TABLE 3

Emergency Procedures Using Air Horn and Hand-Held Radios

In the event of an emergency, communications between the command

post and the clean up operation at the top of the hill will utilize

hand-held radios and an air horn (indicating an emergency).

Emergency Initiating From Co ETUI and Post:

Command post personnel will radio the PCT in the support zone who

in turn will radio the grappler operator. The PCT will then proceed

to sound the air horn in the direction of the clean-up operation. >

After receiving the emergency message, the grappler operator will

Immediately begin driving the grappler toward the drum access road.

The clean-up techs, have been instructed that if they see the grappler

headed for the drum access road, they are to follow (or'escape in a

another direction, based on the wind direction).

Emergency Initiating from the Clean up Area:

The grappler operator will radio the PCT In the support zone who in

turn will radio the command post. The PCT will then proceed to sound

the air horn in the direction of the command post. The command post

will take appropriate actions upon receipt of the message from the PCT.

If the message calls for an evaluation, the grappler operator will

begin driving the unit toward the drum access road. The clean-up

Techs, have been instructed to follow the grappler or escape In

another direction (based on the wind direction) if they see it headedf

for the drum access road.

the air horn in the direction of the command post. The command poat

will take appropriate actions upon receipt of the message from the PCT.

If the message calls for an evaluation, the grappler operator will

begin driving the unit toward the drum access road. The clean-up

Techs, have been instructed to follow the grappler or escape In

another direction (based on the wind direction) if they see it headed

for the drum access road.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The following working activities will be performed:

- Soils excavation, as directed by the OSC

Periodic site walkthroughs during air monitoring

3.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT

This hazard assessment identifies the general hazardsassociated with specific site operations and presents an analysisof documented or potential chemical hazards that exist at thesite. Every effort must be made to reduce or eliminate thesehazards. Those which cannot be eliminated must e guarded againstby use of engineering controls and/or personal protectiveequipment. There are no anticipated hazards which may exist forthe general public under non-emergency conditions.

1.0 Hazards and SOPs Associated with Soil Excavation

HAZARDS

* MOVEMENT OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT

* POSSIBLE INHALATION OF CONTAMINATED DUST OR FUMES(It is not anticipated that the soils are contaminated)

SOPS

* WORKERS SHOULD MAINTAIN VISUAL CONTACT WITH THEOPERATOR

* EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING TRUCKS AND BOBCATS, SHOULD HAVEBACKUP WARNING SYSTEMS

* WEAR APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF PROTECTION

Hazards and SOPS Associated with Hotzone Entry andSite Walkthrough:

HAZARDS

* SKIN CONTACT INHALATION AND INGESTION OF CONTAMINANTS

* SLIP/TRIP/FALL HAZARDS FROM DEBRIS SCATTERED THROUGHOUTTHE SITE AND WITH GENERAL SITE OPERATIONS

SOPS


* USE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF PROTECTION (SEE TABLE 1 )LEVEL OF PROTECTION IS DEPENDENT UPON THE ACTIVITY BEINGCONDUCTED AT THE TIME. CONSULT THE SITE SAFETYCOORDINATOR FOR DETERMINATION OF THE APPROPRIATE LEVELOF PROTECTION.

* DO NOT WEAR WHITE PAPER TYVEK WHILE WORK IS BEINGCONDUCTED WITH LIQUIDS OR WHEN ORGANIC VAPORS AREPRESENT.

* SLIP/TRIP/FALL HAZARDS WILL BE MINIMIZED BY KEEPING ACLEAN ORGANIZED WORK AREA AND BEING ALERT TO HAZARDPOTENTIAL

* TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, OBSERVATIONS SHOULD BE MADE FROMTHE PERIMETER OF WORK AREAS

ADDITIONAL HAZARD

It is anticipated that the work will be conducted in thefall/winter months. Cold stress can therefore be a hazard unlessappropriate preventative measures are followed. Attachment Aincludes detailed information on cold stress.

ditlens under which It Is befleved that neerfy aft workers can bereeeatedty exposed without adverse hearth effects, The TLVobjective is to prevent the deep body core temperature from fart-Ing betow M*C and to prevent cold injury ro body extremities.Deep body temperature tt the core lemperataure of me body asdetermined by rectal temperature measurements. For a smgfe,occasional exposure to a cold environment a drop to owe tem-perature of no tower that 35 *C should be permitted. In additionto provisions for total body protection, the TT.V objective Is to pro-tect all parts of the body with emphasis on .lands, feet and headfrom cold Injury.

