sb <br /> 2.4.9 Lightning/Electrical Storms <br /> Lightning can be unpredictable and may strike many miles in front of, or behind, a <br /> thunderstorm. Workers will therefore cease field operations at the first sign of a <br /> thunderstorm and suspend activities until at least 30 minutes after the last observed <br /> occurrence of lightning or thunder. For purposes of this HSP, signs of a thunderstorm <br /> will include any visible lightning or audible thunder. In the event of a thunderstorm, <br /> onsite personnel will take the following actions: <br /> -l. Get inside a permanent building structure (not a shed or canopy) or fully <br /> enclosed metal vehicle (not a convertible or camper shell) with the windows <br /> fully up. <br /> 4- Stay away from tall isolated objects, such as trees, drill rigs, telephone poles, or <br /> Flag poles. <br /> -4- Avoid large open areas, such as fields or parking lots, where a person is the <br /> relatively highest object. <br /> 4- Stay away from lakes, ponds, railroad tracks, fences, and other objects that <br /> could transmit current from a distant lightning strike. <br /> 2.4.10 Materials and EQuipment Handling <br /> The movement and handling of eQuipment and materials on the Site pose a risk to <br /> workers in the form of muscle strains and minor injuries. These injuries can be avoided <br /> by using safe handling practices, proper lifting techniQues, and proper personal safety <br /> eQuipment such as steel-toed boots and sturdy work gloves. Where practical, <br /> mechanical devices will be utilized to assist in the movement of eQuipment and <br /> materials. Workers will not attempt to move heavy objects by themselves without using <br /> appropriate mechanical aids such as drum dollies or hydraulic lift gates. <br /> 2.5 Radiological Hazards <br /> Although radioactive materials may have been recovered from previously remediated sites, [i.e., <br /> landfills and burn dumps], they are not expected at this former tire facility. Therefore no <br /> monitoring for radiological hazards will be conducted at the TTFS. <br /> Sb Environmental Services,LLC© October,2003 California Integrated Waste Management Board <br /> Site Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 26 of 62 Tracy Tire Fire Remediation Project <br />
