TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
Eagle provides a comprehensive scope of capabilities and experience in environmental
emergency response services. The company's Hazardous Materials Emergency "Strike
Teams" have earned an unequaled reputation for handling hazardous materials incidents
in a safe, expedient, professional and successful manner while protecting the surrounding
environment and limiting the liability of the client. Eagle has successfully managed several
thousand hazardous materials incidents in the area and across the nation involving highly
hazardous and toxic materials. These emergency response services have been performed
by Eagle 's highly trained Emergency Response Strike Team personnel utilizing various
company resources in conjunction with selected highly qualified subcontractors .
Eagle 's Emergency Response Service includes:
• Oil and Chemical Spill Response
• Emergency Planning/Response Audits
• Compressed Gas and Liquid Product Transfer
• Industrial Fire/Explosion Response
• Extremely Hazardous Materials and Product Escorting
• Spill Prevention Surveys
• Abandoned Waste Investigation, Handling and Disposal
• Reactives and Explosives Disposal, Neutralization and Stabilization
• Bioremediation of several sites utilizing land farming, heap piling and in-situ
technologies
• Removal of both organic and inorganic compounds from contaminated water
using state-of-the-art treatment technologies
• Facility Decontamination to remove lead, mercury, PCBs and other
compounds
• Free product recovery from the subsurface via recovery wells and interceptor
trenches
Eagle 's Technology Description will address the feasibility of the methods to be utilized for
completing the required work under the City of Fort Worth's Emergency Response
Contract.
• Methods for ensuring that the City has Access to the Provider's Services 24-
hours per day. seven days a week:
Eagle has a Fort Worth based operation and maintains over 120 in-house personnel at our
Fort Worth facility. Being a local company, we can mobilize and respond within minutes to
virtually any hazardous material incident, utilizing fully stocked support vehicles that
contain all levels of protective equipment and response materials. Eagle 's fleet of
emergency response management vehicles include fully equipped reference libraries,
electronic communications, SCBAs, respirators, air sampling equipment, HazCat kits, fully
encapsulated suits, and other critical equipment required for a first response. An Eagle
emergency response manager can be dispatched within 15 minutes after the client has
notified Eagle at its toll free telephone number which is answered 24-hours-a-day, 365-
days-a-year. The toll free number is 1-800-336-0909. Additional personnel and equipment
follow within minutes, via pre-loaded response trucks and trailers. Support materials and
equipment can also be provided from company-owned, fully stocked warehouses.
Eagle employs 24-hour dispatch capabilities to serve the City of Fort Worth. These 24-hour
dispatch capabilities include a manned dispatch receiver that answers the phones 24
hours per day/7 days per week/365 days per year. This dispatcher will take the initial
response information , including location , nature of response and any other relevant
information through Eagle's toll-free hotline. The dispatcher will receive a call for the
response at any hour of the day or night and will immediately notify the appropriate
individuals as to the nature of the response as well as its severity and contact information.
The response manager will then contact the client and initiate the response. In addition, all
response personnel are equipped with company issued mobile phones as well as network
radios to ensure that these individuals can be contacted at any time to facilitate a response
to any type of activity.
• Methods for conducting on-site hazcat analysis of wastes:
In some cases, spilled product or impacted area may be contaminated with an unknown
product. These instances will require the identification of the material through a Haz-Cat
analysis to determine the nature of the product. The Haz-Cat analysis will be performed by
a qualified individual trained in the operation of the unit. The Haz-Cat analysis will include
the analysis of the product using various reagents to determine the basic characteristics of
the material as well as its hazardous properties and identity. The Haz-Cat analysis will be
used to characterize the waste and determine the type of response required .
Eagle owns and uses Hazardous Categorization (Haz-Cat) kits on a regular basis for
multiple clients in North Texas . We employ multiple personnel based in our Fort Worth
terminal that are trained in the utilization of Haz-Cat analysis kits . These personnel will be
available to the City of Fort Worth on a 24-hour per day/365 day per year basis for the
performance of this contract , if awarded.

• General Procedures used to respond to and facilitate the removal of any
chemical spill or potentially hazardous material or waste:
Upon the initial call for a response, the response manager will immediately contact the City
of Fort Worth representative in order to obtain the appropriate response information as well
as the location and severity. The response manager will then begin the acquisition of
personnel and materials to initiate the response. The personnel and equipment utilized for
each response will be dependent upon the spill information provided. The response
manager will immediately proceed to the response scene to perform any first responder
activities while equipment and personnel begin mobilization.
Upon arrival on site, the response manager will coordinate the initial activities through the
City of Fort Worth representative and any appropriate regulatory agencies. These initial
procedures will include a hazard analysis of the chemical spilled as well as the isolation of
the incident from the public. All affected areas will be isolated using caution tape and
barricades as well as lighted barricades in appropriate areas . The initial hazard analysis
will include the review of any packing logs or Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to
determine the appropriate PPE and response procedure. The response manager will then
initiate any remedial activities required to clean the spill to include removal and
decontamination procedures. All response activities will be performed in the appropriate
PPE as dictated by the response information and all waste will be containerized in the
appropriate containers for analysis and disposal. All response procedures will be
performed until the spill has been completely remediated to the satisfaction of the City of
Fort Worth representative and the appropriate regulatory agency.
• Methods of assisting the City in the preparation of waste profiles, manifests, and
landbans to ensure compliant disposal of wastes:
Eagle provides disposal coordination services that include characterization , transportation
and disposal of all types of waste streams, including municipal , special , non-hazardous
and hazardous sol id and liquid waste. Eagle maintains a staff of full time disposal
coordinators dedicated to waste assessment, tracking and disposal. These disposal
coordinators maintain "blanket" agreements with disposal outlets to expedite approval and
disposal t ime . All coordinators are trained in all disposal procedures , including the
completion of profile forms as well as all manifesting and Land Disposal Restriction (LOR)
forms as necessary. These individuals will review the waste information with the response
managers to determine the appropriate disposal outlet that is the most cost-effective
solution. The disposal coordinators will then work with the City of Fort Worth personnel to
prepare the appropriate disposal documentation to include waste profiles , manifests and
other appropriate information to facilitate the disposal.
Manifests for waste will be prepared for each shipment that documents the waste to be
transported as well as the generator information and disposal outlet. All manifests will be
signed by the appropriate parties to include the disposal outlet upon final disposition. In
addition, Eagle will prepare all LOR for hazardous waste that will include the same
information . All disposal information will be submitted to the City of Fort Worth in the final
response report.
• Methods for deciding when to conduct remediation of waste and how
remediation (such as bio-remediationJ will be done:
During the response activities , the response manager w ill work with the C ity of Fort Worth
representative to determine the most cost effective and efficient manner to perform the
response activities . These methods will include gross removal , on site bio-remediation,
neutralization or a host of different technological methodologies. These methods will be
dependent upon the material sp illed as well as feasibility and regulatory approval. The
response manager will discuss the various options for remediation with the City of Fort
Worth representative as well as the costs and, time and space constraints associated with
each task. The response manager and the City of Fort Worth representative will then
determine the methodology to be performed and will implement the procedures. The
methodology to be performed will be implemented in accordance with all regulatory
guidelines with the complete remediation of the waste as the end goal.
Bioremediation/neutralization will include the application of microbial and other agents to
effectively remove, or render non-hazardous, the contaminants from the impacted media
and render the material "clean" by regulatory standards. All work performed will be
documented by the response manager and a final report narrating the site activities as well
as remediation goals achieved will be prepared and submitted to the City of Fort Worth.
• Methods through which transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous solid
and liquid wastes will be provided:
Eagle is fully licensed and insured to transport all types of hazardous and non-hazardous
solids and liquids. Eagle owns and maintains a fleet of heavy equipment to include tractor-
trailer and bobtail roll-off trucks, dump trucks and vacuum trucks as well as supersucker
trucks , drum trucks and other related equipment. Once a waste material is approved for
disposal, Eagle will utilize company owned assets in the form of roll-off trucks, trailers,
dump trucks, drum trucks and other related transportation equipment to transport the
waste for disposal. These units will be dispatched to the appropriate location and all waste
will then be loaded and transported for disposal. Furthermore, hazardous waste shipments
will include all appropriate placarding for hazard class and UN identification numbers for
the transported waste stream.
• Methods for providing sorbent Products to the City on an as-needed basis (a list
of sorbents and associated costs is provided in Section 2.5 Cost Estimate):
Eagle maintains a large inventory of supplies and consumables required for emergency
response. A rigorous inventory system ensures that all needed materials are in stock in an
appropriate quantity. These products include sorbent products and other materials
required for all types of responses. These materials are kept in stock at all times in order to
allow the response managers to access them any time . This stock of items is maintained
and inventoried on a regular basis to ensure that ample amounts of materials are on-hand
at all times. Inventories of the materials include the calculation of the materials and
comparison to minimum quantity standards developed by Eagle in order to assure an

yieId streamlined r
-0 Logle makes for you
Eagle's ability to deliver all the necessary
resources to manage and resolve environmental
related projects yields three key
advantages: time savings, enhanced
quality control, and reduced costs.
Eagle minimizes costly multi -tasking
of personnel, and "hand-offs" to other
contractors. Project delays due to
multi -vendor tasking are reduced,
which means unified control, time
efficiencies and enhanced quality
control.
Eagle can supply the knowledge and expert
proactive recommendations to client operational
management to ensure fulfilling regulatory
compliance. We maintain computer databases for
regulatory tracking as well as access to federal,
state and local environmental regulations and
records. To assure unbiased objective testing data
during the development, execution and monitoring
of each project, only qualified, independent
laboratories are utilized for analytical support.
The benefit is accuracy in the assessment
and resolution of environmental issues, and
the assurance that a client's operations are in
compliance with all regulations that may affect
them.
Professional expertise. Continual reinvestment
in advanced technologies, equipment and
people. $23 million in at -the -ready
assets. Quality decision making.
Proactive recommendations.
Two and a half decades of "on-
the-job" practical experience in
environmental management,
construction and remediation.
These attributes allow Eagle to
commit to effective, timely, safe,
and long-term solutions. It is also
why Eagle people are able to do work right the
first time, all the time.
Eagle possesses extensive capabilities and
experience in the remediation of contaminated
and environmentally impaired sites, as well as cleanup,
handling and disposal of hazardous materials.
The key advantage Eagle offers is our ability to provide an
integrated approach to environmental management as well
as our ability to handle all project phases from investigation
through design to final cleanup.
The result is enhanced control and the ability to streamline
costs by employing one provider to manage and execute all
phases of a project.

spray booths. Each booth has one mobile paint plat-
form on each side of the track.
Safety Factors
The facility has an excellent safety record. No record-
able uries have occurred in the last 16 years.
All repair, cleaning and inbound and outward inspec-
tion tracks have fall protection covering the full length
of the tracks. Fall protection is provided throughout
the facility whenever employees are required to work
at heights.

CASE HISTORIES:
EAGLE AT WORK
Over a 24 year period, Eagle has successfully
managed and completed tens of thousands of
projects, including bringing sa sifactory reso-
lution to thousands of emergency hazardous
material incidents. On the following pages
are case history examples of that work.
�� SASE HISTORY #1
Department of the Navy -Region 6
Environmental Multiple Awards Contract
Eagle currently maintains the Environ-
mental Multiple Awards Contract (EMAC) with
the United States Department of the Navy (Navy)
for U. S. EPA Region 6 (Texas, New Mexico, Ar-
kansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana). The contract
generally consists of remedial action services at
environmentally contaminated sites predominate-
ly located at Navy and Marine Corps installations
and other Government agencies. Remediation
sites consist of those ranked on the Superfund
National Priority List (NPL) as well as non-NPL
sites regulated under the Comprehensive Envi-
ronmental Response, Compensation, Liability Act
(CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), Underground Storage Tanks (UST)
and various other sites that may require remedia-
tion.
Landfill Closure and TANG Pond
Remediation —Dallas Naval Air
Station — Dallas,Texas
,� Eagle was issued the task order to perform
one excavation and removal of a former landfill
and the cleaning of the two storm water retention
ponds at the Dallas Naval Air Station in Dallas,
Texas. Eagle performed the removal, transporta-
tion and disposal of approximately 55,000 tons of
contaminated soil and 30,000 tons of construction
and demolition debris. Following the removal of all
materials, Eagle backfilled all low areas.
Eagle also performed the dewatering and
removal of the silt from two storm water retention
ponds located at the main entrance of the Dallas
Naval Air Station. These two ponds area collec-
tion point for the runoff from the City of Grand
Prairie's watershed as well as the Naval Base.
Pesticide/Herbicide Contaminated Soil
Remediation -Moore Airfield Base -
Mission, Texas.
This task order involved the remediation
of approximately 1,500 tons of pesticide contami-
nated material from a former pesticide operation
conducted by the UnitedStates Department ofAg-
riculture. Once field operations were completed,
Eagle prepared the Response Action Completion
Report (RACR) for submission to the Department
of the Navy and Texas Commission on Environ-
mental Quality.
Cut -Off Trench Installation —
Corpus Christi Naval Air Station —
Corpus Christi, Texas
Eagle's third task order awarded under the
design -build EMAC contract included the instal-
lation of approximately 2,500 linear feet of trench
installed with 8" slotted High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE) collection line, 2" return line and electrical
conduit. All lines were routed to a masonry treat-
ment building to house the groundwater treatment
system designed, constructed and installed by
Eagle.
Asbestos Soil Pile Removal; P&A of 900'
Well -Moore Airfield Base —
Mission, Texas
Eagle was issued the task order to remove
approximately 350 tons of asbestos containing
demolition debris from previous site demolition
activities performed by others. In addition. Eagle
plugged and abandoned a 900' deep water well
in accordance with state regulations and federal
guidelines.
Groundwater Remediation at SWMUs 18P
& 85P; NAS Dallas, Texas
Eagle was selected to perform groundwater
remediation at the Dallas Naval Air Station Site.
Activities included reducing Volatile Organic
Compound concentrations by excavating
approximately 29,000 tons of contaminated soil
and treating approximately 300,000 gallons of
contaminated groundwater. 21
20
AREA M LANDFILL CAP, MCGREGOR NAVAL
WEAPONS INDUSTRIAL RESERVE PLANT,
MCGREGOR, TEXAS
Eagle was selected to perform the design
and installation of the Area M landfill cap at the
Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant (NWIRP)
in McGregor, Texas. The Area M landfill covers an
area approximately seven acres and required over
65,000 cubic yards of clay and topsoil to construct
the 36 inch clay cap toped with 18 inches of top
soil.
CASE HISTORY #2
FEDERAL COURTS BUILDING
DECONTAMINATION - JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
Eagle was selected to perform the mold
decontamination of the furnishings, electronics
and files from the former U.S. District Courts in
Jacksonville, Florida to be transferred to the newly
constructed facility across the street.
In order to decontaminate all of these
items, Eagle closed one city block of downtown
Jacksonville to construct a 1,600 square foot fully
enclosed temporary decontamination facility where
the decontamination activities were to take place.
Negative air machines were used to create
negative air pressure in the decontamination
chamber. Eagle designed and constructed downdraft
tables to be used in conjunction with HEPA vacuums
to remove mold spores from all salvaged items.
22
During the course of the project, Eagle
decontaminated over28,000 feet of files, 10,800 books,
565 bookshelves, 60 credenzas, desks, and bookcases,
6,100 filing cabinets, 250 computers, copiers, f
machines, and printers and 14 refrigerators.
CASE HISTORY #3
FORMER RAIL CAR FABRICATION PLANT -
DEMOLITION/REMEDIATION
Eagle was contracted to perform environmental
mediation and demolition activities at a former
railcar fabrication facility. The facility was located
on a 24 acre site. The main facility structure was
approximately 653,000 square feet and consisted of
multiple side structures such as warehouses, paint
booths, blasting booths and fabrication booths.
Adjacent to the fabrication facilities, a two-story
concrete administration building with asbestos
containing material (ACM) was present, which also
required removal.
Following asbestos abatement and demolition
of site structures and removal of concrete and
asphalt, Eagle provided a remediation crew to
perform the excavation, sampling, testing, loading,
transportation, and disposal of approximately 55,000
cubic yards of material. Contaminants of concern
ranged from chlorinated solvents to heavy metals.
Soils containing hazardous levels of lead we
stabilized onsite utilizing Eagle's portable pugmi..
and screening plant.
CASE HISTORY #4
CONROE CREOSOTING CO.
SUPERFUND SITE
The Conroe Creosoting Superfund Site is an
abandoned wood treating facility situated on
147 acres of land on the outskirts of Conroe, Texas.
Approximately 15 acres of the site were utilized to
at wood with creosote, pentachlorophenol (PCP)
and copper -chrome -arsenic (CCA). Eagle was
contracted by Environmental Quality Management
to provide construction and environmental services
for the USEPA Region 6 office to mitigate the
immediate health hazards associated with the
Conroe Creosoting Site.
Eagle personnel constructed a 600' X 600' on
site burial cell for placement of the contaminated
soil. This state of the art containment cell was
completed under the requirements of the RCRA
Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal
Permit. Over 350,000 cubic yards of contaminated
soiIs were selectively excavated from the facilit?
and transported to the cell area. The contaminated
soiI was stockpiled adjacent to the cell while
construction of the cell was being completed. Once
completed, Eagle personnel permanently capped
the waste contained within the cell.
O CASE HISTRY #5
INDUSTRIAL SERVICES
Eagle's Industrial Services Division works with
a nation wide railcar cleaning and repair company
where all chemicals and by-products generated
during the cleaning and repair process were being
disposed of in landfills or by incineration.
Eagle, after review of each facility,
recommended that the company modify its current
processes and disposal methods which would
reduce cost and provide a more environmentally
friendly disposal option. The recommendations were
adopted and, today, Eagle recycles all blasting grit,
railcar rinse water and a majority of the products
generated from their cleaning processes.
Not only has this reduced overall disposal
cost, annual taxes on waste and reporting, Eagle
has provided our client with a sound environmentally
correct alternative. Now the material is beneficially
reused and the cost of handling their waste has been
cut in half.
CASE HISTORY #6
REMEDIATION AND STABILIZATION OF
CONTAMINATED SOIL
The scope of work at the Lorton, Virginia
Firing Range required the contractor to develop a
Remediation Plan to excavate, stockpile, character-
ize, and dispose of 15,000 cubic yards of lead con-
taminated soil. Eagle's Remediation Plan included
excavation, stockpiling, and screening of the soil
to extract the particles. The screened soil was then
stabilized with portland cement in a pugmill. All of
the stabilized soil was retained for three days prior
to conformation testing to allow for the stabilization
process to take place.
At the completion of the project, over 19,000
cubic yards of treated and untreated soil was re-
moved from the project location. All work was per-
formed by Eagle's highly trained employees.
CASE HISTORY #7
E. TENNESSE TECHNOLOGY PARK
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Eagle performed the decommissioning and
demolition activities at both the East Tennessee
Technology Park (ETTP), former K25 facility, and the
Y-12 NationalSecurity Complex in Oak Ridge, Ten-
nessee. Eagle has also performed work at Savannah
Ziver Site, in Savannah, Georgia.
Eagle was awarded the K-1064 Peninsula
and LaboratoryArea Decontamination and Demolk
tion project at ETTP based on technical approach,
schedule acceleration and pricing. The project con-
sists of the following:
The scope of work is for the Decontamina-
tion and Demolition (D&D) of two groups of facilities
at two different sites. These groups of facilities are

are located within the Property Protection Area in
the southeast portion of the site. A portion of the
work in the Lab Area involves the disposition of High
Risk Property items. The K-1064 facilities are lo-
cated on the K-1064 Peninsula in the Limited Area
which requires that personnel be at minimum.
DOE L-cleared for access to these facilities or, if un-
cleared, be escorted by personnel with a minimum
DOE L-clearance.
Y12 NATIONAL SECURITY COMPLEX
CONTRACT/PROJECT
Eagle was awarded a five year General
Order Agreement (GOA) based on best overall ap-
proach and value to the government. The work is
located at the Y-12 National Security Complex, a
government -owned facility, managed by BWXT Y.
for the Department of Energy (DOE), in Oak

Contract /I'roiect value
/ Estimated $5 Million
Pursuant to a long term standby emergency response contract in -place between Eagle and
Explorer Pipeline, Eagle recently responded to Explorer Pipeline's emergency request to respond
to an estimated 400,000 gallon jet fuel spill because of the repture of 28" pipeline located one
hundred feet from a creek near the Sam Houston National Forest and the Federal Correction
Facility near Huntsville, Texas. Eagle had 65 employees, 16 vacuum trucks, and 2 excavators
working 24 hour per day, 7 days per week for 2 months removing standing fuel from the creek to
prevent further migration of the contamination. During recovery processes, Eagle collected and
transported over 1,000,000 gallons of Jet fuel emulsions to an approved recycling facility. Eagle
utilized over twelve miles of sorbent boom, 1,500 ft of containment boom, and over 1,750 bags of
sorbent pads to contain and remove the released product. Throughout the project, Eagle
interacted extensively with the EPA, TCEQ, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and the stakeholder
(Texas Prison System). Eagle has provided a comprehensive Emergency Response and
Remediation approach throughout the project that complies with these agencies.
Attached is a recent letter that we received regarding Eagle's performance on this response.

To Whom it May Concern:
Eagle Construction and Environmental Services is my emergency response contractor of choice in
the geographic areas they cover. Eagle has always provided a rapid response bringing to bear the
needed resources and services without piling on extra resources that sit idle. Eagle is extremely
safety conscious and shows it with their actions as well as their words. Eagle is very good about
maintaining communication, keeping me posted on progress and making me aware of changes or
additions to resources ahead of time so I have input. Eagle has a perfect record on my projects of
doing what they say they are going to do, within the time frame promised. In the event that an
accident or problem does occur I have found Eagle to be an upfront, frill disclosure type of
company that brings the facts and solutions to the table.
.ill of the equipment in the world will not lead to a successful emergency response; it's the people
involved that make the difference. Eagle has recruited and retained some of the best. I have known
and worked with Todd ,Johnson and others within the Eagle organization for a number of years.
During that time Todd and his team have lead the response efforts and effectively managed the two
most significant pipeline releases that have occurred in my tenure, along with a number of smaller
projects. Todd is exceptional at watching out for the responsible parties' interest. He excels in
dealing positively with neighbors, maintaining relationships with officials, and collaborating with
other resources. He also excels at watching to ensure that costs are fair and appropriate for the
situation. His diligence to monitor invoices and hold sub -contractors accountable has saved
thousands of dollars.
Finally, the other major benefit one receives from a relationship with Eagle is their corporate staff
that supports the effort. Assistance in the area of waste handling and disposal a major effort and
cost related to an emergency response, has been exceptional and has saved untold hours of my- tune
and thousands of dollars. Other corporate support has included providing specialized onsite safety,
health, and security resources as needed.
Sincerely,

Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Eagle Consuuction and Environmental Services,
L.P. (a limited partnership), as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and
partners' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company 's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the: United StatL"S of America.
Those standards require that we plan and pcrfonn the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial stalemenls. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant c:stimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred lo above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Eagle Construction and Environmental Services, L.J>. as of December 31, 2006, and the results
of iL~ operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America .

1.0 HEAL TH AND SAFETY POLICY PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Eagle Construction and Environmental Services , L.P. (Eagle), has developed this Health and Safety
Plan (HSP) to perform the work required by the scope of work for this project.
Eagle's safety policy is to establish, actively promote, and continuously improve the safety, health,
and accident prevention program; to provide a safe and healthful work environment for all
employees; to prevent human and material loss; and to meet or exceed Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, and Federal, state and local laws for safety and health.
Eagle is committed to provide the human and material resources needed to implement this policy.
Eagle believes that injuries can be prevented, management is responsible for preventing injuries,
safety requires involving all employees, training employees to work safely is essential, and that
accident and prevention is good business.
Eagle's practice is that all of its employees actively participate in its Safety and Health program.
This HSP establishes the policies and procedures, which protect workers and the public from
potential hazards posed by work at this site. Eagle considers safety the highest priority during work
at a site containing potentially hazardous conditions. All project activities will be conducted in a
manner that minimizes the probability of injury, accident or incident occurrence.
Although the plan focuses on the specific work activities planned for this site , it must remain flexible
because of the nature of this work. Conditions may change and unforeseen situations may arise that
require deviations from the original plan. This flexibility allows modification by the on-site
supervisors. Changes to the HSP must be approved by the Corporate Health and Safety Officer,
Project Manager or Project Superintendent. This change to the HSP must be documented in an
amendment to the HSP and forwarded to the Corporate Health and Safety Officer.
This HSP takes into account the preliminary information currently available for discussions with the
client and the project management team. This HSP may be periodically updated , revised, and
communicated to on-site personnel, as more information becomes available.
Policy Statement on Drugs and Alcohol
The company has a vital interest in maintaining safe, healthful and efficient working conditions for
its employees. Being under the influence of a drug or alcohol on the job poses serious safety and
health risks , not only to the user, but to all those who work with or come in contact with the user
{i .e., fellow employees , customers, general public). The use or sale of an illegal drug or alcohol in
the workplace or on the work time also poses unacceptable risks for safety, healthful and efficient
operations. Accordingly, it is the right and intent of the company to maintain a working environment
that is free of substance abuse .

5.0 PROJECT HAZARD ANALYSIS
This section of the HASP details the chemical, physical, biological , and task-specific hazards posed
to site personnel during planned project activities. The Site Hazard Communication Program is
summarized in Section 5.1. Copies of material safety data sheets (MSDS) for each of these chemical
hazards can be found in the back of this HSP.
Section 5.2 discusses physical hazards identified with the site including those safety hazards
associated with construction, use of heavy equipment , fire hazards, electrical, and physical hazards
posed by heat stress, noise, and ionizing radiation. Hazard Analysis Sheets discusses the risks and
precautions associated with each task identified in the individual delivery orders and in the work
plan.
Daily "Tailgate" safety meetings will be held at the start of each shift, last 10 to 15 minutes prior to
the day's activity, in which potential chemical , physical , and biological hazards and preventative
safety measures are discussed.
An Activity Hazard Analysis will be developed for each task performed during each majo r project.
This analysis identifies the sequence of work, specific hazards anticipated, and control measures to
be implemented to minimize or eliminate each hazard. The Activity Hazard Analysis will be used
to augment daily safety meetings intended to heighten safety and hazard awarenes s on the j ob .
5.1 Hazard Communication Program
The purpose of a Hazard Communication or Employee Right-To-Know program is to ensure that
the hazards of all chemicals located at this field project si te are communicated to all personnel and
subcontractors according to 29 CFR 1926.59.
Employee Information and Training --Training employees on chemical hazards is acco mplished
through formal safety training conducted annually and informal safety meetings . Project-s pecific
chemical hazards are communicated to employees through an initial site orientation meeting and
during daily safety meetings held at Eagle field projects.
The written program is located in the Eagle dispatch office. At a minimum , employees will be
instructed on the following:
• Chemicals and their hazards in the work area .
• How to prevent exposure to these hazardous chemic a ls .
• What the company has done to prevent workers' exposure to these chemicals.
• Procedures to follow if emp lo yees are exposed to these chemicals.
• How to read and interpret labels and MSDS for hazardous substances found on Eagle sites.
• Emergency spill procedures .
• Proper storage and labeling.
Health and Safety Plan Eagle C o nstruction & Environmental Services . LP.
When any new hazardous material is introduced or discovered on site, affected employees will be
given information on this material at the daily safety meeting. The Site Superintendent will be
responsible for seeing that the MSDS on the new chemical or material is available on site.
5.2 Physical Hazards
The Physical Hazards posed by planned project activities include safety hazards , heat/cold stress, and
noise. There are numerous physical/safety hazards associated with this project which, if not
identified and addressed, could present operational problems as well as accidents and personal injury
to the work force . In order to minimize physical hazards , Eagle has developed a Health and Safety
Plan which outlines the minimum health and safety requirements for project sites, to be followed at
all times. Failure to follow safety protocols or continued negligence of these policies will result in
expulsion of a crewmember from the site as well as possible termination of employment

All team personnel will become familiar with the field activities, which will be conducted at the site.
Personnel are trained to work safely under various field conditions. In addition, the Site
Superintendent/SSO will observe the general work practices of each crew member and equipment
operator and enforce safe procedures to minimize safety hazards. Procedures from the HSP that
specifically apply to planned project activities are cross-referenced throughout the HSP. The
following sections are typical safety hazards that may occur at the project sites along with relevant
hazard control procedures.
I.
2.
Heavy and Bulky Loads -Intelligent thought shall be exercised before heavy and bulky loads
are lifted or handled manually by personnel. Mechanical equipment such as forklifts ,
wheelbarrows , hand-trucks, loaders, and cranes shall be utilized when possible and needed.
Note: Back injuries are real, debilitating, unproductive, and costly to both employees
and employers, and sometimes are permanent. Back injury prevention must be given
high priority on all project sites. If you think the load you are about to lift is too heavy
or bulky, it probably is! Get help or utilize mechanical equipment.
Emplo yees will make certain the load can be safely handled by considering the size, weight,
and shape of the load. No loads over 60 pounds will be lifted . Proper lifting techniques will
be utilized: feet will be shoulder width apart, one foot will be placed along s ide the load,
bend at knees , maintain arch in back, keep the load close to the body, lift with legs not the
back.
Hoisting Accident -Employees can have suspended loads dropped on them , be caught behind
a load and a stationary object, or be crushed or struck by the counterweight. All hoisting will
be done by qualified personnel only after safety checks are made of chokes and cables . In
addition, no hoi sting will take place without a designated signal man pre s ent.

Heavy Equipment Operation and Inspection -Heavy construction equipment operators
present constmction safety hazards to operating and ground personnel. Eagle has safe
operating procedures (SOP) for the use of heavy constmction equipment. Only trained and
qualified operators are authorized to operate heavy constmction equipment.
The operators are responsible for performing daily equipment inspections on their equipment
to identify, take out of service, and correct any equipment defect of nonfunctioning safety
devices that would render the equipment unsafe to operate. Standard safety devices and
equipment required to be inspected and functional during use includes the following :
• Seat belts (when installed)
• Safety glass in unenclosed cab
• Braking system
• Back-up alarms
• Portable fire extinguisher
• Hom
• Tires
• Steering and hydraulic systems
O p era tor s are req uired to wear seat be lts when operating .equipment and are responsible
for the location of ground personnel in their work area. The turning radius of trackhoes is
guarded to prevent contact between the equipment counterweight and ground personnel.
Bulk Fuel Storage -The bulk fuel storage will be a 110-gallon tank located on the picku p.
At least one 20-pound dry chemical fire extinguisher will be positioned in the fueling area.
Flame, Heat or Spark-Producing Operations -Because of the possibilities of flammable
materials being present at this site, flame, heat, or spark-producing operations will be limited.
[fa case arises where hot work is necessary, it will be performed by Eagle SOP on site
according to the Hot Work Procedure.
This procedure requires a hot work permit and will be inspected by the SSO or Site
Superintended prior to commencing hot work. All combustible materials will be removed
from th e area before any hot work is started . A fire watch will be posted and the atmosphere
will be tested for combu stible gases. The hot work permit will be completed by the SSO o r
Site Superintendent. The permit will indicate the area, the employees involved, air
monitoring results, fire protection systems, and fire department number.
High Pressure Washing -Washing or cleaning certain pieces of equipment may require the
use of high-pressure washers . These devices c an be hazardous if not used properly. The
fo llowing protective equipment will be used on this s ite: safety shoes or boots, metal foot and
Health and Safety Pl a n Eag le Co ns truction & Enviromnental Services . LP .
7.

