s� 111111 <br /> SECTION <br /> SITE SPECIFIC HEALTH ".D SA"ETY <br /> PLAN <br /> The only significant site-specific hazards anticipated during the <br /> sampling operation are heat stress if ambient air temperatures are <br /> high, and the hazard presented by working close to an active <br /> railroad. <br /> During the installation of Well # 1, the drill rig will be set up parallel <br /> to the railroad tracks such that no personnel will be working between <br /> the rig and the tracks. The rig will be set up with the rear of the rig <br /> facing the rail traffic so that personnel working behind the rig will <br /> have a clear view of any approaching rail traffic. No part of the rig <br /> will be closer than S feet to the tracks. A barricade will be -et up <br /> between the rig and the tracks to prevent personnel from <br /> inadvertently coming too close to the tracks while working. The Field <br /> Safety Officer will keep watch for rail traffic, and work will be <br /> suspended at any time a train approaches. Work will resume when <br /> the tracks are clear of traffic. <br /> During the installation of Wells # 2 and 3, all personnel will be <br /> working behind a chain-link fence which separates the work area <br /> from the active rails in order to eliminate the possibility of workers <br /> accidently entering the area of the active railroad tracks. <br /> In order to minimize the hazard of heat stress, protective clothing <br /> will be limited to disposable gloves, hard hat, and steel-toed boots <br /> during sampling operations. The contaminants themselves present a <br /> very low hazard, and gloves will be worn primarily to avoid cross- <br /> contamination between samples. In addition, work will be initiated <br /> as soon after daybreak as possible. Air temperature will be <br /> monitored during sampling operations, and workers will be <br /> instructed to be alert for signs and symptoms of heat stress. <br /> Frequent rest periods will be taken in a location out of the sun. <br /> During rest periods, workers will he instructed to drink plenty of <br /> fluids. Each worker's pulse rate will be monitored during sampling <br /> operations and rest periods. If conditions warrant, work will be <br /> limited to early morning and late afternoon hours. <br /> Work zones will be established in order to prevent transportation of <br /> contaminants off-site, and to protect sampling personnel and the <br /> general public. The proposed work zones are shown in Figure 3-1. <br /> 3-1 <br />
