Nantze, Fleet Supervisor 1420 Tuolumne, Room 300 Fresno, CA 93762 RE: Monitoring requirements for underground storage tanks. Dear Mr. Nantze: Our records reveal that no precision tank testing has been performed on'Pacific Bell's underground storage tanks 'located at 3501 Columbus St., in Bakersfield. SectiOn 2643 2(A) of Article 4; Title 23, Div. 3, Chapter 16, CCR., requires that all underground tanks that do not utilize automated leak detection shall have a precision tank t~st.annually. Additionally, pressurized piping shall be tested annually and non- pressurized piping shall be tested every three years. Pipeline leak detectors and automated leak detection systems also have to be certified to be in working order on an annual basis. Please make arrangements to bring th~ tanks into compliance with state law. If you have any questions, please call me at (805) 326-3979.

At the sites where the current installation is a double walled tank,~ which has an existing piping sump~ and tank annulus spare, we will install a Veeder-Root sump-annulus monitoring sensor, tied to the main panel for alarm purposes, should a leak occ6r. We are also installing a high level alarm system for overfill protection. The' high level alarm system consists of a series of electrical relays which use an electrical signal from the TLS250i tank gauge to activate a horn and light alarm.

To fulfill these requirements all aspects of this plan must be met with strict compliance. This plan is intended to meet the requirements of 29 CFR1910.120, EPA Standard Operating Guides for Hazardous Waste Operations (1986) and MJK Safety Policy and Accident & Injury Program (1991 update). If the scope of work requires the use of respiratory protection, the MJK Health and Safety Officer will see that the conditions set forth in 29 CFR1910.134 are met. If at any time the scope of work or site conditions deviate from those addressed in this plan, content of this plan will be re-evaluated by the Health and Safety Officer and all MJK work will cease until adequate revisions have been made. The overall objective of this plan is to provide safe working conditions for all MJK personnel, subcontractors and third party personnel at this site. It is the responsibility of the project manager to complete this plan and submit it to the Health and Safety Officer for review and authorization. 1.2 SITE INFORMATION/SITE PERSONNEL Name: SBC-BKFDCA13 REMOVE 1000 GALLON UST 3501 COLUMBUS AVENUE BAKERSFIELD, CA 93306-2715 Project Manager: Michael J. Kissick-MJK - 562/843-5480 Operations Supervisor: -Adham Noureddine- MJK 562/254-6221 Health & Safety Officer: Michael Kdssick-MJK- 562/843-5480 Site Health & Safety Officer: Adham Noureddine -MJK-562/254-6221 1.3 SITE BACKGROUND/WORK ACTIVITIES 1 Diesel Tank Removal: Complete all underground tank removal work per the project documents includei Safety and Traffic Control Barricade fencing, all necessary steel plates to cover trenching, concrete demolition, excavation, plumbing demolition, clean out and removal of one 1,000 gallon existing diesel tank. Back filling and compaction, concrete capping (slab on grade), painting, and pavement marking. The contractor shall haul off site and store all spoils. 2.0 HAZARD EVALUATION A wide range of potential chemical and physical hazards to which site personnel may be exposed are outlined by the parameters of this project. These are due both to the hazards presented by the site itself, and those, which may be encountered during tasks, anticipated in completing the required scope of work. These potential exposures include, but are nOt limited to: The following as well as those outlined in the "Job Hazard Analysis" section of the Job Book. Exposure to a variety of petroleum-based fuels and wastes, which may have been used at the site. - Cleaning and decontamination of equipment. - Heavy equipment: trenching equipment and coring equipment used to break excavate and remove concrete and/or soil. Explosion and fire risk: Trenching and sampling activities, due to the presence of volatile organic compounds. - Noise: heavy equipment may create excessive noise. - Heat stress: a hazard, which may be encountered, depending heavily on time of year and personal protective equipment requirements. - Underground/overhead Utility hazards: hazards involving underground electrical, gas or other utilities, or overhead electrical lines, may be encountered. 