Geologicaf?ecknics Inc. Page 1 <br /> U.S.Can Company <br /> Work Plan-Appendix A <br /> Project No. 397.2 <br /> August 9, 1996 <br /> 1.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM <br /> Geological Technics has incorporated the following health and safety precautions while working on sites <br /> containing unidentified hazardous waste. Once the nature and extent of contamination has been determined, <br /> additional work on site will be met with the proper precautions. <br /> 1.1 Workers Health and Safety <br /> 1.1.1 Work Space Safety <br /> The perimeter of the work space should, if possible, be 20 feet from the drilling rig or excavation site. The <br /> working perimeter will be marked by brightly colored delineators. All unauthorized personnel will not be <br /> allowed access into the work space. <br /> The project supervisor will coordinate all field activities and maintain the safest possible working environment <br /> at all times. If an emergency occurs,the supervisor will immediately contact the proper authorities. <br /> 1.1.2 Skin and Head Protection <br /> Disposable suits,boots,and gloves will be worn when the working conditions require such precautions. <br /> Disposable plastic gloves will be worn at all times during soil and groundwater sampling. The gloves will be <br /> changed after each sample has been collected. <br /> Used disposable clothing will be properly discarded at the end of each working day. <br /> Hard hats will be worn during drilling, excavation, and other activities in which potentially dangerous <br /> equipment is being operated within the work space. <br /> 1.1.3 Face and Respiratory Protection <br /> During drilling and excavation activities, the working air space will be periodically monitored with either a <br /> Photo Ionization Detector(PID)or SKC Color-Detector Tubes(Draeger Tubes)for gas and vapor content. The <br /> PID measures the total organic compounds(VOC) vapor concentration while the Detector Tubes measures the <br /> levels of specific compounds in the air being sampled. Monitoring of the working air space shall be <br /> concentrated around the drilling rig and in the down wind direction. <br /> If working air space concentrations exceed the Permissible Exposure Limits, then the workers will wear <br /> respirators with organic vapor cartridges. <br /> If working air space at the perimeter of the working space has levels that exceed the Permissible Exposure <br /> Limits for more then 15 minutes,then the drilling or excavation activity will halt until the concentrations can be <br /> maintained below the Permissible Exposure Limits. <br /> 1.2 Health and Safety Agencies <br /> 1.
