1.0 INTRODUCTION
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) has prepared this Health and Safety Plan (HSP) for
the remedial actions at the Ejelson Air Force Base (AFB), Alaska, at the Source Area ST18
(STI8) in Operable Unit 2 (0U2). The format of this HSP complies with the format
designated by the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE).I
This HSP has been written for use by Jacobs and any other individuals with authorized access
to areas where site control is established to conduct fieldwork. It may also be used as a
guidance document by properly trained and experienced personnel. However, Jacobs does not
1. ~~guarantee the health and safety of any person entering this site. Because of the nature of this
- site and the activity occurring thereon, it is not possible to discover, evaluate, and provide
protection for all possible hazards that may be encountered; however, a summary of suspected
-hazards is listed in Section 4.0. Strict adherence to the health and safety guidelines stated in
E ~~~this HSP will reduce, but not eliminate, the potential for injury on the site. The health and
I ~~~safety guidelines in this plan were prepared specifically for this site and should not be used onany other site without prior research by trained health and safety professionals.
This HSP will be kept onsite during field activities and will be reviewed and updated as
F' ~~necessary to reflect current site conditions and operations. This HSP requires that the
Program Health and Safety Manager (PHSM), project Health and Safety Manager (HSM), and
f ~~~site Health and Safety Officer(s) (HSO) shall be familiar with the following:
*applicable federal, state, and local regulations;
standard operating procedures (SOPs) contained in the Jacobs Corporate Health andSafety Manual for Environmental Field Programs (known as the EH&S Manual) (Jacobs
I ~~~~undated a) and Jacobs Corporate Safety Manual (Jacobs undated b). These manuals willbe available at the site office;
*requirements found in the AFCEE Handbook for the Installation Restoration Program(IRP) Remedial Investigations and Feasibility Studies (RI/ES) (U.S. Air Force [Air Force]1993);
I * ~~requirements found in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) Safety and HealthRequirements Manual (COE 1992); and
I:\EIELSON\05K78201\WIP\IELHSP2.DOCCDRAFT REVO010/29/96 5:23 PM
*procedures contained in the work plan(s) for this project and Quality Program Plan (QPP)documents for the project.
In addition to this HSP, each subcontractor is expected to have a health and safety program
covering its specific operational activities, for example, concrete cutting, excavating, or
drilling. In any case where overlaps or conflicts occur between requirements in this HSP and
a subcontractor's health and safety procedures, the requirement that protects the employee's
health and safety to the greatest degree will take precedence.
The overall purpose of this HSP is to create a site health and safety program that effectively
identifies, evaluates, controls, and reduces health and safety hazards.
This HSP is written for the site conditions, purposes, dates, and personnel specified and must
be amended if these conditions change. Jacobs claims no responsibility for use of this plan by
others.
1.1 EIELSON AFB DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
The following sections describe the site and its history.
1.1.1 Site History
Eielson AFB (Eielson) is located in the Tanana River Valley in interior Alaska, 23 miles
southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, and approximately 130 miles south of the Arctic Circle.
Eielson lies on 22,035 acres with an additional 40,052 acres in off-base right-of-ways and
operating areas. Construction of Eielson began in 1943 and was completed in 1944.
Industrial operations started in the early I 950s and were insignificant prior to that date. The
major industrial operations included propulsion shops, aerospace ground equipment and
vehicle maintenance shops, pneudraulics shops, and inspection labs. The waste generated was
oils, fuels, solvents, and cleaners at varying quantities ranging from 25,000 to 40,000 gallons
per year. The location map of Eielson is shown in Figure 1- 1.

includes additional hours of training specifically for hazardous waste operations supervisors.
3.4 EMPLOYEE MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE
The HSO or Site Manager shall authorize individuals access to areas where site control is
established (to conduct fieldwork in accordance with this HSP) only if current certification of
medical fitness, training, and respirator fit are in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120. Copies
I \EIELS0NAOSK7820i\VW1iELHSP2.D0C 3-2DRAFT REVO010/29/96 5:23 PM
of certifications shall be on file. (Refer to the Jacobs EH&S Manual [Jacobs undated a],
Sections 3.0 and 5.0.)
Employees of any subcontractors will provide documentation of their participation in a
il ~~medical surveillance program before fieldwork begins. Documentation will be maintained in
the project files.
3.4.1 Baseline or Preassignment Monitoring
Before being assigned to a hazardous or potentially hazardous activity involving exposure to
L ~~toxic materials, each employee must receive a preassignmnent or baseline physical
examination. The content of the examination is to be determined by the employers' medical
consultant. As suggested by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Site Activities
(DHHS et al. 1985), the minimum medical monitoring requirements for work at Bielson AFB
are as follows:
*complete medical and work histories;n * ~~~physical examination;
*pulmonary function test, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume;
*chest X ray;
*electrocardiogram;
L * ~~~eye examination and visual acuity;
*audiometry;B *l urinalysis; and
f * ~~~blood chemistry, including hematology and serum analyses.
At present, no additional testing for specific contaminant health effects is required. The
preassignmnent physical examination will categorize employees as fit for duty and able to wear
respiratory protection.
L ~~~I:EIELSON\05K78201\Wn'hEIELHSP2.DOC 3-3DRAFT REVO010/29/96 5:23 PM
3.4.2 Annual Monitoring
In addition to the baseline physical examination, all employees are required to obtain an
annual physical exam, unless the advising physician believes a shorter interval is appropriate.
The employers' medical consultant will prescribe an adequate physical examination that meets
the OSHA requirements in 29 CFR 1910.120. The preassigrnment medical monitoring criteria
outlined previously may be applicable.
All personnel working in contaminated or potentially contaminated areas at Eielson AFB will
verify that their medical monitoring is current (within 12 months). Jacobs' subcontractors will
keep documentation onsite specifying that all employees are fit for duty. Each certificate will
be signed by an attending physician.
3.4.3 Exit Physical
Enrollment in the medical monitoring program will end when the employee terminates the
program or the company. At that time, an exit examination for the employee is required.
Each employee will undergo an exit physical examination unless written documentation
waiving this requirement is provided.
3.4.4 Exposure, Injury, or Medical Support
As follow-up to an injury or a possible exposure above an established exposure limit, all
employees are entitled and encouraged to seek medical attention and physical testing.
Depending on the type of exposure, it is critical to perform follow-up testing within 24 to 48
hours. It will be up to the employers' medical consultant to advise what type of test or tests
are required to accurately monitor for exposure effects.

