FACILITY BACKGROUND 1.1 Site Description ~ Type: Spill [] Fire [] HW Site [] Commercial Facility [] j 'l Other: The Costco site is located at .3101 Gilmore, Bakersfield, California (Figure 1). Costco Industries has retained[ A.E. Schmidt Environmental (AESE) to oversee confined space entry .activities 'to be conducted at the site. Subcontractor will enter the tanks to try to identify areas where the tank may be leaking. Status: Active [] Surroundinx Pop,,t/arian: Commercial/Res!idential Receiving Waters: Sanitary sewer / storm drain. Site Plan~Sketch Compleled: Yes [] No [] Background Material Concerning Site Attached: See Contract referenced above. '1.2 Summary of Work The following services will be provided by AESE: 1.2.1 Con./Tried Space Entry Oversight and Axxistance 1. Prior to entry, the tank will be emptied using a vacuum truck. The gasoline will be transferred into another tank. The sump will be ventilaLtcd to allow personnel to enter the sump 2. The tank that is going to be entered will be emptied, rinsed and cleaned until the atmospheric conditions (less than 5% of the LEL and between 19.5 and 23 % oxygen) are deemed safe for entry. Activities will be conducted in accordance with the City o1' Bakersfield Fire Department Underground Storage Tank Procedures. (Sec Appendix A.) 3. AESE will assist Containment Solutions during the tank entry activities. Containment Solution personnel will be entering a 20,000 gallon unleaded premium UST after testing indicates it is sal'e to enter. 4. A copy o1" Containment Solutions health and sal"ety procedures for the activities and confined space entry certificates are provided in Appendix B. 1.3 Purpose The purpose of this document is to define thc health and safety requirements which are to be observed by all AESE personnel, their subcontractors, and visitors.

JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS 3.1 Overall Hazard Evaluation [] Moderate [] Low [] Unknown [] Hazard Level: High Hazard 7'ype: Physical [] Chemical [] Biological [] Radiological [] 3.2 Job-Specific Hazards Hazards include trauma from physical hazards, (including slips, trips, and falls), electrical, noise, and heavy equipment. Physical hazards will be minimized through hazard awareness and adherence to AESE SOPs. Inspection of all work areas will be performed by the AESE SSO prior to initiating any work. All hazards will be noted, demarcated, and discussed in the daily Tailgate Safety Meeting. Daily safety meetings will emphas:[ze the hazards that exist that day and the precautions that should be taken to avoid injuries. Hazards due to chemical exposures will be minimized through the use of PPE outlined in Section 6.0. Excavation hazards will be reduced by sloping excavmion sidewalls to a ratio of 1:1.5.5 and/or shoring. A first-aid kit, a 15 minute ANSI-approved eye-wash station, and a fire extinguisher will be present as part of AESE's field equipment. 3.3 Job Task Description Tank Cleaning Fuel l?om the tank will be removed using a vacuum track. The fi~el will be transferred into existing tank on site. All liquid will be removed prior to entry into the tank. Monitoring of the tank will be perfbrmed using a combustible gas meter (LE~/Oxygen). Prior to entry the LEL in the tank will be below 5% of the LEL, oxygen levels will be between 19.5 and 23 %. Snmp Ent~ for Preparation for Monitoring of the tank sump will be per[ormed using a combustible gas meter Tank Entry (LEL/Oxygen). Prior to entry into the snmp the LEL in the tank will be below 5% of the LEL, oxygen levels will be between 19.5 and 23 %. A diffi~ser will be used to dissipate the vapors in the sump to level where an air-purifying respirator can be utilized. Tank Entry The tank will be entered in accordance with confined space entry procedures (Contaimnent Solutions and AESE), City ol' Bakersfield protocol and applicable state and local regulations.

Personnel nsing handtools will wear appropriate work gloves and protective clothing to prevent cuts, bums and injuries. Personnel will use hearing pro~ection devices during heavy equipment operation and will wear high visibility vests. Heat stress monitoring will be conducted as described in Section 14-1. If entry into the sump is required, it is considered a confined space and confined space entry procedures must be followed. 4. HAZARD ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The potential for exposure to chemical hazards is anticipated during activities related to tank entry. The use o~~ personal protective equipment (PI?E), engineering controls (ventilation), and work site monitoring will significantly reduce the potential for exposure. The use of heavy equipment (vacuum truck) poses a risk to site workers. The risk of injury from the use o1' heavy equipment are considered to be thc most significant risks to site workers. Thc potential of serious in. juries caused by heavy equipment during activities will be reduced by daily safety meetings, worker awareness, and a full-time health and saE:ty officer present at the site. 5. AIR MONITORING PLAN Implementation of the air monitoring program at the site will be determined by conditions encountered during activities. The action lew~ls selected tbr use in this Health and Safety Plan are based on the potential for explosive atmospheres or oxygen deficient atmospheres during confined space entry activities.

