All <br /> site personnel will be under the direction of the Safety <br /> Coordinator/Project Manager. <br /> HAZARD ANALYSIS <br /> The property previously operated a gasoline and/or diesel fuel <br /> distribution facility. Historic data and evaluation of <br /> subsurface indicate the presence or potential presence of <br /> hydrocarbon fuel contamination. <br /> The activities addressed by this safety plan include surface and <br /> subsurface soil and groundwater sample collection. These <br /> activities present the potential for exposure to toxic materials <br /> through both skin contact and inhalation. The subsurface <br /> sampling may also pose a fire and explosion hazard from gases and <br /> vapors trapped beneath the ground surface. <br />