4.0 HAZARD EVALUATION
The following sections describe the types of hazards expected on this project and the methods
that will be used to control those hazards. Table 4-1 summarizes the project tasks, hazards,
and controls. All tasks will be conducted in compliance with the Jacobs Code of Safe
Practices (Appendix E).
L
4.1 CONTAMINANT SOURCE AREA DESCRIPTION
For this work effort, areas of potential contamination include the cesspools and drywells.
4.2 CHEMICAL HAZARDS AND CONTROL
I ~~~The suspected contaminants onsite are listed in Table 4-2. The physical, chemical, and health
effects of hazardous chemical substances are itemized in Table 4-3. Generic chemical hazard
profiles are provided in Appendix B for those chemicals that are typically used for
decontamination. These profiles are organized by groups (e.g., corrosives and petroleum-
based hydrocarbons).
L ~~~More detailed information specific to each chemical is provided in Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDSs) in Appendix F. Refer also to the Jacobs EH&S Manual, SOPs 7.0 through
7.9 (Jacobs undated a).
Nok~: Anyone bringing chemicals to this site is required to provide an MSDS to the
HSO or Site Manager.
4.3 PHYSICAL HAZARD EVALUATION
Potential safety hazards specific to this site are shown in Table 4-4. Refer to Appendix C for
Ii ~~more detailed information concerning safety hazards and controls.
I:\EIELASONK78201\WIA\EILHSP2.DOC 4-1DRAFT REVO010/29/96 5:23 PM.
4.4 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS AND CONTROLS
The wildlife of northwest Alaska presents a potential haza rd to project personnel. All
personnel must be aware of the potential hazard and avoid potentially dangerous encounters
with wildlife. The wildlife most likely to present a danger to project personnel are bears
(black and brown bears), moose, and insects.
iluz. Bears present a potential hazard at, and near, Eielson AFB. Black and brown bears are
found within the surrounding area in low densities. Black and brown bears are also high-
order carnivores, but will typically avoid human contact unless provoked, surprised, or if
humans approach cubs. Bears are attracted to areas of human habitation by the presence of
foodstuffs in garbage and may become unafraid of human contact. Field personnel will avoid
contact with bears. If a black or brown bear is sighted, efforts will be made to avoid
provoking or surprising the bear. No field team member will approach a bear or its cub for
any reason.
Moose. Moose are common to the area. Whbile they generally shy away from contact with
humans, moose can be extremely dangerous when threatened. Due to their large size, moose
can seriously injure humans by trampling or stomping a person. Contact with moose is to be
avoided during activities in the field.
Insecs. Biting insects are a serious health hazard in northwest Alaska during the summer
months. The wet coastal areas surrounding the station are breeding grounds for extremely
high populations of mosquitoes and biting flies. Each team member will be issued a head net
to keep insects away from the face and head. Long pants, long-sleeved shints, and gloves are
also effective in preventing insect bites. As with sunscreen, the use of insect repellent
chemicals is essential to the health and safety of field personnel; however, care must be used
to prevent contamination of samples with repellent/propellant chemicals. The chemical
content of all insect repellents used must be presented to the HSO for recording.
1:\EIELSON\OSK78201W~hIFEMLRSP2.DOC 4-2DR~AFT REV 010/29/96 5:23 PM
1 ~4.5 HEAT AND COLD STRESS
The Jacobs EH&S Manual, SOPs 7.1 and 7.2, outline exposure control methods for working
in extreme temperatures. The guidance contained in these SOPs is summarized in Appendix
I ~~C. SOPs 7.1 and 7.2 should be consulted for details. Table 4-5 summarizes symptoms and
treatment procedures for heat and cold stress.
4.6 CONFINED SPACE HAZARD
The fieldwork (trenching) to be conducted may include confined space entry. At this time, no
one is authorized to enter excavations greater than 4 feet deep. If entry is necessary, then
compliance with the Jacobs SOP 8.6 is required, and the HSO should notify the HSM.
4.7 ERGONOMIC HAZARDS
t ~~Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) occur most frequently as a result of strain from
performing the same task on a continuous basis. The primary risk factors for CTI~s are as
£ ~~~follows:
* repetitive motion;
* excessive force; and
* awkward position.
I ~~~Other risk factors include the following:
I ~~~* working with vibrating tools;
a working in a cold environment; and
t ~~~* being in poor physical condition.
Take the following actions to prevent CTI~s at this worksite:
e Find ways to reduce repetitive motion.
* Find ways to reduce excessive force.
I.\EIELMSON0K78201\WTA'EIELSI'2.DOC 4-3DRAFT REV 0I ~~~~~10(29196 5:23 PM
* Neutralize awkward postures that may cause strain and tension by placing the body in a
more natural position.
* Consider using power tools instead of hand tools.
* Choose tools with soft-cover grips.
* Select tools with handles designed to keep your wrist in a neutral position.
* Wear gloves that fit correctly. Gloves that are too large or thick may cause you to use
excessive force. Gloves that are too tight may restrict circulation.
Any employee exhibiting symptoms of CTDs, including a prickling or tingling sensation in
the fingers or pain, loss of sensation, or weakness in a part of the body, should contact the
HSM promptly.
4.8 POTENTIAL INFECTIOUS WASTES OR SEWAGE
The following information concerning potential infectious wastes and sewage was obtained
from National Learning Corporation Passbook for Sewage Plant Operator, and Effluent
Contaminants and the Receiving Streams, Daniel W. Smith.
Potential sources of infectious wastes or sewage exist in the removal of the cesspools at STl1 8.
Sewage consists of water plus solids that are dissolved or carried in suspension water. The
solids in sewage may be divided into two general groups depending on their composition or
their physical condition.
Qrganbc solids. These are generally of animal or vegetable origins including the waste
products of animal and vegetable life, dead animal matter, and plant tissue or organisms, but
may contain synthetic organic compounds. They are substances that contain carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen, some of which may be combined with nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus.
They are subject to decay or decomposition through the activity of bacteria and other living
organisms.
1:\EIELSON\05K1820I\WA'hEEELHSI'2.DOC 4-4DRAFT REV 010/29/96 5:23 PM
Insorgank..salids. These are those substances that are inert and not subject to decay. Inorganic
solids are frequently designated as mineral substances and include sand, gravel, silt, and the
mineral salts in a water supply.
Dissolvedgases. Dissolved gases in sewage can vary in concentration level. Some of these
gases include dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and certain
inorganic sulfur compounds. These gases, although small in amount, still pose a hazard to
employees in the removal of the cesspools. Appropriate direct reading instruments will be
L ~~~used to detect the presence of these gases so appropriate measures can be taken.
Biological composition of sewage. Sewage also contains countless numbers of livingorganisms, most of them too small in size to be visible. These small living organisms may be
considered one of two types: bacteria and other more complex living organisms.
L ~~~Bacteria are living organisms that consist of a single cell and require food, oxygen, and water
f ~~~to survive. Parasitic bacteria need a host to survive and generally do not develop outside the
body of the host. Saprophytic bacteria feed on dead organic matter, thus decomposing
organic solids provide their needed nourishment. There are many species of this bacteria,
each of which plays a specific role in the breakdown of the organic solids of sewage. Each
species tends to die away following completion of its role in the decomposition process.
Other living organisms could include worms or insects in various forms of development.
These organisms generally do not pose any hazard to employees.
Viruses are an additional form of life found in sew age that is of interest to employees. Some,
such as the Hepatitis virus, originate in the intestines of humans and are carried with intestinal
wastes to the sewage. Each employee involved in the removal action of the cesspools will be
afforded the opportunity to obtain a vaccination against this virus.
Certain chemical changes in sewage composition occur through the decomposition process.
During the decomposition process, intermediate products are formed and could include
IAFMESON\05K78201\WP\EIELHSP2.DOC 4-5DRAFT REVO010/29/96 5:23 PM
inorganic acids, gases such as hydrogen sulfide, methane, carbon dioxide, and in many
instances, very foul smelling gases resulting from the chemical changes in organic sulfur
compounds. These intermediate products could be present in the leach fields or beneath the
cesspools, therefore entry into any excavation is prohibited.

