Health and Safety Plan Underground Tank Program Tank. Removal or, over-Excavation Resample INTRODUCTION The Health and Safety Plan, for underground tank removal/over- excavation, provides for the protection of on-site personnel and the surrounding community during site characterization activities. The requirements, specifications and procedures presented with this play, willapply to all personnel on- sits , including employees, sub- contractors, site visitors and regulatory agency personnel. The most: significant risk associated with petroleum contaminated soil is exposure to aromatic compounds. akin contact will be eliminated by use of clothing, Eye wear, and gloves and the inhalation 'haz_ard will be minimized using appropriate respiratory protective i.ve devices as determined by {tir,�esite air monitoring The Safety Coordinator/Project Manager will establish an exclusion zone- encompassing oneencompeasising a r:.0 foot radius from the wilt^k area. Access within . this zone will be limited to required personnel . Total organic vapors will Be monitored within the exclusion zone using a ph+_+toi++nizati+:.n-, detector (PID) calibrated for benzene the most toxic of the aromatic hydrocarbons.