9.
shin guards, goggles and face shield, hard hat, heavy-duty PVC rain suit , heavy chemical -
resistant gloves. Only trained personnel will operate the high-pressure washer. The o perator
must have an assistant to mo ve the hose and bac k-up the operator. Other personnel must
remain a minimum of25 feet from the area . The equipment cannot be altered. (Trigger shall
ne ver be tied down.) Operator should be changed every hour. Hydroblasting lacerations are
serious and must be reported.
Small Quantity Flammable Liquids -Small quantities of flammable liquids will be stored in
"safety" cans and labeled according to contents.
Electrical Hazards - Overhead power lines, downed electrical wires , and buried cables pose
a danger of shock or electrocution if workers contact or sever them during site operations.
Electrical equipment used on site may also pose a hazard to workers .
To help minimize this hazard, low-voltage equipment with ground-fault interrupters and
water-tight, corrosion-resistant connecting cables will be used on site. In addition , lightning
is a hazard during outdoor operators, particularl y for workers handling metal containers or
equipment. To eliminate this hazard, weather conditions will be monitored and work will
be suspended during electrical storms . All such items will be properly grounded before
handling. OSHA's standard 29 CFR 1910 .137 describes clothing and equipment for
protection against electrical hazards.
Electrical dev ices a nd equipment must be de-energi zed prior to working near them . All
extension cords must be kept out of water, protected from crushing, and inspected regularly
to en s ure structural integrity. Temporary electrical circuits must be protected with ground
fault interrupters. Only qualified electricians are authorized to work on electrical circuits .
Electrical work will only be performed by approved electricians. No electrical work should
be d one on a n energized circuit. Single phase electrical hand tools must be approved by a
recognized testing agency, and all exposed non-current carrying m etal parts must be
grounded or double insulated . Electrical equipment cannot be used if there are deficiencies
in the appliance, cord , or plug.
Slip/Trip/Fall Hazards -Some areas may ha ve wet s urfaces , which will greatly increase the
possibility of inadvertent slips . Caution must be exercised w hen using steps and stairs due
to s lippery surfaces in conjunction with fall hazard s .
Us e of handrails when climbing stairs will be enforced, and handrails will remain secure until
th e su pport itself is removed and lowered to gro und level. Good housekeeping practices are
essential to minimize trip hazards. Safety belts or harnesses will be required by personnel
working six feet or more abo ve s urfaces, including manlifts.
The wo rk area shall be kept clean and orderly. Tools and d ebri s must be picked up and
Health and Safety Plan Eagle C o nstruction & Environmental Services. L.P .
10.
11.
12.
13 .
14.
placed in the proper place to prevent a tripping hazard. Walkways and grading shall be kept
in good condition. Spills will be cleaned up immediately. Personnel shall not work or climb
on piping, valves, fittings, or any other equipment not designed as walking surfaces .
Ground Personnel -All ground personnel should be constantly aware of the possibility of
slips, trips, and falls due to poor and possibly slippery footing in the work areas. Before
crossing either in front of or behind a piece of heavy equipment, ground personnel will signal
the equipment operator and receive confirmation before moving.
Pumping Equipment -Various types of pumps may be used for the removal of materials from
ditches, ponds, lagoons, etc. The handling of pressurized hoses that could rupture and
violently release liquid materials to the work area will be controlled by inspecting all hose
fittings for secure connections [ all OPW ( camlock) fittings must be secured by tie wire]. All
employees must wear splash gear including splash shields when moving or disconnecting
pumps and hoses.
Head and Back Injuries -As minimum requirements , hard hats and safety glasses will be
donned prior to performing any site activities. This requirement will prevent minor injuries
caused by bumping one's head while working around and under piping and other process-
related structures. At the daily safety meeting, personnel are instructed in proper lifting
techniques and reminded not to lift heavy items without assistance.
Falling Objects -Eagle believes that the dismantlement process as well as other remediation
processes can be accomplished without any object, regardless of size, free falling to the
ground. All support structures will be slowly lowered to the ground using a grapple and/or
skip bucket. No personnel shall work under this equipment at any time. Also, the Site
Superintendent/Site Safety Officer will ensure that an adequate area is clear of personnel
while the equipment is in operation.
Heavy Equipment and Vehicle Traffic -The use of heavy equipment for debris removal,
excavation, and lifting present the greatest potential for injury to personnel. In order to
minimize these hazards, designated routes will be established for mobilization through the
facility , and specific Traffic patterns will be established. All trucks will have spotters for
backing maneuvers. Those crewmembers directly invol ved with spotting for the operator will
be the only personnel allowed in the vicinity of the heavy equipment. All other personnel
will remain a safe distance away from these operations. Personnel needing to approach
heavy equipment while operating will observe the following protocols:
1. Make eye contact with the operator (t he spotter).
2. Signal the operator to cease heavy equipment activity.
3. Approach the equipment and inform the operator of intentions.
Company vehicles will yield to all bikes , pedestrians, and railroad crossings. All vehicles
must come to a complete stop at all railroad crossings . All vehicles must be operated in a
Health and Safety Plan Eagle Co nstruction & En v ironmental Servi ces . LP .
safe ,and legal manner. Motor vehicles that are defective or not operating properly must be
reported immediately. Seat belts must be worn while driving. Personnel shall drive at posted
speed limits or at speeds consistent with prevailing road, traffic , or weather conditions.
15 . Confined Space Entry -No confined spaces are anticipated .
16 . Equipment and Hand Tools -All hand tools and power tools shall be in good repair and will
be used only for the task for which they were designed. All damaged tools will be tagged
"Out of Service." All tools will be kept clean. Sharp tools shall not be carried in pockets.
When working, overhead tools will be placed in a holding receptacle or secured when not
in use. Tools cannot be thrown or dropped from heights. Only non-sparking tools will be
used in flammable or explosive atmospheres. Cheater pipes will not be used .
17. Tagging and locking: Power-driven equipment shall be installed with provision for locking
out the controls or switches while under repair. An effective lockout and tag-out procedure
shall be established prescribing specific responsibilities and procedures to be followed by the
person(s) performing the repair work. This type of equipment shall be both locked out and
tagged out during repair.
5.2.2 Heat Stress
With the possible combination of ambient factors such as high air temperature, high relative
humidity, low air movement, high radiant heat, and protective clothing, the potential for heat stress
is a concern. The potential exists for the following:
• Heat rash
• Heat cramps
• Heat exhaustion
• Heat stroke
Heat stroke, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion are covered in detail during Eagle's 40-Hour OSHA
29 CFR 1910.120 pre-employment course . In addition , this information is discussed during safety
"tailgate" meetings , which are conducted before each workday. Workers are encouraged to increase
consumption of water and electrolyte-containing beverages such as Gatorade during warm weather.
Water and/or electrolyte-containing beverages will be provided on site and will be available for
consumption during work breaks.
An action level for heat stress has been established at 75 °F ambient temperature when site personnel
are wearing chemical protective clothing during the performance of field activities. The following
work/rest schedule is recommended, with personnel drinking fluids (tepid water and /or electrolyte)
at rest period consistent with their fluid loss:
Health and Safety Plan Eagle Cons truction & Environmental Services. L.P.
Ambient Temperature Work Period Rest Period
(degrees F} (minutes) (minutes)
75~80 F 120 15
80-85 F 90 15
85-90 F 60 15
90-95 F 30 15
95-100 F 15 15
The above work/rest schedule is only a guideline for use during field activities when personnel are
wearing protective clothing. The actual work/rest schedule may be adjusted by conducting pulse
monitoring before and after the work period and /or by performing daily pre/post work shift body
weighing if heat stress is not effectively controlled by the previously noted work/rest schedule. The
action level for adjusting the work/rest schedule would be 110 beats per minute (bpm), obtained
immediately after the work period in a seated, shaded position.
When a person's pulse exceeds l 00 bpm, that person is considered to be undergoing heat stress
which will require the work period to be reduced in-15 minute intervals while maintaining the same
rest period until post work period pulse monitoring is maintained below 110 bpm. In addition,
should a person's body weight change at the end of the work day by more than 1.5 percent, the work
period must be reduced in 15 -minute intervals while maintaining the same rest period until no daily
body weight changes greater than 1.5 percent are observed. Fluid replacement is also essential to
maintaining body weight.
Field activities in which site personnel are required to wear chemical protective clothing at ambient
temperatures higher than 95°F will be avoided whenever feasible by scheduling these activities
during the work day to avoid peak ambient temperatures (10 a.m. - 2 p.m. ). Site personnel who have
experienced a heat-related illness (heat cramps, heat exhaustion) will be restricted to Level D tasks
for a minimum of one day after illness occurrence and will return to tasks requiring chemical
protective clothing only with the concurrence of the attending physician. Site personnel will follow
Eagle's SOP for heat stress prevention.
5.2.3 Hearing Conservation Program
On projects where noise levels may exceed a time weighted average (TWA) of 85 dBA (decibels,
A-scale), hearing protection will be made available to all expo sed employees. Eagle's hearing
cons ervation program is in compliance with OSHA regulations found at 29 CFR 19 l 0 .95 .
5.2.4 Radiation Hazards
There are no radiological hazards expected for this project.
5.3 Activity Hazard Analysis
This activity hazard analysis s ection of the HSP identifies the pot ential hazards posed by tasks
Health and Safety Plan Eag le Construction & Environmental Services. LP .
performed during each major project phase as well as the hazard control measures required to be
implemented to abate these potential hazards . An activity hazard analysis will be performed for each
major project phase during site remedial operations. Each major project phase is comprised of
specific tasks that pose potential hazards to site personnel. The following is a list of common
potential hazards and accompanying hazard control measures that may be associated with planned
project activities.
5.4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Level D -Scope of work indicates a Level D PPE ensemble; consisting of hard hat, steel-toed and
steel-shanked leather boots and shoes, satety glasses with side shields and work clothing (long pants
and shirt).
5.5 Decontamination
In the event contamination results from contact with chemicals. Personnel decontamination would
focus directly on the nature of the chemical (solid-liquid) and the level of contamination i.e.;
individual or site contamination.

6.1 Pre-Emergency Planning
Prior to engaging in remediation activities at the site, the Eagle Team will plan for possible
emergency situations and have available adequate supplies and manpower to respond . In addition,
site personnel will receive training during the site orientation concerning proper emergency response
procedures. The proper Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and state/national response
teams will be contacted in accordance with applicable OSH N EPA requirements where the
magnitude of the anticipated emergency conditions warrant.
The following situations would warrant implementation of the Emergency Response and
Contingency Plan (ERCP):
Fire/Explosion
Spill or Release of
Hazardous Materials
Spill or Release of High
Temperature Liquid or
Vapor
Medical Emergency
• The potential for human injury exists
• Toxic fumes or vapors are released
• Possibility that a fire or release that might ignite other
flammable materials or clause heat-inducted
explosions
• The use of water and/or chemical fire suppressant could result
m contaminated run-off
• An imminent danger of explo sion exits
• The spill could result in the release of flammable liquids or
vapors, thus causing a fire or gas explosion hazard
• The spill could cause the release of toxic liquids or fumes in
sufficient quantities or in a manner that is hazardous to
or could endanger human health
• The spill can be contained on site, but the potential exists for
groundwater contamination
• The spill cannot be contained on site, resulting in off-site soil
contamination and/or groundwater or s urface
water pollution
• The spill quantity is greater than the reportable quantity limit
for the material
• Overexposure to hazardous materials
• Trauma injuries (broken bones , sever lacerations/bleeding,
bums)
• Eye/skin contact with hazardous materi als
• Loss of consciousness
• Heat stress (Heat stroke)
He alth and Safety Plan Ea g le Construction & Environmental Services. L.P.

• Severe wind gusts are forecasted or have occurred and have
caused damage to the facility
The following measures will be taken to assure the availability of adequate equipment and manpower
resources: (if indicated in the scope of work)
• Sufficient equipment and materials will be kept on site and dedicated for emergencies only. The
inventory will be replenished after each use .
• On-site emergency responders will be current in regards to training and medical surveillance
programs. Copies of all applicable certificates will be kept on file for on-site personnel required
to respond.
• It will be the responsibility of the emergency coordinator to brief the on-site response team on
anticipated hazards at the site. The emergency coordinator shall also be responsible for
anticipating and requesting equipment that will be needed for response activities.
• Emergency response activities will be coordinated with LEPC in compliance with SARA Title
III requirements .
Communications will be established prior to commencement of any activities at the remediation site.
Communication will be established so that all responders on site have availability to all pertinent
information to allow them to conduct their activities in a safe and healthful manner. Air horns may
be used to alert personnel of emergency conditions. A telephone will be located at the command post
to summon assistance in an emergency.
Prior communication with local responders in the event of an emergency will be accomplished using
commercial telephone lines.
6.2 Eme rgen cy Rec ogniti o n and Preve ntion
Because unrecognized hazards may result in emergency incidents , it will be the responsibility of the
Site Superintendent/SSO, through daily site inspections and employee feedback (Safety Observation
Program, daily safety meetings , and activity hazard analyses), to recognize and identify all hazards
that are found at the site. These may include the following:
Health and Safety Plan Eagle Construction & Environmental Services. LP.
Chemical Hazards Materials at the site
Materials brought to the site -IDLH atmospheres
Physical Hazards Fire/Exp losion
Slip/trip /fall
Electrocution
Confined space
Excessive noise
Equipment Hazards Stored energy system
Pinch points
Electrical Equipment
Vehicle traffic
Environmental Hazards Electrical Storms
High winds /Heavy rain/ snow\
Temperature extreme (Heath/Cold stress)
Poisonous plants/animals
Once a hazard has been recognized, the Site Superintendent and/or Site Safety Officer will take
immediate action to prevent the hazard from becoming an emergency. This may be accomplished
by the following:
• Daily safety meeting
• Task-specific training prior to commencement of activity
• Lockout/tag-out
• Written and approved permits for hot work
• Trenching/shoring procedure
• Following all standard operating procedures
The EC will determine the nature of the emergency and take appropriate action as defined by this
ERCP. The EC will implement the ERCP immediately as required. The decision to implement the
plan will depend upon whether the actual incident threatens human health or the environment.
Immediately after being notified of an emergency incident, the EC or his designee will evaluate the

6.4 Personnel Roles, Line of Authority, and Communications
This sectio n of the ERCP describes the va rious roles, re s ponsibi liti es, and co mmunic atio n
procedures that will be followed by personnel involved in emergency re spo nses.
The primary Emergency Coordinator (EC) for thi s s ite is the Site Superintendent/Site Safety Officer.
In the event an emergency occurs and the EC is not o n site the highest-ranking employee on site wi ll
serve as the EC until he arrives .
6.4.1 Responsibilities and Duties
This sectio n describes the res pon s ibilities and duties assigned to the EC.
It is recognized th at the structure of the "Incident Command System" will change as additio nal
response organizati o n s are added. Eagle wi ll follow pro ced ure s as directed by the fire department ,
LEPC, state , and federal agencies as required. Eagle will defer to the loc al Fire Department Chief
to ass ume the role of In cident Commander upon arriving on site. Additional on-site personnel may
be added to the Site Emergency Response Team as required to respond effectively.
6.4.2 On-Site Emergency Coordinator Duties
The on-si te EC is responsible fo r implementing and directing the emerge nc y procedures . A ll
emergency personnel and their communications will be coordinated through the EC. Specific duties
are as fo llo ws :
• Identify the source and c haracter of the incident, type, and quantity of any release . Assess
possi bl e hazards to human health or the environment that may result directly from the problem
o r its co ntrol.
Health and Safety Plan Eagle Construction & Environmental Se rvices . LP .
• Discontinue operations in the vicinity of the incident if necessary to ensure that fires , explosions,
or spills do not recur or spread to other parts of the site. While operations are dormant, monitor
for leaks , pressure build-up , gas generation, or ruptures in valves , pipes , or other equipment
where appropriate.
• Notify local Emergency Response Teams if their help is necessary to control the incident.
• Direct on-site personnel to control the incident until , if necessary, outside help arri ves.
• Ensure that the building or area where the incident occurred and the surround area are evacuated,
and shut off possible ignition sources, if appropriate. The Emergency Response Team is
responsible for directing site personnel such that they avoid the area of the incident and leave
emergency control procedures unobstructed.
• If fire or explosion is involved, notify the local Fire Department.
• Notify designated Emergency Response Coordinator.
• Notify Eagle's Corporate Health and Safety Officer who will notify the Project Manager.
• Have protected personnel, in appropriate PPE, on standby for rescue.
If the incident may threaten human health or the environment outside of the site, the EC should
immediately determine whether evacuation of the area outside of the site may be nece s sary and , if
so , notify the Police Department and the Office of Emergency Management.
When required, notify the National Response Center. The emergency telephone number for the
National Response Center is 800 -424-8802. The following information should be pro vid ed to the
N ational Re s ponse Center:
• Name and telephone number
• Name and address of facility
• Time and type of incident
• Extent of injuries
• Possible hazards to human health or the environment outside of the facility.
If hazardous waste has been released or produced through control of the incident, ensure the
fo llowing:
• Wa ste is collected and contained.
Health and Safety Plan Eag le C ons tru cti o n & En viromnental Service s . LP.
• Containers of waste are removed or isolated from the immediate site of the emergency.
• Treatment and storage of the r ecovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other
material that results from the incident or its control is provided.
• Ensure that no waste that is incompatible with released material is treated or stored in the facility
until cleanup procedures are completed.
• Notify the USEP A Regional Administrator that cleanup procedures have been completed and
that all emergency equipment is fit for its intended use before resuming operations in the affected
area of the facility. The US EPA Regional Administrator's telephone number is included in the
Emergency Contacts.
• Record time, date, and details of the incident , and submit a written report to the US EPA Regional
Administrator. Report is due to US EPA within 15 days of the incident.
6.5 Safe Distances and Place of Refuge
The EC for all activities will be the Site Superintendent. No single recommendation can be made for
ev acuation or safe distances because of the variety of emergencies that could occur. Safe distances
can only be determined at the time of an emergency based on a combination of site and incident-
specific criteria. However, the following measures are established to serve as general guidelines.
In the event of minor hazardous material releases (small spills of low toxicity), workers in the
affected area will report initially to the CRZ. Appropriate steps such as caution tape, rope, traffic
cones, barricades, or personal monitors will be used to secure the boundaries.
In the event of a major hazardous material release (large spills of high toxicity/greater than 55
gallons), workers will be evacuated from the building/site. Worker will assemble at the entrance to
the site for a head count by their foremen and await further instruction.
If an incident may threaten the health or safety of the surrounding community, the public will be
informed and, if necessary, evacuated from the area. The EC or his designee will inform the proper
agencies, if necessary.
Places of refuge will be established prior to the commencement of activities. These areas must be
identified for the following incidents:
• Chemical release
• Fire/explosion
• Power loss
• Medical emergency
• Hazardous weather
Health and Safety Plan Eag le Co nstruction & Environmental Services. LP.
[n general, evacuation will be made to the crew pickups unless the EC determines otherwise. It is
the responsibility of the EC to determine when it is necessary to evacuate personnel to off-site
locations.
In the event of an emergency evacuation, all employees will gather at the entrance to the site until
a head count establishes that all present and accounted for. No one is to leave the site without
notifying the EC.
6.6 Evacuation Routes and Procedures
All emergencies require prompt and deliberate action. In the event of an emergency, it will be
necessary to follow an established set of procedures . Such established procedures will be followed
as closely as possible. However, in specific emergency situations the EC may deviate from the
procedures to provide a more effective plan for bringing the situation under control. The EC is
responsible for determining which situations require site evacuation.
6.6.1 Evacuation Signals and Routes
An air horn will be used to notify employees of the necessity to evacuate an area or building.
Evacuation routes will be posted in each outside work area. Periodic drills will be conducted to
fa miliarize each employee with the proper routes and procedures. (If conditions require)
6.6.2 Evacuation Procedures
In the event evacuation is necessary, the following actions will be taken :
• The emergency signal will be activated ( one blast of the horn).
• No further entry of visitors, contractors , or trucks will be permitted. Vehicle traffic within the
s ite will cease in order to allow safe exit of personnel and mo ve ment of emergency equipment.
• Shut off all machinery if safe to do so.
• All on -site personnel , visitors, and contractors in the SZ will assemble at the entrance to the s ite
for a head count and await further instruction from the EC .
• All persons in the EZ and CRZ wili'be accounted for by their immediate crew leaders (e.g.,
Foreman). Leaders will determine the safest exits for employees and will also choose an
a lternate exit if the first choice is inaccessible.
• During exit, the crew leader should try to keep the group together. Immediately upon exit the
crew leader will account for all employees in his crew.
Health and Safety Plan Eagle C onstruc ti on & Environmental Servic es . L.P .
• Upon completion of the head count, the crew leader will provide the information to the EC.
• Contract personnel and visitors will also be accounted for.
• The names of emergency response team members involved will be reported to the emergency
spill coordinator.
• A final tally of persons will be made by the EC or designee. No attempt to find persons not
accounted for will involve endangering lives of Eagle or other employees by re-entry to
emergency areas.
• In all questions of accountability, immediate crew leaders will be held responsible for those
persons reporting to them. Visitors will be the responsibility of those emp lo yees they are
visiting . Contractors and truck drivers are the responsibility of the Site Superintendent.
• Personnel will be assigned by the EC to be available at the main gate to direct and brief
emergency responders.
• Re-entry into the site will be made only after clearance is given by the EC. At his direction, a
signal (two blast of the horn) or other notification will be given for re-entry into the facility .
• Drills will be held periodically to practice all of these procedures and will be treated with the
same seriousness as an actual emergency. (If feasible)
6.7 Emergency Spill Response Procedures and Equipment
In the event of an emergency involving a hazardous material spill or release, the following general
procedures will be used for rapid and safe response and control of the situation. Emergency contacts
found in Section 6 .3 provide a quick reference guide in the event of a major spill.
6.7.l Notification Procedures
If an employee discovers a chemical spill or process upset resulting in a vapor or material relea se ,
he or she will immediately notify the on-site EC.
The on-s ite EC will obtain the following information:
• The material spilled or released ;
• Lo cation of the release or spillage of hazardous material ;
• An estimate of quantity released and the rate at which it is being released;
• The direction in which the spill, vapor, or smoke release is heading;
• Injuries involved;
Health and Safety Plan Eag le C onstruction & Environmental Services. L.P .
• Fire and/or explosion or possibility of these events ; and
• The area and materials involved and the intensity of the fire or explosion.
This information will help the on-site EC to assess the magnitude and potential seriousness of the
spill or release.
6.7.2 Procedure for Containing/Collecting Spills
The initial response to an y s pill or discharge will be to protect human health and safety, and then the
environment. Identification, containment , treatment, and dispos a l assessment will be the seconda ry
response.
If a chemical spill is not contained within a dike or sump area, an area of isolation will be establi shed
around the spill. The size of the area will generally depend on the si ze of the spill and the materials
involved. If the spill is large (greater than 55 gallons) and involves a tank or pipeline rupture , an
initial isolation of at least I 00 feet in all directions will be used . Small s pills (less than or equal to
55 gallons) or leaks from a tank or pipe will require evacuation of at least 50 feet in all directions
to allow cleanup and repair and to prevent exposure. When any spill occurs, only tho se persons
involved in overseeing or performing emergency operations will be allowed within the designated
hazard area. If possible, the area will be roped or otherwise blocked off. If the spill results in the
formation of a toxic vapor cloud (by reaction with surrounding materials or by outbreak of fire) and
its release (due to high vapor pressures under ambient conditions), further evacuation will be
enforced. In general , an area at least 500 feet wide and 1,000 feet long wi ll be evacuated downwind
if volatile materials are spilled. (Consult the DOT Emergency Response Guide for isolation
distances for listed hazardous materials.)
If an incident may threaten the health and safety of the s urrounding community, the public will be
informed and po ss ibly evacuated from the area. The on -site EC will inform the proper agencies in
the event this is necessary refer to Section 6.3.
As called for in regulations developed under the Comprehensive Environmental Re s ponse
Compensation Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund), Eagle's practice is to report a spill of a pound or
more of any hazardous material for which a reportable quantity has not been established and which
is listed under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, Clean Air Act , Clean Water Act, or TSCA. Eagle also
follows the same practice for any s ubstances not listed in the Acts noted above but which can be
classified as a hazardous waste under RCRA.

The management of Eagle considers no phase of operation or administration as being of greater
importance than accident prevention. The unique and specialized services that are provided by
Eagle during remedial activities or during an emergency response to a release of hazardous
materials , are inherently dangerous. Although dangerous , the proper training , equipment, and
procedures will allow Eagle to provide these services in a safe , effective , and professional manner. It
is the Company 's position, therefore , to provide a safe and healthful working environment by assuring
that all employees are trained and the appropriate equipment and tools for the job are provided.
Safety is the number one responsibility of management. The supervisor is the key to Eagle's Safety
Program because of his/her constant contact with employees . No project manager, superintendent,
or supervisor may ever be relieved of any part of his/her responsibility for safety. Safety is an
operational function and cannot be transferred to a staff organization. Each employee has a personal
and vital responsibility in contributing to a safe and hea lthful work place. Eagle maintains an open
door policy , and any employee is free to discuss problems or concerns directly with the health and
safety staff or any level of management. Through a joint employee/management effort , an accident
and injury free work environment will be achieved. Eagle believes that it is in the best interests of all
to actively protect the safety and health of its employees.
This policy shall be implemented by:
~ Providing appropriate employee training so that each person is able to acquire the knowledge and
skills needed to work in a safe and responsible manner.
• Providing equipment, tools , and materials that are safe and appropriate for the task at hand.
• Prov iding effective safety and health management at all levels in the company.
• Developing and maintaining reasonable safety rules and standard operating procedures and
effectively communicating these rules , practices and procedures to all employees.
• Firm and fair enforcement of the company safety rules and procedures.
• Providing the appropriate medical and industrial hygiene programs and services for employee
health conservation.
• Promote employee safety and health both on and off the job .

I. GENERAL
1.1 Scope
This program pertains to all Eagle employees. This program is initiated , not to be a
negative company poster, but to be a positive reinforcement for proper work ethics and
work practices .
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to define the actions to be taken in the event of an incident
involving employee( s ).
1 .3 References:
1 .4 Regulations
II. PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR DISCIPLINARY PROGRAM
While all personnel are responsible for their own conduct , supervisors are responsible to
enforce established safety practices and rules , appropriate attire , and proper conduct on their
sites. Supervisors have the authority to remove any individual from the site with a safety
infraction , dressed inappropriately for the work to be performed or for misconduct. Supervisors
must then report any of these actions to the Health & Safety Department immediately along
with a detailed written report of the incident , names of others that witnessed it.
The Director of Health and Safety is the second step in enforcement of the program. This
position has the authority to make a decision on punitive actions to be taken . Probation ,
suspension , termination and any other actions deemed appropriate for the offense. Director of
Health & Safety or his designee shall perform regularly scheduled and unscheduled physical
inspections on Eagle projects , property , practices , and equipment. Any such inspection that
indicates violations show ing a lack of commitment to Eagle 's safety mission and goals shall
undergo the same level of disciplinary action.
President of Eagle has the authority to overrule the decision of the Director of Health and
Safety. The President of Eagle has the final decision and may mitigate or intensify the actions
previously determined by any of the other personnel.

Ill. ACCIDENTS
A. Eagle's policy on accidents is:
(1) That if it is less than 500 dollars damage, the Director, Health and Safety may make
the final decision on actions to be taken, if any.
(2) If over 500 dollars , a committee formed with the President of Eagle, Health and
Safety Director, the terminal manager of the employee, the supervisor of the
employee will discuss the incident in detail and the committee will make a final
determination on the actions to be taken. The employee will be removed from the
work site and clocked out immediately after the accident, until the investigation is
completed.

• Product Warning Labels
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Written Hazard Communication Program
• Effective Employee Training
Some chemicals are explosive , corrosive , flammable, or toxic. Other chemicals are relat ively safe to
use and store but may become dangerous when they interact with other substances. To avoid injury
and/or property damage , persons who handle chemicals in any area of Eagle property must under-
stand the hazardous properties of the chemicals. Before using a specific chemical , safe handling
methods and health hazards must always be reviewed. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that
the equipment needed to work safely with chemicals is accessible and maintained for all employees
on all shifts.
Charlie Taylor, Corporate Health and Safety Director, is the responsible party for implementing , exe-
cuting and updating the program for Eagle.

C. Annual Refresher Training
Annual Hazard Communication refresher training will be conducted as part of Eagle's continu-
ing safety-training program.
D. Immediate On-the-Spot Training
This training will be conducted by supervisors for any employee that requests additional infor-
mation or exhibits a lack of understanding of the safety requirements.
E. Non-Routine Tasks
Non-routine tasks are defined as working on , near, or with unlabeled piping , unlabeled con-
tainers of an unknown substance, confined space entry where a hazardous substance may be
present and/or a one-time task using a hazardous substance differently than intended ( exam-
ple: using a solvent to remove stains from tile floors).
Steps for Non-Routine Tasks
Step 1: Hazard Determination
Step 2: Determine Precautions
Step 3: Specific Training & Documentation
Step 4: Perform Task
The Department Supervisor and Safety Department will evaluate all non-routine tasks before the task
commences, to determine all hazards present. This determination will be conducted with quantita-
tive/qualitative analysis (air sampling , substance identification/analysis , etc., as applicable).
Once t he hazard determination is made , the Department Supervisor and Safety Department will de-
termine the necessary precautions needed to either remove the hazard , change to a non-hazard , or
protect from the hazard (use of personal protective equipment) to safeguard the Employees present.
In addition, the Department Supervisor or Safety Department will provide specific safety training for
Employees present or affected and will document the training using the Chemical Safety Training
Checklist form which shall be marked "Non-Routine Task Training".
Off-site use or transportation of chemicals
An MSDS will be provided to employees for each chemical and each occurrence of use or transport
away from Eagle facilities. All State and Federal DOT Regulations will be followed including use of
certified containers , labeling & marking , securi ng of containers and employee training.

Ill. General Chemical Safety
Assume all chemicals are hazardous:
The number of hazardous chemicals and the number of reactions between them is so large that prior
knowledge of all potential hazards cannot be assumed. Use chemicals in as small quantities as pos-
sible to minimize exposure and reduce possible harmful effects . See attachment for list of chemicals.
The following general safety rules shall be observed when working with chemicals:
• Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets.
• Keep the work area clean and orderly .
• Use the necessary safety equipment.
• Carefully label every container w ith the identity of its contents and appropriate hazard warn-
ings.
• Store incompatible chemicals in separate areas .
• Substitute less toxic materials whenever possible.
• Limit the volume of volatile or flammable material to the minimum needed for short operation
periods .
• Provide means of containing the material if equipment or containers should break or spill their
contents.
IV. Task Evaluation
Each task that requires the use of chemicals should be evaluated to determine the potential
hazards associated with the work. This hazard evaluation must include the chemical or com-
bination of chemicals that will be used in the work , as well as other materials that will be used
near the work. If a malfunction during the operation has the potential to cause serious injury or
property damage , a Safe Operational Procedure (SOP) should be prepared and followed. Op-
erations must be planned to minimize the generation of hazardous wastes.
V. Chemical Storage
The separation of chemicals (solids or liquids) during storage is necessary to reduce the pos-
sibility of unwanted chemical reactions caused by accidental mixing . Explosives should be
stored separately outdoors. Use either distance or barriers (e.g., trays) to isolate chemicals
into the following groups:
• Flammable Liquids: store in approved flammab le storage lockers.

• Acids: treat as flammable liquids
• Bases: do not store bases with acids or any other material
• Other liquids: ensure other liquids are not incompatible with any other chemical in the
same storage location.
• Lips , strips , or bars are to be installed across the width of storage shelves to restrain the
chemicals in case of accidental jarring.
Chemicals will not be stored in the same refrigerator used for food storage. A label on the door must
appropriately identify refrigerators used for storing chemicals .
VI. Container Labels
It is extremely important that all containers of chemicals are properly labeled. This includes
every type of container from a 5000 gallon storage tank to a spray bottle of degreaser. The
following requirements apply:
• All containers will have the appropriate label , tag or marking prominently displayed that indi-
cates the identity , safety and health hazards.
• Portable containers, which contain a small amount of chemical, need not be labeled if they are ·
used immediately that shift , but must be under the strict control of the employee using the
product.
• All warning labels , tags , etc ., must be maintained in a legible condition and not be defaced.
Facility weekly supervisor inspections will check for compliance of this rule.
• Incoming chemicals are to be checked for proper labeling .
VII. Emergencies and Spills
In case of an emergency , implement the proper Emergency Action Plan
1. Evacuate people from the area.
2. Isolate the area.
3. If the material is flammable, turn off ignition and heat sources .
4. Only personnel specifically trained in emergency response are permitted to participate in
chemical emergency procedures beyond those required to evacuate the area.
5. Call for Emergency Response Team assistance if required .

