OHM RemediationServices Corp. HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN5.9 CORRECTIVE LENSESNormal eyeglasses cannot be worn under full-face respirators because the temple bars interferewith the respirator’s sealing surfaces. For workers requiring corrective lenses, specialspectacles designed for use with respirators will be provided.5.10 CONTACT LENSESContact lenses will not be worn with any type of respirator.5.11 MEDICAL CERTIFICATIONOnly workers who have been certified by a physician as being physically capable of respiratorusage will be issued a respirator. Personnel unable to pass a respiratory fit test or withoutmedical clearance for respirator use will not be permuted to enter or work in areas on site thatrequire respiratory protection. Employees receive a written physicians opinion that they are fitfor general hazardous waste operations as per 29 CFR 1910.120(f)(7).5.12 SITE-SPECIFIC RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAMThe primary objective of respiratory protection is to prevent employee exposure to atmosphericcontamination. When engineering measures to control contamination are not feasible, or whilethey are being implemented, personal respiratory protective devices will be used.The criteria for determining respirator need have been evaluated based on the site contaminantsand expected levels of protection are outlined in Section 5.1. Air monitoring will be conductedto confirm that respiratory protection levels are adequate (Section 7.0). All respirator users areOSHA trained in proper respirator use and maintenance. The SS and SSO will observeworkers during respirator use for signs of stress. The SS, CIH, and SSO will also evaluatethis HASP periodically to determine its continued effectiveness with regard to respiratoryprotection. All persons assigned to use respirators will have medical clearance to do so.OHM Project 16487SSHSP Health and Safety plan July 1995Information herein is proprietary and confidential and to be used or r&ased to others only with explicit writt~ permission of OHM RmediationServices Corp.5-4
