water level indicators, etc. will be decontaminated before, between, and after use with Alconox or an equivalent
<br /> phosphate-free detergent solution to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Decontamination of all sampling
<br /> equipment will consist of submerging the equipment in a detergent solution bath and scrubbing it with dedicated
<br /> brushes. The equipment will then be placed in a rinse bath and agitated. A second rinse bath should occur if
<br /> needed. All drilling equipment such as augers and drilling rods should be thoroughly steam cleaned and rinsed.
<br /> Nitrile outer gloves will be worn whenever handling samples, equipment, or any other potentially contaminated
<br /> items. Skin exposed to direct contact with contaminants of concern will be immediately flushed with water.
<br /> Work Zone Delineation
<br /> A 15-foot exclusion zone will be delineated with caution cones as necessary to denote the work zone and area
<br /> restricted to authorized project personnel.
<br /> Traffic Control
<br /> Traffic control is not anticipated to be required for this project.
<br /> Adverse Weather
<br /> The work area will be secured and all personnel will discontinue work at the location and withdraw from the work
<br /> area in the event that adverse weather is encountered(e.g.,heavy rain, lightning).
<br /> Emergency Equipment
<br /> A first aid kit and fire extinguisher will be located in the work vehicle in a location that is easily accessible and
<br /> highly visible. The SSO will be responsible for knowing the location of and accessing the emergency equipment
<br /> as needed.
<br /> Hazard Assessment
<br /> (® =Applies, or required item(s)available. ❑ =Not Applicable)
<br /> Hazard Assessment: Physical Hazards and Related Concerns
<br /> ❑ Confined Space Entry(CSE). Confined space entry means the potentially hazardous entry into any space which,by design,has limited
<br /> openings for entry and exit and unfavorable natural ventilation that could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants and is not
<br /> intended for continuous employee occupancy. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to, storage tanks, compartments of ships,
<br /> process vessels,pits, silos, vats,degreasers,reaction vessels,boilers,ventilation and exhaust ducts, sewers,tunnels,underground utility
<br /> vaults,and pipelines. Other environments which must be treated as confined spaces include test pits,basements,garages,warehouses,and
<br /> other indoor areas where mechanical(i.e., diesel, propane, gasoline or similarly powered)equipment most be operated for drilling or
<br /> excavation purposes. Confined space entry should be allowed only when absolutely necessary.
<br /> ❑ Construction Hazards, Drill Rigs, Backhoes, etc. The use of drill rigs, backhoes, and other heavy equipment represent potentially
<br /> serious construction hazards. Whenever such equipment is used,personnel in the vicinity should be limited to those who must be there to
<br /> complete their assigned duties. All personnel must avoid standing within the turning radius of the equipment or below any suspended
<br /> load. Job sites must be kept as clean,orderly,and sanitary as possible. When water is used,care must be taken to avoid creating muddy
<br /> or slippery conditions. If slippery conditions are unavoidable,barriers and warning signs must be used to warn of these dangers.
<br /> Never turn your back to operating machinery. Never wear loose clothing jewelry,hair,or other personal items around rotating equipment
<br /> or other equipment that could catch or ensnare personal items. Always stand far enough away from operating machinery to prevent
<br /> accidental contact,which may result from mechanical or human error.
<br /> Additionally, the following basic personal protective measures must be observed: Hardhats must be worn to protect against bumps or
<br /> falling objects. Safety glasses must be worn by all workers in the vicinity of drill rigs or other sources of flying objects. Goggles,face