1.0 INTRODUCTION
It is the policy of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)/Agency forToxic Substances and
Disease Research (ATSDR) to provide employees with a safe and healthful working
environment. This is accomplished by utilizing facilities and equipment that have all feasible
safeguards incorporated into their design. When effective engineering controls are not feasible ,
or when they are being initiated , protection shall be used to ensure personnel protection.
This program does not apply to contractors as they are responsible for providing their own
respiratory protection programs and respiratory protective equipment.
2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 Office of Health and Safety
The Office of Health and Safety (OHS) is responsible for establishing and maintaining a
respiratory protection program consistent with the goal of protecting CDC/ATSDR
personnel. OHS will implement a Respiratory Protection Program which is designed and
organized to ensure respirators are properly selected , used , and maintained by
CDC /ATSDR personnel, and to meet federal regulatory standards (29 CFR 1910.134)
and industry accepted standards (ANSI).
OHS is also responsible for evaluating those tasks for which respiratory protection is
thought to be necessary, determine the degree of hazard posed by the potential
exposure , determine whether engineering or administrative controls are feasible , and
will specify which respiratory protection device is to be used at each task. In addition ,
OHS will train personnel in the selection and use of respiratory protective devices,
conduct qualitative and quantitative fit testing, and issue necessary protective devices.
2.2 Occupational Health Clinic, OHS
The Occupational Health Cl inic is charged with establishing medical evaluation and
surveillance procedures and reviewing the health status of all personnel who may be
required to wear respiratory protective equipment in the completion of their assigned
tasks.
2.3 Supervisor
Supervisors will ensure each employee under his or her supervision using a respirator
has received appropriate training in its use and an annual medical evaluation.
Supervisors will ensure the availability of appropriate respirators and accessories ,
provide adequate storage facilities, and encourage proper respirator equipment
maintenance. Supervisors must be aware of tasks requiring the use of respiratory

protection, and ensure all employees engaged in such work use the appropriate
respirators at all times.
2.4 Respirator Wearers
It is the responsibility of each respirator wearer to wear his/her respirator when and
where required and in the manner in which they were trained. Respirator wearers must
report any malfunctions of the respirator to his/her supervisor immediately. The
respirator wearer must also guard against mechanical damage to the respirator, clean
the respirator as instructed , and store the respirator in a clean , sanitary location.
2.5 Others
Personnel, such as employees , inspectors, and visitors , who must enter an area where
the use of respiratory protective equipment is required , even when their stay time in the
area may be 15 minutes or less, shall be provided with and use appropriate equipment,
including instructions regarding use and limitations. Personnel shall be fit tested and
med ically qualified to wear the respirator being issued prior to entry to the site.
Contractors are required to develop and implement a respiratory protection program for
their employees who must enter into or work in areas where exposure to hazardous
materials can not be controlled or avoided . This program must meet OSHA regulations
and include issuance of respirators , medical evaluations , fit testing and training.
3.0 MEDICAL EVALUATION
The Occupational Physician, Occupational Health Clinic , initially , and periodically thereafter,
makes a determination as to whether or not an employee can wear the required respirator
without physical or psychological risk. Based on the overall health of the individual and special
medical tests (pulmonary function studies, EKG, etc .) as appropriate , the examining physician
determines whether or not the individual will be restricted from wearing respiratory protective
equipment. If a medical restriction is applied , the employee , his/her supervisor, and the Office
of Health and Safety are formally notified of the restriction.
Specific medical tests and procedures will be determined by the Occupational Health
Physician and will be in accordance with OSHA medical surveillance requirements and/or
NIOSH recommendations .
4.0 SELECTION AND USE OF RE SPIRA TORY PROTECTIVE DEVICES

1. Workers in areas known to have contaminant levels requiring the use of
respiratory protection or in which contaminant levels requiring the use of
respiratory protection may be created without warning (e .g., emergency purposes
such as hazardous material spill responses).
2 . Workers performing operations documented to be health hazardous and those
unavoidably required to be in the immediate vicinity where similar levels of
contaminants are generated .
3. Workers in suspect areas or performing operations suspected of being health
hazardous but for which adequate sampling data has not been obtained.
4.2 Respirator Use for Biohazards
Respirators for use in areas where biohazards are used or stored must be selected
based on a review of the laboratory procedures, protocols , biohazardous agents
proposed for use , etc. The Biosafety Branch, OHS, will conduct a risk assessment and
determine the appropriate Biosafety Level for the laboratory and the corresponding level
of personal protective equipment required .
4.3 Respirator Selection
Selection of the proper respirator( s) to be used in any work area or operation at CDC is
made only after a determination has been made as to the real and/or potential exposure
of employees to harmful concentrations of contaminants in the workplace atmosphere .
This evaluation will be performed prior to the start of any routine or non-routine tasks
requir ing respirators. Resp iratory protective devices will be selected by the Office of
Health and Safety , using ANSI Z88.2, NIOSH Certified Equipment List , and/or the
NIOSH Respirator Selection Decision Logic as a guide. The following items will be
considered in the selection of respirators:
• Effectiveness of the device against the substance of concern ;
• Estimated maximum concentration of the substance in the work area;
• General environment (open shop or confined space , etc.);
• Known limitations of the respiratory protective device ;
• Comfort , fit , and worker acceptance; and
• Other contaminants in the environment or potential for oxygen deficiency.
Supervisors shall contact OHS (639-3112) prior to non-routine work that may expose
workers to hazardous substances or oxygen deficient atmospheres. Examples of work
which may require the use of respirators includes , but are not limited to :
• Asbestos abatement activities
• Abrasive blasting
• Cutting or melting lead or stripping lead-based paints from surfaces
• Welding or burning

• Painting , especially with epoxy or organic solvent coatings
• Using solvents, thinners , or degreasers
• Any work which generates large amounts of dust
• Working in a confined space
• Using formaldehyde to decontaminate a space
• Bio-aerosols
A review of the real and/or potential exposures is made at least annually to determine if
respiratory protection continues to be required , and if so , do the previously chosen
respirators still provide adequate protection.
4.4 Types of Respirators
1. Air-Purifying Respirator
These respirators remove air contaminants by filtering , absorbing, adsorbing , or
chem ical reaction with the contaminants as they pass through the respirator canister or
cartridge. This respirator is to be used only where adequate oxygen (19 .5 to 23 .5
percent by volume) is available. Air-purifying respirators can be classified as follows:
1 . Particulate removing respirators, which filter out dusts , fibers , fumes and mists .
These respirators may be single-use disposable respirators or respirators with
replaceable filters.
NOTE: Surgical masks do not provide protection against air contaminants.
They are never to be used in place of an air-purifying respirator. They are
for medical use only.
2. Gas-and vapo r-removing respirators, which remove specific individual
contaminants or a combination of contaminants by absorption , adsorption or by
chemical reaction. Gas masks and chemical-cartridge respirators are examples
of gas-and vapor-removing respirators.
3. Combination particulate/gas-and vapor-removing respirators , which combine the
respirator characteristics of both kinds of air-purifying respirators.
2. Supplied-Air Respirators
These respirators provide breathing air independent of the environment. Such
respirators are to be used when the contaminant has insufficient odor, taste or irritating
warning properties , or when the contaminant is of such high concentration or toxicity
that an air-purifyi ng respirator is inadequate . Supplied-air respirators , also called air-line
respirators , are classified as follows :

3. Demand
This respirator supplies air to the user on demand (inhalation) which creates a negative
pressure within the face piece . Leakage into the face piece may occur if there is a poor
seal between the respirator and the user's face.
4. Pressure-Demand
This respirator maintains a continuous positive pressure within the face piece , thus
preventing leakage into the face piece.
5. Continuous Flow
This respirator mainta ins a continuous flow of air through the facepiece and prevents
leakage into the face piece.
6. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
This type of respirator allows the user complete independence from a fixed source of air
and offers the greatest degree of protection but is also the most complex. Training and
practice in its use and maintenance is essential. Th is type of device will be used in
emergency situations only .
4.5 Identification of Respirator Cartridges and Gas Mask Canisters
Respirator cartridges and canisters are des igned to protect against individual or a
combination of potentially hazardous atmospheric contaminants , and are specifically
labeled and color coded to indicate the type and nature of protection they provide.
The NIOSH approval label on the respirator will also specify the maximum concentration
of contaminant(s) for which the cartridge or canister is approved. For example, a label
may read :
"DO NOT WEAR IN ATMOSPHERES IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE .
MUST BE USED IN AREAS CONTAINING AT LEAST 20 PERCENT OXYGEN. DO
NOT WEAR IN ATMOSPHERES CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE-TENTH
PERCENT ORGANIC VAPORS BY VOLUME . REFER TO COMPLETE LABEL ON

4.6 Warning Signs of Respirator Failure
1. Particulate Air-Purifying
When breathing difficulty is encountered with a filter respirator (due to partial clogging
with increased resistance), the filter(s) must be replaced. Disposable filter respirators
must be discarded.
2. Gas or Vapor Air-Purifying
If, when using a gas or vapor respirator ( chemical cartridge or canister), any of the
warning properties (e .g., odor, taste, eye irritation , or respiratory irritation) occur,
promptly leave the area and check the following :
• Proper face seal
• Damaged or missing respirator parts
• Saturated or inappropriate cartridge or canister
If no discrepancies are observed , replace the cartridge or canister . If any of the warning
properties appear again , the concentration of the contaminants may have exceeded the
cartridge or canister design specification. When this occurs, an airline respirator or
SCBA is required.
3. Service Life of Air-Purifying Respirator Canisters and Cartridges
The canisters or cartridges of air-purifying respirators are intended to be used until filter
resistance precludes further use, or the chemical sorbent is expended as signified by a
specific warning property , e.g., odor, taste , etc. New canisters , cartridges or filters shall
always be provided when a respirator is reissued. When in doubt about the previous
use of the respirator , obtain a replacement canister or cartridge.
4. Supplied Air Respirator
When using an airline respirator, leave the area immediately when the compressor
failure alarm is activated or if an air pressure drop is sensed. When using an SCBA
leave the area as soon as the air pressure alarm is activated.

5.0 RES Pl RA TOR TRAINING
Respirator users and their supervisors will receive training on the contents of the CDC/ATSDR
Respiratory Protection Program and their responsibilities under it. They will be trained on the
proper selection and use, as well as the limitations of the respirator. Training also covers how
to ensure a proper fit before use and how to determine when a respirator is no longer providing
the protection intended.
OHS provides training of respirator wearers in the use, maintenance , capabilities, and
limitations of respirators is initially upon assignment of personnel to tasks requiring the use of
respirators. Retraining is given annually thereafter and only upon successful completion of the
medical evaluation.
The training program will include t he following:
1. Nature and degree of respiratory hazard
2. Respirator selection, based on the hazard and respirator capabilities and limitations
3. Donning procedures and fi t tests including hand's-on practice
4. Care of the respirator , e .g., need for cleaning , maintenance, storage , and/or
replacement
5 . Use and limitations of respirator
Respirator training will be properly documented (Appendix A) and will include the type and
model of respirator for which the individual has been trained and fit-tested.
6.0 RES Pl RA TOR FIT TESTING
A fit test shall be used to determine the ability of each individual respirator wearer to obtain a
satisfactory fit with any air-purifying respirator. Both quantitative and qualitative fit tests will be
performed. Personnel must successfully pass the fit test before being issued an air-purifying
respirator.
No CDC/ATSDR employee is permitted to wear a negative-pressure respirator in a work
situation until he or she has demonstrated that an acceptable fit can be obtained. Respirator
fitting is conducted initially upon assignment to a task requiring use of a respirator. Refitting is
conducted annually thereafter upon successful complet ion of the respirator training.
Fit testing will be conducted by the Office of Health and Safety and the test results will be the
determining factor in selecting the type , model, and size of negative-pressure respirator for use
by each individual respirator wearer.

6.1 Fit Checking
Each time a respirator is donned , the user will perform positive and negative pressure fit
checks. These checks are not a substitute for fit testing . Respirator users must be properly
t rained in the performance of these checks and understand their limitations.
1. Negative Pressure Check
Applicability/Limitations: This test cannot be carried out on all respirators ; however, it
can be used on face pieces of air purifying respirators equipped with tight-fitting
respirator inlet covers and on atmosphere supplying respirators equipped with breathing
tubes which can be squeezed or blocked at the inlet to prevent the passage of air.
Procedure: Close off the inlet opening of the respirator's canister(s), cartridge(s), or
filter(s) with the palm of the hand, or squeeze the breathing air tube or block its inlet so
that it will not allow the passage of air. Inhale gently and hold for at least 10 seconds . If
the face piece collapses slightly and no inward leakage of air into the face piece is
detected , it can be reasonably assumed that the respirator has been properly positioned
and the exhalation valve and face piece are not leaking.
2. Positive Pressure Check
Applicability/Limitations: This test cannot be carried out on all respirators ; however,
respirators equipped with exhalation valves can be tested .
Procedure: Close off the exhalation valve or the breathing tube with the palm of the
hand. Exhale gently. If the respirator has been properly positioned , a slight positive
pressure will build up inside the face piece without detection of any outward air leak
between the sealing surface of the face piece and the face.
6.2 Qualitative Fit Testing
Federal regulations (29 CFR 1910.1001) require qualitative fit tests of respirators and
describe step-by-step procedures. This test checks the subject's response to a chemical
introduced outside the respirator face piece . This response is either voluntary or involuntary
depending on the chemical used. Several methods may be used. The two most common
are the irritant smoke test , and t he odorous vapor test.

A. Irritant Smoke
The irritant smoke test is an involuntary response test. Air purifying respirators must be
equipped with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter for this test. An irritant
smoke, usually either stannic chloride or titanium tetrachloride, is directed from a smoke
tube toward the respirator. If the test subject does not respond to the irritant smoke, a
satisfactory fit is assumed to be achieved. Any response to the smoke indicates an
unsatisfactory fit.
The irritant smoke is an irritant to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. It should not
be introduced directly onto the skin. The test subject must keep his or her eyes closed
during the testing if a full-face piece mask is not used.
B. Odorous Vapor
The odorous vapor test is a voluntary response test. It relies on the subject's ability to
detect an odorous chemical while wearing the respirator. Air purifying respirators must
be equipped with an organic cartridge or canister for this test. lsoamyl acetate (banana
oil) is the usual test. An isoamyl acetate-saturated gauze pad is placed near the face
piece-to-face seal of the respirator of the test subject's skin. If the test subject is unable
to smell the chemical, than a satisfactory fit is assumed to be achieved . If the subject
smells the chemical, the fit is unsatisfactory.
If the subject cannot smell the chemical, the respirator will be momentarily pulled away
from the subject's face. If the subject is then able to smell the chemical , a satisfactory fit
is assumed. If the subject cannot smell the chemical with the respirator pulled away
from the face, this test is inappropriate for this subject, and a different test will be used.
This test is limited by the wide variation of odor thresholds among individuals and the
possibility of olfactory fatigue. Since it is a voluntary response test it depends upon an
honest response.
6.3 Quantitative Fit Testing
Quantitative fit testing , using the Portacount Plus fit test system, is generally performed
on both full-face and half-face negative pressure respirators. Fit factors are determined
by comparing the particle concentration outside the respirator with the concentration
inside the respirator face piece. An acceptable fit is achieved when the respirator
wearer successfully completes a series of six programmed exercises (normal breathing ,
deep breathing, moving head up and down, moving head side to side , reading , and
normal breathing) with a fit factor of 100 or more .

between the sealing periphery of the face piece and the face , or if facial hair interferes
with normal functioning of t he exhalation valve of the respirator.
B. Glasses and Eye/Face Protective Devices
Proper fitting of a respiratory protective device face piece for individuals wearing
corrective eyeglasses or goggles, may not be established if temple bars or straps
extend through the sealing edge of the face piece. If eyeglasses , goggles, face shield or
welding helmet must be worn with a respirator, they must be worn so as not to
adversely affect the seal of the face piece. If a full-face piece respirator is used , special
prescription glasses inserts are available if needed.
6.5 Respirator User Cards
Respirator User Cards will be issued by OHS to workers who have been trained, fitted ,
and medically evaluated to use respirators. A Respirator User Card will include:
1 . Name and identification number of the worker.
2. The statement: "(name) has been trained , fitted and medically evaluated to use
the respirator(s) ind icated."
3. The type(s), model (s), and size(s) of respirator(s) that the cardholder was issued.
4. Expiration date of card .
6.6 Recordkeeping
Respirator fit-testing shall be documented and shall include the type of respirator , brand
name and model , method of test and test results , test date and the name of the
instructor/tester (See Appendix B).
7.0 MAINTENANCE AND ISSUANCE OF RESPIRATORS
7.1 Maintenance
The maintenance of respiratory protective devices involves a thorough visual inspection
for cleanliness and defects (i.e., cracking rubber , deterioration of straps , defective
exhalation and inhalation valves , broken or cracked lenses , etc.). Worn or deteriorated
parts will be replaced prior to reissue. No respirator with a known defect is reissued for
use. No attempt is made to replace components , make adjustments or make repairs on
any respirator beyond those recommended by the manufacturer.

Under no circumstances will parts be substituted as such substitutions will invalidate the
approval of the respirator. Any repair to reducing or admission valves , regulators , or
alarms will be conducted by either the manufacturer or a qualified trained technician.
7.2 Cleaning of Respirators
All respirators in routine use shall be cleaned and sanitized on a periodic basis.
Respirators used non-routinely shall be cleaned and sanitized after each use and filters
and cartridges replaced. Routinely used respirators are maintained individually by the
respirator wearer. Replacement cartridges and filters are obtained by contacting OHS.
Cleaning and disinfection of respirators must be done frequently to ensure that skin-
penetrating and dermatitis-causing contaminants are removed from the respirator
surface. Respirators maintained for emergency use or those used by more than one
person must be cleaned after each use by the user.
The following procedure is recommended for cleaning and disinfecting respirators :
1 . Remove and discard all used filters , cartridges , or canisters.
2 . Wash face piece and breathing tube in a cleaner-disinfectant solution. A hand
brush may be used to remove dirt. Solvents that can affect rubber and other
parts shall not be used.
3. Rinse completely in clean , warm water.
4 . A ir dry in a clean area in such a way as to prevent distortion.
5. Clean other respirator parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Inspect valves , headstraps , and other parts to ensure proper working condition .
7. Reassemble respirator and replace any defective parts.
8. Place in a clean , dry plastic bag or other suitable container for storage after each
cleaning and disinfection.
7.3 Issuance of Respirators
Respiratory protective equipment shall not be ordered , purchased , or issued to
personnel unless the respirator wearer has received respirator training and a fit test.
New employees who require respiratory protective equipment , must be placed i nto the
respirator program before being issued equipment.
OHS provides at least five types of devices : MSA Comfo 11 , MSA Ultravue , Survivair
ha lf-mask , Survivair full-face , and RACAL powered air-purifying respirators. These face
pieces have a variety of canisters that may be worn with them; hence , the canisters and
face pieces are packaged separately. At the time of issue the appropriate canister is
determined , based on the user's needs , and is issued with the appropriate face piece. In
addition , disposable respirators with filter ratings N-95 and N-100 ratings are available
for use under appropriate condi t ions.

7.4 Storage
After inspection, cleaning , and any necessary minor repairs , store respirators to protect
against sunlight , heat, extreme cold , excessive moisture , damaging chemicals or other
contaminants. Resp irators placed at stations and work areas for emergency use shall
be stored in compartments built for that purpose , shall be quickly accessible at all times
and will be clearly marked. Routinely used respirators , such as half-mask or full-face air-
purifying respirators, shall be placed in sealable plastic bags. Respirators may be stored
in such places as lockers or tool boxes only if they are first placed in carrying cases or
cartons. Respirators shall be packed or stored so that the face piece and exhalation
valves will rest in a normal position and not be crushed. Emergency use respirators
shall be stored in a sturdy compartment that is quickly accessible and clearly marked .
8.0 PROGRAM SURVEILLANCE
The ANSI Z88.2-1980 document entitled "Practices for Respiratory Protection" specifies :
"Section 3.5.15 Respirator Program Evaluation . An appraisal of the effectiveness of the
respirator program shall be carried out at least annually. Action shall be taken to correct
defects found in the program."
The evaluation of the Respirator Program will include investigating wearer acceptance of
respirators , inspecting respirator program operation , and appraising protection provided by the
respirator. Evidence of excessive exposure of respirator wearers to respiratory hazards will be
followed up by investigation to determine why inadequate respiratory protection was provided.
The findings of the respirator program evaluation will be documented , and this documentation
will list plans to correct faults in the program and set target dates for the implementation of the
plans . These evaluations will be conducted at least annually.

6.8 Decontamination Methods for Level A & B Protection
6 .8 .1 All personnel , clo t hing , equipment and samples leaving the contaminated are of a site must
be decontaminated to remove any harmful chemicals on infectious organisms that may be
adhered to them.
6 .8.2 Physical removal of gross contamination should be followed by a wash/rinse process using
either bleach or live bacteria which will neutralize or detoxify the products manufactured in
t his plant.
6.8.3 The follow ing describes minimum measures for decontamination and layout of stations :

Deposit equipment used on-site (tools, sampling
devices and conta iners , mon itoring instruments ,
radios , clipboards , etc .) on plastic dropcloths.
Segregation at the dropcloths reduces the probabil ity
of cross contamination. During hot weather
operations , cool down stations may be set-up within
this a rea .
Scrub boot covers, outer gloves and fully-
encapsulating suit with decon solution or
detergent and water. Rinse off copious amounts of
water.
Remove outer boots and gloves . Deposit in
conta iner with plastic liner.
If worker leaves Exclusion Zone to change air
tank , this is the last step in the decontamina-
tion procedure . Worker's air tank is
exchanged , new outer gloves and boot covers
donned , joints taped , and worker returns to
duty.
Boots , fully-encapsulating suit (Level A), inner
gloves removed and deposited in separate
containers lined with plastic .
SCBA backpack and face piece is removed
(avoid touch i ng face with fingers). SCBA

6 .8.4 Procedure for Decontamination: Recommended supplies for personnel, clothing and
equipment.
Dropcloths of plastic -for heavily contaminated equipment and outer protective clothing
may be deposited.
Collection containers -drums or suitably lined trash cans for storing disposable clothing and
heavily contaminated personal protective clothing or equipment that must be discarded.
Lined box with absorbents -for wiping or rinsing off gross contaminants and liquid
contaminants .
Large tub or wading pool -to hold wash and rinse solutions. These should be at least large
enough for a worker to place a booted foot in, and should have ither no drain or a drain
connected to a collection tank or appropriate treatment system.
Wash solutions -selected to wash off and reduce the hazards associated with the
contaminants.
Rinse solution -selected to remove contaminants and contaminated wash solutions.
Soft bristled brush -should have long handle to help wash and rinse of contaminants.
Paper or cloth towels -for drying protective clothing and equipment.
Metal drums -for contaminated wash and rinse solutions.
Plastic sheeting -for containing and collecting contaminated wash and rinse solutions
spilled during decontamination.
Lockers -for clean clothing and personal item storage.
Shower facilities or personal sink (at a minimum) -for full body wash or wash gloves and
hands in.
6.8 .5 All equipment used for decontamination must be decontaminated and/or disposed or
properly. Buckets , brushes, clothing, tools and other contaminated equipment should be
collected, placed in containers and labeled . Also, all spent solutions and wash water should
be collected and disposed of properly. The Environmental Department should be contacted
for disposal.
EMERGENCY DECONTAMINATION
6.8 .6 In an emergency, the primary concern is to prevent the loss of life or sever injury to site
personnel. If immediate medical treatment is required to save a life, decontamination
should be delayed until the victim is stabilized. Although it i,s important to remember that if a
person requires immediate medical attention, the treating personnel must wear protective
clothing.

2.1.2.5 The non-custodian( s) must place his lock( s) at appropriate
locations to insure that the system cannot be energized unless his
lock has been removed. This may be accomplished in the
following ways:
a) Each non-custodian may place a personal lock and tag at
each isolation point in the field ,
b) The custodian locks out each isolation point in the field and
places the key(s) in a lock box. Each non-custodian must
attach his personal lock to the box. Each non-custodian, or
designated representative, must still visually inspect each
isolation point listed on the Permit.
c) Since the only locks in the field , according to this method ,
are custodian locks , any duplicate keys for the custodian
locks must be maintained under strict management control.
d) Also, the custodian must place a lock , keyed differently from
the locks in the field , on the lock box to prevent an
unauthorized individual from removing the keys after the
non-custodian lock(s) have been removed from the lock box.
2.1 .3. Non-custodian(s) shall try to start the equ ipment to verify that proper isolation
and lockout has been accomplished. The designated representative may try to
start the equipment on behalf of the craft in which he represents.
2 .2 Complex Lockout
2 .2.1 . During the following situations , individual locks may
not be required :
2.2.1.1
2.2.1.2
2.2.1.3
during turnarounds or major shutdowns where many energy
isolating devices need to be locked out by a large number of
employees ,
when large distance between the work location and energy source
make it impractical for every individual to affix a lock ,
need to energize a piece of equipment or part of a system for
testing or trouble-shooting .

4.0 HAZARDOUS ENERGY CONTROL PROCEDURES (LOCKOUT IT A GOUT)
4.1 Introduction
Most industrial accidents are caused by the uncontrolled release of hazardous energy.
Many of these accidents can be prevented by proper lockout/tagout procedures. Before
employees service , clean , or adjust a piece of equipment that is energized either by
electrical , pneumatic , hydraulic , or other energy source , the equipment must be rendered
inoperative . Lockout/tagout procedures are to be applied to electrical and mechanical

equipment , circuits, piping systems , high pressure systems , chillers, pumps , air handlers ,
disconnects, valves, circuit breakers , fans and all other systems and processes involving
hazardous energy sources.
Definition : For the purpose of these procedures, hazardous energy is considered to be
energy that is stored or produced by electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, hydraulic,
or pneumatic sources.
4.2 Employee Responsibility
It is the responsibility of every employee to adhere to the lockout/tagout guidelines and
procedures in the course of their work for and at Eagle. However, it is the responsibility of
the Health and Safety Director to monitor and control the works of the Lockout Tagout and
Energy Control Procedures of the program. Failure to adhere to the guidelines set forward
is grounds for progressive disciplinary action in accordance with Eagle 's Health and Safety
Manual (SHP.202).
4.3 Training
Training shall be provided to all Eagle employees whose duties include working with
hazardous energy. Employees will be provided with the knowledge and skills necessary to
effectively execute the energy control procedures.
4.4 Inspections
Eagle managers and supervisors must annually conduct inspections of the energy control
procedures practiced in the field . Inspection will occur where unanticipated energizing
start up or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury. Documentation of the
inspection must include the specific machine or equipment being locked out, the name of
the person performing the work , and any findings of the inspection. See attachment 603-3
for example of the energy control procedure survey for machinery .

Title: LOCK TAG AND TRY PROCEDURE
Facility: Eagle -Houston
Operation/Maintenance Departments Involved : ___________________ _
Type of Work Involved : Change-out Section of Pipeline
Special Conditions Required : PROCEDURE MODIFICATION
Regulation Section Reference : II, A , 2b
Clarification/Variance :
The purpose of this variance is to modify the Lock, Tag , and Try Regulation Section II Procedure , sub-section A, paragraph 2 b which currently
specifies that non-custodian personnel , or designated representative from each non-custodial craft must visually inspect each isolation and
lockout point in the field. On certain pipeline jobs, there may be great distances between the work location and energy sources making it
impractical to follow the above section of the Lock, Tag, and Try Regulation . The following procedure is more practical and acceptable :
1. The non-custod ian personnel shall obtain the custodian's completed Lock , Tag, and Try
Permit , which will provide him with a written list of the isolation points and lockout that have been engaged to protect those
individual s oorking on the job . The custodian shall review the Lock , Tag , and Try Permit with all non-custodians oorking on the
job to ensure each person understands how he is being protected .
2 The custodian places his keys to the locks in the field in a lock box at the job site. Each
non-custodian must attach his personal lock and tag to the box .
3. The custod ian must place a lock , keyed differently from the locks in the field , and tag on
the lock box to prevent an unauthorized individual from removing the key(s) after the non-custodian lock(s) have been removed
from the lock box.
A.ttachments: ______________________________ _
Purpose : This variance is to clarify and/or define particular circumstances covered in
the primary safety regulation which need clarification. Review of the above variances to the regulation

suspended load. Also, do not work under a suspended load unless the load is supported by
blocks, jacks, or a solid footing that will safely support the entire weight. Have a crane or hoist
operator remain at the control s or lock open and tag the main electrical disconnect switch.
• Ensure that the rated load capacity of a crane's bridge , individual hoist, or any sling or fitting is
not exceeded .· Know the weight of the object being lifted or use a dynamometer or load cell to
determine the weight.

• Check that all controls are in the OFF position before closing the main-line disconnect switch.
• If spring-loaded reels are provided to lift pendants clear off the work area, ease the pendant up
into the stop to prevent damaging the wire.
• A void side pulls. These can cause the hoist rope to slip out of the drum groove , damaging the
rope or destabilizing the crane or hoist.
• To prevent shock loading , avoid sudden stops or starts. Shock loading can occur when a
suspended load is accelerated or decelerated , and can overload the crane or hoist. When
completing an upward or downward motion , ease the load slowly to a stop .
• Before working in an area near electrical lines , the lines shall be de-energized or grounded or
other protective measures shall be provided before work is started.
IV. Operation Rules
A. Pre-operational Test
At the start of each work shift , operators shall do the following steps before making lifts with any
crane or hoist:
1. Test the upper-limit switch. Slowly raise the unloaded hook block until the limit switch trips .
2. Visually inspect the hook , load lines , trolley, and bridge as much as possible from the operator's
station ; in most instances , this will be the floor of the building.
3. If provided, test the lower-limit switch.
4. Test all direction and speed controls for both bridge and trolley travel.
5. Test all bridge and trolley limit switches, where provided , if operation will bring the equipment
in close proximity to the limit switches.
6. Test the pendant emergency stop.
7. Test the hoist brake to verify there is no drift without a load.
8. If provided , test the bridge movement alarm.
9 . Lock out and tag for repair any crane or hoist that fails any of the above tests .
8. Moving a Load
• Center the hook over the load to keep the cables from slipping out of the drum grooves and
overlapping, and to prevent the load from swinging when it is lifted. Inspect the drum to verify
that the cable is in the grooves.
• Use a tag line when loads must traverse long distances or must otherwise be controlled. Manila
rope may be used for tag lines.
• Plan and check the travel path to avoid personnel and obstructions.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Material handling can be a major source of occupational injuries whether the work is done
manually or with mechanical assistance. Jobs that involve manual, mechanical, or
repetitive handling present the highest risk of injury.
2.0 SUMMARY
Material handling requires careful consideration of many factors including the area of
ergonomics . Every job that involves manual, mechanical or repetitive handling should have
a job analysis performed to determine how worker injury can be minimized. Most back
injuries that occur on the job are a result of poor lifting technique . Lifting and carrying
objects should be designed out of jobs whenever possible. When lifting cannot be avoided,
employees should get assistance with heavy and awkward objects. The risk of injury can
be reduced by staying in good physical shape, planning the lift and removing all obstacles ,
getting a good grip, getting load close to the body , and lifting with the legs. Avoid twisting
the back and lifting a load above shoulder height. Lower the load carefully, again bending
the knees and keeping the back straight.
3.0 TRAINING
Each department is required to provide adequate training to all employees who are
susceptible to material handling injuries. This would include proper lifting techniques,
proper adjustment of workstations, and specialized training in how to use material handling
equipment on the job. OSHA specifies that employees involved in the following materials
handling operations must receive training:
• Powered Industrial Trucks
• Cranes
• Powered Platforms
• Servicing Multi-piece Rim Wheels
4.0 INSPECTIONS
4.1 Mechanical equipment: Both "frequent" and "periodic" inspections must be
conducted of powered industrial trucks and cranes.
4.2 Drums or containers should be visually inspected before any work is conducted and
document as much information as possible about their contents, such as:

5.0 DRUM OPENING
For efficient and safe drum or container opening , personnel must adhere to the
guidelines below.
5.1 If available , remote-controlled drum or container opening equipment should be
used.
5.2 In order to protect the employee , a suitable shield shall be placed between the
employee and the drum being opened.
5.3 Only spark-proof tools should be used to open drums and containers.
5.4 Drums or containers containing unknown materials should be opened using
Level B personal protection, including splash protection.
5.5 Drums or containers containing radioactive material should not be opened or
handled until the appropriate personnel with expertise in this area have been
consulted.
5.6 Air monitoring equipment should be available near the drum or container being
opened , such as combination oxygen and combustible gas meters , colorimetric
tubes , and photoionization detectors.

C. Working on or near exposed energized parts.
(1) Application. This paragraph applies to work performed on exposed live parts (involving either
direct contact or by means of tools or materials) or near enough to them for employees to be
exposed to any hazard they present.
(2) Work on energized equipment. Only qualified persons may work on electric circuit parts or
equipment that have not been deenergized under the procedures of paragraph (b) of 29 CFR
1910.333. Such persons will be capable of working safely on energized circuits and will be
familiar with the proper use of special precautionary techniques, personal protective
equipment, insulating and shielding materials, and insulated tools.
(3) Overhead lines. If work is to be performed near overhead lines , the lines will be deenergized
and grounded , or other protective measures will be provided before work is started . If the
lines are to be deenergized , arrangements will be made with the person or organization that
operates or controls the electric circuits involved . to de-energize and ground them . If
protective measures , such as guarding , isolating , or insulating , are provided, these
precautions will prevent employees from contacting such lines directly with any part of their
body or indirectly through conductive materials , tools, or equipment.
Note: The work practices used by qualified persons installing insulating devices on overhead
power transmission or distribution lines are covered by 1910 .269 , not by 1910.332 through
1910.335 of 29 CFR. Under paragraph (c)(2), unqualified persons are prohibited from
performing this type of work.
D. Unqualified Persons.
(1) When an unqualified person is working in an elevated position near overhead lines , the
location will be such that the person and the longest conductive object he or she may
contact cannot come closer to any unguarded , energized overhead line than the following
distances:
(a) For voltages to ground 50kV or below -10 feet (305 cm);
(b) For voltages to ground over 50kV -10 feet (305 cm) plus 4 inches (10 cm) for every
1 OkV over 50kV.
(2) When an unqualified person is working on the ground in the vicinity of overhead lines , the
person may not bring any conductive object closer to unguarded, energized overhead lines
than the distances given in paragraph (c)(3)(i)(A) of 29 CFR 1910.333.
Note: For voltages normally encountered with overhead power line , objects which do not
have an insulating rating for the voltage involved are considered to be conductive .

(a) The person is insulated from the energized part (gloves , with sleeves if necessary , rated
for the voltage involved are considered to be insulation of the person from the energized
part on which work is performed), or
(b) The energized part is insulated both from all other conductive objects at a different
potential and from the person, or
(c) The person is insulated from all conductive objects at a potential different from that of
the energized part.
F. Vehicular and mechanical equipment.
(1) Any vehicle or mechanical equipment capable of having parts of its structure elevated near
energized overhead lines will be operated so that a clearance of 10 ft. (305 cm) is

for every 1 OkV over that voltage. However, under any of the following conditions , the
clearance may be reduced :
(a) If the vehicle is in transit with its structure lowered , the clearance may be reduced to 4
ft . (122 cm). If the voltage is higher than 50kV , the clearance will be increased 4 in. (10
cm) for every 10 kV over that voltage.
(b) If insultating barriers are installed to prevent contact with the lines, and if the barriers
are rated for the voltage of t he line being guarded and are not a part of or an attachment
to the vehicle or its raised structure , the clearance may be reduced to a distance within
the designed working dimensions of the insulating barrier.
(c) If the equipment is an aerial lift insulated for the voltage involved , and if the work is
performed by a qualified person, the clearance (between the uninsulated portion of the
aerial lift and the power line) may be reduced to the distance given in Table S-5 in 29
CFR 1910.333.

