CONDOR EARTH SITE SPECIFIC HEALTH& SAFETY PLAN Condor Earth has adopted the following Health&Safety Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide health and safety precautions for the initial and subsequent site visits during work operations. All work will be done in general accordance with current OSHA regulations.A tailgate safety meeting will be held prior to commencement of work each day and a Health& Safety Plan will be discussed with and presented to all crewmembers for their signatures. This Health & Safety Plan is limited to provisions for safe work practices related to potential exposure to unknown contaminants,as well as machinery employed during drilling operations. GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES Access to the project site shall be limited by the exclusion zone. The exclusion zone shall include an area at least 20 feet from the drill rig or excavation and associated equipment. Personnel not directly involved with the project shall not be allowed in the exclusion zone, and appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn. All Condor personnel,subcontractors,and consultants shall adhere to the provisions of the Condor Site Safety Plan including all applicable elements of the Condor Illness and Injury Prevention Program(IIPP). All of the above personnel who participate in fieldwork at the site will attend a safety indoctrination provided by the Condor Site Safety Officer. The Condor Site Safety Plan is maintained with the work plan. Copies of the work plan and health and safety plan shall be available to all working units of Condor,its subcontractors, and consultants. SITE SAFETY OFFICER RESPONSIBILITIES The Site Safety Officer shall monitor all activities of equipment and personnel at the project site. Site Safety Officer responsibilities will include the following: 1. Limiting access to the exclusion zone to authorized personnel. 2. Providing a written log of on-site activities and events. 3. Notification of regulatory agencies during emergency procedures. 4. Enforcement of contaminant exposure site safety precautions. 5. Documenting all injuries and safety incidents. Should drilling or excavating in soils encounter soils containing organic vapors and/or liquid contaminants, all personnel shall undertake the following precautions: Ambient Air Monitoring/Respirator Requirements Benzene, a constituent of petroleum products, will be used as an indicator parameter for ambient air monitoring.Because benzene is a suspected carcinogen and,therefore,highly regulated,it will be useful as a conservative indicator parameter. The following discussion assumes that exposure to benzene is a possibility;thus, a safety measure for other potential air-borne contaminants is achieved. a. Breathing zone vapor at a concentration of 1.0 ppm or greater at the drilling or excavation area, as detected by PID, requires site personnel to use a respirator with organic vapor cartridges while working in the exclusion zone. As a reference,the OSHA-PEL for benzene is 1.0 ppm. b. Breathing zone vapor at a concentration of 1.0 ppm or greater requires the site manager to monitor the site perimeter(concentrating in the down wind direction). Page 3 of 10 �i� CONDOR
