Ingestion: DO NOT EDUCE VOMITING; call a phyrlcian immediately. <br /> Oxygen Deficiency: Move out of oxygen deficient area into fresh air. <br /> Call physician. IMMEDIATELY and induce resuscitation if breathing <br /> has stopped. <br /> The field team will be instructed to seek immediate professional <br /> medical attention for all serious injuries . A first aid kit will be <br /> present at the work site in case of minor injuries . If anyone <br /> receives a splash or particle in the eye the field team will be <br /> instructed to irrigate the eye for 15 minutes . Instruction will also <br /> be provided to wash any skin areas with soap and water if direct <br /> contact with contaminates has occurred. <br /> Fire and Explosion Hazards <br /> Fires on site are of particular concern during soil drilling and <br /> sampling activities during the possibility of encountering flammable <br /> Petroleum hydrocarbon liquids or vapors . During these activities the <br /> site safety officer will be present and equipped with an explosive <br /> vapor monitor for area monitoring and a multipurpose (A, B, C, ) fire <br /> extinguisher. <br /> Flammable materials will be cleared from <br /> rior t ' <br /> o <br /> start of work. If a fire dose occur,awatherlocal efire edept. willthe be <br /> contacted immediately. <br /> Operation shutdown <br /> z <br /> Under extreme circumstances the on-site supervisor, safety officer, <br /> or project manager may request that operations by temporarily <br /> suspended while the underlying hazard is corrected or controlled. If ` <br /> vapor measurements with the explosive vapor monitor show levels <br /> approaching explosive limits, operations will be stopped while the <br /> area is controlled. During this activity, all personnel will be # <br /> required to stand up wind to prevent exposure to fugitive vapor <br /> emissions . The safety officer will have ultimate authority for <br /> operation shutdown. <br /> 1 <br /> :Community Protection <br /> To assure the community is protected from health and fire hazards, up <br /> wind and down wind vapor monitoring will be performed if the general <br /> work area has hydrocarbon levels exceeding 100 ppmv. If down wind <br /> -monitoring indicates persistent levels of 30 ppmv at the perimeter of <br /> the work area, work will: be shutdown and vapor control efforts will <br /> be instituted until measurements indicate levels have dropped below <br /> 30 ppmv. An : alternative approach of expanding the taped off area <br /> zone may be used to provide additional community protection. <br /> SSP-10 <br />
