Health and Safety Plan <br />Page 3 <br />2.0 RISK ANALYSIS <br />This section assesses the chemical and physical hazards that are known to <br />exist at the site and those that may be created by the remediation efforts. <br />Table 2 summarizes the hazards associated with each of these tasks. The <br />hazard analysis has been divided into three critical areas: <br />* Exposure: Expected frequency of exposure to a hazard; <br />* Probability: Likelihood of an injury upon exposure to a hazard; <br />* Consequence: Probable degree of injury of effect an injury will <br />have on the effectiveness of a team member. <br />An explanation of the letters denoting the degrees of exposure, and <br />consequence is provided at the end of the table. <br />Contaminants most likely to be encountered during field operations at the <br />site are the Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Metals listed on Table 1. A list <br />of the occupational exposure limits and signs and symptoms of exposure is <br />also listed in Table 1. <br />Most work required in this project may potentially expose personnel to <br />materials that may contain any or all of these contaminants. Any <br />personnel entering the site shall be informed of all hazards associated <br />with these contaminants. <br />The physical hazards expected to be present during site investigation <br />activities include: <br />* Saw Cutting <br />* Snapping Cables, Slings and Rope <br />* Drilling Equipment <br />* Moving Equipment <br />* Heavy EquipmEtnt <br />* Sharp Object; <br />* Loose Foundations <br />* Open Pits or Ditches <br />* Excessive No _se <br />
