2.3 Project Foreman The Project Foreman has operational responsibility for the implementation of the safety program on the project; including establishing an attitude of concern for Safety matters by initiating prompt corrective action of hazards brought to his attention and ensuring that the project health and safety requirements are initiated and followed by all project personnel. The Project Foreman will plan and require that all work be done in compliance with this HASP and the FREY Health and Safety Program, including all applicable local, state and federal regulations. The Project Foreman will impress upon all subcontractors' supervisory personnel a responsibility and accountability of each individual to maintain a safe workplace and work in a safe manner. Conduct a daily"tailgate" safety meeting with Site personnel and subcontractors. 2.4 Work Force It is the responsibility of all employees to work in a manner that will prevent injury and exposure to themselves and to other employees. Every employee is responsible for obeying safety rules and regulations, and reporting unsafe conditions or acts to their supervisors. 3.0 SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS A multitude of health and safety concerns exist at service station sites and other industrial/commercial facilities, any of which can result in serious injuries and/or illnesses to workers. Some hazards are a function of the physical, or chemical nature of the site itself. Others are a direct result of the work being done. The overall health and safety hazard assigned to this project is low to moderate. 3.1 Chemical Hazard The primary chemicals of concern during drilling operations will be petroleum distillate fuels, which are mixtures of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Petroleum distillate fuels possess two(2)intrinsic hazardous properties,namely, flammability and toxicity.The flammable property of the oil and fuels presents a far greater hazard to field personnel than toxicity because it is difficult to protect against and can result in catastrophic consequences. Due to their flammability, the vapors of volatile components of petroleum distillate fuels can be explosive when confined (Phillips, 1996). FREY Page 4