SITE CONTINGENCY PLAN The potential of encountering liquid wastes at the facility is considered to be very low. Liquid waste October, however, be generated by routine equipment maintenance and repairs, and on occasion by failures of equipment hoses or parts. The potential of exposure to liquid waste by site personnel and soil contamination will be minimized by worker awareness, preparation, and adherence to the following spill contingency plan. Spills and exposure to liquid waste will be minimized by worker awareness to conditions which October exist prior to, or in the event o1'; a spill. Three stages of response will facilitate reduction of waste generated. · Identification - Identification of potential sources of liquid hazards will be made by regular inspections of containers, and of equipment to determine if mechanical parts or hoses are worn or defective. Spills or releases of liquid wastes will be immediately reported to the nearest grading foreman or site manager. · Prevention/Response - A rapid response to the spill will be initiated by all personnel involved. The tbllowing responses will be followed to minimize spills. I t - Release of liquids from site equipment will be minimized by immediately stopping and shutting down the affected equipme, nt and safely relieving all system pressure if possible. I - Visqueen will be stored on-site and will be placed beneath the equipment to contain leaking fluids, when conditions permit. Absorbent material will be stored on-site and will be used in conjunction with plastic. - Spill protection (Visqueen, absorbent material, and/or appropriate containers) will be strategically placed beneath equipment being repaired or maintained which requires draining of fluids. -Transtar of fluids from containers to equipment reservoirs will be peHbrmed in a control led manner. · Storage - Liquid wastes will be stored in DOT approved, sealable containers, and properly labeled. A specific area will be designated lbr liquid waste storage. - The designated storage area will be lined with a minimum of 6-MIL Visqueen to preclude contact of liquids with soil. - The storage area will be demarcated to preclude entry by unauthorized personnel. - Absorbent material will be stored on-site and will be readily available in the event of 171 spills or leaks within the storage area. .1 C:[My Documents~HASPs~PriceCostco~Bakersfield Tank Entry HASP. doc A.E.

MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM Prior to assignment to any task requiring a level o'f personal protection above Level D, personnel will submit, if requested by the AESE project manager, evidence that they have received a physical examination within the previous twelve months which incorporates the following: · An occupation and general physical history; ,, Complete physical examination which incorporates the head, torso, abdomen, limbs, and musculo-skeletal system; Chest X-ray; Pulmonary function test; ,, Audiometric exam for persons working around drill rigs; Laboratory testing of blood and urine to include the following: C.B.C., albumin phosphatase, total bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, BUN, and creatinin. · Vision test; ,,Electrocardiogram; and ,, Physicians certification that the employee is physically capable of wearing respiratory protection. 14.1 Heat Stress Monitoring To aid in the prevention of heat stress, the following will be provided for personnel working at the site, if required: · Potable Water; Potable water with 1% salt or commercial mix (such as Gatorade) will be within easy access to all workers; and · Work Schedules; Work/rest regimes will be developed on recommendations by the Health & Safety Officer. The initial work schedule will consist ol'a 55-minute work regime followed by a 5-minute rest period. This work schedule will be modified as is necessary to contbrm with the heat stress monitoring criteria outlined below. Persolmel will be instructed to look fbr the following initial symptoms of heat stress: · Heat Exhaustion: - Pale, clammy skin; - Profuse perspiration; - Tiredness, weakness; - Headache, perhaps cramps; - Nausea, dizziness (possible vomiting); and - Possible lhinting. · ldeat Cramps: - Cramping of muscles in legs and abdomen. C:~My Docurnents~-IASPs~PriceCostco~Bakersfield Tank Entry ttASP, doc A.E. Schmidt Environmental Page 21 · Heat Stroke: - High body temperature; and - Skin is characl/eristically hot, red, and dry (the sweating mechanism is blocked). Heat stress monitoring will commence when the ambient temperature reaches 70 Degrees Fahrenheit if Tyvek or Saranek (Level C) garments are in use. Otherwise, heat stress monitoring will commence at an ambient temperature o1' 85 degree's Fahrenheit. The monitoring will consist o[' the following: · Heart rate (HR) will be measured by the radial pulse during 30 seconds as early as possible in the resting period. The heart rate at the beginning of the rest period should not exceed 110 beats per minute. If the HR is in excess of the above value, the next work period will be shortened by 33% while the length of the rest period stays the same. if the pulse rate is in excess ol" 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the next rest period, the fbllowing work cycle will be further shortened by 33%. · Workers will be asked to report any dizziness, faintness, cramps, or other symptoms of heat stress as discussed above. · Workers will also be questioned about any history of asthma, or if currently taking asthma medications. Persons taking asthma medications are typically more susceptible to heat stress reactions. First-aid ~br heat stress will include the following: · Heat Stress: - Exposed person will be removed from the work zone and placed in a shaded area; - Person will be required to rest in a recumbent position; - Fluids will be administered (Gatorade); and - Workload will be reduced to a level which will prevent heat stress symptoms from recurring. · Heat Cramps and Heat Exhaustion: - Same first-aid procedures as described above except that exposed person will be requested to leave the site for the remainder of the day. · Heat Stroke: - Exposed person will be placed in a shaded area and medical attention (Paramedics) will be sought immediately.

'File properties xvhicb are of prima'r?.' concern are compatibility, adhesion, and ~;trcn~th...\ tank [inin~ material manut':acturer submits "coupons" of' the tank lining material to an hldepende, I testing laboratory where various ms'ts are pertbrmed. Some of the tests require samples adl~ered to a metal subs~rate_ other tests may require sample coupons with no substrate. and so,ne ~est procedures ,-equh'e sample coupons both with and withot, t the metal substrate. .qince a t¢~ Year or longer test period is not practical, tile tests are designed to simulate longer periods pt' time hx, increasing ~he a_~gressiveness of the environment during testing. This is accomplished by elevating tile temperature of immersion tests. Tile minimum testing period is typically I ~0 day.., at elevated temperatures and. de0ending upon the requirements pt-the testing laboratory may last 270 or even 360 days. ('OMPATIBILITY Testing for compatibility is divided into two groups and requires ,;staples bonded to a metal substrate and :;staples without a substrate. The first testing set is performed to determine the compatibility or'the lining materials with the product to be .qored in the rank. The second testin~ scl: is lbr ambie,u fluids.