6.0 SITE SAFETY WORK PLAN
This section describes basic safe-work practices for activities at this site.
6.1 SITE WORK ACTIVITIES
Site Work Activities are described in Section 1.3, Description of Field Activities, of this HISP.
P 6.1.1 Site Clearing and Preparation
p ~~~Jacobs will ensure that all necessary permits are obtained before conducting any site work.
Initial site preparation includes establishing work zones as specified in Section 6.4, Work
Zones.
r, ~~Before beginning site work, materials that present tripping hazards will be removed or
flagged. Ignition sources will be identified and eliminated.
Before beginning any excavation, Jacobs will review station as-built plans with the AFCEE
p ~~~representative and a technical representative of the Eielson AFB maintenance section toL ~~~identify potential utility line locations. All identified utility line and subsurface pipe locations
P ~~~will be clearly marked before beginning fieldwork.
P ~~6.1.2 Warning Signs and Barricades
The Site Manager and HSO are responsible for limiting access to the work location(s) by
h ~~~posting appropriate warning signs or caution tape. Caution tape or barricades will be used so
that site egress is not restricted, and site access for emergency vehicles is not limited.
6.1.3 Material Storage and Handling
The following measures will be taken to prevent injuries and property damage from material
j ~~~storage and handling:
I I~~~:\EIELON\05K1820l\WpME1E1JSP2.DOC 6-1DRAFT REV010/29t96 5:23 PM
* Organize site operations to minimize the amount of equipment, drum, or containermovement.
* Do not lift or lower materials from higher than shoulder level. Use ladders to reach highplaces.
* Implement safe lifting practices, including keeping the load positioned close to the body,using the legs to lift and lower, avoiding twisting at the waist, and using material handlingequipment whenever available.
* Store materials in a safe and secure position.
6.1.4 Hazardous Waste Storage and Handling
All personnel will be responsible for complying with the following work practices:
• All personnel will position themselves upwind of hazardous waste handling locations.
* Use -only drums and containers during the project that meet the appropriate U.S.Department of Transportation (DOT), OSHA, and EPA regulations for the wastes thatthey contain.

