ES-RR&IH-002 ® Stantec Decontamination Procedures SOP Page 2 of 6 Rev. 2 Jun 2016 • Blood borne pathogens. Some of our sites may have syringes and other drug paraphernalia that must be carefully avoided. • Chemical exposure on sites with open contamination. Respiratory protection may be necessary. Proper selection of respiratory protection is essential and an understanding of its limitation (i.e., negative pressure respiratory protection does not supply oxygen in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere). Staff should familiarize themselves with exposure limits for contaminants of concern. • Use of air monitoring instrumentation will likely be necessary. We must be careful to make sure that our instrumentation is appropriate for the airborne contaminants of interest and that our staff understands the limitations of the instrumentation. Staff must also understand and perform calibration including zeroing with zero gas cylinders and appropriate other calibration gases. • The exclusion and contaminant reduction zones must be properly designed and constructed so that contamination from decontamination activities of equipment and personnel is kept within this area. • Noise and proper use of hearing protection devices such as ear plugs and muffs. • Emergency action plan must be carefully coordinated in advance between Stantec, our subcontractors, the client, and emergency responders. All of these risks and others must be discussed with our subcontractor and clients to be sure they are properly addressed. Once the issues have been addressed at a project management level, they must be communicated to the staff that will actually perform the work. Details of procedures, instrument measurements and calibration, and other activities must be recorded in the field log and/or on data collection forms. 4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES The Project Manager or Task Leader will be responsible for assigning project staff to complete decontamination activities. The Task Leader will also be responsible for assuring that this and any other appropriate procedures are followed by all project personnel.
