TASK-BY-TASK RISK ASSESSMENT-FORM 8 <br /> (COMPLETE ONE SHEET FOR EACH TASK) <br /> TASK DESCRIPTION <br /> TASK 1 —Soil matrix sampling from direct push borings and surface/shallow subsurface locations. <br /> EQUIPMENT REQUIRED/USED <br /> Hard hat Paper Towels Direct-Push Drill <br /> Safety Boots Sample coolers Hand Auger <br /> Protective Glasses Sample Containers Slide Hammer <br /> Nitrile Surgical Gloves Zip-Lock Bags Hearing Protection <br /> First Aid Kit Disposable Scoops <br /> POTENTIAL HAZARDS/RISKS <br /> Chemical <br /> ® Hazard Present Risk Level: ❑H❑M®L <br /> What justifies risk level?Minimal potential risk of exposure to lead and TPH compounds.No respiratory hazard anticipated. <br /> Use of Level D personal protective equipment(PPE)and good housekeeping protocols will minimize contact or absorption <br /> with potentially contaminated soil. <br /> Physical <br /> ® Hazard Present Risk Level: ❑H❑M®L <br /> What justifies risk level?Sampling activities will take place around drilling equipment which poses a significant risk for <br /> injury.To minimize risks,work areas will be set up a minimum of 20 feet away from active drilling equipment,and will <br /> maintain communication with the competent person from the drilling company. Sampling and decontamination have risk of <br /> slips/trips/falls from walking on uneven ground.Maintaining focus on footing will minimize slip/trip/fall hazards.Sampling <br /> tasks will involve bending,squatting,or kneeling to collect samples,lifting,note taking,and photo documentation.No work <br /> from elevations is anticipated. <br /> Biological <br /> ® Hazard Present Risk Level: ❑H❑M®L <br /> What justifies risk level?Insects and animals,such as spiders and snakes,may be present at work location.In addition, <br /> potentially hazardous plants may be present at site.Use of insect repellant,gloves and general awareness will be <br /> implemented.The site will be mowed prior to project work. <br /> Radiological <br /> ® Hazard Present Risk Level: ❑H❑M®L <br /> What justifies risk level?Given the time of year and work location,there is a potential for significant levels of sun exposure. <br /> Use of sunscreen and consumption of fluids will be implemented during field activities. <br /> LEVELS OF PROTECTION/JUSTIFICATION <br /> Level D;no inhalation pathway hazards are known or suspected. <br /> SAFETY PROCEDURES REQUIRED AND/OR FIELD OPS UTILIZED <br /> All field activities will be performed in accordance with this HASP and WESTON's standard operating procedures(SOPS) <br /> outlined in WESTON's Safety Officer Field Manual. <br /> FLD1,FLD2,FLD10,FLD11,FLD12,FLD 20,FLD 34,FLD 38,FLD43A,FLD43B,FLD43D,FLD44,FLD48,FLD49, <br /> FLD 56,FLD57,FLD59,FLD60,FLD61. <br /> In addition,field activities and sampling procedures will be performed according to the Sampling and Analysis Plan(SAP) <br /> and EPA SOPs. <br /> 10 of 23 <br />