A. General.
(1) Scope
The training requirements contained in this section apply to employees who face a risk of
electric shock that is not reduced to a safe level by the electrical installation requirements of
1910.303 through 1910.308.
(2) Purpose
Safety-related work practices will be employed to prevent electric shock or other injuries
resulting from either direct or indirect electrical contacts, when work is performed near or on
equipment or circuits which are or may be energized. The specific safety-related work
practices will be consistent with the nature and extent of the associated electrical hazards.
B. Practices Addressed in this Program.
Employees will be trained in and familiar with the safety-related work practices required by
1910.331 through 1910.335 that pertain to their respective job assignments .
Application. This paragraph applies to work on exposed deenergized parts or near enough to
them to expose the employee to any electrical hazard they present. Conductors and parts of
electric equipment that have been deenergized but have not been locked out or tagged in
accordance with paragraph (b) of this section will be treated as energized parts, and paragraph
(c) of this section applies to work on or near them.
Lockout and Tagging. While any employee is exposed to contact with parts of fixed electric
equipment or circuits which have been deenergized, the circuits energizing the parts will be
locked out or tagged or both in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph. The
requirements will be followed in the order in which they are presented (i.e., 29 CFR 1910.333
paragraph (b)(2)(i) first, then paragraph (b)(2)(ii), etc .).
Note 1: As used in this section, fixed equipment refers to equipment fastened in place or
connected by permanent wiring methods.
Note 2: Lockout and tagging procedures that comply with paragraphs (c) through (f) of 1910.147
will also be deemed to comply with paragraph (b )(2) of 29 CFR 1910.333 provided that:
[1] The procedures address the electrical safety hazards covered by this procedure; and
[2] The procedures also incorporate the requirements of paragraphs (b)(2)(iii)(D) and
(b)(2)(iv)(B) of 29 CFR 1910.332.

C. Working on or Near Exposed Energized Parts.
(1) Application. This paragraph applies to work performed on exposed live parts (involving either
direct contact or by means of tools or materials) or near enough to them for employees to be
exposed to any hazard they present.
(2) Work on energized equipment. Only qualified persons may work on electric circuit parts or
equipment that have not been deenergized under the procedures of paragraph (b) of 29 CFR
1910 .333. Such persons will be capable of working safely on energized circuits and will be
familiar with the proper use of special precautionary techniques, personal protective
equipment, insulating and shielding materials, and insulated tools .
(3) Overhead lines. If work is to be performed near overhead lines, the lines will be deenergized
and grounded, or other protective measures will be provided before work is started. If the
lines are to be deenergized, arrangements will be made with the person or organization that
operates or controls the electric circuits involved to de-energize and ground them. If
protective measures, such as guarding, isolating, or insulating, are provided, these
precautions will prevent employees from contacting such lines directly with any part of their
body or indirectly through conductive materials, tools, or equipment.
Note: The work practices used by qualified persons installing insulating devices on overhead
power transmission or distribution lines are covered by 1910.269, not by 1910 .332 through
1910.335 of 29 CFR. Under paragraph (c)(2), unqualified persons are prohibited from
performing this type of work.
D. Unqualified Persons.
(1) When an unqualified person is working in an elevated position near overhead lines, the
location will be such that the person and the longest conductive object he or she may contact
cannot come closer to any unguarded, energized overhead line than the following distances:
(a) For voltages to ground 50kV or below -10 feet (305 cm);
(b) For voltages to ground over 50kV -10 feet (305 cm) plus 4 inches (10 cm) for every
1 OkV over 50kV.
(2) When an unqualified person is working on the ground in the vicinity of overhead lines, the
person may not bring any conductive object closer to unguarded, energized overhead lines
than the distances given in paragraph (c)(3)(i)(A) of 29 CFR 1910.333.
Note: For voltages normally encountered with overhead power line , objects which do not
have an insulating rating for the voltage involved are considered to be conductive.

L. Temporary Wiring.
Temporary electrical power and lighting installations 600 volts or less , including flexible cords,
cables and extension cords , may only be used during and for renovation , maintenance, repair, or
experimental work . Temporary wiring may also be used for decorative lighting for special events
and similar purposes for a period not to exceed 90 days . The following additional requirements
apply:
• Ground-fault protection (e.g., ground-fault circuit interrupters, or GFCI) must be provided on
all temporary-wiring circuits , including extension cords, used on construction sites.
• In general, all equipment and tools connected by cord and plug must be grounded. Listed
or labeled double insulated tools and appliances need not be grounded. For information on
exceptions to these requirements , please contact EHSS .
• Feeders must originate in an approved distribution center, such as a panelboard, that is
rated for the voltages and currents the system is expected to carry .
• Branch circuits must originate in an approved power outlet or panelboard.
• Neither bare conductors nor earth returns may be used for the wiring of any temporary
circuit.
• Receptacles must be of the grounding type. Unless installed in a complete metallic
raceway , each branch circuit must contain a separate equipment-grounding conductor, and
all receptacles must be electrically connected to the grounding conductor.
• Flexible cords and cables must be of an approved type and suitable for the location and
intended use. They may only be used for pendants, wiring of fixtures , connection of
portable lamps or appliances , elevators, hoists, connection of stationary equipment where
frequently interchanged , prevention of transmission of noise or vibration , data processing
cables, or where needed to permit maintenance or repair. They may not be used as a
substitute for the fixed wiring, where run through holes in walls , ceilings or floors, where run
through doorways, windows or similar openings , where attached to building surfaces , or
where concealed behind building walls , ceilings or floors.
• Suitable disconnecting switches or plug connects must be installed to permit the
disconnection of all ungrounded conductors of each temporary circuit.
• Lamps for general illumination must be protected from accidental contact or damage , either
by elevating the fixture or by providing a suitable guard. Handlamps supplied by flexible
cord must be equipped with a handle of molded composition or other approved material
and must be equipped with a substantial bulb guard.

GENERAL
All safety equipment should be checked regularly to make sure it is complete and fully
operational!
The right-hand guard and chain catcher stud is designed to protect you if the chain jumps off or
breaks.
Kick-back
Kickback is a danger whenever you use a chain saw carelessly. That's why it's so important to use
the right chain saw techniques. The risk of accidents is lowered with kickback protection that can
include a chain brake among other devices. And you get even better protection from a manually
activated chain brake system.
The upper edge of the guide bar tip is the kickback sector. Using that sector in your work entails a
risk of kickback . This is what happens at kickback: When the kick-back sector of the chain makes
•he first contact with the wood being sawed, the chain will "grab" and the whole saw will be
hrown backwards violently.
Kickback can occur during limbing work when the guide bar tip hits:
1: ... logs and stumps under the tree; or
2: ... hidden limbs; or
3: ... ends of logs.
Another danger is while you are clearing off limbs prior to felling.
It's sometimes necessary to insert the guide bar into the tree trunk during felling or cross cutting.
When this is done, you must be careful not to place the kickback sector directly against the wood . If
you do, there is a greater danger of kickback.
Most people like to do a good job and work efficiently. In felling work, when everything is running
smoothly and the job is not too demanding physically, things probably feel right. But are the logs
arranged as the machine operator would like? Have environmental factors been taken into account?
Has the time been utilized most effectively? Was sufficient attention given to safety? If the right
working methods are used, the answer to all these questions will be "yes".

It Pays to Keep on Learning:
Pretty well all aspects of forestry have been studied and improved over the years . Experience has
shown that it pays to invest in training for fellers or cutters. The benefits soon follow in the form of
fewer accidents , increased productivity and better environmental results -all adding up to greater
profitability. Yet it is so easy to stick to the way one has always worked . Traditions are certainly
worth maintaining but, in forestry, a willingness to accept change is essential.
Always have your first-aid kit close to hand where you are working
Never Compromise Safety:
Sometimes there is only a very fine line between what is safe and what is dangerous. So you must
always be sure of what you are doing. If in doubt -don 't.
To an increasing extent, forestry today requires more brain than brawn. Insist on being given the
training you need to keep your knowledge and skills up to date. Learn the correct techniques so that
vou can avoid unnecessary exertion, and work efficiently but safely.
There are a few basic rules for safety . They are perhaps obvious to you, as a professional but
repeating them here will do no harm.
Trousers with Saw Protection:
Protective fibers are drawn into the saw and stop the chain by clogging it.
Exactly what you need depends on the nature of the work you are going to do . But whether the work
is quick and simple or long and complex , safety must always come first. That's why you must always
wear the right clothing.
Protective Clothing:
A protective helmet with visor and earmuffs; safety-orange color, well-ventilated working shirt or
jacket; protective trousers; gloves; protective boots, low or high; first aid kit.
Other Equipment:
Tool belt (with lifting hooks , tongs, measuring tape, file, wedge, etc). Felling lever (or axe and
wedge).

Recommended Starting Method:
Place your right foot firmly on the rear handle, grab the front handle with the left hand and pull the
starting handle with your right hand . This is the proper method for starting a cold engine utilizing the
half-throttle setting.
NEVER DROP-START A CHAINSAW!
Some Basic Rules for Chain Saw Work:
Thumb Grip.
Hold both handles firmly.
Make sure your thumb is under the front handle.
Keep it Close to You!
'-iold the saw close to your body. This gives better balance and makes the saw feel lighter.
Chain Brake and Chain Oiling:
Once the saw is running , check the chain brake function by pushing forward on the front hand guard.
The chain should stop. The chain lubrication should be checked by holding the guide bar over a
stump and revving the engine. If a line of oil appears on the stump, the system is working properly .
Carrying the Saw:
Make sure the chain does not move while you 're carrying the saw. It's best to turn off the engine if
you 're going to carry the saw a long way, but you can also engage the chain brake to lock the chain.
Always carry the saw with the guide bar pointing backwards !
Use a "Buddy" System:
Do your best to always work in pairs when you work in the forest with a chain saw . That way one can
always help the other in case of an accident. However, make sure you work far enough from each
other so that there is no danger of felling into the other person 's work area. (Keep a distance equal to
double the height of the tree you 're felling). If you have to work alone , ask someone to check on you
regularly .
Balance:
:v1 ake certain you stand firmly with your feet apart. This will give you a good working balance .

Bend at the Knees:
Whenever you must use the saw in a low position, bend your knees. This will reduce strain on your
back.
Before Felling:
It is very important to use correct felling techniques. The trees must be felled in a safe way, falling in
the right direction , if the work is to continue smoothly and to avoid damaging more of the trunk than
necessary. Many factors influence felling work: Type of wood , weather, tree angle, tree size , etc.
Safety Distance:
Make sure no one is in the danger zone before you begin felling . Your danger zone is a distance
equal to double the height of the tree you're felling.
Felling Direction:
u should begin planning the felling direction while you are approaching the tree. Take note of the
angle at which the tree is leaning, the crown overhang, other trees nearby, the surrounding terrain
and wind direction.
Check the condition of the tree itself. Look to see if there are any branches that might fall on you
after you begin sawing.
Choose the felling direction keeping in mind the other work to be done on that tree. Limbing is easier
and safer if it can be carried out at the proper height. While it's sometimes possible to make a tree
fall in a direction other than the angle it is leaning at, this requires special techniques and greater
effort. At times it 's completely impossible to do .
Limbing and Preparation of a Path of Retreat:
Cut off all lower branches and clear away any underbrush that might get in your way or hamper your
work. Work on limbing from the top down and keep the tree trunk between you and the chain saw.
Never limb above shoulder level. Check and clear a path of retreat for yourself, away from the tree at
an angle opposite to the felling direction.
Felling Lever:
This felling aid is commonly used with fairly small trees. There are various models with varying
ndle lengths. The felling lever should be placed in the middle of and as far back in the felling cut as
1s possible. That way the leverage is at a maximum . Be very careful to lift using your legs , not your
back!

Felling Wedge:
Felling larger trees may require the use of a notch. Place the wedge in the felling cut before it is
completed. After the hinge is made, the wedge is hammered home. Sometimes more than one
wedge is needed.
FELLING TECHNIQUES
Directional felling -the basics
You can determine the direction a given tree will fall by felling according to a specific
system . The basic steering mechanism consists of making three cuts and creating a
felling hinge.
1. Directional notch
-Notch with at least 45 ° opening and a depth of about 1/4 to 1/5 of the trunk
diameter.
The felling cut.
3. Hinge.
4. Felling direction.
The first two cuts create the directional notch and are made on the side the tree is to fall
on. After the directional notch has been cut out, the felling cut is made on the side away
from the planned fall and slightly above the foot of the notch. However, they must not
meet. Depending on the size and thickness of the tree, a hinge ranging between 1/10 to
1/6 of the trunk diameter, is left uncut between the directional notch and the felling cut.
This is the hinge on which the tree pivots when it falls and is the key to steering the tree
in a chosen direction .
1. Directional notch
2. Felling direction and felling cut
3. Hinge
Felling a Tree:
Step 1 -The Top Cut.
The directional notch consists of two separate cuts. The first is the top cut. If the
diameter of the tree trunk is greater than the length of the guide bar, it will be necessary
to complete the top cut from the other side.

HP .615 Br ian Morel
Step 2 -The Undercut.
Make the undercut so that it meets the top cut exactly. If you miss , you can always
adjust it afterwards. The final angle should be at least 45 °. The undercut should have a
depth of about 1/4-1/5 of the trunk diameter and should be sawn diagonally upwards to
create an open notch.
Step 3 -The Felling Cut.
Once the directional notch is complete, the felling cut can be made. Don 't forget to leave
a thick enough hinge! The method for making the felling cut depends on the thickness of
the trunk and the length of your guide bar.
There are several tools, such as felling levers, wedges and felling cushions available.
They make sure the saw is not pinched in the felling cut. They also make the felling of
the tree simpler.
Make sure there is enough fuel in the tank before beginning the felling cut. Running out
')f fuel in the middle of the cut can be dangerous.
After the Felling Cut -Retreat:
After you have completed the felling cut , the tree should fall in the direction you chose , although it
may require the use of one of the felling tools. At this point you should move to safety several yards
diagonally behind the tree, before it hits the ground. For very large trees, the safety distance should
be even greater. The reason is that the trunk may fall slightly sideways , jump backwards or slide .
Felling Trees with a Diameter up to Double the Guide Bar Length:
Step 1.
First insert the chain saw , leading with the bottom edge of the saw (pulling chain) to avoid kickback .
Step 2.
Continue the cut until the correct hinge width is reached. Before making the swing part of the felling
cut, saw back about the width of the guide bar. That way the hinge will not be severed.
Step 3.
Vlake the swing cut , being careful not to saw the hinge on the other side. Use a felling lever or a
wedge before the felling cut is complete to keep the tree from falling backwards.

Insert the chain saw in the middle of the directional notch, leading with the bottom edge of the saw
(pulling chain) to avoid kickback.
Step 2.
Continue the insert and swinging cut as above , making sure the hinge is thicker than normal to
compensate for the insert cut. sea felling lever or a wedge as required.
Felling Small Trees that Lean the Wrong Way:
Sometimes it is difficult to insert a felling lever when you want to fell a small tree the opposite way to
which it is leaning.
'3tep 1.
Cut a small section of the felling cut and place the felling lever in position.
Step 2.
Saw the rest of the felling cut with a slightly diagonal cut with the point of the saw passing under the
felling lever. That way there is no danger of cutting into the felling lever.
Felling Trees Leaning at a Sharp Angle:
If you are planning to fell a tree which leans strongly in the direction you have chosen, there is a
danger the tree will begin to fall before you have finished making the felling cut. This could result in
the tree falling in the wrong direction or the wood splitting.
Step 1 ..
Cut a normal directional notch.
Step 2.
Make a bore cut behind the hinge by inserting the saw straight through the tree. First saw up to the
hinge. Then saw backwards, leaving a small heel in the felling cut. This heel will keep the tree from
alling. Pull the saw out of the tree.

Step 3.
Now saw off the heel from the rear. Be ready to move out of the way of the tree quickly when it
begins to fall.
NOTE! Don 't stand directly behind the tree
Felling with a V-cut:
Cut two directional notches at an angle to each other and with the point where they intersect pointing
towards the desired direction of fall (direction of lean). Make sure this intersection point lies
inside the edge of the tree. Make the felling cut in stages and at exactly 90 ° to the felling direction.
The tree should fall relatively slowly and without any further problems.
1. 1st directional notch
2 . 2nd directional notch
3. Felling cut
felling Trees that Lean at an Angle Away from the Felling Direction:
This method can be used if you want to fell a tree that leans obliquely away from the desired felling
di rection. Cut the directional notch on the side you want the tree to fall , regardless of lean. Begin the
felling cut towards the lean side and cut it so that the hinge is larger on the side opposite to the way
the tree is leaning. When the tree begins to fall, the larger end of the hinge should pull the tree in the
right direction .
1. Direction of lean.
2 . Desired felling d irection .
3 . Hinge thicker on this side .
NOTE! Begin the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning towards.
Felling Trees that Split Easily
Normal Felling Cut:
One way to avoid splitting is to place the felling cut higher than normal. That way any splits are
reta i ned in the stump , which is important with certain tree types . However, because of the risk of
twisted fibres in the stump , a hinge which is thicker than usual is important. Remember that you do
not have full control of the felling d irection when using this method , since the heel formed when the
:ell ing cut is made releases the tree rather early .

Felling Cut with Reverse Directional Notch:
Another way to make sure any splits stay in the stump instead of in the end of the trunk , is to make a
reverse directional notch. However, make sure that the two cuts used to create the directional notch
meet exactly. In this method the felling cut need not be higher up than normal , so it is a safer
method.
Trees with Extended Roots:
Extended roots often cause splitting and should be removed if they sit along the sides . But even with
such precautions certain tree types can easily split. This can sometimes be avoided by creating so-
called "ears". They are made by sawing a shallow cut at each end of the hinge. This removes fibers
that might create splits along the edges .
"Cutting out the Heart" Felling Technique:
Some tree types like beech build-up a great deal of tension in the heart of the trunk. Th is makes
+hem very prone to splits and cracks . "Cutting out the heart" is the preventative method. Once the
irectional notch is made , the saw is inserted through the deepest part of the cut , and the center of
the tree trunk is cut off. It must be done before the felling cut is made. Since part of the hinge is cut
off this way , the rest of the hinge must be made thicker. Be especially careful of kickback when you
insert the saw to cut the heart .
Felling with a Swinging Effect:
Sometimes there are other trees standing in your chosen fell i ng direction . This is especially common
when thinning .
Suggested Method for Felling with a Swinging Effect:
You want to fell the tree in the p icture in the direction of the sma l l arrow . However, the crown of the
tree in front is in the way . By following these steps you can "swing" your tree around the crown of the
tree in front. However, the method is on ly suggested for small trees with diameters under six inches .
Step 1.
Cut a directional notch as usual , facing the felling direction.
Step 2.
rhe usual felling cut is made, except tha t you make the hinge on the left side somewhat thicker and
angle the saw so that the right side of the hinge is completely severed. Press the tree towards the
right.

Since the hinge there is cut off at one end , it will be possible to press the tree in that direction. This
creates a lean allowing the tree crown to go around the tree in front. If you then push the tree back
into the felling path, it will fall exactly where you wanted it.
Felling a Hanging Tree:
Sometimes a tree will be felled right into another one and hang. Such a situation can be very
dangerous and the safest way to clear it is to use a winch or other machine. If you don 't have access
to these , you can get the tree down in the following way:
Decide which direction the tree can best be rolled free .
Finish the felling cut and cut the hinge , leaving a small part on the side you have chosen to roll the
tree.
Use a cant hook or something similar to roll the tree away from you .
"<eep your back straight.
If the tree is large or jammed hard against the other tree you can try adding a longer handle to the
cant hook or using a pull rope.
Remember to lift correctly, with a straight back!
Never try to fell the tree you felled into.
Never fell another tree onto the hanging one .
Never work within the danger zone of the hanging tree.
Never roll the tree towards you!
LIMBING TECHNIQUES
General Technique:
Working Height.
Work at a comfortable height and avoid working bending over. This can be done by planning ahead
a nd by correct felling. You can use already felled trees , rocks or parts of the terrain.

Here are some suggestions for limbing in various situations. Reality will often demand combinations
of several of these limbing methods. Whichever method you choose, remember these basic rules:
Rule 1.
DON'T MOVE YOUR FEET when you are sawing on the same side of the trunk as you are standing.
~ule 2.
The weight of the saw should be against the trunk, not against your leg.
Rule 3.
Lead with your left leg . This illustration shows the correct position when starting limbing with the lever
method.
The Lever Method:
In this method the saw is used as a lever, with the saw body resting against either the tree trunk or
the leg as much as possible . The method is very useful for limbing trees with symmetrically placed
branches. Pulling and pushing chains are discussed in the section on working techniques. Pulling
refers to the under side of the guide bar, while pushing refers to the topside. Using the tip of the
guide bar should be avoided because of the danger of kickback.
Lever Method Starting Position:
Note the stance used , with the feet well apart. Rest the saw against the trunk. Bend your knees!
Note that the same stance is used for all six steps of the limbing sequence.

Branch 1.
Should be sawed from below using pushing chain. Sometimes it will be necessary to use a pulling
chain from above because of the size of the branch. Otherwise the chain might be pinched in the
wood. After cutting branch one, lean the saw against the trunk .
Branch 2.
The guide bar is resting on the trunk. Saw using pushing chain , leaning a little outward with your legs
to leave room for the saw.
Branch 3.
Rest the saw body against the right leg. Use pulling chain.
Branch 4.
"v1ove the saw forwards using your right thigh , but leave your foot in place. The saw rests on that leg
nd a pushing chain is used. Only in case of particularly large branches should you use a pulling
chain.
Branch 5.
Rest the saw against the trunk. Use your thumb on the throttle and a pushing chain .
Branch 6.
Rest the saw against the trunk and use a pulling chain. If you have adequate working height to reach
the branches under the trunk , cut them away. Otherwise begin the limbing sequence again at Branch
1. If you keep the guide bar on the opposite side of the trunk while you are repositioning yourself, the
trunk itself will serve as a guard. If the distance between the branches is too great to follow the whole
sequence described below , stop after step 3. Move over and begin again with step 1. Remember to
move the guide bar before you move your feet.
Sweep Limbing Method:
This limbing method is good for working on tree trunks with many thin branches or with unevenly
spaced branches. Even though the work is quick and efficient , the weight of the saw is not
transferred as efficiently as in the lever method .

Movement Steps:
1. Limb the trunk's left side.
2 . Limb the top side plus part of the right.
3. Limb the right side plus part of the bottom.
4. Moving the saw forward and from the right to the left side.
The same foot position is used during all steps 1, 2, 3, 4. Starting position: stable stance with right
leg 4 to 6 inches from trunk .
Step 1.
Pushing chain.
Length of swing should be 2 to 3 feet.
Step 2.
Pulling chain .
Saw resting against trunk.
Saw close to operator.
Body weight mostly on left leg.
Step 3.
Pushing chain.
Body weight moves from the right leg at the beginning of the swing to the left at the end.
Step 4.
Saw remains on right side of trunk .
Right foot moves forward first.
Put saw weight on trunk.
This method of moving allows change of foot position while using the trunk both as protection and as
a resting place for the saw . When the change of foot position is completed, the saw is lifted to the left
side in one motion and a new sequence 1-3 can begin. Underside limbing is done the same way in
sweep limbing as in lever limbing.

Limbing Thick Branches:
In some cases it can be difficult to use the usual limbing methods. This is often true with hardwood
and other trees with heavy, splayed branches . In order to avoid pinching the guide bar , cut the
branches in stages starting from the outside. This means the weight is removed before you get to the
really heavy cut near the trunk . The methods for limbing thick branches are often quite similar to the
cross cutting method. Remember -Think before you saw!
Pinching and splitting can be avoided by limbing in the following order:
Step 1.
Cut off branches that get in the way of your work.
Step 2.
Next cut off branches with high internal $tress. These will often have to be cut in stages to relieve the
·ension.
Step 3.
Finish off by cross cutting the main branch.
Use the right methods.
Keep in mind that branches can be under considerable tension. This can be seen in how the tree and
the branch itself moves.
Keep the guide bar vertical to diminish the risk of pinching. If the branches are very large it may be
necessary to make meeting cuts from two different directions in order to avoid pinching or splitting.
When a branch is both under strain and oversize, meeting cuts must often be made. As can be
seen, one of the cuts is very wide in order to prevent pinching the guide bar.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Material handling can be a major source of occupational injuries whether the work is done
manually or with mechanical assistance. Jobs that involve manual , mechanical , or
repetitive handling present the highest risk of injury.
2.0 SUMMARY
Material handling requires careful consideration of many factors including the area of
ergonomics. Every job that involves manual , mechanical or repetitive handling should have
a job analysis performed to determine how worker injury can be minimized.
Most back injuries that occur on the job are a result of poor lifting technique. Lifting and
carrying objects should be designed out of jobs whenever possible . When lifting cannot be
avoided , employees should get assistance with heavy and awkward object. The risk of
injury can be reduced by staying in good physical shape , planning the lift and removing all
obstacles, getting a good grip , getting load close to the body , and lifting with the legs .
Avoid twisting the back and lifting a load above shoulder height. Lower the load carefully ,
again bending the knees and keeping the back straight.
3.0 TRAINING
Each department is required to provide adequate training to all employees who are
susceptible to material handling injuries. This would include proper lifting techniques ,
proper adjustment of workstations , and specialized tra ining in how to use material handling
equipment on the job. OSHA specifies that employees involved in the following materials
handling operations must receive training:
• Powered Industrial Trucks
• Cranes
• Powered Platforms
• Servicing Multi-piece Rim Wheels
4.0 INSPECTIONS
Mechanical equipment: Both "frequent" and "periodic" inspections must be conducted of
powered industrial trucks and cranes .

A. Scope
This program applies to all Eagle personnel working on sandblasters.
B. Training
Employees required to handle or use poisons, caustics, and other harmful substances will be
instructed regarding the safe handling and use, and be made aware of the potential hazards,
personal hygiene , and personal protective measures required. In addition , the training will
include information about adverse health effects, work practices , and HAZCOM for all
employees subject to silica exposure.
C. Silicosis
(1) When workers inhale the crystalline silica: used in abrasive blasting, the lung tissue
reacts by developing fibrotic nodules and scarring around the trapped silica particles
[Silicosis and Silicate Disease Committee 1988]. This fibrotic condition of the lung is
called silicosis . If the nodules grow too large, breathing becomes difficult and death may
result. Silicosis victims are also at high risk of developing active tuberculosis [Myers et
al. 1973; Sherson and Lander 1990; Bailey et al. 197 4].
(2) The silica sand used in abrasive blasting typically fractures into fine particles and
becomes airborne (see Figure 1 ). Inhalation of such silica appears to produce a more
severe lung reaction than silica that is not freshly fractured [Vallyathan et al. 1988]. This
factor may contribute to the development of acute and accelerated forms of silicosis
among sandblasters .
(3) A worker may develop any of three types of silicosis , depending on the airborne
concentration of crystalline silica:
(a) Chronic silicosis , which usually occurs after 10 or more years of exposure to
crystalline silica at relatively low concentrations
(b) Accelerated silicosis , which results from exposure to high concentrations of
crystalline silica and develops 5 to 10 years after the initial exposure.
(c) Acute silicosis, which occurs where exposure concentrations are the highest and
can cause symptoms to develop within a few weeks to 4 or 5 years after the
initial exposure [Peters 1986; Ziskind et al. 1976].

(4) Silicosis (especially the acute form) is characterized by shortness of breath , fever , and
cyanosis (bluish skin); it may often be misdiagnosed as pulmonary edema (fluid in the
lungs), pneumonia , or tuberculosis. Severe mycobacterial or fungal infections often
complicate silicosis and may be fatal in many cases [Ziskind et al. 1976; Owens et al.
1988 ;
Ba iley et al. 197 4]. Fungal or mycobacterial infections are believed to result when the
lung scavenger cells (macrophages) that fight these diseases are overwhelmed with
silica dust and are unable to kill mycobacteria and other organisms [Allison and Hart
1968 ; Ng and Chan 1991].
About half of the mycobacterial infections are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis ,
with the other half caused by M. kansasii and M. avium-intracellular [Owens et al. 1988].
Nocardia and Cryptococcus may also cause lung infections in sil icosis victims [Ziskind
et al. 1976]. Investigations usually show the lungs to be filled with silica crystals and a
protein material [Owens et al. 1988 ; Buechner and Ansari 1969].
D. NIOSH Recommendations and Engineering Controls
NIOSH recommends the following measures to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the
workplace and prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths :
(1) Prohibit silica sand (or other substances containing more than 1 % crystalline silica) as
an abrasive blasting material and substitute less hazardous materials .
(a) The risk of silicosis is h igh in workers exposed to abrasive blasting w ith silica ,
and the hazard is difficult to control. NIOSH has therefore recommended since
197 4 that silica sand ( or other substances containing more than 1 % crystalline
sil ica) be prohibited as abrasive blasting material [NIOSH 1974b, NIOSH 1990a].
A variety of materia ls (corundum , glass beads , pumice , sawdust , slags , steel grit
and shot , and walnut shells) are available as alternative blasting media [NIOSH
197 4c ; Mackay et al. 1980 ; Stettler et al. 1988]. However, no comprehensive
studies have been conducted to evaluate the health effects of these substitute
materials. Until comprehensive data are available , engineering controls and
personal protective equipment should be used with any of the alternative
abrasives.
(b) In addition to the health hazards of abrasive blasting materials , the finely
fractured particles of material being removed (lead paint , for example) may also
create health risks for workers [NIOSH 1991 a].

S HP .618 Brian Morel
(2) Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
Air monitoring should be performed to measure worker exposure to airborne crystalline
silica and to provide a basis for selecting engineering controls. Air monitoring should be
performed as needed to measure the effectiveness of controls. Air samples should be
collected and analyzed according to NIOSH Method Nos. 7500 and 7602 [NIOSH 1984]
or their equivalent.
(3) Use containment methods such as blast-cleaning machines and cabinets to control the
hazard and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
(a) Blast-Cleaning Machines and Cabinets
Whenever possible , blasting should be done in enclosed blast-cleaning machines
or cabinets . These devices permit operators to stand outside the cabinet and
direct the stream of abrasive material inside with the hands and arms in gloved
armholes.
(b) Abrasive Blasting Rooms
Abrasive blasting rooms contain the hazard and protect adjacent workers from
exposure. However, such rooms may increase the risk for blasters , since they
must work inside the enclosure in high concentrations of hazardous blasting
material. Blasting rooms must be ventilated to reduce these concentrations and
to increase visibility. A supplied-air respirator is required for any blaster working
inside a blasting room ( see Respirator Protection below).
(c) Portable Blast-Cleaning Equipment
Portable blast-cleaning equipment presents particularly serious health problems
because engineering controls are rarely used. Curtains can be used as
temporary containment structures to reduce the hazard to adjacent workers and
the general public. However, such temporary structures often leak and may allow
large amounts of debris to escape. As with abrasive blasting rooms , these
structures should be ventilated to reduce concentrations of hazardous materials
and to increase visibility. During work inside the containment, a supplied-air
respirator is required for the blaster.
(d) Ventilation of Conta inment Structures
All containment structures should be ventilated to maintain a continuous air flow
and prevent any leakage of dust to the outside. Exhaust air should be discharged
to the outside through an appropriate dust collector. The dust collector should be
set up so that accumulated dust can be removed without contaminating work
areas . Detailed requirements are listed in the OSHA vent ilation standard [29 CFR
1910.94].

