C. FIRST AID EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: (compile information on the Incident/Near Miss form located in Appendix B. Call the office ASAP. 1. First Aid Equipment: Standard first aid kit. Portable eye wash 2. First Aid Procedures: Ingestion: Follow instructions from Poison Control Center. Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if needed. Dermal Exposure: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. A first aid kit will be provided on-site for use in case of minor injuries. Portable eyewash will also be provided,and if a worker suffers a chemical splash in the eye, the field team will be instructed to flush the eye and arrange for off-site medical treatment immediately. Workers will also be instructed to thoroughly wash with soap and water any unprotected skin that comes in direct contact with contaminated soil or water. Workers providing CPR or First Aid should use Universal Precautions to control possible exposure to bloodborne and infectious agents. Report all CPR or First Aid assistance to the Site Manager immediately. 3. Site Emergencies: In the event of a fire or explosion, evacuate the site immediately and call the appropriate emergency phone numbers listed in Section II.A,page 2. In case of a spill, try to contain with clean dirt, if feasible, and call the local fire department or hazardous materials response (HAZMAT)unit. Phone numbers are listed in Section II.A, page 2. Have procedures for remediation system shutdown or emergency procedures been provided to site owner or manager? F-1 Yes F-1 No ❑X Not Applicable VIII. SAFETY STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES(Also See Appendix C for Site Safety Checklist) A. CHEMICAL HAZARDS: A photoionization detector(PID)or flame ionization detector(FID)will be used to measure the relative concentration of VOC vapors. Monitoring for exposure to benzene vapors may be done using activated charcoal tubes and vacuum pumps,vapor badges, or benzene colorimetric tubes in the breathing zone when working with heavily contaminated soil or water. Action limits for use of respiratory protective equipment are outlined in Section VI.B above. All respiratory protection equipment shall be NIOSH/MSHA-approved and use shall conform to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134. A written Respiratory Protection Program detailing selection, use, cleaning, storage, medical monitoring, training and fit testing of respiratory protective equipment is maintained at Miller Brooks Headquarters. In addition to being inhalation hazards, VOC compounds can also be absorbed through the skin. Skin contact with liquid hydrocarbons or fuel hydrocarbon-bearing soil should be prevented. In situations where sampling would result in direct skin contact with hydrocarbon liquids,saturated soil or contaminated equipment, nitrile gloves will be wom. A combination explosimeter/oxygen (02) meter will be available as necessary on-site to monitor the levels of flammable gases, such as petroleum vapors and methane. An explosimeter should also be used by a subcontractor to verify that the atmosphere inside an underground storage tank has been inerted prior to allowing the tank to be removed. B. PHYSICAL HAZARDS: 1. Mechanical hazards: cuts, abrasions, contusions; slips, trips, falls; being struck or entrapped by moving parts of heavy equipment or falling objects. Such hazards will be minimized by keeping the work area free of equipment and debris that could cause slips,trips or falls and maintaining a safe distance from heavy equipment and moving machinery parts. 2. Electrical hazards: Possible excavation of unanticipated electrical cables and potential contact by heavy equipment with overhead power lines during drilling and excavation. Maintain at least 20 feet clearance from overhead power lines. If Miller Brooks Environmental Inc. 1/30/2008 Page 11
