NATIONAL ADVERTISING COMPANY- ADDITIONAL. SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN <br />7. Remove outer Tyvek coveralls andlace them in. an appropriate containers specified for waste <br />Pp <br />r_ <br />PPE. <br />8. Remove respirator mask (also goggles if worn). <br />9. Wash, rinse, and. remove inner protective gloves and place them in an appropriate container <br /># specified for waste PPE. <br />10. Wash hands using soap and water (separate from other decontamination cleaners/solutions). <br />9.3 EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION <br />Equipment which might require decontamination includes heavy equipment, tools, monitoring equipment, <br />sampling equipment, and sample containers; trucks and trailers; and the decontamination equipment itself <br />when the decontamination is closed down. Before entering the site, all equipment will be cleaned to <br />remove grease, oil, encrusted dirt, or other potential contaminants. <br />9.4 DISPOSAL OF DECONTAMINATION WASTES <br />Solid and liquid decontamination waste should be containerized. Solids may be double bagged, or placed <br />in a sealed drum or similar container. Liquids will be collected during decontamination and placed in <br />sealed containers or pumped into holding tanks for future testing and disposal. Containers must be clearly <br />labeled for content, the operation from which they were filled, and the dates. <br />9.5 DECONTAMINATION DURING EMERGENCIES <br />Often during emergencies the need to quickly respond to -an accident or injury must be weighed against <br />the risk to the injured party from chemical exposure.' It may be that the time! lost or the additional <br />handling of an injured person during the decontamination process may cause greater harm to the <br />individual than the exposure that would be received by undressing that person without proper <br />decontamination. <br />This decision must be made by the SSO. The SSO, as the onsite focus for safety matters, must be familiar <br />with the safety criteria and the logic behind them. Each operation is different, and the risks to personnel <br />r from exposure vs. injury are different. <br />An additional consideration to include when bypassing decontamination of injured personnel is . the <br />acceptance of contaminated personnel at emergency medical facilities. Many facilities will not accept <br />contaminated personnel. Site response personnel should accompany contaminated victims to the medical <br />facility to advise on matters involving decontamination. <br />L <br />t <br />hslprojsuplcominachasp.doc <br />9-3. <br />I <br />02/09/99 <br />
