The safety organization and procedures have been established based on an analysis of potential hazards, and personnel protection measures have been selected in response to this analysis. This H&S Plan will be implemented and followed by IT Corporation (IT) personnel during the work activities at the L'Henri, Inc. located in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. 1.2 Facility and Location Description L'Henri, Inc. site is an operating dry cleaning establishment located on Highway 38. Four monitoring wells exist on the site in various locations which include an area near the dry cleaning facility, an area in the parking lot, and a vegetated area behind the facility. The facility utilized solvents for dry cleaning operations such as perchloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and 1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE). Contamination of the site was a result the processes at the site and preliminary investigative work surveys have indicated that most of the PCE contamination is located in the vicinity of soil boring SS1 which is near the southwest corner of the laundry building. 1.3 Policy Statement It is the policy of IT to provide a safe and healthful work environment for all its employees. IT considers no phase of operations or administration to be of greater importance than injury and illness prevention. Safety takes precedence over expediency or shortcuts. At IT we believe every accident and every injury is preventable. We will take every reasonable step to reduce the possibility of injury, illness, or accident. This H&S Plan prescribes the procedures that must be followed during the activities at L'Henri, Inc. Operational changes which could affect the health or safety of personnel, the community, or the environment will not be made without the prior approval of the IT Project Manager (PM), and the Project H&S Coordinator. The provisions of this plan are mandatory for all IT personnel assigned to the project.

KN/1720/WP1720.2/02-22-95(9:36«n)/Dl/NE 2-2 TUT OO5 1.249 3.0 Job Hazard Analysis The Job Hazard Analysis identifies potential safety, health, and environmental hazards and provides for the protection of personnel, the community, and the environment. Because of the complexity and constant change of remedial projects, supervisors must continually inspect the work site to identify hazards which may harm FT site personnel, the community, or the environment. The PM must be aware of these changing conditions and discuss them with the H&S Coordinator. The PM will keep contractors informed of the changing conditions. The H&S Coordinator will write addenda to change the Job Hazard Analysis and associated hazard controls as necessary. 3.1 Scope of Work The scope of work is perform excavation and sampling activities at the L'Henri, Inc. site. Soils in the vicinity of soil boring SS1 will be excavated to depths of approximately 7 feet. The soil volume estimate to be removed is 1,575 cubic feet (ft3) approximately 15 feet (ft) by 15 ft by 7 ft. The excavation will be limited by safety considerations or physical limitations imposed by the nearby building. The excavated soil will be stockpiled within an envelope of 4 millimeter (mm) plastic sheeting surrounded by a locked security fence. 3.2 Job Hazard Assessment 3.2.1 Physical Hazards Anticipated physical hazards of concern: • Fall, trip, slip • Heat (high ambient temperature) • Ultraviolet radiation • Noise • Excavation hazards • Heavy equipment • Material handling. The primary safety hazards for this project are associated with the excavation and operation of heavy equipment. In addition to the primary safety hazards, work activities may pose additional physical hazards such as heat stress, sunburn and hearing impairment. KN/1720/WP1770.3/02-23-»(9:54mi)/Dl/NE 3-1 TUT 005 125O Heat Stress. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) may put site personnel at considerable risk of heat stress. Heat stress effects range from transient heat fatigue to serious illness and death. Heat stress is caused by a number of interacting factors, including environmental conditions, clothing, workload, and the individual characteristics of the worker. Because heat stress is fairly common during late spring, summer and fall, preventive measures and alertness to the symptoms are vital. Heat stress monitoring should commence when personnel are wearing PPE, including Tyvek coveralls, and the ambient temperature exceeds 70 degrees Fahrenheit f F). If impermeable garments are not worn, heat stress monitoring should commence at 85T. Ultraviolet Radiation. Field operations will be conducted in direct sunlight, which may result in sunburn. Lotions/creams that reduce the effects of the sun's rays are to be worn be employees performing activities at the site. Excavation. The primary hazards of excavation activities for the purpose of sampling (i.e., test pit sampling) or remediation (i.e., removal of contaminated materials for subsequent disposal) include potential cave-ins due to heavy equipment operation or changing soil/weather conditions, slip/trip/fall hazards related to equipment handling and/or uneven or unstable surfaces, and excessive noise from on-site equipment. Entry of personnel into site excavations presents additional potential hazards of confined- space entry. Potential hazards associated with confined-space entry include the following: the possible buildup of toxic, combustible, or oxygen-deficient/enriched atmospheres; uneven/slippery surfaces; the possibility of liquids or gases being admitted into the space during occupancy; or the physical isolation of the employee(s) when in need of rescue. A detailed discussion of hazard control procedures for excavation safety and confined-space entry is presented in Section 4.2.1. Material Handling. Field operations consist of the collection soil samples for subsequent analysis and collection of decontamination water in salvage drums. The physical hazards of these operations are not potentially serious; however, strains/sprains may result from improper body alignment or excessive lifting. KN/]72(WWPI720.3«2-23-95(9J4«nVDl/NE 3-2 TUT 005 1251 3.2.2 Chemical Hazards The chemical hazards associated with sampling operations at the L'Henri, Inc (Table 1) arc related to inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact with contaminated soils and water (see Section 1.2). The site-specific Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are included in Appendix B. Some analytical results from previous contaminant investigations arc indicated below: • Concentrations of PCE at SS1 were approximately 5.4 pans per million (ppm) at soil depths from 2.5 to 4.0 ft; 59 ppm at soil depths 4 to 6 ft; decreasing concentration as soil depth from 6 ft increased; and non-detected greater than 19 ft depth. • Concentrations of PCE at SB 11 were approximately 0.03 ppm at soil depths from 0 to 2 ft. • Concentrations of PCE at SB 13 were approximately 0.2 ppm at soil depths 4 to 6ft. • Concentrations of PCE at SB13A were approximately 0.02 ppm at soil depths 0 to 2 ft. 3.2.3 Noise Noise exposure at or above the OSHA action level (85 decibels [dBA]) is likely during all excavation and heavy equipment operations. Exposure to noise levels in excess of 90 dBA, the OSHA permissible exposure limits (PEL) for noise, is likely during any excavation operations involving heavy equipment. A hearing conservation program is required for excavation projects. Exposure to noise over the OSHA action level can cause temporary impairment of hearing; prolonged and repeated exposure can cause permanent damage to hearing. The risk and severity of hearing loss increases with the intensity and duration of exposure to noise. In addition to damaging hearing, noise can impair voice communication; thereby, increasing the risk of accidents on site.

