Therefore, this Health and Safety Plan was <br />developed and is intended to be followed by all project personnel. It is the responsibility of the <br />Project Manager to implement and enforce the plan and any subsequent revisions, during the <br />course of all operations at the site. <br />1.1 OVERVIEW <br />The Naiome King Trust has retained Wright Environmental Services, Inc. (WES) to bring the <br />tank removal at the King Island site into compliance for the removal of one (1) underground <br />storage tank (UST) at the site. The work will consist of sampling the surrounding soil and <br />groundwater, tank disposal, performing any additional excavation from the removed UST, and <br />documented disposal of contaminated soil and groundwater generated from tank removal. The <br />typical steps involved with tank removal are: <br />1. Draining/cleaning of all liquid from the tank and all associated lines. <br />2. Capping or removing associated lines. <br />3. Excavation and removing the tank from the ground. <br />4. Freeing the tank of toxic vapors <br />S. Disposing of the tank <br />6. Backfilling the excavation hole. <br />The chemical hazards expected to be encountered at the site may be organics and metals from <br />gasoline or diesel/fuel oil. The other hazards expected to be encountered during the project are <br />exposure to physical hazards such as slipping, tripping, cuts, strains bruises, smashing limbs <br />from working around heavy equipment (pinch points), excessive noise, broken bones and heat <br />stress. The tank capacity and contents are listed below: <br />CAPACITY (gallons) CONTENTS <br />1 < 500 unknown <br />
