Personnel who have not attended a tailgate safety meeting on that day will be required to do so with the SHSS or other authorized representative. Personnel unfamiliar with the site will be informed of site hazards and instructed to avoid contact with contaminated surfaces, soils, sample materials, or related equipment, and will be instructed to remain a minimum of 50 feet (15.3 m) upwind of all active work areas. • All personnel will adhere to the decontamination procedures outlined in this SHSP. • Removal of materials from protective clothing or equipment by blowing, shaking, or any other means that may disperse contaminated materials into the air is prohibited. • Legible precautionary labels will be affixed to containers of raw materials, intermediate products, mixtures, waste debris, and contaminated PPE. • Contaminated PPE will not be removed from the site until it has been cleaned or properly packaged and labeled. • Hands will be thoroughly washed upon leaving contaminated or suspected contaminated areas before eating, drinking, or other such activity. • All hazardous wastes, soil samples, and other contaminated materials, which are removed from the site, will be accompanied by appropriate shipping papers. • No running or horseplay. • Medicine and alcohol can worsen the effects from exposure to toxic chemicals. Prescribed drugs will not be taken by personnel on operations where the potential for absorption, inhalation, or ingestion of toxic substances exists, unless specifically approved by a qualified physician. Alcoholic beverage intake will not be allowed during breaks. • Safety devices on equipment must be left intact and used as designed. • Equipment and tools will be kept clean and in good repair, and used only for their intended purpose. • Respiratory devices may not be worn with beards or long sideburns, or under other conditions that prevent a proper seal. • Accidents and/or injuries associated with work at the site will be immediately reported to the SHSS.