Should a snake bite occur, attempts should be made to kill the snake for positive identification. The victim should be transported to the nearest hospital within 30 minutes; first aid consists of applying a con- striction band, washing the area around the wound to remove any unabsorbed venom, and omit cutting and sucking (unless medical care cannot be obtained within 30 minutes). Snake venoms are complex and include proteins, some of which have enzymatic activity. The effects produced by venoms include neurotoxic effects with sensory, motor, cardiac, and respiratory difficulties; cytotoxic effects on red blood cells, blood vessels, heart muscle, kidneys, and lungs; defects in coagulation, and effects from local release of substances by enzymatic actions. Other noticeable effects of snake bites include swelling, edema and pain around the bite, and the development of ecchymosis (the escape of blood into tissues from ruptured blood vessels). 3.3.2 Insects All IT personnel should be aware of the potential presence of deer ticks during the months of April through October. Precautionary methods include familiarity with the signs/symptoms and potential health hazards of Lyme disease, and the proper implementation of appropriate work practices. During the months of April through October, particular caution must be exercised to prevent being bitten by ticks and potentially contracting Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Fever, and other tick borne diseases. Specific precautions include: • Cover your body as much as possible. Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Light color clothing makes spotting of ticks easier. • Try to eliminate possible paths by which the deer tick may reach unprotected skin. For example, tuck bottoms of pants into socks or boots and sleeves into gloves. (Duct tape may be utilized to help seal cuffs and ankles.) If heavy concentrations of ticks or insects are anticipated or encountered, Tyvek coveralls may be utilized. • Conduct periodic and frequent (e.g., hourly) surveys of your clothing for the presence of ticks. Remove any ticks/insects that become attached to clothing. KN/1720/WP1720.3/02-23-9S(9:54im)/Dl/NE 3-4 TUT 005 1254 • Use insect/tick repellents that contain the chemical DEET (n,n-diethyltoluamide). Apply repellents in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations. These repellents arc readily available and include such brands as Deep Woods OFF and Maximum Strength OFF. Check the ingredients of the repellent, as the higher the concentration of DEET, the longer the repellent will be effective. IT field personnel should check with the PM to ensure use of insect repellents will not interfere with sample collection procedures. 3.3.3 Buried Sharp Objects Although the potential biological hazards associated with this project are not anticipated to be significant, on-site personnel should be aware of potential bacterial/viral infections (e.g., tetanus) through ingestion following skin contact, or from puncture wounds sustained from stepping on or handling buried sharp objects. 3.3.4 Poisonous Plants If sample points arc located in areas where poisonous plants may be encountered, personnel should wear long pants, long sleeves, and gloves to minimize the possibility of exposure. In some areas, the use of a Tyvek or other protective suit may be advisable. KN/1720/WP1720.3A)2-23-95(9A4m)/D]/NE 3-5 TUT OO5 1255 4.0 Safety Program and Procedures The following work practices will be observed during all rite activities. 4.1 General Practices • At least one copy of this plan shall be available at the project site, in a location readily available to all IT personnel. • As practical, IT personnel should practice contamination avoidance. All solid and liquid samples should be collected in such a manner as to minimize contact with the material. • Contaminated protective equipment, such as respirators, hoses, boots, etc., shall not be removed from the area of potential contamination until it has been cleaned or properly packaged and labeled. • Legible and understandable precautionary labels which comply with the hazard communication standard shall be affixed prominently to all containers of con- taminated scrap, waste, debris, and clothing. • Removal of contaminated solids from protective clothing or equipment by blowing, shaking, or any other means that disperse contaminants into the air is prohibited. • No food or beverages shall be present or consumed in the regulated area. • No tobacco products shall be present or used in the regulated area. • Cosmetics shall not be applied within the regulated area. • Contaminated materials shall be stored in tightly closed containers, in well-ventilated areas. • Emergency equipment shall be located outside storage areas in readily accessible locations that will remain minimally contaminated in an emergency. • All areas that have been determined as uncontaminated inside the regulated area will be clearly marked as such. No IT personnel, equipment, etc., shall be in these areas until they have been decontaminated. • Ensure that no one is required to lift more than 60 pounds. Drums and con- tainers shall be moved only with proper equipment, and shall be secured to prevent dropping or loss of control during transport. KN/1720/WP17204Att-21-9S(10OO«myDl/NE 4-1 TUT 005 1256 Operations shall be organized to minimize the amount of drum and container movement. Standing upon or working from drums or containers is prohibited. Only U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT)-approved drums or con- tainers will be used onsite. All IT personnel on site shall use the buddy system (working in pairs or teams). If protective equipment or noise levels impair communications, then prearranged hand signals shall be used for communication. Visual contact shall be main- tained between crew members at all times, and crew members must observe each other for signs of toxic exposure. Indication of adverse effects include, but are not limited to: - Changes in complexion and skin coloration - Changes in coordination - Changes in demeanor - Excessive salivation and pupillary response - Changes in speech pattern. Employees shall inform their partners or fellow team members of nonvisible effects of overexposure to toxic materials. The symptoms of such overexposure may include: - Headaches - Dizziness - Nausea - Blurred vision - Cramps - Irritation of eyes, skin, or respiratory tract. 