CTI FOUR sue hazard Analysis 4.1.13 Heavy Equipment Only authorized personnel will operate equipment. Operators are responsible for the safe operation of equipment. Prior to the start of field operations, the SSO will ensure that every piece of equipment has been inspected, is in safe operating condition, and that a copy of the manufacturer's safety instructions are located at the site. The SSO must also see that each equipment operator has read and understood the manufacturer's safe operating instructions. Operator manuals and safety instructions,with identified equipment, must be maintained with each piece of equipment for the duration of the project. Operators will be responsible for inspecting equipment before each daily use; the inspections will be documented in the project files. Equipment will not be operated until all deficiencies have been corrected. 4.2 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS (SMS 047) Biological hazards that may be encountered at the project work site could include spiders and biting/stinging insects. Personnel will be reminded prior to each day's activities to be aware of these hazards and to take the necessary precautions to avoid them by adhering to safe work practices(e.g., avoid reaching into covered or dark areas or picking up rocks and other objects). Individuals with specific allergies to insects should remember to note this fact to the SSO prior to the start of field activities.A first aid kit will be available to treat minor insect bites and stings. First aid procedures for minor insect bites and stings include: cold applications use of soothing lotions(e.g.,calamine),and for a bee sting,removal of the venom, stinger, and venom sac. If the bite or sting is from a poisonous spider or produces a severe reaction,implement the following procedures: Calm the victim and keep him/her from moving about, preferably in a prone position,and call 911. It is essential to get the victim to a hospital immediately. SMS 047(Biological Hazards)provides appropriate health and safety procedures for these hazards. 4.3 CHEMICAL HAZARDS This work is anticipated to be hazardous waste work as this site is known to have groundwater contamination from aluminum,arsenic,barium,iron,lead,manganese,and nickel.The list of chemical constituents is provided in Table 4-2 along with the information on health hazards,exposure limits, and respiratory protection procedures. The groundwater contains TDS, aluminum,arsenic,barium,iron,lead,manganese,and nickel at concentrations exceeding water quality goals;however,the task to destroy the wells will not have the TABLE 4-1 H:\WPROCESS\25532\WORLDENTERPRISE\WELL DESTRUCTION\ATTACHMENT C WORLD ENTERPRISES HSP TG EDITS.DOC\18-NOV-11\\4-