Generic Chemical Hazard Profiles
The following information is intended to be generic to provide a brief overview. Detailed
information relevant to hazards associated with specific chemical substances ofpotential concern at this site are provided in Appendix G of this HSP.
Calibration Gases
Common pressurized gases used to calibrate air monitoring instrumentation includeheptane. hexane, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, and pentane. Under ambient
conditions, these gases are flammable. The cylinders are pressurized; they can
become mini-torpedoes if the valve stem is severed from the cylinder. Handle themcarefully.
The primary routes of entry into the body are inhalation and skin absorption, so these
substances should be handled in a well ventilated area. Symptoms of exposure includelightheadiedness. nausea. headache, numb extremities, dermatitis, loss of appetite.chemical pneumonia. and giddiness. Exposure to elevated levels of such gases candamage the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and can cause death.
Corrosives
Corrosives include acids, bases/caustics, and inorganic halogen salts. Some of themore common acids include acetic, citric, hydrochloric. hydroftuoric, nitric, perchloric.phosphoric, picric, and sulfuric acids. Some of the more common caustics include
ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and sodium
hypochlorite. Inorganic halogen salts are compounds containing halogens (chlorine.bromine, fluorine) such as sodium chloride, potassium bromate, and sodium fluoride,which are corrosive to metals and finishes, but are relatively insignificant health threats.
For the most part, corrosives are nonflammable, although the liquid forms are
moderately to highly volatile. Perchloric acid (perchlorates) and picric acid when drycan be explosive.
The primary routes of entry into the body are via inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact.
Symptoms of exposure include tissue burns, nose and throat inflammation, and
pulmonary edema. Corrosives can cause extensive damage to the respiratory system.skin, and eyes.
Landfill Gases
Landfills in the past were often uncontrolled: almost any and every type of wastematerial could have been deposited at such sites. When organic and inorganic matterdegrades and decomposes. gases are generated. typically including, though not limitedto ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon disulfide. hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride.hydrogen cyanide. hydrogen sulfide, methane, vinyl chloride, vinyl fluoride, andvinylidline chloride. T hese gases are flammable and extremely volatile. Some, such ashydrogen sulfide. are heavier than air and settle in low-lying places.
AFC..JO45K69M, M 1
The primary routes of entry into the body are via inhalation and skin absorp'tion:Symptoms of exposure include lightheadtedness, giddiness, nausea. headache, numbextremities, dermatitis, loss of appetite. chemical pneumonia, and tremors. Exposure toelevated levels of these gases can damage the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, andcan lead to death.
Metals
Metals commonly associated with batteries, paints, plating operations, and petroleum-based products include lead, arsenic, cadmium (a probable human carcinogen),chromium (a probable human carcinogen), copper, nickel, silver, tin, and zinccompounds. Petroleum-based products such as lubricants, and especially leadedgasolines, contain organic lead compounds such as tetraethyl and tetramethyl lead, aswell as assorted inorganic metals mentioned above and others such as antimony,barium, beryllium, cobalt, magnesium, manganese, and vanadium. Explosive powdersused in ordnances contain aluminum as well.
Metals pose a health hazard in their solid form, especially as airborne dusts. Theprimary routes of entry into the body are via inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. 'Organic compounds such as tributyttin may penetrate the skin without producingappreciable local injury. Symptoms of exposure include eye, skin, and upperrespiratory system irritation; headaches; insomnia; metallic taste in the mouth;lassitude; pallor; anorexia; constipation: abdominal pain: anemia; and tremors. Heavymetals can cause damage to the central nervous system, kidneys, respiratory system,and liver. Cancers of the lungs and bones are associated with metal intoxication.
Petroleumn-B1aued Hydrocarbons
Lubricants, oils, fuels, and gasoline contain petroleum-based hydrocarbons such asbenzene and its derivatives, naphthas, toluene, xylenes, and coal tar pitch volatiles.Coal tar pitch volatiles are also known as polycyclic hydrocarbons (PCHs) orpolynuclear aromatics (PNAs). Benzene and PNAs are known carcinogens. Petroleum-based hydrocarbon materials also generally contain metal contaminants; refer to themetals profile. Lubricants and waste oils are slightly to highly volatile and flammable.Fuels and gasoline are extremely volatile and flammable.
The primary routes of entry into the body are via ingestion and skin contact or dermalabsorption. Inhalation of the more volatile constituents, such as toluene, xylenes,naphthas, and benzene (a known human carcinogen) and its derivatives, can be toxic.Acute symptoms of exposure include eye, skin, and upper respiratory system irritation,giddiness, confusion, headache, nausea, staggered gait, and fatigue. High level andchronic exposure can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and bone marrow, and cancause skin cancer and leukemia.

Solvents (Halogenated)
Halogenated solvents are hydrocarbon compounds that also have nalogen moleculessuch as chlorine, bromine, and fluorine. Generally, halogenated solvents aremoderately to highly volatile and are non-combustible, Data are available mostly forchlorinated solvents, so this profile will be slanted toward chlorinated solvents: however,the information mentioned below pertains to halogenated compounds in general. Thetoxicity of halogens typically ranks as follows: fiuorinated>brominated>chlorinated.
Some of the more common chlorinated solvent wastes include carbon tetrachloride*,chloroforrmr, methylene chlorclde*. methyl chloroform (1,1,1 -trichloroethane),tetrachloircethene, and trichiorethene (TCE). Substances followed by an asterisk(*are probable human carcinogens.
Primary routes of entry into the body are inhalation, dermal absorption. and ingestion.Symptoms of acute exposure include eye, skin, and upper respiratory irritation: flushedface and neck; vertigo, headache, lassitude, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting,disorientation, confusion, and poor equilibrium. High level or chronic exposures cancause damage to the skin, eyes, liver, kidneys, central nervous system, respiratorysystem. and heart.
Solvents (Nonhalogenated) and Paints
Some of the more common constituents of nonhalogenated solvents and paint wastesinclude acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), toluene, xylenes, alkyl acetates, acrylates,and alcohols. These substances are slightly to highly volatile and are moderately tohighly flammable.
Primary routes of entr into the body are via inhalation, ingestion, and dermalabsorption. Symptoms of exposure include irritation of the eyes, skin, or upperrespiratory system, headaches, drowsiness, dlermatitis, dizziness, confusion, giddiness,and euphoria. Higher levels of exposure can cause narcosis and damage to thekidneys and blood.

