SITE HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN <br /> 6. 0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br /> A. INTRODUCTION <br /> It is important that personal protective equipment and <br /> safety requirements be appropriate to protect against <br /> the potential hazards at the site. Protective equipment <br /> will be selected based on the contaminant type(s) , <br /> concentration(s) , and routes of entry. In situations <br /> where the type of materials and possibilities of contact <br /> are unknown or the hazards are not clearly identifiable, <br /> . a more subjective determination must be made of the <br /> personal protective equipment. <br /> Field personnel and visitors are required to wear the <br /> following clothing and equipment, as a minimum, while on <br /> this Project Site: <br /> * Hard Hat <br /> * Boots <br /> B. LEVELS OF PROTECTION - GENERAL <br /> Level A: Should be worn when the highest level of <br /> respiratory, skin, and eye protection is needed. <br /> Level B: Should be selected when the highest level of <br /> respiratory protection is needed, but a lesser level of <br /> skin protection is required. <br /> Level C: Should be selected when the types of airborne <br /> substances are known, the concentration is measured, and <br /> the criteria for using air-purifying respirators are <br /> met. <br /> Level D: Should not be worn on any site with <br /> respiratory or skin hazards. It is primarily a work <br /> uniform providing minimal protection. <br /> 8 <br />
