BAKERSFIELD I INTRODUCTION This report outlines the underground storage tank removal methods and results of Lutrel Services, Inc. (LSI) operations on the underground storage tanks at 3304 Pierce Road and 3207 Antonino Ave. in Bakersfield, California. The underground storage tank removal was authorized by Mr. John Antonino, Owner/Operator and Mr. Steve Lewis, Operator on July 22, 1994. II PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of the underground storage tank removal was to eliminate the possibility of contaminating soil from the tank. LSI presented one scenario for removal, 1) Excavate, recycle and backfill. I Scope of work for this remediation project involved the following: · Permits were purchased on September 7, 1994 and then renewed on December 30, 1994. I · Excavation of the subject tank began on January 9, 1995. Due to wet weather, the tanks were not i· decontaminated until Friday, January 13, 1995. The tanks were filled with 98 pounds of dry ice, ' I loaded on a flatbed truck and transported as a non-hazardous material. Samples were taken by having the backhoe bucket excavate to the prescribed depth, 2 feet and six feet below the botom of the tank I grabbing the sample with a six inch brass tube from the bucket and capping both ends of the tube with Teflon® tape and plastic. The samples were labeled and sent immediately to Cirrus Labs for analysis. I Each sample was analyzed for TPH-g and Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene and Xylene (BTEX). Groundwater was not encountered during excavation. I · Data from these analyses were evaluated to assure the client and the Bakersfield City Fire Department i that the excavation had no contamination from the removed tanks. · Mr. Mark Turk of the City Fire Department was on site to wimess the actual removal of the tanks and I the sampling of the soil. I I Antonino / Lewis Project Page 1 I UST Removal I III BACKGROUND INFORMATION I Information regarding the site location, site description, site geology and hydrogeology, and project history is presented in the following sections. I a. Project Location I The project site is located at 3304 Pierce Road and 3207 Antonino Ave. in the City of Bakersfield, Kern County, California. The site is east of Highway 99, bounded by Antonino Ave. to the north and surrounded by light industrial businesses. The site is within Section 23, Township 29 South, 'l I Range 27 East, M.D.B. & M. (See Map #1) I b. Site Description The site is a level, partially paved, chain-link fence enclosed property. An office / shop building is I located directly north of the UST on property directly the Pierce Road and west on the Antonino property. California Water Service is the company in charge of domestic water service. All i I sewage is discharged into the sewage system. I The underground storage tanks were located south of the office / shop building on the Pierce Road property and just east of the office / shop building on the Antonino Ave. property. (Map #2) The tanks were constructed of steel and set below grade. Each tank was approximately five feet in I diameter and the top was four feet deep. (see Figure 1). I IV SITE GEOLOGY AND HYDROLOGY The site is located within the San Joaquin Valley Great Valley geomorphic province of Califomia. Near- I surface site soils consist of sand, sandy silt, and silty clay which are Quaternary alluvial deposits of the Kern River, located approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the site. According to Kern County Water ' I Agency Water Supply Report, 1992, groundwater is less than 150 feet below grade with a gradient of ~· approximately 0.017 feet per foot in a northwest direction. This shallow unconfined aquifer recharges the ,· deeper confined and semi-confined groundwater basin which provides the community and agricultural .1 water supply for the southern valley. Average rainfall in the Bakersfield area is approximately six inches per year and does not contribute to the groundwater recharge by surface infiltration. I I ! Antonino / Lewis Project Page 2 I UST Removal V SITE HISTORY Information regarding the site history was obtained from owner of the property, Mr. John Antonino. The site was part of the Fruitvale oilfield until it was subdivided into light industrial parcels during the middle 1970s. The site was developed by the present owner and used as an office and shop doing business as Valley Steel Construction (3304 Pierce Road) and Petrochem Environmental Services (3207 Antonino Ave.) The tanks were used to store unleaded gasoline for company vehicles. The Pierce Road site tank was used up until the actual removal. The Antonino Ave. site tank has not been used in the last 15 years. VI PROJECT HISTORY The Bakersfield City Fire Department, in conjunction with Kern County Environmental Health Department is concerned that underground Storage Tanks have the potential to degrade water quality of the unconfined aquifer which underlies the city. Because the tanks commonly consist of organic hydrocarbon compounds, KCEHSD and the City Fire Department has required that the owners of property known to be equipped with these types of systems demonstrate that the tanks are replaced with double walled tanks with leak detection systems and that the soil beneath the system components has not been impacted by organic constituents. a. Laboratory Analysis of Soil Samples Soil samples were refrigerated and shipped to Cirrus Environmental Analytical Laboratories in Santa Maria, California and tested for BTEX by EPA Method 8020 and TPH-g by EPA Method 8015. VII LSI SITE CHARACTERIZATION FINDINGS a. Soil Profile Subsurface soils in the area of the investigation generally consist of silty sands underlain by interbedded layers of poorly graded sand and silty clay to a maximum depth of 12 feet. b. Results of soil Sample Analysis Laboratory results of the soil samples tested for BTEX, and TPH-g are presented in Table I. Laboratory documentation is provided in Appendix A. An'~onino / Lewis P'roject Page 3 UST Removal i Samples tested for BTEX and total petroleum hydrocarbons revealed that non-detectable levels of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, total xylene, and gasoline were present in subsurface soils at two feet (2') and six feet (6') below the removed tanks. I c. Extent of Soil Contamination I Based on the results of the analytical testing of soil samples, petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline were not present in the subsurface soils to a depth of at least 16 feet. i vm CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the findings, the following conclusions: i · Soil profile at the site consists of silty sand, poorly graded sand, silty I clay and gravelly sand to the maximum explored depth of 16 feet. · No groundwater was encountered. 1 i Antonino / Lewis Project Page 4 LIST Removal I IX REMEDIAL ACTION ALTERNATIVES KCEHSD requires that three remediation options be evaluated if significant levels of contamination are found. Remediation alternatives for soils containing gasoline include ex-situ and in-sim methods. Soil excavation (ex-sim treatment) is effective for most soils and petroleum hydrocarbons. Excavation is generally limited to depths of 25 feet and can be further limited by site development and site operations, however the extent of attainable cleanup is usually more predictable and more to be Ex- likely complete. sim remediation usually requires shorter time periods and is time-dependent on the type of surface treatment selected (i.e., recycling, bioremediation). Environmental impact and site disturbance can be substantial, including risk of chemical exposure and physical contact with chemicals. The potential for damage to nearby structures and other site features can be high. In-situ methods include bioventing and bioremediation. In-sim methods generally are effective in permeable soil types (i.e., sand and sand silt mixtures) and are less limited by depth or by site development. Site operations are usually only minimally interrupted by system installation and maintenance tasks. Extent of attainable often varies soil and of cleanup depending on types type contaminant and is generally not entirely complete. In-situ methods require long periods of time (sometimes on the order of several years) in comparison to ex-situ treatment. Long-term liabilities may result from incomplete reduction of contaminants. Costs associated with in-situ methods are generally less in comparison to ex-sim methods, especially when deep soil contamination is present. I I I I Antonino / Lewis Project Page 5 UST Removal I i X EXCAVATION OF CONTAMINATED SOIL Since no contamination was found on the two sites, no remediation should be required. I a. Suggested Action I L.S.I. that the excavation be baclaCilled with the soil removed during excavation with the suggests addition of 10 yards of sand to account for the tank volume. I b. Findings i After the tank removal, LSI took samples of the soil for analysis at two feet (2') and six feet (6')below the tank bottom. Samples were analyzed and non-detect levels were reported at both tanks. I XI LSI CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS I c. Conclusions a. The gasoline contamination located beneath both tanks has been reported as non-detect, resulting in I clean closure. These levels are documented by TPH-g and BTEX analyses from samples at the bottom of the excavations. [] I Field observations and measurements, and laboratory analyses indicate that the site does not pose a present or reasonable threat to groundwater due to this report's findings of non-detect or extremely I low contaminant concentrations. I b. Recommendation As a result of the findings described in this report, we recommend that a clean closure declaration I be granted by the KCEHSD and the Bakersfield Fire Department for the underground storage tanks at 3304 Pierce Road and 3207 Antonino Ave., Bakersfield, California.

The provisions set forth in this Site Specific document apply to the employees of Lutrel ,and their subcontractors while working on this project. The subcontractors working on this project may elect to modify these provisions, but only to upgrade or increase the safety requirements, and only with Lutrel's written concurrence. This Site Safety Plan specifically addresses potential hazards which may be encountered during execution of the subject contract. Should unforeseen changes in working conditions occur as the site activities progress, Lutrel will provide amendments to this Plan. Site Background and Work Plan Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page ~-1 Contract No. SECTION 1 SITE BACKGROUND AND WORK PLAN The contract work will consist of removal, decontamination and disposal of 1 underground storage tank, in addition to associated piping and ancillary equipment as specified herein. The tank is estimated to be 500 gallons. This tank was reportedly used for storing gasoline. 1.1 Work Plan Lutrel's work plan will consist of the following tasks as described below. The below mentioned tasks have been categorized based on the individual steps that will be followed before, during and after the tank excavation (including the excavation). The tank and pipes will be removed. A) Tank Removal 1. Mobilization All required work zones and necessary equipment will be mobilized on-site. 20A - 120 B:C rated fire extinguishers will be available for emergency use on-site. 2. Rinsing Tank A state registered hazardous waste hauler will initially empty the tank of all liquids, solids and sludge. Lutrel shall then triple rinse the tank with a pressure washer, generating rinsate in quantities equal to approximately 20% of its total volume. The rinsate shall then be evacuated by vacuum truck and transported to Gibson Environmental for processing. 3. Displacing Vapors The tank will be purged using a minimum of 15 pounds of solid carbon dioxide, pulverized prior to tank introduction per 1000 gallons of tank volume. Excavation operations will begin only when the tanks are found to contain less than 5% oxygen. Site Background and Work Plan Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 1o2 Contract No. 4. Tank Excavation and Soil Testing Before removal of the tank, Lutrel will demonstrate to the satisfaction of the fire/health inspector that each tank has been sufficiently inerted and is verified to be below 5% oxygen prior to removal. Under no circumstances will a tank be removed without the prior approval of the fire/health departments, as required by the contract specifications. All manufacturer's identification tags, still intact, shall be removed, photographed and retained for subsequent submittal to the contracting officer, or his authorized representative. The tank will be excavated no greater than 2° beyond its outside diameter unless directed by the Contracting Officer or his representative, making checks for contamination periodically. If no contamination is encountered, the soil will be stockpiled no less than 2 feet from the edge of the excavation. If contamination is encountered, the soil will be segregated and placed on 20 mil visqueen with a 1 foot high retainment berm and covered with black 6 mil visqueen. The tanks will be removed using equipment and methods that will ensure safe removal, in conformance with the contract requirements. 5. Tank Transportation Prior to transporting each tank, all openings will be capped or plugged except for an 1/8-inch pressure relief hole in the vent plug installed for removal purposes. The previously decontaminated and inerted tank will be transported by a state licensed waste hauler to a metal recycling facility for destruction. 6. Soil and Groundwater Testing After the tank has been successfully removed, soil and groundwater sampling will be performed by BC Labs, in order to determine whether an unauthorized release has occurred. Sampling will be done in accordance with current County and State guidelines. Site Background and Work Plan Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 1-3 Contract No. 7. Backfilling If analytical results indicate that soil is not contaminated, then the excavation will be bacldilled using a pre-approved imported material and compacted. If the soil is found to be contaminated, then it will be transported to the designated landfarm area and/or disposed of appropriately as directed by the contracting officer. 8. Site Restoration Site will be restored according to plans and specifications. B) Pipe Removal 1. Mobili~,ation All required work zones and necessary equipment will be mobilized on-site. 2. Rinsing Pipe A state registered hazardous waste hauler will empty the pipe lines of all liquids, solids and sludge, and rinse the pipes with approximately 20% of the total volume. 3. Excavation Pipelines will be excavated and checked for contamination periodically. If no contamination is encountered, the soil will be stockpiled next to the excavation. If contamination is encountered, it will be segregated and placed on visqueen with a 1-foot high retaining wall and covered with visqueen. 4. Transportation The pipelines will be transported by a state-licensed hazardous waste hauler to a TSD facility. Site Background and Work Plan Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 1-4 Contract No. 5. Soil and Groundwater Testing After the underground lines have been removed, soil and groundwater sampling will be done to determine whether an unauthorized release has occurred. Soil samples will be collected by others every 20 feet, and sampling methods will follow County and State Guidelines. 6. Backfilling If analytical results indicate that the native soil is not contaminated, then the excavation will be backfilled using a pre-approved material and compacted. If the native soil is found to be contaminated, it will be transported to the designated landfarm area and be disposed of appropriately. 7. Site Restoration The site will be restored according to plans and specifications. C) Pipe Closed In-Place 1. Mobilization All required work zones and necessary equipment will be mobilized on-site. 2. Rinsing Pipe A state registered hazardous waste hauler will empty the pipe of all liquids, solids and sludge, and rinse the pipe with approximately 20% of the total volume. 3. Soil and Groundwater Sampling Soil and groundwater samples will be collected around the pipe and a DHS certified approved laboratory will analyze this material for the current and historical constituents contained in the pipe. If soil or groundwater analyses indicate contamination above the detection limits, the pipe may not be closed in place, and must be removed as described in Task B -- Pipe Removal. 4. Rinsate Sampling Lutrel will adequately rinse the pipe again prior to closure in place. A sample of the final rinsate will be collected. If laboratory analyses of the rinsate indicates Site Background and Work Plan Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 1-5 Contract No. that rinsing was not effective, the contractor will repeat the process until adequate results are obtained. $. Filling Pipe The pipe will be filled with an inert solid (2-sack concrete slurry mix) approved by the Department of Public Health and Contracting Officer. 6. Site Restoration All site restoration will be accomplished as the per the specifications.

Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-1 Contract No. SECTION 3 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS 3.1 Chemical Hazards The chemical hazards on-site have been analyzed based on the background of the site and the underground tank in consideration. The underground tank has been used to store gasoline. The contaminants that could be potentially found on the Petro Chem site has been listed below with their hazards. Gasoline is a flammable liquid. It is a skin irritant and causes disturbances of the eye. On inhalation can cause deep burning in the throat and respiratory system, and may lead to bronchopneumonia. Repeated or chronic dermal contact may result in drying of the skin, may cause skin lesions, and other dermatological conditions. TWA--300 ppm Benzene -- can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and respiratory tract. It can also cause staggered gait, giddiness, fatigue, anorexia, dermatitis. TWA--1 ppm. Benzene is an OSHA regulated carcinogen and is also defined as a human carcinogen by International Agency for Research cancer and by National Toxicology Program. Toluene -- It can cause fatigue weakness, confusion, euphoria, dizziness, headache, dilated pupils, insomnia, parasthesia, and dermatitis. TWA--100 ppm Xylene -- It can cause dizziness, excitement, drowsiness, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dermatitis. TWA--100 ppm Ethyl Benzene -- It can cause irritation of the eyes, and mucous membrane, and headache, dermatitis, narcosis and coma. TWA--100 ppm Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-2 Contract No. 3.2 Physical Hazards Physical hazards associated with the project may potentially include: (1) flammability of the above mentioned vapors; (2) hazards associated with equipment operation and hand or power tools which are primarily physical contact accidents; (3) slipping, tripping and falling hazards; (4) excavation hazard; (5) heat stress due to working in protective clothing that restricts body cooling; (6) noise hazard; (7) electrical hazards; (8) dust hazards; (9) underground and overhead utilities; (10) confined space entry; (11) snapping cables, slings and ropes hazard; (12) driving hazard; (13) lifting heavy objects; and (14) ladder use 3.2.1 Heat Stress Heath related injuries may not be fin issue from the onset of the project. However, the project extends into the spring and summer when heat related injuries can occur. Some signs and symptoms of heat stress are presented below. Heat rash may result from continuous exposure to heat or humid air. Heat cramps are caused by heavy sweating with inadequate electrolyte replacement. Signs and symptoms include: - muscle spasms - heavy sweating - dizziness - nausea - fainting Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-3 Contract No. Heat exhaustion occurs from increased stress on various body organs including inadequate blood circulation due. to cardiovascular insufficiency or dehydration. Signs and symptoms include: - pale, cool, moist skin - heavy sweating - dizziness ~ nausea - fainting Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat stress. Temperature regulation fails and the body temperature rises to critical levels. Immediate action must be taken to cool the body before serious injury and death occurs. Competent medical help must be obtained. Signs and symptoms are: red, hot, usually dry skin - dizziness and confusion Jack of or reduced perspiration - strong, rapid pulse nausea - coma Heat Stress Prevention To prevent heat stress the Site Safety Officer will keep cool drinking water and cool electrolyte replacement drinks on-site at all times. The Safety Officer will call for work breaks'as often as necessary (depending on the temperature and working conditions). Workers will be monitored visually for heat stress symptoms. Heat stroke victims will be placed in a shower drench or will be hosed down with a deluge of water and transported immediately to the nearest emergency medical facility. If the ambient temperature is about 70 °F, then the employee body temperature will be monitored by a fever strip or a oral thermometer. Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-4 Contract No. 3.2.2 Flammable Vapors/Fire Hazard Duc to the flammable/combustible nature of thc contaminants present on the sites, 'thc following procedures will be followed: Fires and any open flames will not be left unattended. Smoking will be prohibited in the exclusion zone, truck loading zone and contamination reduction zone. A NO SMOKING sign will be posted in all prohibited areas. The tank excavation area and all surrounding areas will not be used to store any combustible or flammable material. All fluids from the tank will be pumped out. No air pressure equipment will be used to transfer liquids. All equipment involving transfer of flammable liquids will be grounded and secured as required. If workers get any part of their clothes wet, they will be required to change clothes prior to resuming their work activities. No flammable or combustible liquid/material with a flash point below 100 °F will be used for cleaning or any other purpose. All sources of ignition shall be prohibited within 50 feet of operations which may constitute a fire hazard. A NO SMOKING sign shall be conspicuously posted in these areas. All sources of ignition shall be prohibited in areas where flammable liquids are stored, handled, or processed. Suitable NO SMOKING signs shall be posted in these areas. Fire extinguishers shall be strategically placed, distinctly marked, and maintained in a fully charged and operable condition. At least one portable fire extinguisher, with a rating of not less than 20A:120B:C will be provided on all tank excavation sites. Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-5 Contract No. Vehicles, equipment, materials, and supplies will not be placed in a way that obstructs access to fire hydrants and other fire fighting equipment. Reporting and evacuating instructions will be conspicuously posted or the employees will be adequately trained on the evacuation procedures in case of emergency. Before tank removal, vapors will be displaced by purging using 15 pounds of ice for every 100 gallon tank capacity. Tank removal will be done only if concentrations of vapors are 5% below LEL values. All electrical equipment's that could be a source of ignition will be identified before the tank removal. Lockout/Tagout procedures will be implemented. 3.2.3 Noise Hazard To mitigate noise hazard workers will be required to wear ear plugs for all operations involving the use of power or pneumatic equipment. All field employees will participate in an annual physical (see Section 5.4.1) which includes audiometric testing. 3.2.4 Electrical Hazard All tag-out and lock-out procedures which comply with CAL/OSHA electrical safety orders will be followed. Lutrel will make sure that the electrical system to be removed is identified as SAFE OFF prior to starting work. Live parts of wiring or equipment will be guarded to protect all persons or objects from harm. Underground utility locator services will be used to identify any electric, gas, phone or other utilities and these areas will be clearly' marked in the tank excavation areas. Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-6 Contract No. 3.2.5 Dust Hazard Dust control procedures will be implemented whenever a dust nuisance or hazard occurs during the course of this project. Water application will be the primary method used to control dust so as to minimize impact to land and water resources existing within work site boundaries. Water mist will be sprayed during saw-cutting and excavation to control particulates generated by these activities. All piles of imported soil will be covered with a heavy plastic film. 3.2.6 Excavation Hazard Any excavation that may jeopardize the integrity of nearby surface structures must be under the guidance of an experienced civil/structural engineer. Lutrel civil and geotechnical engineers, project managers, site supervisors, and foremen shall have working knowledge of 29 CFR 1926.650-1926.653 and applicable state regulations. The above listed personnel will be considered to be the competent persons specified below. The only exception to this policy is small excavations less than 4 feet deep, such as test pits, that will only require trench jacks, and which do not pose a threat to the integrity of nearby surface structures. All shoring considerations will be based on a site to site basis because of various unknown factors that may influence the decision. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard (29 CFR 1926.652) requires sloping to the angle of repose or shoring of excavations to protect against a cave-in when personnel enter excavations deeper than 5 feet, less if the soil is unstable (also mentioned in manual 385-1-1). CAL-OSHA requires permits for entry into excavations deeper than 5 feet. Lutrel will strictly adhere to all the applicable Standard, and subcontractors will be monitored for compliance. Fall Protection and Tank Access For purpose of protecting the employees from falling into the excavation, all excavations will be fenced with a six foot chain link fence. Secure escape ladders which extend at least two feet above grade will be provided on either sides of the excavation for easy ingress and egress. To prevent employees from falling from tanks into excavations deeper than 5 feet, one side of the excavation will be sloped in accordance with trenching/excavation requirements. In addition, a secure ladder will be placed near the slope to facilitate easy ingress and egress. All ladders used will be properly secured by Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-7 Contract No. means of either ropes or nails. All employees entering on tanks deeper than 4 feet will wear a safety harness attached to a rope. In case a employee is hurt falling into the excavation, he/she will be given first aid and if necessary, emergency help will be sought. Safe Work Around Excavations It is the responsibility of the Project Manager and assigned staff personnel to use common sense and professional judgment to prevent and correct unsafe conditions involving excavations. To provide protection for employees, subcontractors, and the public, the following precautions always will be taken where substantial excavation is required. · Before beginning excavation, Underground Service Alert or other underground utility registration services must be called to locate utility that may be within the area. A search for manholes should also be made to aid in locating utilities such as water, sanitary sewer, and storm drains. o The walls and spaces of excavations greater than 5 feet deep, must be guarded by submitting a plan and design for providing sheeting and shoring or other systems for personal protection within open excavations if entry by personnel is planned. This plan will be reviewed by competent Lutrel personnel before excavation can proceed. · Trees, boulders, and other surface objects located so as to create a hazard to employees involved in excavation work or in the vicinity thereof at any time during operations shall be removed or made safe before excavation begins. · In reviewing the excavation plan, the competent person will consider the design of the retainer system for structural safety, compatibility with the type of soil, and the safety of structures in the area. The plan must permit rehabilitation of the site, consistent with the needs of the specific project. · During construction, the Site Supervisor or Foreman must make sure the requirements and specifications of the excavation plan are being met by the subcontractor. At the end of each work day, the subcontractor is required to cover small open excavations. Where excavations intrude into streets or Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-8 Contract No. sidewalks, adequate barriers and warning devices must be in place and maintained for the life of the project. · Excavations that will require entry by personnel must be treated as a confined- space entry. The possibility of a toxic, oxygen-deficient, or explosive atmosphere requires a detailed Site Safety Plan, including sheeting and shoring requirements, and air monitoring for hazardous atmospheres or oxygen deficiency. Refer to confined space procedures as specified in appendix A. Basic Safe~. Consideration (1) Locate all surface encumbrances minimum of 2 feet away from the edge of the excavation. Trenches must be guarded on all sides. (2) Disturbed soil requires additional shoring and bracing. (3) Water intrusion into the excavation calls for special precautions. The pit or trench must be kept dry by actiYe pumping. (4) Consider and guard against cave-in hazards created by vibration from highway or railroad traffic. (5) Always install upper trench jacks before installing lower trench jacks. (6) Escape ladders, stairways, or ramps should be provided in the pit or trench more than four feet in depth and be no further than 25 feet from the working area, or closer if access and egress are restricted. These means of access and egress may not be removed while personnel remain in the excavation. (7) Prevent unauthorized access to the site, keep visitors away from excavations, and never leave a visitor unattended. (8) Unless your presence is required, stay away from excavation equipment and from the edge of excavation pits. Job Hazard Analysis Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 3-9 Contract No. (9) A competent person will inspect the excavation on a daily basis and record the condition of the excavation, adjacent areas, and protective systems (shoring, etc.) on the Tailgate Safety Meeting Form. If there is evidence of possible cave-ins or slides, all work in the excavation shall cease until the necessary safeguards have been taken. (10) All barricaded sections immediately adjacent to where pedestrians cross trenches shall be guarded with a minimum of 2 X 2 inch wooden rails from the bridge to the first adjacent barricade. This barricade shall be not less than eight feet horizontally to the top of the first barricade. (11) All pedestrian bridges shall be of sufficient strength to prevent no greater vertical deflection than 1/2 inch when a 250 pound weight is applied to the center of the bridge. (12) Handrails shall consist of intermediate and top rail on both sides of bridge. The top rail shall be a minimum of 42 inches high and be capable of withstanding a lateral force of 200 pound s against the center of the top mil.

