried or overhead nower lines. <br /> 3.1.5 Noise from the operation of hea e ui ment. <br /> 3.1.6 Heat Stress. Heat stress creates seco dary safety hazards by impairing worker <br /> coordination and judgment, besides posi ag serious direct health dangers. Heat stress <br /> is more likely when personal protective equipment is in use. <br /> W V Ro7ECTV 0235\ENRPO1.WPB <br />
