Health and Safety Plan <br /> For <br /> Underground Tank Removal or Contaminated Soil Re-excavation <br /> PURPOSE AND SCOPE <br /> The Health and Safety Plan, for underground tank removal or contaminated <br /> soil re-excavation provides for the protection of on-site personnel and <br /> the surrounding community during the characterization activities being <br /> preformed. Requirements, specificationsand procedures presented with this <br /> plan will apply to all personnel on-site, including employees, subcon- <br /> tractors, site visitors and regulatory agency personnel. <br /> KEY PERSONNEL <br /> HAZARD ANALYSIS <br /> The most significant risk associated with petroleum contaminated soil is <br /> exposure to aromatic compounds. Skin contact will be eliminated by use of <br /> clothing, eye wear, and gloves. Inhalation hazard will be minimumized by <br /> using appropriate respiratory protective devices as determined by on-site <br /> air monitoring. The Safety Coordinator/Project Manager will establish an <br /> exclusion zone encompassing a 50 foot radius from the work area. Access <br /> within this zone will be limited to regtn red personnel. Total organic <br /> vapors will be monitored within the exclusion zone using a photoionization <br /> detector(PXD) calibrated for benzene the most toxic of the aromatic hy- <br /> rocarbons. Current enforceable and recommended exposure limitations for <br /> potetntial site conbarni.nants are presented in Table # 1 . <br />
