• Proper lockout/tagout procedures must be employed to prevent injury. <br /> Electrical circuits require special attention. <br /> • Significant amounts of decontamination work must be in restricted work areas <br /> and from ladders, etc. Slips, trips and falls cause serious injury and good <br /> housekeeping is very important. <br /> • Heat stress is a hazard, especially where PPE is required. Use work-rest <br /> regimens and maintain hydration. <br /> Other Requirements <br /> All decontamination operations that involve confined spaces, supplied air, etc., also <br /> require the task specific training. <br /> 7.4 Sampling Activities Safety Guidelines <br /> Hazards/Controls <br /> • When opening drums, check first for pressure. Loosen the retaining ring part- <br /> way and lift lid gently. After insuring that no residual pressure is present, <br /> finish removing retaining ring. <br /> • The need for sampling is often the result of "lack of knowledge" of the <br /> material, implying a somewhat unknown situation. PPE requirements and <br /> handling procedures must address this. <br /> • Some sampling activities require use of special sampling equipment. Persons <br /> using this equipment should be trained prior to performing sampling. <br /> • There is a concern of punctures and cuts. Special protective equipment will <br /> be required. <br /> • Heat stress is a hazard, especially where PPE is required. Use work-rest <br /> regimens and maintain hydration. <br /> 8.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) <br /> Based on information gathered during the review of property records and historical research, <br /> the appropriate starting level of PPE for this project is Level D. <br /> 8.1 Level D Protection <br /> The minimum ensemble (Level D) for work zone and decontamination work is as <br /> follows: <br /> CRC Environmental Risk Management,Inc.