2.1 CHEMICAL HAZARDS There are a variety of Chemical Hazards associated with this project. Specific chemicals are described in both MJK and SBC-Bakersfield Safety Plans and special attention is directed at this time to refer to the specific sections of those plans. The Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals of concern have been provided in Appendix C. INH^IATION REFER TO APPENDICES FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SYMPTOMS/HAZARDS DERMAL CONTACT REFER TO APPENDICES FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SYMPTOMS/HAZARDS INGESTION REFER TO APPENDICES FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SYMPTOMS/HAZARDS 2.2 EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS Confined working space provides the potential for the existence of high concentrations of airborne constituents or vapors. These concentrations have the potential to exceed the lower explosive limit (LEL), the minimum concentration at which combustion of the vapors can occur, which varies for each chemical substance. Once the LEL is exceeded, the presence of sufficient heat or other energy source is all that is necessary to induce combustion, which will spread rapidly throughout the vapor "cloud," resulting in rapid release of heat, and possible explosion due to rapid expansion in a confined area. To preclude the possibility of fire/explosion, LEL readings should be taken prior to entering confined spaces. Should the LEL exceed that which is safe for entry, the area should be purged and additional monitoring performed until the area is deem safe for entry. 2.3 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY Entry into areas where entry/exit is difficult or where ventilation is insufficient to prevent oxygen deficiency or the build-up of dangerous concentrations of air contaminants, is classified as a confined space entry. Where such entries are necessary, proper care must be exercised, since inadvertent entry into a confined space may result in overexposure to toxic chemicals, or loss of consciousness due to insufficient oxygen or high levels of toxic chemicals, or even death. The presence of a confined space must be clearly recognized and proper entry procedures observed, since the presence of harmful atmospheres may not be easily detectable by an individual without the aid of special monitoring equipment. Hazards associated with entering and working in confined spaces include: - Fire - Explosion - Poisoning - Asphyxiation - Structural failure - Problems with communications - Noise General confined space safety procedures include the following: 1. An approved confined space entry permits (Form 1 [Appendix D] or equivalent). 2. Inspection of space before entering. 3. Adherence to the buddy system. 4. Continuous monitoring of conditions. 5. Ventilation of hazardous atmosphere. 6. Use of appropriate personal protective equipment. 7. Use of proper rescue procedures and equipment. Before entering a confined space, the following provisions must be met: 1. Inspect entranceway to determine structural integrity. 2. Except where physically impossible; completely isolate the space from other systems (physical and electrical). 2.3 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY - Cont'd 3. Monitor for explosive atmospheres, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and organic vapors. 4. Ascertain that appropriate personal protective equipment is available and is being used. While working in a confined space, the following provisions must be met: 1. An individual shall not be permitted to enter a confined space until a complete assessment of the space is made and specific authorization by entry permit is obtained. 2. Buddy System: - A minimum of one worker should remain outside the confined space. - Where space permits (e.g., sewers), a minimum of two workers should be involved in the task. - A worker (attendant) shall be stationed outside the confined space and shall remain outside the confined space during entry operations. - The attendant has the responsibility to terminate the operation if danger is apparent. 3. Continuous Atmospheric Monitoring: - Initial air monitoring shall be conducted before entering a confined space and repeated periodically. -The following are monitoring equipment that shall be used: O Combustible gas indicator or multiple analysis portable gas monitor. O Flame ionization detector (e.g., OVA), or photoionization detector (e.g., Hnu ). - Conduct initials monitoring at the confined space entry opening and proceed to monitor all areas of the space. 2.3 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY - Cont'd - Periodic monitoring shall be conducted within the confined space to ensure that the atmosphereremains safe. The SHSO will determine the frequency of periodic testing. - The following action levels and operating procedures shall be adhered to: O Oxygen: If less than 19.5 percent or more than 22.5 percent, evacuate the confined space and ventilate the space to obtain the percent oxygen within the range of 19.5 percent to 22.5 percent. If safe oxygen levels cannot be obtained, personnel entering the space shall wear a Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or airline respirator. O Explosively: If more than 20 percent of the LEL evacuate the confined space. Ventilate the space to reduce the percent LEL below 20 percent. If more than 10 percent of the LEL, no flame, air, or spark-producing material shall be permitted within the space. Polyethylene or other materials which generate static electricity shall not be used if more than 10 percent of the LEL. O Total Organic Vapors: Action levels as established in spedfic guidance found in Appendix B shall be followed to determine the appropriate level of PPE. Ventilate the space when the concentration exceeds 15ppm to attempt to reduce the concentration below 