AIR MONITORING The Site Safety Officer/Project Manager (or another qualified person designated by the Site Safety Officer) will conduct periodic air monitoring, using direct-reading, real-time sampling equipment. This will include using a direct-reading photoionization detector(Thermo-Environmental Model 580A or equivalent)to monitor the concentrations of organic vapors in the work area. Organic vapors will be monitored periodically during the collection of soil samples. The meter will be calibrated at the start of each work period with isobutylene gas. Total organic vapor measurements will be used to determine the appropriate levels of respiratory protection, and identify conditions that would require site evacuation. Total organic concentrations in the worker's breathing zone in excess of 50 PPM will require Level C personal protective equipment. Total organic concentrations in the worker's breathing zone in excess of 200 PPM will require evacuation of the work area until the organic concentrations subside to below 200 PPM. ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND INFORMATION Prior to any on-site activities,the Site Safety Officer/Project Manager will conduct training on any health and safety related items which are unique or specifically germane to the project. This will at least include the following: 1. Summarize the physical and chemical health and safety hazards which can be expected at the site. 2. Personal protective equipment rationale, use, and maintenance. 3. Exclusion zone entry, exit, and decontamination procedures. 4. Emergency response procedures(i.e., emergency phone numbers, hospital route, procedures to be followed in the event of a chemical spill, fire, or explosion, evacuation routes, mustering areas, etc.). cca/10-7-92/8913a/JAWP13 A-6
