' ` 0 ' HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN ' Pacific Gas and Electric Company is dedicated to ensuring that its employees and contractors work within a safe and healthy environment at potentially hazardous sites. All field personnel ' working on the project will be SARA -trained (Hazardous Waste Site Operations 40 -hour training class). This Health and Safety Plan is prepared in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 and will be implemented during the soil sampling portion of the subsurface investigation described in ' this workplan. The requirements, specifications, and procedures presented in this plan will apply to all on-site personnel including employees, contractors and sub -contractors, site ' visitors, and regulatory agency personnel KEY PERSONNEL The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager will provide necessary training to site personnel in the use of safety and personal protection equipment and will manage the on-site monitoring ' program. The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager will have the authority to deny access to any individual without the proper training, medical release, or protective equipment required for the site conditions or those individuals disregarding site safety procedures. All site personnel will be under the direction of the Site Safety Officer/Project Manager. The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager for this project at PG&E's McMullin Gas Dehydrator Station is Darrell Klingman (phone: 510-866-5883). ' HAZARD ANALYSIS The activities addressed by this health and safety plan include soil sampling while conducting ' exploratory soil borings. Although exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons at hazardous levels Is very unlikely, these activities present a remote potential for exposure to potentially ' hazardous materials via dermal contact and inhalation. ' The most significant risk associated with the compounds at the site is exposure to aromatic compounds. Skin contact will be eliminated by use of clothing and gloves. The inhalation hazard will be minimized by using appropriate respiratory protective devices as determined by on-site air monitoring using a photoionization detector vapor meter (PID) calibrated to the benzene molecule with isobutylene gas. The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager will establish an exclusion zone around the work area. ' Restricted activities inside the exclusion zone may be allowed depending on the results of field measurements taken during the course of the activities. Access within this zone will be limited to required personnel. ' cca09.23-92/8787a.51/cp31 A-1