15 ppm. If benzene is detected at 10 ppm, immediately ventilate confined space and upgrade to Level C PPE. O Hydrogen Sulfide Gas: If the concentration exceeds 7ppm (assuming an 8- hour exposure) or 12-ppm (assuming a 15-minute exposure), personnel shall wear a full-face, air-purifying respirator equipped with appropriate cartridges. If the hydrogen sulfide concentration exceeds 100 ppm, personnel shall wear an SCBA or airline respirator. Ventilate the confined space when the concentration exceeds 7 ppm to attempt to reduce the concentration to below 7 ppm. 4. Wear and use designated and approved personal protective equipment as instructed by the SHSO. This may include: - Walkie-talkies or other means of communication between the attendant and workers inside the space. 2.3 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY - Cont'd SCBAs or airline respirators. When working in a confined space where the access opining is small, generally 18 inches or less, airline respirators shall be used rather than SCBAs. Safety harness secured to the worker when entering, working in, and exiting the confined space. A standard waist harness with "D" rings shall be used. If the access opening is less than 18 inches, a waist and shoulder belt harness shall be used. Hard hats - Chemical-resistant boots, gloves, coveralls, safety goggles, depending upon the existing confined space hazardous exposures. 5. Rescue Procedures: - No rescue shall be attempted unless the rescuer is properly trained and using appropriate protection. Over 50 percent of workers who die in confined spaces are attempting to rescue other workers. 2.4 PHYSICAL HAZARDS Prior to work involving excavating and trenching, the area will be surveyed for underground utility lines. The perimeter of the work area will be delineated using banner tape and/or traffic cones. ONLY MJK personnel, authorized subcontractors and authorized third parties will be allowed to enter the excavation area.

Excavations will be performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.650. 2.6.1 EXCAVATION CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES - Excavated materials will be stored and retained at least 2 feet from the edge of the excavation. Trees, boulders, and other surface encumbrances that create a hazard will be removed or made safe before excavation is begun. 2.6.1 EXCAVATION CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES- Cont'd All slopes will be excavated to at least the angle of repose, except for solid rock areas. The determination of the angle of repose and design of the supporting system will be based on these factors: depth of cut; possible variation in water content of the materials while the excavation is open; anticipated changes from exposure to air, sun, water, or freezing; loading imposed by structures, equipment, overlying material, or stored material; and vibration from equipment, blasting, traffic, or other sources. The angle of repose will be flattened when an excavation encounters wet conditions, silty materials, loose boulders, and areas where erosion and deep frost action occur. - Support systems (i.e., piling, cribbing, shoring, etc.) will be planned and designed by a qualified person when excavation is in excess of 20 feet in depth, adjacent to structures, or subject to vibration or groundwater. - Materials used for sheeting, sheet piling, cribbing, bracing, and underpinning will be in good, serviceable condition. - Special precautions will be taken in sloping or shoring the sides of excavations adjacent to a previously backfilled excavation. - Except in hard rock, excavations below the level of the base of the footing of any foundation or retaining wall will not be permitted unless the wall is underpinned and all other precautions have been taken to ensure the stability of the adjacent walls. All ladders used in excavation operations will be in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L. Excavations may be entered/exited by use of ladders or ramps. The use of buckets, forklifts, or any other machinery not designed for personnel transportation is prohibited. Where ramps, walkways, or bridges are used for employees or equipment, they will be designed and constructed by a qualified person in accordance with accepted engineering requirements. When personnel are requested to be in trenches 4 feet or more deeps, an adequate means of exit, such as a ladder or steps, will be provided. 