4.2 Operating Procedures Excavation Safety IT Procedure HS307 for excavation and trenching found in Appendix C must be followed. No persons shall be allowed to enter into any excavation greater than 5 ft deep. If persons will enter excavations greater than 5 ft deep, the excavation must be shored, sloped, or otherwise made safe for entry. Personnel are urged to use remote sampling techniques whenever possible. When entry is unavoidable, the IT Procedure HS300 for confined-space entry found in Appendix D must be followed for each such activity. Shoring or sloping system must be designed by a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) licensed in the state in which the excavation will take place. The design must be present at the site, and the system must be installed as designed. KN/1720/WP1720.4A>2-21-»5<lO:00«myDl/NE 4-2 TUT OO5 1257 All excavation shall be performed from a stable ground position. Daily inspections of the excavation shall be made by a competent person, one who has received training in excavation safety. The inspector shall determine the likelihood of a cave-in, and remedial action (RA) such as sloping or shoring shall be taken if the walls appear to be unstable. All spoil shall be located at least 2 ft from the edge of the excavation to prevent it from falling back into the excavation. The excavation shall be guarded on all sides by barricades or caution tape at least 2 ft from the edge. All project personnel shall participate in the daily tailgate safety meetings and be instructed on the following requirements: • Before excavating, the existence and location of underground pipe, electrical equipment, and gas lines will be determined. This will be done, if possible, by contacting the appropriate utility company and/or client representative to mark the location of the lines. If the client's knowledge of the area is incomplete, an appropriate device, such as a cable avoiding tool, will be used to locate the service line. • No ignition sources are permitted if the ambient airborne concentration of flammable vapors exceeds 10 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) during the excavation. A combustible gas indicator will be used to make this deter- mination. • Operations must be suspended and the area vented if the airborne flammable concentration reaches 10 percent of the LEL in the area of an ignition source (i.e., sparks from bucket of excavator). • Combustible gas reading of the general work area will be made regularly. • If excavating equipment is located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, a distance of 15 ft must be maintained between the lines and any point on the equipment. If the lines have appreciable sag, or if windy conditions exist, this distance shall be 20 ft. 4.2.2 Confined-Space Entry The collection of post excavation samples may require personnel to enter an excavation. IT personnel are urged to use remote sampling techniques whenever possible. When entry is unavoidable, the requirements as specified in Section 12 for confined-space entry must be followed for each such activity. KN/1720/Wpl720.4A)2-22-95(9:37iin)/Dl/NE 4-3 TUT O05 1258 A confined space is defined as having limited means of egress due to location, size, or number of openings, and has unfavorable natural ventilation. Contaminated soil excavations may pose additional hazards such as air contamination, flammable or explosive atmosphere, and oxygen deficiency. IT has detailed training for confined-space entry, and only IT personnel properly trained shall supervise and participate in confined-space entry procedures. All IT personnel entering a confined space shall be trained in proper procedures and the use of PPE. Only properly trained persons shall initiate confined-space entry procedures, perform tests on confined spaces, and authorize entry. The procedures for such entry are: • The confined space must be isolated to prevent the introduction of contaminants during entry. • Mechanical ventilation may be necessary to purge the space of vapors and ensure sufficient oxygen supply. • The confined space shall be tested prior to entry. Tests shall be performed to determine the level of oxygen, flammable vapors, and toxic contaminants. Tests shall be repeated as often as necessary to ensure the safety of personnel entering the confined space. • No entry shall be occur in a space where conditions are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). Examples are oxygen less than 20 percent, greater than 10 percent LEL. • Proper protective clothing and respiratory protective equipment shall be used for confined-space entry (Chapter 5). • IT personnel entry into any excavation 5 ft deep or greater is only permitted if the walls are properly shored or sloped. A ladder shall be provided and placed at an angle not more than 30 degrees from vertical, and secured as necessary. Ladder side rails shall extend at least 3 ft above the ground surface. 4.3 Heat Illness Prevention 4.3.1 Heat Stress One or more of the following control measures can be used to help control heat stress and are mandatory if any IT worker has a heart rate (measure immediately prior to rest period) in excess of 110 beats per minute: KN/1720/WP1720.4A>2-21-9SOO:00«myDl/NE 4-4 TUT OO5 .1.25CP • IT workers will be encouraged to drink plenty of water throughout the day. They will be advised to slightly increase their salt intake by lightly salting their food. • On-site drinking water will be kept cool (50 to 60*F) to encourage IT personnel to drink frequently. • A work regimen that will provide adequate rest periods for cooling down will be established, as required. • All IT personnel will be advised of the dangers and symptoms of heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps. • Cooling devices such as vortex tubes or cooling vests should be used when FT personnel must wear impermeable clothing in conditions of extreme heat. • IT employees should be instructed to monitor themselves and coworkers for signs of heat stress and to take additional breaks as necessary. • A shaded rest area must be provided. All breaks should take place in the shaded rest area. • FT employees shall not be assigned to other tasks during breaks. • IT employees shall remove impermeable garments during rest periods. This includes white Tyvek-type garments. • All IT employees shall be informed of the importance of adequate rest, acclima- tion, and proper diet in the prevention of heat stress disorders. The signs of heat stress disorders are given below. Heat Cramps. Heat cramps are caused by heavy sweating and inadequate electrolyte replacement. Signs and symptoms include muscle spasms and pain in the hands, feet, and abdomen. Heat Exhaustion. Heat exhaustion occurs from increased stress on various body organs. Signs and symptoms include: • Pale, cool, moist skin • Heavy sweating • Dizziness, nausea • Fainting. KN/1720/WP1720>«/D2-21-95(l(K)(kmyDl/fJE 4-5 TUT OO5 1260 Heat Stroke. Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat stress and should always be treated as a medical emergency. The body's temperature regulation system fails, and the body temperature rapidly rises to critical levels. Immediate action must be taken to cool the body before serious death or injury occurs. Signs and symptoms of heat stroke include: • Red, hot, usually dry skin • Lack of, or reduced perspiration • Nausea • Dizziness and confusion • Strong, rapid pulse and confusion • Coma. 4.4 Hearing Conservation All on-site IT personnel shall wear hearing protection, with a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of at least 20, when noise levels exceed 85 dBA. All FT personnel who may be exposed to noise shall also receive baseline and annual audiograms and training as to the causes and prevention of hearing loss. Noise monitoring is discussed in Chapter 8.0. Whenever possible, equipment that does not generate excessive noise levels will be selected for this project. If the use of noisy equipment is unavoidable, wherever possible, barriers, or increased distance will be used to minimize worker exposure to noise. 4.5 Sanitation 4.5.1 Potable Water The following rules apply for all project field operations: • An adequate supply of potable water will be provided at each work site. • Portable containers used to dispense drinking water shall be capable of being tightly closed, and shall be equipped with a tap dispenser. Water shall not be drunk directly from the container. • Containers used for drinking water shall be clearly marked and not used for any other purpose • Disposable cups will be supplied; both a sanitary container for unused cups and a receptacle for disposing of used cups shall be provided. KN/172D/WP1720.4A>2-21-9S(10:00«n>yDl/NE 4-6 TUT GO5 1261 4.5.2 Non-potable Water Outlets for non-potable water shall be identified to cleariy indicate that the water is unsafe and is not to be used for drinking, washing, or cooking purposes. There shall be no cross connection (open or potential) between potable and nonpotable water systems. Non-potable and potable water systems shall be separated so as to minimize confusion and possible cross contamination. 4.5.3 Toilet Facilities Toilet facilities shall be available for employees as follows: Number of Employees Minimum Number of Facilities 20 or fewer One More than 20, fewer than 200 One toilet seat and one urinal More than 200 One toilet seat and one urinal per 40 employees If permanent toilet facilities are not available (at sites more than 500 ft from a building with an accessible toilet), then a portable chemical toilet(s) will be provided. 4.5.4 Trash Collection Trash collected from the contamination reduction zone (CRZ) will be separated as routine hazardous waste. Trash collected in the support and break areas will be disposed of as nonhazardous waste. Labeled trash receptacles will be set up in the CRZ and in the support zone. KNA720/WP1720^A>2-21-95(l(M»«myDl/NE 4-7 TUT OO5 1262 5.0 Personal Protective Equipment Based upon the job hazard analysis, it is expected that IT personnel will utilize Level D protective clothing for excavation of the first 4 ft if air monitoring results do not exceed the action levels specified in Table 2. Level C will be worn by IT personnel in the immediate vicinity where air monitoring readings arc above the action level. Level C or Level B protective clothing may be required for entry into excavations or other operations depending upon the levels of contaminants as measured at the time of entry. It is anticipated that ventilation of any confined spaces will result in atmospheres with no hazardous levels of contaminants. If conditions warrant higher levels of protection, site work will be suspended until such conditions can be rectified. When working at the site, IT personnel must wear ultraviolet radiation protective lotions/creams to prevent sunburn. 5.1 Levels of Protection 5.1.1 Level D The minimum level of protective equipment to be worn on site during this project is: • Hard hat, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved • Safety glasses, ANSI approved • Steel-toed boots or shoes, ANSI approved If noise levels exceed 85 dBA, then hearing protection with a U.S. EPA NRR of at least 20 dBA shall be used. 5.1.2 Level C Level C protection may only be used when contaminants can be evaluated or controlled, oxygen is at least 20 percent, and LEL is less than 10 percent. Level C protection for this project will consist of the following: • Hard hat, ANSI approved • Safety glasses, ANSI approved • NIOSH-approved, full-face air purifying respirator with NIOSH-approved cartridges for dust and organic vapors • Steel-toed neoprene boots or overbooties • Nitrile gloves KN/1720/WP1720.5A)2-22-95(9:37«m)/D2/NE 5-1 TUT OO5 1263 Table 2 PPE Selection Matrix L'Henri Airborne Contaminant Action Levels Parameter Reading Above Background Required Action Flammable vapors (LEL) <10% LEL >10% LEL Normal operations Stop work; ventilate area; investigate source of vapors Total Hydrocarbons <5ppm 5 to 50 ppm iSOppm Normal operations Stop work; don Level C PPE Stop work; evacuate area; investigate cause of reading KN/1720/WP17M.TB2»l-2S-95/DO/NE TUT OO5 1264 • Double polyethylene coated Tyvek hooded coveralls • Full tape of ankles, wrists, and hood 5.1.3 Level B Level B protection will be used for all work where atmospheres contain contaminants in excess of 10 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or for confined space entry.

