accidental ingestion of chemicals. Eating, smoking and drinking are <br />not allowed within the exclusion or <br />decontamination zones. Wash hands and <br />faces prior to eating and drinking. <br />Lifting Hazards Lift heavy loads correctly with the <br />head up, back straight and knees bent <br />whenever possible use drum dollies or <br />forklifts to move heavy objects <br />Heavy Equipment Be aware of heavy equipment as it <br />moves about the site. As a bystander, <br />stay away from all operating heavy <br />equipment. <br />Noise Eardrum protection (plugs) are located <br />in the health and safety supplies, will <br />be provided to, and worn by all workers <br />exposed to noisy machinery. <br />Fire/Explosion Flammable liquids and fuels will be <br />stored in appropriate containers <br />away from tank removal activities. <br />No smoking or other ignition sources <br />are allowed within 50 feet of the <br />excavation, tank or stockpiled soil. <br />Workers will use non -sparking tools in <br />the exclusion zone. Workers should avoid standing near the <br />ends of the tank, since the ends typically fly out <br />away from the tanks during tank explosions. The oxygen level <br />within the tank must be below 10% prior to tank removal <br />from the excavation. Organic vapors within the tank will <br />be vented away from the work area and possible sources of <br />ignition. <br />Heat Stress Rest periods. Shaded rest area. Mandatory breaks to <br />replenish fluids. <br />Burns from Dry Ice Workers will wear gloves when handling dry ice. <br />Site workers are expected to maintain the site in a condition that optimize health and safety. For example, mitigating <br />small spills with absorbent material, barricading excavations and picking up tripping hazards. <br />The site is secured from the surrounding vicinity with a fence to eliminate accidental contact from the public. The <br />excavation and stockpile soil will be secured with temporary chain link fencing, and caution tape for the protection of <br />personnel. Stockpiled soil will be stored on and covered with visqueen to prevent any liquid runoff from potentially <br />contaminated soil during rainfall. <br />ow <br />