2.6.1 EXCAVATION CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES - Cont'd - Excavations will be inspected daily or more often, as conditions warrant, by a competent person to ensure that changes in temperature, precipitation, shallow groundwater, overburden, nearby building weight, vibrations, or nearby equipment operation has not caused weakening of sides, faces, and flows. -Diversion ditches, dikes, or other suitable means will be used to prevent water from entering an excavation and for drainage of the excavation. -When mobile equipment is used or allowed adjacent to excavations, stop logs or barricades will be installed. The grade will always be away from the excavation. - In locations where oxygen deficiency or air contaminants are possible, air samples will be taken in the excavations. Controls will be established to ensure acceptable atmospheric conditions. If the situation lends itself, confined space entry procedures will be followed. Emergency rescue equipment will be readily available where adverse atmospheric conditions may exist or develop during an excavation. All wells, pits, shafts, etc. will be barricaded or covered. Upon completion of exploration and similar operations, temporary wells, pits, shafts, etc., will be backfilled. - Dust conditions during excavation will be kept to a minimum. Wetting agents shall be used upon the direction of the SHSO. - Field personnel shall not enter an excavation for any reason, unless absolutely necessary, or except to rescue injured personnel who have fallen into the excavated area. - For entry into excavations 4 feet or greater in depth where the potential for a hazardous atmosphere exists, the entry will be classified as confined space entry. 2.6.2 TRENCH CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES Expected hazardous ground movement areas and banks more than 5 feet high will be shored, laid back to a stable slope, or equivalent. - Sides of trenches in unstable or soft material 5 feet or more in depth will be shored, sheeted, braced, sloped, or equivalent 2.6.2 TRENCH CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES - Cont'd - Sides of trenches in hard compact soil, including embankments, will be shored or otherwise supported when the trench is 5 feet or more in depth and 8 feet or more in length. - Materials used for sheeting, sheet piling, bracing, shoring, and underpinning will be in good, serviceable condition. Care should be taken not to overstress the lumber being used at an excavation. Additional precautions by way of shoring and bracing will be taken to prevent slides or cave-ins when excavations are subjected to vibrations. - When trenches are shored, the standard shoring system will meet the minimum requirements shown in table 2-1. 2.7 HEAVY MACHINERY The use of heavy machinery (trenching and digging equipment, cranes, etc.) in areas where unprotected personnel are operating warrants special attention on the part of all personnel. Operators should ensure that equipment is working properly and is being mn in a safe manner, and should be aware of the location of unprotected personnel at all times while operating this machinery to avoid serious accidents. Other personnel must be aware of heavy equipment operations, and exercise proper caution to avoid placing themselves in an unsafe situation. 2.8 SAFETY DURING INSPECTION - Review Health and Safety Plan. - Wear appropriates protective clothing and assigned respiratory protection. - Be aware of existing hazards on site. - Be aware of soft footing and uneven ground and terrain. 3.0 MONITORING 3.1 GENERAL This section of the Site Health and Safety Plan outlines monitoring strategies and analytical methods which will be used to assess any employee exposure to chemical, radiological, and physical hazards due to elevated concentrations of a contaminant or type of work being performed. 3.2 EMPLOYEE MONITORING Monitoring must always be sufficient to properly characterize any employee exposures, and provide knowledge of site conditions in enough detail to determine PPE requirements as work progresses. A complete monitoring program will consist of both on site quantification of exposure (using both direct reading instruments and integrated sample collection), and a medical monitoring program, with evaluations made by an occupational physician concerning fitness of employees and evidence of any adverse exposure trends. 3.2.1 CHEMICAL EXPOSURE Personal air sampling will be conducted to evaluate employee exposures 'to hazardous chemicals during intrusive operations at the subject site, or to evaluate the need to alter PPE requirements. Air samples will be collected in accordance with NIOSH- recommended sampling procedures. Monitoring requirements will be determined based upon potential contaminants present, nature of the task(s) being performed, and results of previous air sampling, where available. 3.2.2 NOISE EXPOSURE Exposure to excessive noise can cause permanent hearing loss. It is the intent of MJK Construction, Inc. to prevent employee hearing loss from noise exposure. If an excessively high noise level is believed to exist, the project manager will have the authority to require noise monitoring, which will be performed by the site safety officer, or his designee. When required, continuous noise measurements will be taken using a calibrated meter on the A-weighted scale set to "slow" response. Impact noise measurements should 3.2.2 NOISE EXPOSURE - Cont'd be taken using meter capable of recording peak levels in decibels. Measurements should be taken at times representative of both maximum and typical levels. This will determine if the noise levels are high enough to require engineering controls or personal protective equipment. If engineering controls cannot be used or if they fail to reduce should levels to acceptable