When used, the respirator will be thoroughly cleaned at the end of the work shift. The respirator will be stored in a clean plastic bag. 5.3 Using Personal Protective Equipment Depending upon the level of protection selected for this project, specific donning and doffing procedures may or may not be required. The following procedures are mandatory if Level C or higher PPE is selected. All IT persons entering the EZ shall put on the required PPE in accordance with the re- quirements of this plan. When leaving the EZ, PPE will be removed in accordance with the procedures listed, in order to minimize the spread of contamination. 5.3.1 Donning Procedures These procedures are mandatory, only if Level C or higher PPE is required for the project: • Remove bulky outerwear. Remove street clothes and store in clean location. • Put on disposable or IT issue (and laundered) work clothes or coveralls. • Put on the required chemical protective coveralls or rain gear. • Put on chemical protective boots or boot covers. • Tape the legs of the coveralls to the boots with duct tape. • Put on chemical protective gloves as required by the H&S plan. • Tape the wrists of the protective coveralls to the gloves. • Don respirator if required, and perform appropriate fit check. • Put hood or head covering over head and respirator straps. Tape the hood to the face of the respirator. • Don remaining PPE, such as safety glasses or goggles and hard hat. If these procedures are instituted, one person shall remain outside the work area to ensure that each person entering has the proper protective equipment. No persons shall be allowed to enter an EZ if they are not wearing the required PPE. KN/1720/WP1720J/02-22-95(9:37im)/D2/NE 5-3 TUT 005 1266 5.3.2 Doffing Procedures The following procedures are only mandatory if Level C or higher PPE is required for this project. Whenever a IT person leaves a Level C or higher work site, the following decon- tamination sequence will be followed: • Upon entering the CRZ, rinse contaminated materials from the boots or remove contaminated boot covers. • Clean reusable protective equipment. • Remove protective garments, equipment, and respirator. All disposable clothing should be placed in plastic bags, which are labeled with contaminated waste labels. • Wash face and neck. • Proceed to clean area and dress in clean clothing. • Clean and disinfect respirator for next use. • Proceed to the sign-out point. All disposable equipment, garments, and PPE shall be bagged in two 6 mil plastic bags, properly labeled for disposal. 5.4 Selection Matrix The level of personal protection selected will be based upon real-time air monitoring of the work environment and an assessment by the Site Supervisor of the potential for skin contact with contaminated materials. The PPE selection matrix is given in Table 2. KN/1720/WP1720.5A>2-22-95(9:37iinVD2/NE 5-4 TUT O05 1267 6.0 Site Control Only IT personnel who have completed 40 hours of hazardous waste operations as defined under OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.120, have completed their 40-hour training or refresher training within the past 12 months, and have been certified as fit for hazardous waste operations by a physician within the past 12 months shall be allowed within a site area designated as the work zone. IT personnel without such training may not enter the designated work zone. The Site Supervisor will maintain a list of authorized IT persons. 6.1 Hazard Brief ing No IT person will be allowed on any IT field sites during site operations without first being given a site hazard briefing. In general, the briefing will consist of a review of the tailgate safety meeting. All IT persons on the site, including visitors, must sign the site-specific tailgate safety meeting form. 6.2 Documentation of Certification A training and medical file will be established for the project and kept on site during all site operations. The 40-hour training, update, and specialty training (first-aid/cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR]) certificates, as well as the current annual medical clearance for all project field personnel, will be maintained within that file. All IT personnel must provide their training and medical documentation to the Site Supervisor prior to the start of field work. 6.3 Entry Log The IT representative at the site shall record on their Field Activity Daily Log (FADL) all visitors to the site. The log will be incorporated into the project file. 6.4 Entry Requirements In addition to the entry requirements listed above, no IT personnel will be allowed on any IT field site unless they are wearing the minimum PPE as described in Chapter 5.0. IT person- nel entering the work zone must wear the required PPE for those locations. KN/1720/WP1720.6»2-22-95(9:38*ni)/Dl/NE6-1 TUT OOb 1268 7.0 Decontamination Contamination control will be maintained in the immediate work area where there is a potential for chemical contaminants to escape to the immediate environment. This control may consist of several techniques that will prevent loss of contamination control. Techniques include establishing a plastic- or paper-covered laydown area adjacent to the sampling point, wearing of PPE, establishing a control boundary by using rope or tape, and implementing other techniques that are readily recognized by client procedures. 7.1 Personnel Decontamination Once clear of the area, the IT workers should wash exposed skin surfaces (e.g., hands and face) with soap and water to remove any contaminants. 7.2 Equipment Decontamination Any equipment which have been utilized in contaminated areas will be decontaminated prior to leaving the work zone. If the level of contamination anticipated is low, decontamination for vehicles will be limited to rinsing of tires with water. For sites with significant levels of contamination, steam cleaning or pressure washing of vehicles and equipment will be required. 7.3 Personal Protective Equipment Decontamination Where and whenever possible, single use, external protective clothing shall be used for work within the EZ or contamination reduction zone (CRZ). This protective clothing shall be disposed of in marked containers. Depending upon subsequent analysis, that protective clothing may require disposal as hazardous waste. Reusable protective clothing will be rinsed at the site with detergent and water. The rinsate will be collected for possible disposal as hazardous waste. Respiratory protective equipment will be wiped with a damp cloth while in the CRZ and bagged. Once the respirator has been removed from the CRZ, it will be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water. The respirator face piece will be cleaned at the end of each work shift.