Health and Safety Meetings Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 4-1 Contract No. SECTION 4 HEALTH AND SAFETY MEETINGS AND AUDITS 4.1 Branch Safety Meetings Lutrel has developed a comprehensive Health and Safety Program for the benefit of the employees and the Company. This is an evolving process that requires good lines of communication. Branch general-safety meetings establish these lines of communication and are the best means to convey and reinforce Company safety policy and procedures. General safety meetings also serve as a valuable source of information regarding field work conducted by our personnel and subcontractors. We need to make sure our personnel and subcontractors understand and follow basic Company safety policies and procedures and especially that they wear the basic protective equipment (i.e., hard hat, safety glasses, and steel-toed boots) and additional personal protective equipment specified in the Site Safety Plan. Safety meetings are held in each branch at least once each quarter. These meetings, conducted by the Branch Safety Officer or Branch Manager can be incorporated into a general branch meeting. All project and field employees should be present for safety meetings. The agenda of each branch safety meeting is tailored to the safety concerns of the branch. Branch safety meetings discuss the effectiveness of Lutrel Health and Safety Program and what changes or improvements could be made. New safety policies and procedures are discussed in detail in safety meetings. Also, results of periodic inspections, and illness or injury investigations will be discussed in these meetings. 4.2 Project Safety Meetings This Site Safety Plan describes the expected hazards to be encountered on-site and the measures that will be implemented to protect personnel adequately. This plan is of little value unless this information is communicated to workers. The Project Manager provides the Site Safety Plan to the Site Safety Officer (generally on-site foreman, geologist, or engineer) and explains it in detail. The Site Safety Officer then must conduct a project Safety Meeting prior to starting work. The project safety meeting for this project will include training in the following (as required by Contract). Health and Safety Meetings Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 4-2 Contract No. · Names of employees and alternates responsible for safety and health. · Acute and chronic effects of exposure to petroleum products, benzene, and other hazardous substances that may be present. · Their rights and responsibilities under OSHA. · Monitoring procedures. · SSHP · Standard operating procedures. · Engineering controls. · Personal protective equipment. · Medical program. · Decontamination. · Emergencies. · Site control measures. A training log shall be maintained. This log shall contain the following information: name of employee, duration of training, and date of training. This training shall be conducted by the Regional Health and Safety Coordinator for all on-site employees and visitors prior to entering the site. In addition, fit-checking of respiratory protective devices will be conducted as part of the safety meeting when the use of a respirator may be required. 4.3 Tailgate Safety Meetings At the beginning of each shift and as often as necessary to ensure safety, the Project Manager/Site Safety Officer will conduct an area survey/site inspection to locate and identify work-place hazards and determine appropriate control measures. A Tailgate Safety Meeting shall be conducted at least once a week and whenever new personnel arrive at the job, in accordance with company directives. Hazards associated with the Health and Safety Meetings Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 4-3 Contract No. different phases of work will be addressed in these pre-job tail gate safety meeting. The tailgate safety meeting will address the following issues: · Review of the Site Safety Plan. · Description of assigned tasks and their potential chemical, physical or environmental hazards. · Identification of methods and precautions to prevent injuries. · Coordination of activities. · Planning for emergencies. · Getting worker feedback on safety conditions. · Getting worker feedback on how well the Site Safety Plan is working. On-site safety meetings are documented using the Lutrel Tailgate Safety Meeting Form. 4.4 Safety Inspection A safety inspection will be conducted by the Site Safety Officer daily. The Regional Health and Safety Coordinator will conduct a safety inspection at least once in two months. Refer to Appendix D for Lutrel's Tailgate Meeting and Safety Inspection Form. Air Sampfing Program Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 5-1 Contract No. SECTION 5 AIR SAMPLING AND SCREENING PROGRAM Air monitoring may be done to establish breathing zone concentrations of toxic substances, levels of oxygen, and flammable materials, toxic substances in confined spaces, and concentrations of air contaminants migrating off the site. The chemical hazards involved with this work are primarily organic fuels which are flammable and volatile. Air monitoring will be done to measure the total organic vapors present, to detect the presence of explosive gases in the atmosphere and to keep track of the percentage of oxygen in air. 5.1 Air Monitoring Instrumentation The main instruments that will be used for Air Monitoring will include: Flame Ionization Detector -- with a dynamic range of 1 to 10,000 ppm which will be calibrated using certified gas standards. Colorimetric Benzene Indicator Tubes -- leak test will be performed according to manufacturer's instruction. Low Flow Air Sampling Pump for Integrated Air Sampling ~ charcoal filters will be used and the samples will be analyzed by a AIHA certified laboratory using NIOSH Method 1500. Combustible Gas Indicator ~ will be used to measure both percentage of LEL in the atmosphere and the percentage of oxygen in air. Its use will be mandatory in confined space entry. All air monitoring readings will be taken in the breathing zone of the employee nearest to the hydrocarbon source on the downwind side. If there is no wind or if no employees are standing downwind, then readings will be taken in the breathing zone of the employee nearest to the visible hydrocarbon contamination. Air Sampling Program Petro July 1994 Project No. Page 5-2 Contract No. 5.2 Action Level Instrument Used Sample Frequency Action Taken THC less than 150 ppm At least once every hour Workers will be in Level D or protection. Continue monitoring Benzene detector tube less with FID. less than 0.5 ppm FID indicates THC greater Grab samples will be than 30 ppm collected for benzene using calorimetric indicator tubes, if detector tubes indicate benzene less than 0.5 ppm-Level D protection. FID indicates THC equal to At least twice every hour Level C protection includes or greater than 150 ppm full facepiece respirator with or organic vapor cartridges. Benzene detector tubes indicates greater than 0.5 ppm and less than 1 ppm. FID indicates THC equal to At least once every 15 Level C protection - Don or greater than 300 ppm minutes full facepiece respirator with and less than 1,500 ppm organic vapor cartridges. Benzene detector tubes Initiate integrated air sampling equal to or greater than for benzene at the exclusion 1 ppm and less than 5 ppm zone perimeter and from workers. FID indicates THC greater Continuous Stop work operations or than 1,500 ppm or less than upgrade to Level B protection. 3,000 ppm Continue integrated air sampling for at least benzene as mentioned in the above step. FID indicates THC Continuous Stop work due to explosion concentrations greater hazard 3,000 ppm 5.3 Air sampling in confined space Lutrel will test for explosive gases and oxygen content of the air inside the confined space using a Combustible Gas Indicator which indicates the LEL percentage and the percentage of oxygen in air and a Flame Ionization Detector which gives the concentration of organic vapor in the air. Air Sampling Program Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 5-3 Contract No. If testing indicates the presence of less than 19.5% oxygen, or more than 5% of the lower explosive limit (LEL), or Total Hydrocarbons in concentrations greater than 150 ppm, then the confined space will be ventilated with equipment rated for Class I Division II atmospheres until testing shows that levels are within permissible limits. Continuous ventilation will be maintained with Class I Division II rated ventilators. If mechanical ventilation does not control air contaminants to within the PEL's, employees will wear SCBA's or supplied air respiratory protection to enter the confined space. Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 6-1 Contract No. SECTION 6 PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS (Refer to Appendix E for PPE Use Program) 6.1 Introduction It is important that personal protective equipment and safety requirements be appropriate to protect against the potential hazards at the site. Protective equipment has been selected based on the contaminant type(s), concentration(s), and routes of entry. In situations where the type of materials and possibilities of contact are unknown or. the hazards are not clearly identifiable, a more subjective determination will be made on-site by the Site Safety Officer of the personal protective equipment. 6.2 Level of Protection As described in section 5 (Air Monitoring Program) appropriate Levels of Protection will be followed depending on the air monitoring results. In the support zone protection will include hard hats and leather or steel toed boots. Level D PPE is a minimum requirement for all RESNA personnel not working in contaminated areas. Level D protective clothing will include: Safety glasses and ear protection (when eye or hearing hazards are imminent) Nitrile overgloves Silver shield gloves (if contamination is indicated by air monitoring) Hard hat Steel-toed boots with steel shanks Long-sleeved shirts Modified Level D will include all the above mentioned PPE in Level D, and chemical resistant clothing (Tyvek, yellow Tyvek or Saranex). Some of the tasks involve working with liquids and hence workers will make sure to wear splash resistance eyeglasses. Some of the work may involve using hand tools and hence cotton gloves will be worn with chemical resistant gloves for firm grip. Level C protective clothing will include: Full face air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges Tyvek/Yellow Tyvek/Saranex Chemical Resistant Suit Nitrile Overgloves Silver Shield gloves (depending on contamination identified) Cotton inner gloves Steel-toed boots with steel shanks/PVC boots Hard Hat Level B protective clothing will include: Protective Equipment- Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 6-2 Contract No. Pressure demand SCBA or supplied Air Yellow Tyvek Saranex Chemical Resistant Suit Nitrile Over/gloves Silver Shield gloves depending on contamination identified) Cotton inner gloves Steel toed boots with steel shanks Hard Hat Task Specific PPE Requirement Based on the work plan the following PPE have to be worn as a minimum protection.

Work Zones Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 7-1 Contract No. SECTION 7 WORK ZONES 7.1 Work Zones Controls The site will be controlled to reduce the possibility of exposure to any contaminants present and their transport by personnel or equipment from the site. The possibility of exposure or translocation of contaminants will be reduced or eliminated in a number of ways including the following: Setting up security or physical barriers to exclude unnecessary personnel from the general area. This will be accomplished by the use of existing fencing and barricades with caution tape. All signs and labels will be printed in bold large letters on contrasting backgrounds. As per the contract specification the perimeter will be marked with colored caution tapes. Signs reading "Hazardous Area - Keep Out" will be posted every 100 linear feet around the perimeter and at the entrance of the path. Before the underground storage tanks and soil removal operation begin, the boundary of the excavation will be marked with colored caution tape. Signs reading "Authorized Personnel Only" will be posted every 100 linear feet around the excavation (hot zone). Signs reading "No Smoking" will be posted at the entrance of the decontamination zone and the exclusion zone. In case of sites that are located close to high foot traffic areas, a fence 6 foot high with caution tape will be posted. Conducting operations in a manner to reduce the exposure of personnel and equipment. Minimizing the airborne dispersion of contaminants. Implementing appropriate decontamination procedures. Ensuring that employees wear the PPE needed for the zone they are in. Ensuring that employees access points for movement of personnel and equipment between zones and on and off the site. Work Zones Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 7-2 Contract No. 7.2 Field Operations Work Zones Work areas (zones) will be established based on anticipated contamination. Within these zones prescribed operations will occur utilizing appropriate personal protective equipment. The planned zones are: 1. Exclusion Zone 2. Truck Loading Zone 3. Contamination Reduction Zone; and, 4. Support Zone (non-contaminated). 7.2.1 Exclusion Zone The exclusion zone is the innermost area and is considered dirty or "hot." On this project, it includes the interiors of the sumps and the secondary containment areas around the tanks. Owing to the diversity of the known tank locations, it is not possible to specify exact dimension of the exclusion zone. However, the site safety officer will decide on these parameters prior to the initiation of work.. 7.2.2 Truck Loading Zone The truck loading zone will encompass the area where trucks are loaded. Only trucks that are being loaded will enter this zone and Lutrel will make sure to minimize the time spent by the track drivers in this zone. 7.2.3 Contamination Reduction Zone The contamination reduction zone will encompass the area between the exclusion zone and the support zone. The purpose of this zone is to provide an area to prevent or reduce the transfer of contaminants that may have been picked up by personnel or equipment returning from the exclusion area. All decontamination activities will occur in this area. 7.2.4 Support Zone The Support Zone is considered a non-contaminated or clean area and is all other areas within the fenced property boundaries other than the exclusion zone, truck loading zone, and the contamination reduction zone. All the sanitation facilities will be included in the support zone. Level D (as outlined in Section 6) will be a minimum requirement for all Lutrel personnel within this area. Work Zones Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 7-3 Contract No. 7.2.5 Confined Space Lu~el shall ensure that safety barriers with appropriate warning signs are erected at the entrance and exit of a confined space. Refer to Appendix A for confined space procedures that will be followed on this project. Decontamination Procedures Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 8-1 Contract No. SECTION 8 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES To prevent or reduce the physical transfer of contaminants by people or equipment from on-site, procedures will be instituted for decontaminating anything leaving the exclusion area and the contamination reduction area. These procedures include the decontamination of personal protective equipment, monitoring equipment, air gear, pumps and hoses, cleanup equipment, etc. Unless otherwise demonstrated, everything leaving the exclusion area will be considered contaminated, and appropriate methods will be followed for decontamination. All water used for decontamination will be collected separately in drums. In general, decontamination at the site consists of washing the equipment with a non- phosphate biodegradable detergent. This will be followed by a water rinse and air drying. Drop cloths, galvanized tubs, wash solutions, rinse solutions, brushes including long handle, short handle, and bristle brushes, paper cloth towels for drying protective equipment, metal or plastic cans, plastic sheeting will be some of the decontamination components that will be used. Heavy equipment will be decontaminated using a steam cleaner, without detergent. The decontamination station will be set up in the decontamination reduction zone that will be specifically marked and is between the hot zone/exclusion zone and the support zone. The decontamination station will be located upwind and upgrade of the hot zone. Unless impractical, the decontamination will be performed only at one location. All materials and equipment that are considered single-use (i.e., Tyvek suits and gloves) will be placed inside lined, properly labeled, 55-gallon drums. These will be disposed of at the proper TSD facility by Lutrel or other arrangements will be made for proper disposal of these protective garments. Decontamination is divided into personnel decontamination, and equipment decontamination. 8.1 Personnel Decontamination After exiting the exclusion zone, personnel will decontaminate, at a minimum in the following sequence: 1. Deposit equipment used on-site (tools, sampling devices and containers, monitoring instruments, clipboards, etc.) on plastic drop cloths. Segregation of contaminated equipment at the drop zone reduces the probability of cross contamination. During hot-weather operations, a cool-down station may be set up within this area. Decontamination Procedures Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 8-2 Contract No. 2. Remove hard hat and place in a separate container. 3. Scrub outer gloves and boots (or boot covers) with decontamination solution or TSP detergent and uncontaminated water. Two tubs will be used for employees to step on during scrubbing and rinsing. Rinsing will be done using uncontaminated water. The rinse water will be collected in a 55-gallon labeled drum. The water will be disposed of appropriately after it has been properly tested for the presence of contaminants. (This process explained above is sufficient to take a break. If employee has to leave work or enter support zone, then in addition the following procedures should be followed). 4. Remove and discard Tyvek suit (if wearing) and deposit in a appropriate container. 5. Remove disposable outer boot covers, gloves and tapes. Deposit in a appropriate container 6. Remove hearing protection and deposit in appropriate container 7. If wearing respirator, then remove respirator, wash, rinse, hang to dry (if worn). Avoid touching face with fingers when removing. 8. Remove inner gloves. Deposit in an appropriate container, if disposable. If reusable, then scrub and rinse for later use. 9. Thoroughly wash hands, face and neck. 8.2 Equipment Decontamination 1. Chemical splash protective goggles will be worn during all equipment decontamination steps. 2. Equipment will be considered decontaminated if it is visibly clean. 3. Equipment such as drill rigs, trucks, backhoe, forklift will be decontaminated at the site. Physical removal of gross contamination (chunks of dirt) includes using the following tools. Brooms, scrapers rags, and waste bag/containers.

Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-1 Contract No. SECTION 14 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE Lutrel personnel and subcontractors engaged in project operations shall be participants in the Medical Surveillance program, and must be cleared by the examining physician(s) to wear respiratory protection devices and protective clothing for working with hazardous materials. 14.1 Specific Project Requirement In this project if a employee develops a lost time injury or illness during the period of this contract, the supervisor will be provided with a written statement signed by the physician prior to 'allowing the employee to return to the work site 'after illness resulting in a lost time workday. 14.2 Physicians Opinion Medical surveillance is an important part of Lutrel's Health and Safety Program. We track the health of our employees through the use of pre-employment and periodic medical examinations and laboratory tests. This medical surveillance program helps Company physicians: · Determine a base line picture of an employee's health against which future changes can be measured. · Identify underlying illnesses or conditions that might be aggravated by certain exposures or job activities. · Recognize abnormalities, toxic reactions, or other changes in an employee's health at the earliest opportunity so corrective measures can be taken. · Determine an individual's fitness for duty, including the ability to work while wearing personal protective clothing and respiratory equipment. Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-2 Contract No. The Company physician must be informed by Lutrel of the duties that will be performed by the employee so the physician can make a sound judgment concerning whether or not these activities would put the employee at risk. The Branch Safety Officer provides the following information to the examining physician: · A copy of the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard (29 CFR 1910.120). · A brief description of the employee's duties as they relate to potential hazardous exposure. · A brief description of personal protective equipment (e.g., respirator, Tyvek coveralls) that the employee may be required to use. Our medical examinations are conducted in facilities with medical professionals experienced in occupational medicine. All medical examinations and procedures are performed by or under the supervision of a licensed physician who is knowledgeable in occupational medicine. Medical exam are provided without cost to the employee, without a loss of pay, at a reasonable time and place. The physician and clinic utilized by this Lutrel branch is: Doctor: Dr. Jorge Del Toro Clinic: Southwest Urgent Care Address: 5397 Truxtun Ave Bakersfield, California 93309 Phone: (805) 322-2273 Dr. Del Toro has been briefed on the hazards involved in this project. Refer to end of this section for the certified letter stating that Dr. Del Toro has been briefed on the site conditions and is aware of the hazards involved in this project. 14.3 Frequency of Medical Examination The Lutrel Medical Surveillance Program applies to employees working in the field or supervising field activities. The following schedule for physical examinations is observed: (1) Pre-employment Physicals (2) Annual physicals for personnel who do any field work. (3) Exit physicals for applicable employees leaving Lutrel. (4) Non-Scheduled Medical Surveillance Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-3 Contract No. All employees who are injured, became ill, are overexposed to a hazardous material, or develop signs or symptoms due to possible overexposure involving hazardous substances or health hazards from an emergency response or hazardous waste operation will be immediately accompanied to a medical facility for evaluation. 14.4 Minimum Testing Required Lutrel requires the examination to include the following minimum testing: Pre-Employment and Exit Physical Examinations (1) Health history (2) Physical exam (3) Blood chemistry, blood lead, zinc protoporphyrins, PCB, RBC cholinesterase, plasma cholinesterase (4) Urinalysis (5) Chest x-ray (6) Audiometric testing (7) EKG (resting) (8) Pulmonary function, FVC and FEV Annual Physical Examination (1) Health history update (2)' Physical exam (3) Blood chemistry, blood lead, zinc protoporphyrins, PCB (as indicated), RBC cholinesterase (as indicated), Plasma cholinesterase (as indicated) (4) Urinalysis (5) Pulmonary function, FVC and FEV (6) Audiometdc testing Additional tests may be requested by Lutrel depending on the hazardous materials the employee has encountered over the period. Some OSHA standards require specific medical testing when an action level of employee exposure is reached. The Branch Safety Officer will send employees to the Company physician when necessary. 14.5 Emergency Medical Treatment Emergency facilities and contact agencies (which include local hospital facilities, state highway patrol, local fire/paramedics, and local law enforcement agencies) have been established in Section 12. These facilities and agencies will be utilized in the event of an employee injury or illness requiring emergency medical care beyond the capabilities of on-site first aid trained personnel. Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-4 Contract No. 14.6 Drug and Alcohol Program Lutrel has a substantial interest in maintaining a safe working environment for all employees. An employee who abuses drugs and alcohol (even during non-working hours) may threaten the safety and productivity of co-workers, the stability of the work place, and the environment. Drug and alcohol abuse impairs vision, hearing, attention span, muscle coordination and alertness. Even slight impairment can cause serious accidents. To help insure a safe work environment, it is the policy of Lutrel to prohibit its employees and the employees of its contractors and/or subcontractors from using, being under the influence of, possessing, selling, distributing, or transporting any controlled substance or prohibited items (as defined below) while on the job, on Company-owned, leased, Occupied, or operated property, or while in or aboard Company vehicles of any kind (hereinafter called "Company premises") or any time that would result in a "positive" controlled substance screen. Such use, possession, sale, distribution, and/or transportation of such substances or items by any person poses a serious threat to the safety of employees, contractor/subcontractor employees, visitors to the Company's operations and/or facilities, and the environment. The only exception to this prohibition is when alcohol is served with the permission of management at a Company function. It is not the Company's intent to interfere with employee conduct while off the job; however, since employees are accountable for their job performance, off-the-job alcohol or drug use which adversely affects job performance or jeopardizes an employee's safety, the safety of others, or the safety of the environment on the job violates this policy and will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. For many of these same reasons, some of the Company's clients (contractors) are requiring documentation that the Company's employees who perform work on the clients' (contractors') projects are drug-free. To comply with such requirements, employees working on those clients' (contractors') projects will be required to take a controlled substance screen (drug test). Any employee who must use prescribed drugs or narcotics during work, with certain exceptions, must report this fact to the Safety Officer along with acceptable medical documentation. A determination will then be made as to whether the effects of the drug or narcotic will pose a potential safety risk in light of the nature of the employee's work assignment. Excepted medications are those which do not pose any potential safety risk regardless of work assignment, examples of which include birth control pills and most antibiotics. Nothing in this Policy is intended to diminish the Company's commitment to employ qualified handicapped individuals or to provide accommodation to such individuals. Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-5 Contract No. 14.6.1 Disciplinary Action Causes for Immediate Discharge The first violation of this Policy will result in immediate discharge, whenever the prohibited conduct: (1) Caused injury to the employee or any other person, or, in the sole opinion of management, endangered the safety of the employee or any other person; (2) Resulted in significant damage to Company property or equipment, or, in the sole opinion of management, posed a risk of significant damage; (3) Involved the sale or manufacture of controlled substances or other prohibited items; (4) Involved the possession, distribution, or dispensation of controlled substances or prohibited items on Company premises; (5) Involved an employee who had not completed the introductory period or was a casual, seasonal, or temporary employee. Discretion Not to Discharge In circumstances other than those described above, the Company, at the discretion of management, may choose not to discharge an employee for a f'u'st violation of this Policy or a positive drug screen if the employee either (1) satisfactorily completes participation in an approved drug or alcohol abuse assistance program when recommended by the Company, or (2) consistently passes random drug screens over a period of six months. Employees who have a positive drug screen are not permitted to drive any vehicle for company business until they have a negative drug screen and provided they pursue one of the previous two options. 14.6.2 Drug and/or Alcohol Screens As Required by Contract -- Many of the Company's clients (contractors), due to safety and health hazards posed by the types of jobs we perform, require employees performing those safety-sensitive jobs to be tested for alcohol or drugs as a condition of employment on their projects. The Company will test employees as required by contract for any client that makes this a condition of work. Volunteers will be solicited to participate in the controlled substance screening (drug and alcohol testing) program. In the event a sufficient number of employees fail to volunteer and pass this test, the Company may, for business reasons, choose to require employees as a condition of employment, to be tested for drugs and alcohol. Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-6 Contract No. ' 14.6.3 Drug and Alcohol Screen Procedures Samples will be collected by persons independent of the employer in a private, medical setting. The collection site should use a standard urine custody and control form. Copies of the form are submitted to the laboratory, the physician, the employee, the collection site (if distinct from the physician), and the employer. Samples will be sent to a NIDA-certified laboratory for analysis. Drug testing laboratories are required to retain and place in secured long-term frozen storage, for a minimum of 1 year, all specimen confirmed positive. 14.6.4 Reporting and Review of Results A licensed physician will be responsible for receiving laboratory results generated by Lutrel's drug testing program. Each branch office will select a physician who will receive and review positive test results for possible alternate medical explanations. In this effort, the physician must give the individual an opportunity to discuss the test result with her/him. If the physician determines that there is a legitimate medical explanation for the positive test results, the physician must report the test result to Lutrel as negative. The reviewing physician will report test results to only the employee and the Branch Safety Officer. Employees have the option of requesting an immediate retest. The report to the Branch Safety Officer should identify only the drugs/metabolites tested for, whether positive or negative, and the cut off for each, the specimen number assigned by the employer, and the drug testing laboratory specimen identification number. Substance Cut-off Levels Marijuana ............................................................. 15 ng/ml Cocaine .............................................................. 150 ng/ml Opiates: Morphine ..................................... 300 ng/ml Codeine ....................................... 300 ng/ml PCP ....................................................................... 25 ng/ml Amphetamines Amphetamine ................... 500 ng/ml Methamphetamine ........... 500 ng/ml A positive sample is any sample whose apparent concentration of analyte is greater than or equal to the pre-established cut-off concentration for that analyte. All samples are subject to an initial and a confirming analysis. Lutrel will only use laboratories certified under the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drag Testing Programs. Medical Surveillance Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page 14-7 Contract No. Alcohol will be tested using a urinalysis or a non-intrusive alcohol screening method such as a saliva screen or Breath Analyzer. A "positive" identification on the screening test will be confirmed with a calibrated Breath Analyzer. Results exceeding .04 gm/dl will be considered positive. 14.6.5 Confidentiality Results of controlled substance screens will be kept confidential, under the control of the Office and Corporate safety officer. Disclosures made by employees concerning their use of legal drugs will be treated confidentially and will not be revealed to managers or supervisors unless there is an important work-related reason to do so. Disclosures made by employees to the Safety Officer concerning their participation in any drug or alcohol rehabilitation program will be treated confidentially. 14.6.6 Treatment Availability Any employee experiencing problems resulting from drug, narcotic, or alcohol abuse or dependency should seek counseling from his/her supervisor or the Human Resources Department. Such counseling is to be kept confidential and is to have no influence on performance appraisals. Job performance alone, not the fact that an employee seeks counseling, is to be the basis of all performance appraisals. An employee who is diagnosed as a drug user or alcoholic may be granted a leave of absence to undertake rehabilitation treatment. Such employee must cooperate fully with the treatment process and will not be permitted to return to work until a release from treatment is presented to the Human Resources Department certifying that the employee is rehabilitated and capable of returning to work. The Company provided medical coverage offers alcohol and drug treatment programs for any employee needing this service. See your Human Resources Manager for assistance or contact the insurance company directly for information.

Print Name Signature Date Project Safety Plan approved by: Bill Rosica, Regional Health Mark Lutrel, Corporate Vice-President Safety Coordinator Confined Space Entry Requirements Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page A-1 Contract No. APPENDIX A CONFINED SPACE ENTRY I. Purpose To provide a procedure for the safe entry of confined spaces to effect repairs, maintenance, inspection, or testing. Scope This procedure applies to all Lutrel operations. As per the DEH Coordinator contract specifications ( Section 1700, page 8a), confined space is limited to the concrete tank removal and the removal of fuel tanks located within vaults (this has been based on the anticipation that high airborne contaminant concentrations will not be encountered). RESNA will follow all OSHA guidelines in making decision as to whether a specific excavation will be considered a confined space or not (will be based on OSHA definition given below). All required air monitoring (explained below in detail) will be conducted as per the procedure prior to entry and during the confined space operation. Ladders will be placed on either side of the excavation for the purpose of easy egress and ingress. From the information obtained on the tanks assigned under the contract, entry into tanks J-l, J-2, J-3 (concrete vaults) , A-l, E-8 and Area G may be considered as a confined space operation. IlL Procedure A. Definition of Confined Space - For the purposes of this procedure, a confined space is defined as any space, open or closed, in which poisonous gases or flammable vapors were present or might accumulate or where a deficiency of oxygen levels might occur. These spaces include, but are not limited to, tanks, tank tracks, vats, tubs, receivers, hoppers, bins, boilers, kilns, or similar vessels; also included are stacks, chimneys, sewers, trenches, pits, sumps, manholes, etc. that have restricted egress and ingress potential. Confined Space Entry Requirements Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page A-2 Contract No. B. Section IV of this instruction establishes the rules which must be followed in entering a confined space. Each jobsite must be surveyed for enclosed spaces to ascertain whether or not the minimum requirements can be met. Where these general safety rules cannot be met, site specific written procedures must be defined to ensure the safety of entering employees, and they must be submitted for management approval. Variations requested must be fully explained in an accompanying letter. C. No employee shall enter a confined space without reviewing the confined space entry procedures with the operations supervisor/foreman. Management must approve entry into confined spaces. Each employee assigned to confined space entry work, along with the standby observer, must be thoroughly briefed on the procedures for entry, the work to be performed, and the emergency procedures to be followed in the event of an accident or incident. D. Confined space entry at any time other than the normal day shift shall be avoided as much as possible. Under extreme conditions, if entry during evening hours is absolutely necessary, additional prior authorization of management is required before entering enclosed spaces. Before any such authorization is given, management shall be satisfied that there will be adequate, competent assistance available on site in the event of an emergency. The on-site presence of the initiating supervisor/foreman is mandatory for the duration of the work. E. The supervisor or foreman shall be fully responsible for ensuring that all safety conditions and practices continue to be met for the duration of the work. F. Every attempt has been made to make the rules established by this procedure as foolproof as possible. However, there is no substitute for intelligent planning and constant alertness in every confined space entry situation. In addition to rigid enforcement of this procedure it is essential that all persons involved in each confined space entry job recognize the extreme hazard involved and act according. Enforcement of these minimum safeguards will, under no circumstances, be considered as relieving those involved from responsibility for any unplanned development or circumstance. Conlrmed Space Entry Requirements Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page A-3 Contract No. IV. Rules The following rules apply to all confined spaces unless specific variations have been received, in writing, from the office. A. General Rules 1. All sources of ignition will be removed from confined spaces where flammable vapors may be present (e.g., lighters, torches, strikers, etc.). 2. All provisions of the lock out procedure will be satisfied, where applicable (See Procedure III - G, Line Breaking Procedures). 3. Tanks, including jackets and other interconnecting equipment, will be cleaned by washing, neutralizing and purging as much as possible to eliminate all noxious, poisonous, or flammable materials. 4. All pipes directly connected to the confined space, such as chemical, steam, purge, treating agent, and exit lines will be blanked or removed. Where this is not possible, double block valves with a bleed between is acceptable. 5. Confined spaces must be tested for flammable vapors, toxic gases, and oxygen deficiency prior to entry. A initial reading will be taken for benzene using the draeger tube. Testing for flammable vapors, total organic vapors and oxygen will be done continually during the confined space operation and the draeger tube reading will be taken initially and every one to two hours depending one the need. In addition, the monitoring devices will continually monitor the confined space atmosphere for the duration of the entry. An audible alarm will sound on the test unit when either the oxygen content falls below 19.5% or the flammable vapor rises above 5 % of the L.E.L. (Lower Explosive Limit). 6. No confined space will be entered where the oxygen content is less than 19.5% unless positive pressure air-supplied respiratory protection is used. 7. No welding, cutting or use of spark producing tools will be permitted in any confined space where the flammable vapor concentration is or rises above zero on the test unit. Confined Space Entry Requirements Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page A-4 Contract No. 8. Where the formation of hydrogen is a possibility as in acid service, wash water must be checked for neutrality. 9. A constant source of fresh air, introduced in such a manner as to ensure a complete air exchange (introduced near the bottom of the vessel), must be provided for all enclosed vessels. 10. Employees working in the confined space must be under the constant observation of a competent employee stationed outside the confined space. 11. Every person entering an enclosed space (tank, etc.) must wear a rescue harness with life line attached. 12. When a ladder is required to enter a vessel, the ladder must be secured at the top and must not be removed while anyone is inside. 13. Adequate illumination must be provided. Approved low voltage (24 volts or less) protected type must be employed. 14. All electrical equipment to be used inside a vessel must be in perfect condition and properly grounded (exception is double insulated electrical tools). 15. The following rules apply to welding and burning equipment. a. Welding and burning equipment other than torches, hoses, cables and electrodes will not be taken into any vessel. Gas cylinders and/or welding machines will be left outside the vessel. b. Welding and burning elements used inside a vessel must be provided with quick shut-offs simultaneously controlled by the operator and the stand-by observer. c. When gas welding or burning is suspended for an indefinite period of time, the gas supply is to be shut off at the cylinders and the torch removed from the vessel. 16. Additional equipment at the job site must include extra rope, harnesses, air supplied respiratory protective equipment and air operated alarm horn. Cont'med Space Entry Requirements Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page A-5 Contract No. B. Standby Observer Rules 1. Employees working inside a confined space must be under constant observation of a fully instructed observer. The observer should be trained in first aid procedures in the event rescue becomes necessary. 2. Before anyone enters the confined space the standby observer will be instructed by the supervisor/foreman in charge of the entry to: a.

