1.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM <br /> Geological Technics has incorporated the following health and safety precautions while <br /> working on sites containing unidentified hazardous waste. Once the nature and extent of <br /> contamination has been determined, additional work on site will be met with the proper <br /> precautions. <br /> 1.1 Workers Health and Safety <br /> �- 1.1.1 Work Space Safety <br /> The perimeter of the work space should, if possible, be 20 feet from the drilling rig or <br /> excavation site. The working perimeter will be marked by brightly colored delineators. All <br /> �. unauthorized personnel will not be allowed access into the work space. <br /> The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible <br /> working environment at all times. If an emergency occurs, the supervisor will immediately <br /> contact the proper 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. <br /> The gloves will be changed after each sample has been collected. <br /> u <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 <br /> monitored with either a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) or SKC Color-Detector Tubes <br /> (Draeger Tubes) for gas and vapor content. The PID measures the total organic compounds <br /> (VOC) vapor concentration while the Detector Tubes measures the levels of specific <br /> compounds in the air being sampled. Monitoring of the working air space shall be <br /> +-• concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind direction. <br /> If working air space concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure Limits, then the <br /> workers will wear respirators with organic vapor cartridges. <br /> If working air space at the perimeter of the working space has levels that exceed the <br /> Permissible Exposure Limits for more then 15 minutes, then the drilling or excavation <br /> activity will halt until the concentrations can be maintained below the Permissible Exposure <br /> Limits. <br /> 1.2 Health and Safety Agencies <br /> 1.