The levels of organic vapors in the work area will be monitored using a total organics vapors monitoring unit (HNU) PI-101 photoionization analyzer, or equivalent. Combustible gas readings shall be conducted in the areas of sampling or excavating if flammable contaminants are anticipated. Integrated air samples, if collected, will be analyzed through an IT industrial hygiene (ffl) laboratory and/or other equally accredited American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) laboratories. The specific number of samples and turnaround times will vary and are dependent upon operation requirements and site-specific activities. 8.1.1 Locations to be Monitored All personal, integrated air monitoring samples and direct reading instrumentation readings taken for the purpose of determining appropriate H&S precautions shall be collected/taken in the approximate "breathing zone" of the IT employees (i.e., readings should be taken at the approximate head-height of the IT employee closest to the sample location or other suspected source of contamination). If integrated air samples are to be collected, the H&S Representative will be responsible for selecting appropriate individuals anticipated to be at highest risk for potential inhalation of airborne contaminants. All area, integrated air monitoring samples shall be taken from a fixed position at the approximate "breathing zone" height. The H&S Representative shall be responsible for the specific location of these sampling devices, based on prevailing environ- mental and site conditions and site activities. 8.1.2 Frequency Continuous or intermittent area monitoring will be required for this project during intrusive work activities (if intermittent, at least every half-hour during intrusive activities). The monitoring equipment will be positioned at approximately "breathing zone" height to estimate personnel exposure. Readings shall be collected where employees are located near the KN/1720/WP1720.»y02-23-95(9J5un)/D2/NE 8-1 TUT excavation and recorded on the IT real-time air monitoring log, Field Activity Daily log fonn, or equivalent to document potential employee exposures. If used, personal, integrated air monitoring samples shall be collected during the first full day of site remediation/sampling operations. The H&S Representative in consultation with the Site Supervisor will be responsible for identifying a day that is anticipated to be indicative of proposed continued operations for the specific site. All samples should be full-shift samples (i.e., collected over at least six hours during the course of site operations) and analyzed within a 24- to 48-hour period. Based on these initial results, the frequency of additional sample collection and analysis will be determined, and the appropriate level of personal protection will be prescribed. 8.1.3 Air Monitoring Equipment The following equipment will be available for utilization if required: • HNU Model PI-101 photoionization detector (PID), or equivalent • Method of standard addition (MSA) combustible gas and oxygen indicator, or equivalent All equipment shall be maintained in such quantity and condition to adequately monitor and assess all site operations. 8.1.4 Monitoring Equipment Maintenance and Calibration All IT HNU PIDs will be calibrated in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. Preventive maintenance and repairs will be conducted in accordance with the respective manufacturers' procedures. All other IT air monitoring equipment (e.g., combustible gas/oxygen meters and aerosol monitors) will be maintained and calibrated in accordance with the specific manufacturers' procedures. All personal sampling pumps shall be calibrated in accordance with OSHA sampling protocols and NIOSH methods for the analyte of interest. All direct reading instrumentation calibrations should be conducted under the approximate environmental conditions the instrument will be used. All air monitoring equipment calibra- tions and maintenance activities shall be documented on the IT field activity daily log KN/1720/WP1720.»/02-23-9S(9:55iniVD2/NE 8-2 TUT 005 1271 (FADL), or equivalent. All completed H&S documentation/forms shall be reviewed by the Project H&S Coordinator and maintained by the Site Supervisor. If an instrument is found to be inoperative or suspected of giving erroneous readings, the IT H&S Representative shall be responsible for immediately removing the instrument from service and obtaining a replacement unit. The specific IT operation for which this equipment is essential shall cease until an appropriate replacement unit is obtained. The H&S Represen- tative will be responsible for ensuring a replacement unit is obtained and/or repairs arc initiated on the defective equipment. When applicable, only manufacturer-trained and/or authorized IT personnel will be allowed to perform instrument repairs or preventive maintenance (e.g., repairs on the hydrogen handling or electrical components of an organic vapor analyzer [OVA]). 8.2 Noise Monitoring Noise monitoring is not anticipated on this project, however it may be performed if noise levels in the speech-interfering level are encountered. 8.3 Heat Stress Heat stress monitoring shall be initiated whenever ambient temperatures on site exceed 85"F. At the discretion of the Project H&S Coordinator, environmental and/or physiologic moni- toring will be carried out. Monitoring and interpretation of monitoring results will be in accordance with IT Procedure HS400, "Working in Hot Environments," and Section 4.0 of this plan. 8.4 Safety Review The Site Supervisor will conduct frequent site safety inspections (no less than once per week). Management safety reviews will be recorded on Safety Inspection Report Forms and will be forwarded to the responsible business unit management for review. The Site Supervisor will record the inspection results on the Safety Inspection Report. 8.5 Monitoring Records The PM shall ensure that site monitoring records are complete and incorporated into the project file. Any personnel or area air monitoring results will be incorporated into the host office H&S files. The host office H&S Coordinator will be responsible for establishing, KN/1720/WP1720.»/02-23-9S(9:55tni)/D2/NE 8-3 TUT CO5 maintaining, and forwarding to other IT offices (as necessary) all required monitoring information as described below for placement in individual employee files: • Employee name, social security number, payroll number • The date, time, pertinent task information, exposure information • Description of the analytical methods, equipment used, and calibration data • Type of PPE worn • Engineering controls used to reduce exposure. 8.6 Notification Within five working days after receipt of monitoring results, the project H&S staff and the host office H&S staff will ensure that each employee is informed in writing of the results which represent that employee's exposure. Monitoring results representative of an em- ployee's exposure shall be reported to the affected employee on the IT Employee Notification of Industrial Hygiene Monitoring Results Form. Whenever the results indicate that the representative employee exposure exceeds the PEL, the Employee Notification of Industrial Hygiene Monitoring Results Form shall state that the PEL was exceeded, and shall provide a description of the corrective action taken to reduce exposure to a level below the PEL.

IT employees hired prior to 1985 are not required to submit to drug screening. Chest X-rays are taken every third year. The medical and occupational history is updated with each examination. 10.1.3 Exit Examination IT employees receive an exit examination upon leaving the company if they have not been examined within the previous six months. The exit examination consists of the annual examination without drug screen. The employee's immediate supervisor is to notify the home office H&S Assistant within a reasonable time before the termination to allow for the necessary arrangements. 10.2 First-Aid and Medical Treatment All IT persons on site must report any near-miss incident, accident, injury, or illness to their immediate supervisor or the Field Supervisor. First aid will be provided by the designated site first aider. Injuries and illnesses requiring medical treatment will be accompanied by an "Authorization for Treatment" Form. The IT employee's supervisor or the Field Supervisor will complete the "Supervisor's Employee Injury Report" and conduct an accident investiga- tion as soon as emergency conditions no longer exist and first-aid and/or medical treatment has been rendered. The investigation should follow the Accident/Injury Investigation Report. These two reports must be completed and submitted to the H&S Coordinator within 24 hours after the incident. If first-aid treatment is required, first-aid kits are kept at the CRZ and in all IT vehicles. If treatment beyond first aid is required, the injured should be transported to the medical facility shown in Appendix D. If the injured is not ambulatory or shows any sign of not being in a comfortable and stable condition for transport, then an ambulance/paramedics should be summoned. If there is any doubt as to the injured worker's condition, it is best to let the local paramedic or ambulance service examine and transport the worker.