(See drawing attached) - Entry. through manway - already instal]ed in tank, will require the removal °£all pumps or vents installed in the manway lid. The full 22" diameter manway opening will be utilized for tank entry, so it cannot be obstructed in any way. Loosen the manway cover before the Technician arrives on site. 2, Tank mu~;t be empty of fuel ( within I" of bottom of tank ) - Note: The Technician vdII veto the tank to atmosphere to lower explosion levels in the tank to less Than 10% LEL. · Get the tank as empty as possible. The more laroduct removed from the tank v~fill reduce the time required by the technician to vent. 3. An open top 55 gallon drum must be provided for Technician's use for removing or soaking up any residual product left in the tank. This drum is considered hazardous waste, and will be the responsibility, of the owner or ~;ontractor to dispose of accordingly If the tank is extremely dirty, you may be required to contract the services of a tank cleaning company. 4. A safety person must be available to assist l:he Technician at all times. This person must be clean shaven; and able to speak English. Tiffs person must have no other duties other than assisting and monitoring the Technician. This person is supplied by the owner or contractor. The same safety person should be assigned each day, This wilt minimize the time required instructing the safety person on proper procedures and policies. NOTE: Thc safety person MUST have a completion of 40 HOURS OF TRAINING IN THE FIZLD APPLICATIONS OF HEALTI:I AND SAFETY in compliance with· OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 (HAZWOPER), 5. No fuel deliveries can be made to any tank o'n site while technician is inside a tank. 6. When tank entry is required by the Technician, a person trained in CPR must be beside the entry hole at all times when the Technician 'is inside the tank. This person is in addition to the safety person. If one is not available from the'contracting crew, an off duty fireman, nurse, EMT, or equivalent is acceptable. Besi&~s administering C?R, the person will assist the safety person should ~ emergency rescue I:,e required. 7. Our Technician will perform ma air/soap figh:ness test confirming his repairs to the exterior of' tank. and possibly identify any other potential problems 'on the exposed areas of the tank. All efforts must be made to isolate:, di:teonnec~, or plug all the piping on tank. If' this test is done, and at a later date another pro'~lem with the tank is identified, it will be the financial responsibility of the owner or contractor to schedule a return trip to the site 8. It is important that the contractor or owner conta,:t the appropriate local and state authorities for regulations concerning the jobsite. ,~obsite permits may need to be obtained for the excavation or remanufacture of'the tank. Regulations governing testing of underground tanks should be determined so Te:hnician can be advised 9. The contractor must disconnect the electrical supply and remove the pump From the' tank. The product line at the pump must also be disconnected or capped. This will insure no fuel can enter the tank while Technician 3is xvorking. 10.

Schmidt Environmental 5 AfN 333742 CONFINED SPACES IDENTIFYING CONFINED, SPACES The first step toward conducting a* safe cont~necl-space entry is to identify the space as potentially dangerous. All Confined Spaces shall be considered "permit- required" until pfc cntry procedures demorrstrate otherwise. To clarify what constitutes a Confined Space, the following det~nition will be 'used. A Confined Space is any space that has the fallowing characteristics:* · Large enough or so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work. · Has limited or restricted means for entry or exiL Confined-space openings are limited primarily by size and location. Openings may be small in size and may be difficult to move through easily. However, in some cases openings may be very large; for example, open-topped' spa[ces such as pits or excavations. Entrance and exit may be required from top, bottom, or side. Size or location may make 'rescue efforts difficult. · Is not designed for continuous employee oc~'upancy. Most confined spa~:es are not designed for employees to 'enter and work on a routine basis. They may be designed to store, a product, enclose materials and process, or transport products or substances;. Therefore, occasional employee t~ffiry for inspection,"-maintenance, repair, cleanup, or similar tasks, is often cult and dangerous. The danger associated with entry may come from. chemical or physical hazards within the space. Non-Permit Confined Space means a confined space that does not contain, nor has the potential to contain, any hazard capable of causing death or serious physical harm (with respect to atmospheric hazards). Permit-Required Confined Space (Permit.spaCe} means a confined space that has one or more of the following charactedstim;: · Contains or has a potential to 'contain a hazardous atmosphere. '- Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant. · 'Has an .internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or .asphyxiated by inwardly-converging walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section; or ,, · Contains 'ahy other recognized serious sa~.~ty or health hazard. Based on the definition, many types of spaces may be considered "confined," and therefore, hazardous. Some examples of confined spaces might be sewers, 1 CONFINED SPACES en eCtdCal vaults, steam tunnels, mechanical rooms, or other similar types of closures. AESE tank installation activities include the enW into a tank sump. This is considered to be a permit required confined sp',ace due to the following: · Has a potential to contain a hazardous ab-nosphere iff'om gasoline, vapors, lack of oxygen); · Contains any other recognized sedous safety or health hazard - flammable atmosphere. Coupled with th'e activities to be 'conducted in the space such as welding, electrical, etc. it is definitely a permit required confined space. 2. IDENTIFYING CONFINED SPACE HAZARDS Once a 'space has been identified as confined, the hazards that may be present within the confined space must be identified. COnfined-space hazards can be grouped into the following categories: 1) Oxygen-deficient atmospheres, 2) flammable atmospheres, 3) toxic atmospheres, and 4) mechanical and physical hazards. confined-space must be evaluated for these four types of hazards. The types of atmospheric hazards are often the most difficult to identify since they are normally invisible. 