1 <br /> Health and Safety' Plan <br /> Y} <br /> Underground Tank Program <br /> Tank Removal or <br /> Over-Excavation Resample <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> PURPOSE AND SCOPE i! <br /> The Health and Safety Plan, for underground tank removal/over-excavation provides <br /> for the protection of on-site personnel and the surrounding community during site <br /> characterization activities. The requirements, specifications and procedures presented <br /> with the plan will apple to all personnel on-site, including employees, subcontractors, <br /> site visitors and regulatory agency personnel. <br /> HAZARD ANALYSIS <br /> The most significant risk associated with petroleum contaminated soil is exposure to <br /> aromatic compounds. Skin contact will be eliminated by'use of clothing, eye wear, and <br /> gloves and the inhalation hazard will be minimized using:..appropriate respiratory <br /> protective devices as determined by on-site air monitoring. Tle Safety <br /> Coordinator/Project Manager will establish an exclusion'zone encompassing a 50-foot <br /> radius from the work area. Access Within this zone willbe limited to required <br /> personnel. Total organic vapors will be monitored within the exclusion zone using a <br /> photoionization detector (PID) calibrated for benzene, the most toxic of the aromatic <br /> hydrocarbons. Current enforceable and recommended exposure limitations for <br /> potential site contaminants are presented in Table 1. <br /> a <br /> PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br /> A minimum of U.S. EPA level D protection will be required within the exclusion <br /> zone for any workers engaged in sample collection or other activities on this site. <br /> Level D protection will include: <br /> • Disposable Tyvek coverall (when in contact with contaminated material) <br /> • Boots with steel toe <br /> • Splash goggles or safety glasses <br /> • Chemical resistant disposal gloves (when in contact';with contaminated <br /> material) <br /> Level C protection will be required if PID readings exceeding 10 ppm over <br /> background concentration are recorded in the workers' breathing zone. Level C <br /> protection will consist of: <br /> • Disposable Tyvek coverall <br /> • Boots with steel toe <br /> • Chemical resistant boot covers <br /> Ii <br />