Supple- mentary procedures are included in this section to address extraordinary conditions that might occur at the site. 11.1 General The Site Supervisor will establish evacuation routes and assembly areas for each site. All IT personnel entering the site will be informed of these routes and assembly areas. If the site is large and the evacuation routes not clear, a site plan will be made marking the evacuation routes and will be posted at conspicuous locations. Each site will be evaluated for the potential for fire, explosion, chemical release, or other catastrophic events. Unusual events, activities, chemicals, and conditions will be reported to the Site Supervisor. 11.2 Emergency Procedures If an incident occurs, the following procedures will be used: • The Site Supervisor will evaluate the incident and assess the need for assistance • The Site Supervisor will call for outside assistance as needed • The She Supervisor will act as liaison between outside agencies and on-site personnel • The Site Supervisor will ensure the Project Manager and an H&S Representative at the nearest IT office are notified promptly of the incident • The She Supervisor will take appropriate measures to stabilize the incident scene. 11.3 Safety Signals Vehicle or portable air horns will be used for safety signals as follows: • One long blast: Emergency evacuation of the site • Two short blasts: Clear working area around powered or moving equipment. KN/I720/WP1720.11/02-21-9X10:26«nVDl/NE 11-1 TUT OO5 1281 11.4 Medical Emergency All IT employee injuries must be promptly reported to the Site Supervisor. The Site Supervisor will: • Ensure that the injured FT employee receives prompt first aid and medical attention • Ensure that the PM and General Manager are promptly notified of the incident • Initiate an investigation of the incident. 11.4.1 Chemical Inhalation Any IT employee complaining of symptoms of chemical overexposure as described in Chap- ter 3.0 will be removed from the work area and transported to the designated medical facility for examination and treatment. It is highly unlikely that the chemicals anticipated as being on site, in the concentrations anticipated, would cause situations immediately dangerous to life and health. 11.42 Eye Contact IT project personnel who have had contaminants splashed in their eyes or who have experienced eye irritation while in the contaminated zone, shall immediately proceed to the eyewash station, set up in the decontamination zone. Do not decontaminate prior to using the eyewash. Remove whatever protective clothing is necessary to use the eyewash. Flush the eye with clean running water for at least 15 minutes. Arrange prompt transport to the designated medical facility. 11.4.3 Skin Contact IT project personnel who have had skin contact with contaminants will, unless the contact is severe, proceed through the decontamination zone, to the wash-up area. IT personnel will remove any contaminated clothing, and then wash the affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. The worker should be transported to the medical facility listed below, if they show any sign of skin reddening, irritation, or if they request a medical examination. 11.4.4 Personal Injury Accident In the event of an IT personal injury accident, the Site Supervisor will assess the nature and seriousness of the injury. In the case of serious or life-threatening injuries, normal decon- tamination procedures may be ignored. Less serious injuries such as strains, sprains, minor cuts, and contusions may only be treated after the employee has been decontaminated. KN/1720/WP1720.1 l/02-21^5(lft26«i.VDl/NE 11-2 TUT OO5 1282 Following decontamination, an IT project team member qualified in first aid and CPR will administer suitable first aid.

A confined space is defined as a space large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work, has limited means for entry or exit, and is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Contaminated soil excavations, storage vessel entries and other confined space work may pose additional hazards such as air contamination, flammable or explosive atmosphere, and oxygen deficiency. Excavation entry may pose the possibility of engulfment. IT has detailed training for confined space entry, and only personnel properly trained shall supervise and participate in confined space entry procedures or serve as standby attendants. All confined spaces are initially considered permit required. Under certain conditions, a space may be reclassified as a non permit confined space provided the IT H&S Professional approves the reclassification, and the space meets the criteria outlined in Section X.2.3. 12.2 Confined Space Identification and Designation 12.2.1 Identification The IT Supervisor is responsible to identify all confined spaces into which IT employees will enter. Entry is considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the entrant's body breaks the plane of an opening into the space. The client is responsible to identify and provide information as to contents, expected atmosphere, and rescue procedures for all confined spaces on his/her property. If a space is not considered permit required by the client but meets the criteria of this procedure, it shall be considered permit required for IT managed entry. If a space does not meet the criteria in this procedure but is considered permit required by the client, this procedure shall apply. The confined space for this project is any entry into the excavation greater than 5 ft depth. KN/1720/WP1720.12AI2-21-95(10:34un)/Dl/NE 12-1 TUT OO5 1284 12.2.2 Classification A confined space means a space that is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work, has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and is not designed for human occupancy. A permit required confined space is a confined space meeting the above definition and also contains or could contain a hazardous atmosphere, or contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant, or has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section, or contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard. All confined spaces are initially considered permit required confined spaces. CLASSIFY CS as permit-required confined space. 12.2.3 Reclasslficatlon Although all confined spaces are initially considered permit required confined spaces, certain spaces can be reclassified as a non permit confined spaces provided the following apply: • Site-specific approval of an H&S professional; • All contaminants, vessels containing contaminants, and contaminated soils have been removed; • All actual or potential atmospheric hazards have been eliminated (verified by testing); • Ventilation is not required to maintain control of atmospheric hazards; • All recognized hazards, including engulfment, within the confined space have been eliminated • The entry permit must be posted at the entrance to the confined space. The space must be re-evaluated (and reclassified to permit required, if needed) whenever the use or configuration of the space changes in any way that might increase the hazard to entrants. All IT entrants must exit the space immediately when hazards are noted. RECLASSIFICATION IS NOT PERMISSIBLE FOR EXCAVATION ENTRY.

