readings, that organic vapor concentrations in the work area reach 1 ppm in the breathing <br /> zone,half mask respirators with organic vapor cartridges will be required. <br /> If PID readings indicate total hydrocarbon levels reach 20 ppm in the breathing zone for <br /> 5 minutes, work activities will be suspended until the airborne hydrocarbon concentrations <br /> decrease to less than 10 ppm. If airborne levels remain at 20 ppm or more, all work activities <br /> will cease until the Company Safety Officer can be notified, and these levels can be <br /> ameliorated. <br /> 6.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br /> A. Introduction <br /> It is important that personal protective equipment and safety requirements be appropriate to <br /> protect against the potential hazards at the site. Protective equipment will be selected based <br /> on the contaminant type(s), concentration(s), and route of entry. hi situations where the type <br /> of materials and possibilities of contact are unknown or the hazards are not clearly <br /> identifiable, a more subjective determination must be made of the personal protective <br /> equipment. <br /> A minimum of modified Level D safety equipment and clothing will be required for all <br /> workers and visitors on the site. All personnel must be prepared to step up to higher levels of <br /> protective equipment as conditions warrant. <br /> B. Levels of Protection <br /> The basic required work uniform for the site is modified Level D protection which will <br /> include: <br /> • hard hat <br /> • steel toed boots <br /> • safety glasses <br /> • polyvinyl gloves for handling soil or liquid samples <br /> • neoprene over gloves for handling augers or other contaminated items <br /> If Level C protection is deemed necessary by the Site Safety Officer based on field <br /> conditions,the protective equipment will include: <br /> • modified Level D equipment including gloves and polycoated Tyvek <br /> coveralls, <br /> SSP.Project No. 5 Date <br />
