8. Safety Procedures This section of the HASP presents the specific safety procedures to be implemented during Roux's activities at the Site in order to protect the health and safety of various on-Site personnel. Minimum Cal/OSHA- mandated procedures are presented first, followed by client- and Site-specific procedures. Lastly, activity-specific procedures are discussed. These Site- and activity-specific procedures supplement the general safety procedures included in Roux's Corporate Health and Safety Manual, which also must be followed in its entirety. 8.1 Training At a minimum, Site personnel who will perform work in areas where there exists the potential for toxic exposure will be health and safety-trained prior to performing work on Site per Cal/OSHA T8 CCR, 5192(e). More specifically, all Roux, subcontractors, and other personnel engaged in sampling and remedial activities at the Site, and who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances, health hazards, or safety hazards must have received, at a minimum, the 40 hour initial HAZWOPER training pursuant to the requirements of Cal/OSHA T8 CCR, Section 5192(e)(3) training and a minimum of 3 days' actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor, plus 8 hours of refresher training on an annual basis. Depending on tasks performed, less training may be permitted. Furthermore, all on- Site management and supervisory personnel directly responsible for or who supervise the employees and/or sub-contractors engaged in Site remedial operations, must have received an additional 8 hours of specialized training at the time of job assignment on topics including, but not limited to, the employer's safety and health program and the associated employee training program, personal protective equipment program, spill containment program, and health hazard monitoring procedure and techniques, plus 8 hours of refresher training on an annual basis.