Such incidents include: - Unauthorized entry - The detection of a condition/hazard not authorized by the permit - The occurrence of an injury or near-miss during entry - A change in use or configuration of the space - Employee complaints about the program. • Prescribes procedures for coordination of entry when personnel from multiple employers will work simultaneously. 12.4 Procedures lor Permit Space Entry 12.4.1 Acceptable Entry Conditions The conditions for entry into each space are as follows: SPECIFY CONDITIONS FOR EACH SPACE. AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT ENTRY CONDITIONS AND ACTION LEVELS Parameter Reading Action/Level of Protection Total Hydrocarbons <5 pans per million (ppm) 5 to 25 ppm >25 ppm Normal operations, Level D Stop work; upgrade to Level C, investigate cause of reading Stop work; evacuate con- fined space and upgrade to Level B; investigate cause of reading KNA720/WP1720.12AC-21-95(10:34un)/Dl/NE 12-5 TUT OO5 1288 Parameter Reading Action/Level of Protection Flammable Vapors (LEL) <10% LEL >10% LEL Normal operations Stop work, evacuate con- fined space; ventilate area; investigate source of vapors Oxygen >20%, <23.5% <20%, >23.5% Normal operations Stop work, evacuate con- fined space, ventilate, re- sample 12.4.2 Isolation Requirements The confined space must be isolated to prevent the introduction of contaminants during entry. Isolation must include disconnecting or installing slip blanks into all lines leading to the space. To prevent injury from physical hazards within the space, lockout, tagout, tryout and return to service procedures (IT Pro HS315) must be implemented for potential sources of hazardous energy. When isolation is not practical or possible (as in sewer entry) entry conditions must be continuously monitored. ISOLATION IS NOT PRACTICAL SO CONTINUOUS AIR MONITORING WILL BE NECESSARY FOR CONFINED SPACE ENTRY. 12.4.3 Atmospheric Hazard Control Atmospheric hazards must be eliminated or controlled to meet the requirements specified in Section X.4.1. If necessary the space shall be purged or inerted, then ventilated to the extent necessary to meet the criteria in Section X.4.1. Ventilation equipment may be needed to maintain these conditions. VENTILATION EQUIPMENT SHALL BE USED TO ENSURE REDUCTION OF POTENTIAL FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND THAT SUFFICIENT OXYGEN WILL BE PRESENT.

TESTING WILL BE CONDUCTED CONTINUOUSLY DURING EXCAVATION ENTRY FOR OXYGEN CONTENT, FLAMMABILITY, AND TOXICITY. 12.4.5 Communications Provisions for continuous communication between entrants and attendants may consist of the standard system of lifeline "tugs" below, so long as the attendants continuously hold the lifelines in their hands. If this is not practical or possible, portable air horns must be provided to all entrants and attendants. The same code for rope tugs will be used for air horn blasts: Lifeline "Tug" Signals or Air Horn Signals 1 Tug/Horn Blast = Arc you OK? 2 Tugs/Horn Blast = Yes, I am OK. 3 Tugs/Horn Blast = Exit the confined space immediately. KN/n20/WP1720.12/02-21-9S(10:34«mVDl/NE 12-7 TUT GO5 1290 If the lifeline tug system or the air hom system arc not feasible, powered communication equipment with the appropriate National Electrical Code (NEC) rating shall be provided. COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM WILL BE WRITTEN AND REVIEWED AT EACH TAILGATE SAFETY MEETING PRIOR TO EXCAVATION ENTRY. 12.4.6 Personal Protective Equipment (see Section 5.0 for PPE requirements) • Protective suits, boots, and gloves - including specifying the material of constru- ction. • Face, head, and foot protection. • Specify chest or parachute harness with approved lifelines at least 1/2-inch in diameter and 2,000 pounds test. (NOTE: Wristlets may be used only when a harness presents a greater hazard to the employee and wristlets are the safest, most effective alternative). All lifelines shall be secured to a mechanical device or fixed point outside the confined space. Mechanical devices shall be used for all vertical entry permit spaces greater than five (5) ft deep. • Respiratory protection. 72.4.7 Other Required Equipment 12.4.7.1 Lighting Equipment Lighting and electrical shall be of the appropriate NEC rating. Rating should be Class I, Division I unless the space specifically meets other rating requirements. 12.4.7.2 Ingress and Egress Equipment Protective barriers to be used to protect entrants from external pedestrian, vehicle or equip- ment hazards. Detail Equipment 12.4.7.3 Rescue Equipment All lifelines must be attached to a mechanical device or a fixed point outside the space such that a rescue can begin as soon as the rescuer becomes aware that a rescue is necessary. A mechanical device must be available to retrieve personnel from vertical type permit spaces more than 5 ft deep. KN/I720/WP1720.12/02-21-95(10:34im)/Dl/NE 12-8 TUT GO 5 129.1. Detail Equipment 12.5 Permit System Before entry is authorized, the Entry Supervisor shall complete and sign an Entry Permit (Attachment 3) to document that all pre-entry requirements have been met and that acceptable entry conditions exist. The complete permit shall be posted at the primary entrance to the confined space. All Entry Permits are valid for a maximum of one (1) work shift, and shall be cancelled by the Entry Supervisor when the shift ends, confined space operations are complete, or whenever a prohibited condition arises in or near the space. All confined spaces shall be securely closed or barricaded whenever the entry permit is cancelled. The IT Entry Permit (attached) must be completely executed and include all required information. 12.6 Emergency Procedures IT shall provide rescue services unless the client has a qualified rescue team in-plant which is available to IT and has been informed of the hazards of the confined space to be entered. 12.6.1 Client Provided Emergency Rescue Services When the client provides the emergency rescue services, the IT PM must verify that the emergency personnel have been informed of the potential hazards they may confront, and have had an opportunity to examine the space(s). The PM must also verify all necessary equipment is available, and MSDSs for potential contaminants are provided to the facility treating any injures/exposed entrants. 12.7 Training 12.7.1 General Prior to assignment to confined space entry work, all employees shall receive training in the hazards of confined spaces, work practices to control these hazards, and duties to be per- formed. Employee proficiency shall be established by testing and/or practical demonstration. The IT Training Department shall maintain training records to include employee name and signature, date of training, and signature of the trainer.
