1.0 INTRODUCTION FREY Environmental, Inc. (FREY), has been retained by Mr. Juan Ruvalcaba to additional soil vapor assessment work and vapor extraction pilot testing at the subject property (Site). This document presents the health and safety procedures that are intended to guide field activities at the Site. The provisions of this plan apply to employees of FREY and its subcontractors. Regulatory agencies are expected to observe the safety rules and regulations established by their respective organizations in addition to the requirements of this document. All personnel on Site shall be informed of the Site emergency procedures and any potential fire, explosion, health, or safety hazards of the operation. This plan must be reviewed, and acknowledged,by all personnel prior to entering the exclusion zone. During development of this plan consideration was given to current safety standards as defined by EPA/OSHA/NIOSH, health effects and standards for known contaminants, and procedures designed to account for the potential for exposure to known and unknown substances. Specifically, the following reference sources have been consulted: • OSHA Regulations: 29 CFR 1910 and 1926. • California Code of Regulations,Title 8, Cal/OSHA Standards governing workplace safety. • NIOSH/OSHA/USCG/EPA "Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for hazardous Waste Site Activities". • NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, June 1997. • ACGIH Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Chemical Agents. In addition, to the above referenced documents, FREY has established a comprehensive and realistic Health and Safety Program, based on past experience, sound engineering practice, employee training and enforcement of health and safety regulations to prevent unreasonable health and safety risks. The existing FREY Health and Safety Program will complement this Health and Safety Plan (HASP). This HSAP will be a living document in that it will be continually updated or revised as the Site conditions and knowledge of the operations develop further. FREY as part of the overall Company Health and Safety Program, maintains written individual procedures for the types of hazards/issues that our employees will or could be potentially exposed to. This program will be reviewed / revised on an annual basis or as required by the respective governing OSHA Standard. Each program, insofar as possible, will be maintained as an independent program to avoid situations where it is unclear where responsibilities for given issues belong. Effective implementation of this program requires support from top management to every employee within the company. Written programs will be communicated to personnel that are affected by it through training. FREY Page 2
