2 Hazard Controls (See the CH2M Hill HASP for generalinformation)This section defines safe work practices and control measures used to reduce or eliminate potential hazards. Suchpractices and controls are to be implemented by the party in control of either the site or the particular hazard.CH2M HILL employees and subcontractors must remain aware of the hazards affecting them regardless of who isresponsible for controlling the hazards. CH2M HILL employees and subcontractors who do not understand any ofthese provisions should contact the SSC for clarification.
2.1.3 Arsenic
• Team members shall take the computer based training found on the Virtual Office entitled Arsenic ExposureTraining. The pathway is: VO Company Resources Corporate Groups Health. Safety. I-jwironment &Quality Training &• Medical Training Training Courses1' Computer Based Training Arsenic Training.
• Team members shall review the Arsenic Fact Sheet found in Attachment 5 of this Health and Safety Plan.• Water should be added when activities create or could create airborne arsenic contaminated dust.• Personnel working near arsenic-contaminated soil shall exercise enhanced personal hygiene (frequent hand
washing prior to eating, drinking, and smoking; separation of work and street clothing/footwear, and so on).
2.2 Physical Hazards
2.2.1 Digging(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HS-112, Lifting)
• Digging activities have a potential for back injuries.• If someone is going to be digging remind them of the proper techniques which include:
Warming up and stretching before exertionUsing the legs to lift the weight of the full shovelUsing your feet to change direction to unload the shovel.
• Never twist your trunk when you are carrying a load.
2.3 Physiological Hazards
2.3.1 Sprains
• If the sprain is minor, the victim may be able to walk with little or no assistance.
MKE\053430006
• To reduce the swelling of a minor sprain, you must put ice on the injury (of course, be careful of frostbite andhypothermia in cold weather).
• You will also need to tape the injured joint using sports tape or an ace bandage and allow the injured person totake ibuprofen (only if they are not allergic to aspirin), if they intend to walk out.
• On the other hand, major sprains may appear to be fractures and should be treated as such.• Splint the injury and plan the best way to get the victim to medical care.
2.3.2 Cuts and Scrapes
• Take the time to wash the cut with soap and water, or an antiseptic towelette.• Cleaning the wound immediately will help prevent infection later
2.3.3 Cramps
• If someone experiences muscle cramps, have him or her sit or lie down and relax.• Massage and stretch the sore muscle slowly, gently, and carefully.• Have him or her drink water, eat a little, and start again slowly.• Drinking a sports drink like Gatorade will help replace salts that are lost because of sweating.• Replacing these salts may help reduce the muscle cramps and prevent them from recurring.
2.3.4 Blisters
• Blisters most commonly occur on the feet, especially if someone uses inappropriate socks, wet socks or boots, orboots that do not fit or are not broken in.
• Preventing blisters is the most important first aid: if someone feels a "hot spot" starting (from friction betweenthe skin and the boot) stop immediately and do something about it.
• Place a thin layer of moleskin or (believe it or not) duct tape on the affected area.• If you don't take care of the hot spot, it will become a blister: in this case, use the moleskin, but with a hole in it,
so that you don't place adhesive directly over the blister.• You want to minimize pressure on the blister by building up protective padding around it, but not too much or
you'll cause more problems.• Generally you should not pop blisters, both because they can become infected, and because they may become
more painful as you continue to walk.
2.3.5 Headaches
• Headaches result from many different things: dehydration, sunlight, tension, etc.• You can best treat the headache by treating the cause, if you know it.• Suggest that the person affected take aspirin, acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol), or ibuprofen (e.g., Advil), drink
water, eat a little, and, if possible, take a rest break.• Wearing sunglasses may prevent headaches from too much sunlight.
2.4 Biological Hazards
2.4.1 Bees and other insect stings
• Bees and other stinging insects may be encountered almost anywhere and may present a serious hazard,particularly to people who are allergic.
• Watch for and avoid nests.• Keep exposed skin to a minimum.• Carry a kit if you have had allergic reactions in the past, and inform the SSC and/or buddy.• If a stinger is present, remove it carefully with tweezers.• Wash and disinfect the wound, cover it, and apply ice.• Watch for allergic reaction; seek medical attention if a reaction develops.
MKE\053430006
2.4.2 Dog Bites
• Equip each field team with "Dog Repellant" spray.Read manufactures instructions.Position yourself up-wind if possible before using.Only use if attacked- not j ust threatened.
• Avoid all dogs - both leashed and stray.• Don't disturb a dog while it is sleeping, eating or caring for puppies.• If a dog approaches to sniff you - stay still.• An aggressive dog has a tight mouth, flattened ears and a direct stare.• If you're threatened by a dog, remain calm - don't scream and avoid eye contact.• If you say anything, speak calmly and firmly.• Don't turn and run - try to stay still until the dog leaves, or back away slowly until the dog is out of sight or you
have reached safety (e.g., vehicle).• If attacked, retreat to vehicle or attempt to place something between you and the dog.• If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your head and neck, and protect
your face.• If bitten, immediately scrub the bite site vigorously with soap and water.• Report the incident to the local authorities.• Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2.5.4 Lifting(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HS-112, Lifting)
• Use proper lining techniques must be used when lifting any object.• Plan storage and staging to minimize lifting or carrying distances.• Split heavy loads into smaller loads.• Use mechanical lifting aids whenever possible.• Have someone assist with the lift—especially for heavy or awkward loads.• Make sure the path of travel is clear prior to the lift.
2.5.8 Procedures for Locating Buried Utilities
Local Utility Mark-Out Service
Name: Gopher State One-CallPhone: 1-800-252-1166
• Obtain utility diagrams for the facility if available.• Review locations of sanitary and storm sewers, electrical conduits, water supply lines, natural gas lines, and fuel
tanks and lines.• Review proposed locations of intrusive work with facility personnel knowledgeable of locations of utilities.
Check locations against information from utility mark-out service.• Where necessary (as when uncertain about utility locations), perform excavation or drilling of the upper depth
interval manually.• Monitor for signs of utilities during advancement of intrusive work (for example, sudden change when
advancing auger or split spoon).• When the client or other onsite party is responsible for determining the presence and locations of buried utilities,
the SSC should confirm that arrangement.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable fraction for nuisance dusts.- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):10 mg/m3 total dust containing no asbestos and < 1% crystalline silica for Particulates Not OtherwiseClassified (PNOC).Ventilation System:A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the AirborneExposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of thecontaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIHdocument. Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn for up to ten times theexposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency orrespirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece dust/mist respirator may be worn up to 50 timesthe exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, orrespirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are notknown, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respiratorsdo not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.Skin Protection:Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.Eye Protection:Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
