Personnel onsite during site activities will be required to wear steel-toed boots, goggles or safety goggles, and a hard hat to protect against injury. During removal of tank contents, personnel directly participating in the activity or working in the area will be required to wear additional protective clothing. To prevent skin contact and inhalation of dust potentially containing petroleum hydrocarbons during this work, the personnel involved may also be required to wear Tyvek coveralls, nitrile gloves, and high efficiently particulate respirators. 5.0 HAZARDOUS WASTE SAFETY TRAINING AND MEDICAL MONITORING Any employee assigned to the project will have completed a 40-hour, OSHA /EPA Hazardous Waste Site investigation Health and Safety training course. Topics covered in the course include physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of hazardous materials; hazard evaluation and control; safe working practices; selection, care, and use of personal protective equipment (including fit testing); sampling and monitoring techniques and equipment; and site entrance and decontamination procedures. Supervisors will have completed an additional supervisor training course and all will have annual refresher training as needed. Tailgate safety meetings will be held where safe working practices, emergency procedures, personal protective equipment, and other items in this HSP will be discussed before work begins. At the meetings, employees and contractors will also be informed of the location of services and the nearest telephone for use in emergency situation. The meeting participants, items discussed, locations, and dates will be recorded in a field log. Each field employee performing work at the site will be responsible for complving with the procedures described in this HSP. The Project Manager will visit the site during the initial phase of the field investigation to perform a safery audit and evaluate lire effectiveness of the program. 6.0 DECONTAMINATION AND MATERIAL DISPOSAL Drilling equipment will be decontaminated by steam cleaning or high pressure hot water wash. Sampling equipment will be decontaminated by steam cleaning, high pressure hot water wash, or washed with a phosphate free detergent solution. Neoprene gloves and Saranax suits or rain suits will be worn when using high pressure hot water wash equipment where contaminated fluid splash hazard exists. Nondisposable personal protective equipment will be decontaminated by laundering (coveralls); soap wash, water rinse, and sterilent wipe (respirators), or steam cleaning (boots and goggles). Coveralls will be laundered by a commercial laundry service that has been informed of the potential hazard. An employee decontamination area will be designated. Disposable clothing will be bagged and stored on site. After the level of potential contamination is determined by analyzing soil and groundwater samples collected on site, the clothing will be disposed in an appropriate manner. Materials derived from drilling and sampling will be stored in 55-gallon drums and stored onsite. Appropriate disposal procedures for these materials will be determined after the results of chemical analyses of samples have been received. All hazardous waste materials will be disposed of in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. 3
