11 <br />25 September 2012 <br />AGE Project No. 12-2193 <br />Page 3 of 15 <br />combination with an auxiliary self-contained positive -pressure breathing <br />apparatus <br />Escape: (APF = 50) Any air -purifying, full -face piece respirator (gas mask) with a <br />chin -style, front- or back -mounted organic vapor canister/Any appropriate <br />escape -type, self-contained breathing apparatus <br />EXPOSURE ROUTES: <br />Inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact <br />SYMPTOMS: <br />Irritation eyes, skin, mucous membrane; dermatitis; headache, lassitude (weakness, <br />exhaustion), blurred vision, dizziness, slurred speech, confusion, convulsions; chemical <br />pneumonitis (aspiration liquid); possible liver, kidney damage; potential occupational <br />carcinogen. <br />TARGET ORGANS: <br />Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, liver, kidneys <br />CANCER SITE: <br />In animals - liver & kidney cancer. <br />The facility is an active hospital facility. However, the area around the work project is used <br />primarily for deliveries. Vehicles will be restricted from using the driveway during work <br />periods. <br />The additional potential hazards include: Slip -trip -fall hazards, noise, hand tools, grouting, <br />traffic hazards, etc. <br />4.3. HEAT -RELATED CONDITIONS <br />Heat Stress <br />Heat stress is a major hazard, especially for workers wearing excessive protective clothing. <br />The same protective materials that shield the body from chemical exposure also limit the <br />dissipation of body heat and moisture. Personal protective clothing can therefore create <br />a hazardous condition. Working will be conducted during daytime temperatures may cause <br />minor heat aggravation, however, no heat stress is anticipated. <br />Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. <br />
