Geosynte& <br /> consultants <br /> The task(s) for this project may involve the handling of drums and/or containers that <br /> contain stored chemicals, hazardous materials, and/or wastes. The drums and/or <br /> containers may have been spilled/dislodged during site activities due to compromised <br /> construction of the drum/container, transportation accidents, improper packaging <br /> practices, and improper handling of hazardous materials during on/off loading. <br /> Containers shall be inspected, and their integrity assured prior to being moved and/or <br /> handled.If the integrity of the container is in question,the container shall be over packed, <br /> or its contents transferred. Operations shall be organized and coordinated to minimize <br /> movement of such containers. Where spills, leaks, or ruptures may potentially occur, a <br /> supply of sorbents shall be located in the immediate area. Additional preventative <br /> measures include: <br /> • UN-approved 55-gallon drums, bins, and/or Baker tanks will be inspected for <br /> visible defects upon delivery to the site; <br /> • UN-approved 55-galon drums will also be inspected to ensure each drum includes <br /> a resealable lid with a small resealable sampling port near the top, or on the side <br /> of the drum and that the enclosure is not deformed and/or distorted; <br /> i • Drums will not be completely filled to allow for possible expansion of liquid and <br /> will be set on wooden pallets to facilitate transport by forklift; <br /> • The storage area will be inspected to check for leaks weekly while the containers <br /> are being filled and immediately after relocation to a temporary on-site storage <br /> area; and <br /> • Flat areas will be selected for temporary storage away from high-traffic work <br /> areas/zones and storm/sewer drains. <br /> In the event of an unplanned release or spill of unknown or hazardous substances,the site <br /> ;supervisor will designate personnel who will support the spill containment, control, <br /> and/or clean-up procedures.The team will request additional off-site emergency response <br /> assistance if necessary, based on the type of spill,volume, potential toxicity, etc. <br /> The spill area will be isolated and restricted to only authorized personnel designated to <br /> �ained <br /> ssist with the containment, control, or clean-up activity. Authorized personnel will be <br /> to contain and clean spills from typical materials and quantities used at the project <br /> location. Physical barriers will be set up to warn unauthorized personnel to stay clear and <br /> SAC373 HASP 23 04/2/2026 <br />