levels, protective equipment will be provided and used. The SHSO will insure that employees exposed to levels at or above those listed in Table 3-1 will wear appropriate hearing protection. Hearing protection may be worn at noise levels below this for employee comfort, as long as the equipment does not impair the worker's awareness of the work environment. The selection of the type of hearing protection will depend on comfort, convenience, and attenuation capabilities. Assigned hearing protection must have sufficient capabilities to reduce the noise levels reaching the ear to below the levels discussed above. TABLE 3-1 ALLOWABLE NOISE LEVELS CONTINUOUS NOISE IMPACT NOISE Sound Level Duration Hours db Peak Frequency DBA Per Day 80 16 140 100 85 8 130 1000 90 4 120 10,000 95 2 100 1 105 0.5 (30 min.) 110 0.25 (15 min.) 115 0.125 (7 min.) >115 NONE When daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered in addition to the individual effect of each. If the sum of the following fractions: C1/T1 + C2/T2 +...+Ch/Tn exceeds unity, the mixed exposure should be considered to exceed the 3.2.2 NOISE EXPOSURE - Cont'd limit value. Cn indicates the total time of exposure at a specified noise level, and Tn indicates the permissible exposure time at that should level, as detailed in Table 3-1 above. 3.2.3 HEAT STRESS To monitor the body's ability to tolerate excess heat, the following techniques will be used as a screening mechanism: 1. Check crews at 30-minute intervals for signs of heat stress. 2. Keep cool drinking water on-site at all times. 3. Do not eat, drink, .or smoke in the exclusion zone. 4. If heat stress is suspected, see procedures in Appendix D. 5. Monitoring of personnel wearing protective clothing will commence when the ambient temperature is 65 F or above. 3.2.4 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE MJK personnel entering the perimeter of the work site will be required to have participated in a Medical Surveillance Program that clears them to wear associated respiratory protection and work at a hazardous waste site. Documentation of training will be required of all MJK staff entering the support zone. Required examinations of this program include: - Ability to wear respiratory protective equipment - General physical examination - Complete blood count - Urinalysis test SMA 24 or equivalent (test liver and kidney function, metabolic tests and electrolyte levels) - Audiometric testing - Pulmonary function test - Electrocardiogram (for those over 45 or as indicated) 3.2.4 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE - Cont'd - Visual acuity and color discriminations - Drug and alcohol screening 4.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 4.1 WORK ATTIRE Personnel will be operating under level C protection unless site conditions change and the Site Safety Officer upgrades this level. Site personnel should always have the equipment necessary for upgrades on site. LEVEL D LEVEL C Hard hat Full face or half-face APR(org.) Safety glasses Steel-toed boots Cotton coveralls (or Tyvek) Vapor cartridges Gloves, chemical resistant Tyvek Suit Ear protection Gloves (outer), chemical resistant Gloves(inner), chemical resistant Steel-toed boots Hard hat LEVEL B Ear protection Safety glasses with 1/2 face respirator 4.2 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION All personnel with the potential for exposure to hazardous substances must have met the training requirements in 29 CFR 1910.120. The respirators must be NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators and comply with 29 CFR 1910.134. Respirators are to be kept clean at all times and air-purifying canisters will be replaced at the end of each shift. If it is determined that the health of an employee or other employees will be impaired by use of a respirator, the employee will not be allowed to work in atmospheres where respirators are required. Any person with facial hair prohibiting proper sealing will not be allowed in these areas. Contact lenses are not to be worn while using any type of respiratory protection, and regular eyeglasses are forbidden for use with full-face respirators. 5.0 SITE CONTROL AND DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES The work area (site) will be segregated into two zones (see Appendix A) based on potential hazards and activities. An exclusion zone will be delineated as will the support zone. The exclusion zone will be established to identify and control the site contaminants and will be maintained to control unnecessary spread of hazardous materials. The support zone is a regulated zone at the perimeter of the work area signified by the absence of work hazards and contamination. Personnel within the exclusion zone will be required to wear all personal protective equipment described in Section 4.0. Personnel outside of the exclusion zone will be required to wear appropriate personal protective clothing, depending on work duties. There will be no eating, drinking, or smoking allowed inside the support zone or the exclusion zone, personnel will be required to wash their hands and face thoroughly before eating, drinking, and/or smoking after conducting work in the exclusion zone. 6.0 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBCONTRACTORS All subcontractors must provide proof of training (Section 7.2) prior to entering the job site. Indemnification and release forms and documentation of compliance with MJK Construction, Inc. requirements shall be signed provided by the subcontractor and retained on file by MJK construction, Inc. Personal Protective Equipment used by the subcontractor will be supplied by the subcontractor. 