q Frontier Transportation, Inc. Health and Safety Plan Page 3 l Figure 1 illustrates the location of the Frontier Transportation, Inc. property with respect to the Hospital. If an emergency should occur on-site, the Emergency Medical System (911) should be activated. t � 4.2 EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS I . : S. Emergency telephone numbers shall be posted on-site and made immediately available at all times. These numbers shall include the following: EMERGENCY: Fire (209) 831 -4700 Ambulance 911 �Tf Police (209) 831 -4550 Emergency Rooms (see Figure 1 for Hospital Routes) Sutter Community Hospital (209) 835-1500 San Bernardino Community Hospital (909) 988-9211 BEA (Dave Blakely) (310) 833- 1910 Frontier Transportation (Paul Zumberge) (909) 517-2815 J NON-EMERGENCY: J City Fire Department (209) 831 -4700 City Police Department (209) 831 -4550 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (202) 260-2090 Emergency Spill Response 911 y;l5. IL4ZARD ASSESSMENT This hazard assessment is based on available information concerning chemical hazards known or suspected to be present at the Frontier Transportation, Inc. property. The potential risks to site workers are evaluated below. 1 . No danger exists from flammability no explosion since petroleum concentrations have been identified at less than 1 % of the lower explosive limit of the most volatile constituent of the compound. 2. No significant risk of inhalation of petroleum vapors exist due to the extremely low levels identified and the depth at which the concentrations were observed. r_ J 5.1 CHEMICAL EXPOSURE r Site workers may be exposed to the components of gasoline during field activities, including drilling, sampling and treatment operations. Potential exposure is to petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and water_ At present, the major expected site contaminants are benzene, toluene and xylene. A description of these chemicals can be found in Table 1. The routes of exposure for fuel hydrocarbons are ingestion, inhalation, skin absorption and eye or skin contact. Measures shall be taken to eliminate personnel exposure through the use of personal protection equipment when engineering controls are not feasible. 5.2 FIRE AND EXPLOSION The risk of fire or explosion during site activities is present, though minimal. Toluene is considered flammable and is a known contaminant on-site. The lower explosive hunts (LEL) for benzene, toluene and xylene are 13 to 1 .4 I` J Il1 ! I
