' 1.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN <br /> ' Geological Technics has incorporated the following health and safety precautions while <br /> working on sites containing unidentified hazardous waste. Once the nature and extent of <br /> contamination has been determined, additional work on site will be met with the proper <br /> precautions. <br /> 1.1 Workers Health and Safety <br /> 1.1.1 Work Space Safety <br /> The perimeter of the workspace should, if possible, be 20 feet from the drilling rig or <br /> excavation site. Brightly colored delineators will mark the working perimeter. All <br /> unauthorized personnel will not be allowed access into the workspace. <br /> The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible <br /> ' working environment at all times. If an emergency occurs, the supervisor will immediately <br /> contact the proper authorities. <br /> 1.1.2 Skin and Head Protection <br /> ' Disposable suits, boots, and gloves will be worn when the working conditions require such <br /> precautions. <br /> ' Disposable plastic gloves will be worn at all times during soil and groundwater sampling. <br /> The gloves will be changed after each sample has been collected. <br /> Used disposable clothing will be properly discarded at the end of each working day. <br /> ' Hard hats will be worn during drilling, excavation; and other activities in which potentially <br /> dangerous equipment is being operated within the workspace. <br /> ' 1.1.3 Face and Respiratory Protection <br /> During drilling and excavation activities, the working air space will be periodically <br /> ' monitored with a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) for gas and vapor content. The PID <br /> measures the total organic compounds (VOC) vapor concentration while the Detector Tubes <br /> measures the levels of specific compounds in the air being sampled. Monitoring of the <br /> working air space shall be concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind <br /> ' direction. <br /> If working air space concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure Limits, then the <br /> workers will wear respirators with organic vapor cartridges. <br /> If working air space at the perimeter of the working space has levels that exceed the <br /> Permissible Exposure Limits for more then 15 minutes, then the drilling or excavation <br /> ' activity will halt until the concentrations can be maintained below the Permissible Exposure <br /> Limits. <br /> r <br />