1. Oxygen'Deficient Atmospheres The normal atmosphei'e is composed of approximately 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. An atmosphere containing less than 19.5% oxygen shall be considered oxygen-deficient. The oxygen level inside a confined space may be decreased as the result of either consumption or displacement. There are a number of processes which con~sume oxygen in a confined space. Oxygen is'consumed during combustion of flammable materials, as in welding, cutting, or brazing. A more subtle consumption of oxygen occurs dudng bacterial action, as in.the fermentation process. Oxygen can also be consumed during chemical reactions such as in the formation of rust on the exposed surfaces of a confined space. The number of people working in a confined.space and the amount of physical activity can also influence oxygen consumption. Oxygen levels can also be reduced as the result of ox1.tgen displacement by other gases. CONFINED SPACES ~e' Flammable Atmospheres Flammable atmospheres are generally the result of flammable gases, vapors, dust mixed in certain concentrations with air, or an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. Oxygen-enriched atmospheres are those atmospheres 'whiCh contain an oxygen concentration greater than 22%. An oxygen- enriched atmosphere will cause flammable materials such as clothing and hair to bum violently when ignited. Combustible gases or vapors can accumulate within a COnfined space when there is inadequate ventilation. 'Gases that are heavier than air will accumulate in the lower levels of a confined space'. Therefore,. it is. especially important that atmospheric tests be conducted near the bottom of all confined spaces. The work being conducted in a confined space can generate a flammable atmosphere. Work such as spray painting, coating, or the use of flammable solvents for cleaning can result in the formation of an explosive atmosphere. Welding or cutting .with oxyacetylene equipment can also be the cause of an explosion in a confined space and shall not be allowed without a hot work permit. Oxygen and acetylene hoses may have small leaks in them which could generate an explosive atmosphere and, therefore, should be removed when not in use. The atmosphere shall be tested continuously while any hot work is being ed within the c~nfined space~-. .... 3. Toxic Atmospheres Toxic atmospheres may be present within a o3nfined space as the result of one or more of the following: The 'Product Stored in the Confined Space When a .product is stored in a confined space, the product can be absorbed by the walls and give off toxic vapors when removed or when cleaning the residual material. The product can also produce to)dc vapors which will remain in the atmosphere due to poor ventilation. The Work Being Conducted in the Confined Space Toxic atmospheres can be generated as the result of work being conducted inside the confined space. Examples of su¢~ work include: Welding or brazing with metals capable of producing toxic vapors, painting, scraping, sanding, etc. Many of the sol~erits used for cleaning and/or degreasing produce highly toxic vapors. CONFINED SPACES reas Adjacent to the Confined Space .' fumes produced by processes near fl~ confined space may enter and accumulate in the confined space. 'For exami:~e, if the confined space is lower than the adjacent area and the toxic fume is heavier than air, the toxic fume may "settle" into the confined space. 4. Mechanical and Physical Hazards Problems such as rotating or moving mechanical parts or energY sources can create hazards within a confined space. All rotating or moving equipment such as pumps, process lines, electrical sources, etc., within a 'confined space must be identified. Physical factors such as heat, cold, noise, vibn~don, and fatigue can contribute to accidents. These factors must be evaluated for' all confined spaces. Excavations could present the possibility of engulfment. Employees shall be protected from cave-ins by sloping, benching, or shoring systems when the depth of the excavation is'more than four feet, in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.652. .. 4 13.

NI hanOling ~u~pment ~oulc ~e~ed Common Name: Benzene CAS Number: 71-43-2 DOT Number: UN 1114 Date: January, 1988 HAZARD SUMMARY * Benzene can affect you when breathed in and by passing through your skin. * Benzene is a CARCINOGEN HANDLE WITH EXTREME CAUTION. * Exposure can cause you to become dizzy and lightheaded. Higher levels can cause convulsions and death. * Exposure can irritate the nose and throat and may cause an upset stomach and vomiting. Benzene can cause an irregular heart beat that can lead to death. * Prolonged exposure can cause fatal damage to the blood (aplastic anemia). * Benzene is a FLAM~IABLE LIQUID and a FIRE HAZARD. IDENTIFICATION Benzene is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It is used mainly in making other chemicals, as a solvent, and is found in gasoline. REASON FOR CITATION * Benzene is on the Hazardous Substance List because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH, IARC, NTP, CAG, DEP, NFPA and EPA. * It is on the Special Health Hazard Substance List because it is a CARCINOGEN, a MUTAGEN and is FLAMMABLE. * Definitions are attached. HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE BEING EXPOSED * Exposure to hazardous substances should be routinely evaluated. This may include collecting air samples. Under OSHA 1910.20, you have a legal right to obtain copies of sampling results from your employer. If you think you are experiencing any work related health problems, see a doctor trained to recognize occupational diseases. Take this Fact Sheet with you. * ODOR THRESHOLD = 12.0 ppm. * The odor threshold only serves as a warning of exposure. Not smelling it does not mean you are not being exposed. WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LIMITS OSHA: The legal airborne permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 1 ppm averaged over an 8 hour workshift, and 5 ppm which should not be exceeded in any 10 minute period. ACGIH: The recommended airborne exposure limit is 10 ppm averaged over an 8 hour workshift. NIOSH: The recommended airborne exposure limit is 1.0 ppm, which should not be exceeded during any 60 minute period. * Benzene is a CANCER CAUSING AGENT in humans. There may be no safe level of exposure to a carcinogen, so all contact should be reduced to the lowest possible level. The above exposure limits are for air.levels only. Skin contact may also cause overexposure. WAYS OF REDUCING EXPOSURE A regulated, marked area should be established where Benzene is handled, used, or stored. Wear protective work clothing. * Wash thoroughly immediately after exposure to Benzene and at the end of the workshift. * Post hazard and warning information in the work area. In addition, as part' of an ongoing education and training effort, communicate all information on the health and safety hazards of Benzene to potentially exposed workers. This Fact Sheet is a summary source of information of all potential and most severe health hazards that may result from exposure. Duration of exposure, concentration of the substance and other factors will affect your susceptibility to any ~f the potential effects described below. