Identify the requirements for
implementing a Safety and
Health Program for operation at a
hazardous waste site.
CONDITION:
In a classroom environment.

ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 Identify the components of a Safety and
Health Program.
Identify the components of a Site Specific
Safety and Health Plan.
Identify the components of an Emergency
Response Plan.
Utilize a Site Safety Plan.
3
Requirements
• Health and safety program, site
specific safety plan, and on-site
emergency plan.
– Is required under 29 CFR 1910.120 for
both hazardous waste site operations
and emergency response.
• “Employers shall develop and implement
a written safety and health program for
their employees involved in hazardous
waste operations.”
4
Requirements
– The program is designed to develop and
implement a system that identifies,
evaluates, and controls the safety and
health hazards.
5
Health and Safety Program
-Components• Define Organizational Structure
• Comprehensive Workplan
• A Site-Specific Safety and Health
Plan
• Safety and Health Training Program
• Medical Surveillance
• Employer’s SOPs
• Document Interface
6
Define Organizational Structure
• The organizational structure must be
defined. This includes:
– Identification of a General Supervisor
who has the authority to direct all
hazardous waste operations
– Identification of the individual
responsible for safety and health (Site
Safety Officer)
7
Define Organizational Structure
– Identification of the other personnel who
are needed for the project, their general
functions and responsibilities
– Documentation of lines of authority,
responsibility, and communications
8
Comprehensive Workplan
• A comprehensive workplan must be
developed which describes the
anticipated activities which will be
required. The following steps are
necessary for the development of the
work plan.
– Review the available information
regarding site characterization
9
Comprehensive Workplan
– Define work objectives
– Determine the methods necessary to
accomplish the identified objectives
– Determine personnel and resource
requirements
– Provide for implementation of the
required training, informational programs
and medical surveillance for personnel.
Evaluate these areas against the tasks
that must be performed.
10
Site-Specific Safety & Health Plan
• The site-specific safety and health plan
establishes policies and procedures to
protect workers and the public from the
potential hazards posed by the site
11
Components of a Site Specific Health
and Safety Plan
• Hazard and risk analysis for each task
and operation found in work plan
• Employee training assignments to
assure compliance with 29 CFR
1910.120(e).
– Formal training based on job
requirements
– Supervised field experience.
12
Components of a Site Specific Health
and Safety Plan
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)
used by employees for each site task and
operations conducted
– Varies from task to task and includes
entry and decontamination personnel
• Medical surveillance requirements as
defined by 29 CFR 1910.120(f).
13
Components of a Site Specific Health
and Safety Plan
• Frequency and types of air
monitoring, personnel monitoring,
environmental sampling techniques,
instrumentation required, methods
of maintenance and calibration of
instruments.
14
Components of a Site Specific Health
and Safety Plan
• Site control measures including
mapping site, establishing work
zones, use of the “buddy system”, a
communications plan, standard
operating procedures for safe work
practices, and an emergency
medical plan.
15
Components of a Site Specific Health
and Safety Plan
• Decontamination procedures must
be defined and documented prior to
the initiation of site operations.
• Emergency response plan must be
documented including the personal
protective and other equipment
required.
16
Components of a Site Specific Health
and Safety Plan
• Confined space entry procedures
must be documented.
• A spill containment program
documenting response procedures
for on-site spills must be in place.
17
Check On Learning
What Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) governs the Health and
Safety Program, Site Safety Plan
and On-Site Emergency Plan?
What are the components of a Site
Specific Safety Program?
The Health and Safety Program is
designed to do what?
18
Elements of an
Emergency Response
Plan
One key element of the site
safety plan is the actions to
be taken in the event of an
emergency.
19
Elements of an Emergency
Response Plan
• Pre-Emergency Planning
• Lines of Authority and
Communication
• Emergency Recognition and
Prevention
• Safe Distances and Places of
Refuge
• Site Security and Control
• Evacuation Routes and
Procedures
20
Elements of an Emergency
Response Plan
• Decontamination
• Emergency Medical Treatment and First
Aid
• Emergency Alerting and Response
• Necessary Emergency Equipment
• Critique of Response
21
Pre-Emergency Planning
• This is an essential element of the
site safety plan. It is possible that
emergency incidents may occur
that are beyond the capability of
the personnel working on the site
to deal with. This necessitates the
identification of, and coordination
with emergency response forces.
22
Lines of Authority and
Communication
• Personnel roles, lines of authority and
communication must be defined in writing
prior to an emergency.
•
• Hazardous materials response team
• Fire brigade.
• Police
• Other state or federal agencies as
needed
23
Emergency Recognition and
Prevention
• Before daily work assignments, the
following information should be reviewed
with all personnel:
– The tasks to be performed.
– Any time constraints.
– Specific hazards that may be
encountered, including their effects, how
to recognize symptoms, and other
24
danger signals.
Safe Distances and Places of
Refuge
• Must be defined. These distances will
vary with the substances involved and
the nature of the emergency.
25
Site Security and Control
• Site security and control is a critical
concern in the event of an
emergency. Methods for
controlling access to the cold zone
and hot zone must be identified.
26
Check on Learning
What are the Emergency Response
Plan elements?
During hazardous operations the
organization structure includes the
following personnel?
Before daily work assignments, what
information should be reviewed with
all personnel?
27
Evacuation Routes
and Procedures
These are as important at
a hazardous waste site as
they are in a building in
the event of a fire.
Consider the following
guidelines in the
establishment of
evacuation routes.
28
Evacuation Routes and Procedures
• Place evacuation routes upwind and through
the decon corridor.
• Consider the accessibility of evacuation
routes. Avoid obstructions and obstacles.
• Develop multiple routes & Mark routes
distinctively.
• Mark routes as safe or not safe on a daily
basis.
• Consider the mobility limitations of
personnel in PPE.
• Make escape routes known to all
personnel on site.
29
Decontamination Procedures
• Decontamination procedures which are
not covered by the site safety and health
plan must be defined.
30
Emergency Medical Treatment and
First Aid
• This must be documented and includes:
– Who will be responsible for initial onsite care and treatment of injured
personnel.
– The location of the nearest hospital
and emergency medical services
provider and method for accessing
the emergency medical services
system.
31
Emergency Alerting and Response
• This must be defined and documented.
How will personnel be notified of an onsite emergency and what are their
duties.
• It is useful to have a defined audible
signal for emergencies and have
personnel respond to a specified
location when the alarm is sounded.
32
Necessary Emergency Equipment
Identify what equipment will be
necessary in the event of an
emergency.
- PPE
- Medical Supplies
- Vehicles etc….
33
Critique of Response
• Critique of response and follow-up
is a critical component of the
emergency response plan. If you
have responded to an emergency,
identify what worked well and what
needs improvement (and then
change the plan).
34
Site Safety Plan
• Site Description
• Entry Objectives
• Organization
• On-site Control
• Personal Protective Clothing (PPE)
35
Site Safety Plan
• On-site Work Plans.
• Decontamination Process.
• Communications Procedures.
• Emergency Procedures.
