Site Specific Health & Safety Plan (HASP)
• All field crew members should make use of all of their senses to alert themselves
to potentially dangerous situations to avoid (e.g., presence of strong and irritating
or nauseating odors).
• Personnel will practice unfamiliar operations prior to performing them in the
field.
• Field crew members will be familiar with the physical characteristics of
investigations and field demonstrations, including:
− Wind direction in relation to contamination zones;
− Accessibility to co-workers, equipment, vehicles and communication devices;
− Communication signals and devices;
− Hot zone locations (areas of known or suspected contamination);
− Site access; and
− Nearest water sources.
• Personnel and equipment in the designated work area should be minimized, consistent
with effective site operations.
The discovery of any condition that would suggest the existence of a situation more hazardous
than anticipated will result in the reevaluation of the hazard and the level of protection required,
and may result in a temporary evacuation of the field team from the immediate work area. Such
conditions may include an adverse effect or symptom of exposure experienced by a field team
member, or the excess of the action levels for organic vapors and/or combustible vapors. If the
action levels for organic vapors and/or combustibles are exceeded, procedures will be followed
as stated in Section 10 of this health and safety plan.
In the event that local Parsons management is not available during an emergency such as an
injury to Parsons employees or contractor personnel, damage to facilities or operations, or threats
against personnel or operations, Parsons personnel will contact the Parsons Emergency Contact
Service. This hotline provides live telephone call support in English and Spanish 24-hours a day,
7 days a week, and 365 days a year for immediate guidance and response when local
management is not available. The telephone number for this service is located along with the
other emergency numbers in Attachment 1.
4.9 INCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS
All incidents and significant near-miss incidents are investigated by an individual or team with
training in accident investigation and root cause analysis. Subcontractors (if applicable) must
investigate incidents involving their employees or activities and submit an investigation report to
the Parsons Project Manager within 48 hours of an incident.
In Parsons, the GBU Safety Manager investigates or assigns an investigator to each significant
incident. The investigator submits a final investigation report using the online safety reporting
system within 72 hours of the incident. The Project Safety Manager maintains the investigation
file.
