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. In 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 />o hard-hat <br />o steel toed boots <br />o safety glasses <br />o polyvinyl gloves for handling soil or liquid samples <br />o neoprene overgloves 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 />o modified Level D equipment including gloves and polycoated Tyvek <br />coveralls <br />o respiratory protection which may include half face respirator with organic <br />vapor cartridges depending on respiratory action levels listed above <br />920-124.1A/SSP.DOC 7 December 8, 1997 <br />