APPENDIX C
PHYSICAL (SAFETY) HAZARDS AND CONTROLS
Possible physical hazards associated xith field activities at the site may include any ofthe hazards discussed below. The controls specified shall be implemented during siteoperations. For additional information, refer to the Corporate Health and Safety Manualfor Environmental Field Programs (known as the EH&S) and the Corporate SafetyMVanual.
Excavation and Trenching Safety
.An excavation is a man-made depression or cavity in the earth. A trench is a man-made
excavation that is deeper than it is wide but is generally no wider than 15 feet.Excavations deeper than 4 feet are required to be shored, sloped, sheeted, braced, orotherwise supported.
Cave-ins develop very suddenly and without warning. Individuals can survive amaximum of three minutes without breathing, there is not much time to locate, dig out.and resuscitate a buried worker. Never get into an unprotected trench even if you believeit will be for only a few minutes. The action of your jumping into the trench may beenough to disturb the earth.
The following basic guidelines must be followed for work near or in an excavation:
* Locate underground utilities before doing any digging. Do not dig where it is knownthat utilities are located unless the owners have been notified and the utilities havebeen shut down, isolated, or marked to prevent their accidental disruption.
* [fthe excavation is deeper than 20 feet, shoring plans must be designed and approved
by a registered civil engineer before digging.
* Inspect the area for hazards caused by moving ground.
* Do not enter the excavation each day until it has been inspected by a competentperson.
* Inspect the excavation after every rainstorm, earthquake, or other hazard-increasingevent.
* Locate spoil pile at least 3) feet from the edge of the excavation.
H A-MAKNAK HSPLWtC-AkPEND DOC C-1
* inspect the face. banks. and top of the excavation daily when workers are exposed to
failing or rolling material.
* In trenches 4-feet deep or more. provide quick exit facilities (a ladder) every 25 feet
or provide at least two exits for shorter trenches.
* Install crossings with standard guard rails and toeboards if overhead travel is
necessary.
* Use additional bracing when vibration from vehicular traffic, heavy equipment. or
external loads are a hazard.
* Erect barriers around excavations in remote work locations. Cover all wells. pits.
shafts, and caissons. Backfill temporary wells, pits. and shafts when work is
completed.
*Do not excavate beneath the level of adjacent foundations, retaining walls, or other
structures until a qualified person has determined that the work will not be
hazardous. Support undermined sidewalks and utilities.
*Shore. brace, or underpin structures when their stability is threatened. Inspect the
structures daily.
*Guard shafts more than 4-feet square with a lagging system made from proportionally
larger materials as determined by a registered safety engineer.
Vapor explosions, especially in confined spaces, can be fatal. Workers must be aware of
this danger and guard against carelessness at all times. Because the vapors of petroleum
products and gases such as hydrogen sulfide are heavier than air, their explosivity and
flammability hazard is increased. Vapors tend to concentrate near the ground. in low-
lying areas, and are not readily mixed or diluted with ambient air. When monitoring the
lower explosive limit (LEL), take measurements at ground level as the excavation isentered.
To prevent explosion and fire hazards, each team member must make sure that no spark
sources, such as lighters, matches, unapproved flashlights, are brought into the exclusion
zone. The Site Health and Safety Coordinator (SHSC) or the Project Health and SafetyI
Manager (PHSM) must inspect the exclusion zone for spark sources including wiring,
motors. etc., and must enforce the requirements for fire prevention, including intrinsically
safe electrical equipment, spark arresters on vehicles, and exclusion of unauthorized
personnel. Continuous explosimeter and oxygen (02) monitoring must be performed
during drilling, digging, and excavation activities.

Fall Protection
Fall protection includes safety belts or harnesses. lanyards. and lifelines. The following
general provisions must be complied with:
* Employers shall provide employees with the necessary fall protection equipment and
with instructions and training for its use.
* At the time of hire and during safety meetings, each employee shall be made aware of
his/her obligation to use fail protection and associated equipment when the task
dictates. This policy will be strictly adhered to, and any employee not using safety
belts/harnesses and lanyards when required will be subject to immediate removal
from the project. Polic y statement to this effect shall be posted throughout the job
site.
* Fall protection shall be used only for employees' safeguarding. When any of these are
actually subject to in-service loading (as distinguished from static-load testing), they
shall be removed from service immediately and shall not be used again for employee
safeguarding.
* Fall protection equipment and associated hardware shall be inspected after each use
for wear and possible damage caused by use. Additionally, lifelines. safety
belts/harnesses, and lanyards and associated hardware kept in storage shall be
inspected periodically to ensure they have not been subject to damage, deterioration
caused by storage conditions, or other factors that may reduce their strength. An
inspection report shall be maintained on each fall protection equipment item to show
the date inspected, the condition of the equipment, the serial number for each safety
belt, the date the equipment was purchased, and the date the equipment was initially
put into service.
Safety Belts/Harnesses and Lanvards
The following are the requirements for using safety belts or harness and lanyards:
* Employees shall be secured by a safety belt/harness and lanyard if they are working at
heights of 6 feet or more above a surface and are not protected by fixed scaffolding,
guardrails, or safety nets.
* Special consideration should be given to the use of harnesses (in lieu of safety belts)
in conditions where a fail is likely and where extraction of a fallen worker could not
be immediate. Harnesses will provide better protection for the worker when a fall is
arrested and will allow additional "hang time' without the increased chance of
suffocation caused by waist (or body) belts.
H ,AMA",kKIiSPLAMC.APENDl DOC C-3
•Body belts should not be used as the primary fail protection in high-risk fall areas and
must not be used without a shock absorber. Body belts should only be used for
positioning and where fall hazards are minimal: they must never be used when
immediate rescue is a problem.
•Safety belt/harness and lanyards shall be a minimum of 1/2-inch nylon or equivalent.
with maximum length allowing a fall of no greater than 6 feet. The lanyard shall have
a breaking strength of 5.400 pounds. All lanyvards used with safety belts must be
equipped with shock absorbers.
•All safety belts/harnesses and lanyard hardware shall be drop-forged or pressed steel.
cadmium plated. Surfaces shall be smooth and free of sharp edges.
•All safety belt and lanyard hardware, except rivets, shall be capable of withstanding a
tensile loading of 4.000 pounds without cracking, breaking, or becoming permanently
deformed.
L~ifelines
The following are the requirements for using lifelines:
* Lifelines shall be secured above the point of operation to an anchorage or structure
capable of supporting a minimum dead weight of 5,400 pounds.
* Lifelines used in areas where the lifeline may be subjected to cutting or abrasion shall
be a minimum of 7/8-inch wire-core manila rope. For all other lifeline applications, a
minimum of 3/4-inch manila rope or equivalent, with a minimum breaking strength of
5,400 pounds shall be used.
Hleat and Cold Stress
Heat and cold stress can be a hazanrd encountered during field work. Heat stress is
exacerbated when personal protective equipment is used. Physiological monitoring will
be conducted as described whenever ambient temperatures or wet bulb globe temperature
(WGBT) readings are greater than 86 degrees Fahrenheit (0 F). If PPE is worn,
monitoring will be initiated at 750 F (ambient or WBGT). Cold stress may require that
fieldwork be discontinued. Windchill factors and ambient temperatures must be
considered. Temperatures may be moderated by providing temporary shelters
(enclosures) and portable heaters. Additional guidance is given in SOP 7.1 of the JacobsEH&S Manual.

