1.0 INTRODUCTION This Health and Safety Plan (HASP) presents health and safety requirements and guidelines for performance of an event at a temporary household hazardous waste collection facility as defined in regulation (THHWCF). It is in compliance with applicable sections of 29 CFR §1910.120 and CCR, Title 8, 5192 and was prepared for exclusive use by employees of PSC and its subcontractors. This Health and Safety Plan (HASP) shall not be used for work other than that described herein; nor shall it be modified or used after the expiration date without written approval by the Project Manager (PM) and the Site Safety Officer (SSO). In addition, firms or persons not under contract shall not use this HASP with PSC without written approval by PSC's Health and Safety Manager (HSM). This HASP is not valid unless it is signed and dated by the PM and the SSO. The goal of a household hazardous waste collection program is to properly and safely package, transport and dispose of hazardous materials brought to the collection facility. These hazardous materials may include cleaning compounds, solutions, solvents, paints and paint related substances, cosmetics, oil, hydraulic fluid, old car batteries, pesticides, herbicides, medicines and many other types of substances. These substances may be potentially harmful and pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. All work activities will be done in such a manner as to minimize or eliminate the potential for human exposure or environmental release of any and all collected materials. This health and safety plan identifies certain work procedures and equipment that are used during the household hazardous waste collection events. This plan is extremely flexible and may be changed or modified to accommodate any special circumstances. PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAM Part of the site health and safety plan includes the public information program for all components of the program to include households, and CESQGs. Information conveyed through a multi -media campaign will: => clearly describe what materials will be accepted at the collection site => stipulate that materials delivered to the collection site should, ideally, be in secure, labeled containers and encourage participants who choose to deliver waste to wrap and/or contain materials properly before transporting them to the collection facility. => make known that participants that deliver waste are strictly limited to homeowners bringing household waste from their own home for the HHW Collection Event. => stipulate that small children and pets should not be brought to the collection site.
