4.2 Personnel Protection The designated personnel-protective equipment is selected.to prevent field personnel from exposure to gasoline fuel products that may be present at the site., To prevent direct skin contact, the following protective clothing will be worn as appropriate while working at the site: 1. Hard hat with optional face shield 2. Tyvek coveralls 3. Butyl rubber or disposable vinyl gloves 4. Steel toe boots 5. Goggles or safety glasses (if optional face shield not used on the hard hat) The type of gloves used will be determined by the type of work being performed. Drilling personnel will be required to wear butyl rubber gloves because they will have long-duration contact with the subsurface materials. Delta sampling personnel will wear disposable gloves when handling any sample. These gloves will be changed between.each sample. Personnel-protective equipment shall be put on before entering the immediate work area. The sleeves of the coveralls shall be outside of the cuffs of the gloves to facilitate removal of clothing with the least potential contamination of personnel. If at any time protective clothing (coveralls, boots, or gloves) becomes torn, wet, or excessively soiled, it wi11 be replaced immediately. Total organic vapors will be monitored at the site with a..portable PID. Should.the total organic vapor content approach that of the threshold limit value (TLV) for any of the substances listed in Table C-1, appropriate safety precautions will be carried out under the direction of the site project leader. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the.following: (1) donning of respirators (with appropriate cartridges) by site personnel, (2) forced ventilation of the site, and (3)'shutdown of work until such time as appropriate safety measures sufficient to insure the health and safety of site personnel can be implemented.