Workers with Semipermeable Clothing
Workers who are required to wear semipermeable clothing should use physiologicalmonitoring to determine the length of permitted work activities. The frequency ofmonitoring is based on the adjusted air temperature (ta adj.) as illustrated below.Calculate the ta adj. by using this equation: ta adj ' F = ta.0 F + (1 3 x percent sunshine).Measure air temperature (ta) with a standard mercury-in-glass thermometer, with the bulbshielded from radiant heat. Estimate percent sunshine by judging what percent of thetime the sun is not covered by clouds that are thick enough to produce a shadow (100percent sunshine = no cloud cover and a sharp, distinct shadow; 0 percent sunshine =no
shadows).

The actual length of the work-rest cycle is based on the results of physiological
monitoring, including pulse and body temperature. Body temperature can be taken with
an oral or tympanic (ear) thermometer. The tympanic thermometer is recommended
because the instrument gives an accurate result in less than one second.
Pulse Rate Criteria
Take resting radial (wrist) pulse at start of work day; record it. Measure radial pulse rate
for 3 0 seconds as each rest period begins. The pulse rate should not exceed I110 beats per
minute (bpm), or 20 bpm higher than the resting pulse rate. If the pulse rate exceeds this
criterion, reduce the workload and/or shorten the work cycle by one third, and observe for
signs of heat stress. No team member shall return to work until his or her pulse rate has
returned to less than 1 10 bpm. or 20 bpm above resting pulse.
Oral Tempierature
Use a tympanic thermometer (one second in the ear) or clinical thermometer (three
minutes under the tongue) or similar device to measure the body temperature at the end of
the work period (before drinking). The action required depends on the worker'stemperature, as follows:
* If body temperature exceeds 99.60 F (37.60 C), shorten the next work cycle by onethird without changing the rest period.
* If body temperature still exceeds 99.60 F (37.6' C) at the beginning of the next rest
period. shorten the following work cycle by one third.
* Do not permit a worker to wear a semipermeable garment when his or her body
temperature exceeds 100.60 F (-38.1'- C).

Symptoms and Treatment of Heat and Cold Stress
Table C-I presents symptoms and treatment of heat and cold stress.
Noise
The main sources of noise for this project are industrial operations, vehicles, concrete
cutters. generators. Hearing protection must be worn in areas where noise levels are at
the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 85 decibels (dBA) or greater. Hearing protection1
is required when, at 3 feet apart in normal conversation, voices must be raised to be
heard. A Type II sound-level hieter should be used to measure site noise to verify sound
levels and determine the need for hearing protection. Hearing protection should bespecified by the PHSM or SHSC based on measured levels at the~site.
Precariously Positioned Objects
Field personnel shall become familiar with the general area and the potential physical
hazards associated with debris or objects (e.g., drums, boards) that may be piled or
scattered around the site. If objects are stacked in an unsafe manner, the PHSM shallnotify the client site contact. Field activities shall not begin until station personnelremove or safely restack the objects.
Utility Lines
Utility lines both aboveground and belowground may pose a hazard to team members
during field activities. Personnel must maintain a safe clearance (at least 15 feet) from
overhead utility lines at all times. The locations of utility lines must be determinedbefore excavating, digging, or drilling. No drilling or excavating is to take place without
locating and identifying underground utility lines. Jacobs' SOP 7.7 (EH&S Manual)
shall be strictly followed,.
Walking and Working in Open Terrain
Field personnel shall become familiar with the general terrain of the site and potential
physical hazards (evaporation ponds. uneven terrain, etc.) that would be associated with
accidental slips, trips, and/or falls.

or otherwise made less stable. -* Avoid the top edges of drop-off areas. whether they have been disturbed or not.
* Travel on open terrain in the company of another person.
Confined Space Entry Procedures
Jacobs' SOP 8.6 (Corp~orate Safety Manual) shall be followed. This procedure is
summarized below:
* Properly fill out, date. post. and sign a confined space/vessel entry permit beforeentering a confined space. This permit is valid only for one shift for the specifiedwork location and period indicated on the permit.
* Monitor air continuously with an oxygen meter, explosimeter, and hydrogen sulfideand/or carbon monoxide meter during entry. Before entering the confined space.
lower the measuring probe or the meter into the space to monitor the concentrations
from top to bottom of the confined space. If the meter readout cannot be seen from
the top of the confined space. use an instrument that is capable of sounding an alarm 1at concentration(s) considered hazardous.
* At least three people are required during confined space entry:
- the person entering the confined space;
- a stand-by attendant who is observing the person in the confined space at all
times;
- a person the attendant can notify if an emergency occurs. This person must be
close enough to hear the attendant calling for assistance.
* if the PHSM or SHSC determines that the confined space requires venting, blow airinto the space.
H AMAKNAXXHSPLANC-APENDl DOC 0.10
* If required to w~ear a lifeline and safety harness (five-point-attached at the back) to
enter the confined space. attach the lifeline to a tripod or similar method for removal
of personnel in case of an emergency.
* Obtain additional lighting if conditions require it.
* Determine that any necessary electrical connections are in proper working order and
properly grounded* Physically blank or lock out of service all piping and electrical systems associated
with a confined space (e.g., tank or vessel).
Tagging Defective Tools, Materials, or Equipment
Do not use defective tools, materials, and equipment that could affect personnel safety or
the environment. When a defective tool, material, or piece of equipment is found. take it
out of service immediately by tagging. destroying, or removing it from the project.
Danger tags shall be dated, sequentially numbered, and signed by the supervisor. A
defective equipment log shall be maintained.
Housekeeping
Jacobs' management will strictly enforce housekeeping. Poor housekeeping is a sign of
a poorly managed project and is the root of many safety problems. Safely store all
material, scrap, tools and toolboxes, and other equipment in a neat and orderly fashion.
Remove trash and scrap from the work area on a regular basis (i.e.. at least daily before
the end of each work shift) and never allow it to accumulate, especially in walkways.
under stairs. at the bases and landings of stairs and ladders, and near flammable
substances.
Housekeeping will receive a major emphasis during daily and weekly contractor
inspections. If the contractor determines that housekeeping has become a problem, the
contractor reserves the right to stop work and require a cleanup before work resumes.
Illumination
Adequate lighting is extremely important for the safe execution of work. The minimum
illumination intensity shall be 5 foot-candles in all active work areas and accessways. In
specified areas outlined in the OSHA standard. 29 CFR 1926.56, the required intensity
ranges as high as 20 foot-candles. Lighting intensity will be surveyed during the regular
contractor job site inspections.

