Health and Safety Plan <br />Page 11 <br />* Ear plugs or ear muffs <br />* Nitrile gloves <br />* Safety glasses <br />* Full face respirator with high efficiency organic vapor <br />cartridges with dust filter <br />5.2 Maintenance and In -Use Inspection of Protective Equipment <br />Effective use of protective equipment requires that the equipment be <br />properly used, maintained, and inspected periodically during the day. <br />Procedures will be presented during pre -entry training. <br />5.2.1 Gloves/Body Coverings <br />Gloves and coveralls will be regularly inspected and replaced if torn. <br />Coveralls will be laundered daily at a minimum. Reusable gloves will be <br />decontaminated whenever exiting work areas. <br />5.2.2 Respirators <br />Site conditions are not anticipated to require respiratory protection, <br />therefore, no respirators are expected to be necessary. However, <br />respirators shall be inspected and checked daily for leaks both visually <br />and with negative or positive pressure checks on the wearer. Respirator <br />cartridges will be replaced daily or more frequently if excessive <br />resistance develops. All respirator maintenance will be performed by the <br />SSHO. The type of respirators used will be equipped with high efficiency <br />organic vapor cartridges and dust filters. <br />Respirator exterior will be wet -wiped whenever exiting work areas, as <br />specified in Section 8. Respirators will be rinsed with a solution <br />containing a sanitizer recommended by the respirator manufacturer. <br />Respirators will be hung to drip dry and, if not used daily, will be <br />placed inside plastic bags for protection against dust. <br />6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING <br />6.1 Real Time Air Monitoring <br />A total volatile organics instrument shall be used to periodically monitor <br />airborne concentrations of contaminants on site. A photoionization <br />detector (PID) (e.g., hNu or OVM) or equivalent and explosimeter/oxygen <br />meter will be used to screen excavated soils for volatile organic compound <br />contamination. The PID will also be used to measure and record employee <br />breathing zone levels of organic vapors and gases. <br />
