1. Distraction, annoyance,or sudden surprise 2. Inability to effectively communicate with co-workers 3. Physical damage expressed initially as a Temporary Threshold Shift(TTS) and then, as a Permanent Threshold Shift (PTS), or immediately as a Permanent Threshold Shift if the impact noise is sufficient enough(usually greater than 100 dBA) Appropriate hearing protection must be utilized in areas of unacceptable noise levels. If, based on the hazard analysis (Table 4), biological hazards exist associated with tasks to be performed and site location(e.g.,allergic reactions to poisonous plants or insects indigenous to the area, etc.); hazard mitigators(Appendix D)must be implemented. 5.0 PERSONAL PROTECTION 5.1 Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) The levels of personal protection required for each task are provided in Appendix E.Required equipment and types of protective clothing materials are listed. This PPE is based on the hazards identified in Section 4. Required equipment and types of protective clothing materials are listed, as well as an indication of the initial level of protection. Is there potential for a respirator to be donned during fieldwork? ❑ Yes ® No It is not anticipated that the use of respirators will be needed, however during the drilling work and sampling the area will be monitored via gas meter. If there is an indication that a respirator is required work will be halted until tasks have ben re-evaluated and the HASP has been updated as needed. The general use of PPE is acceptable when engineering controls cannot adequately eliminate the hazard. The use of PPE is intended to provide protection for on-site personnel from chemical, physical, and operational hazards that cannot be controlled through other safety procedures. Initially, Level D Protection will be employed by on-site personnel and will include varying levels of eye,head,body,hand, foot, and hearing protection. Respiratory protection will not be required. However, if respirators are worn, workers must adhere to the company's Respiratory Protection Program (29 CFR §1910.134). Table 2 should be used to provide a record of the site workers' last fit test. Beards (i.e., facial hair interfering with the respirator seal)are not allowed. Acceptable PPE are further described below. 15