The foreman of the electrical escort (where electrical escort is required) shall ensure that a
fully qualified electrical lineman escort is assigned and shall instruict the assigned
lineman fully as to his position in the caravan (number two - directly behind the patrol).
The lineman's responsibilities include observing all potential electrical or overhead line
interferences, relaying such information to the escort superintendent before questionable
conditions become a problem. and observing "on foot" the interferences at gates.
congested turns, and other constricted areas.
A superintendent or safety supervisor shall be responsible for each crane movement and
shall personally direct planning of the movement with consideration to routing, turns.
speeds, stops, terrain, 'weather conditions, and traffic. The safety supervisor or
superintendent shall inspect and approve the positioning and securing of the crane on the
lowboy before movement begins; halt the movement operation if any quiestion arises
concerning safe movement of the crane; and ensure that proper permits are completed
before going into controlled areas.
The foreman of the crane operator shall also ensure the proper operating and mechanical
condition of the crane, know the hazards on the travel route, include in the safety briefings
for the operator and flagmen that one or more flagmen shall escort the crane when en
route over congested roads, and minimize the need for travel during heavy traffic periods.

* dimensions of load;* attachment points for rigging;* obstructions in path of load;* rigging hardware and configuration;* crane operator qualifications;* crane load chart (or copy thereof); and
* other equipment or cranes involved.
The Contractor Hoisting, and Rigging Committee shall approve all critical lifts. If any
deviation from crane manufacturer recommendations is anticipated. approval shall be
secured from the manufacturer and included far evaluation.
Critical lifts are lifts that require exceptional care because of size, weight (any lift with a
total weight in excess of 75 percent of the crane's load chart), close-tolerance installation,
high susceptibility to damage, use of two cranes, or other unusual factors. An example of
a critical lift is one in which a collision, upset, or drop could result in the following:
* an unacceptable delay to the schedule or another significant program impact due to
damage.

likely to allow any part of the crane or load to come within 15 feet of a power line by
rotation, boom extension/elevation, or crane movement.
When frequent. repetitive crane work is to be performed near overhead power lines.
consider having the lines relocated or dc-energized.
When the job requires that a crane or the load come within 10 feet of an overhead power
line, prepare a written plan. De-energize and ground all power lines whenever possible.
The minimum clearance to any power line rated at 50 kV or below shall be 10 feet. For
lines rated over 50 kV, rninimunm clearance shall be as required per OSHA 29 CFR
1926.5 50.
A written plan shall be developed to specify job details and special safety measures
provided to ensure worker safety. The plan shall be approved by the contractor. who
shall review the measures taken to make the job safe (e.g., special tools, equipment.
grounding). Written plans shall include unexpected situations (e.g., equipment drawing
arcs, emergency responses, electrical shocks, the need to dc-energize the line quickly) and
instructions for handling them.
The following shall be considered before starting work within 10 feet of overhead
energized power lines:
a allow daylight work only;* allow no work on a rainy or foggy day;* place a rubber blanket on the line;
* provide lineman's gloves and boots for operators and other exposed persons (riggers.
etc.);* provide rubber boots for operators;* place rubber blanket on the operator's seat;* insulate the crane boom;* provide insulated tag lines;
* ground cranes per OSH-A 29 CFR 1926.550;

