An exclusion zone <br /> will be established approximately 10 feet around the work area. No unauthorized person <br /> shall be allowed within this exclusion area. <br /> 4.0. HAZARD EVALUATION <br /> The following substance(s) or hazards are known at the following concentrations: <br /> SUBSTANCESINVOLVED: CONCENTRATIONS: <br /> VOCs Unknown <br /> SVOCs Unknown <br /> Metals Unknown <br /> The primary hazards of each are identified as follows: <br /> 1. Hydrocarbon fuels-Components of fuels are colorless liquids with strong aromatic <br /> petroleum hydrocarbon-like odors. They are flammable and have low solubility in <br /> water. Exposure to these materials in excess of recommended exposure limits can <br /> cause mild eye, nose, and throat irritation and can produce a narcotic effect on the <br /> central nervous system. Symptoms of exposure at these concentrations include <br /> headache, nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, and loss of coordination. Certain <br /> components of gasoline (BTE&X etc.) are known or suspected carcinogens. <br /> 2. Perchloroethylene (PCE) - Colorless liquid used for dry cleaning fabrics. PCE is <br /> known to have a sweet odor detectable at a concentration of 1 part per million <br /> (ppm). PCE is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a <br /> Group 2A Carcinogen, meaning that it is probably carcinogenic to humans. PCE is <br /> a central nervous system depressant and can enter the body through respiratory or <br /> dermal exposure. Exposure to Concentrations of 200 ppm or more have been <br /> associated with dizziness, confusion, headache, nausea, and irritation of the eyes <br /> and mucous tissue. Exposure to extremely high levels of PCE may lead to <br /> unconsciousness and,in extreme cases,death from respiratory depression.Nausea <br /> and vomiting may follow from inhalation of large amounts of PCE. <br /> Symptoms of exposure to skin can include redness, itching, blistering, and pain. <br /> Prolonged exposure can result in the removal of natural protective oils from skin <br /> resulting in irritation, dryness, cracking and dermatitis.
