(from 242 FW 6, Exhibit 2)

A site safety plan specific for each Hazardous Waste Site will be
prepared. The following basic elements will be addressed in each site
plan.

**I. Background.** A listing of contaminants and a discussion of the
safety and health implications of each.

**II. Site Location**

**A.** Perimeter determination

**B.** Marking of the perimeter

**C.** Existing geographic features, public utilities, and/or private
improvements

**D.** Security measures to preclude unauthorized entry

**E.** A clearly defined means of egress from the site.

**F.** A clearly defined primary and backup route to the nearest
hospital or route to a backup hospital.

**III. Site Layout**

**A.** Determination of contaminated zones

**1.** Exclusion Zone (contaminated)

**(a)** Area A

**(i)** Where atmospheres may be IDLH

> **(ii)** Known atmospheres containing concentrations capable of being
> absorbed through the skin or eyes in toxic quantities

**(b)** Area B

> **(i)** Where atmospheric concentration of contaminant is known and
> the concentration of contaminants is greater than the protection
> factor for air purifying respirators
>
> **(ii)** Oxygen deficient or oxygen enriched atmospheres

**(iii)** Skin absorbed contaminants are not present

**(iv)** Safeguards preclude splashing of individuals

**(c)** Area C

> **(i)** Air contaminant levels do not exceed the protection factors of
> air-purifying respirators
>
> **(ii)** The contaminant is not a known skin absorber
>
> **(iii)** A reliable history of prior entry exists without acute or
> chronic effects on personnel

**(d)** Area D

> **(i)** No known airborne health hazards present
>
> **(ii)** This is the minimum protection area inside the exclusion zone
>
> **2.** Contamination Reduction Zone. Provides area to prevent transfer
> of contaminants from the Exclusion Zone to the Clean Zone
>
> **3.** Clean Zone. The outer area, considered to be clear of
> contamination

**B.** Location of support facilities, criteria for selection/

> **1.** Compatibility with existing prevalent wind directions and
> associated factors
>
> **2.** Ability to remove decontaminated material
>
> **3.** Ability to limit contamination spread
>
> **C.** Methods and procedures for the prevention of contamination
> spread
>
> **D.** Access to existing roadways and any associated problems with
> access and egress to the site

**IV. Personnel Protection**

> **A.** Determination of PPE for each contaminated zone and area
>
> **B.** Establishment of medical requirements and methods of
> implementation
>
> **C.** An evaluation by the OHP of employees\' ability to wear PPE
>
> **D.** A written PPE document
>
> **E.** Training specific to each piece of PPE
>
> **F.** Instruction on proper cleaning, repair, and storage of
> equipment
>
> **G.** Procedures for equipment decontamination
>
> **H.** Proper fitting and limitations

**V. Contaminant Monitoring (airborne)**

> **A.** Personnel monitoring
>
> **B.** Area monitoring

**VI. Decontamination**

> **A.** Personnel decontamination procedures
>
> **B.** Equipment decontamination procedures
>
> **C.** Scrap decontamination procedures
>
> **1.** Scrap means expendable materials used in the mitigation and/or
> evaluation process, such as disposable containers, clothing and
> plastic sheeting

**VII. Communications**

> **A.** Communications on site compatible with protective equipment
> used
>
> **B.** Communications with on call emergency equipment

**VIII. Emergency Procedures**

> **A.** Chemical exposure
>
> **B.** Personal injury
>
> **C.** Potential or actual fire or explosion
>
> **D.** Environmental accident
>
> **E.** Radiation

**IX. Training**

> **A.** Training plan including refresher training for government
> employees
>
> **B.** Training requirements for contractor personnel
