H. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br /> Based on evaluation of potential hazards,the following levels of personal protection have been designated <br /> for the applicable work areas or tasks: <br /> Location Job Function Level of Protection <br /> Sample Areas Field Engineer/Geologist A ❑ B ❑ C❑ D <br /> A ❑ B ❑ Co D ❑ <br /> A❑ B ❑ Co D ❑ <br /> Specific protective equipment for each level of protection may be as follows: <br /> Level A Level B <br /> N/A -- -- N/A <br /> Level C _ Level D <br /> N/A Hard hat&safety lasses <br /> Ear plugs <br /> j <br /> Disposable gloves <br /> Safety vest <br /> Steel toe boots <br /> No changes to the specified levels of protection shall be made without the approval of the project team <br /> manager. <br /> I. PHYSICAL HAZARDS <br /> Accidents involving physical hazards can directly injure field personnel and can create additional hazards <br /> such as increased exposure to chemicals due to damaged protective equipment. One of the most common <br /> potential hazards is improper bending and lifting which may result in back injuries. Field personnel <br /> should maintain awareness of potential safety hazards at each specific site and should immediately inform <br /> the Field Team Leader so that corrective measures can be taken. <br /> Slips, Trips and Falls <br /> During field activities, work will occur in areas where hoses and other equipment at ground level present <br /> possible slip, trip and fall hazards. In addition, wet weather conditions may also pose such hazards. The <br /> work locations will be kept as tidy as possible and free of debris on the ground. Personnel will wear <br /> appropriate footwear for site conditions and walk carefully. <br /> Noise <br /> Noise is a potential hazard in areas where equipment including drill rigs, power tools, pumps or <br /> generators are operated. Equipment operation may produce noise levels that reach or exceed 85 decibels <br /> (dBA), the action level established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), <br /> Exposure to elevated noise levels can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss and can also cause <br /> muscle tension and irritability. The Field Team Leader will ensure hearing protection is utilized when <br /> noise levels are elevated. Elevated noise levels will be evaluated by the Field Team Leader when <br />