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION Acute Health Effects The following acute (short term) health effects may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to Benzene: * Exposure can cause symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, and vomiting. Convulsions and coma, or sudden death from irregular heart beat, may follow high exposures. * Exposure can also irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Chronic Health Effects The following chronic (long term) health effects can occur at some time after exposure to Benzene and can last for months or years: Cancer Hazard * Benzene is a CARCINOGEN in humans. It has been shown to cause leukemia. Many scientists believe there is no safe level of exposure to a carcinogen. Reproductive Hazard * There is limited evidence that Benzene is a teratogen in animals. Until further testing has been done, it should be treated as a possible teratogen in humans. Other Long Term Effects * Repeated exposure can damage the blood forming organs causing a condition called aplastic anemia. This can cause death. * Long term exposure may cause drying and scaling of the skin. MEDICAL TESTING Before beginning employment and at regular times after that, the following are recommended: * Complete blood count. * Urinary Phenol (a test to see if B.~nzene is in the body). Any evaluation should include a careful history of past and present symptoms with an exam. Medical tests that look for damage already done are not a substitute for controlling exposure. Request copies of your medical testing. You have a legal right to this information under OSHA 1910.20. WORKPLACE CONTROLS AND PRACTICES Unless a less toxic chemical can be substituted for a hazardous substance, ENGINEERING CONTROLS are the most effective way of reducing exposure. The best protection is to enclose operations and/or provide local exhaust ventilation at the site of chemical release. Isolating operations can also reduce exposure. Using respirators or protective equipment is ].ess effective than the controls mentioned above, but is sometimes necessary. In evaluating the controls present in your workplace, consider: (1) how hazardous the substance is, (2) how much of the substance is released into the workplace and (3) whether harmful skin or eye contact could occur. Special controls should be in place for highly toxic chemicals or when significant skin, eye, or breathing exposures are possible. In addition, the following controls are recommended: * Where possible, automatically pump liquid Benzene from drums or other storage containers to process containers. * Specific engineering controls are recommended for this chemical by NIOSH. Refer to the NIOSH criteria documents on Benzene ~ 74 137 and "Refined Petroleum Solvents" ~ 77 192. Good WORK PRACTICES can help to reduce hazardous exposures. The following work practices are recommended: * Workers whose clothing has been contaminated by Benzene should change into clean clothing promptly. * Do not take contaminated work clothes home. Family members could be exposed. * Contaminated work clothes should be laundered by individuals who have been informed of the hazards of exposure to Benzene. * If there is the possibility of skin exposure, emergency shower facilities should be provided. * On skin contact with Benzene, immediately wash~or shower to remove the chemical. * Do not eat, smoke, or drink where Benzene is handled, processed, or stored, since the chemical can be swallowed. Wash hands carefuIly before eating or smoking. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WORKPLACE CONTROLS ARE ~ETTER THAN PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. However, for some jobs (such as outside work, confined space entry, jobs done only once. in a while,, or jobs done while workplace controls are being installed), personal protective equipment may be appropriate. The following recommendations are only guidelines and may not apply to every situation. Clothing * Avoid skin contact with Benzene. Wear solvent resistant gloves and clothing. Safety equipment suppliers/ manufacturers can provide recommendations on the most protective glove/clothing material for your operation. * All protective clothing (suits, gloves, footwear, headgear) should be clean, available each day, and put on before work. * ACGIH recom~nends VITON gloves for slhort periods of protection. Eye Protection * Eye protection is included in the recommended respiratory protection. Respiratory Protection IMPROPER USE OF RESPIRATORS IS DANGEROUS. Such equipment should only be used if the employer has a written program that takes into account workplace conditions, requirements for worker training, respirator fit testing and medical exams,, as described in OSHA 1910.134. * At any exposure level, use a MSHA/NZ[OSH approved supplied air respirator with a full facepiece cperated in the positive pressure mode or with a full facepiece, hood, or helmet in the continuous flow mode, or use a MSHA/NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. HANDLING AND STORAGE * Prior to working with Benzene you should be trained on its proper handling and storage. * Benzene must be stored to avoid ccntact with OXIDIZERS (such as PERPLgNGANATES, NITRATES, PEROXIDES, CHLORATES, and PERCHLORATES), since violent reactions occur. * Store in tightly closed containers in a cool well ventilated area away from HEAT. * Sources of ignition such as smoking and open flames are prohibited where Benzene is handled, used, or stored. * Metal containers involving the transfer of 5 gallons or more of Benzene should be grounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with self closing valves, pressure va6uum bungs, and flame arresters. * Wherever Benzene is used, handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosion proof electrical equipment and fittings. Common Name: Benzene DOT Number: UN 1114 DOT Emergency Guide code: 27 CAS Number: 71-43-2 NJ DOH Hazard rating FLAMmaBILITY 3 REACTIVITY 0 CARCINOGEN CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE IN FIRE POISONOUS GAS IS PRODUCED IN FIRE Hazard Rating Key: 0=minimal; 1=slight; 2=moderate; 3=serious; 4=severe FIRE HAZARDS * Benzene is a FLAMMABLE LIQUID. * Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam extinguishers. Water can be used to keep fire exposed containers cool. * POISONOUS GAS'IS PRODUCED IN FIRE. * CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE IN FIRE. * The vapor is heavier than air and may travel a distance to cause a fire or explosion far from the source. * If employees are expected to fight fires, they must be trained and equipped as stated in OSHA 1910.156. SPILLS AND EMERGENCIES If Benzene is spilled or leaked, take the following steps: * Restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. * Remove all ignition sources. * Ventilate area of spill or leak. * ~sorb liquids in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or a similar material and deposit in sealed containers. * Keep Benzene out of a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion, unless [he sewer is designed to prevent the buildup of explosive concentrations. * It may be necessary to contain and dispose of Benzene as a HAZARDOUS WASTE. Contact the your state Environmental Program for specific recommendations. FOR LARGE SPILLS AND FIRES immediately call your fire department. FIRST AID POISON INFORMATION Eye Contact * Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Skin Contact * Quickly remove contaminated clothing. I~unediately wash area with large amounts of soap and water. Seek medical attention. Breathing * Remove the person from exposure. * Begin rescue breathing if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped.

