r > i <br /> V <br /> Other Requirements <br /> Only personnel that have been trained and certified in the use of heavy <br /> equipment may operate said equipment. Each piece of equipment must be <br /> trained on separately. Personnel involved in other specialized tasks must be <br /> appropriately trained prior to performing them. <br /> 7.2 Decontamination/Cleaning Activities Safety Guidelines <br /> Hazards/Controls <br /> 0 The fad that decontamination or cleaning activities are taking place <br /> implies that chemical contamination is present; therefore, protection <br /> must be taken. In addition, the cleaning agents may be irritating, or <br /> worse, and protective measures must be implemented. <br /> • Proper lockout/tagout procedures must be employed to prevent injury. <br /> Electrical circuits require special attention. <br /> • Significant amounts of decontamination work must be in restricted work <br /> areas and from ladders, etc. Slips, trips and falls cause serious injury and <br /> good housekeeping is very important. <br /> • Heat stress is a hazard, especially where PPE is required. Use work-rest <br /> regimens and maintain hydration. <br /> Other Requirements <br /> All decontamination operations that involve confined spaces, supplied air, etc., <br /> also require the task specific training. <br /> 7.3 Sampling Activities Safety Guidelines <br /> Hazards/Controls <br /> • When opening drums, check first for pressure. Loosen the retaining ring <br /> part-way and lift lid gently. After insuring that no residual pressure is <br /> present, finish removing retaining ring. <br /> 0 The need for sampling is often the result of "lack of knowledge." of the <br /> material, implying a somewhat unknown situation. PPE requirements <br /> and handling procedures must address this. <br /> Avalon Environmental Consultants - 9627-001-6 <br /> Kashmar Singh Joes Truck Plaza <br /> January 9, 2001 10 - Lathrop,California <br />
