Calibration will be performed in accordance with <br /> the manufacturer specifications and recorded in a log book kept with the instrument. Ambient breathing space <br /> measurements should be collected every 15 minutes. <br /> Personal Protection Equipment <br /> Based on the preliminary site information including evaluation of the hazards at the site and Partner's experience, <br /> personal protective equipment (PPE) will be required for all personnel and visitors entering the controlled portion <br /> of the site. PPE for each potential level of protection is described below. Both Level C and D PPE should be available <br /> on-site during all phases of the project, as conditions may change and require additional PPE. Work should be <br /> conducted in Level D and no breathing protection will be required as long as monitored breathing zone vapor <br /> concentrations remain in the nominal operation action level. <br /> If on-site personnel find that breathing zone concentrations remain above nominal operation action level for more <br /> than 5 minutes, then the SSO or PM will make a determination if breathing protection is needed. At this time, all <br /> work in the affected area should be suspended until a decision is made. Implementation of Level C PPE will be <br /> required if work continues during elevated breathing zone concentrations. Donning and use of respirators shall be <br /> performed in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Replacement of respirator cartridges shall be performed <br /> in accordance with manufacturer specifications. All respirators and cartridges shall be stored in air tight bags while <br /> not in use. <br /> Refer to the PPE Levels of Protection for a detailed description of the equipment associated for each level of PPE. <br /> Partner Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 5 <br /> Version 2.0 July 6,2021 <br />
