PURPOSE AND SCOPE <br />The Health and Safety Plan for the Underground tank removal and soil excavation at 681 <br />E. Lockeford St., provides for the protection of on-site personnel and the surrounding <br />community during site remediation activities. The requirements and proceedures set forth <br />in this plan will apply to all on-site personnel, including employees, subcontractors, site <br />visitors and regulatory personnel. <br />HAZARD ANAL YSJS <br />The most significant risk associated with petroleum contaminated soil is potential <br />exposure to aromatic compounds. Since we expect to be dealing exclusively with non- <br />volatile compounds, the need for respiratory protection is not anticipated. Skin contact <br />will be eliminated by use of protective clothing, eye wear, rubber boots and gloves. The <br />Site Safety Officer will establish an exclusion zone encompassing a 50 foot radius from the <br />work area. Access within this zone will be limited to required personnel. If volatile <br />organic compounds are encountered, total organic vapors will be monitored within the <br />exclusion zone using a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) calibrated for benzene the most <br />toxic of the aromatic hydrocarbons. Current recommended exposure limitations for <br />potential site contaminants are presented in Table 1. <br />PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br />A minimum of Level D protection will be required within the exclusion zone for any <br />workers engaged in sample collection or other activities on this site. Level D protection <br />will include: <br />Disposable Tyvek coverall <br />— Rubber boots with steel toe <br />Splash goggles or safety glasses <br />Chemical resistant disposable gloves <br />— Hard hats <br />Level C protection will be required if FID readings exceeding 10 ppm over background <br />concentrations are recorded in the workers breathing zone. Level C protection will <br />consist of: <br />Disposable Tyvek coverall <br />Rubber boots with steel toe <br />— Splash goggles <br />Chemical resistant disposal gloves (inner) <br />— Chemical resistant outer gloves <br />— MSHA/NIOSH approved half -mask air purifying respirator <br />with dual organic vapor cartridges <br />
