Noise <br /> This section will include a description of the hearing conservation <br /> program that will be employed at the work site. Note that heavy <br /> equipment, particularly drill rigs, has the potential to generate enough <br /> noise to exceed the PEL. <br /> Contractors must also be aware of local noise ordinances and be <br /> prepared, particularly if working in or near a residential area, <br /> to use engineering controls such as mufflers and temporary noise <br /> barriers to suppress noise. <br /> General <br /> Describe rationales, methodologies, equipment calibration procedures for <br /> each program, and locations for area and community monitoring. <br /> Include rationales for PPE action level determinations, which must take <br /> into account the potential for additive effects of chemical exposures. <br /> Depending on the geographic location of the site, area and com=ity <br /> monitoring of the site may not be applicable. If the operation requires <br /> a local air quality agency permit which outlines c=nu city air <br /> monitoring criteria, such as a SCAQMD Rule 1150 Permit, provide a copy <br /> of the permit as an appendix. <br /> The exposure monitoring plan is often the weakest part of the SSP, but <br /> it is essential for ensuring that site personnel, as well as the <br /> ==unity, are afforded the appropriate protection. Therefore, the <br /> evaluation of this part of the SSP by TSCD industrial hygienists is <br /> particularly thorough. <br /> 6. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Engineering Controls <br /> [pR (g) (3) and (5) ] <br /> [PR (g) (5) ] requires SSP's to have a written PPE program, and lists the <br /> requirements for such a program. This reference should be consulted <br /> when preparing this section of the SSP. Applicable portions of the <br /> firm's formal PPE Program may be included as an appendix- <br /> Protective Clothi7YX <br /> Discuss protective clothing selection. This waist be more specific than. <br /> "chemical resistant" coveralls, gloves, etc. , and must include rationale <br /> for selection. Each entire protective ensemble must be cMletely <br /> described, including type of material; si=ly inficating an EPA "Level <br /> of Protection" (Level A, B, C, or D) is not acceptable, butt first <br /> identifying and then later referring to a described ensemble as EPA <br /> level A, B, C, or D would be accep`Lle. <br /> Respirators <br /> For respirator selection, include odor threshold of gases and vapors, <br /> vapor pressure, warning properties, and P=+/TLU/R= of each hazardous <br /> constituent of primary concern, as well as action levels for upgrade or <br /> downgrade. Also include the make and model of the respirator, its <br /> - 10 - <br />
