It is the responsibility of all Twining personnel associated with the project to familiarize themselves with this site safety plan. B-1 Potential Health and Safety Hazards: Information developed regarding the site indicates that Volatile Organic Constituents products and Asbestos are the potentially hazardous substance that has been stored on-site. VOC's Symptoms of direct exposure to significant concentrations of VOCs may include: eye,nose, or skin irritation,nausea, and unconsciousness. If any of these symptoms develop, operations will be stopped immediately and medical attention will be obtained, as necessary. First aid procedures for direct exposure to the on-site materials are: • Skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Flush affected area immediately with water, then wash with soap and water. • Eves: Hold eyelid open and flush the eye with water. • Lungs: Move to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration as necessary. ASBESTOS: Asbestos is the name given to fibrous silicate mineral. Asbestos is not always an immediate hazard. It is only when asbestos containing material(ACM) are disturbed or the materials become damaged that becomes a hazard. When the materials become damaged,the fibers separates and then become airborne. The term Friable is used to described asbestos that can be reduced to dust. Non-friable materials, such as transite siding or piping are not regulated provided it does not become friable. When asbestos occurred in a white fiber(friable) form it should be dealt with according to standard health and safety procedures for asbestos. Once the presence of asbestos is confirmed at the workplace,warning signs shall be displayed at each regulated area(asbestos containing areas). In addition warning signs shall be posted at all approaches to regulated areas so that employees may read the signs and take necessary protective steps before entering the area.

At the job site asbestos shall be handled,mixed, applied,removed, cut, scored or otherwise worked in a wet state sufficient to prevent the emission of airborne fibers. The PPE shall be cleaned,launder,repair, or replaced to maintain their effectiveness. The worker shall not leave the workplace wearing any clothing or equipments worn during the work shift.
