10 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM <br /> Geological Technics has incorporated the following health and safety precautions while working on <br /> sites containing unidentified hazardous waste Once the nature and extent of contamination has been <br /> determined,additional work on site will be met with the proper precautions <br /> 1.1 Workers Health and Safety <br /> 111 Work Space Safety <br /> The perimeter of the work space should, if possible,be 20 feet from the drilling ng or excavation site <br /> The working penmeter will be marked by brightly colored delineators All unauthorized personnel <br />' will not be allowed access into the work space <br /> The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible working <br /> environment at all times If an emergency occurs, the supervisor will immediately contact the proper <br /> authorities <br /> 1 1.2 Skin and Head Protection <br /> Disposable suits, boots, and gloves will be worn when the working conditions require such <br /> precautions <br />' Disposable plastic gloves will be worn at all times during soil and groundwater sampling The gloves <br /> will be changed after each sample has been collected <br /> Used disposable clothing will be properly discarded at the end of each working day <br /> Hard hats will be worn during drilling, excavation, and other activities in which potentially <br /> dangerous equipment is being operated within the work space <br /> 1 1 3 Face and Respiratory Protection <br /> During drilling and excavation activities, the working air space will be periodically monitored with <br /> either a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) or SKC Color-Detector Tubes (Draeger Tubes) for gas and <br /> vapor content The PID measures the total organic compounds (VOQ vapor concentration while the <br /> Detector Tubes measures the levels of specific compounds in the air being sampled Monitoring of <br /> the working air space shall be concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind direction <br /> If working air space concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure Limits, then the workers will <br /> wear respirators with organic vapor cartridges <br /> If working air space at the perimeter of the working space has levels that exceed the Permissible <br /> Exposure Limits for more then 15 minutes, then the drilling or excavation activity will halt until the <br /> concentrations can be maintained below the Permissible Exposure Lirruts <br /> 12 Health and Safety Agencies <br /> 1 County Department of Environmental Resources <br /> Name Diane Hinson <br /> Phone No (209)468-3450 <br /> 2 Fire Department <br /> Name Tracy Fire Department <br /> Phone No 911 <br />
