Page 15 of 23 Standard Operating Procedures <br />Health and Safety Plans <br />10.1 General <br />All field sampling will be performed under the level of personal protection described in Section <br />8.0 In this section, non -monitoring, safety-related procedures are described. <br />10.2 Site Walk -Through <br />Safety considerations during Site walk-through are important since this activity will precede all <br />other field operations. Staff will maintain line of sight with each other at all times. Air <br />monitoring will be performed as indicated in Section 9.0 and will be used to alert the walk- <br />through team if a dangerous situation exists. It will also assist in prescribing levels of protection <br />for future Site operations, designating Site layout and identifying areas of particular hazard, if <br />any. <br />10.3 Sampling <br />Personnel will wear prescribed clothing, e9pecially eye protection and chemical resistant gloves <br />when sampling. Sample bottles may be bagged prior to sampling to ease decontamination <br />procedures. The sampling team must be aware of emergency evacuation procedures described <br />in this HASP and the location of all emergency equipment, including spill containment materials, <br />prior to sampling. Contamination avoidance shall be practiced at all times. Personnel will <br />utilize the buddy system and maintain communications. In some situations, additional <br />monitoring by the SHSM may be needed to confirm or establish the proper level of protection <br />before the sampling team can proceed. <br />10.4 Sample Handling <br />Personnel responsible for the handling of samples shall wear the prescribed level of protection <br />described in Section 8.0. Samples shall be identified as to their hazard and packaged as to <br />prevent spillage or breakage. Any unusual sample conditions will be noted. Lab personnel shall <br />be advised of sample hazard levels and the potential contaminants present. This will be <br />accomplished by a phone call to the lab coordinator and/or inclusion of a written statement with <br />the samples. If necessary the SHSM will review safety procedures for handling Site samples <br />to assist or assure that these practices are appropriate for the type of suspected contaminants in <br />the sample. <br />ROUX ASSOCIATES HASP. 4/93 3425 Tracy Boulevard <br />Tracy, California <br />