7.0 PRE-WORK REQUIREMENTS 7.1 TAILGATE SAFETY MEETING A "Tailgate Safety Meeting" will be held at the beginning of every work shift and whenever a new person arrives on site to perform work. These meetings are required in order to fulfill regulatory provisions for employee training and indoctrination on workplace hazards. These meetings are to be conducted by the site safety officer and are aimed at minimizing workplace related injury. These meetings are to be documented in writing by the use of Daily Job Report forms. 7.2 EMPLOYEE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS All employees entering the work area must have documentation of OSHA approved 40-hour training, 8 hour updates as necessary, and respirator fit-test certification. It is also necessary for some site personnel to be currendy certified in CPR/First-Aid training. If these requirements are not met, the employee will not be allowed inside the perimeter of the support zone. All training will be reviewed prior to the onset of work and is subject to the review of the Health and Safety Officer. 8.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE/CONTINGENCY PLAN 8.1 GENERAL A copy of this Health and Safety Plan will be posted at the site. Each employee entering the support zone will be required to read and sign this Health and Safety Plan before beginning work. All accidents/incidents will be reported to the project manager and H&S Officer immediately. First - aid or other actions will be administered in situations where those rendering assistance are not placed in a dangerous situation. The Site Safety Officer will coordinate all emergency response actions for personnel and relay the plans to the work crew during the safety tailgate meeting. In the event of an explosion, frre, or equally hazardous event, work activities will cease and all personnel are to evacuate the area. Evacuation will proceed upwind of the exclusion zone. There are three major categories of emergencies that could occur at a site containing hazardous materials or waste: 1. Illnesses and physical injuries 2. Catastrophic event (fire, explosion, chemical release) 3. Safety equipment problems Although a catastrophic event or severe medical emergency is unlikely to occur during work activity at the site, an emergency contingency plan is prepared for this project should such critical situations arise. 8.1 GENERAL - Cont'd The purpose of this plan is to establish the appropriate response actions for emergency situations, the means of communications and the responsibilities of key personnel at the site. 8.2 RESPONSIBILITIES MJK Operations Supervisor-The Site Supervisor shall be the primary contact individual and coordinator of all emergency activities. He shall be responsible for: - Evaluating the severity of the emergency - Implementing appropriate response action - Notifying all site personnel, the Health and Safety Coordinator, and concerned authorities of the emergency situation - Summoning appropriate emergency services (fire dept., ambulance, etc.) Health and Safety Officer This individual shall provide the Site Supervisor with pertinent health hazard information needed to effectively evaluate the emergency incident, recommend appropriate response actions, and notify the Health and Safety Officer. Emergency Medical Personnel At lease one person on site, who has been trained in first -aid and CPR, shall be available at all times to administer medical treatment to any injured workers. Other On-site Personnel It shall be the obligation of the field personnel to inform the Site Supervisor or Health and Safety Officer of all emergency situations and to abide by their issued response actions. Special medical problems of field personnel shall be reported to the Health and Safety Officer, such as allergies to insects, plants, penicillin, etc. 8.3 MEDICAL EMERGENCIES General Medical emergencies can be described as situations that present a significant threat to the health of personnel. These can result from chemical exposures, heat stress, and poisonous insect bites. Medical emergencies must be dealt with immediately and proper care should be administered. This may be in the form of first -aid and emergency hospitalization. ACCIDENT Accidents can result from physical hazardous on a site. These hazards can include tripping, catching, cutting, and may be associated with debris on site or heavy equipment. Injuries may include: - Broken bones - Burns - Sprains - Puncture wounds - Electrical shock - Cut by contaminated materials 8.4 SAFETY EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS A source of emergency may develop