Project No. 034-17016 Site-Specific Health& Safety Plan Page No.24 personnel will include those who have duties requiring their presence in the work zone, have received appropriate health and safety training,and whose background medical records may be obtained to verify that the health of that individual is not at extreme risk by his/her presence. 7.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES The initial drilling and sampling activities will be conducted at areas where petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils,sludges,liquids and/or vapors are anticipated. Due to the volatile nature of the petroleum hydrocarbons that may be encountered during the initial drilling and sampling operations,decontamination of equipment and vehicles will be of minimal importance since the volatile hydrocarbons will rapidly vaporize. However,contaminated sampling equipment and any obvious contaminant accumulations will not leave the project site. Field team members will also abide by the following guidelines to ensure that contaminants will not remain in contact with their body. • Personnel involved in the field portion of this investigation will be instructed to wash their hands, face,neck,and arms at the end of the work day. Krazan will assure the presence of soap,water and towels at the drilling site for this purpose. Crews will be instructed to shower at their home or lodge at the end of the workday. • No eating, drinking, smoking,or chewing of gum or tobacco will be permitted in the work zone. During this investigation,the nature of materials handled and the extent of contamination may require formal decontamination procedures and delineated work/clean zones. At the discretion of the Task Leader, the following work zones and decontamination procedures will be used to minimize the transfer of hazardous substances from the site so as to protect the environment and public health. 7.1 Work Zones The field team shall prevent the uncontrolled movement of waste materials or hazardous substances from the drilling site. The team will prevent migration of site contaminants by using the following work zones and equipment/personnel decontamination procedures. Exclusion Zone: A circle around any given borehole will be defined before drilling starts. In most cases,the zone will be"roped off'with an applicable barricade tape. This designated area will constitute the"Exclusion Zone." This zone is where potentially hazardous surface contaminants as a result of our investigation and physical hazards to the workers will be contained. Personal protection equipment will be required in this area according to the discretion of the Task Leader and/or in accordance with the guidelines contained in this plan. The size of the Exclusion Zone may be changed to accommodate site conditions and to ensure contaminant KRAZAN&ASSOCIATES,INC.
