6.1 Head Protection <br /> All personnel shall wear a hard hat that meets the requirements and specifications in ANSI Safety <br /> Requirements for Industrial Head Protection Z89.1-1969. Exceptions to this requirement are when <br /> personnel are in eating/break areas. <br /> 6.2 Hand Protection <br /> Outer gloves used on the Site for remedial activities shall be either petroleum resistant or general <br /> purpose. The appropriate outer glove shall be determined for a specific work task. Inner gloves <br /> shall always be petroleum resistant, shall be selected using appropriate degradation guides and <br /> shall be disposed of as PPE waste. Welder's gloves or any other special types of glove are <br /> considered outer gloves and are to be worn over inner gloves. <br /> 6.3 Eye Protection <br /> All personnel at the Site shall wear eye protection at all times.

Petroleum-resistant boots or outer boot covers are <br /> to be worn when necessary. <br /> 6.5 Respiratory Protection <br /> The primary objective of the respiratory protection program shall be to prevent atmospheric <br /> contamination. This shall be accomplished as far as feasible by accepted engineering control <br /> measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and <br /> substitution of less toxic materials and air monitoring). When effective engineering controls are not <br /> feasible, or while they are being instituted, appropriate respirators shall be used. <br /> To control and/or minimize the threat of occupational diseases caused by breathing air contaminated <br /> with harmful dusts,fogs,hones,mists,gases, smokes, sprays,or vapors,respirators shall be provided <br /> to all employees,when such equipment is necessary to protect the health of the employee. <br /> Employees will not be assigned to tasks requiring use of respirators unless it has been determined that <br /> they are physically able to perform the work and use the equipment. A physician shall determine <br /> what health and physical conditions are pertinent. <br /> Only NIOSH approved or accepted respirators shall be used. The respirator furnished shall provide <br /> adequate respiratory protection against the particular hazard for which it is designed. <br /> FREY Page 10 <br />
