SITE SAFETY PLAN INTRODUCTION: A Site Safety Plan (SSP) has been designed to address safety provisions during the Overexcavation Project. It's purpose is to establish procedures to protect all on site personnel from direct skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion of potentially hazardous materials that may be encountered at the site. The SSP establishes personnel responsibilities, personal protective equipment standards, decontamination procedures, an emergency action plans. EnviroSearch seeks to enter the property of 248 Kettleman Lane, California for the purpose of overexcavation of former underground storage tank. This SSP describes means for protection all on-site personnel from deleterious contamination or personal injury while conducting on-site activities. As described below, we will strive to meet all requirements promulgated by the California Department of Health Services. RESPONSIBILITIES OF KEY PERSONNEL: All personnel on-site will have assigned responsibilities. Mark W. Roser will serve as Project Manager. He will also serve as Site Safety officer (SSO). As SSO, Mark W. Roser will assure that all on-site personnel have received a copy of the SSP. All personnel will be required to document their full understanding of the SSP before admission to the site. Compliance with the SSP will be monitored at all times by the SSO. Appropriate personal protective equipment, listed below, will be available and utilized by all on-site personnel. Prior to beginning work, the SSO will conduct a training session to assure that all are aware of safe work practices. In the training session, personnel will be made aware of hazards at the site, and will utilize Material Safety Data Sheets for information on compounds to be encountered. Mark W. Roser will also be responsible for keeping field notes, collection and securing samples, and assuring sample integrity by adherence to Chain-of-Custody protocol. All on-site employees will take reasonable precautions to avoid unforeseen hazards. After documenting full understanding of the SSP, each on-site employee will be responsible for strict adherence to all points contained herein. Any deviation observed will be reported to the SSO and corrected. On-site employees are held responsible to perform only those tasks for which they believe they are qualified. Provisions of the SSP are mandatory and all personnel associated with on-site activities will adhere strictly hereto. JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS: Hazards likely to be encountered on-site include those commonly encountered when operating any mechanical equipment, such as the danger of falling object or moving machinery. Simple precautions will reduce or eliminate risks associated with operating such equipment. All precautions will be taken to assure a smooth flow of traffic in and out of the location. Qualified personnel only ill have any contact with this equipment. All on- site personnel are required to wear hard hats when in close proximity to lifting equipment. Latex sampling gloves will be worn by persons collecting or handling samples to prevent exposure to contaminants. Gloves will be changed between samples, and used ones discarded, to avoid cross contamination. Proper respiratory equipment will be worn if vapor contamination levels on-site exceed action levels as determined using P.I.D.. Furthermore, no on-site smoking, open flame, or sparks will be permitted to prevent accidental ignition.
