0 <br />E <br />- 3 - <br />1.0 PERSONNEL PROTECTION <br />1.1 Anticipated Levels of Protection <br />0 <br />The hazards anticipated to be present during the soil excavation <br />and sample collection tasks require very limited levels of <br />protection. EPA Level D protective clothing will be worn by all <br />field personnel during on-site activities. If the site conditions <br />warrant, the level of protection will be escalated to EPA Level C. <br />The On -Site Safety Coordinator will be responsible for determining <br />the appropriate level of personal protection to be used. Based upon <br />the present and historic knowledge of the site, Levels A and B <br />protection will not be required for the operations detailed in this <br />work plan. <br />1.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) <br />The equipment necessary for each level of protection is detailed <br />below. <br />Level D: <br />Level D protection will consist of the "basic work uniform": <br />Hard Hat <br />• Safety Glasses with Protective Sideshields <br />Steel -toed, Steel -shank Chemical Resistant Boots <br />Coveralls <br />Latex or Vinyl Surgical -Type Gloves <br />Level C: <br />The Level C protective equipment ensemble is equivalent to Level <br />D with the exception that the respirator and Tyve coveralls will be <br />worn. The specific PPE required for each level of protection may be <br />modified in response to the actual site conditions encountered. The <br />On -Site Coordinator shall notify Lambert Construction/Environmental <br />Health and Safety officer and the Project Director prior to <br />implementing any modifications of PPE of levels of protection. <br />1.3 Contaminant Monitoring <br />An initial site reconnaissance will be performed prior to <br />commencement of each field excursion. A field excursion is defined <br />as each mobilization of field workers into the exclusion zone. <br />additionally, the site will be monitored under the supervision of the <br />On -Site Safety Coordinator during the course of work operations. As <br />the primary hazard from the known contaminants at this site is by <br />inhalation of contaminated dust and direct contact with contaminated <br />soil the objective of this monitoring is to assess the adequacy of <br />personal protective equipment, to protect personnel and the public <br />from possible releases of toxic or hazardous substances, and to <br />• provide rational for the selected or modification of the level of <br />protection used on the site. <br />
