chemically-protective gloves to provide better physical protection, however such gloves will require disposal at the conclusion of sampling since proper decontamination is not feasible. 7.2.2 Modified Level D If the potential exists for contact with chemical contaminants (e.g., splashes, "dirty operations, etc.), but if the respiratory hazard is low, the use of a Modified Level D ensemble is appropriate. Modified Level D consists of protective clothing to preclude hazards due to contact with contaminated materials, but does not provide increased respiratory protection. The use of protective clothing in the Modified Level D ensemble can also serve to aid in personal cleaning and decontamination efforts through the use of disposable outer protective garments. The limitations specified above for Level D PPE apply equally to Modified Level D, except that in this ensemble some contact with contaminated material can be tolerated. The use of Modified Level D PPE will be required for on-site operations where contact with contaminated soils/samples can be expected(e.g., soil handling/containerization). Tvnical Modified Level D Eauinment List Chemical-resistant disposable outer coveralls(e.g.,Tyvek TM or polyethylene-coated Tyvek TM coveralls) Chemical-resistant(e.g.,nitrile)outer gloves(taped to outer coveralls) Chemical-resistant(e.g.,nitrile)inner gloves Butyl apron(optional, for use where splash potential is high) Hardhat Safety glasses/face shield Chemical-resistant safety boots(taped to outer coveralls) Hearing protection(as required) Safety vest with reflective elements(night work only) 7.2.3 Level C The use of Level C protective equipment during site activities is not permissible for this project because AGE personnel have not completed training to perform hazardous waste operations or emergency response actions as described in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, Chapter 4, Subchapter 7 and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1910. Should on-site monitoring indicate that Level D PPE is inadequate, the SSO will stop all work, and will contact the Health and Safety Professional for further guidance.Upgrade to Level C PPE will not be permitted without the concurrence of the Health and Safety Professional, and the preparation of supplemental Health and Safety requirements addressing the additional procedures,which will be observed. 7.2.4 Level B The use of Level B protective equipment during site activities is not permissible at this site. 7.2.5 Level A The use of Level A protective equipment is not permissible for this project.
