5,0 HAZARD ANALYSIS <br /> Potential chemical, physical and general safety hazards during landfill operations <br /> at the Site include the following: <br /> ® Chemical hazards <br /> o Respiratory (exposure to fugitive dust) <br /> o Dermal (contact with hazardous and waste materials) <br /> ® Physical hazards <br /> o Noise <br /> o Electric shock <br /> o Heavy equipment <br /> o Heat stress <br /> Work procedures to protect workers from chemical and physical hazards are <br /> discussed in Section 6.0. <br /> 5,1 CHEMICAL HAZRDS <br /> The potential chemical hazards are presented in Appendix HS-1. Inhalation <br /> exposures are the primary exposure pathway of concern. <br /> Descriptions of the chemicals including physical and odor recognition <br /> characteristics, effects of short-term exposure for use in the field, and the Time- <br /> Weighted Average over an eight-hour period for the permissible exposure limit <br /> (OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1000) are included. <br /> 5.2 PHYSICAL HAZARDS <br /> Potential physical hazards at the Site during planned activities stem from heavy <br /> machinery use and the hazardous nature of landfill operations. The potential for <br /> heat stress caused by the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and high <br /> mid-day temperatures have been minimized by specifying the use of lighter PPE <br /> in this HSP. The anticipated physical hazards at the Site are listed under Section <br /> 5,0. Work procedures to protect workers from chemical and physical hazards are <br /> discussed in Section 6.0. <br /> 8 <br /> 3/17/2011 <br />
