Nitrile gloves will be worn along with the latex outer glove during soil and water sampling to retard chemical migration to the skin. 3.3 SITE CONTROL MEASURES Site control measures are necessary to establish a work area, reduce the physical hazards, minimize the transfer of hazardous substances to and from the work area,and limit the access of un-authorized,untrained personnel. The following site control measures will be initiated on the job site: ■ The work area will be delineated by caution tape or other appropriate materials to create an exclusion zone. Only authorized personnel equipped with the proper protective equipment will be allowed into this zone. The size of the zone will be evaluated by the on-site health and safety officer based on his/her observations of the possible limits of the hazard. For example,the exclusion zone should be large enough to allow for drill rig mechanical malfunctions without injury to observer on the outside edge of the exclusion zone. ■ Uncontrolled migration of hazardous materials including soil and/or groundwater potentially containing hazardous materials is unacceptable. Soil and groundwater will be containerized in appropriate Department of Transportation(DOT)approved drums, bins or other approved containers. If necessary, a berm will be constructed to control the flow of potentially hazardous materials until they can be properly containerized. ■ Slip,trip and fall hazards will be minimized. The work area floor and ground will be kept free of excess material. If the ground or flooring is slippery,then measures to provide stable footing will be employed. ■ Consideration will be given to physical hazards such as being struck by, struck against,or being caught in,on or between site materials,structures,or machinery. Individuals will remain clear of moving machine parts unless their work requires them to be close to those parts. ■ Moving equipment or machinery will be required to have the necessary safety devices required by Cal- OSHA. ■ The ambient temperature will be monitored and the necessary controls implemented to reduce employee heat stress or chill. 3.4 ON-SITE HEALTH AND SAFETY BRIEFINGS Prior to the commencement of each day of field activities,job site personnel are required to attend a Site- Specific Health and Safety Meeting given by the Onsite Safety Coordinator.
