JSA 36: SOIL VAPOR SAMPLING March 30, 2010 Field staff must review job-specific work plan and coordinate with project manager to verify that all up-front logistics are completed prior to starting work including, but not limited to, permitting, access agreements, and notification to required contacts (e.g. site managers, inspectors, clients, subcontractors, etc.). A tailgate safety meeting must be performed and documented at the be•innin. 0 Job Steps of each work da . Weather conditions heat, 0 Personal Protective Equipment cold, rain, li•htnin• must also 0 Potential Hazard be considered. 0 Critical Actions gloves as necessary. control equipment placement. *Adhere to approved Traffic Control Plans when working in roadways. It is the responsibility of the SHSO to annotate the Site Plan with the Traffic Control configuration if an Approved Traffic Control Plan is not available. Assist with set up of rig. Wear reflective vest for traffic, steel toed and shank shoes, hardhat, safety glasses with side shields, leather gloves as necessary. Vehicle accident during rig movement. Damage caused by rig while accessing set-up location. Contact with overhead installations. Soft terrain. Rig movement. All staff should know where the kill switch is for the probing rig. Verify clear pathway to drilling location and clearance for raising mast. Provide as-needed hand signals and guidance to driver to place rig. Visually inspect rig (fire extinguisher on board, no oil or other fluid leaks, associated equipment in good condition, pressurized hoses secured with whip-checks or adequate substitute, jacks in good condition?). If necessary, use wooden blocks under jacks to spread load. Chock wheels. Set up exclusion zone(s) and workstations (probing and logging/sample collection). Wear reflective vest for traffic, steel toed and shank shoes, hardhat, safety glasses with side shields, and leather gloves as necessary. Struck by vehicle during set up. Slip trip and fall hazards. Implement exclusion zone set-up as appropriate for each probing location. Set up workstations with clear walking paths to and from rig. Use safety tape and cones. It is the responsibility of the SHSO to annotate the Site Plan with the exclusion zone configuration. Clear upper five feet of probing location using small diameter hand auger. Don required PPE as appropriate for this step: steel toed and shank shoes, hard hat, safety glasses with side shields, hearing protection, reflective safety vest, leather gloves for the non- chemical aspects of work as necessary. Wear chemical resistant gloves during handling of soil. Wear an air-purifying respirator with combination organic vapor/HEPA P-100 cartridges if necessary. (Use a North 7600 series full face respirator or its equivalent. Best brand nitrile gloves or their equivalent. Howard Leight Max foam earplugs with an NRR of 33 or their equivalent. Tyvek poly coated chemical resistant suit or it's equivalent), Back strain, exposure to chemical hazards, hitting an underground utility, repetitive motion. Initiate air quality monitoring. Stand upwind to avoid exposure whenever possible. Use the organic vapor monitor aggressively to track the airborne concentration of contaminants close to potential sources such as the probe as it is being raised from the hole, the probe is opened, etc. Evaluate any soil samples inside a Ziploc bag at arm's length. DO NOT EVALUATE THE SAMPLE WITH THE BAG OPEN. THIS WILL AVOID UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE. Use proper lifting techniques and tools. Complete the Pre-Drilling section of the Borehole Clearance Review form. Avoid twisting back during the operation; Decontaminate equipment after use. Decontamination will be accomplished by an Alconox wash with tap water rinse followed by a de-ionized or distilled water rinse. Collect wash/rinse water in 5 gallon buckets and transfer to 55-gallon drums and Paper copies are uncontrolled and are valid only at the time of printing.