(4) Practice good personal hygiene to avoid unnecessary exposure to s ilica dust.
The following personal hygiene practices are important elements of any program for
protecting workers from exposure to crystalline silica and other contaminants such as
lead during abras ive blasting operations [NIOSH 1991 a].
(a) All sandblasters should wash their hands and faces before eating , drinking , or
smoking.
(b) Sandblasters should not eat , drink, or use tobacco products in the blasting area .
(c) Workers should shower before leaving the worksite.
(d) Workers should park their cars where they will not be contaminated with silica
and other substances such as lead.
(5) Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at the worksite ; shower and change
into clean clothes before leaving the worksite to prevent contamination of cars , homes ,
and other work areas . The following measures should be taken to assure that the
blasters' dusty clothes do not contaminate cars , homes , or worksites other than the
blasting area:
(a) Workers should change into disposable or washable work clothes at the worksite.
(b) Workers should change into clean clothes before leaving the works ite.
(6) Use respiratory protection when source controls cannot keep silica exposures below the
NIOSH REL.
(a) Respirators should not be used as the only means of preventing or minimizing
exposures to airborne contaminants . Effective source controls such as
substitution , automation , conta inment, local exhaust ventilat ion , and good work
practices should be implemented to minimize worker exposure to silica dust.
NIOSH prefers such measures as the primary means of protecting workers.
However, when source controls cannot keep exposures below the NIOSH REL,
controls should be supplemented with the use of respiratory protection during
abrasive blasting.
(b) When respirators are used , the employer must establish a comprehensive
respiratory protection program as outlined in the NIOSH Guide to Industrial
Respiratory Protection [NIOSH 1987a] and as required in the OSHA respiratory
protection standard [29 CFR 1910.134]. Important elements of this standard are :
( 1) an evaluation of the worker's ability to perform the work while wearing a
respirator ,
(2) regular training of personnel ,
(3) periodic environmental monitori ng,
( 4) respirator fit t esting ,

(5) maintenance , inspection , cleaning , and storage , and
(6) selection of proper NIOSH-approved respirators.
(c) The respiratory protection program should be evaluated regularly by the
employer.
NIOSH recommends that workers wear the type CE abrasive blasting respirator
operated in the positive-pressure mode (APF of 2 ,000) during abrasive blasting
operations that involve crystalline silica. For other operations , Table 1 lists the minimum
respiratory equipment required to meet the NIOSH REL for crystalline silica under given
conditions . Workers should wear the most protective respirator that is feasible and
consistent with the tasks to be performed . For additional information about respirator
selection, consult the NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic [NIOSH 1987b]. Workers
should use only those respirators that have been certified by NIOSH and MSHA [NIOSH
1991b].
(7) Provide periodic medical examinations for all workers who may be exposed to
crystalline silica . Medical examinations should be available to all workers who may be
exposed to crystalline silica. Such examinations should occur before job placement and
at least every 3 years thereafter [NIOSH 197 4b]. More frequent examinations (for
example , annual) may be necessary for workers at risk of acute or accelerated silicosis .
Examinations should include at least the following items:
(a) A medical and occupational history to collect data on worker exposure to
crystalline s ilica and signs and symptoms of respiratory disease
(b) A chest X-ray classified according to the 1980 International Labour Office (ILO)
Classification of Rad iographs of the Pneumoconioses [ILO 1981]
(c) Pulmonary funct ion testing (spirometry)
( d) An annual evaluation for tuberculosis [A TS /CDC 1986]
(8) Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to inform them about required
protective equipment.
Signs should be posted to warn workers about the hazard and specify any protective
equipment required (for example , respirators). The sample sign in Figure 2 contains the
information needed for a silica work area where respirators are required.
(9) Provide workers with training that includes information about health effects , work
practices , and protective equipment for crystalline silica.

NIOSH encourages reporting of all cases of silicosis to the State health departments
and to OSHA or MSHA. To enhance the uniformity of reporting , NIOSH has developed
reporting guidelines and a surveillance case defin ition for silicosis (see Appendix). This
definition and these guidelines are recommended for surveillance of work-related
silicosis by State health departments and regulatory agencies receiving reports of cases
from physicians and other health care providers [CDC 1990].

Restrictions
DO NOT operate without instructions from your supervisor. (NOTE: Some activities will
require permits before starting work.)
Major Hazards
• Torque is the circular or rotating motion in too ls such as drills , impact wrenches , and
saws that results in a strong twisting force. Be prepared in case of jamming.
• Have good footing; use two hands , help as assigned , and be ready to release the
power switch or trigger (this should be fail-safe so that it cannot be locked "on "). Watch
for "coasting " or idling motion.
• Flying objects can result from operating almost any power tool , so you must always
warn people around you and use proper eye protection.

1.0 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
Crushed hands and arms, severed fingers, blindness, etc. are part of a list of possible
machinery-related injuries. A good rule to remember is that any machine part,
function, or process which may cause injury, must be safeguarded. When the
operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure the operator or others in
the vicinity, the hazards must be either controlled or eliminated.
1.2 Summary of Requirements
One or more methods of machine guarding shall be provided to protect the operator
and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by
point of operation, nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks. Examples of
guarding methods are barrier guards, two-hand tripping devices, electronic safety
devices, etc .
• Guards shall be affixed to the machine where possible and secured elsewhere if
for any reason attachment to the machine is not possible. The guard shall be such
that it does not offer an accident hazard in itself.
• Whenever engineering controls are not available or are not fully capable of
protecting the employee, operators must wear personal protective equipment.
2.0 TRAINING
Specific and detailed training is a crucial part of any effort to provided safeguarding
against machine-related hazards. Thorough operator training should involve instructions
or hands-on training in the following:
• A description and identification of the hazards associated with particular machines;
• The safeguards themselves, how they provide protection, and the hazards for which
they are intended;
• How to use the safeguards and why;
• How and under what circumstances safeguards can be removed, and by whom; and
• What to do if a safeguard is damaged , missing, or unable to provide adequate
protection.

(d) Emergency response or responding to emergencies means a response effort by
employees from outside the immediate release area or by other designated
responders (i.e., mutual aid groups, loca l fire departments , etc.) to an occurrence
which results , or is likely to result , in an uncontrolled release of a hazardous
substance. Responses to incidental releases of hazardous substances where
the substance can be absorbed , neutralized , or otherwise controlled at the time
of release by employees in the immediate release area, or by maintenance
personnel are not considered to be emergency responses within the scope of this
standard . Responses to releases of hazardous substances where there is no
potential safety or health hazard (i.e., fire , explosion , or chemical exposure) are
not considered to be emergency responses.

handle and control actual or potential leaks or spills of hazardous substances
requiring possible close approach to the substance. The team members perform
responses to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances for the
purpose of control or stabilization of the incident. A HAZMAT team is not a fire
brigade nor is a typical fire brigade a HAZMAT team. A HAZMAT team ,
however, may be a separate component of a fire brigade or fire department.
(g) Hazardous substance means any substance designated or listed under (A)
through (D) of th is definition , exposure to which results or may result in adverse
effects on the health or safety of employees:
[A] Any substance defined under section 101 (14) of CERCLA;

(k) PPE and emergency equipment.
(I) Emergency response organizations may use the local emergency
response plan or the state emergency response plan or both, as part of their
emergency response plan to avoid duplication . Those items of the emergency
response plan that are being properly addressed by the SARA Title Ill plans may
be substituted into their emergency plan or otherwise kept together for the
employer and employee's use.
F. Procedures for Handling Emergency Response.
(1) The senior emergency response official responding to an emergency will become the
individual in charge of a site-specific Incident Command System (ICS). All emergency
responders and their communications will be coordinated and controlled through the
individual in charge of the ICS assisted by the senior official present for each employer.
NOTE TO (q)(3)(i). -The "senior official" at an emergency response is the most senior
official on the site who has the responsibility for controlling the operations at the site.
Initially it is the senior officer on the first-due piece of responding emergency apparatus
to arrive on the incident scene. As more senior officers arrive (i.e. , battalion chief, fire
chief, state law enforcement official, site coordinator, etc.) the position is passed up the
line of authority which has been previously established.
(3) The individual in charge of the ICS will identify , to the extent possible, all hazardous
substances or conditions present and will address as appropriate site analysis , use of
engineering controls, maximum exposure limits , hazardous substance handling
procedures, and use of any new technologies.
(4) Based on the hazardous substances and/or conditions present, the individual in charge
of the ICS will implement appropriate emergency operations, and assure that the
personal protective equipment worn is appropriate for the hazards to be encountered .
However, personal protective equipment will meet , at a minimum , the criteria contained
in 29 CFR 1910.156(e) when worn while performing fire fighting operations beyond the
incipient stage for any incident.
(5) Employees engaged in emergency response and exposed to hazardous substances
presenting an inhalation hazard or potential inhalation hazard will wear positive
pressure self-contained breathing apparatus while engaged in emergency response ,
until such time that the individual in charge of the ICS determines through the use of air
monitoring that a decreased level of respiratory protection will not result in hazardous
exposures to employees.

(6) The individual in charge of the ICS will limit the number of emergency response
personnel at the emergency site , in those areas of potential or actual exposure to
incident or site hazards, to those who are actively performing emergency operations.
However, operations in hazardous areas will be performed using the buddy system in
groups of two or more.
(7) Back-up personnel will be standing by with equipment ready to provide assistance or
rescue. Qualified basic life support personnel, as a minimum, will also be standing by
with medical equipment and transportation capability.
(8) The individual in charge of the ICS will designate a safety officer, who is knowledgeable
in the operations being implemented at the emergency response site, with specific
responsibility to identify and evaluate hazards and to provide direction with respect to
the safety of operations for the emergency at hand.
(9) When activities are judged by the safety officer to be an IDLH and/or to involve an
imminent danger condition, the sc=ifety officer will have the authority to alter, suspend, or
terminate those activities . The safety official will immediately inform the individual in
charge of the ICS of any actions needed to be taken to correct these hazards at the
emergency scene.
(10) After emergency operations have terminated , the individual in charge of the ICS will
implement appropriate decontamination procedures.
(11) When deemed necessary for meeting the tasks at hand , approved self-contained
compressed air breathing apparatus may be used with approved cylinders from other
approved self-contained compressed air breathing apparatus provided that such
cylinders are of the same capacity and pressure rating. All compressed air cylinders
used with self-contained breathing apparatus will meet U .S. Department of
Transportation and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health criteria.
G. Medical Surveillance and Consultation.
( 1) Members of an organized and designated HAZMAT team and hazardous materials
specialist will receive a baseline physical examination and be provided with medical
surveillance as required in paragraph (f) of this section.
(2) Any emergency response employees who exhibit signs or symptoms that may have
resulted from exposure to hazardous substances during the course of an emergency
incident either immediately or subsequently, will be provided with medical consultation
as required in paragraph (f)(3)(ii) of this section.

1.0 Scope and application.
29 CFR 1910.146 contains requirements for practices and procedures to protect employees in
general industry from the hazards of entry into permit-required confined spaces . 29 CFR
1910.146 does not apply to agriculture, to construction, or to shipyard employment (Parts
1928 , 1926, and 1915 of this chapter, respectively).
2.0 Definitions.
2.1 Acceptable entry conditions means the conditions that must exist in a permit space to
allow entry and to ensure that employees involved with a permit-required confined
space entry can safely enter into and work within the space.
2.2 Attendant means an individual stationed outside one or more permit spaces who
monitors the authorized entrants and who performs all attendant's duties assigned in the
employer's permit space program.
2.3 Authorized entrant means an employee who is authorized by the employer to enter a
permit space.
2.4 Blanking or blinding means the absolute closure of a pipe, line , or duct by the fastening
of a solid plate (such as a spectacle blind or a skillet blind) that completely covers the
bore and that is capable of withstanding the maximum pressure of the pipe, line, or duct
with no leakage beyond the plate.
2.5 Confined space means a space that:
2.5.1 Is large enough and so configured that an employee can
bodily enter and perform assigned work; and
2.5.2 Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit (for example, tanks, vessels ,
silos, storage bins , hoppers, vaults, and pits are spaces that may have limited
means of entry.); and
2.5.3 Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
2.6 Double block and bleed means the closure of a line, duct, or pipe by closing and locking
or tagging two in-line valves and by opening and locking or tagging a drain or vent valve
in the line between the two closed valves.
2.7 Emergency means any occurrence (including any failure of hazard control or monitoring
equipment) or event internal or external to the permit space that could endanger
entrants .
2.8 Engulfment means the surrounding and effective capture of a person by a liquid or finely
divided (flowable) solid substance that can be aspirated to cause death by filling or
plugging the respiratory system or that can exert enough force on the body to cause
death by strangulation, constriction, or crushing .
2 .9 Entry means the action by which a person passes through an opening into a permit-
required confined space. Entry includes ensuing work activities in that space and is
considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the entrant's body breaks the plane
of an opening into the space .

2.10 Entry permit (permit) means the written or printed document that is provided by the
employer to allow and control entry into a permit space and that contains the
information specified in paragraph (f) of 29 CFR 1910.146.
2.11 Entry supervisor means the person ( such as the employer, foreman, or crew chief)
responsible for determ ining if acceptable entry conditions are present at a permit space
where entry is planned , for authorizing entry and overseeing entry operations, and for
terminating entry as required by 29 CFR 1910.146.
NOTE: An entry supervisor also may serve as an attendant or as an authorized entrant, as long as
that person is trained and equipped as required by 29 CFR 1910.146 for each role he or she fills.
Also , the duties of entry supervisor may be passed from one individual to another during the course of
an entry operation.
2.12 Hazardous atmosphere means an atmosphere that may expose employees to the risk
of death , incapacitation , impairment of ability to self-rescue (that is, escape unaided
from a permit space), injury, or acute illness from one or more of the following causes :

NOTE : This concentration may be approximated as a condition in which the dust obscures vision at a
distance of 5 feet (1.52 m) or less.
2.12.3 Atmospheric oxygen concentration below 19.5 percent or above 23.5 percent;
2.12.3 Atmospheric concentration of any substance for which a dose or a permissible
exposure limit is published in Subpart G , Occupational Health and
Environmental Control , or in Subpart Z , Toxic and Hazardous Substances , of
this Part and which could result in employee exposure in excess of its dose or
permissible exposure limit;
NOTE: An atmospheric concentration of any substance that is not capable of causing death,
incapacitation , impairment of ability to self-rescue , injury, or acute illness due to its health effects is
not covered by this provision.
2 .12.4 Any other atmospheric condition that is immed iately dangerous to life or health.
NOTE: For air contaminants for which OSHA has not determined a dose or permissible exposure
limit , other sources of information, such as Material Safety Data Sheets that comply with the Hazard
Communication Standard , section 1910 .1200 of this Part, published information , and internal
documents can provide guidance in establishing acceptable atmospheric conditions.
2.13 Hot work permit means the employer's written authorization to perform operations (for
example, riveting , welding , cutting, burning , and heating) capable of providing a source
of ignition.

2 .14 Immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) means any condition that poses an
immediate or delayed threat to life or that would cause irreversible adverse health
effects or that would interfere with an individual's ability to escape unaided from a permit
space .
NOTE: Some materials --hydrogen fluoride gas and cadmium vapor, for example --may produce
immediate transient effects that , even if severe , may pass without medical attention , but are followed
by sudden , possibly fatal collapse 12-72 hours after exposure. The victim "feels normal" from
recovery from transient effects until collapse. Such materials in hazardous quantities are considered
to be "immediately" dangerous to life or health .
2.15 lnerting means the displacem~nt of the atmosphere in a permit space by a
noncombustible gas (such as nitrogen) to such an extent that the resulting atmosphere
is noncombustible .
NOTE: This procedure produces an IDLH oxygen-deficient atmosphere .
2.16 Isolation means the process by which a permit space is removed from service and
completely protected against the release of energy and material into the space by such
means as: blanking or blinding ; misaligning or removing sections of lines , pipes , or
ducts ; a double block and bleed system; lockout or tagout of all sources of energy ; or
blocking or disconnecting all mechanical linkages.
2.17 Line breaking means the intentional opening of a pipe , line , or duct that is or has been
carrying flammable , corrosive , or toxic material , an inert gas , or any fluid at a volume ,
pressure , or temperature capable of causing injury.
2.18 Non-permit confined space means a confined space that does not contain or, with
respect to atmospheric hazards , have the potential to contain any hazard capable of
causing death or serious physical harm.
2.19 Oxygen deficient atmosphere means an atmosphere containing less than 19 .5 percent
oxygen by volume.
2.20 Oxygen enriched atmosphere means an atmosphere containing more than 23 .5 percent
oxygen by volume.
2.21 Permit-required confined space (permit space) means a confined space that has one or
more of the following characteristics:
2.21.1 Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere;
2.21 .2 Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant ;
2 .21 .3 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
2 .21.4 Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard.
2.22 Permit-required confined space program (permit space program) means the employer's
overall program for controll i ng , and , where appropriate , for protecting employees from ,
permit space hazards and for regulating employee entry into permit spaces .

2.25 Rescue service means the personnel designated to rescue employees from permit
spaces.
2.26 Retrieval system means the equipment (including a retrieval line, chest or full-body
harness, wristlets, if appropriate, and a lifting device or anchor) used for non-entry
rescue of persons from permit spaces.
2.27 Testing means the process by which the hazards that may confront entrants of a permit
space are identified and evaluated. Testing includes specifying the tests that are to be
performed in the permit space.
NOTE: Testing enables employers both to devise and implement adequate control measures for the
protection of authorized entrants and to determine if acceptable entry conditions are present
immediately prior to, and during, entry.
3.0 Training.
3.1 The employer will provide training so that all employees whose work is regulated by 29
CFR 1910.146 acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe
performance of the duties assigned under 29 CFR 1910.146.
3.2 Training will be provided to each affected employee:
3.2.1 Before the employee is first assigned duties under 29 CFR 1910.146;

about which an employee has not previously been trained;
3.2.4 Whenever the employer has reason to believe either that there are deviations
from the permit space entry procedures required by paragraph (d)(3) of 29 CFR
1910.146 or that there are inadequacies in the employee's knowledge or use of
these procedures.
3.3 The training will establish employee proficiency in the duties required by 29 CFR
1910.146 and will introduce new or revised procedures, as necessary, for compliance
with 29 CFR 1910.146.

5.4.9 Performs non-entry rescues as specified by the employer's rescue procedure;
and
5.4.10 Performs no duties that might interfere with the attendant's primary duty to
monitor and protect the authorized entrants.
5.5 Duties of entry supervisors . The employer will ensure that each entry supervisor:
5.4.1 Knows the hazards that may be faced during entry , including information on the
mode , signs or symptoms , and consequences of the exposure ;
5.4.2 Verifies , by checking that the appropriate entries have been made on the permit ,
that all tests specified by the permit have been conducted and that all procedures

Note to paragraph (k)(l)(i): What will be considered timely will vary according to the specific hazards
involved in each entry. For example , §1910.134 , Respiratory Protection , requires that employers
provide a standby person or persons capable of immediate action to rescue employee(s) wearing
respiratory protection while in work areas defined as IDLH atmospheres.
6.2.2 Evaluate a prospective rescue service's ability, in terms of proficiency with
rescue-related tasks and equipment, to function appropriately while rescuing
entrants from the particular permit space or types of permit spaces identified ;
6.2.3 Select a rescue team or service from those evaluated that:
6.2 .3.1 Has the capability to reach the victim(s) within a time frame that is
appropriate for the permit space hazard(s) identified ;
6 .2.3 .2 Is equipped for and proficient in performing the needed rescue services ;
6.2.4 Inform each rescue team or service of the hazards they may confront when
called on to perform rescue at the site; and
6.2.5 Provide the rescue team or service selected with access to all permit spaces
from which rescue may be necessary so that the rescue service can develop
appropriate rescue plans and practice rescue operations.
6.3 An employer whose employees have been designated to provide permit space rescue
and emergency services will take the following measures :
6.3.1 Prov ide affected employees with the personal protective equipment (PPE)
needed to conduct permit space rescues safely and train affected employees so
they are proficient in the use of that PPE, at no cost to those employees ;
6.3.2 Train affected employees to perform assigned rescue duties . The employer must
ensure that such employees successfully complete the training required to
establish proficiency as an authorized entrant , as provided by paragraphs (g) and
(h) of 29 CFR 1910.146;
6 .3.3 Tra in affected employees in basic first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR). The employer will ensure that at least one member of the rescue team or
service holding a current certification in first aid and CPR is available ; and
6.3.4 Ensure that affected employees practice making permit space rescues at least
once every 12 months , by means of simulated rescue operations in which they
remove dummies , manikins , or actual persons from the actual permit spaces or
from representative permit spaces. Representative permit spaces will , with
respect to opening size , configuration , and accessibility, simulate the types of
permit spaces from which rescue is to be performed.
6.4 To facil itate non-entry rescue , retrieval systems or methods will be used whenever an
authorized entrant enters a permit space , unless the retrieval equipment would increase
the overall risk of entry or would not contribute to the rescue of the entrant. Retrieval
systems will meet the following requirements.
6.4.1 Each authorized entrant will use a chest or full body harness , with a retrieval line
attached at the center of the entrant's back near shoulder level , above the
entrant's head , or at another point which the employer can establish presents a

profile small enough for the successful removal of the entrant. Wristlets may be
used in lieu of the chest or full body harness if the employer can demonstrate
that the use of a chest or full body harness is infeasible or creates a greater
hazard and that the use of wristlets is the safest and most effective a lternative.
6.4.2 The other end of the retrieval line will be attached to a mechanical device or fixed
point outside the permit space in such a manner that rescue can begin as soon
as the rescuer becomes aware that rescue is necessary . A mechanical device
will be available to retrieve personnel from vertical type permit spaces more than
5 feet (1.52 m) deep
6.5 If an injured entrant is exposed to a substance for which a Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) or other similar written information is required to be kept at the worksite , that
MSDS or written information will be made availab le to the medical facility treating the
exposed entrant.
7 .0 Permits.
7 .1 An entry permit has been developed and implemented and a system in place for the
preparation , issuance, use, and cancellation of entry permits as required by 29 CFR
1910 .146. See attachment A to this program for a copy of the permit.
7.2 Follow procedures to coordinate entry operations when employees of more than one
employer are working simu ltaneously as authorized entrants in a permit space, so that
employees of one employe r do not endanger the employees of any other employer
7.3 Supervisor will comply with established procedures (such as closing off a permit space
and canceling the permit) necessary for concluding the entry after entry operations have
been completed
7.4 Review entry operations when the employer has reason to believe that the measures
taken under the permit space program may not protect employees and revise the
program to correct deficiencies found to exist before subsequent entries are authorized;
and
NOTE: Examples of circumstances requiring the review of the permit space program are : any
unauthorized entry of a permit space , the detection of a permit space hazard not covered by the
permit, t he detection of a condition prohibited by the permit, the occurrence of an injury or near-miss
during entry , a change in the use or configuration of a permit space , and employee complaints about
the effectiveness of the program.
7.5 The entry permit that documents compliance with 29 CFR 1910.146 and authorizes
entry to a permit space will identify:
7.5.1 The permit space to be entered ;
7.5 .2 The purpose of the entry;
7 .5.3 The date and the au t horized duration of the entry permit;
7 .5.4 The authorized entrants within the permit space , by name or by such other
means (for example , through the use of rosters or tracking systems) as will
enable the attendant to determine quickly and accurately , for the duration of the
permit , which authorized entrants are inside the permit space;

9.0 General requirements.
9 .1 The employer will evaluate the workplace to determine if any spaces are permit-
required confined spaces.
NOTE: Proper application of the decision flow chart in Append ix A to section 1910.146 would
facilitate compliance with this requirement.
9.2 If the workplace contains permit spaces , the employer will inform exposed employees ,
by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means , of the existence and
location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces.
NOTE: A sign reading DANGER --PERMIT-REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE, DO NOT ENTER or
using other similar language would satisfy the requirement for a sign.
9.3 If the employer decides that its employees will not enter permit spaces , the employer
will take effective measures to prevent its employees from entering the permit spaces
and will comply with paragraphs (c)(1 ), ( c)(2), (c)(6), and (c)(8) of 29 CFR 1910.146.
9.4 If the employer decides that its employees will enter permit spaces , the employer will
develop and implement a written permit space program that complies with 29 CFR
1910 .146 . The written prog ram will be available for inspection by employees and their
authorized representatives.
9.5 An employer may use the alternate procedures specified in paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of 29
CFR 1910.146 for entering a permit space under the conditions set forth in paragraph
(c)(5)(i) of 29 CFR 1910 .146.
9.5.1 An employer whose employees enter a permit space need not comply with
paragraphs (d) through (f) and (h) through (k) of 29 CFR 1910.146 , provided that:
9 .5.1.1 The employer can demonstrate that the only hazard posed by the
permit space is an actual or potential hazardous atmosphere ;
9.5.1.2 The employer can demonstrate that continuous forced air ventilation
alone is sufficient to maintain that permit space safe for entry;
9.5 .1.3 The employer develops monitoring and inspection data that supports
the demonstrations required by paragraphs (c)(5)(i)(A) and (c)(5)(i)(B)
of 29 CFR 1910.146;
9.5.1.4 If an initial entry of the permit space is necessary to obtain the data

9 .5.1.6 Entry into the permit space under the terms of paragraph (c)(5)(i) of 29
CFR 1910.146 is performed in accordance with the requirements of
paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of 29 CFR 1910.146.
NOTE: See paragraph (c)(7) of 29 CFR 1910.146 for reclassification of a permit space after all
hazards within the space have been eliminated .
9.5.2 The following requirements apply to entry into permit spaces that meet the
conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(5)(i) of 29 CFR 1910.146.
9.5.2.1 Any conditions making it unsafe to remove an entrance cover will be
eliminated before the cover is removed.
9 .5 .2.2 When entrance covers are removed, the opening will be promptly
guarded by a railing , temporary cover, or other temporary barrier that
will prevent an accidental fall through the opening and that will protect
each employee working in the space from foreign objects entering the
space.
9 .5.3 Before an employee enters the space , the internal atmosphere will be tested ,
with a calibrated direct-reading instrument , for oxygen content , for flammable
gases and vapors , and for potential toxic air contaminants , in that order. Any
employee who enters the space, or that employee's authorized representative ,
will be provided an opportunity to observe the pre-entry testing required by this
paragraph.
9.5.3.1 Oxygen content ,
9 .5.3.2 Flammable gases and vapors , and
9 .5 .3.3 Potential toxic air contaminants .
9 .5.4 There may be no hazardous atmosphere within the space whenever any
employee is inside the space .
9.5.5 Continuous forced air ventilation will be used , as follows :
9.5.5 .1 An employee may not enter the space until the forced air ventilation has
eliminated any hazardous atmosphere;
9.5.5 .2 The forced air ventilation will be so directed as to ventilate the
immediate areas where an employee is or will be present within the
space and will continue until all employees have left the space;
9.5.5 .3 The air supply for the forced air ventilation will be from a clean source
and may not increase the hazards in the space .
9 .5.6 The atmosphere within the space will be periodically tested as necessary to
ensure that the continuous forced air ventilation is preventing the accumulation of
a hazardous atmosphere. Any employee who enters the space , or that
employee 's authorized representative , will be provided with an opportunity to
observe the periodic t esting required by this paragraph.
9 .5.7 If a hazardous atmosphere is detected during entry:
9 .5. 7.1 Each employee will leave the space immediately;
9.5. 7.2 The space will be evaluated to determine how the hazardous
atmosphere developed ; and

9.5.7.3 Measures will be implemented to protect employees from the
hazardous atmosphere before any subsequent entry takes place.
9.5.8 The employer will verify that the space is safe for entry and that the pre -entry
measures required by paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of 29 CFR 1910.146 have been taken ,
through a written certification that contains the date , the location of the space,
and the signature of the person providing the certification. The certification will be
made before entry and will be made available to each employee entering the
space or to that employee's authorized representative .
9.6 When there are changes in the use or configuration of a non-permit confined space that
might increase the hazards to entrants , the employer will reevaluate that space and , if
necessary , reclassify it as a permit-required confined space.
9 .7 A space classified by the employer as a permit-requ ired confined space may be
reclassified as a non-permit confined space under the following procedures :
9.7.1 If the permit space poses no actual or potential atmospheric hazards and if all
hazards within the space are eliminated without entry into the space , the permit
space may be reclassified as a non-permit confined space for as long as the non-
atmospheric hazards remain eliminated.
9 .7 .2 If it is necessary to enter the permit space to eliminate hazards , such entry will be
performed under paragraphs (d) through (k) of 29 CFR 1910.146. If testing and
inspection during that entry demonstrate that the hazards within the permit space
have been eliminated, the permit space may be reclassified as a non-permit
confined space for as long as the hazards remain eliminated.
NOTE: Control of atmospheric hazards through forced air ventilation does not constitute elimination
of the hazards.
9.7.3 The employer will document the basis for determining that all hazards in a permit
space have been eliminated , through a cert ification that contains the date , the
location of the space , and the signature of the person making the determination .
The certification will be made available to each e mployee entering the space or
to that employee's authorized representative.
9 .7.4 If hazards arise within a permit space that has been declassified to a non-permit
space under paragraph (c)(7) of 29 CFR 1910 .146, each employee in the space
will exit the space. The employer will then reevaluate the space and determine
whether it must be reclassified as a permit space, in accordance with other ·
applicable provisions of 29 CFR 1910.146.
9 .8 When an employer (host employer) arranges to have employees of another employer
(contractor) perform work that involves permit space entry , the host employer will:
9 .8 .1 Inform the contractor that the workplace contains permit spaces and that permit
space entry is allowed only through compliance with a permit space program
meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.146;

II. POLICY
Asbestos is a known human carcinogen that has , in the past , been used in a multitude of
building applications. Many forms of asbestos materials are considered "non-friable" (not easily
reduced to dust or powder) and as long as they are not crushed or abraded , do not pose a
public health risk. The majority of friable ACBM is typically away from public access in
mechanical spaces , is well enclosed , and not likely to become an airborne hazard.
It is the Eagle's policy to reduce or eliminate asbestos exposure hazards.
Ill. PROCEDURES
A. Training
All persons holding job classifications with the occasion to perform duties with or around
the presence of asbestos must receive annual training in asbestos awareness. This training
must include the following topics:
1. The physical characterist ics of asbestos including types , fiber size, aerodynamic
characteristics , and physical appearance;
2 . Examples of different types of asbestos-containing products and materials that
employees may encounter in specific work assignments;
3. The health hazards of asbestos including the nature of asbestos-related diseases ,
routes of exposure , dose-response relationships , latency period of asbestos-related
diseases , hazards of contamination of personal contacts outside of work , and health
basis for asbestos standards;
4. The increased risk of lung cancer associated with smoking cigarettes and asbestos
exposure ; and
5. The quantity , location , manner of use , release , and storage of asbestos , the specific
nature of the operations wh ich could result in exposure to asbestos , and specific
information to aid employees in recognizing when and where asbestos exposure may
result.

8. Certified Asbestos Workers and Supervisors
All personnel who routinely handle asbestos as a part of their job duties must be certified to
do so. As a requirement , these personnel must be med ically evaluated in order to wear a
respirator and work with asbestos. The following classifications must be met according to
OSHA regulations:
Class I. Activities involving removal of friable asbestos-containing materials (ACM).
Requires 32 hours of training for worker and 40 hours for supervisor including hands-on
training and eight-hour annual refreshers .
Class II. Activities involving removal of non-friable ACM . Same training requirements as
C lass I.
Class Ill . Activities involving repair and maintenance of disturbed ACM. Requires 16 hours
of hands on training and two-hour annual refreshers.
Class IV. Activities involving maintenance and custodial work around undisturbed ACM
and clean up of ACM waste and debris. Requires annual two-hour awareness training .
C. Recordkeeping
EH&S maintains the following records:
1 . Exposure records for 30 years;
2. Medical records of asbestos workers for duration of employment plus 30 years;
3. Respiratory fit testing and pulmonary function testing (PFT) for three years;
4. Training records for a minimum of three years ;
6 . Incident reports and Workers' Compensation claims related to ACM for a minimum three
years;
7. Disk copy of annual ACM survey report; and
8 . Project records relating to asbestos abatement activities.
IV. RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Departmental Project Managers
1. The following departments conduct projects with potential to disturb ACM:
a. Operations

c. Advising line personnel and contractors on necessary abatement procedures;
d. Arranging contracts for asbestos services from the current approved bid list;
e. Maintaining custody of current asbestos survey information for their projects ; and
f. Responding to inquiries from contractors by consulting the asbestos survey .
V. PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS-EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE MONITORING
No employee shall be exposed to an airborne concentration of asbestos in excess of 0 .1 fiber
pe r cubic centimeter of air as an eight (8) hour time-weighted average (TWA). Also , no
employee shall be exposed to an airborne concentration of asbestos in excess of 1.0 fiber per
cubic centimeter of air as averaged over a sampling period of thirty minutes . The 30-minute
period shall be referred to as the Excursion Limit (EL). Determination of employee exposures
shall be made from breathing zone air samples that are representative of the 8-hour TWA and
30-minute short-term exposures of each employee.
VI. RES Pl RA TORY PROTECTION
Respirators must be selected and approved according to NIOSH under the provisions of Title 30 ,
CFR Part 11. Respirators must also be provided and used in the following circumstances:
• While feasible engineering and work practice controls are being installed or implemented;
• During maintenance and repair activities , or other activities where engineering and work
practice controls are not feasible ;
• In work situations where feasible engineering and work practice controls are not yet sufficient
to reduce exposure to or below the PEL and/or EL ; and in emergencies.
When respiratory protection is required , the employee must follow the respiratory program
guidelines established by the Health and Safety Office and in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.134.
An employee will not be assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators if a physician
determines that the employee is unable to function normally wearing a respirator or that the
employee's safety and health or that of others would be affected by the employee's use of a
respirator, for example , if a person is claustrophobic .

