decontamination, respirators, if used, are not to be removed before <br /> leaving the contaminated area. <br /> Water, soap, and paper towels will be available for cleaning of hands and <br /> face before breaks, eating, drinking, or smoking. On-site toilet facilities <br /> will also be available. <br /> General Safety Rules <br /> In addition to the specific requirements of this site-specific HSP, common <br /> sense should prevail at all times. The following general safety rules and <br /> practices will be in effect at the site. <br /> • The site will be suitably marked or barricaded as necessary to prevent <br /> unauthorized visitors, but will not hinder emergency services, if <br /> needed. <br /> • All open holes, excavations, trenches, and obstacles will be properly <br /> barricaded in accordance with local site needs. These needs will be <br /> determined by proximity to traffic ways, both pedestrian and <br /> vehicular, and site of the hole, trench, or obstacle. If holes and <br /> excavations are required to be left open during nonworking hours, <br /> they will be adequately decked over or barricaded and sufficiently <br /> lighted. <br /> • Prior to conducting any digging or boring operations, underground <br /> utility locations will be identified. The site representative and local <br /> utility authorities (or Underground Alert) will be contacted to provide <br /> locations of underground utility lines and product piping. All boring, <br /> excavation, and other site work will be planned and performed with <br /> consideration for underground lines. <br /> • Dust suppression shall be utilized during all earth moving activities. <br /> A light water mist will be necessary and required during excavation <br /> activities to keep dust migration to an absolute minimum. <br /> • No excavation activities will be allowed on excessively windy days. <br /> For purposes of this HSP, excessive wind will be defined as wind with <br /> sufficient velocity to render dust suppression techniques at the site <br /> inadequate. This determination will be made by visual observations <br /> by the designated HSO present at the site. If dust is observed blowing <br /> from the work area offsite, work activities will cease. Personnel should <br /> keep themselves upwind from impacted areas during windy days. <br /> 6-2 <br />
