0 <br />for the trained employee to take breaks when needed, and <br />replace fluids frequently. Awareness will be emphasized and <br />scheduling will be at employee discretion. <br />When ambient temperatures exceed 85 OF and employees are <br />required to wear impermeable clothing, heat stress monitoring <br />shall also be conducted with the first break scheduled after <br />30 minutes. Monitoring conducted shall be the heart rate. <br />For heart rate monitoring, the radial pulse during a 30 <br />second period immediately following the end of the work <br />period shall be taken. If the heart rate exceeds 100 beats <br />per minute at the end of the work period, the rest cycle will <br />be lengthened until the pulse rate drops to below 100 beats <br />per minute. <br />When ambient temperatures exceed 100 OF, heat stress <br />monitoring will be conducted for all employees regardless of <br />the type of protective clothing worn or level of work <br />activity. <br />3.2. Noise <br />A potential for elevated noise exposure exists for the <br />sandblasting operators. This hazard will be controlled by <br />implementation of a hearing conservation program. The use of <br />hearing protection, either plugs or muffs, will be required <br />for the sandblasting operators. <br />3.3. Construction <br />As on all construction sites, there is a recognized potential <br />for personal injury due to struck by/against accidents. <br />American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved <br />equipment will be required to guard against head, foot, and <br />eye injuries. <br />3.4. Dust Generation <br />Demolition and excavation activities have the potential to <br />generate considerable amounts of dust. Dust will be minimzed <br />within the excavation area and cleaned up at the completion <br />of the operations. Water spray will be used during <br />excavation to minimize dust generation. In addition, <br />personal protective equipment will minimize the operators <br />exposure. <br />3.5. Chemical Exposures <br />The chemicals of primary concern include Petroleum Fuel <br />Hydrocarbon. Exposure to the compound listed above may occur <br />through inhalation, skin absorption, skin contact irritation, <br />and possible ingestion. <br />