3.1.1 .2 The annual limits to the lens of the eye , to the skin, and to the
extremities are :
3 .1.1.2.1 An eye dose equivalent of 15 rem, and
3 .1 .1 .2.2 A shallow dose equivalent of 50 rem to the skin or to any
extremity.
3.1.2 Dosimeter -Dosimeters are required for all personnel working with radioactive
material or radiation-producing equipment who are likely to receive greater than
10% of the dose limits
There are several methods of personnel monitoring in order to evaluate the
amount of ionizing radiation to which a worker has been exposed. It is important
to note that any type of personnel monitor merely records the amount of
exposure received. It in NO WAY protects the wearer from the radiation and its
associated effects. Personnel dosimetry monitoring is used to assure that
individuals working in a radiation environment stay below the maximum "legal"
exposure limits that can be received within a given period of time.
Dosimetry can be considered in two areas, internal and external.
3 .1.2.1
3.1 .2.2
External dosimetry deals with radiation that originates outside the
body. An example is the dose equivalent due to photons
emanating from a Co-60 source or x-ray machine .
Internal dosimetry calculates dose equivalents due to sources
measured or estimated to be within the body. An example is the
dose equivalent due to the intake of 1-125 into the body. If the
same person was exposed to Co-60 photons and had an intake of
1-125 , that person's total dose equivalent would be the sum of the
internal and external dose equivalents .
3.2 Methods of Protection
3.2.1 If NORM or TENORM is suspected to be present, care should be taken to avoid
worker exposure until radiation surveys can be conducted to characterize
contamination at the site , and protective measures devised if necessary .
Personnel inspecting industrial sites suspected of having possible radiation
contamination should include radiation safety measures in the health and safety
plan for their site visits . In addition, cleanup, waste management , and post-
closure decisions must take into account radioactive contamination.

3.2.2 Activity: The "strength" of the radiation source. When the activity of radioactive
material is reduced or the settings on a radiation-producing machine are lowered ,
this reduces the potential radiation dose.
3.2.3 Time: The total dose received from an external source is also dependent on the
amount of time exposed to the source . Therefore, time spent near a radiation-
producing source should be optimized.
3.2.4 Distance: By increasing the distance between the radiation source and the
individual , the dose rece ived can be significantly reduced. If an individual
doubles the distance from a point source , the dose rate will drop by 1/4.
3.2.5 Shielding : When high-activity radiation sources are being used , absorbing
material , or shields, can be incorporated to reduce exposure levels . The specific
sh ielding material and thickness is dependent on the amount and type of
radiation involved.
3 .2 .6 Housekeeping and Personal Hygiene:
3 .2.6.1 Good housekeeping should be practiced. If an area is kept neat , clean ,
and free from equipment not required for the immediate procedure , the
likelihood of accidental contamination or exposure is reduced.
3 .2 .6 .2 Radioactive material , especially liquids , should be kept in unbreakable
containers whenever possible. If glass is used , a secondary container
is necessary.
3.2 .6.3 Never pipette by mouth! Always use some type of pipette filling
device.
3.2.6.4 Eating, drinking , applying cosmetics , or storing of food is prohibited in

1.0 Heat Related Stress
Heat stress is usually caused by a number of factors such as meteorological conditions ,
personal protective equipment , workload , and individual characteristics of site personnel. In
order to minimize potential for heat stress , appropriate actions must be taken . Each individual
should pay close attention to both oneself and others for the signs of heat stress. The signs of
heat stress include any of the following:
• impaired performance
• loss of coordination
• skin erupt ions (red face or rashes)
• nausea
• headaches
• cramps
Four environmental factors affect the amount of stress a worker faces in a hot work
area: temperature, humidity, radiant heat (such as from the sun or a furnace) and air
velocity. Perhaps most important to the level of stress an individual faces are personal
characteristics such as age, weight, fitness, medical condition and acclimatization to
the heat.
The body reacts to high external temperature by circulating blood to the skin which increases
skin temperature and allows the body to g ive off its excess heat through the skin. However, if
the muscles are being used for physical labor, less blood is available to flow to the skin and
release the heat.
Sweating is another means the body uses to maintain a stable internal body temperature in the
face of heat. However, sweating is effective only if the humidity level is low enough to permit
evaporation and if the fluids and salts lost are adequately replaced.
Of course there are many steps a person might choose to take to reduce the risk of heat
stress , such as moving to a cooler place , reduc ing the work pace or load , or removing or
loosening some clothing .
But the body cannot dispose of excess heat, it will store it. When this happens, the body's core
temperature rises and the heart rate increases. As the body continues to store heat, the
individual begins to lose concentration and has difficulty focusing on a task , may become
irritable or sick and often loses the desire to drink. The next stage is most often fainting and
death is possible if the person is not removed from the heat stress.

1.1 HEAT DISORDERS
1.1.1 Heat stroke, the most serious health problem for workers in hot environments, is
caused by the failure of the body's internal mechanism to regulate its core
temperature. Sweating stops and the body can no longer rid itself of excess heat.
Signs include (1) mental confusion, delirium, loss of consciousness, convulsions
or coma; (2) a body temperature of 106 degrees For higher; and (3) hot dry skin
which may be red, mottled, or bluish. Victims of heat stroke will die unless treated
promptly. While awaiting medical help, the victim must be removed to a cool area
and his or her clothing soaked with cool water. He or she should be fanned
vigorously to increase cooling. Prompt first aid can prevent permanent injury to
the brain and other vital organs.
1.1.2 Heat exhaustion results from loss of fluid through sweating when a worker has
failed to drink enough fluids or take in enough salt or both. The worker with heat
exhaustion still sweats but experiences extreme weakness or fatigue, giddiness,
nausea, or headache. The skin is clammy and moist, the complexion pale or
flushed, and the body temperature normal or slightly higher. Treatment is usually
simple: the victim should rest in a cool place and drink an electrolyte solution (a
beverage used by athletes to quickly restore potassium, calcium, and
magnesium salts). Severe cases involving victims who vomit or lose
consciousness may require longer treatment under medical supervision.
1.1.3 Heat cramps, painful spasms of the muscles, are caused when workers drink
large quantities of water but fail to replace their bodies' salt loss. Tired muscles --
those used for performing the work --are usually the ones most susceptible to
cramps. Cramps may occur during or after working hours and may be relieved by
taking liquids by mouth or saline solutions intravenously for quicker relief, if
medically determined to be required.
1.1.4 Fainting (heat syncope) may be a problem for the worker unacclimatized to a hot
environment who simply stands still in the heat. Victims usually recover quickly
after a brief period of lying down. Moving around, rather than standing still, will
usually reduce the possibility of fainting.
1.1.5 Heat rash, also known as prickly heat, may occur in hot and humid environments
where sweat is not easily removed from the surface of the skin by evaporation.
When extensive or complicated by infection, heat rash can be so uncomfortable
that it inhibits sleep and impedes a worker's performance or even results in
temporary total disability. It can be prevented by resting in a cool place and
allowing the skin to dry.

1.2 PREVENTING HEAT STRESS
Most heat-related health problems can be prevented or the risk of developing them
reduced. Following a few basic precautions should lessen heat stress.
A variety of engineering controls including general ventilation and spot cooling by
local exhaust ventilation at points of high heat production may be helpful. Shielding is
required as protection from radiant heat sources. Evaporative cooling and mechanical
refrigeration are other ways to reduce heat. Cooling fans can also reduce heat in hot
conditions . El iminating steam leaks will also help . Equipment modifications , the use of
power tools to reduce manual labor and personal cooling devices or protective clothing
are other ways to reduce the hazards of heat exposure for workers.
1.2.1 Work practices such as providing plenty of drinking water --as much as a quart
per worker per hour --at the workplace can help reduce the risk of heat
disorders. Training first aid workers to recognize and treat heat stress disorders
and making the names of trained staff known to all workers is essential.
Employers should also consider an individual worker's physical condition when
determining his or her fitness for working in hot env ironments. Older workers ,
obese workers and personnel on some types of medication are at greater risk.
1.2.2 Alternating work and rest periods with longer rest periods in a cool area can
help workers avoid heat stress. If possible, heavy work should be scheduled
during the cooler parts of the day and appropriate protective clothing provided.
Supervisors should be trained to detect early signs of heat stress and should
permit workers to interrupt their work if they are extremely uncomfortable.
1.2.3 Acclimatization to the heat through short exposures followed by longer periods
of work in the hot environment can reduce heat stress . New employees and
workers returning from an absence of two weeks or more should have 5-day
per iod of acclimatization. This period should begin with 50 percent of the normal
workload and time exposure the first day and gradually building up to 100
percent on the fifth day.
1.2.4 Employee education is vital so that workers are aware of the need to replace
fluids and salt lost through sweat and can recognize dehydration , exhaustion ,
fainting , heat cramps , salt deficiency , heat exhaustion , and heat stroke as heat
disorders. Workers should also be informed of the importance of daily weighing
before and after work to avoid dehydration.

2.0 Cold Related Stress
2.1 Cold stress may be of particular concern when a wind chill-adjusted temperature of 1 O
degrees F or less is expected. These temperatures are only of concern during the
winter months. Freezing temperatures are infrequent, but do occasionally occur. As a
result, proper field attire, such as thermal socks, long cotton or thermal underwear,
hard-hat liners, insulated gloves or glove liners, and other cold-weather gear are
necessary during this time to ensure that frostbite and hypothermia are avoided
In addition to cold stress preventative measures, workers will be briefed on the dangers
of cold stress and frostbite. Workers will be monitored by the SSHO during all rest
periods and site activities for signs of hypothermia or frostbite . Self-monitoring and
coworker monitoring will also be encouraged.
2.1.1 HYPOTHERMIA--signs and symptoms
When the body can no longer maintain core temperature by constricting blood
vessels, it shivers to increase heat production . Maximum severe shivering
develops when the body temperature has fallen to 35°C (95°F).
The most critical aspect of hypothermia is the body's failure to maintain its deep
core temperature. Lower body temperatures present the following signs and
symptoms:
• persistent shivering--usually starts when core temperature reaches 35°C
(95°F)
• irrational or confused behavior
• reduced mental alertness
• poor coordination, with obvious effects on safety
• reduction in rational decision-making.
In addition, acute exertion in cold can constrict blood vessels in the heart. This is particularly important for older
workers or workers with coronary disease, who may have an increased risk of heart attack.
2.1.2 HYPOTHERMIA--stages
2.1.2.1 Mild
Early signs of hypothermia include
• shivering
• blue lips and fingers
• poor coordination.

2.1.2.2 Moderate
The next stage includes
• mental impairment
• confusion
• poor decision-making
• disorientation
• inability to take precautions from the cold
• heart slowdown
• slow breathing.
2.1.2.3 Severe
In severe cases, hypothermia resembles death. Patients must be
treated as though they are alive.
Symptoms of severe hypothermia include
• unconsciousness
• heart slowdown to the point where pulse is irregular or difficult to
find
• no shivering
• no detectable breathing.
2.1.3 HYPOTHERMIA--first aid
Stop further cooling of the body and provide heat to begin rewarming.
• Carefully remove casualty to shelter. Sudden movement or rough handling
can upset heart rhythm.
• Keep casualty awake.
• Remove wet clothing and wrap casualty in warm covers.
• Rewarm neck, chest, abdomen , and groin--but not extremities.
• Apply direct body heat or use safe heating devices.
• Give warm, sweet drinks, but only if casualty is conscious.
• Monitor breathing. Administer artificial respiration if necessary.
Call for medical help or transport casualty carefully to nearest medical facility .

2.1.4 FROSTBITE--signs and symptoms
Frostbite is a common injury caused by exposure to severe cold or by
contact with extremely cold objects.
Frostbite occurs more readily from touching cold metal objects than from
exposure to cold air. That's because heat is rapidly transferred from skin to
metal.
The body parts most commonly affected by frostbite are face , ears, fingers, and
toes. When tissue freezes , blood vessels are damaged. This reduces blood flow
and may cause gangrene.
Frostbite symptoms vary , are not always painful , but often include a sharp ,
prickl ing sensation.
The first indication of frostbite is skin that looks waxy and feels numb. Once
tissues become hard , the case is a severe medical emergency.
Severe frostbite results in blistering that usually takes about ten days to subside.
Once damaged , tissues will always be more susceptible to frostbite in future .
2.1.5 FROSTBITE--first aid
• Warm frostbitten area gradually with body heat. Do not rub.
• Don't thaw hands or feet unless medical aid is distant and there is no chance
of refreezing. Parts are better thawed at a hospital.
• Apply sterile dressings to blisters to prevent breaking .
• Get medical attention .
2.2 RISK FACTORS
Various medical conditions can increase the risk of cold injury :
• heart disease
• asthma/bronchitis
• diabetes
• vibration/white finger disease.
Check with your health practitioner to learn whether med ications you are taking may
have adverse effects in a cold environment.
Ensure that wind-chill factor is understood by workers.

2.3 CONTROLS
The best protection against cold-related health risks is to be aware and be prepared.
Workers should recognize the signs and symptoms of overexposure in themselves and
others. Pain in the extremities may be the first warning sign. Any worker shivering
severely should come in out of the cold.
2.3.1 General
• Ensure that wind-chill factor is understood by workers, especially those
working on bridges or out in the open on high buildings.
• Ensure that workers are medically fit to work in excessive cold, especially
those subject to the risk factors h ighlighted a bove .
• Make sure that workers understand the importance of high-caloric foods when
working in cold environments. Warm sweet drinks and soups should be
arranged at the work site to maintain caloric intake and fluid volume. Coffee
should be discouraged because it increases water loss and blood flow to
extremities.
• Personnel working in isolated cold environments, whether indoors or
outdoors, should have backup.
• Provide hot drinks and regular breaks under extremely cold working
conditions.
2.3.2 Clothing
Select protective clothing to suit the cold, the job, and the level of physical
activity.
• Wear several layers of clothing rather than one thick layer. Air captured
between layers acts as an insulator.
• Wear synthetic fabrics such as polypropylene next to the skin because these
whisk away sweat. Clothing should not restrict flexibility.
• If conditions are wet as well as cold, ensure that the outer clothing worn is
waterproof or at least water-repellent. Wind-resistant fabrics may also be
required under some conditions.
• At air temperatures of 2°C (35.6°F) or less, workers whose clothing gets wet
for any reason must be immediately given a change of clothing and be treated
for hypothermia.
• Encourage the use of hats and hoods to prevent heat loss from the head and
to protect ears. Balaclavas or other face covers may also be necessary under
certain conditions.
• Tight-fitting footwear restricts blood flow. Footwear should be large enough to
allow wearing either one th ick or two thin pairs of socks. Wearing too many
socks can tighten fit and harm rather than help.

• Workers who get hot while working should open their jackets but keep hats
and gloves on.
Encourage workers to use shelters at regular intervals.
2.3.3 Shelter
For work performed continuously in the cold, allow rest and warm-up breaks.
Heated shelters such as trailers should be available nearby. Encourage workers
to use these shelters at regular intervals depending on wind-chill factor.
Workers showing signs of shivering , frostbite, fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, or
euphoria should immediately return to the shelter.
Workers entering the shelter should remove their outer layer of clothing and
loosen other clothing to let sweat evaporate. In some cases, a change of clothing
may be necessary.

Eagle recognizes that slips , trips , and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents. They
cause 15% of all accidental deaths , and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities .
The OSHA standards for walking and working surfaces apply to all permanent places of employment ,
except where domestic , mining , or agricu ltural work only is performed.
1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1.1 Housekeeping
Some of the most frequently overlooked general requirements involve housekeeping:
• All places of employment , passageways , storerooms , and service rooms shall be
kept clean and orderly and in a sanitary condition.
• The floor of every workroom shall be maintained in a clean and , so far as possible , a
dry condition. Where wet processes are used , drainage shall be maintained and
gratings , mats , or raised platforms shall be prov ided.
• Every floor, working place and passageway shall be kept free from protruding nails,
splinters , holes , or loose boards.
1 .2 Aisles and Passageways
• Aisles and passageways shall be kept clear and in good repair with no obstruct ion
across or in a isles that could create a hazard.
• Permanent aisles and passageways shall be appropriate ly marked.
• Where mechanical handl ing equipment is used , aisles shall be sufficiently wide.
Improper aisle widths coupled with poor housekeeping and vehicle traffic can cause
injury to employees , damage the equipment and material , and can lim it egress in
emergencies .
1.3 Covers and Guardrails
Covers and/or guardrails shall be provided to protect personnel . from the hazards of
open pits , tanks , vats , ditches , and the like.
1.4 Floor Loading Protection
Load rating limits shall be marked on plates and conspicuously posted . It shall be
unlawful to place , or cause , o r permit to be placed , on any floor or roof of a building or
other structure , a load greater than that for which such floor or roof is approved.
2.0 GUARDING FLOOR AND WALL OPENINGS AND HOLES
Floor openings and holes , wall openings and holes , and the open sides of platforms may
create hazards . People may fall through the openings or over the sides to the level below .
Objects , such as tools or parts , may fall through the holes and strike people or damage
mach inery on lower levels.

2.1 OSHA standards for guarding openings and holes use the following definitions:
2.1.1 Floor hole. An opening measuring less than 12 inches but more than 1 inch in its
least dimension, in any floor, platform, pavement or yard , through which
materials but not persons may fall.
2 .1.2 Floor opening. An opening measuring 12 inches or more in its least dimension , in
any floor, platform, pavement, or yard, through which persons may fall.
2.1 .3 Platform . A working space for persons , elevated above the surround i ng floor or
ground.
2.1.4 Wall hole. An opening less than 30 inches but more than 1 inch high , of
unrestricted width , in any wall or partition.
2 .1.5 Wall opening. An opening at least 30 inches high and 18 inches wide , in any wall
or partition, through which persons may fall.
2.2 Protection for Floor Openings
Standard railings shall be provided on all exposed sides of a stairway opening, except
at the stairway entrance. For infrequently used stairways, where traffic across the
opening prevents the use of a fixed standard railing , the guard shall consist of a hinged
floor opening cover of standard strength and construction along with removable
standard railings on all exposed sides, except at the stairway entrance.
A "standard railing" consists of top rail , mid rail, and posts, and shall have a vertical
height of 42 inches nominal from the upper surface of top rail to floor , platform, runway,
or ramp level. Nominal height of mid rail is 21 inches.
A "standard toe board" is 4 inches nominal in vertical height , with not more than ~-inch
clearance above floor level.
Floor openings may be covered rather than guarded with rails. When the floor opening
cover is removed , a temporary guardrail shall be in place, or an attendant shall be
stationed at the opening to warn personnel.
Every floor hole into which persons can accidentally walk shall be guarded by either:
• A standard railing with toe board, or
• A floor hole cover of standard strength and construction .
While the cover is not in place , the floor hole shall be constantly attended by someone
or shall be protected by a removable standard railing.

2.3 Protection of Open-Sided Floors , Platforms , and Runways
One of the most frequently overlooked requirements in walking-working surfaces is the
requirement that every open-sided floor or platform 4 feet or more above adjacent floor
or ground level shall be guarded by a standard railing on all open sides , except where
there is an entrance to a ramp, stairway , or fixed ladder. The railing shall be provided
with a toeboard wherever, beneath the open sides:
• Persons can pass ,
• There is moving machinery, or
• There is equipment with which falling materials could create a hazard .
Every runway shall be guarded by a standard railing , or the equivalent , on all sides 4
feet or more above floor or ground level. Wherever tools , machine parts , or materials
are likely to be used on the runway, a toe board shall also be provided on each exposed
side .
Regardless of height, open-sided floors , walkways , platforms, or runways above or
adjacent to dangerous equipment, pickling or galvanizing tanks , degreasing units , and
similar hazards shall be guarded with a standard railing and toe board .
2.4 Stairway Railings and Guards
Every flight of stairs with four or more risers shall have standard stair railings or
standard handrails as specified below. Stair width is measured clear of all obstructions
except handrails.
• On stairways less than 44 inches wide having both sides enclosed , at least one
handrail shall be affixed , preferably on the right side descending.
• On stairways less than 44 inches wide with one open side, at least one stair rail shall
be affixed on the open side.
• On stairways less than 44 inches wide having both sides open , two stair rails shall
be provided , one for each side.
• On stairways more than 44 inches wide, but less than 88 inches , one handrail shall
be provided on each enclosed side and one stair rail on each open side.
• On stairways 88 inches or more in width , one handrail shall be provided on each
enclosed side , one stair rail on each open side , and one intermediate stair rail
placed approximately in the middle of the stairs.
A "standard stair railing" (stair rail) shall be of construction similar to a standard railing ,
but the vertical height shall be not more than 34 inches nor less than 30 inches from the
upper surface of the top rail to the surface of the tread in line with the face of the riser at
the forward edge of the tread.

A "standard handrail" consists of a lengthwise member mounted directly on a wall or
partition by means of brackets attached to the lower side of the handrail in order to keep
a smooth , unobstructed surface along the top and both sides of the handrail. They shall
hold the rail 3 inches from the wall and be no more than 8 feet apart.
The height of handrails shall be no more than 34 inches nor less than 30 inches from
the upper surface of the handrail to the surface of the tread in line with the face of the
riser or to the surface of the ramp.
Winding stairs shall have a handrail that is offset to prevent people from walking on any
portion of the treads where the width is less than 6 inches .
3.0 FIXED INDUSTRIAL STAIRS
This section contains specifications for the safe design and construction of fixed general
industrial stairs . This includes interior and exterior stairs around machinery, tanks , and other
equipment, and stairs leading to or from floors , platforms or pits. This section does not apply to
stairs used for fire exit purposes, to construction operations, to private residences, or to
articulated stairs, such as may be installed on floating roof tanks , the angle of which changes
with the rise and fall of the base support .
Where are fixed stairs required?
Fixed Industrial Stairs shall be provided for access to and from places of work where
operations necessitate regular travel between levels. OSHA requirements include :
• Fixed industrial stairs shall be strong enough to carry five times the normal anticipated live
load.
• At the very minimum , any fixed stairway shall be able to carry safely a moving concentrated
load of 1000 pounds.
• All fixed stairways shall have a minimum width of 22 inches.
• Fixed stairs shall be installed at angles to the horizontal of between 30° and 50 °.
• Vertical clearance above any stair tread to an overhead obstruction shall be at least 7 feet
measured from the leading edge of the tread.
When inspecting the condition of stairways in your place of work, here are some items to
watch out for.
• Handrails and Stair rails:
A. Lack of
B . Placement
C . Smoothness of surface
D. Strength
E . Clearance between rail and wall or other object

• Wet , slippery , or damaged walking or grasping surfaces.
• Improper illumination ... there is no general OSHA standard for illumination levels . The
Illuminating Engineering Society publications should be consulted for recommendations.
• Poor housekeeping
The length of a staircase is important. Long flights of steps without landings should be avoided
whenever possible.
The OSHA standards do not spec ify any exact number or placement of landings. The National
Safety Council recommends landings at every tenth or twelfth tread.
Intermediate landings and platforms on stairways shall be no less than the stair width and a
minimum of 30 inches in length measured in the direction of travel.
4.0 PORTABLE LADDERS
The chief hazard when using a ladder is falling. A poorly designed, maintained , or improperly
used ladder may collapse under the load placed upon it and cause the employee to fall.
A ladder is an appliance consisting of two side rails joined at regular intervals by crosspieces
on which a person may step to ascend or descend.
The various types of portable ladders include:
• Stepladder - A self-supporting portable ladder, non-adjustable in length , having flat steps
and hinged back.
• Single Ladder - A non self-supporting portable ladder, nonadjustable in length, consisting of
but one section . Its size is designed by overall length of the side rail.
• Extension Ladder - A non self-supporting portable ladder adjustable in length.
OSHA's requirements for portable ladders include :
• Portable stepladders longer than 20 feet shall not be used.
• Stepladders shall be equipped with a metal spreader or locking device of sufficient size and
strength to securely hold the front and back sections in open position.
• Sing le ladders longer than 30 feet shall not be used.
• Extension ladders longer than 60 feet shall not be used .
• Ladders shall be maintained in good condition at all times.

• Ladders shall be inspected frequently and those which have developed defects shall be
withdrawn from service for repair or destruction and tagged or marked as "Dangerous , Do
Not Use."
Proper use of ladders is essential in preventing accidents. Even a good ladder can be a
serious safety hazard when used by workers in a dangerous way.
OSHA standards require the following safety precautions for ladder use:
• Ladders shall be placed with a secure footing, or they shall be lashed, or held in position.
• Ladders used to gain access to a roof or other area shall extend at least 3 feet above the
point of support.
• The foot of a ladder shall, where possible, be used at such a pitch that the horizontal
distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is one quarter of the working length
of the ladder (the length along the ladder between the foot and the support). See figure
above.
• The worker shall always face the ladder when climbing up or down.
• Short ladders shall not be spliced together to make long ladders .
• Ladders shall never be used in the horizontal position as scaffolds or work platforms .
• The top of a regular stepladder shall not be used as a step.
• Use both hands when climbing or descending ladders.
• Metal ladders shall never be used near electrical equipment.
5.0 FIXED LADDERS
A fixed ladder is a ladder permanently attached to a structure, building or equipment.
A point to remember is that fixed ladders, with a length of more than 20 feet to a maximum
unbroken length of 30 feet shall be equipped with cages or a ladder safety device.
A "cage" is a guard that is fastened to the side rails of the fixed ladder or to the structure to
encircle the climbing space of the ladder for the safety of the person who must climb the
ladder.
Cages shall extend a minimum of 42 inches above the top of a landing, unless other
acceptable protection is provided.
Cages shall extend down the ladder to a point not less than 7 feet nor more than 8 feet above
the base of the ladder.
A ladder safety device is any device, other than a cage or well, designed to eliminate or reduce
the possibility of accidental falls and may incorporate such features as life belts, friction brakes ,
and sliding attachments.

Another feature of fixed ladders is the landing platform that provides a means of interrupting a
free fall and serves as a resting place during long climbs.
When fixed ladders are used to ascend to heights exceeding 20 feet ( except on chimneys),
landing platforms shall be provided for each 30 feet of height or fraction thereof, when cages
are used , except that , where no cage, well, or ladder safety device is provided , landing
platforms shall be provided for each 20 feet of height or fraction thereof.
Ladder safety devices may be used on tower, water tank , and chimney ladders over 20 feet in
unbroken length in lieu of cage protection. No landing platform is required in these cases.
The preferred pitch of fixed ladders shall be considered to come in the range of 75 degrees
and 90 degrees with the horizontal. Fixed ladders shall be considered to be substandard if they
are installed within the pitch range of 60 and 75 degrees with the horizontal. Substandard fixed
ladders are permitted only where it is found necessary to meet conditions of installation. This
substandard pitch range shall be considered as a critical range to be avoided, if possible.
Ladders having a pitch in excess of 90 degrees with the horizontal are prohibited.
As with all ladders, fixed ladders shall be maintained in a safe condition and inspected
regularly.
6.0 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR SCAFFOLDING
This section establishes safety requirements for the construction , operation , maintenance , and
use of scaffolds used in the maintenance of buildings and structures.
There are a number of different types of scaffolds available. No attempt will be made here to
deal with every unit individually.
It is important, however, to note some of the general requirements which apply to all scaffolds ,
namely:
• The footing or anchorage for scaffolds shall be sound , rigid and capable of carrying the
maximum intended load without settling or displacement. Unstable objects , such as barrels ,
boxes , loose brick, or concrete blocks shall not be used to support scaffolds or planks.
• Scaffolds and their components shall be capable of supporting at least four times the
maximum intended load .
• Scaffolds shall be maintained in a safe condition and shall not be altered or moved
horizontally while they are in use or occupied.
• Damaged or weakened scaffo lds shall be immediately repaired and shall not be used until
repairs have been completed .
• A safe means must be provided to gain access to the working platform level through the
use of a ladder, ramp , etc.

• Overhead protection must be provided for personnel on a scaffold exposed to overhead
hazards.
• Guardrails, mid-rails , and toe boards must be installed on all open sides and ends of
platforms more than 10 feet above the ground or floor. Wire mesh must be installed
between the toe board and the guardrail along the entire opening , where persons are
required to work or pass under the scaffolds.
• Employees shall not work on scaffolds during storms or high winds or when covered with
ice or snow .
• As noted earlier, there are a number of scaffold types , and 1910 .28 should be reviewed
carefully for special requirements that apply to each type.
7.0 MANUALLY PROPELLED MOBILE LADDER STANDS AND SCAFFOLDS (TOWERS)
This section contains requirements for the design , construction, and use of mobile work
platforms (including ladder stands but not including aerial ladders) and rolling (mobile)
scaffolds (towers). As in the prev ious section , there is a wide variety of materials and design
possibilities involved , and no attempt will be made to discuss detailed design criteria at this
time.
General requirements include :
• All exposed surfaces of mobile ladder stands and scaffolds shall be free from sharp edges ,
burrs , or other safety hazards.
• The maximum work height shall not exceed four times the minimum base dimension unless
outriggers , guys or braces are added to provide stability.
• This standard requires guardrails and toe boards for work levels 10 feet or more above the
ground or floor.
OSHA standard 1910 .29 should be reviewed carefully for specific requirements .
8 .0 OTHER WORKING SURFACES
An important requirement, which can prevent many serious accidents, is contained in this
section : portable dock boards (bridge plates) shall be secured in position , either by being
anchored or equipped with devices which will prevent their slipping. Movement of the dock
board during material handling operations has resulted in forklifts overturning , or falling off the
dock , often with serious injury or death to the driver and damage to equipment and material.
A major contribution to accident experience comes from material handling. Handholds shall be
provided on portable dock boards to permit safe handling when the dock board must be
repositioned or relocated.

are ambulatory and can move under their own power:
These individuals should be directed into an "area of refuge " within the
Contamination Zone if decontamination operations have not been established.
NOTE: An "Area of Refuge" is defined as an area within the
Contamination Zone where exposed or contaminated personnel are
protected from further contact and/or exposure; it is a "Holding Area"
where personnel are controlled until they can be safely moved for
decontamination or treatment. In some situations, these individuals may
be able to move to a safety shower or hoseline, and initiate personal
decontamination measures.
6.1 .2 An individual is down within a hazardous environment and must be rescued:
6 .1.2.1 Rescue operations should only be attempted by trained and
properly equipped personnel.
6.1.2.2 The injured party should be removed from the hazardous
environment by response personnel using the appropriate PPE.
6.1 .2.3 Responders should minimize the amount of emergency care
performed .
6.1 .2.4 Keep the patient's airway open and immobilize the cervical
spine if there is any indication of injury to that area .
6.1.2.5 Once the patient is removed from the hazardous environment,
emergency medical decontamination and patient care can be
initiated.
6.1.2 .6 Basic points that should be considered are listed under Medical

6 .1.3.2
Under Hazwoper requirements, a back-up team shall be in
place to conduct the rescue of the injured entry member.
The decontamination site shall be established prior to entry
operations. The primary concern is to safely remove the injured
employee from the Contamination Zone to the Contamination
Reduction Zone area and initiate decontamination operations.
7.0 MEDICAL TREATMENT GUIDELINES
7.1 Basic points that should be considered when assessing emergency medical
decontamination and patient care includes:
7.1.1 Following removal of the patient to the Contamination Reduction Zone, basic
care and decontamination can begin.
7.1.1.1
7.1.1.2
7.1 .1.3
Maintain the airway.
All personnel involved in the operation must be wearing proper
protective clothing.
For emergency medical personnel, proper protective clothing
includes disposable or limited-use chemical coveralls with a
hood, a face mask, and/or eye protection, and double gloves.
7.1 .2 Carefully remove and isolate contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes .
7.1.2.1

Mark all articles with the individual's name.
7.1.3 Brush any solid or particulate contaminant off the skin as gently and
completely as possible before washing to reduce the chance of reaction with
water.
7.1.4 Blot heavy liquid contaminants from the body before washing to reduce the
chance of dilution or increased absorption .
NOTE: Exercise CAUTION not to cause any skin damage. Also, if
feasible, place goggles on the patient to provide additional eye
protection during the washdown.
7.1.5 Brush and/or wash contaminants outward away from the patient's eyes.

7.1.6 Once any visible product is removed and gross decontamination is completed,
rinse and wash the person.
7.1 .6.1
7.1.6 .2
Soaps which are used for patient decontamination should be
mild and non-abrasive. Tincture of green soap is desirable
because of its slightly alkaline nature that approximates the
body's pH level. It's alcohol base also helps remove
hydrocarbons and solvents from the skin. If green soap is not
available, any mild liquid soap will work .
Never use decontamination solutions on the skin, as they may
cause burns and further injury.
7 .1. 7 Begin decontamination at the head and face to allow for proper airway control
and respiratory support.
7.1.7.1
7.1.7.2
Clean areas of gross contamination and soft tissue damage (i.e.,
burns, bruises, lacerations, etc.).
7 .1.7.1.1
7.1.7.1.2
7.1 .7.1.3
Care must be taken not to flush contaminants into
wounds.
Carefully wash and rinse wound areas from the
center out.
After decontamination, cover areas of soft tissue
damage with a water-occlusive dressing or a
plastic wrap to prevent secondary contamination.
Once all wound areas are clean, the remainder of the body can
be decontaminated.
7.1.7.2.1
7.1.7.2.2
Pay special attention to ear and nose cavities, hair,
nail beds, and skin folds. Soft brushes and
sponges may be used.
Be careful not to abrade the skin and use extra
caution over bruised or non-intact skin areas.
7.1.8 Rinse the patient with large quantities of water.
7.1.8.1 Use low water pressure and a gentle spray to avoid aggravating
any soft tissue damage.

