i <br /> 6.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br /> A. Introduction <br /> It is important that personal protective equipment and safety requirements be appropriate to <br /> protect against the potential hazards at the site. Protective equipment will be selected based <br /> on the contaminant type(s), concentration(s), and route of entry. In situations where the type <br /> of materials and possibilities of contact are unknown or the hazards are not clearly <br /> identifiable, a more subjective determination must be made of the personal protective <br /> equipment. <br /> A minimum of modified Level D safety equipment and clothing will be required for all <br /> workers and visitors on the site. All personnel must be prepared to step up to higher levels of <br /> protective equipment as conditions warrant. <br /> B. LEVELS OF PROTECTION <br /> The basic required work uniform for the site is modified Level D protection which will <br /> include: <br /> o hard-hat <br /> o steel toed boots <br /> o safety glasses <br /> o polyvinyl gloves for handling soil or liquid samples <br /> o neoprene overgloves for handling augers or other contaminated items <br /> If Level C protection is deemed necessary by the Site Safety Officer based on field <br /> conditions, the protective equipment will include: <br /> o modified Level D equipment including gloves and polycoated Tyvek <br /> coveralls <br /> o respiratory protection which may include half face respirator with organic <br /> vapor cartridges depending on respiratory action levels listed above <br /> 7 <br />
