equipment items is made. Airborne hydrocarbon vapor concentrations will be measured <br /> primarily by the use of a hydrocarbon vapor meter. If concentrations approach criteria <br /> levels, all personnel will be notified of possible site safety changers. Audits will be <br /> conducted by the Safety Officer to insure compliance with the Safety Plan and to provide <br /> additional support as required. <br /> Ambient Vapor Readinir <br /> A hydrocarbon vapor detector will be used during drilling and excavation activities. This <br /> instrument will be used to measure both excavation and breathing zone concentration of <br /> hydrocarbon vapors. The instrument will be calibrated on a regular schedule using known <br /> calibrated gases. <br /> Readings will be taken in the area where the field team members are working and <br /> surrounding down-wind areas. Measurements will be taken every 30 minutes where <br /> hydrocarbon vapors indicate levels above 30 ppmv. All readings will be recorded in a field <br /> notebook. <br /> Emergency Procedures listed in this plan are designed to give the field team instruction on <br /> how to handle medical emergencies land fires and explosions. The emergency procedures <br /> will be carefully reviewed with the field team during the health and safety training session. <br /> Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; call a physician immediately. <br /> Oxygen Deficiency: Move out of oxygen deficient area into fresh air. Call physician. <br /> IMMEDIATELY and induce resuscitation if breathing has stopped. <br /> The field team will be instructed to seek immediate professional medical attention for all <br /> serious injuries. A first aid kit will be present at the work site in case of minor injuries. <br /> If anyone receives a splash or particle in the eye the field team will be instructed to <br /> irrigate the eye for 15 minutes. Instruction will also be provided to wash any skin areas <br /> with soap and water if direct contact with contaminates has occurred. <br /> Fire and Explosion Hazards <br /> Fires on site are of particular concern during soil drilling and sampling activities during the <br /> possibility of encountering flammable petroleum hydrocarbon liquids or vapors. During <br /> these activities the site safety officer will be present and equipped with and explosive <br /> vapor monitor for areas monitoring and a multipurpose (A,B,C,) fire extinguisher. <br /> A:\HEAL&SAF\TANK.001 29 January 1993 <br /> 10 <br />
