Site Safety and Health Plan ±19.41 Acres Vacant Land ■ Manteca, California 1 Terracon June 12, 2017 ■ Terracon Project No. NB177049 selection will be made by the Terracon Corporate Safety and Health Manager. Project personnel required to wear respiratory protection will be medically cleared for respirator use, trained and successfully fit tested in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134. Personnel required to wear respirators will demonstrate competence in donning/doffing and inspecting the equipment prior to job assignment. All project tasks requiring the use of supplied air respirators will require properly equipped backup personnel. At a minimum, air purifying respirator cartridges will be changed daily prior to use. More frequent change of respirator cartridges may be specified based on the results of site air monitoring. Under no circumstances will air purifying respirators be used in areas deficient in oxygen (<19.5%), in areas classified as immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) or in areas where contaminants have not been characterized. Respirators will be inspected and required fit checks will be performed prior to use, and any necessary repairs will be made before proceeding to the project site. Respirators will be sanitized daily after use. 6.0 SITE HISTORY/SCOPE OF SERVICES It is anticipated that soils and/or groundwater at this project site may be impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons and/or volatile organic compounds. The personal protective equipment and direct- reading air monitoring protocols specified below are designed to prevent personnel exposure to contamination in excess of permissible exposure limits. 6.1 Scope of Services Services to be conducted on this project site will excavation of soils impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons. Soils will either be stockpiled or loaded into dump trucks or roll-off containers for transport and appropriate disposal. 7.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT 7.1 Chemical Hazards Soils at this project site may be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. Benzene is the most significant health hazard contained in petroleum blends and typically comprises less than 1% of regular grade gasolines. Specific health hazard information on petroleum and its most volatile aromatic constituents are provided below. Additional health-hazard information can be found in the chemical information sheets attached to this Plan. GASOLINE Permissible Exposure Limit 300 ppm ACGIH TLV 6
