0 <br /> Project No. 034-17016 <br /> Site-Specific Health&Safety Plan <br /> Page No.28 <br /> 11.2 Fire and Explosion Hazards <br /> Fires are of particular concern during this investigation due to the possibility of encountering flammable <br /> petroleum hydrocarbon liquid or vapors. An adequate multi-purpose (A, B, Q fire extinguisher will be <br /> located onsite on the drill rig at all times. <br /> The local fire department will be notified by a Krazan representative of the location and anticipated activities <br /> to provide a more timely response in the event of an emergency. In the remote chance that a fire does occur, <br /> the local fire department will be notified immediately. Additional calls to the main office of Krazan & <br /> Associates will be made. The Project Director would then notify the client. <br /> 11.3 Operations Shutdown <br /> Under certain extremely hazardous situations the Task Leader,the Project Director,or the Task Safety Officer <br /> may request that field operations be temporarily suspended while the underlying hazard is corrected or <br /> controlled. <br /> During any sampling or angering activity, breathing zone PID measurements for hydrocarbons will be <br /> performed. If these levels exceed 50 ppmv,detector tubes will be used to further quantify the benzene vapors <br /> present. If the level of benzene is detected above 0.5 ppmv or PID readings are consistently in excess of 50 <br /> ppmv,work will stop until the readings decrease below 50 ppmV. If PID measurements above 1,400 ppmv <br /> occur in general areas or at the well head, a potential fire or explosion hazard may exist. Under these <br /> circumstances,activities will be stopped until these levels are brought down. This may be accomplished by <br /> containerizing contaminated soils or liquids of covering contaminated soil,foam,visquene, or clean soil to <br /> isolate the source. <br /> 11.4 Community Protection <br /> To assure the community is not affected by our investigation,upwind and downwind monitoring with the PID <br /> will be performed if the general work area hydrocarbon levels exceed 100 ppmv. If site downwind <br /> monitoring indicates persistent levels above 50 ppmv at the perimeter of the work area, work will be shut <br /> down until PID readings drop below 50 ppmv. Alternately,the exclusion zone may be expanded to provide <br /> additional community protection. <br /> KRAZAN&ASSOCIATES,INC. <br /> With Offices Serving the Western United States <br /> 03417016 SSI Lady p HASP Final.doc <br />
