1.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM Geological Technics has incorporated the followinghealth and safety ty precautions while working on sites containing.unidentified hazardous.waste. Once the nature and extent of contamination has been determined, additional work on site will be met with the proper precautions. 1.1 Workers Health and Safety L 1.1 Work Space Safety The perimeter of the workspace should, if possible, be 20 feet from the drilling rig or excavation site: Brightly colored delineators will mark the working perimeter. All-unauthorized personnel will not be allowed access into the work space. �� The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible working environment at all times. If an emergency occurs,the supervisor will immediately contact the proper authorities. 1.1.2 Skin and Head Protection i Disposable suits,boots,and gloves will be worn when'the working conditions require such precautions. I I Disposable plastic gloves will be worn at all times during soil and groundwater sampling. The gloves will be ##•�� changed after each sample has been collected. Used disposable clothing will be properly discarded at the end of each working day. , Hard hats will be worn during drilling,-excavation, and other activities in.which potentially dangerous equipment is being operated within the work space. 1.1.3 Face and Respiratory Protection. During drilling and excavation activities, the working air space will be periodically monitored witheither a Photo Ionization Detector(PID)or SKC Color-Detector Tubes(Draege'i•Tubes)for gas and vapor content. The I PID measures the total organic compounds (VOC) vapor concentration while the Detector Tubes measures the levels of specific compounds in the. air being sampled. Monitoring of the working air space shall be concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind direction. If working air space concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure,Limits, then the workers will wear ' respirators with organic vapor cartridges. If working air space at the perimeterof the working space has levels that exceed the Permissible-Exposure Limits for more then 15 minutes,then the drilling or excavation activity will halt until the concentrations can be maintained below the Permissible Exposure Limits. 1.2, Health and Safety Agencies 1.