due to malfunction or other problems associated with safety equipment being utilized by field personnel. These equipment problems must be corrected before proceeding with field activities. Safety problems may include: - Leaks or tears in protective clothing - Encountering contaminants for which prescribed protective equipment may not be suitable 8.5 EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT Provisions should be made to have appropriate emergency equipment available and in proper working condition. This equipment may include: - First -aid kits 8.5 EMERGENCY EOUIPMENT - Cont'd - Eye wash kits Fire extinguisher Equipment should be checked before commencing site activities, and detective equipment repaired or replaced before performing site work. 8.6 CATASTROPHIC EVENT PROCEDURES In the event of a catastrophic incident: - Work activities shall cease and all project personnel shall be evacuated from the site. The evacuation shall proceed in a direction directly opposite and upwind of the critical affected area with all personnel assembling in a pre-designated location outside the job site property. -A head-count shall be taken of the assembled employees and any injured individuals shall be administered first-aid. -The Site Supervisor shall notify the following parties as appropriate: - Fire Department, rescue squad - Ambulance - Hospital - MJK Construction Health and Safety Officer 8.7 MEDICAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In the event of a medical emergency: - All injured individuals shall be given appropriate emergency first-aid by the site emergency medical designee: - Severely injured personnel shall be transported to a hospital via ambulance. 8.8 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION Verbal communication should be sufficient due to the small size of the work party. 8.9 EMERGENCY RESPONSE NETWORK In the event of a medical or non-medical emergency situation, the Site Supervisor and Health and Safety Officer all be contacted immediately. Information for the emergency response network is listed below: - Ambulance 911 - Fire Department 911 - Hospital 911 - Poison Control911 - Local Police 911 - MJK H&S Officer 562 663-1315 - MJK Project Mgr. 562 663-1315 8.10 DIRECTIONS TO NEAREST HOSPITAL Name/Address: Mercy Medical Center Depart West on Columbus St. 0.7 miles Turn left onto Mt.

Heat stroke is a life-threatening situation in which the victim's temperature can rise quickly to elevations causing brain damage and death. Heat exhaustion is less dangerous and results from loss of body fluids. This fluid loss causes blood flow to decrease in vital organs resulting in a form of shock. Additionally, sweat does not evaporate properly due to high humidity or layers of clothing resulting in inadequate cooling of the body. Heat cramps are muscular spasms due to heave exertion. These cramps usually involve the abdominal muscles and legs. The cramps are due to the loss of water and salt from heavy sweating. Signs/Symptoms First Aid Heat Stroke - Hot, red skin Call EMS (911)-Care for Constricted pupils shock: Immerse in cool water High body temperature or wrap in wet towels. Give Usually dry skin NOTHING by mouth. Heat Exhaustion - Cool, pale, moist skinMove to cool area. Lie down Heavy sweating victim elevating feet by Normal body temperature' 1 - 1.5 feet. Loose clothing. Dilated (large) pupils Apply wet towels, glass of Headache, nausea, water every 15 minutes. dizziness, vomiting Heat Cramps - Muscular pain, aches Move to a cool place. Give Glass of water every 15mins. There will be adequate shade at the site for employees to rest in and there will be 2 gallons of water (or electrolyte solution to prevent dehydration) per employee at the site. Employees will be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids, and the following break schedule will be implemented: - Work for 1 to 1.5 hours - Break for 15 minutes HEAT STRESS - Cont'd - Count the radial pulse of all personnel for 30 seconds (and multiply by 2) at the beginning of the break period. - If the heart rate exceeds 110 beats per minute OPM), shorten the work cycle by 1/3 and keep the rest periods at 15 minutes. - If the heart rate exceeds 110 BPM at the next rest period, shorten the next work cycle by 1/3 again, keeping the 15 minute breaks. - If the heart rate EVER exceeds 120 BPM the employee will be required to rest for 30-45 minutes to allow the heart rate to decrease. The site safety officer will institute these procedures and monitor personnel for signs of heat stress. Preventing heat stress is particularly important because once someone suffers from heat stroke or heat exhaustion, that person may be predisposed to additional heat injuries.

You walk along the corridors with their slightly exotic olive-tinted walls and'rust and taupe patterned carpeting. You glance through the door of an unfurnished apartment and note the large floor-to-ceiling windows. You go up the elevator, through the doors, and out onto the spacious, pebble-strewn bal- cony on the 9th floor to get a pleasant and airy panoramic view of the city and the Washington Monument in the distance.
