40000 PL 0014 H&S Controls
The Health and Safety Controls portion of the Remedial Design Package is designed to illustrate
the planned preventative or mitigative measures to address the occupational hazards identified
for the Silos Project The Health and Safety Controls are presented consistent with the Silos
Health and Safety Plan The Silos Health and Safety Plan takes into account the specific hazards
inherent to the Silos Project site and presents procedures to be followed by Fluor Fernald its
subcontractors and all other on site personnel to avoid and if necessary protect against health
and/or safety hazards Exhibit 1 0 1 an excerpt from the Silos Health and Safety Plan illustrates
the activities associated with the Silos Project and the hazards associated with the activities
. The Health and Safety Matrix (Exhibit 1 0 2) lists the occupational hazards as identified in the
Silos Project Health and Safety Plan The hazards identified in the Health and Safety Matrix are
limited to those considered to be common construction and/or occupational safety hazards
These hazards are addressed by the safety programs policies and procedures used to ensure that
work is performed safely Some of the health and safety controls used to mitigate the
occupational hazards identified are listed in terms of
0 Frequency and type of monitoring required
0 Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)
0 Trahinp Requirements
0 Medical Monitoring Requirements
0 Administrative and Engineering Control Measures
0 Permit@)
0 Decontamination and Disposal Procedures
The FEW Emergency Plan PL 3020 describes the emergency management program that
responds to potential hazards at the site Potential hazards identified at FEME) include severe
weather hazardous and radiological material releases bomb threats vehicldtransportation
accidents earthquakes and other events The Emergency Plan identifies the responsible parties
to contact in the event of an emergency and details which personnel would respond to the event
Specific elements of emergency support procedures are addressed in the Silos Project Health and
Safety Plan These elements include communications local emergency support units
preparation for medical emergencies first aid for injuries incurred on site record keeping and
emergency site evacuation procedures
The health and safety controls will be developed firther as the Operations Phase of the Silos
Project is hrther delineated and with the development of activity specific Work Plans
Additional occupational hazards and associated mitigative measures may be identified as the
project progresses