IntroductionFatal exposures to cold among workmen have almost always

resulted from accidental exposures involving failure to escapefrom low environmental air temperatures or from Immersion Inlow temperature water. The single most Important aspect of fife-threatening hypothermia is the fall In the deep core temperatureof the body. The clinical presentations of victims of hypothermiaare shown In Tabfe 15 (taken from Oembert In AfP, January 1962).Workmen should be protected from exposure to oofcf so mat medeep core temperature does not fail below 36*C (96.8*F): towerbody temperatures wifl very likely result In reduced rrantal alert*ness, reduction In rational decision making, or loss of conscious-ness with the threat of fatal consequences.

Pain In the extremities may be the first early warning' ofdanger to cold stress. During exposure to cold, majdmCrrj severeshivering develops when the body temperature has fallen to 35 *C(35*F). This must be taken as a sign of danger to the workmenand exposure to cold should be immediately terminated for anyworkman when severe shivering becomes evident Useful phys-ical or mental work Is limited when severe shivering occurs.

Since prolonged exposure to cold air, or to immersion En coldwater, at temperatures well above freezing can lead to danger-ous hypothermia, whole body protection must be provided.1. Adequate Insulating clothing to maintain core temperatures

above 36*C must be provided to workers if work Is performedIn air temperatures below 4*C (40*F). Wind chin* or the cool-Ing power of the air is a critical factor. The higher me windspeed and the lower the temperature in the work area, me

The equivalent chfl tempemure tnouM be ueedwhen estimating the combined cooang enact of wind and lowair temperatures on wpoaed sUn or when oetarrrareng csooVIng Insulation requirements to maintain me deep body coret ernperatuT e.

2. Unless there are unusual or extenuating circumstances co*dInjury to other than hands, feet, and heed la not Ikafy to occurwithout the development of the initial signs of hypothermia.Cider workers or workers with circulatory problems requirespecial precautionary protection against co*d Injury. The useof extra Insulating clothing and/or a reduction In me durationof the exposure period are among the special precautionswhich should be considered. The precautionary actions to be)taken will depend upon the physical condition of me workerand should be determined wtth the advice of a physician wtthknowledge of the cofd stress factors and the medical condVtton of the worker.

EntosfloB and ControlFor exposed skin, continuous exposure should not be per-

mitted when the air speed and temperature results in an equiva-lent chill temperature of -32*C (-2S *F). Superficial or deep localtissue freezing wtfl occur only at temperatures below —1 *C regard*less of wind speed.

At air temperatures of 2*C (39.6'F) or less It Is Imperative,that workers who become immersed In water or whoa* domingbecomes wet be immediately provided a change of dothing andbe treated for hypothermia.

Recommended Bmfts for property domed workers for periodsof work at temperatures below freezing are shown in Table 17.

Notes for Tablt 17: •*•1. Schedule applies to moderate to heavy work activity with warm-up breaks of ten (10) minutes in a warm location. For Light-

to-Moderate Work (limited physical movement): apply the schedule one step lower. For example, at -30"F with no noticeablewind (Step 4), a worker at a job with little physical movement should have a maximum work period of 40 minute* with 4breaks in a 4-hour period (Step 5).

2. The following is suggested as a guide for estimating wind velocity. If accurate information is not available:5 mph: light flag moves; 10 mph: light flag fully extended; 15 mph: raises newspaper sheet; 20 mph: blowing and

* drifting snow.3. If only the Wind Chill Factor is available, a rough rule of thumb for applying it rather than the temperature and wind velocity

factors given above would be: 1) special warm-up breaks should be initiated at a wind chin of about 1750 W/m'/hr, 2) allnon-emergency work should have ceased at or before a wind chill of 2250 W/mi/hr. In general the warm-up schedule pro-vided above slightly tinder-compensates for the wind at the warmer temperatures, assuming acclimatization and clothingappropriate-for winter work. On the other hand, the chart slightly over-compensates for the absolute temperatures in the colderranges, since, windy conditions rarely prevail at extremely low temperatures.