You, as the operator, are responsible for knowing the proper operating signals as they apply to that type equipment you are operating. B.2 Truck/Forklift Safety Oil, water, and the brakes shall be checked before starting the engine. Before moving any truck, a check for clearance around the vehicle from any obstructions or personnel shall be performed. Walk around the truck. Drivers shall, unless specifically instructed, exit the cab when the truck is being loaded. Overloading of trailers shall be prohibited. Passengers are not to ride on the running boards. Always set the hand brake and lock ignition before leaving the truck at the end of the shift. All regulations and traffic laws shall be strictly obeyed. B.3 Backhoe Safety Use an approved roll bar and seat belt for safe operation. Overturning a tractor without a roll bar can result in death or injury. Always use the seat belt with the roll bar. Do not use the sea belt if the roll bar is removed from the tractor. Use the handholds and step plates when getting on and off the tractor to prevent falls. Keep steps and platform cleared of mud and debris. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on the tractor. There is no safe place for extra riders. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety decals. See list of decals on Page 103. Keep safety decals clean of dirt and grime. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-5 Contract No. The cooling system operates under pressure which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Always turn cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap entirely. Do not smoke while refueling the tractor. Keep any type of open flame away. Wait for engine to cool before refueling. Keep the tractor in good operating condition for your safety. An improperly maintained tractor can be hazardous. Keep open flame away from battery or cold weather starting aids to prevent fires or explosions. Use jumper cables according to instructions to prevent sparks which could cause explosion. Stop the engine before performing any service on the tractor. Escaping hydraulic/diesel fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. · Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. · Stop engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting lines. · Tighten all connections before starting engine or pressurizing lines. If fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result. Do not attempt to service the air conditioning system. It is possible to be severely frostbitten or injured by escaping refrigerant. See your dealer for service. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter this tractor or any of its components or any tractor function without first consulting a Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer. The fuel oil in the injection system is under high pressure and can penetrate the skin. Unqualified persons should not remove or attempt to adjust a pump, injector, nozzle or any other part of the fuel injection system. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury. Apply the parking brake, and place the transmission in neutral before starting the tractor. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-6 Contract No. Do not start the engine or operate controls while standing beside the tractor. Always sit in the tractor seat when starting the engine or operating controls. Do not bypass the starter neutral switch. Consult your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer if your starter safety controls malfunction. Use jumper cables only in the recommended manner, improper use can result in tractor runaway. Do not get off the tractor while it is in motion. Shut off the engine and apply the parking brake before getting off the tractor. Always apply the parking brake and remove the starter key when leaving the unit parked or unattended. Never leave the unit when it is parked on an incline. Always park the unit on level ground where possible. If the unit is to be parked on an incline, always lower the buckets so that the cutting lips contact the ground, apply the parking brake, and securely block the wheels. Do not operate the tractor engine in an enclosed building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes can suffocate you. If power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the tractor immediately. Drive the tractor with care and at speeds compatible with safety, especially when operating over rough ground, crossing ditches, slopes and when turning to avoid upsets. Lock tractor brake pedals together when transporting on roads to provide two wheel braking. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going downhill as used when going uphill. Do not coast or free wheel down hill. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds that of the towing tractor must be equipped with brakes for safe operation. Always check overhead clearance especially when transporting the tractor. Always be sure of water, gas, sewage and electrical line locations before you start to dig. Watch out for overhead and underground high-voltage electrical lines when operating the loader or backhoe. Operate the loader or backhoe controls only when properly seated at the controls. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-7 Contract No. Never attempt to lift loads in excess of loader or backhoe capacity. Always lower the loader and backhoe buckets to the ground, shut off the engine and apply the parking brake before getting off the unit. Always be watchful of bystanders when operating the loader, when lowering the stabilizers, or when operating the backhoe. Use care when operating on steep grades to maintain proper stability. Always carry the bucket as low as possible. Never attach chains, ropes, cables, etc. to the loader or backhoe for pulling purposes. Do not transport anyone in the loader bucket. Always carry the loader bucket low for maximum stability and visibility, whether the bucket is loaded or empty. Always use the recommended amount of counterweighting to ensure good stability. Be careful when handling round objects such as round bales, poles, etc. Lifting too high or rolling bucket too far back could result in these objects rolling rearward down the loader arms on the operator. Never allow anyone to get under the loader bucket or reach through the lift arms when the bucket is raised. Exercise caution when operating the loader with a raised loaded bucket or fork. Never allow anyone to get under the backhoe bucket when the bucket is raised. To prevent upsets avoid full reach and swinging the backhoe bucket to the downhill side when operating on a slope. Watch out for overhead and underground high-voltage electrical lines when operating the backhoe. Do not enter the platform from the rear. Always attach the backhoe transport chains before transporting the unit. Always place the torque converter shut lever in neutral before operating backhoe. Never make repairs or tighten hydraulic hoses or fittings when the system is under pressure, when the engine is running or when the loader or backhoe cylinders are under a load. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-8 Contract No. Always keep the brakes and power steering system in good operating condition. Do not lubricate or make mechanical adjustments while the unit is in motion or when the engine is running. However, if minor engine adjustments must be made, apply the parking brake, securely block the wheels, and use extreme caution. Be certain that the loader is fully lowered or supported so that it cannot fall. For safe operation, observe proper maintenance and repair of all pivot pins, hydraulic cylinders, hoses, snap rings, and main attaching bolts prior to each day's operation. Always wear safety goggles when servicing or repairing the machine. When necessary to two the tractor, do not exceed 5 mph (8.0 kph). Avoid towing the tractor over long distances. Adequately block up the backhoe or loader when they are detached from the tractor. Whenever servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, buckets, etc., always use a brass drift and a hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury from flying metal fragments. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combinations can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. Such blends are more explosive than pure gasoline in a closed container such as a fuel tank. Do not use these blends. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel the tractor with the engine running or hot. Do not smoke while refueling or when standing near fuel. Maintain control of the fuel filter pipe nozzle when filling the tank. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If the original fuel tank cap is lost replace it with a Ford approved cap. A non-approved, proprietary cap may not be safe. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained. Do not drive equipment near open fires. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-9 Contract No. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter-grade fuels are not held over and used in the spring. B.4 General Drill Rig Safety Hard hats must be worn. All team members must be known the procedure to shut the rig off and the location of the "kill" switch. When moving a rig off the road, pay attention to obstacles in route of travel. Walk the intended route first. Have someone guide the rig driver when clearance is at a minimum or when hazards are in close proximity. Set rig brakes and block the wheels when rig is set up at the desired drilling location. The mast must be lowered when the rig is moved. Always consider overhead wires to be live, watch for sagging lines and do not operate rig within 15 feet of overhead lines. Make sure the site, platforms and walkways are free of obstructions. Make sure proper housekeeping is practiced around and on the rig at all times. Tools should be stored in a manner that permits convenient access and provides for adequate safety. Store gasoline in approved containers that have a spark arrestor and keep them clear of the drilling work area. Check rig equipment prior to starting work. Repair or replace faulty and worn items. Handle augers with care. Use prior lifting techniques when picking up samplers and augers. Use a tool hoist if possible and say clear of rotating augers. Keep cables and ropes secured when not in use. Level and stabilize the drill rig prior to raising the mast. Watch for slippery ground when working in the area of the rig. All unattended boreholes must be properly covered. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-10 Contract No. Do not drill during an electrical storm. Maintain a safe distance from the rig mechanisms during drive sampling and auger removal operations. Safety Checks for Drill Rig · Kill switches tripped and operation verified · Chain and belt guards in place · Belts set to proper tension (visual) · Presence of any fluid leaks · Any damaged hoses, cables, ropes, chains · Control panel is clean · Control lever functions labeled · Pressure relief valves function · Cathead free of rust and grease · Cathead grooves less than 1/8 inch in depth · All tools in proper working order · Rig leveled and stabilized · Check for weld cracks in mast · Safety hooks operational B.5 Hoisting Equipment Safety Load capacities, determined by the performance test, recommended operating speeds, and special hazard warnings or instructions will be posted where clearly visible to the operators of cranes and derricks and posted on hoist and elevator cars and platforms. At no time will a crane be loaded in excess of the manufacturer's rating except during performance tests. Test loads will not exceed that specified by the ANSI B30 series requirements for a particular crane type. No modifications or additions which affect the capacity or safe operation of the equipment will be made without the manufacturer's written approval. If such modifications or changes are made, the capacity, operation, and maintenance instruction plates, tags or decals, will be changed accordingly. In no case will the original safety factor of the equipment be reduced. All load drums on load-hoisting equipment will be equipped with at least one positive holding device. This device should be applied directly to the motor shaft or some part of the train gear. Braking equipment capable of stopping, lowering, and holding a load of at least the full test load will be provided. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-11 Contract No. There will be at least two full wraps of cable on the drums of hoisting equipment at all times. Riding on loads, hooks, hammers, buckets, material hoists, or other hoisting equipment not meant for personnel handling is prohibited. While hoisting equipment is in operation, the operator will not perform any other work and he/she will not leave his/her position at the controls until the load has been safely landed or returned to ground level. A standard signal system will be used on all hoisting equipment (APP B). Whenever a slack line condition occurs, prior to further operatiOns, the proper seating of the rope in the sheaves and on the dram will be checked. Crane booms will be lowered to ground level or secured against displacement by wind loads or other outside forces when not in use. All government-owned mobile cranes and derricks with booms (except draglines) will be equipped with a boom angle indicator and a load indicating device or a load limiting device to prevent loading beyond the anticipated load at any boom radius and counterweight position. Except as modified by this manual, the manufacturer's specifications and limitations applicable to the operation of any and all cranes, derricks, hoists, and elevators will be followed. Where manufacturer's specifications are not available, the limitations assigned to the equipment will be based on the determinations of a qualified engineer competent in this field and such determinations will be documented and recorded. Attachments used with cranes will not exceed the capacity, rating, or scope recommended by the manufacturer. All windows in crane cabs will be of distortion free safety glass, or equivalent, that will not interfere with the safe operation of the machine. The hoist rope will not be wrapped around the load. Hoisting ropes will be installed in accordance with the wire rope manufacturer's recommendations. Adequate clearance will be maintained between moving and rotating structures of the crane and fixed objects to allow the passage of employees without harm. All mobile cranes with cable-supported booms (except draglines) will be equipped with boom stops to resist the boom falling backwards. At the angle specified by the crane manufacturer, the boom stop will limit the movement of that portion of the boom below Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-12 Contract No. the point at which the boom stop acts on the boom. The boom stops will provide energy withstanding resistance to the backward movement of the boom through an angular movement of approximately the last 5 degrees (over travel) about the boom foot pin. The boom stop manufacturer will verify that the boom stop has been designed, functionally tested and manufactured such that it will fulfill the requirement of SAE J220, Crane Boom Stops (May 1971). (Per 1971 cranes will essentially meet the requirements of SAE J220 except for paragraph 4.1 .) Also, a crane/boom stop field test will be conducted. To verify the proper setup of the boom stops and functioning of the boom hoist disengaging device. This test will be conducted prior to initiating the load performance test required by EM 385-1-1 Sections 18.C.01 and 18.D.01. Deficiencies noted should be corrected prior to the load performance test. All cranes with cable support booms (except draglines) will be equipped with a properly functioning boom hoist disengaging device which will automatically and completely disengage the boom hoisting power from the boom hoist drum when the boom has reached its highest rated angle. When power is thus disengaged, the boom hoist drum will automatically be restrained from motion in the lowering direction under any rated condition. All cranes will, at all times, have a current set of operator manual(s) (instructions) for the particular model/type/class crane. Operator manual(s) must be located in the crane cab prior to testing and must remain there. When operator manual(s) are not in the language of the operator, basic operating instructions must accompany the manual and be presented in a manner (language and/or diagrams, pictures, sketches, etc.) the operator can comprehend. If the manual(s) and/or basic operating instructions become unavailable due to unusual circumstances (stolen, lost, mutilated, destroyed, etc.) then a deadline for replacement will be established by the designated authority. All new (trainee) hoisting operators will receive at least 40 hours of on-the-job training under direct supervision before being considered qualified to operate hoisting equipment as a licensed operator. Crawler, Truck, and Wheel-Mounted Cranes Performance test of crawler, truck, and wheel-mounted cranes will demonstrate the strength, stability, capability, and adequacy of power, brakes, clutches, and controls to safely maneuver 125 percent of the anticipated load. The stability part of the test may not be required if: the manufacturer's load-rating chart is securely fixed to the operator's cab, there has been no change in the boom or other structural numbers, and there has been no change in counterweight. Stability tests will be conducted in accordance with the SAE recommended Crane Load Stability Test Code - SAE J765. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-13 Contract No. Auxiliary load-handling devices such as buckets, magnets, load falls, signs, load blocks, hooks and pile-driver leads will be included as part of the load. A means will be provided for the crane operator to visually determine the levelness of the crane. A boom angle or radius indicator will be provided within operator's view. All crawler, truck, or locomotive cranes in use will meet the requirements for design, inspection, construction, testing, maintenance, and operation in ANSI B30.5, Safety Code for Crawler, Locomotive and Truck Cranes. All mobile hydraulic cranes in use will meet the applicable requirements of ANSI B30.15., Safety Standard for Mobile Hydraulic Cranes. (B30.15 is scheduled to be superseded by an updated B30.5.) Draglines will meet Power Crane and Shovel Association Standard No. 1. All jibs will have positive stops to prevent their movement of more than 5° above the straight line of the jib and boom on conventional crane booms. Side boom cranes mounted on wheel or crawler tractors will meet the requirements of SAE J743b. Mobile cranes will not pick or swing loads over the side of the crane unless the outriggers (if so equipped) are down and fully extended. Lattice and hydraulic crane equipment will be equipped with an upper limit device to stop the load hoisting function before the load block or load contacts the boom tip. (See ANSI B30.2) Portal, Hammerhead, and Tower Cranes Performance test will demonstrate the strength, stability, capability, and adequacy of power, brakes and clutches, and controls to safely maneuver 125 percent of the anticipated load. Traveling cranes, except floor-operated type, will be equipped with a warning device that will sound continuously while crane is traveling. Track riding cranes will be provided with substantial rail scrapers or track clearers at each end of the tracks which will be effective in both directions of travel. All hammerhead tower cranes in use will meet the requirements for design, construction, installation, testing, maintenance, inspection, and operation as prescribed by the manufacturer. Buffers will be provided at both ends of travel of the trolley. Heavy Equipment and Tool Safety Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page B-14 Contract No. Cranes mounted on rail tracks will be equipped with limit switches limiting the travel of the crane on the track and stops or buffers at each end of the tracks. All portal, tower, and pillar cranes in use will meet the requirements for design, construction, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation, in ANSI B30.4, Safety Standards for Portal, Tower and Pillar Cranes.

