<strong>Site</strong> <strong>Specific</strong> <strong>Health</strong> & <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> (<strong>HASP</strong>)<br />
4.11.4.3 Decontamination of Personnel During an Emergency<br />
Procedures for leaving a contaminated area must be planned <strong>and</strong> implemented prior to going<br />
onsite. Decontamination areas <strong>and</strong> procedures will be established based on anticipated site<br />
conditions. If a member of the field crew is exposed to chemicals, the emergency procedures<br />
outlined below will be followed:<br />
• Another team member (buddy) will assist or remove the individual from the<br />
immediate area of contamination to an upwind location.<br />
• Precautions will be taken to avoid exposure of other individuals to the chemical.<br />
• If the chemical is on the individual's clothing, the clothing will be removed if it is<br />
safe to do so.<br />
• Administer first aid <strong>and</strong> transport the victim to the nearest medical facility, if<br />
necessary.<br />
If uninjured employees are required to evacuate a contaminated area in an emergency situation,<br />
emergency decontamination procedures will be followed. At a minimum, these would involve<br />
moving into a safe area <strong>and</strong> removing protective equipment. Care will be taken to minimize<br />
contamination of the safe area <strong>and</strong> personnel. Contaminated clothing will be placed in plastic<br />
garbage bags or other suitable containers. Employees will wash or shower as soon as possible.<br />
4.11.4.4 Emergency <strong>Site</strong> Security <strong>and</strong> Control<br />
For this project, the Field Team Manager (or designated representative) must know who is on<br />
site <strong>and</strong> who is in the work area. Personnel access into the work area will be controlled. In an<br />
emergency situation, only necessary rescue <strong>and</strong> response personnel will be allowed into the<br />
exclusion zone.<br />
4.11.4.5 Procedures for Emergency Medical Treatment <strong>and</strong> First Aid<br />
The following procedures will be implemented in the event of an emergency.<br />
Chemical Exposure<br />
In the event of chemical exposure (skin contact, inhalation, ingestion), the following procedures<br />
will be implemented:<br />
• Another team member (buddy) will assist or remove the individual from the<br />
immediate area of contamination to an upwind location.<br />
• Precautions will be taken to avoid exposure of other individuals to the chemical.<br />
• If the chemical is on the individual's clothing, the clothing will be removed if it is<br />
safe to do so.<br />
• If the chemical has contacted the skin, the skin will be washed with copious<br />
amounts of water, preferably under a shower.<br />
• Each crew will have, at a minimum, an ANSI-approved personal eyewash suitable<br />
for initial eye flushing while the injured person is moved to an emergency<br />
eyewash station or medical facility.<br />