* allow no one on a rig but the operator:
* post a special signalman to maintain line clearance: and '* provide detailed drawings and controls to ensure that equipment does not '.iolate
minimum clearances.
Do not operate cranes and other heavy equipment within 3) feet of power poles or guy
wires supportin2 these poles. Flag or load guy wires within the swing radius of the crane
with yellow tape.
Crane Work Over critical Pininig
A written plan is required for work over critical piping systems. .The contractor shall have ultimate authority over operational facilities, and shall also be
responsible for designating which service piping shall be treated as critical piping.
Riggingj
All rigger's signal men shall be trained properly and provided with a rigging handbook.
Documentation of training shall be provided to the contractor. All rigging shall be
performed in accordance with the Department of Energy Hoisting and Rigging Program
Manual (Ref. 6). which will be available from the contractor on request. Major rigging
operations must be planned and supervised by competent personnel to ensure that the best
methods and most suitable equipment are employed.
The contractor shall have the authority to cancel hoisting and rigging operations based on
consideration of weather, condition of lifting hardware, electrical line clearances, or any
other factor that, in the judgment of the contractor, may adversely affect the successful
conclusion of the lift. All rigging must be protected from flame cutting and electric
welding operations and from contact with solvents and chemicals.
Equipment Insretin n Tstn
When specially fabricated devices are required for hoisting and rigging operations (e.g.,lifting beams, material baskets, and spreader beams), the design and calculations for thedevice shall be reviewed and approved by the contractor.
All rigging shall be inspected by a competent person before each use and marked as
inspected at least annually. All rigging shall be labeled clearly with its capacity. All
rigging shall be stored in a rigging loft )r an equivalent area where it will not be exposed
to the elements.
H4XNAAKESPLANC.APEN DOC C-38
Job-built rigging and hoisting equipment shall be tested onsite at 12$ percent capacity.
and such tests shall be observed and documented by the contractor. In addition. drawings
of such rigging showing weld details and load capacities shall be submitted to the
contractor and approved before the rigging is used.
Hoisting and rigging equipment for material handling shall be inspected visually before
use on each shift. and as necessary during its use to ensure that it is safe. Hoisting and
rigging equipment shall be load-tested at least annually by a competent person, who, by
training and experience, is capable of recognizing defects and taking the appropriateaction to correct or eliminate them. Inspections shall be documented and made availableto the contractor.
Safe Workin2 Loads
Do not load hoisting and rigging equipment in excess of its recommended safe workingload, as prescribed in Tables H-i through H-20 of OSHA 29 CFR 1926. Subpart H.(1926.25 1. Rigging Equipment for Mfaterial Handling). Maik special hoisting devices,slings, chokers, hooks, clamps, or other lifting accessories to indicate the safe workingloads and proof test thern before initial use to 125 percent of their rated load.
Determine the load weight before it is rigged. Account for the gross load, which is thesum of the weight of the rigging, block, hooks, lifting beam, stowed or erected jibs,
headache ball, other elements of rigging or equipment and the load, when determining
hoisting equipment. Safe working loads of hoisting equipment apply only to freelysuspended loads on plumb hoist lines. If the hoist line is not plumb, additional side loads
will compromise the stability and introduce stresses that exceed equipment designs.R~apid swinging of loads also adds additional stresses and minimizes stability. The loadmust always be directly below the boom point or upper load block.
The center of gravity must be below the hook and below the lowest point of attachment to
ensure stability. Use softeners to protect slings at sharp corners. Avoid sharp bends,pinching, and crushing. Do not bend the eye section of wire rope slings around corners.
Alloy Steel Chains
Do not use chains for lifting except as part of a chainfall or come-along device.
Wire Roves
Keep wire ropes in good repair and without deformities. Wire ropes with visual signs ofkinking, crushing, unstrantding, birdcaging, main strand displacement, core protrusion.loss of rope diameter, unevenness of outer strands, corrosion, heat damage, abrasion,broken wires or strands and cracked, worn, or deformed end attachments should beconsidered in evaluation of sling replacement. Do not use wire rope if in one rope laythere are 1 0 randomly distributed broken wires or Five broken wires in one strand.
HNAMAXNAKJISPiLAN'C.APEND DOC C-39
Use Tables H-3 through H-14 of OSHA 29 CFR 1926. Subpart H. (1926.25 1. Rigging
Equipment for Materials Handling) to determine the safe working loads of various sizes
and classifications of improved plow steel wire rope and wire rope slings with various
types of terminals. For sizes. classifications, and grades not included in these tables.
follow the safe working load recommended by the manufacturer for specific. identifiable
products. provided that a safety factor of not less than 5 is maintained. Blunt wire rope
with protruding ends of strands in splices on slings and cover bridles. Wire rope
application use limitations shall be in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.25 l (c)(4). When U-
bolt wire rope clips are used to form eyes, use Table H-20 of OSHA 29 CFR 1926,
Subpart H. (1926.251, Rigging Equipment for Materials Handling) to determine the
number and spacing of clips. Always use a minimum of three clips. More clips may beneeded when large-dimension wire is used.
Carefully maintain synthetic slings. Immediately remove any synthetic sling with the red
warning line exposed, regardless of the extent of the exposure and the use of the sling.
Slings should not be dragged from beneath loads. Knotted and kinked slings are
considered permanently damaged; remove them from the site. When estimating sling
capacity using multi-legged slings, consider only two of the legs to carry the full load.
Remove all loose pieces of material from the load before moving. Wear gloves whenhandling wire rope. Keep hands free from pinch points as slack is taken up. Control the
load at all times. Keep body parts out of pinch points. Use tag lines.
Tables H-i5 through H-IS of OSHA 29 CER 1926, Subpart H, (1926.251, Rigging
Equipment for Materials Handling), shall apply when using natural or synthetic fiber
rope slings.
Make all splices in rope slings in accordance with fiber rope manufacturer's
recommendations and 29 CFR 1926.25 1(d)(2).
Identify synthetic webbing (nylon, polyester. and polypropylene) by the name of the
manufacturer, the rated capacities for the type of hitch, and the type of material.
Remove synthetic web slings from operation immediately if there are signs of acid or
caustic bums, melting or charring of any part of the sling surface, snags, punctures, tears
or cuts, broken or worn stitches, distortion of fittings, discoloration or rotting, or red
warning line showing.
Shackles. Hooks. and Bolts
H 1AMAKNAK.HSPLANC.APEND DOC C-40
Use table H-19 of OSHA 29 CFR 1926. Subpant H. (1926.251. Rigging Equipmerntb'/r
Materials Handling) to determine the safe working loads of %various sizes of shackles.
Use only one eye-hook and do not hook back to the load line in either mechanical rigging
or hand rigging. Use only one eye of a sling in a hook. Use a shackle to hold two or
more eves. The pin of the shackle should be placed in the hook with the eyes of chokers
bearing on the shank.
Use only shouldered eyeboits. except where it is not possible because of the
configuration of the item to which the eyebolt is attached. Do not use unshouldered
eyebolts when the load is to be lifted at an angle because they are subjected to bending,
and the load they can safely carry is severely reduced. Eyebolts should never be welded.
Shouldered eyebolts must be installed with the shoulder at a right angle to the axis of the
hole and in contact with the working surface to keep bending to a minimum: the loads
should be applied to the plane of the eye. The tapped hole for screwed eyebolts shall
have a minimum depth of one and one-half times the bolt diameter. Nev er insert the
point of a hook in an eyebolt; a shackle must be used instead. A sling must not be reeved
through pairs of eyebolts. One single leg should be attached to each eyebolt.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations to determine the safe working loads of the
various sizes and types of specific and identifiable hooks. Do not use anry hooks for
which applicable manufacturer's recommendations are not available.
Shackles and hooks shall be constructed of forged alloy steel with the identifiable load
rating and manufacturer on the shackle or hook. All hooks except for sorting hooks and
sliding choker hooks shall be equipped with a safety latch.
Knots
Knots shall not be tied in rigging for any purpose, and all rigging shall be used only for
its intended purpose. Rigging used to hoist manbaskets shall be identified as such and
shall not be used for any other purpose.
Weather Conditions
Do not carry out a rigging or hoisting operation when weather conditions could cause the
operation to be hazardous to personnel or property. The size and shape of loads must be
examined to determine if a hazard exists during high winds. Wind loading may not
exceed equipment capacity. When wind speeds reach 25 to 30 mph, or when visibility is
impaired by darkness, snow, fog, or rain, the operation shall be suspended.
When the temperature is below freezing, caution must be used to ensure that no part of
the hoisting equipment is shock loaded, because steel fracture can result. Stress factors
that reduce rigging capacity and safe working load must be considered when using slings
at angles or when slings are choked.