Try to control all runoff, but do not delay treatment in life-
threatening situations if confinement measures are not
immediately available.
CAUTION: Use warm water to provide for patient comfort and reduce the
potential for hypothermia. If warm water is not available, cold water can
be used, but it will increase the chance of hypothermia. NEVER USE
HOT WATER!
7 .1.9 Every attempt shall be made to decontaminate patients prior to transportation
to a medical facility
7.1 .9.1 In most cases , this will eliminate the chance of secondary
contamination of both medical personnel and hospital staff.
7.1.9.2 When dealing with emergencies involving multiple injuries or
secondary and tertiary problems , total commitment may not be
focused solely on patient decontamination.
7 .1.9.3 All patients will be packaged in such a manner as to reduce
secondary contamination prior to transport.
DANGER: Advise both the local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and
the receiving hospital when handling a chemically contaminated patient.
Have a MSDS sent to the hospital that will be treating the patient.

Monitoring Information . According to 29 CFR 1910.1018, employees shall not be
exposed to inorganic arsenic at concentrations greater than the 10 mg/m 3 TWA.
Th is covers the Arsonate unit , Laboratory, and Warehouse 9. Determ inations of
exposure shall be made from integrated air samples that are representative of
each employee's exposure to inorganic arsenic over an 8-hour period . Initial
monitoring must be performed to determ ine the concentration of inorganic arsenic
to which employees may be exposed . If the initial monitoring reveals employee
exposure to be below the action level of 5 mg/m 3 , the measurements need not be
repeated except when there has been a product ion, process , control or personnel
change which may result in new or additional exposure of inorganic arsenic. If the
initial monitoring reveals employee exposure to be above the action level and
below the PEL of 10 mg/m 3 , then monitoring shall be performed at least every six
months . If the in itia l monitoring reveals employee exposure to be above the PEL ,
the monitoring shall be repeated at least quarterly.
Sampl ing Information . Accord ing to NIOSH method 790 1 inorganic arsenic is to be
mon itored using a mid-range flow personal pump calibrated at 1-3 Umin. with a
total sample size of 30-1000 L. It is important that the total dust does not exceed 2

Monitoring Information. According to NIOSH method 0600, monitoring for respirable dust
should be performed in locations where employees may be exposed at or above
the 5 mg/m3 TWA. Annual baseline monitoring is recommended using an
integrated area sample to determine any possible employee exposures. In
addition, monitoring may be required upon any change in process or equipment.
Sampling Information. The sample media consists of a polyvinyl chloride filter (0 .5 mm
pore size, 37 mm diameter) with a backup pad in a two-piece , 37 mm cassette
filter holder. A 10 mm Dorr-Oliver nylon cyclone is to be attached in a sample
train.
Medical Surveillance. No routine medical surveillance is required .
Health Information . Respirable dust can irritate the upper respiratory tract and lung tissue,
or the terminal passages of the lungs and the air sacs, depending upon the
solubility of the material. It causes fibrotic growth (scar tissue) in the lungs.
2. NATURAL GAS (METHANE) (CH 4 )
Monitoring Information. Methane, when present in high concentrations in the air, acts
primarily as a simple asphyxiant, usually without other significant physiologic
effects. The limiting factor is the available oxygen. OSHA requires that monitoring
be performed in locations where employees may be exposed to an oxygen
deficient atmosphere which is defined as 19.5 % or below.
Sampling Information. A direct reading monitor prior to entry into a possibly oxygen
deficient atmosphere is required according to 29 CFR 1910.146, and 29 CFR
1910.94. It is also recommended that the atmosphere be continuously monitored
if there is a possibility of changing conditions.
Medical Surveillance . No routine medical surveillance is required.
Health Information . Methane is a simple asphyxiant (by oxygen displacement) and, in
high concentrations, can overcome an individual without forewarning symptoms.
In low concentrations, it can cause dizziness , headaches, restlessness, dyspnea,
sweating , malaise, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma ,
asphyxiation, convulsions and frostbite . Methane targets the lungs, skin and the
cardiovascular system.
3 . NITROGEN (N 2)
Monitoring Information. Nitrogen, when present in high concentrations in the air, acts
primarily as a simple asphyxiant without other significant physiologic effects. The
limiting factor is the available oxygen. OSHA requires that monitoring be
performed in locations where employees may be exposed to an oxygen deficient
atmosphere which is defined as 19 .5 % or below. This covers the Arsonates ,
Dacthal , Chlorothalonil I and IPN units.

D. Monitoring of Stresses other than Airborne Contaminants
1. HEAT STRESS
Monitoring Information. According to the ACGIH, fully clothed workers should not be
permitted to continue their work when their deep body temperature exceeds
100.4°F. Higher heat exposures than in Table 1 (See Appendix D) below are
permissible if the workers have been undergoing medical surveillance and it has
been established that they are more tolerant to work in heat than the average
worker. Since measurement of deep body temperature is impractical for
monitoring the workers' heat load, the measurement of environmental factors is
required which most nearly correlate with deep body temperature and other
physiological responses to heat.
Sampling Information. Three thermometers are used for measurement of heat stress
conditions . First , a globe thermometer, consisting of a 15 cm diameter hollow
copper sphere painted ori the outside with a matte black finish or equivalent
should be used. The bulb or sensor of a thermometer must be fixed in the center
of the sphere . The range should be from 23°F to 212°F . The globe thermometer
should be exposed for at least 25 minutes before it is read .
Second, the dry and wet bulb thermometer with a range of 23 °F to 122 °F with an
accuracy of +/-5% °F is used. It must be shielded from the sun and the other
radiant surfaces of the environment without restricting the airflow around the bulb.
The wick of the natural wet bulb thermometer should be kept wet with distilled
water for at least 1/2 hour before the temperature reading is made . It is not
enough to immerse the other end of the wick into a reservoir of distilled water and
wait until the whole wick becomes wet by capillary action. The wick should be
wetted by direct application of water from a syringe 1/2 hour before each reading .
The wick should extend over the bulb of the thermometer, covering the stem about
one additional bulb length.
The thermometers must be placed so that the readings are representative of the
conditions under which the employees work or rest, respectively.

Medical Surveillance . It is the responsibility of the individual who is monitoring to survey
any possible hazards associated with heat stress. If work is to be performed
under hot environmental conditions , the workload category of each job should be
established and the heat exposure limit pertinent to the workload evaluated
against the applicable standard in order to protect the worker exposure beyond
the permissible limit (TL V). Using an apparent temperature index (based on
environmental temperature and relative humidity), heat stress with physical activity
and/or prolonged exposure can be assessed :

Health Information. Heat exhaustion is caused by water and/or salt depletion. The
symptoms include fatigue , nausea , headache , giddiness, moist, clammy skin, pale
complexion, muddy or hectic flush. The individual may faint on standing with rapid
thready pulse and low blood pressure . The oral temperature may be normal , but
the rectal temperature is usually elevated.
Heat cramps are painful spasms of the muscles used during work such as the arms, legs,
or abdominal area.
Heatstroke is characterized by hot, dry skin , usually red, mottled or cyanotic. The
individual's rectal temperature may exceed 104°F. The symptoms include
confusion , loss of consciousness, and convulsions. Heatstroke can be fatal is
treatment is delayed .

above the 85 dBA TWA The sampl ing strategy shall be designed to identify
employees for inclusion in the hearing conservation program and to enable the
proper selection of hearing protection . Monitoring shall be repeated whenever a
change in production , process , equ ipment or controls increases noise exposures
the extent that additional employees may be exposed at or above the action level
or when the attenuation provided by hearing protectors is rendered inadequate.
Sampling Information. When high worker mobility occurs , personal dosimetry is the
recommended method. If there is little or no worker mobility , an area sample will
be sufficient. All continuous , intermi ttent and impulsive sound levels from 80
decibe ls to 130 decibels shall be integrated into the noise measurements.
Medical Surveillance . An employee will be admitted into a hearing conservation program
whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed the 85 dBA TWA (without
regard to the use of hearing protection). This includes monitoring , audiometric
testing (including baseline , annual testing , and re -testing if an employee has
suffered a standard threshold shift), provision of hearing protection , and training .
Health Information . Noise can influence the social and commun icative aspects of a
human's life. People who are hard of hearing are often blamed unfairly for be ing
crotchety , cantankerous , rude and suspicious , but in reality, they may not answer
questions because they have not heard them.

10. Industrial Hygiene General Information (tra ining)
A. CHOOSING MEASUREMENT METHODS AND SAMPLING MEDIA
Proper planning minimizes sampl ing , measurement costs , and labor and
contributes to a smooth, successful survey. Many th ings must be
considered before collecting field samples. The first step is to define
sampling objectives . These may include documenting exposures in
particular work settings, determ ining compliance/non-compliance with
ex isting Federal or local standards or recommended exposure limits , or
trying to determine the source of a problem. Sampling parameters that
should be defined might include type of sample (area vs . personal),
contaminant(s) to be sampled , duration of samples , potential interference 's
and expected contaminant concentrat ions ( or contaminant concentration of
interest). Once these parameters are defined , then the proper analytical
method and sampling media can be selected. Other general information
needed to plan a survey properly include the number of employees , the
sampling strategy plan (d iscussed later), process flow diagram , material
safety data sheets on all process materials , the physical states of the
substances to be sampled , and potential hazards involved in collecting and
shipping the samples.
It is essential to consult with the se lected AIHA accredited analytical laboratory
before sampling to ensure that the measurement methods available can
meet the defined sampling needs. This step should be an early part of
survey planning.
Whether through consultat ion with the laboratory or through reading the specific
measurement method , the sampling media will be specifically identified ,
e.g., pore size and type of filter , concentration and amount of liquid media
required, and specific type and amount of solid sorbent If specific brand
name products are called for, no substitutions shou ld be made. Most
sampling media are well defined through research and testing ; deviations
from specifications are undesirable . For example , most organic
contaminants are sampled with a dual section tube containing 100 mg front
and 50 mg backup sections of 20/40 mesh activated coconut shell charcoal.
If larger mesh charcoal or a different type of charcoal were to be used , the
sampling capacity and recovery efficiencies for the contaminant of i nterest
might change from that which is specified in the method.
The physical state of the contaminant(s) being sampled may also be a factor in
determining the media required . For example, in the case of polyaromatic

hydrocarbons (PAHs), the proper sampler consists of a membrane filter to
trap particulate matter and a solid sorbent tube to trap the vapors of certain
PAHs so that total collection is assured . Solid sorbents are used for the
collection of vapors only. Aerosols are not collected effectively by most
sorbent beds, but may be collected by other components of the sampler
(e.g., a prefilter, or the glass wool plugs used to hold the sorbent bed in
place).
The sampling pump used to collect the sample must also be compatible with the
sampling needs and the media used . Specifically, the pump must be
capable of maintaining the desired flow rate over the time period needed
using the sampling media specified. Some pumps may not be able to
handle the large pressure drop (kPa) of the media . This will be true for fine
mesh (smaller than 40 mesh) solid sorbent tubes , small pore size filters or
when attempting to take a short-term sample on a sorbent tube of a higher
than normal pressure drop at a flow rate of 1 L/min. or greater. All pumps
should be calibrated with representative sampling media prior to use . It is
good practice to check the pump calibration before and after use each day.
As a minimum , calibration should be done before and after each survey.
B.. FIGURING SAMPLE PARAMETERS
Once the sampling media and measurement method are chosen , then the specific
sampling parameters need to be determined . For most methods , this will not
pose a problem as the flow rate recommended in the method can be used for
the desired sampling period , e.g ., 1 to 3 Umin. for 8 hr. for most aerosols or 10
to 200 ml/min. for 8 hr. for most sorbent tube samples. Generally , the
parameters which must be considered are flow rate , total sample volume ,
sampling time (tied into the two previous parameters), and limit of quantitation
(LOO). Some of these variables will be fixed by sampling needs , e.g .,
sampling time or by the measurement method of choice {LOO or maximum
sampling volumes). The choice of these variables can best be explained
through the use of the following examples.
Examples:
1. Sampling for Gases and Vapors Using Solid Sorbents
Given parameters: Method 150 I for Styrene
Recommended Sample Volume : 5 L
Useful Range of the Method: 85 to 2560 mg/m 3 (20 to 600 ppm)
OSHA PEL: 850 mg/m 3 (200 ppm)-Ceiling
425 mg/m 3 (100 ppm)-TWA
Recommended Flow Rate: 0.2 L/min.
Breakthrough Time: 111 min. @ 0.2 L/min . and 1710 mg/m 3

Suppose it is desired to determine both ceiling and TWA exposures of workers
exposed to styrene and the concentrations are unknown .
Ceiling Determination : If sampling were done at 0.2 Umin . for 30 min. and a total
sample volume of 6 L collected which is above the 5 L recommended sample
volume , would this be a problem? Probably not. For instance, in the
breakthrough test, a concentration of 2 times the OSHA Ceiling Standard
( 1710 mg/m 3 ) was sampled at 0.2 Umin. for 111 min. (22.2 L) before
breakthrough occurred, collecting a total weight of 38 mg of styrene. Of
course , this test was conducted in a dry environment with only styrene
present. A safety factor of 50% should be allowed to account for humidity
effects. Thus , if sampling is done for about 55 min. at 0.2 Umin ., levels of
styrene up to 400 ppm could still be collected without sample breakthrough .
Also to be considered are the other organics present. If a concentration of 200 ppm
acetone exists in this environment, then an additional safety factor should be
added . An arbitrary 50% reduction in total sampling time or 28 min. at 0.2
Umin. might be considered. This is very close to the original sampling time of
30 minutes. With the safety factors built in, collecting a 6-L sample should not
be a problem. Alternately, the flow could be reduced to 0.1 Umin. and be well
within the 5-L total volume.
TWA Determination : In this same situation, the goal is to collect 8-hr samples for
comparison to the 100 ppm TWA. If sampling was performed at 0.05 Umin.,
then the total sample volume would be 22 .5 L, substantially above the 5-L
recommended sample volume. If the flow was dropped to 0.02 Umin ., then
the sample volume would be 9 L. This sample volume might be acceptable if
the styrene concentrations are around 100 ppm and no other competing
organics are present, e.g., acetone . However, the safer approach would be to
collect two consecutive samples at 0 .02 Umin. for 4 hr. (total sample volume
of 4.8 Leach).
C. BULK SAMPLES
The addition of bulk samples can often make the difference between a successful or
unsuccessful sampling effort . This is especially true where there is mixed
solvent exposure or unknown dust exposure and for determining silica content
of dusts. The primary purpose of bulk samples is to provide the analytical
laboratory with a large enough sample for qualitative (and sometimes
quantitative) analysis. The two major types of bulk samples are bulk air and
mass bulk (liquid or solid) samples.
Bulk Air Samples. Generally, a bulk air sample is defined as a large volume area
sample collected for the purpose of qualitative analysis. A good example is
multiple solvent exposure where the exact identity of the airborne solvents is
unknown (e .g., painting operations). For most organic solvents, a bulk air
sample consists of a charcoal tube ( or whatever sorbent is called for) collected
at 1 Umin. for several hours. Although the sample is likely to exhibit

Br ia n Morel Brian Morel
breakthrough , this does not matter since one is primarily interested in what
substances are present rather than their exact concentrations (the latter aim is
accomplished through the separate collection of proper samples). Any
questions concerning how or whether or not a bulk air sample is needed
should be addressed to the analytical laboratory prior to sampling. In the case
of silica , either a bulk air or solid bulk (e .g., a rafter sample) or both are
suggested so that enough material will be available to determine free silica
content.
Bulk Liquids and Solids. Collection of bulk materials may be needed to establish the
substances present in the workplace and , in some cases, to establish the
relative levels of certain substances present in the raw material. A good
example of the latter is the case of mixed solvent exposure when determining
if a certain contaminant of interest is present (e.g., benzene). In some cases ,
a list of 30 solvents may be present (from Material Safety Data Sheets), but it
is not certain which ones are present or in what proportions. This example is
also true for dusts , silica, or for metals which may exist in trace quantities.
In choosing bulk samples, the end goal must be considered: qualitative and/or
quantitative analysis . In the case of a painting operation, it is preferred to have
the bulk samples separated by contaminants of interest (i.e., solvent fraction
separate from the pigment fraction). This allows the laboratory to analyze the
different portions of the paints without having to go through a lengthy
separation process. In general, the cleaner the bulk , the easier it will be for
the laboratory to conduct the analysis . In many cases, the industrial hygienist
is interested in a "dirty" bulk. Any information that can be given to the
laboratory on what may or may not be present will help speed up the analysis.
Advance consultation with the laboratory is desirable.
Bulk Dust Samples. In choosing bulk dust samples , the sample should be
representative of the airborne dust to which the workers are being exposed .
Usually this is a settled dust sample collected from rafters or near the workers'
job site. In other cases, a process dust sample is chosen to determine the
composition of the material before it is airborne . In cases where the choice is
not clear , do not follow the adage that "more is better." Bulk samples should
be limited in number to optimize the laboratory's time. A good approach, when
in doubt as to what bulks are needed, is to collect several but to allow the
laboratory to analyze only those needed to answer questions as they arise .
D. BLANKS
Certain numbers of blanks are required by the analytical laboratory for each set of
samples to be analyzed . The specific method being used should be consulted
concerning the number and type of blanks required . There are two types of
sample blanks: field and media blanks. Field blanks are clean samples taken
to the sampling site, handled in every way as the air samples , except that no
air is drawn through them. Media blanks are simply unopened , new samples
which are sent with the samples (these blanks are not usually taken to the
field). It is also recommended that additional blind field blanks be sent along

with the field samples , labeled as field samples , as a further check on the
analysis. Blanks are good insurance to deal with contamination , but the best
approach is to avoid sample contamination by being careful. The
recommended practice for the number of field blanks is two field blanks for
each 10 samples with a maximum of 10 field blanks for each samp le set.
Approximately five media blanks should also be included. Again , consult the
specific method for the number and type of blanks as these numbers will vary.
E. DIRECT READING METHODS
The variety of types and costs of direct-reading methods available is large and
expanding , including detector tubes (both short-and long -term), aerosol
monitors , passive monitors (badges) for certain gases and portable
instrumentation for gas chromatography or infrared spectroscopy . Many
direct-reading instruments now used for personal or area measurements have
evolved from laboratory or process control instruments.
In many cases , direct-reading instruments, which are physically small and portable ,
qualify as personal sampling devices . A portable instrument is defined as
weighing less than 4.5 kg ( 10 lbs.) and powered by self-contained batteries .
For personal monitoring, the instrument configuration should be such that the
breathing zone can be monitored . Alarms , both aud ible and visual , and hard
copy documentation are desirable . These offer the additional advantages over
classical methods by reducing labor and analytical costs and may be the
methods of choice when instantaneous results are important , even at the
expense of same degree of sensitivity or specificity. In general ,
manufacturers' instructions should be followed in the calibration and use of
these devices. Due to the severe cond itions to which direct-reading
instruments may be subjected , performance checks and preventive
maintenance on a periodic basis or before each use are very important. Many
direct-reading instruments are powered by Ni-Cd batteries which can fail to
provide a full charge over the full sampling period unless frequently or fully
discharged and recharged several times just prior to use. An additional
responsibility , that of field calibration of the direct-read ing instrument , falls on
the field sampling personnel.
F. SAMPLING STRATEGY
To obtain the maximum amount of information during the course of a survey with a
minimum amount of samples , a statistical sampling strategy should be
developed before conducting any survey. Several pieces of information must
be known in advance to plan a sampling strategy , including the size of the
work force to be sampled , the accuracy of the sampling and measurement
method to be used , and the confidence one wishes to have in predicting the
exposure of the work force . For example , to determine with -90% confidence
that at least one worker from a workplace subgroup will be in the top 10% of
the exposures occurring in the group , the number of employees to sample
would be chosen from Table 2 (See Appendix E). Judicious use of sampling
statistics will optimize the number of samples needed.

G. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
The following are suggested general techniques for active sampling us ing some of
the more common samplers. Consult individual methods for deta ils of sample
size . Also , where appropriate , instructions for passive sampling and the use of
direct-reading instruments appear in individual methods.
Calibration of Personal Sampling Pumps . The accuracy of determination of the
concentration of a toxic substance in air is no greater than the accuracy with
which the air volume is measured. Therefore , accurate calibration of the
airflow rate through the sampling train is necessary. The frequency of
calibration depends on the use, care and handling to which the pump is
subjected. In addition, pumps must be re-calibrated if they have been abused
and after each repair. Ordinarily, pumps should be calibrated in the laboratory
and the field , both before field use and after each field survey.
1. Sampling Instructions for Solid Sorbent Tube Sampler. Use these
instructions for active personal sampling (i.e., pumped sample airflow) for
substances which are retained on solid sorbents such as activated
charcoal , silica gel , porous polymers, etc .
a) Calibrate each personal sampling pump at the desired flow rate with
a representative solid sorbent tube in line, using a bubble meter or
equivalent flow measuring device. Alternatively , use a flow restrictor
to provide a pressure drop equal to that of the average solid sorbent
tube.
b) Break the ends of the solid sorbent tube immediately before
sampling to provide an opening at least one-half of the internal
diameter at each end.
c) Connect the solid sorbent tube to a calibrated personal sampling
pump with flexible tubing with the smaller sorbent section (backup
section) nearer to the pump. Do not pass the air being sampled
through any hose or tubing before entering the solid sorbent tube.
Position the solid sorbent tube vertically during sampling to avoid
channeling and premature breakthrough .
d) Prepare the field blanks at about the same time as sampling is
begun . These field blanks should consist of unused solid sorbent
tubes from the same lot used for sample collection. Handle and ship
the field blanks exactly as the samples (e .g ., break the ends and seal
with plastic caps) but do not draw air through the field blanks . One
field blank is required for each 10 samples with a maximum of 10
field blanks per sample set.
e) Take the sample at an accurately known flow rate as specified in the
method for the substance and for the specified air volume . Typical

flow rates are in the range 0.01 to 0.2 Umin . Check the pump during
sampling to determine that the flow rate has not changed. If
sampling problems preclude the accurate measurement of air
volume, discard the sample. Take two to four replicate samples for
quality control for each set of field samples.
f) Record pertinent sampling data including location of sample, times of
beginning and end of sampling, initial and final air temperatures,
relative humidity and atmospheric pressure or elevation above sea
level.
g) Seal the ends of the tube immediately after sampling with plastic
caps. Label each sample and blank clearly with waterproof
identification.
2. Sampling Instructions for Filter Sampler. Use these instructions for
personal sampling of total (respirable and non-respirable) aerosols.
These instructions are not intended for respirable aerosol sampling.
a) Calibrate the personal sampling pump with a representative filter in
line using a bubble meter or equivalent flow measuring device.
b) Assemble the filter in the two-piece cassette filter holder. Support
the filter by a stainless steel screen or cellulose backup pad . Close
firmly to prevent sample leakage around the filter. Seal the filter
holder with plastic tape or a shrinkable cellulose band. Connect the
filter holder to the personal sampling pump with a piece of flexible
tubing.
c) Remove the filter holder plugs and attach the filter holder to the
personal sampling pump tubing. Clip the filter holder to the worker's
lapel. Air being sampled should not be passed through any hose or
tubing before entering the filter holder.
d) Prepare the field blanks at about the same time as sampling is
begun. These field blanks should consist of unused filters and filter
holders from the same lot used for sample collection. Handle and
ship the field blanks exactly as the samples, but do not draw air
through the field blanks. Two field blanks are required for each 10
samples with a maximum of 10 field blanks per sample set.
e) Sample at a flow rate of 1 to 3 Umin . until the recommended sample
volume is reached . Set the flow rate as accurately as possible (e.g.,
within +/-5%) using the personal sampling pump manufacturer's
directions. Take two to four replicate samples for quality control for
each set of field samples .
f) Observe the sample frequently and terminate sampling at the first
evidence of excessive filter loading or change in personal sampling
pump flow rate. It is possible for a filter to become plugged by heavy

initial and final air temperatures , relative hum idity and atmospheric
pressure or elevation above sea level. Record the type of personal
sampling pump used and location of sampler.
3. Sampling Instructions for Filter and Cyclone Sampler. Use these
instructions for personal sampling of respirable aerosols.
a) Calibrate the pump to 1.7 Umin., with a representative cyclone
sampler in line using a bubble meter or a secondary flow measuring
device which has been calibrated against a bubble meter. The
ca li bration of the personal sampling pump should be done close to
the same altitude where the sample will be taken.
b) Assemble the pre-weighed filter in the two-piece cassette filter
holder. Support the filter with a stainless steel screen or cellulose
backup pad. Close firmly to prevent sample leakage around the
filter. Seal the filter holder with plastic tape or a shrinkable cellulose
band .
c) Remove the cyclone's grit cap and vortex finder before use and
inspect the cyclone interior. If the inside is visibly scored , discard
this cyclone since the dust separation characteristics of the cyclone
might be altered . Clean the interior of the cyclone to prevent re-
entrainment of large particles.
d) Assemble the two-piece filter holder, coupler, cyclone and sampling
head. The sampling head rigidly holds together the cyclone and filter
holder. Check and adjust the alignment of the filter holder and
cyclone in the sampling head to prevent leakage . Connect the outlet
of the sampling head to the personal sampling pump by a I m piece
of 6 mm ID flexible tubing .
e) Clip the cyclone assembly to the worker's lapel and the personal
sampling pump to the belt. Ensure that the cyclone hangs vertically .
Explain to the worker why the cyclone must not be inverted .
f) Prepare the field blanks at about the same time as sampling is
begun. These field blanks should consist of unused filters and filter
holders from the same lot used for sample collection . Handle and
ship the field blanks exactly as the samples , but do not draw air
through the field blanks. Two field blanks are required for each 10
samples with a maximum of 10 field blanks per sample set.

g) Turn on the pump and begin sample collection. If necessary, reset
the flow rate to the pre-calibrated 1.7 Umin. level , using the
manufacturer's adjustment procedures . Since it is possible for a filter
to become plugged by heavy particulate loading or by the presence
of oil mists or other liquids in the air, observe the filter and personal
sampling pump frequently to keep the flow rate with in +/-5% of 1. 7
Umin . The sampling should be terminated at the first evidence of a
problem .
h) Disconnect the filter after sampling. Cap the inlet and outlet of the
fi lter holder with plugs . Label the sample. Record pertinent
sampling data including times of beginning and end of sampling ,
initial and final air temperatures and atmospheric pressure or
elevation above sea level. Record the type of personal sampling
pump , filter, cyclone used and the location of the sampler.
i ) Take two to four replicate samples for every set of field samples to
assure quality of the sampling procedures . The set of replicate
samples should be exposed to the same dust environment, e ither in
a laboratory dust chamber or in the field . The quality control
samples must be taken with the same equipment, procedures and
personnel used in the routine field samples .
H. TYPES OF SAMPLING
1. Integrated Sampling. The preferred method for determining a time-weighted
average (TWA) exposure, integrated sampling cons ists of samples taken for the
full or partial duration of the time averaging period . That time can be anywhere
from 15 minutes to 8 hours, depending on whether a ceiling , short-term , or 8-
hour exposure limit is being evaluated.
2 . Area Sampling . This type of sampling is used to identify high exposure areas or
determine if an area should be isolated or restricted to prevent employees from
entering a highly contam inated area . The samples are usually taken at fixed
locations where high concentrations of the contaminant is likely. The Integrated
sampling method is usually used for area workplace sampling because of
duration of the time averaging period.
3. Persona l Sampling . This is the preferred method of evaluating a workers'
exposure to air contaminants, or environmental stresses . Personal samples are
taken in the breathing zone . of a worker so the data collected is an
approximation of the actual concentration inhaled. Integrated sampling is used
to moni tor workers' exposure because of the duration of the sampling period .
4. Grab Sampling . These samples represent the environmental concentration at a
particular point in time. They are useful for evaluating peak exposures ,
especially for primary irritants . It is helpful in following several phases of a cyclic
process , but se ldom used to estimate and 8-hour average concentration .

5. Baseline Sampling. In order to initiate a routine monitoring strategy, baseline
values must be obtained. These integrated samples are a representative of a
cross-section of shift workers and work functions. Usually after baseline data is
obtained, the only required monitoring is on an annual basis.
6. Bulk Sampling. This method of sampling is used to provide the analytical
laboratory with a large enough sample for qualitative (and sometimes
quantitative) analysis. When sampling a solid matrix hazard , such as asbestos
or lead, it is intended to be used as a qualitative sample to determine whether
monitoring and/or abatement is necessary.
7. Special Situations. Monitoring may be required during non-routine operations
where the permissible exposure limit (PEL) may be exceeded (e.g., unit
shutdowns, maintenance, etc.).
I. SELECTION OF EQUIPMENT
There are a number of factors to consider when selecting sampling equipment:
1. the sampling objective (documenting exposures, determining compliance, pin-
pointing source of exposure)
2. the physical and chemical characteristics of the chemical
3. the presence of other chemicals that may interfere with the collection and/or
analysis
4. required accuracy and sensitivity
5. regulatory requirements
6. complexity of method
7. cost
8. reliability
9. type of sample required (area vs. personal)
10. duration of sampling

1.0 Features
The MlcroMax is an economical one, two, three, four or, with Combo-
Tox sensor, up to five gas detector. It combines proven sensor performance
and high tech features in a small, easy-to-use monitor. All MicroMax features
are designed to ensure both worker safety and simple operation.
• UquJd Crystal Display
High contrast 2 line x 16 character alphanumeric display. Indicates the
gas and concentration of up to four gases simultaneously.
• Display Backligbting
Automatic fiber-optic backlighting provides display readability in dim or
dark environments.
• Automatic Toxic: Sensor Recognition
Microprocessor automatically recognizes most toxic sensors when plugged
in. Monitor displays corresponding gas, sets gain, and initializes
temperature compensation and correct alarm setpoints.
• Simple Calibration
Utilizes Lumidor's "Easy Cal" calibration method to provide fast, easy,
accurate calibration with no user adjustment of potentiometers.
• Automatic Zeroing
Sets Oxygen range to 20.9% and other ranges to zero automatically.
Nullifies small differences in sensor output within a very limited range.
Automatic zeroing will not occur in certain cases where a sensor is
defective, or in highly contaminated atmospheres. If automatic zeroing
does not occur monitor displays "Auto Zero Error" and shuts itself off.
• Battery/llme Mode
Display of battery voltage and elapsed time. Datalogging versions display
local time instead of elapsed time.
• PeakMode
Display of highest combustible and toxic gas levels, and lowest oxygen
lev'el, since monitor was last turned on or it's memory cleared.
1.0 Features 2
• STELMode
Display of the accumulated short term exposure level for toxic gas range( s)
since monitor was last turned on or it's memory cleared.
• TWAMode
Display of accumulated time weighted average level for toxic gas range(s)
s ince the monitor was last turned on or it's memory cleared. The average
of the LEL and 02 ranges is also indicated.
• aearMode
Clears memory of Peak, STEL and 1WA readings. The stored data in
memory is also cleared on download versions.
• User Selectable Power Source
Operates on either rechargeable Ni-Cad battery pack or two approved AA
size alkaline batteries. Built-in recognition of power source prevents
accidental charging when alkaline batteries are in place. WARNING:
Replace batteries and/or charge only in an area known to be non-hazardous.
• Charge Status Recognition
Automaticalty shuts instrument off if charger is connected while monitor
is on. This prevents the charger from being used as a supplemental power
source which is not intrinsically safe.
• User Selectable Alarm Levels
Switchable jumper on internal P.C. board altows user to choose between
Immediate or Tune WeightedAverage (1WA) alann modes for toxic gases.
(Refer to Appendix B for alarm setpoints.)
• Latcb.lq or Self-Resetting Alarms
Standard instruments have self-resetting alarms. Latching alarms, if
desired, should be specified at time of order.
• MultipleAJana lndkaton
Audible alarm(> 90dB at one foot), flashing red LED, and flashing display
( alternates between gas range( s) and "ALM" message) alert user of unsafe
gas level(s)
• Low Battery Warning

3.0 Testing/Calibration
CAUfION: Use only factory supplied calibration gas for calibration. Accurate
calibration can be achieved only if specific concentrations of the
correct gas is used. Please refer to "Specifications" (Appendix 8,
paragraph M).
3.1 Calibration frequency
• It is very important to verify accuracy on a regular basis to guard against
any unexpected loss of sensitivity due to exposure of the sensors to
poisons present in the atmosphere being monitored (such as high
concentrations of combustible gas, tetra-ethel-lead, sulfides or silicone
containing lubricants), loss of sensitivity due to aging or desiccation of
the sensors, mechanical damage due to dropping or immersion, or loss
of sensitivity due to other causes.
• The safest possible course of action is to expose the sensors to a known
concentration test gas before each day's use. This "bump" test is very
simple and takes only a few seconds to accomplish. It is not necessary
to make a calibration adjustment unless readings are off by more than+
or -15% of the expected value. If this procedure is followed the
calibration interval can be up to 90 days.
If your operating procedures do not permit daily checking of the sensors,
Lumidor recommends the following procedure to establish a safe and
prudent check schedule:
• Initially, over a period of a few days, check the response daily to be sure
there is nothing in your atmosphere that is poisoning the sensors.. If the
instrument displays the correct concentration levels after two weeks on
this schedule the calibration interval may be extended to 2 weeks. If the
unit does not require calibration after 2 months on this schedule, the
calibration interval may be extended to 30 days. Always observe your
employer's calibration and testing schedules.

