equipment will consist of submerging the equipment in a detergent solution bath and scrubbing it with dedicated brushes. The equipment will then be placed in a rinse bath and agitated. A second rinse bath should occur if needed. All drilling equipment such as augers and drilling rods should be thoroughly steam cleaned and rinsed. Nitrile outer gloves will be worn whenever handling samples, equipment, or any other potentially contaminated items. Skin exposed to direct contact with contaminants of concern will be immediately flushed with water. Work Zone Delineation A 15-foot exclusion zone will be delineated with caution cones as necessary to denote the work zone and area restricted to authorized project personnel. Traffic Control Traffic control is not anticipated to be required for this project. Adverse Weather The work area will be secured and all personnel will discontinue work at the location and withdraw from the work area in the event that adverse weather is encountered (e.g., heavy rain, lightning). Emergency Equipment A first aid kit and fire extinguisher will be located in the work vehicle in a location that is easily accessible and highly visible. The SSO will be responsible for knowing the location of and accessing the emergency equipment as needed. Hazard Assessment (jJ = Applies, or required item(s) available. = Not Applicable.) Hazard Assessment: Physical Hazards and Related Concerns Confined Space Entry (CSE). Confined space entry means the potentially hazardous entry into any space which, by design, has limited openings for entry and exit and unfavorable natural ventilation that could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants and is not intended for continuous employee occupancy. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to, storage tanks, compartments of ships, process vessels, pits, silos, vats, degreasers, reaction vessels, boilers, ventilation and exhaust ducts, sewers, tunnels, underground utility vaults, and pipelines. Other environments which must be treated as confined spaces include test pits, basements, garages, warehouses, and other indoor areas where mechanical (i.e., diesel, propane, gasoline or similarly powered) equipment must be operated for drilling or excavation purposes. Confined space entry should be allowed only when absolutely necessary. El Construction Hazards, Drill Rigs, Backhoes, etc. The use of drill rigs, backhoes, and other heavy equipment represent potentially serious construction hazards. Whenever such equipment is used, personnel in the vicinity should be limited to those who must be there to complete their assigned duties. All personnel must avoid standing within the turning radius of the equipment or below any suspended load. Job sites must be kept as clean, orderly, and sanitary as possible. When water is used, care must be taken to avoid creating muddy or slippery conditions. If slippery conditions are unavoidable, barriers and warning signs must be used to warn of these dangers. Never turn your back to operating machinery. Never wear loose clothing jewelry, hair, or other personal items around rotating equipment or other equipment that could catch or ensnare personal items. Always stand far enough away from operating machinery to prevent accidental contact, which may result from mechanical or human error. Additionally, the following basic personal protective measures must be observed: Hardhats must be worn to protect against bumps or falling objects. Safety glasses must be worn by all workers in the vicinity of drill rigs or other sources of flying objects. Goggles, face shields, or other forms of eye protection must be worn when necessary to protect against chemicals or other hazards. Steel-toed safety shoes or boots are also required. The shoes must be chemically resistant or protected with appropriately selected boots/coverings where Partner Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 5 Version 1.02 February 1,2018