Load-radius chart and boom angle or radius indicator will be provided within operator's view. All derricks in use will meet the requirements for design, construction, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation in ANSI B30.6, Safety Code for Derricks. Floating Cranes Barge-mounted cranes, designed and constructed as a unit, will be rated by the manufacturer. All other barge-mounted cranes will be on barges of sufficient size to limit list under load to about 5 degrees. The rated load of the crane will not exceed the original capacity specified by the manufacturer. Work will be halted when significant wave action exists. A load-radius chart and boom angle or radius indicator will be provided within operator's view. When load ratings are reduced to stay within the barge list limits, a new load rating chart will be provided. Truck and crawler cranes will be securely attached to the barge. When stability of barge is not a factor and control barriers are provided, limited travel may be authorized by the designated authority. The rated load of a barge-mounted mobile crane will not exceed the original capacity specified by the manufacturer. Line Breaking Precautions Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page C-1 Contract No. APPENDIX C LINE BREAKING PRECAUTIONS Purpose To establish a procedure to safely break into process piping systems. Il. Scope This procedure applies to all Lutrel operations. m. Procedure Breaking a line is, in essence, breaking into a closed system. Regardless of the checking done and the instruments used, it must be assumed that at the point where the line is to be broken there is product or gas that will escape. A. Breaking lines which have ever contained a liquid or gas which is corrosive or toxic, or which presently contains hot materials, must be treated as a SPECIAL HAZARD. The following precautions must be taken in line breaking operations: 1. A "line breaking checklist" must be completed. 2. Competent supervision must be on the jobsite when a hazardous line is broken. Arrangements to provide this supervision on off-shifts and. weekends must be made. 3. A water hose shall be provided at the point of line breaking. The water shall be running or the hose valved at the end. 4. Where applicable, a lockout procedure shall be employed to deactivate pumps, blowers, etc. 5. The line shall be drained completely, making certain that valves are left open to prevent the possibility of an air lock. 6. The portion of the line being worked on shall be isolated from those adjacent to it in the most effective way. Valves which are closed shall be chained and locked to prevent inadvertent opening. Line Breaking Precautions Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page C-2 Contract No. 7. Before the moment of breaking occurs, the area shall be set up for maximum protection to passersby and nearby workers. Shielding and roping off shall be effected. A funnel or suitable container to collect drainage will be used where applicable. 8. Protective equipment shall be worn when hot, corrosive, or toxic materials are or may be present. THE MINIMUM EYE PROTECTION IS A FULL FACE SHIELD WORN OVER SAFETY GLASSES, OR GOGGLES OVER SAFETY GLASSES. In addition, the following safety equipment is required: a. A hard hat b. A full length raincoat (or jacket and pants) which fastens to the neck. Clothing shall be of suitable, chemically resistant materials. c. Gauntlet type rubber gloves. d. Rubber boots or overshoes high enough to be covered by the raincoat (or pants). e. Where the possibility of inhalation exists, suitable respiratory protection shall be worn. The type of equipment used will be dictated by the material encountered and the severity of the exposure potential. f. Where severe and continuing sprays or heavy gassing occurs or is anticipated, fully enclosed rubber suits with appropriate self-contained breathing apparatus will be worn. 9. It is difficult to prescribe a general set of rules covering the precise and safest way to effect all line openings. However, the best standards applicable to the particular job shall be followed, including: a. Loosening the bolts of a flange which are farthest from the employee first. b. Shielding whenever possible, including the partial use of flange covers. Stand aside to avoid any spray. c. Washing out the lines and fittings with water, with the exception of water reactive chemicals, at least twice. (When in doubt, consult Management.) Contaminated water should be captured on-site for disposal. Dismantled lines and fittings should be free of contaminant before being removed from the jobsite. This applies if the parts are to be scrapped for salvage. Line Breaking Precautions Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Pa'ge C-3 Contract No. d. Flange spreaders shall be used for opening flange joints whenever possible and practical. When it is not possible to use flange spreaders, only standard wedges shall be used as an alternative. A chain or strong, flexible wire shall be secured to the wedge, the other end firmly secured to a fixed object to prevent the wedge from flying in the event it slips from the joint. e. Whenever possible, old flange bolts shall be removed one at a time and replaced with new bolts which can be gradually loosened as the wedge is being inserted. This will prevent sudden opening of the joint, particularly when it is under stress. The use of drift pins, cold chisels, spud wrenches, and similar tools as alternates is strictly forbidden. 10. Line breaking checklists shall be used as follows: a. When a checklist is used, it shall be filled out completely. b. A checklist covers a single shift only. If the work goes into a second shift, a new checklist shall be completed for work performed during that shift. c. The checklist must be signed by the supervisor or foreman. d. When a job is completed, the checklist forms need to be submitted to the office. Line Breaking Precautions Pctro Chcm July 1994 Project No. Page C-4 Contract No. IV. Special Precaution - Flammable Liquid or Gas Lines A. Where it is necessary to burn flange bolts off, or to use welding equipment for other purposes, the following procedures are mandatory: 1. Welding and burning procedures must be followed to the letter (III-F). 2. The line must be broken at the nearest flange without the use of a burning torch. 3. If the line cannot be broken without burning flange bolts, all flange bolts must be replaced one at a time without separating the flanged joint. 4. The line, when separated, must remain open to the atmosphere. The remaining portion of the line not being worked on must be blanked. 5. Explosive meter tests must be conducted by a qualified person. If an explosive mixture is detected, the line must be purged with an inert gas. Personal Protective Equipment Petro chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-1 Contract No. APPENDIX E PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PROGRAM E.1 Introduction and Regulations 29 CFR 1910.120 (g) (5) requires that a written personal protective equipment program be part of the employer's Health and Safety Program. This section of the Safety Manual complies with that requirement. Anyone entering an uncontrolled hazardous waste site must be protected against potential hazards. The purpose of personal protective clothing and equipment is to shield or isolate individuals from chemical, physical, and biological hazards presented at hazardous waste sites. Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be carefully selected to adequately protect the following: · Respiratory system · Feet and hands · Skin and body · Head · Face and eyes · Hearing Lutrel complies with numerous regulations that require employers to provide PPE and training for employees. Some of the applicable Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations for the proper use of PPE are listed in Table 1. Federal standards have similar or slightly more stringent counterparts in Title 8 of the California Administrative Code. For the sake of simplicity, only federal regulations are listed in Table 1. Field employees using PPE must understand that no one piece of protective equipment, nor single combination of equipment and clothing, can protect against all threats. PPE is always limited in scope and is usually only effective for a limited time. Thus, PPE should be considered to be the last option for protection. PPE should be used in conjunction with other protective methods such as safety procedures, alternative remedial actions, and engineering controls. Levels of exposure should be lowered as much as feasible before resorting to PPE.

