TASK-BY TASK RISK ASSESSMENT (Complete One Sheet for Each Task) TASK DESCRIPTION Task 2d — Surface water and sediment present at the site may include ponds, streams, sumps sampled with teflon dipper. Any decon waters generated will be placed in drums. Sampling is conducted with dipper and shovel. EQUIPMENT REQUIREDIUSED (Be specific,e.g.,hand tools:heavy equipment,instrumenna,PPE) See above. Additional items include use of hand tools for surface water/sediment sampling, monitoring with a OVM or HNU PID. PPE will include gloves (surgical and leather), cotton coveralls, steel toed boots, hard hat, eye protection w/side shield. POTENTIAL HAZARDS/RISKS - CHEMICAL ® Hazard Present Risk Level: 13 H ® M ❑ L What Justifies Risk Level? Surface water/sediment sampling pose the potential for contact with contaminated water. Monitoring with a PID will be conducted during sediment sampling by screening headspace in a jar or a bag containing a small amount of sediment. No monitoring is necessary for surface water sampling. Mod. Level D will be used unless PID readings indicate the need to elevate level of protection. Surgical/nitrile gloves and eye protection will be used to protect against contact. PHYSICAL ® Hazard Present Risk Level: ❑ H 0 M IN L What Justifies Risk Leve? Surface water and sediment sampling activities pose the potential for cuts, bruises, slip, trip, or fall and muscle or back strain. Personnel will have training for and implement safe work practices during sampling activities. Good housekeeping will be implemented to reduce risk of slip, trip and fall hazards. Caution will be used during any activities conducted along the shoreline or near water(slow flowing). BIOLOGICAL ® Hazard Present Risk Leve: ❑ H ❑ M ® L What Justifies Risk Level? Work location is within an area that is covered with some weeds and little debris in the area where animals, rodents or snakes could be present. Personnel will be cognizant of the work location and any potential presence of hazards. RADIOLOGICAL ❑ Hazard Present Risk Leve: ❑ H 11 M 13 L What Justifies Risk Level? None suspected. LEVELS OF PROTECTION/JUSTIFICATION Level D and Modified Level D with cotton coveralls, eye protection w/side shield, hard hat, steel toed boots, surgical gloves, leather gloves, and tyvek if operations become muddy or dusty. See discussions above for justification. SAFETY PROCEDURES REQUIRED ANO/OR FIELD OPS UTILIZED Daily safety briefing of procedures and safe work practices for operations.