Appendix A Troubleshooting
Common Errors and Remedies
Auto zero e"or
Each sensor has an auto zero window and if reading is outs ide this
range during the auto zero cycle an "auto zero error" message will be
displayed followed by immediate instrument shutdown.
Auto zero problems can be caused by the following:
• Monitor has been stored or turned on in a contaminated atmosphere .
The solution is to take monitor to a clean air environment and tum on
and off. Repeat, if necessary, to allow fresh air to purge the mon itor.
• Premature application of calibration gas. Calibration gas should be
applied only after monitor has completed it's auto zero cycle and the
calibration procedures in Section 3 adhered to. If this is the problem
tum instrument off for about 5 minutes to allow all gases to purge
from the instrument. Tum on and off as necessary to allow fresh air
to purge the mon itor.
• The following procedure cures many auto zero problems:
Use hex wrench to remove calibration port screw. Turn instrument
on and immediately thereafter, while "On" or "Self-Test" is
displayed, depress calibration switch once. Allow instrument to
complete it's self-test routine and observe the message
"Cal ibrating" displayed. After about 30 seconds again depress
cal ibration switch and" Apply gas" will be displayed. Do not apply
gas but depress the calibration switch once more . Unit will cycle
through auto zero cycle, display the alarm setpoints, and enter
normal operating mode.
• Where auto zero error is caused by an abnormal reading in the
combustible channel it is often possible to cure the problem using
this procedure :
• Use hex wrench to remove calibration port screw.
• With instrument turned off, open the MicroMax case by loosen ing
the two screws on the back panel (Fig.4-2)
21 Appendix A Troubleshoot ing
• Tum instrument on and immediately thereafter, while "On" or "Self-
Test" is displayed depress the calibration switch once. Allow
instrument to go through self-test cycle and observe the message
"Calibrating" displayed. Use trimpot VR2 on top circuit board
near the pump to set LEL reading to zero (plus or minus 5%LEL).
Depress calibration switch and "apply gas" will be displayed. Do
not apply gas but depress the calibration switch once more. Unit
will cycle through auto zero, display alann setpoints, and enter
normal operating mode.
NOTE: Where the procedures outlined above fail to solve the auto
zero problem please seek Technical assistance from your distributor
or directly from Lumidor Safety_ Products at 1-800-433-7220.
Monitor's run time with Ni-cad battery paclc is below specification
• Charger is connected to an outlet that was not powered overnight.
• Monitor is not being charged at ambient temperature. The temperature
range for proper charging is between O degrees C (32 degrees F) and
45 degrees C (113 degrees F)
• Insufficiently charged or defective battery pack
Monitor will not turn on
• One (or both) alkaline batteries is inserted incorrectly (polarity
reversed). Replace batteries, making sure to adhere to the orientation
indicated on the battery holder.
• Alkaline batteries are in need of replacement. Obtain fresh batteries.
• See "Monitor's run time with Ni-Cad battery pack is below
specification" above.
• NI-Cad battery pack ls not accepting a charge. (e.g. pump runs
during attempts to charge pack. This can usually be cured by removing
the Ni-Cad battery pack, connecting the MAX-1 charger to the
instrument, and reconnecting the battery pack. If this does not cure
the problem on the first attempt, repeat until the pump does not run
during charging and the charger's LED glows. This problem occurs
when a depleted Ni-Cad battery pack is not immediately placed on
charge but allowed to sit for an extended period off charge. There is
then insufficient power in the pack to power the electronic circuits in
the MicroMax. This problem can easily be prevented by proper user
training where the need to place the pack on charge is emphasized. A
way to preclude this problem is to purchase an inexpensive charging
adapter (MAX-15) which allows the Ni-Cad pack to be charged
separately from the monitor using one oiJhe chargers approved for
the MicroMax. When charged the pack may be placed in the
MicroMax before use.

Table 1 above contains the relative span for a number of combustible gases.
This enables one to make the following calculations:
1. The instrument LEL reading when exposed to a specific LEL concentration of
a combustible gas included in table 1.
The calculation is :
Instrument reading _ LEL concentraUoo of gas applied x relalive SRiO of ga., applied
(%LEL) -relative span of calibration gas
Example: What will an instrument, calibrated to methane , read when exposed
to 10% toluene?
Answer: ~ = 4.4% toluene
100
25 Appendix B Specifications
2. Where an LEL reading is observed, the LEL concentration applied may be
calculated:
LEL Concentration = Instrument reading (LEU x rela1iw span of calibration gas
applied relative span of gas applied
Example: An instrument, calibrated to methane, reads 22% I.EL when exposed
to propane. What is the level of propane being applied to the instrument?
Answer: 22 x 100 = 34 .9% LEL propane

A. Scope
This program must be complied with by all Eagle personnel exposed to noise levels set out in
29 CFR 1910.95 (OSHA Standard).
B. Training Program
Eagle has instituted a training program for all employees who are exposed to noise at or above
an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels , and shall ensure employee participation in
such program. Eagle shall make training material and related information readily available and
free access to employees involved in the program.
C. Noise Limits
(1) Protection against the effects of noise exposure shall be provided when the sound
exceeds the levels measured on a standard sound level meter at slow response. When
noise levels are determined by octave band analysis, the equivalent A-weighted sound
level may be determined by checking figure G-9 in 29 CFR 1910.95
(2) Equivalent sound level contours. Octave band sound pressure levels may be converted
to the equivalent A-weighted sound level by plotting them on this graph and noting the
A-weighted sound level corresponding to the point of highest penetration into the sound
level contours. This equivalent A-weighted sound level, which may differ from the actual
A-weighted sound level of the noise, is used to determine exposure limits from Table
1.G-16.
(3) When employees are subjected to sound exceeding those listed in Table G-16, feasible
administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized. If such controls fail to reduce
sound levels within the levels of Table G-16, personal protective equipment shall be
provided and used to reduce sound levels within the levels of the table.
(4) If the variations in noise level involve maxima at intervals of 1 second or less, it is to be
considered continuous.

Footnote: (1) When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more
periods of noise exposure at different levels, their combined
effect should be considered , rather than the individual effect
of each. If the sum of the following fractions: C(1 )/T(1) +
C(2)/T(2)C(n)/T(n) exceeds unity, then the mixed exposure
should be considered to exceed the limit value . Cn indicates
the total time of exposure at a specified noise level , and Tn
indicates the total time of exposure permitted at that level.
Exposure to impulsive or impact noise should not exceed
140 dB peak sound pressure level.
D. Hearing Conservation Program
(1) The employer shall administer a continuing , effective hearing conservation program , as
described in paragraphs (c) through (o) of this section , whenever employee noise
exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (TWA) of 85
decibels measured on the A scale (slow response) or, equivalently, a dose of fifty
percent. For purposes of the hearing conservation program , employee noise exposures
shall be computed in accordance with appendix A and Table G-16a , and without regard
to any attenuation provided by the use of personal protective equipment.
E. Monitoring
(1) When information indicates that any employee's exposure may equal or exceed an 8-
hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels , the employer shall develop and implement a
monitoring program .

(a) The sampling strategy shall be designed to identify employees for inclusion in the
hearing conservation program and to enable the proper selection of hearing
protectors .
(b) Where circumstances such as high worker mobility, significant variations in
sound level , or a significant component of impulse noise make area monitoring
generally inappropriate, the employer shall use representative personal sampling
to comply with the monitoring requirements of this paragraph unless the
employer can show that area sampling produces equivalent results.
F. Audiometric Testing
(1) Testing will be done on all personnel exposed to noise levels of 85d8 based on an 8
hour TWA.
(2) Baseline audiogram
(a) Within 6 months of an employee's first exposure at or above the action level, the
employer shall establish a valid baseline audiogram against which subsequent
audiograms can be compared .
(b) "Mobile test van exception." Where mobile test vans are used to meet the
audiometric testing obligation , the employer shall obtain a valid baseline
audiogram within 1 year of an employee's first exposure at or above the action
level. Where baseline audiograms are obtained more than 6 months after the
employee's first exposure at or above the action level , employees shall wearing
hearing protectors for any period exceeding six months after first exposure until
the baseline audiogram is obtained.
(c) Testing to establish a baseline audiogram shall be preceded by at least 14 hours
without exposure to workplace noise. Hearing protectors may be used as a
substitute for the requirement that baseline audiograms be preceded by 14 hours
without exposure to workplace noise.
(d) The employer shall notify employees of the need to avoid high levels of non-
occupational noise exposure during the 14-hour period immediately preceding
the audiometric examination .

(3) Annual audiogram
At least annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram , the employer shall obtain a
new audiogram for each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted
average of 85 decibels.
(4) Evaluation of audiogram
Each employee's annual audiogram shall be compared to that employee's baseline
audiogram to determine if the audiogram is valid and if a standard threshold shift as
defined in paragraph (g)(10) of this section has occurred. This comparison may be done
by a technician.
(5) Follow-Up Procedures
(a) If a comparison of the annual audiogram to the baseline audiogram indicates a
standard threshold shift as defined in paragraph (g)(10) of this section has
occurred, the employee shall be informed of this fact in writing, within 21 days of
the determination.
(b) Unless a physician determines that the standard threshold shift is not work
related or aggravated by occupational noise exposure, the employer shall ensure
that the following steps are taken when a standard threshold shift occurs :
(1) Employees not using hearing protectors shall be fitted with hearing
protectors , trained in their use and care , and required to use them.
(2) Employees already using hearing protectors shall be refitted and retrained
in the use of hearing protectors and provided with hearing protectors
offering greater attenuation if necessary .
(3) The employee shall be referred for a clinical audiological evaluation or an
otological examination , as appropriate, if additional testing is necessary or
if the employer suspects that a medical pathology of the ear is caused or
aggravated by the wearing of hearing protectors.
(4) The employee is informed of the need for an otological examination if a
medical pathology of the ear that is unrelated to the use of hearing
protectors is suspected.
(c) If subsequent audiometric testing of an employee whose exposure to noise is
less than an 8-hour TWA of 90 decibels indicates that a standard threshold shift
is not persistent , the employer:

(1) Shall inform the employee of the new audiometric interpretation; and
(2) May discontinue the required use of hearing protectors for that employee .
(6) Revised baseline.
An annual audiogram may be substituted for the baseline audiogram when, in the
judgment of the audiologist , otolaryngologist or physician who is evaluating the
audiogram :
(a) The standard threshold shift revealed by the audiogram is persistent; or
(b) The hearing threshold shown in the annual audiogram indicates significant
improvement over the baseline audiogram.
G. Standard Threshold Shift
(1) As used in this section, a standard threshold shift is a change in hearing threshold
relative to the baseline audiogram of an average of 10 dB or more at 2000, 3000, and
4000 Hz in either ear.
(2) In determining whether a standard threshold shift has occurred , allowance may be
made for the contribution of aging (presbycusis) to the change in hearing level by
correcting the annual audiogram according to the procedure described in 29 CFR
1910.95 Appendix F: "Calculation and Application of Age Correction to Audiograms."
H. Hearing Protectors
(1) Employers shall make hearing protectors available to all employees exposed to an 8-
hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels or greater at no cost to the employees.
Hearing protectors shall be replaced as necessary.
(2) Employers shall ensure that hearing protectors are worn :
(a) By an employee who is required by paragraph (b)(1) of this section to wear
personal protective equipment; and
(b) By any employee who is exposed to an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85
decibels or greater, and who:
(1) Has not yet had a baseline audiogram established pursuant to paragraph
(g)(5)(ii); or

through (m).
6.1.2 For air-purifying respirators, the employer must replace the air-purifying element at
the expiration of its service life or at the beginning of each shift in which such
elements are used, whichever comes first.
If NIOSH approves an air-purifying element with an end-of-service-life indicator for
benzene, such an element may be used until the indicator shows no further useful
life.
6 .2 Respirator selection. 29 CFR 1910.1028 (g)(2)
6.2.1 The employer must select the appropriate respirator from Table 1 of 29 CFR

5.3 Full shift personal samples will be representative of the monitored employee's regular , daily
exposure to lead.
5.4 Initial determination. Each employer who has a workplace or work operation covered by
this program will determine if any employee may be exposed to lead at or above the action
level.
5.4 .1 If the initial determination or subsequent monitoring reveals employee exposure to
be at or above the action level but below the permissible exposure limit the employer
will repeat monitoring in accordance with this paragraph at least every 6 months.
The employer will continue monitoring at the required frequency until at least two
consecutive measurements, taken at least 7 days apart, are below the action level at
which time the employer may discontinue monitoring for that employee except as
otherwise provided in paragraph (d)(7) of 29 CFR 1910.1028.
5.4 .2 If the initial monitoring reveals that employee exposure is above the permissible
exposure limit the employer will repeat monitoring quarterly. The employer will
continue monitoring at the required frequency until at least two consecutive
measurements taken at least 7 days apart are below the PEL but at or above the
action level at which time the employer will repeat monitoring for that employee at
the frequency specified in paragraph ( d)(6)(ii), except as otherwise provided in
paragraph ( d)(7) of 29 CFR 1910 .1025.
6.0 PEL Exceedances.
6 .1 Whenever the results indicate that the representative employee exposure , without regard to
respirators, exceeds the permissible exposure lim it , the employer will include in the written
notice a statement that the permissible exposure limit was exceeded and a description of
the corrective action taken or to be taken to reduce exposure to or below the permissible
exposure limit.
6 .2 Engineering and work practice controls.
6.2.1 Where any employee is exposed to lead above the permissible exposure limit for
more than 30 days per year, the employer will implement engineering and work
practice controls (includ ing administrative controls) to reduce and maintain employee
exposure to lead in accordance with the implementation schedule in Table I below,
except to the extent that the employer can demonstrate that such controls are not
feasible. Wherever the engineering and work practice controls which can be
instituted are not suffic ient to reduce employee exposure to or below the permissible
exposure limit, the employer will nonetheless use them to reduce exposures to the
lowest feasible level and will supplement them by the use of respiratory protection
which complies with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this section .

required to be removed by the mandatory provisions of this paragraph or by the
physician's determination , then until the employee's CdU level falls to or below 3
ug/g Cr, 8(2)-M level falls to or below 300 ug/g Cr and CdB level falls to or below
5 ug/lwb , the employer will: periodically reassess the employee's occupational
exposure to cadmium; provide biological monitoring in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.1027 paragraph (1)(2)(ii)(B) on a quarterly basis; and provide semiannual
medical examinations in accordance with paragraph (1)(4)(ii).

(10) Periodic medical surveillance
(a) For each employee who is covered under 29 CFR 1910.1027 paragraph
(1)(1 )(i)(A), the employer will provide at least the minimum level of periodic
medical surveillance , which consists of periodic medical examinations and
periodic biological monitoring. A periodic medical examination will be provided
within one year after the initial examination required by 29 CFR 1910.1027
paragraph (1)(2) and thereafter at least biennially . Biological sampling will be
provided at least annually , either as part of a periodic medical examination or
separately as periodic biological monitoring .
(b) The periodic medical examination will include :
1. A detailed medical and work history , or update thereof, with emphasis on:
past , present and anticipated future exposure to cadmium; smoking history
and current status ; reproductive history; current use of medications with
potential nephrotoxic side-effects ; any history of renal, cardiovascular,
respiratory , hematopoietic , and/or musculo-skeletal system dysfunction; and
as part of the medical and work history, for employees who wear respirators ,
questions 3-11 and 25-32 in 29 CFR 1910.1027 Appendix D;
2. A complete physical examination with emphasis on: blood pressure, the
respiratory system , and the urinary system;
3 . A 14 inch by 17 inch, or a reasonably standard sized posterior-anterior chest
X-ray (after the initial X-ray, the frequency of chest X-rays is to be
determined by the examining physician);
4. Pulmonary functi on tests, including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced
expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV(1 ));
5. Biological monitoring , as required in paragraph (1)(2)(ii)(B) of 29 CFR

(d) If the results of periodic biological monitoring or the results of biological
monitoring performed as part of the periodic medical examination show the level
of the employee's CdU, 8(2)-M, or CdB to be in excess of the levels specified in
paragraphs (1)(3)(ii) or (iii); or, beginning on January 11, 1999, in excess of the
levels specified in 29 CFR 1910.1027 paragraphs (1)(3)(ii) or (iv), the employer
will take the appropriate actions specified in paragraphs (1)(3)(ii)-(iv) 29 CFR
1910.1027.
(e) For previously exposed employees under paragraph (1)(1)(i)(B):
1. If the employee's levels of CdU did not exceed 3 ug/g Cr and CdB did not
exceed 5 ug/lwb, and 8(2)-M did not exceed 300 ug/g Cr in the initial
biological monitoring tests, and if the results of the followup biological
monitoring required by paragraph (1)(3)(i)(B) of 29 CFR 1910 .1027 one year
after the initial examination confirm the previous results, the employer may
discontinue all periodic medical surveillance for that employee.
2. If the initial biological monitoring results for CdU, CdB, or 8(2)-M were in
excess of the levels specified in 29 CFR 1910.1027 (1)(3)(i), but subsequent
biological monitoring results required by (1)(3)(ii)-(iv) show that the
employee's CdU levels no longer exceed 3 ug/g Cr, CdB levels no longer
exceed 5 ug/lwb, and 8(2)-M levels no longer exceed 300 ug/g Cr, the
employer will provide biological monitoring for CdU, CdB, and 8(2)-M one
year after these most recent biological monitoring results. If the results of the
followup biological monitoring, specified in this paragraph, confirm the
previous results, the employer may discontinue all periodic medical
surveillance for that employee .
3. However, if the results of the follow-up tests specified in 29 CFR 1910 .1027
(1)(4)(v)(A) or (B) indicate that the level of the employee's CdU, 8(2)-M, or
CdB exceeds these same levels, the employer is required to provide annual
medical examinations in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1)(4)(ii)
until the results of biological monitoring are consistently below these levels or
the examining physician determines in a written medical opinion that further
medical surveillance is not required to protect the employee's health .
(f) A routine, biennial medical examination is not required to be provided in
accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1027 paragraphs (1)(3)(i) and (I)( 4) if adequate
medical records show that the employee has been examined in accordance with
the requirements of paragraph (1)(4)(ii) within the past 12 months. In that case,
such records will be maintained by the employer as part of the employee's
medical record, and the next routine , periodic medical examination will be made
available to the employee within two years of the previous examination .

(11) Actions triggered by medical examinations
(a) If the results of a medical examination carried out in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.1027 indicate any laboratory or clinical finding consistent with cadmium
toxicity that does not require employer action under 29 CFR 1910.1027
paragraphs (1)(2), (3) or (4), the employer, within 30 days , will reassess the
employee's occupational exposure to cadmium and take the following corrective
action until the physician determines they are no longer necessary:
1. Periodically reassess: the employee's work practices and personal hygiene;
the employee's respirator use , if any; the employee's smok ing history and
status ; the respiratory protection program; the hygiene facilities; and the
maintenance and effectiveness of the relevant engineering controls;
2. Within 30 days after the reassessment, take all reasonable steps to correct
the deficiencies found in the reassessment that may be responsible for the
employee's excess exposure to cadmium;
4 . Provide semiannual medical reexaminations to evaluate the abnormal
clinical sign(s) of cadmium toxicity until the results are normal or the
employee is medically removed; and
5. Where the results of tests for total proteins in urine are abnormal, provide a
more detailed medical evaluation of the toxic effects of cadmium on the
employee's renal system.
(12) Examination for respirator use
(a) To determine an employee's fitness for respirator use , the employer will provide a
medical examination that includes the elements spec ified in 29 CFR 1910.1027
(1)(6)(A)-(D). This examination will be provided prior to the employee's being
assigned to a job that requires the use of a respirator or no later than 90 days
after 29 CFR 1910.1027 goes into effect, whichever date is later, to any
employee without a medical examination within the preceding 12 months that
satisfies the requirements of this paragraph.
1. Detailed medical and work history , or update thereof, with emphasis on: past
exposure to cadmium ; smoking history and current status; any history of
renal , cardiovascular , respiratory , hematopoietic , and/or musculo-skeletal
system dysfunction ; a description of the job for which the respirator is
required; and questions 3-11 and 25-32 in 29 CFR 1910.1027 Appendix D;
2. A blood pressure test ;
3. Biological monitoring of the employee's levels of CdU, CdB and 8(2)-M in
accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1027 paragraph

4. Any other test or procedure that the examining physician deems appropriate.
(b) After reviewing all the information obtained from the medical examination
required in paragraph (1)(6)(i) of 29 CFR 1910 .1027, the physician will determine
whether the employee is fit to wear a respirator.
(c) Whenever an employee has exhibited difficulty in breathing during a respirator fit
test or during use of a respirator, the employer, as soon as possible, will provide
the employee with a periodic medical examination in accordance with paragraph
29 CFR 1910.1027 (I)( 4 )(ii) to determine the employee's fitness to wear a
respirator.
(d) Where the results of the examination required under paragraph (1)(6)(i), (ii), or (iii)
of 29 CFR 1910.1027 are abnormal, medical limitation or prohibition of respirator
use will be considered. If the employee is allowed to wear a respirator, the
employee's ability to continue to do so will be periodically evaluated by a
physician.
(13) Emergency examinations
(a) In addition to the medical surveillance required in paragraphs (1)(2)-(6) of 29 CFR
1910.1027, the employer will provide a medical examination as soon as possible
to any employee who may have been acutely exposed to cadmium because of
an emergency.
(b) The examination will include the requirements of paragraph (1)(4)(ii), with
emphasis on the respiratory system, other organ systems considered appropriate
by the examining physician, and symptoms of acute overexposure, as identified
in Appendix A of 29 CFR 1910.1027 in paragraphs 11(8)(1 )-(2) and IV.
(14) Termination of employment examination
(a) At termination of employment, the employer will provide a medical examination in
accordance with paragraph (1)(4)(ii) of 29 CFR 1910.1027, including a chest X-
ray, to any employee to whom at any prior time the employer was required to
provide medical surveillance under paragraphs (1)(1 )(i) or (1)(7) of 29 CFR
1910.1027. However, if the last examination satisfied the requirements of
paragraph (1)(4)(ii) of 29 CFR 1910.1027 and was less than six months prior to
the date of termination , no further examination is required unless otherwise
specified in paragraphs (1)(3) or (1)(5);
(b) However, for employees covered by 29 CFR 1910 .1027 paragraph (1)(1)(i)(B), if
the employer has discontinued all periodic medical surveillance under (1)(4)(v), no
termination of employment medical examination is required.

(17) Medical Removal Protection (MRP)
(a) The employer will temporarily remove an employee from work where there is
excess exposure to cadmium on each occasion that medical removal is required
under paragraphs (1)(3), (1)(4), or (1)(6) of 29 CFR 1910 .1027 and on each
occasion that a physician determines in a written medical opinion that the
employee should be removed from such exposure. The physician's determination
may be based on biological monitoring results, inability to wear a respirator,
evidence of illness, other signs or symptoms of cadmium-related dysfunction or
disease , or any other reason deemed ·medically sufficient by the physic ian.
(b) The employer will medically remove an employee in accordance with paragraph
(I)( 11) of 29 CFR 1910 .1027 regard less of whether at the time of removal a job is
available into which the removed employee may be transferred.
(c) Whenever an employee is medically removed under paragraph (1)(11) of 29 CFR
1910 .1027 , the employer will transfer the removed employee to a job where the
exposure to cadmium is within the permissible levels specified in that paragraph
as soon as one becomes available.
(d) For any employee who is medically removed under the provisions of paragraph
(1)(11 )(i) of 29 CFR 1910.1027, the employer will provide follow-up biological
monitoring in accordance with (1)(2)(ii)(B) at least every three months and follow-
up medical examinations semi-annually at least every six months until in a written
medical opinion the examining physician determines that either the employee
may be returned to his/her former job status as specified under (1)(11 )(iv)-(v) or
the employee must be permanently removed from excess cadmium exposure.
(e) The employer may not return an employee who has been medically removed for
any reason to his/her former job status until a physician determines in a written
medical opinion that continued medical removal is no longer necessary to protect
the employee's health .
(f) Where an employee is found unfit to wear a respirator under 29 CFR 1910.1027
paragraph (1)(6)(ii), the employer will remove the employee from work where
exposure to cadmium is above the PEL.
(g) Where removal is based on any reason other than the employee's inability to
wear a respirator , the employer will remove the employee from work where
exposure to cadmium is at or above the action level.
(h) Except as specified in 29 CFR 1910 .1027 paragraph (1)(11 )(v), no employee who
was removed because his/her level of CdU , CdB and/or 8(2)-M exceeded the
medical removal trigger levels in paragraphs (1)(3) or (1)(4) may be returned to
work with exposure to cadmium at or above the action level until the employee's
levels of CdU fall to or below 3 ug/g Cr, CdB falls to or below 5 ug/lwb , and 8(2)-
M falls to or below 300 ug/g Cr.

(i) However, when in the examining physician's opinion continued exposure to
cadmium will not pose an increased risk to the employee's health and there are
special circumstances that make continued medical removal an inappropriate
remedy, the physician will fully discuss these matters with the employee , and
then in a written determination may return a worker to his/her former job status
despite what would otherwise be unacceptably high biological monitoring results.
Thereafter, the returned employee will continue to be provided with medical
surveillance as if he/she were still on medical removal until the 'employee's levels
of CdU fall to or below 3 ug/g Cr, CdB falls to or below 5 ug/lwb, and 8(2)-M falls
to or below 300 ug/g Cr.
(j) Where an employer, although not required by (1)(11 )(i) thru (iii) of 29 CFR
1910.1027 to do so , removes an employee from exposure to cadmium or
otherwise places limitations on an employee due to the effects of cadmium
exposure on the employee's medical condition, the employer will provide the
same medical removal protection benefits to that employee under paragraph
(1)(12) as would have been provided had the removal been required under
paragraph (1)(11 )(i) thru (iii) of 29 CFR 1910.1027.
(18) Medical Removal Protection Benefits (MRPB)
(a) The employer will provide MRPB for up to a maximum of 18 months to an
employee each time and while the employee is temporarily medically removed
under paragraph (1)(11) of 29 CFR 1910 .1027.
(b) For purposes of 29 CFR 1910.1027, the requirement that the employer provide
MRPB means that the employer will maintain the total normal earnings, seniority,
and all other employee rights and benefits of the removed employee, including
the employee's right to his/her former job status , as if the employee had not been
removed from the employee's job or otherwise medically limited.
(c) Where, after 18 months on medical removal because of elevated biological
monitoring results, the employee's monitoring results have not declined to a low
enough level to permit the employee to be returned to his/her former job status:
1. The employer will make available to the employee a medical examination
pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.1027 in order to obtain a final medical
determination as to whether the employee may be returned to his/her former
job status or must be permanently removed from excess cadmium exposure ;
and
2. The employer will assure that the final medical determination indicates
whether the employee may be returned to his/her former job status and what
steps , if any, should be taken to protect the employee's health .
(d) The employer may condition the provision of MRPB upon the employee's
participation in medical surveillance provided in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.1027.

1.0 PURPOSE
To provide guidelines concerning the safe handling and use of compressed gas cylinders.
Compressed gases are unique in that they represent both a physical and potential chemical
hazard (depending on the particular gas). The gases contained in these cylinders vary in
chemical properties , ranging from inert and harmless to toxic and explosive. The high
pressures of the gases constitutes a serious hazard in the event that the cylinders sustain
physical damage and/or are exposed to high temperatures .
2.0 DEFINITIONS
Compressed Gas: A gas or mixture of gases having an absolute pressure exceeding 40
psi at 70 degrees F (21 .1 degrees C); or, a gas or mixture of gases having an absolute
pressure exceeding 104 psi at 130 degrees F (54.4 degrees C) regardless of the pressure
at 70 degrees F ; or, a liquid having a vapor pressure exceeding 40 psi at 100 degrees F
(37.8 degrees C) as determined by ASTM D-323-72.
Flammable Gas: A gas that, at ambient temperature and pressure , forms a flammable
mixture with air at a concentration of 13 percent by volume or less; or, a gas that , at
ambient temperature and pressure , forms a range of flammable mixtures with air wider than
12 percent by volume , regardless of the lower limit; or, one for which the United States
Department of Transportat ion (DOT) requires their red flammable gas label.
Toxic Gas: A gas that has a median lethal concentration in air of 2,000 parts per million or
less by volume of gas ; or, a gas which the DOT requires the white poison label.
3.0 PROCEDURE
3.1 Identification
3 .1.1 All compressed gases received , used or stored must be labeled accord ing to
the United States Department of Transportation regulations . In addition, each
cylinder must be marked by a label or tag with the name of its contents . The
primary identifier of cylinder contents is the label. Color should not be used to
identify contents. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be obtained and
maintained for all compressed gases.
3.1.2 Empty cylinders must be marked EMPTY and stored apart from full cylinders
while waiting to be removed.

4.0 RESPONSIBILITY
4 .1 .1 Compressed gas cylinders should be handled only by experienced and properly
instructed personnel.
4.1 .2 The user responsible for the cylinder and for its installation should check the identity
of the gas before use. If the cylinder content is not identified , if hydrostatic test date
is past due, or if the cylinder is in any way damaged, the cylinder should be returned
to the supplier.
5.0 GENERAL HANDLING PROCEDURES
5.1.1 Cylinders must be transported , stored and used upright (with the valve up), and must
be securely fastened to prevent them from falling or being knocked over. Suitable
racks , straps , chains or stands are required to support cylinders.
5.1.2 Cylinder valves are to be protected with the standard cap when not in use ( empty or
full). Regulators are to be protected with covers where there is likelihood of
damage .
5.1.3 Cylinders should not be exposed to excessive dampness , or to corrosive chemicals
or fumes .
5.1.4 Cylinders are not to be exposed to temperature extremes nor stored in the vicinity of
combustibles.
5.1.5 Gases are not to be transferred from one vessel to another ( except dry ice and
cryogenic material). Do not try to refill compressed gas cylinders.
5.1.6 No repair or alterations are to be made to cylinders or accessories without approval.
6.0 SPECIFIC HANDLING PROCEDURES
6.1.1 Before using a cylinder , slowly "crack" the valve to clear dust or dirt , being sure the
opening is not pointed toward anyone . Suitable precautions should be taken when
toxic or flammable gases are involved. Do not stand in front of the regulator gauge
glass when opening the valve .
6.1.2 Never use a cylinder without a regulator. Always use the correct pressure regulator .
6 .1.3 After attaching the regulator , and before the cylinder is opened, check the adjusting
screw of the regulator to see that it is released. Never permit the gas to enter the
regulator suddenly.

8 .1.6 All gas cylinders should be capped and secured when stored .
8.1. 7 Do not store gas cylinders with pressure on the regulator.
9.0 EMERGENCIES AND SPECIAL PROCEDURES
9.1 .1 In the event of a leak or suspected leak of a toxic or flammable gas, evacuate the
building or area. Activate the fire alarm by pulling the nearest fire alarm box. In
those satellite facilities where no pull boxes exist, the building's public address
system should be used. In smaller facilities having less than 10 employees , voice
communication may be used where there is no other alternative.
9 .1.2 Facilities should notify their respective fire department emergency numbers.
9.1.3 Use soapy water to detect leaks. Connections employing flammable or toxic gases
are to be leak tested with Leaktec or equivalent.
9 .1.4 Acetylene should not be utilized in lines or hoses at a pressure exceeding 15 psi.
9.1.5 Safety plugs in the valves of chlorine cylinders fuse at 157 degrees F. Care must
be exercised to see that they are not exposed to steam, hot water, etc., which could
produce this temperature. Chlorine leaks may be located using a cloth wet with
aqua-ammonia which will produce white fumes (ammonia chloride) in the presence
of chlorine.
NOTE: This procedure may only be performed with appropriate respiratory protection. In
order for any individual to wear a respirator, he/she must have written physician's
approval , attend a respiratory protection training session, and pass a respirator fit
test. Training and fit testing are provided by the Training and/or Health and Safety
Departments.
9.1.6 Oil , grease or other flammable material is not to be permitted to come in contact
with the valves, regulators, gauges or any fittings of an oxygen cylinder. Oil and
grease in the presence of oxygen under pressure may ignite violently. Do not
handle cylinders with oily hands or gloves. Never use oxygen as a substitute for
compressed air.
9 .1. 7 "No Smoking" signs should be placed near flammable gas cylinders. Fire-
suppression equipment using carbon dioxide or dry chemicals should be available .
Spark-proof tools should be used when working with flammable gas cylinders.

1.0 GENERAL
1.1 Scope
All Eagle employees are required to comply with this program.
A. Exposure Potential
Due to the extent and nature of Eagle Construction and Environmental Services , LP.
work , all employees in the field have an exposure potential. During emergency
responses and remediation activities, chemicals that come together can sometimes
combine to give off hydrogen sulfide as a byproduct. During all operations in the field,
we must stay alert to all chemical exposure and the possibility of hydrogen sulfide
being given off as a byproduct.
B. Characteristics of Hydrogen Sulfide
1. NFPA ratings for hydrogen sulfide are:
a) Health hazard = 4 (Extremely toxic)
b) Fire hazard = 4 (Flash point below 72°F)
2 . Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas.
3. Odor is the smell of rotten eggs (sulfur type smell). Caution must be used as it will
kill your sense of smell quickly.
4. Harmful if inhaled and causes:
a) Respiratory tract irritation
b) Skin irritation
c) Eye irritation
d) Blood damage
5. Extremely flammable
C. Potential Health Effects
1. Nausea
2 . Irritation
