3: Hazard Analysis Health and Safety Plan <br />3.2 Hazard Communication <br />In accordance with the Hazard Communication standard, material safety data sheets (MSDSs) will <br />be maintained on site for chemical products used by BC personnel at the Site (i.e., spray paint, PVC <br />cement, etc.). Subcontractors will be responsible for maintaining MSDSs for chemical products they <br />bring on Site. In addition, containers will be clearly labeled in English to indicate their contents and <br />appropriate hazard warnings. <br />3.3 Opening Wells and Well Vaults <br />Direct-reading instrumentation specified in Section 5 will be used to monitor any work in a well <br />vault at the site where VOCs are a concern. The well vault will be opened carefully with the BC <br />employee staying upwind as much as possible and then left open for a minimum of three minutes to <br />allow the vault to vent. If the well cap is then removed, allow another three minutes for the well <br />head to vent before proceeding. Personnel should stay upwind as much as possible while working <br />in and around the vault. <br />When removing a well cap, personnel will remain upwind as much as possible and will carefully <br />remove the cap by opening it away from them in order to minimize the likelihood of exposure to <br />vapors. Personnel will wait a minimum of three minutes to allow the well to vent before <br />proceeding. <br />3.4 Physical Hazards <br />The following physical hazards have been identified and may be encountered during scheduled field <br />activities. <br />El Slips, Trips and Falls <br />El Heavy Equipment <br />El Excavations <br />Z Noise z Overhead Utilities z Electrical Equipment El Confined Spaces <br />El Sunburn n Cold Stress <br />Z Sharp Objects/Cutting <br />Elevated Platforms <br />Z Traffic <br />El Housekeeping z Materials and Equipment Handling - Lifting z Drilling z Underground Utilities z Equipment Refueling <br />Lockout/Tagout Z Fire Z Heat Stress El Lightning/Electrical Storms Z Cutting Acetate Sleeves <br />1:1 Ladder Use z Driving <br />Actions to be taken to protect against the hazards identified are provided in the sections below. <br />3-5
