f , concentrations or amounts of vapor present. This will be accomplished using organic vapor detection instruments and/or indicator tubes. A potential for elevated noise exposure exists when operating or working around heavy equipment. The use of hearing protection such as ear plugs and/or ear muffs will be required, as necessary. i Vehicular traffic presents another potential phys cal hazard. Measures will be taken to control traffic, including the use of traffic cones, caution tape and barricades. Additionally there is a potential for physical hazards resulting from falling objects such as tools or equipment, from falls from elevations, or from tripping over pipes, tools, hoses, and other equipment laying on the ground. Improper use and/or maintenance of equipment and tools is another potential source of physical hazards on site. These sorts of physical hazards must be avoided through proper site management and control of the work area by the Project Safety Officer. i 4.0 RISK ASSESSMENT SUMMARY It is anticipated that there will be no significant or Major potential source of exposures due to the scope of work to be followed on this project The potential of any increased risk of exposure on other workers or the surrounding community is minimal. The basic potential exposure would probably originate from airborne dusts, during the drilling of the monitoring wells, and those dusts containing low level concent ations of VOC materials in the soils. Due to this potential, the Contractor will have equipment on-site to provide for dust control during the drilling activities, if it appears that dust control is warranted. Also, perimeter air monitoring, to detect potentially migrating containinants, may be conducted to ensure no hazardous materials are migrating to the surroundi g community. I 5 i i i
