1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> American Geological Services, Inc. has adopted stringent Health and Safety procedures for all <br /> project activities. These procedures ensure that a high level of safety for human health is <br /> maintained at all times. This Health and Safety Plan is used as a guide to all site personnel to <br /> minimize the risks associated with hazardous substances and working conditions for these <br /> projects. OSHA and RCRA consider the following key items as important parts of safe <br /> hazardous waste management: <br /> Recognition and understanding of physical and health risks; <br /> Knowledge of dangerous physical and chemical properties; <br /> Understanding the need for protective clothing and equipment, and what to use <br /> under varying situations; <br /> Emergency procedures and contingency plans; <br /> Decontamination procedures; <br /> Safe and correct equipment use and maintenance. <br /> This Health and Safety Plan covers the procedures to be used for this project. It is not always <br /> possible, or feasible to address all possible hazards associated with ongoing dynamic projects. <br /> This plan addresses the fundamental issues of known concern. As additional information is <br /> generated during the operation of a given project the Health and Safety Plan may be periodically <br /> modified. <br /> The provisions of this project Health and Safety Plan will apply to all American Geological <br /> Services, Inc. personnel and its subcontractors. Employees of the client, and of Federal, State, <br /> and local regulatory agencies are expected to follow safety guidelines established by their <br /> respective organization in addition to this plan. <br /> 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY <br /> 2.1 Location and Setting <br /> The subject property is located at 1404 West Weber Avenue in Stockton, California.
