ES-RR&IH-002 <br /> ® Stantec Decontamination Procedures SOP Page 1 of 6 <br /> Rev. 2 Jun 2016 <br /> 1.0 PURPOSE & APPLICABILITY <br /> The purpose of this document is to define the standard operating procedure (SOP) for <br /> decontamination procedures. The ultimate goal of the decontamination procedure is to <br /> prevent cross-contamination between samples and sample areas and to protect <br /> workers from hazardous materials. <br /> This procedure gives descriptions of equipment and field procedures necessary to <br /> perform decontamination. <br /> This procedure may apply to all sampling by Stantec personnel or their subcontractors by <br /> the aforementioned sampling methods. <br /> It must be recognized that field conditions may force some modifications to the SOP. <br /> Any modification to the procedure shall be approved by the Project Manager or Task <br /> Leader in advance and sufficiently documented so that the reason for the deviation can <br /> be clearly articulated to our clients and regulators, as necessary. Where SOP <br /> modification is planned sufficiently in advance, regulatory agency concurrence will be <br /> sought prior to conducting the specific activity. <br /> 2.0 DEFINITIONS <br /> FSP Field Sampling Plan <br /> HASP Health and Safety Plan <br /> OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Administration <br /> QA/QC Quality Assurance/Quality Control <br /> QAPP Quality Assurance Project Plan <br /> SOP Standard Operating Procedure <br /> WP (Project) Work Plan <br /> 3.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS <br /> Consideration of Health and Safety risks prior to performing this work is paramount. This <br /> risk review may be performed by modifying a generic or an existing Job Safety Analysis in <br /> the HASP. Following is a short list of the items for consideration. Careful review of these <br /> items and other site-specific conditions by the project team is essential. <br /> • Traffic guidance and control. Even plans developed by outside traffic control <br /> contractors need to be carefully evaluated to make sure they are protective of our <br /> staff and contractors. <br /> • Personal protective equipment, including hard hats, high-visibility traffic vest, gloves, <br /> appropriate clothing. <br /> • Heat and cold stress. <br /> • Biological hazards such as insects and spiders. Appropriate clothing is required such <br /> as long-sleeved shirts and long pants. <br /> THIS INFORMATION FOR AUTHORIZED COMPANY USE ONLY <br /> STANTEC CONSULTING <br />
