dust particle filters will be worn if vapor contamination levels on-site exceed <br /> action levels as determined using a photoionization detector (PID) . Action levels <br /> requirements apparatus will be 5 ppm, in the breathing space. Other equipment <br /> will include steel-toed and steel-shanked rubber boots, and safety glasses. <br /> Furthermore, no on-site smoking, open flame, or sparks will be permitted in order <br /> to prevent accidental ignition. All work involved with drilling and soil <br /> penetration will require that Level C protection be enforced. <br /> 3. Exposure Monitoring Plan: <br /> As stated in paragraph 2 above, personnel on-site will have access to respirators <br /> with organic vapor cartridges. Replacement cartridges will be available on-site <br /> as needed. When handling samples, the on-site geologist will wear appropriate <br /> gloves. Hard hats will be worn by all personnel on--site when in the proximity <br /> of equipment. <br /> Lo 4. Work Zone and Security Measures: <br /> Access to the site will be restricted to authorized personnel. A set of cones, <br /> placards, or wide yellow tape, surrounding the site will define the perimeter. <br /> The Project Manager will be responsible for site security. <br /> 5. Decontamination Measures: <br /> Avoidance of contamination whenever possible is the best method of protection. <br /> Common sense dictates that on-site personnel avoid sitting, leaning, or placing <br /> equipment on possible contaminated soil. All personnel will be advised to wash <br /> their hands, neck, and face with soap and water before taking a break or leaving <br /> the site. Respirators will be washed with soap and water following each day' s <br /> use. Drilling and sampling equipment used will be decontaminated by steam- <br /> cleaning. Sampling equipment will be decontaminated before each sample is taken. <br /> 6. General Safe Work Practices: <br /> On-site personnel will be briefed each day in "tailgate" meetings as to the day' s <br /> goals and equipment to be used. Anticipated contaminants and emergency procedures <br /> will be reviewed. Appropriate personal protective equipment will be put on and <br /> ` verified correct by SSO, including respirator fit. <br /> 7. Training Requirements: <br /> a.. <br /> The SSO will conduct a pre-site training session which will include all points <br /> of MSDS forms, contaminant properties, warning signs, health hazard data, risk <br /> 06- from exposure, and emergency first aid. All chemicals are to be covered and the <br /> SSO will assure that everyone fully understands site hazards. <br /> 8. Medical Surveillance Program: <br /> According to CFR 29, 1910. 120, Paragraph (F), employees who wear respirators 30 <br /> days or more during one year who have been exposed to hazardous substances or <br /> 1.. health hazards above established permissible limits are required to be monitored <br /> Medically. All site personnel will be required to have a complete chemical <br /> i physical within the past year. <br /> 106 <br />