Not intended to be copied and sold for commercial purposes. NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Right to Know Program CN 368, Trenton, NJ 08625 0368 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Benzene is produced from coal and is used to make medicinal chemicals, dyes, and many other organic compounds. It is also used to make artificial leather, linoleum, oi2L cloth, varnishes and lacquers. Benzene can enter the environment mostly from industrial effluents. ACUTE (SHORT-TERM) ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS Acute toxic effects may include the death of animals, birds, or fish, and death or low growth rate in plants. Acute effects are seen lwo to four days after animals or plants come in contact with a toxic chemical substance. Benzene has high acute toxicity to aqua~ic life. It can cause death in plants and roots and membrane damage in leaves of various agricultural crops. No data are available on the short-term effects of benzene on birds o~ land animals. CHRONIC (LONG-TERM) ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS Chronic toxic effects may include shortened lifespan, reproductive problems, lower fertility, and changes in 'appearance or behavior. Chronic effects can be seen long after first exposure(s) to a toxic chemical. Benzene has high chronic toxicity to aquatic life. No data are available on the long-term effects of benzene on plants, birds, or land animals. WATER SOLUBILITY Benzene is moderately soluble in water. Concentrations ofbetween 1 to 1,000 milligrams will mix with a liter of water. DISTRIBUTION AND PERSISTENCE IN THE ENVZ[RONMENT Benzene is slightly persistent in water, with a half-life'of between 2 to 20 days. The half-life of a pollutant is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the chemical to be degraded. About 99.5% of benzen will eventually end up inair; the rest will end up in the water. BIOACCUMULATION IN AQUATIC ORGANISMS Some substances increase in concentration, or bioaccumulate, in living oranisms as they breathe contaminated air, drink contaminated water, or eat contaminated food. These chemicals can become concentrated in the tissues and internal organs of animals and humans. The concentration of benzene found in fish tissues is expected to be somewhat higher than the average concentration of benzene in the water from which the fish was taken. SUPPORT DOCUMENT: AQUIRE Database, ERL-Duluth, U.S. EPA, Phytotox. Common Name: Lead. CAS Number: 7439-92-1 DOT Number: None Date: October'1986 HAZARD SUMMARY * Lead can affect you when breathed in and if swallowed from food, drinks, or cigarettes. * Lead is a' TERATOGEN--HANDLE WITH EXTREME CAUTION. * Repeated exposure causes Lead buildl-up in the body. Low levels may cause tiredness, mood changes, headaches, stomach problems and trouble sleeping. * Higher levels may cause aching, weakness, and concentration or memory problems. * Lead can also cause serious permanent kidney or brain damage at high levels. * Lead exposure increases risk of high blood pressure. IDENTIFICATION Lead is a heavy, soft gray metal. It has wide industrial use due to its properties of high density, softness, low melting point, resistance to corrosion and ability to stop gamma and x-rays. REASON FOR CITATION * Lead is on the RTK Hazardous Substance List because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH and NIOSH. * This chemical is on the Special Health Hazard Substance List because it is a TEk~TOGEN. HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE BEING EXPOSED * Exposure to hazardous substances should be routinely evaluated. This may include collecting personal and area air samples. You can cbtain copies of sampling results from your employer. You have a legal right to this information under CSHA 1910.20. * If you think you are experiencing any work-related health problems, see a doctor trained to recognize occupational diseases. Take this Fact Sheet with you. WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LIMITS * These exposure limits are recommended for inorganic Lead dusts and fumes measured as Lead. OSHA: The legal airborne permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 0.05 mg/m3 averaged over an 8-hour workshift. NIOSH: The recommended airborne exposure limit is less than 0.10 mg/m3 averaged over an 10-hour workshift.'% ACGIH: The recommended airborne exposure limit is 0.15 mg/m3 averaged over an 8-hour workshift. * Lead is a TERATOGEN. All contact with this chemical should be reduced to the lowest possible level. WAYS OF REDUCING EXPOSURE * Where possible, enclose operations and use local exhaust ventilation at the site of chemical release. If local exhaust ventilation or enclosure is not used, respirators should be worn. * Wear protective work clothing. * Wash thoroughly at the end of the work-shift. * Post hazard and warning information in the work area. In addition, as part of an ongoing education and training effort, communicate all information on the health and safety hazards of Lead to potentially exposed workers. This Fact Sheet is a summary source of information of all potential and most severe health hazards that may result from exposure. Duration of exposure, concentration of the substance and other factors will affect your susceptibility to any of the potential effects described below. