contamination reduction zone, and the control of decontamination operations, are described in
Section 13.
12.1.3 Support Zone
The support zone is the outermost area of the site and is considered a non-contaminated or clean
area. The support zone contains the command post for field operations, first-aid stations, and
other investigation and cleanup support. Normal work clothes are appropriate apparel within this
zone. Potentially contaminated personnel, clothing or equipment are not permitted.
12.2 SITE SECURITY
Site security for investigation and remedial activities is necessary to prevent exposure of
unauthorized, unprotected individuals in the work area. No unauthorized personnel shall be
allowed within the fenced perimeter of the Site. Site access will be coordinated with the LAUSD
security at the Site. Site security for specific tasks will be enforced by the SHSO or a designated
alternate who will ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed in the work area and that
entry personnel have the required level of PPE, are trained under the requirements of Title 8
CCR 5192, and are on a current medical monitoring program.
General site security also is necessary to protect site workers and LAUSD property from
individuals who approach the site with intent to cause harm or damage. In the event that
individuals approach the site with intent to cause harm or damage, handheld radios will be used
to communicate the potential danger between the LAUSD security command post at the site and
on-site workers. The LAUSD security personnel will contact the local police department, if
necessary. On-site workers will take refuge in their work vehicle.
12.3 SITE COMMUNICATION
Internal site communication is necessary to alert field team members in the exclusion and
contamination reduction zones to:
• Emergency conditions;
• Convey safety information; and
• Communicate changes or clarification in the work to be performed.
For internal site communication, the field team members will use prearranged hand signals (and
responses). Radios may also be used for communication in the event of an emergency to alert
employees.
Site alarms include:
One horn blast = look this way; pay attention
Three horn blasts, repeated = local evacuation, gather at field office for further instructions
Five horn blasts, repeated = general site evacuation, gather off-site (north of site on Adella)
External site communication is necessary to coordinate emergency response teams and to
maintain contact with essential offsite personnel. A telephone located at the LAUSD security
guard station will be available for use for external site communication. In the event that the land
