12. Do not approach or enter an area where oxygen deficiency or toxic or explosive concentrations of airborne contaminants may exist without the proper personal protective equipment and appropriate support personnel. 13. Use respirators correctly and as required for the site; check the fit of the respirator with a negative or positive pressure test; do not wear respirator with facial hair or other conditions that prevent a face-to-facepiece seal; do not wear contact tenses when the use of a respirator is required. DECONTAMINATION Decontamination will take place in the decontamination area identified on site. A decontamination station will be set up including at least two 5-gallon buckets: one filled with a clean water and soap mixture and the other with clean deionized water. All workers, PPE, sampling equipment, and heavy equipment leaving the exclusion area will be decontaminated to prevent the spread of hazardous materials. All workers will wash their hands, arms and face after removing PPE and prior to leaving the site. Disposable items will be bagged for disposal along with other hazardous wastes removed from property. Support vehicles are to be left outside the exclusion area so that decontamination will not be necessary. All heavy equipment will be steam cleaned prior to removal from the site. There are no special emergency decontamination procedures anticipated for this project. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of an emergency on site, the SSO will direct the course of action. It may be necessary for the SSO to depend on the other on-site personnel for assistance. The SSO will call for emergency assistance if needed. As soon as practical, the SSO will contact the PM and the HSO. All staff assigned to this project will be briefed on the emergency procedures and their responsibilities for implementation. A map showing the location and route to the hospital is included as Figure B. The hospital can be reached by traveling north on Tracy Boulevard for approximately two miles from the site. The SSO is trained in first aid and CPR. A first aid kit and fire extinguisher will be located in the support vehicle. The emergency shut-off switch for the drill rig will be identified, and during the site safety briefing all field personnel working in the area will be informed of its location and function. The nearest telephone is located in the support vehicle. The emergency telephone numbers to be used to call for assistance are listed in the section on Key Personnel and Responsibilities with the reference list of project contacts. 11 01/31/9TE MM209=092-MSW-GPC DOC