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION Acute Health Effects The'following acute (short-term) health effects may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to Lead: * Extremely high exposures could cause seizures, but usually symptoms from Lead occur after weeks to months of exposure. Chronic Health Effects The following chronic (long-term) health effects can occur at some time after exposure to Lead and can last for months or years: Cancer Hazard * According to the information presently available to the New Jersey Department of Health, Lead has not been tested for its ability to cause cancer in animals. Reproductive Hazard * Lead is a PROBABLE TERATOGEN in humans. * Lead may decrease fertility in males and females. Other Long-Term Effects * Repeated exposure to Lead causes Lead to build up in the body. The earliest symptoms may be tiredness, trouble sleeping, stcmach problems, constipation, headaches and moodiness (mostly irritability and depression). Higher levels may cause aching and weakness in your arms and legs, trouble concentrating and remembering things, and may cause a low blood count (anemia). * Lead can cause serious, permanent kidney and brain damage at high enough levels. ~ * Lead exposure increases risk of high blood pressure. MEDICAL Medical Testing Before first exposure and every six months thereafter, OSHA (1910.1025) requires your employer to provide: * Blood Lead test. * ZPP test (a special test for the effect of Lead on blood cells). Before first exposure, and yearly for exposed person with blood Lead over 40 micrograms per 100 g of whole blood, OSHA also requires a complete medical history and exam with the above tests, and: * Complete blood count. * Kidney function tests. OSHA defines "exposure" for these tests .as air levels averages 30 micrograms of Lead or more in a cubic meter of air. OSHA requires , your employer to send the doctor a copy of the Lead standard and provide one for you. Any evaluation should include a careful history of past and present symptoms with an exam. Medical tests that look for damage already done are not a substitute for controlling exposure. Request copies of your m~dical testing. You have a legal right to this information under OSHA 1910.20. Mixed Exposures Body exposures to Lead from hobbies using Lead solder or pigments; target practice; and drinking moonshine made in Leaded containers will increase Lead levels. Repeated breathing or handling Leaded gasoline may also add somewhat to body Lead levels. WORKPLACE CONTROLS AND FRACTICES Unless a less toxic chemical can be substituted for a hazardous substance, ENGINEERING CONTROLS are the most effective way of reducing exposure. The best protection is to enclose operations and/or provide local exhaust ventilation at the site of chemical release. Isolating operations can also reduce exposure. Using respirators or protective equipment is less effective than the controls mentioned above, but is sometimes necessary. In evaluating the controls present in your workplace, consider: (1) how hazardous the substance is, (2) how much of the substance is released into the workplace and (3) whether harmful skin or eye contact could occur. Special controls should be in place for highly toxic chemicals or when significant skin, eye, or breathing exposures are possible. In addition, the following controls are recommended: * Avoid heating above 900oF. * Specific engineering controls are required for this chemical by OSHA. Refer to the OSHA standard 1910.1025 available from OSHA or your employer. Good WOrK PRACTICES can help to reduce hazardous exposures. The following work practices are recommended: * When vacuuming, a high efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filter should be used, not a standard shop vacuum. * Contaminated work clothes should be laundered by individuals who have been informed of the hazards of exposure to Lead. Work clothing should be HEPA vacuumed before removal. Do not take contaminated work clothes home. Family members could be exposed. * Wash any areas of the body that may have contacted Lead at the end of each workday, whether or not known skin contact has occurred. ~ * Do not eat, smoke, or drink where Lead is handled, processed, or stored, since the chemical can ]De swallowed. Wash hands carefully before eating or smoking. * Use a HEPA vacuum or a wet method 'to reduce dust during clean- up. Do not dry sweep. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WORKPLACE CONTROLS ARE BETTER THAN PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. However, for some jobs (such as outside work, confined space entry, jobs done only once in a while, or jobs done while workplace controls are being installed), personal protective equipment may be appropriate. The following recommendations are only guidelines and may not apply to every situation. Clothing * Avoid skin contact with Lead dust and fume. Wear protective gloves, full body and hat clothing. Safety equipment suppliers/manufacturers can provide, recommendations on the most protective glove/clothing material for your operation. * All protective clothing (suits, gloves, footwear, headgear) should be clean, available each day, and put on before work. * Work clothing should be HEPA vacuumed before removal. Eye Protection * Wear dust-proof goggles when working with powders or dust, unless full face-piece respiratory protection is worn. Respiratory Protection IMPROPER USE OF RESPI~iORS IS DANGEROUS. Such equipment should only be used if the employer has a written program that takes into account workplace conditions, requirements for worker training, respirator fit testing and medical exams, as described in OSHA 1910.134. * Where the potential exists for exposures not higher than 0.5 mg/m3, use a half-mask, air purifying respirator equipped with high efficiency filters. ~ * Where the potential exists for exposures not higher than 2.5 mg/m3, use a full facepiece, air purifying respirator with high efficiency filters. * OSHA requires the employer to provide a powered-air purifying respirator, instead of one of the above, whenever the employee asks to use this type of respirator. * OSHA prohibits the employer from requiring an employee to wear one of the above negative pressure respirators longer than 4.4 hours per day in battery manufacturing and primary and secondary Lead production. * Where the potential exists for exposures not higher than 50 mg/m3, use any powered-air purifying respirator with high efficiency filters or half-mask supplied-air respirator operated in positive pressure mode. * If while wearing a filter, cartridge