0 , 0 <br />It is anticipated that there will be no significant or major potential source of exposures due to <br />the scope of work to be performed on this project. An analyses of site specific hazards with <br />respect to chemical and physical hazards are discussed below. <br />In general, the principal routes of exposure on any site include inhalation, absorption, dermal <br />contact, and ingestion. With respect to the scope of work to be performed, the potential <br />routes of exposure include inhalation, absorption, and dermal contact. General safe work <br />practices should adequately address the potential for exposure via absorption or dermal <br />contact. <br />The potential for exposure due to inhalation would probably originate from airborne vapors, <br />gas, or dusts. Due to the nature of this project, it is necessary to perform excavation activities <br />at the site. Dust suppression measures may be required if it is deemed that airborne materials <br />pose a hazard. These measures will include slowing the pace of work to minimize agitation <br />of possible airborne materials and water saturation to minimize airborne materials. <br />With respect to direct contact, personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection, <br />and skin protection will provide protection from potential exposure. Further, the amount of <br />direct contact with potential contaminants, other than airborne dusts, will be limited. <br />Should respiratory irritation occur, appropriate air -purifying respiratory protective devices <br />will be worn, with organic vapor cartridges and dust pre -filters, or with high efficiency <br />organic vapor/NEPA stack -type cartridge. Typically, the cartridge will require replacement <br />daily. Should direct contact occur in excess of what is anticipated through sample <br />preservation procedures, appropriate protective clothing will be worn. <br />Physical hazards on-site have been identified as hazards associated with soil sampling, soil <br />excavation, and soil transport activities; fire and explosion due to the presence of petroleum <br />hydrocarbons; and general safety hazards. <br />A. General <br />An air quality monitoring program shall be implemented to provide baseline and on-going air <br />quality data for site operations. This program shall include an on-going evaluation of on-site <br />atmospheric contaminant concentrations during work site activities that involve significant <br />surface disturbances using organic vapor detection instruments and detector tubes. <br />SSP.Project No. 4 Date <br />