Using PPE itself creates significant hazards such as heat stress, physiological stress, and impaired visibility, mobility, and communication. In general, as the level of protection increases, so does the extent of the associated hazard. Care must be taken to choose an adequate level of protection, avoiding over- protection. E.2 PPE Objectives The two basic objectives of the PPE program are (1) to protect the wearer from environmental threats and (2) hazards associated with PPE use. To accomplish these goals, a comprehensive safety program has been developed that includes medical monitoring, hazardous materials identification, environmental surveillance, and conscientious PPE selection, use, and decontamination. These topics are discussed in this Safety Manual. The Personal Protective Equipment Program section of this Safety Manual focuses on the following: · Selection and use of PPE · Selection of an overall level of protection (ensemble) · Proper use of PPE including: - Training - Work mission duration - Personal use factors - Donning and doffing - In-use monitoring - Inspection - Storage and decontamination Disposal - Maintenance Use of respirators Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-3 Contract No. E.3 PPE Selection PPE is selected by the Project Manager and Branch Safety Officer primarily on the basis of hazard anticipation, observation, and assessment of the various work assignments. Some of the criteria for PPE selection are listed below. Additional PPE equipment may be used at the discretion of the individual employee. No less than the regulatory requirement for PPE is allowed. · PPE is selected and used that will protect personnel from the hazards and potential hazards identified during site characterization. · PPE selection is based on an evaluation of the performance characteristics of the PPE relative to the requirements and limitations of the site. · Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive pressure air-line respirators equipped with an escape air supply are used for all immediately dangerous to life or health situations (IDLH). · Totally encapsulating chemical protective suits (Level A protection) are required in conditions where skin contact with contaminants may result in an IDLH situation. · The level of protection provided by PPE is increased when additional information or site conditions show that increased protection is necessary to reduce personnel exposures to below permissible limits. · Air monitoring is used to identify and quantify airborne levels of hazardous substances and health hazards to determine the appropriate level of employee protection needed on-site. As a first step, air monitoring is conducted to identify IDLH or other dangerous situations (flammable atmospheres, oxygen-deficient environments, and toxic levels of airborne contaminants). · Pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.120 (h) (3) at a minimum, periodic air monitoring is required when (1) the possibility of an IDLH condition or flammable atmosphere has developed or (2) when there is indication that exposures may have risen since prior monitoring. Required situations where it shall be considered that exposures may have risen are: (1) work begins, (2) work begins on a different portion of the site, (3) contaminants other than those previously identified are being handled, (4) a different type of operation is initiated, (5) personnel are handling leaking drums or containers or working in areas with obvious liquid contamination (spill or pond), a sufficient reasonable interval has passed so that exposure may have significantly increased. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chcm July 1994 Project No. Page E-4 Contract No. · Pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.120 (h)(4), after commencement of site activities, personnel likely to have the highest potential exposures are monitored for hazardous substances and health hazards likely to be present above established permissible exposure limits by using personal sampling frequently enough to characterize employee exposures. The employer may utilize a representative sampling approach by documenting that the employees and chemicals chosen for monitoring are based on the criteria stated above. E.4 PPE Ensembles Defined by EPA The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established guidelines for the selection of PPE for hazardous waste sites. The EPA classifies four levels of protection, referred to as A, B, C, and D. The level of protection chosen for a specific hazardous waste site should meet the criteria established by the EPA. Each level requires specific PPE; however, a site may require equipment from different levels. The choice of PPE may overlap levels of protection, provided the equipment is appropriate and meets the criteria for safe use in the situation. Lutrel issues Level C equipment to field personnel. The work done by Lutrel does not usually require further protection. The Site Safety Plan lists the required equipment; additional PPE is issued when necessary. Each project should be reviewed periodically to be sure that appropriate protective equipment is being provided and worn. The following pages summarize the Environmental Protection Agency's levels of protection. (Definitions: Use criteria are conditions that a particular level of protection is effective against. Limiting criteria are conditions that should be present before a particular level of protection is indicated.) Level A Protection Level A protection should be worn when the highest level of respiratory, skin, and eye protection is needed. Required: · Pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) · Fully encapsulating, chemical-resistant suit · Inner and outer chemical-resistant gloves · Chemical-resistant boots with steel toes and shanks · Two-way radio communications · Hard hat Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-5 Contract No. Optional: · Coveralls · Long cotton underwear · Disposable protective suit worn over the fully encapsulating suit · Gloves and boots worn over the gloves and boots required above Protection provided: The highest level of respiratory, skin, and eye protection. Use criteria: The chemical substances potentially require the highest level of protection for skin, eyes, and the respiratory system. Or known or potential presence of toxic chemical that can injure or be absorbed through the skin. Or atmosphere immediately dangerous to life and health. Or work that must be conducted in confined, poorly ventilated areas, until the absence of hazards requiring Level A protection is demonstrated. Limiting criteria: N/A . Level B Protection Level B protection should be selected when the highest level of respiratory protection is need, but a lesser level of skin protection is acceptable. Level B protection is the minimum level recommended on initial site entries until the hazards have been further defined by on site studies and appropriate personnel protection utilized. Required: · Pressure-demand SCBA · Chemical-resistant clothing (coveralls; hooded or two-piece chemical splash suit; disposable, chemical-resistant coveralls) · Inner and outer chemical-resistant gloves · Chemical-resistant boots with steel toes and shanks · Hard hat Optional: · Coveralls · Disposable outer boots · Face shield Protection provided: The same level of respiratory protection but less skin protection than Level A; Level B is the minimum level recommended for initial site entry until the hazards have been further identified. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-6 Contract No. Use criteria: The types and atmospheric concentrations of toxic substances have been identified and require the highest level of respiratory protection, but a lower level of skin and eye protection. Atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen. Or concentrations of known gases exceed limits that require Level C protection. Limiting criteria: Gases and vapors are not suspected of containing high levels of chemicals that can injure or be absorbed through the skin, and the work to be done will not generate dust or liquid splash in sufficient quantity to affect exposed skin. Level C Protection Level C protection should be selected when the type(s) of airborne substances are known, the concentrations are measured, and the criteria for using air- purifying respirators are met. Required: · Full-face, air-purifying, canister-equipped respirator. · Same protective clothing as Level B (chemical-resistant clothing; chemical-resistant gloves; chemical-resistant boots with steel toes and shanks; and a hard hat). Protection provided: The same level of skin protection as Level B but lower level of respiratory protection. Use criteria: Danger of splashing will not adversely affect any exposed skin. Limiting criteria: Atmosphere contains at least 19.5 percent oxygen. The types of air contaminants have been identified and the concentrations measured, and a canister is available that can remove the contaminants. Airborne contaminants possess properties that warn of exposure. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-7 Contract No. Level D Protection Level D protection should not be worn on any site with respiratory or skin hazards. It is primarily a work uniform for potentially contaminated sites. Required: · Coveralls · Chemical-resistant boots with steel toes and shanks · Safety glasses or chemical-splash goggles · Hard hat Optional: · Gloves · Outer chemical-resistant disposable boots (required if leather boots are worn) Protection provided: No respiratory protection; minimal skin protection. Use criteria: This level should not be worn in the exclusion zone. Limiting criteria: Atmosphere contains at least 19.5 percent oxygen. Atmosphere contains no known hazard. Work functions preclude splashes, immersion, or the potential for unexpected inhalation of chemicals. Only boots may be contaminated. fi.5 Inspection of Protective Clothing After the Branch Safety Officer has determined what protective clothing must be worn for personal protection on-site, this clothing must be examined for defects. The following checklist for inspecting chemical protective clothing should be reviewed both immediately before use and periodically when not in use: · Spread suit on a flat surface · Examine suit for the following: - Fabrics and seams for abrasions, cuts, holes, or tears - Seams for separations - Zippers and other connecting devices for proper sealing and operation - Signs of previous chemical attack or incomplete decontamination - Exhaust valves (if applicable) for inhibiting debris and proper functioning Fully encapsulating suits need additional, regular inspection. This inspection should include the following: Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-8 Contract No. · Using an air source, seal and inflate suit. Check for leaks on surface and seams using a mild soap solution. Alternately, the suit can be checked for small holes by placing a flashlight inside the suit in a dark room and looking for pinpoints of light from outside the suit. · Record each suit's use, inspection, and repair status if reusable. · Return reusable suits to factory annually for a thorough inspection. Hand Protection: Gloves should be inspected prior to each use. Inflate the gloves and check for small holes or holes. Eye Protection: Ensure lenses are not scratched or cracked, and that the frame fits without slipping. Foot Protection: Ensure that laces are in place and in good condition. Protective toe or shank should not be damaged. The sole must not be loose and the sole tread should be clean of debris and not overly worn. Head Protection: Inspect daily for cracks, sharp edges, missing pieces and proper fit. E.6 Respiratory Protection Lutrel's respiratory protection program is part of Lutrel's overall effort to provide a safe and healthful workplace. Respiratory protection is of primary importance, because the lungs present the body's greatest exposed surface area and their proper functioning is critical to life. The Regional Health and Safety Coordinator is responsible for updating the Company Respiratory Protection Program. The Branch Safety Officer is responsible for implementing the Program at the branch level, and maintaining each Branch's respiratory equipment. This Program has the following objectives: · Establish written standard operating procedures governing the selection, use, and maintenance of respirators. · Establish minimum training requirements for personnel using respirators. · Specify proper use and limitations of respirators. · Establish minimum guidelines for medical surveillance related to respirator program. · Serve as a reference for fit-testing, cleaning, and storage of respirators. Personal Protective Fxluipment Petro Chcm July 1994 Project No. Page E-9 Contract No. Respirators are not issued to employees until an occupational physician, approved by Lutrel, conducts a complete physical and finds that the employee can wear PPE and wear a respirator. After this clearance, the following required training is provided by the branch safety officer. This training is also provided on an annual basis as a part of the 8- hour HAZWOPER refresher training. · Applicable OSHA regulations 1910.134 and 1910.120 · Nature of respiratory hazards to be encountered in the work environment and how to select proper respiratory equipment · Use of respirators and individual fit-testing. · Capabilities and limitations of respirators, warning properties of contaminants. · Cleaning, disinfection, inspection, maintenance, and storage of respirators Respiratory protective devices (respirators) consist of a facepiece connected to an air or oxygen source. The three major categories of respirators differ with respect to the air or oxygen source: · Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) supplies air from a source carded by the user · Air-line respirators (ALR) supply air from a remote source connected to the user by a hose or "umbilical cord" · Air-purifying respirators allow user to inhale "purified' ambient air. Because ALR and SCBA both supply air to the user, they are often referred to as supplied- air respirators. Respirators are further differentiated by the type of air flow supplied to the facepiece: · Negative-pressure respirators (also referred to as demand respirators) draw air into the facepiece via the negative pressure created by user during inhalation. The disadvantage of demand respirators is that, if leaks develop in the system because of an ill-fitting mask or facepiece, the user draws contaminated air into the facepiece during inhalation. · Pressure-demand respirators maintain a slight positive pressure in the facepiece during both inhalation and exhalation. A pressure regulator and exhalation valve on the mask maintain positive pressure in the facepiece. If a leak develops, the regulator sends a continuous stream of clean air into the facepiece preventing penetration of contaminated ambient air into the facepiece. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-10 Contract No. · Continuous-flow respirators send a continuous stream of air into the facepiece. Continuous air flow prevents intrusion of contamination within the facepiece but exhausts the air supply much more rapidly than positive-pressure or negative-pressure respirators. Different types of face pieces are also available for the various types of respirators: · Full face pieces cover the face from the hairline to below the chin. They are recommended for use on uncontrolled sites because they provide respiratory and eye protection. · Half-mask face pieces cover the face from below the chin to over the nose. They can be used when airborne contaminants have been identified and are judged unlikely to irritate the eyes. Only respiratory equipment jointly tested and approved (must meet requirements specified in 30 CFR 11) by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) may be used. NIOSH/MSHA approval numbers are clearly written on the device or package of approved respiratory equipment. The Branch Safety Officers purchase only NIOSH/MSHA-approved respiratory equipment as allowed by Lutrel. Protection Factor Protection factors are jointly derived by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for respiratory protection devices. The protection factor (PF), described by a number, is an estimate of the overall level of protection provided by the respirator. The protection factor assigned depends on the fit cartridge efficiency (air-purifying respirators only), air source and type of air flow. The number indicates the relative difference in concentrations of substances outside and inside the facepiece that can be maintained by the respirator. The following are the ANSI/NIOSH-assigned protection factors for the most commonly used respiratory-protection systems: Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-11 Contract No. Table E-2 ANSI/NIOSH Assigned Protection Factors Facepiece Protection Factor Respiratory Protection System Pressure ANSI NIOSH Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) - open-circuit, positive-pressure, full facepiece + 10,000 10,000 - open-circuit, negative pressure, full facepiece _ 100 50 Air-Line - positive-pressure, full facepiece with escape + I0,000 10,000 provision - positive-pressure, full facepiece without+ ..... 2,000 escape provision - negative-pressure, full facepiece _ 100 50 Ak-purifying - Negative-pressure, gas- and vapor-removing, _ 10 50 full facepiece - Negative-pressure, gas- and vapor-removing, _ 10 10 half mask facepiece To decide if the type of respiratory protection apparatus provides adequate protection for the intended use, multiply the protection factor by the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV), or NIOSH- recommended exposure limit (REL). The lowest value (PEL, TLV, or REL) should be used to decide if protection is adequate. Do not use the respiratory protection apparatus if the protection factor is inadequate for the given contaminant level expected or encountered. An adequate protection factor is provided against the contaminated atmosphere using the chosen type of respiratory protection apparatus when the product of the protection factor (of the type of unit) and exposure limit is greater than the ambient concentration of the contaminant encountered. Example: PF x PEL (or TLV, REL) > ambient concentration Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-12 Contract No. The protection factor can be compromised in several situations, however; most notably these occur (1) if the respirator is not properly fit, or is not worn properly, (2) if a worker has a high respiration rate or (3) if the ambient temperature is high or low. For example, if a worker's respiration rate exceeds 67 liters per minute, many positive-pressure respirators will fail to maintain positive pressure during peak inhalation. This "inboard" facepiece leakage occurs in both ALR and SCBA. If this occurs, the positive-pressure respirator offers no more protection than a similarly equipped negative-pressure respirator, resulting in a reduction of the protection factor from 10,000 to approximately 50. Actual protection reduction is difficult to estimate and would vary from unit to unit. Respirator Selection Respirators must be selected based on a decision logic similar to that provided in the American National Standard Practices for Respiratory Protection Z88.2-1969. The selection sequence for routine use is as follows: 1) Consider skin irritation and sorption of the material through the skin. 2) Odor, taste, or irritant effects are not detectable and persistent at concentrations below the permissible exposure limit -eliminate aH air purifying respirators. 3) Eye irritation-eliminate or restrict the use of half-mask respirators. 4) Presence of unidentified contaminants or contaminants in unknown concentrations-eliminate all air-purifying respirators. 5) Atmosphere less than 19.5% oxygen or IDLH levels-eliminate all air-purifying respirators 6) Presence of incompatible contaminants that might react in the cartridge or canister to produce a toxic or hazardous condition 7) Relative humidity greater than 65 percent 8) List all respirators which offer protection below the PEL for the likely airborne contaminant level. List appropriate cartridges for air-purifying respirators if available. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-13 Contract No. Air-Purifying Respirators Level C protection uses air-purifying respirators. An air-purifying respirator can be used only if the atmosphere in which it is to be used has 19.5% oxygen or greater, and if the contaminant is not at IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) levels. Air-purifying respirators will not provide adequate protection unless properly fitted initially and prior to each use. The protection afforded the wearer depends on the fit. The contaminated ambient air must be pulled through the cartridges to purify the air. Leakage from a poor fit will allow some contaminated ambient air to be breathed in directly, providing reduced protection. When a site's hazards require that self-contained or air-line-supplied air systems be used, the Branch Safety Officer conducts or coordinates site-specific safety training with emphasis on the respiratory hazards. The rest of the Respiratory Protection Program will focus on air-purifying respirators; however, most of the information is equally applicable to supplied-air systems as well. Also, for the remainder of this section, respirator will be understood to mean "air-purifying, half-face respirator" unless stated otherwise. Half-face air-purifying respirators are issued to field employees (after training and medical clearance) to limit exposure from toxicants such as harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors that are associated with occupational disease. The primary objective is to prevent or reduce atmospheric contamination as far as feasible through engineering and other control measures. When control measures are not practical or are inadequate, respiratory protective equipment may be required. Capabilities and Limitations Air purifying respirators cannot be used safely unless the wearer understands their capabilities and limitations. If respirators are used improperly, serious injury or death may result. Air purifying respirators are not intended for and may not be used in atmospheres that are, or may become, immediately dangerous to life or health or in atmospheres where the identity or concentration of the contaminants is unknown; in these cases Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) must be used. Cartridges or canisters and filters for respirators are selected and supplied to employees by the Branch Safety Officers. Failing to use a respirator equipped with cartridges or filters suitable for the contaminants in the atmosphere may result in little or no protection. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-14 Contract No. Assuming that the respirator is properly fitted, in good condition, free from leaks, and has the proper cartridges for the contaminants present, the length of time the respirator will provide protection also depends on the conditions of use. The conditions of use include but are not limited to the following: · The concentration of contaminants in the atmosphere · The temperature and humidity of the ambient atmosphere · Previous use of the cartridges or filters · The elapsed time since the removal of the cartridges or filters from their protective packaging · The emotional and/or physical state of the wearer · The level of physical activity of the wearer. Cartridges designed to protect the wearer against airborne particles are not appropriate for protection against gases and vapors. Cartridges designed and specified for protection against specific gases and vapors are not appropriate for protection against airborne particles or other gases or vapors beyond the scope of that type of cartridge. Every cartridge is labeled with specific instructions defining the use and limitations of that particular type of cartridge. If the label is missing or the type of cartridge is inappropriate, it must not be used; it will provide little or no protection to the wearer. Identification of Ca~idges for Respirators The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires manufacturers to label and color-code cartridges according to OSHA regulations. This requirement allows the user of respirators to recognize the type of cartridge and intended use regardless of the manufacturer. At a minimum, the labeling must state: "cartridge for (name of atmospheric contaminant)" or "type X gas mask canister." The labeling will also give a maximum level of contaminant for which the cartridge or canister is effective. There will be breakthrough of the contaminant if the maximum is exceeded. The following is from Table I-1 of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134. Personal Protective Equipment Pctro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-15 Contract No. Color Coding Color coding of canisters is required as follows: Atmospheric Contaminant Color Assigned Acid Gases - White Hydrocyanic Acid Gas - White with 1/2-inch green stripe completely around the canister near the bottom Ch]orine Gas - White with 1/2-inch yellow stripe completely around the canister near the bottom Atmospheric Contaminant Color Assigned Organic Vapor Black Ammonia Gas Green Acid Gas and Ammonia Gas - Green with 1/2-inch stripe completely around the canister near the bottom Carbon Monoxide - Blue Acid Gases and Organic Vapor - Yellow Hydrocyanic Acid Gas and - Yellow with 1/2-inch blue stripe completely Chloropicrin Vapor around the canister near the bottom Acid Gases, Organic Vapor, and Brown Ammonia Gases Radioactive Material Purple (Magenta) (except Tritium and Noble Gas) Particulates (dust, fumes, mist, fog, Canister color according to contaminant or smoke) with l/2-inch gray stripe completely around cartridge near the top All of the above atmospheric - Red with l/2-inch gray stripe completely contaminants around the canister near the top Gases not listed above - Orange, see canister label for specifics Personal Protective Fxluipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-16 Contract No. Do not rely on color-coding alone. The instructions must be on the cartridge and checked specifically for use and limitations. If the instructions on the cartridge are missing, the cartridge must be discarded. E.7 Danger Signals Indicating Possible Respirator Failure If the following danger signals are experienced while wearing a respirator, immediately return to fresh air. The cartridges or filters may be inappropriate or used up, or abnormal conditions may be creating vapor concentrations that are beyond the limitations of the cartridges or filters. · Smell or taste chemicals or if eyes, nose, or throat become irritated · Difficulty breathing · Breathing air becomes uncomfortably warm · Headaches, dizziness, cramps, nausea, or blurred vision · Changes in complexion or skin color · Changes in motor coordination, personality, or demeanor · Changes in speech ability or pattern · Excessive salivation or changes in pupillary response. · Any suspected respirator malfunction At a minimum, cartridges must be replaced at the end of each 8-hour shift. fi.8 Fit Testing Respirators As discussed earlier, the protection afforded the wearer by air-pu.rifying respirators depends on the fit as well as other parameters. A poorly fitting respirator will provide little or no protection. For this reason, employees with beards or long sideburns that may interfere with a respirator's face-sea may not participate in activities that require the use of a respirator. Furthermore, federal law (29 CFR 1910.134 ) states, and Lutrel requires that "wearing of contact lenses in contaminated atmospheres with a respirator shall not be allowed." The following procedure is used by the Branch Safety Officers to fit employees: (1) The employee is allowed to pick the most comfortable respirator from a selection of various sizes from different manufacturers. (2) The selection process is conducted in a separate room from the fit-test area to prevent odor fatigue. The employee is shown how to put on a respirator, how it should be positioned on the face, how to set strap tension, and how to assess the comfort level of the respirator for working conditions. A mirror is available for employee use. (3) Fit-testing begins with a half-mask. If a good fit cannot be obtained, the employee will be tested with full-face respirators. The employee understands that the purpose of this exercise is to obtain a good, comfortable fit. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-17 Contract No. (4) The employee wears the most comfortable respirator for at least 5 to 10 minutes, taking it off and on and readjUsting it as needed. (5) Assessment of comfort includes reviewing the following points, allowing the test subject adequate time to determine the comfort of the respirator: · Position of mask on nose · Room to talk · Room for eye protection · Position of mask on face and cheeks (6) The following criteria are used to help evaluate the adequacy of the respirator fit: · Chin placement · Distance from nose to chin · Strap tension · Tendency to slip · Fit across nose bridge · Self observation in mirror (7) The employee conducts the negative and positive pressure leak checks as outlined in the Qualitative Facepiece Testing section below. Fit Checking First, put on harness and pull straps equally to avoid distorting the mask. Do not over- tighten mask straps. Over-tightening the head harness will tend to distort the face seal and may cause leakage. It also causes unnecessary discomfort. (1) Check the facepiece and cartridges as described in the following section on "Inspection, Cleaning, and Storage." (2) Don facepiece with cartridge or filters. (3) Adjust facepiece without over-tightening. (4) Negative Pressure Leak Check: Close off both inlet connections with palms of hands, inhale slowly, and hold breath momentarily. No leakage should be detected and the facepiece should be drawn slightly to the face. (5) Positive Pressure Leak Check: Close opening in the exhalation valve guard by placing palm of one hand over face of guard; exhale slowly, maintaining slight positive pressure. No leakage should be detected between the face seal and the face. (6) If leakage is noted: (a) Adjust the head straps and facepiece slightly; recheck for leakage. (b) Check condition of exhalation valve and seat. Check that both inlet gaskets are present and in proper condition. In the event the facepiece cannot be adjusted in the field so there is no leakage, DO NOT ENTER THE AREA REQUIRING PROTECTION. A different style or size facepiece may be required to obtain a proper fit. Personal Protective Equipment~etro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-18 Contract No. Fit checking must take place each time the respirator is donned. Failure to perform a qualitative leak check each time the respirator is donned may result in little or no respiratory protection. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-19 Contract No. Qualitative Facepiece Testing (1) A fit-test chamber is made with a clear 55-gallon drum liner suspended above the employee's head for isolation. (2) The employee equips the respirator with organic vapor cartridges (for amyl acetate test) or HEPA filters (for irritant smoke test). (3) After selecting, donning, and properly adjusting the respirator, the employee wears it into the separate fit-testing chamber. (4) The employee wears the respirator for at least 10 minutes before starting the fit test. (5) Amyl acetate or irritant smoke is released into the drum liner or applied in the ambient air in the employee's breathing zone. (6) After entering the fit-test chamber, the employee is instructed to: - Breathe normally - Breathe deeply - Turn head in all directions; up and down and side to side - Talk aloud to test a wide range of facial expressions. (7) If the employee smells the banana-like odor of amyl acetate or reacts to the irritant smoke during the test, the respirator has failed the test and the entire process of evaluation must be repeated. (8) When a respirator is found that passes the test, the seal is broken in the chamber and the employee takes a breath to verify that he or she can still smell amyl acetate, which is an olfactory deadening agent, or the irritant smoke. (9) Properly fit-tested respirator is issued to the employee. A copy of the respirator fit check record is maintained in the employee's general safety file. Employee's may only wear respirators for which they have been fit-tested. Respirators fit should be re-tested whenever conditions have changed which might prevent a good face seal. E.9 Inspection, Cleaning, and Storage of Respirators A. Inspection (before each use) (1) Examine face seal for rips, tears, holes, deformation, or stiffness. (2) Examine facepiece plastic center shell for cracks, missing components, or damaged threads. (3) Examine harness for breaks, cuts, frays, tears, and missing or damaged hardware. Personal Protective Equipmeni"Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-20 Contract No. (4) Examine inhalation and exhalation valves and valve seats for cuts, cracks, or foreign matter that may not allow the valve to close completely. Verify that valves are properly installed and are not distorted. (5) Examine cartridges for signs of abuse or damage:~ Discard damaged items. (6) Malfunction or deficiencies involving a respirator must be reported to the Branch Safety Officer, who will issue a new respirator or correct the deficiencies with only approved spare parts from the manufacturer. Spare parts from manufacturers of other respirators may not be used. Replacement and repair is done according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. No repairs are to be done by field personnel on respirators. B. Cleaning (1) Unthread cartridges and filters (do not wash). (2) Wash the facepiece with warm water and a mild detergent at the end of each work day. Rinse in clean, warm water. Shake to remove excess water. Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. (3) The mask should be routinely disinfected monthly. A hypochlorite solution may be used (2 tablespoons of chlorine bleach to 1 gallon of water). (4) After cleaning and air-drying, verify that the facepiece is not damaged and that components removed prior to cleaning have been installed properly. C. Storage (1) Place the respirator in its storage box in a heat-sealed or resealable plastic bag. Store in a single layer with the facepiece and exhalation valve in a normal position to prevent the face seal from taking a distorted permanent set. (2) Replacement components should be stored in sealed packages in a cool, clean, low-humidity location until ready for use. The Branch Safety Officer explains the Lutrel Respiratory Protection Program in detail to new employees who will require a respirator. The employee is asked if the information is understood. If the Company physician has cleared the employee for respirator use and the Branch Safety Officer has verified the fit of the respirator, the employee will be issued a respirator. The employee and Branch Safety Officer signs and dates the Lutrel Respiratory Training Record. A copy is maintained in the individual's Branch Employee Safety File and the original is kept in the individual's Corporate Safety File in the Health and Safety Office in Fremont. A copy of the Respiratory Training Record form is attached in Appendix A. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-21 Contract No. E.IO Supplied Air Respirators A. Compressed Air Tanks (I) All compressed air cylinders used to supply breathing air to supplied air respirators will be filled with air which meets the criteria for grade "D" breathing air as specified by the Gas Associations Commodity Specifications G-7.1 (ANSI 286.1-1973). (2) A proper label must be affixed to each compressed air cylinder containing grade "D" breathing air. Any cylinder received from a supplier which lacks such a label must be treated as suspect and returned to the supplier, air-line couplings shall be incompatible with outlets for other gas systems. The air pressure at the hose connection to positive-pressure respiratory equipment shall be within the range specified in the approval of the equipment. B. Compressor Supplied Air (1) Wherever possible, breathing air compressors should be of the water lubricated (oil-less) type. (2) Air compressor intakes must be located in an area where contaminated air cannot enter the system. (3) An air receiver (tank) must be employed. It must be of sufficient capacity to enable the user(s) to escape in the event of a compressor failure. (4) Alarms to indicate compressor failure and overheating must be installed in the system. (5) All breathing air line couplings must be incompatible with outlets for other gas systems. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chcm July 1994 Project No. Page E-22 Contract No. (6) If the compressor is of the oil-lubricated type, the following additional criteria must be met: a. A high temperature alarm must be installed. b. A carbon monoxide (CO) alarm must be installed. c. Calibration of the carbon monoxide alarm is required on a regular preventative maintenance schedule at least semi-annually. d. In-line mechanical filters and air-purifying sorbent beds are required to reduce oil mist and hydrocarbon vapors to a minimum. (7) All output air from compressors used for breathing purposes must meet the requirements for grade "D' breathing air. E.11 Basic PPE Issued to Field Employee and Employee Responsibility The safe execution of projects entails training, preparation, and field implementation of Site Safety Plans and Company policy. It is the responsibility of each Branch Safety Officer to maintain an adequate inventory of safety equipment and to outfit new employees with safety equipment. It is also the responsibility of every field employee to wear required PPE in the field when requested by the Branch Safety Officer or when called for by regulations. Field employees are issued specific safety equipment and instructions when such equipment must be worn. An adequate supply of additional safety equipment is maintained in the branches for more complex projects. The following safety equipment is issued to new employees before field work and makes up the basic safety-related field attire. · Hard hat · · Safety glasses and splash goggles (Lutrel will pay for prescription lenses to be inserted in safety frames) · Steel-toed rubber boots · Safety vest · Air-purifying respirator (after completion of fit testing and training). Each Lutrel branch office is responsible for ensuring that employees are properly protected in unusual or unique safety situations; i.e., thermal clothing for extreme cold, supplied air for oxygen deficiency, etc. It is the responsibility of each employee to keep this equipment accessible and in usable condition at all times. Regardless of the purpose of the site visit, a hard hat, safety glasses, and steel-toed rubber boots are the minimum safety equipment to be worn on all projects. This requirement applies to project and staff personnel and technicians without exception. Personal Protective Equipment Petro Chem July 1994 Project No. Page E-23 Contract No. Splash goggles are issued to all field personnel and must be worn whenever there is a possibility that a contaminated fluid could be splashed into the eyes. Burns of the eyes are quite common and extremely painful and can result in partial or total loss of vision. Personnel must wear splash goggles when purging wells or other similar activities. If acidic, caustic, or toxic compounds are suspected, a full-face shield must be worn in addition to the goggles. Safety vests are issued to field personnel. The risk from moving vehicles on-site is very serious. Employees in the field must wear safety vests when moving vehicles or heavy equipment with moving parts are on-site or when the employee is working near streets or vehicle traffic. Field personnel must keep air-purifying respirators in their vehicles or with them at all times. The respirator does not have to be worn unless required by the Site Safety Plan; however, respirators must be worn if the PEL of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or TLV of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, whichever is lower, may be exceeded in the breathing zone, or when the Site Safety Officer designates that such protection is needed. The PEL and TLV are listed in each Site Safety Plan for the contaminants expected on the site. The use of a respirator is encouraged whenever discomfort is felt, even if the level is well below the exposure It is the responsibility of each employee to maintain the respirator in a usable condition. The respirator should be cleaned and inspected after each use and kept in a resealable plastic bag. A defect in the respirator must be reported to the Branch Safety Officer and a new respirator issued. No repairs are to be done by field personnel on respirators.