or canister respirator, you can smell, taste or otherwise detect Lead, or in the case of a full facepiece respirator you experience eye irritation, leave the area immediately. Check to make sure the respirator-to-face seal is still good. If it is, replace the filter, cartridge or canister. If the seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator. * Be sure to consider all potential exposures in your workplace. You may need a combination of filters, prefilters, cartridges, or canisters to protect against different forms of a chemical (such as vapor and mist) or against a mixture of chemicals. * Where the potential exists, for exposures not higher than 100 mg/m3, use supplied-air respirators with full facepiece, hood, helmet or suit, operated in positive pressure mode. * Where the potential exists for exposures greater than 100 mg/m3, use full facepiece, self-contained breathing apparatus operated in positive pressure mode. Common Name: Lead DOT Number: None DOT Emergency Guide code: No Citation CAS Number: 7439-92-1 Hazard rating NFPA FLamMABILITY Not Found REACTIVITY Not Found DO NOT USE WATER POISONOUS GAS IS PRODUCED IN FIRE Hazard Ra~ing Key: 0=mlnimal; l=slight; 2=moderate; 3=serious; 4=severe FIRE HAZARDS * Lead Powder is FL~!~Z~BLE when exposed to heat or flame. * POISONOUS GAS IS PRODUCED IN FIRE. * Use dry chemicals appropriate for extinguishing metal fires. Do not use water. * If employees are expected to fight fires, they must be trained and equipped as stated in OSHA 1910.156. SPILLS AND EMERGENCIES If Lead is spilled, take the following steps: * Restrict persons nc= wearing protective equipment from area of spill until clean-up is complete. * Ventilate the area of spill. * Collect powdered material in the most convenient and safe manner and deposit in sealed containers. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of Lead as a HAZARDOUS WASTE. Contact your Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) or your regional office of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for specific recommendations. FOR LARGE SPILLS AND FIRES immediately call your fire department. HANDLING AND STORAGE * Prior to working with Lead you should be trained on its proper handling and storage. * Lead must be stored to avoid contact with OXIDIZERS (such as PERCHLOP~ATES, PEROXIDES, PEPd~ANGANATES, CHLORATES and NITRATES) and CHEMICALLY ACTIVE METALS (such as POTASSIUM, SODIUM, MAGNESIUM and ZINC) since violent reactions occur. * Lead is regulated by an OSHA Standard 1910.1025. All requirements of the standard must be followed. FIRST AID Eye Contact * Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper' and lower lids. Skin Contact * Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Antidotes and Special Procedures * Persons with significant Lead poisoning are sometimes treated with EDTA while hospitalized. Since this drug causes a rush of Lead from body organs into the blood and kidneys and thus has its own hazards, it must be done only by experienced medical per sons under careful observation. It or other "chelating" drugs should never be used to prevent poisoning while exposures continues or without strict exposure control as severe kidney damage can result. PHYSICAL DATA Vapor Pressure: -1.77 mm Hg at 1832oF Water Solubility: Slightly soluble CHEMICAL NAME Lead Not intended to be copied and sold for commercial purposes. NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Right to Know Program CN 368, Trenton, NJ 08625-0368 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Lead and its compounds is one of the metals known since ancient times. It occurs widely in the earth's crust and can be dissolved from rocks and minerals into surface waters. Lead and its compounds have a variety of commercial and industrial uses, such as lead pipe, lead-lined containers for corrosive gases and liquids, tetraethyl lead, paint pigments, alloys in metallurgy, storage batteries, ceramics, electronic devices, and plastics. ACUTE (SHORT-TERM) ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS Acute toxic effects may include the death of animals,' birds, or fish, and death or low growth rate in plants. Acute effects are seen two to four days after animals or plants come in contact with a toxic chemical substance. Toxicity to aquatic life is affected by water hardness - the softer the water, the greater the toxicity. Lead and its compounds have high acute toxicity to aquatic life. Insufficient data are available to evaluate or predict the short-term effects of lead and its compounds to plants, birds, or land animals. CHRONIC (LONG-TERM) ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS Chronic toxic effects may include shortened lifespan, reproductive problems, lower fertility, and changes in appearance or behavior. Chronic effects can be seen long after first exposure(s) to a toxic chemical. Lead and its compounds have high chronic toxicity to aquatic life. Lead causes nerve and behavioral effects in humans and could cause similar long-term effects in birds and land animals exposed to lead and its compounds. WATER SOLUBILITY Lead and its compounds range in their respective water solubilities from highly soluble to practically insoluble. DISTRIBUTION AND PERSISTENCE IN THE ENVIRONMENT Lead and its compounds are highly persistent in water, with a half- life greater than 200 days. The half-life of a pollutant is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the chemical to be degraded. '\ BIOACCUMULATION IN AQUATIC ORGANISMS Some substances increase in concentration, or bioaccumulate, in living organisms as they breathe contaminated air, drink contaminated water, or eat contaminated food. These chemicals can become concentrated in the tissues and internal organs of animals and humans. The concentration of lead and its compounds found in fish tissues. is expected to be much higher than the average concentration of lead in the water from which the fish was taken.
