Health and Safety Plan 705 Carlton Avenue, Stockton, CA EFI Global Project No. 9836003958 13.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES The decontamination section oft he HASP [in co mpliance with 29 CFR 1910 .120(b)(4)(ii)(G) and 1910.120(k)] describes how personnel and equipm ent are decontaminated when they leave the Exclusion Zone. This section also describes how residual was te from decontamination processes is properly disposed of. The level of exposure to contamination is expected to be low for this project. Decontamination of perso nnel and equipment will be done on-sit e within the CRZ, which was discussed in Section 9.2. Personnel leaving the work area will wash their hands and rem ove all PPE before leaving the site. At a minimum, washing of the face and hands with soap and water is required for skin decontamination. To prevent ingestion, workers will wash their face and hands with soap and water before eating as well as at the end of each shift. All equip ment, tools, and supplies that have been inside the w ork area or i n contact wit h conta minated materials will be decontaminated by one of two methods. The first method, which will be used for large equipment such as hollow-stem augers, will involve cleaning with a high-pressure steam cleaner or dustoff with hand tools. In this case, the equipment will be pl aced into a portable decontamination trailer so that the waste water can be collected and containerized pending off-site transportation and disposal, or the equipment will be visually inspected and fugitive materials (e.x. soil, debris, mud) will be brushed off using tools such as brushes, broom s, or rakes. If rum ble plates are present, all equipm ent will be transported over rumble plates prior to egress from the Site to further remove fugitive materials. The second method will be used to decontaminate smaller tools and equipment, such as sampling devices. This equipment will be cleaned with a soft-bristle d brush usi ng a phosphat e-free detergent solution. The equipment will then be rinsed in clean tap water, rinsed in distilled water, and placed on a clean surface to air dry. Waste water will be tern porarily containerized in DOT -approved, 55-gallon steel drums or equivalent until proper legal disposal can be accomplished following analytical profiling of the waste. 14.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE This section presents protocols for emergency planning and response activities. 14.1 PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING A daily Health and Safety (or "Tailgate") meeting will be conducted by the Site Health and Safety Officer. The topics discussed and the names of personnel in attendance will be recorded on a form designed for this purpose. All site personnel will be instructed as to the sit e topography, lay out and points of ingress or egress. Weather and wind directions will be noted daily to identify safe routes of evacuation in case of an emergency. The locations of comm unications equipment such as cellular phones and radios will be not ed. Specific hazards or condit ions that m ay affect the H ealth and Safety of wor kers, and the procedures for mitigating personnel exposure will be reviewed and discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on any changes in site characteristics or procedures that are a result of project activities. 14.2 PPE AND EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT At a minimum, the following equipment shall be at the work site and available for use: Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher (A-B-C Rated); First Aid Kits; EFI Globale EngIneenns.
