t4w) S.) <br /> I <br /> SITE HEALTH& SAFETY PLAN <br /> 3.0 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS <br /> The possible major contaminants to be encountered on the project are <br /> Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). <br /> There is currently no known air concentration data available for VOCs <br /> emissions in the direct breathing zone of personnel working around the <br /> piezometers or exposed soils. <br /> Inhalation and dermal (absorption) hazards are the major area of <br /> concern, regarding the exposure to VOCs. Results of toxicological <br /> studies on animal exposure to pure concentrations of the VOCs that have <br /> been' detected at the site are detailed in "Handbook of Toxic and <br /> Hazardous Chemicals", by M. Sittig (1981), and "Dangerous Properties of <br /> Industrial Materials", by N. Irving Sax (1984). An additional reference <br /> source used for the development of 1 this Site Safety Plan is the <br /> "Documentation of the Threshold Limit Values",. published by the ACGIH <br /> (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, Inc. <br /> Gasoline <br /> Gasoline has an appearance of a clear, aromatic, volatile liquid, and is <br /> a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
