FALL PROTECTION <br />The Site Safety Officer will verify that all Condor employees and its subcontractors are using appropriate <br />fall protection. The three major components of personal fall arrest protection are harness, lanyard, and <br />secure anchorage. OSHA requires that fall protection be used anytime someone is working over six feet <br />above the ground or the floor. MSHA requires that fall protection be used anytime a risk of falling exists. <br />TRIP AND SLIP PROTECTION <br />Good housekeeping shall be maintained at the site to prevent trip and slip hazards. <br />HEAT STRESS <br />Heat stress will be a hazard during hot weather and will be intensified when personnel are in protective <br />clothing (if necessary). To prevent heat stress, personnel will be required to take breaks as needed and to <br />consume adequate quantities of liquid. <br />SUN BURN <br />UV radiation is a hazard for outdoor workers. Unprotected exposure can damage the skin, eyes, and immune <br />system. Outdoor workers have more accumulated lifetime exposure to the sun, receive up to 8 times more <br />UV exposure, and have a 60 percent greater risk of developing skin cancer than indoor workers. Workers <br />should use sunscreen or sun block to reduce their exposure to UV radiation. Several applications may be <br />required during the course of the day to provide optimum protection. <br />BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS <br />STINGING INSECTS <br />Care should be exercised to avoid bees, yellow jackets, or other stinging or biting insects. <br />ANIMAL <br />High-topped boots should be worn when working in tall grass to protect against snakebite. <br />PLANT <br />Poison oak and poison ivy should be avoided when present on the site. If contact is made with poison oak <br />or poison ivy wash the contact area thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible after contact occurs. <br />CHEMICAL HAZARDS <br />INHALATION <br />Care should be exercised to avoid creating excess dust during sampling activities. Personnel will work up- <br />wind of sampling locations. Potable water will be used on site for dust control. Respirators will be worn in <br />the event that dust may be inhaled. <br />DERMAL CONTACT <br />Care should be exercised to prevent contact of soil with skin. Use of gloves and disposable clothing (if <br />necessary) will reduce skin contact with soil. <br />INGESTION <br />Eating and smoking will not be allowed within the exclusion zone.
