East Palestine Derailment HASP Preamble and User's Guide
The East Palestine Derailment site maintains a dynamic status and includes a variety of
operational theatres. The purpose of this Health and Safety Plan (HASP) model is to fulfill the
requirements established in the HAZWOPER standard 29 CFR 1910.120(b). Pursuant to this standard,
this HASP seeks to fulfill established criteria while remaining flexible for sustainable implementation.
Perhaps the greatest objective is to provide critical information for site workers to bolster individual safe
work practices.
Plan Construction & Utilization Scope
No one safety plan can fully address all hazards for all tasks on all days. However, this HASP
model was constructed to drive the safety culture to optimize Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and tailgate
briefings to ensure that the conveyance of planning-level hazard awareness is driven into the field where
it is most necessary. This HASP is built upon 4 levels, specifically: 1) Comprehensive Site HASP; 2)
Divisional HASP; 3) Operational Risk Analysis; and, 4) Frontline safety tools and documentation. This
user's guide was prepared to facilitate proper use and consistent utilization across all working theatres.
The following diagram outlines the plan's components.

Engagement
The site HASP was written to comprehensively address site-wide hazards ranging from industrial
wreck site operations to work activity with socio-environmental hazards. This plan relies on the
Operational Division HASP to further address operation-specific hazards and controls specific to the eight
respective environments and workforce dynamics. For each Operational Division, an Operational Risk
Analysis is conducted to focus on high-consequence risk based on the operational tactics. The Operational
Risk Analysis is a focused step to address the hazards more in-depth and establish control measures that
may not be necessary in other operational divisions. Lastly, the field-based HASP tools represent the
"living" portion of the plan wherein day-to-day changes are captured and communicated to site workers
performing the work.

HASP Progression to Field Activity
The following diagram illustrates the progression from the site-wide HASP down through each planning
function ultimately yielding functional safety planning tools for regular consumption by the workforce at
large.

Implementation
All personnel should review and be aware of the site-wide HASP (Blue Plan) to gain a full
understanding of the site's hazard profile and exposure control provisions. Once the full plan has been
reviewed and understood, the Operational Division HASP (Green Plan) will serve as each division's
platform to bolt on additional hazards and safety controls not addressed in the Blue Plan based on the
dynamic nature of the operational periods and new tactics. The Operational Risk Analysis is intended to
be completed initially to provide a more rigorous review of high-consequence hazards along with the
benefit of prescriptive controls. Lastly, the content derived from the Green Plan and Operational Risk
Analysis should serve as the basis for JSA and tailgate briefing content. The JSA and tailgate briefings
will bear the responsibility of in-field additions to the overall HASP, where document retention will
capture nuance safety matters and the controls employed.

6 Medical Surveillance
Site-Specific
Requirements
Based on limited worker exposure to hazardous substances at or above the PELs or other published exposure limits (less than 30
days per year); limited use of respirators (less than 30 days per year); and the absence of an employee-staffed HAZMAT team, the
medical surveillance program required at this site is also limited. The site medical surveillance program provides that:
1. workers assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators receive medical examinations in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.13 4€ to ensure they are physically capable to perform the work and use the equipment,
2. workers who could potentially be exposed to chemical contaminants at this site are covered by a medical protocol addressing
this exposure, and
3. if a worker is injured, becomes ill, or develops signs or symptoms of possible over-exposure to hazardous substances or
health hazards, medical examinations are provided to that worker as soon as possible after the occurrence and as required by
the attending physician.
Medical examinations and procedures are performed by or under the supervision of a licensed physician and are provided to
employees free of cost, without loss of pay, and at a reasonable time and place. The need to implement a more comprehensive
medical surveillance program will be re-evaluated in the event of an over-exposure incident.
Site Medical Surveillance
Program Scope
All personnel who enter contaminated areas of this site are covered by the medical surveillance program. In addition, all workers
assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators receive medical evaluations in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134€ to ensure they
are physically capable to perform the work and use the equipment.
Substance-specific
Medical Surveillance
Requirements
29 CFR 1910.1017(k)
Applies for persons whose exposure exceeds the OSHA Action Level of 0.5 as 8-hour TWA for

4 NIOSH Emergency Response Safety and Health Database, Dupont Safe Spec™, Wiley Quick Selection Guide, 6th edition
5 NIOSH does not recommend using full-face APR for VC. OSHA does permit using full-face APR in the VC standard but limits the maximum use concentration to 10 ppm (1910.1017(f)(3)(ii)).
Caution is warranted for use of APR due to the lack of supporting documentation by the three major respirator manufacturers. See APR changeout schedule on the following page.

8 Decontamination
Decontamination Procedures
Personnel (Level A, B, C) Decontamination Procedures:
Personnel decon is primarily conducted as a boot wash procedure due to the limited use of chemical protective clothing beyond footwear. For chemical suit decontamination,
use the following procedure:
Station 1: Equipment Drop
Deposit equipment used on site (tools, sampling devices and monitoring instruments, radios, etc.) on plastic drop cloths. These items must be decontaminated or discarded
as waste prior to removal from the exclusion zone.
Station 2: Outer Boot and Outer Gannent Soap Wash
Scrub outer boots, outer gloves and/or splash suit with decontamination solution or detergent water. Rinse off using water.
Station 3: Outer Boot and Outer Gannent Rinse
Rinse off using water.
Emergency Decontamination Procedures:
Render first aid first unless contamination puts responders at risk. If such contamination exists, use a high-volume flush from water sources onsite. There is a HAZMAT fire
truck on site that can be used if flushing is necessary. Otherwise, first responders should don nitrile gloves when rendering first aid out of an abundance of caution.
Heavy Equipment Decontamination Procedures:
Truck, transport, and heavy machinery decontamination is located at Leake Oil Corp, on Taggart Rd. High pressure rinse is the primary method of decontamination to loosen
mud and debris from the wheels and soiled portions of the vehicle.
Sampling Equipment Decontamination Procedures:
Decontamination of equipment must be performed by using portable wash tubs, sprayers, and disposable scrub brushes. Any equipment that cannot be thoroughly
decontaminated along with the contents from the wash tub should be decontaminated with higher means such as high-pressure or high temperature with suitable solutions.
Decontamination Waste Disposal Procedures:
Decontamination waste must be segregated, characterized, and disposed of with similar appropriate waste streams generated by the response
Decontamination Equipment:
Location Stored On Site:
Plastic sheeting
Table, chairs, and tent (if possible)
Kiddie swimming pools
5-gallon pails and scrub brushes
Pump (hand or electric)
Water sprayer
Decontamination solution (detennined in SDS)
Sorbent materials (towels, boom, kitty litter)

10 HYGIENE AND SANITATION
Personnel Hygiene and Biological Provisions
Toilets:
Portable toilets have been located throughout the work site, primarily in the affected track work zones and frac tank staging.
• All portable toilets must be maintained with a 10-person for 1-week maximum usage.
• Portable toilets should be accompanied by a hand-wash station.
• Portable toilets should be located away from break areas of food stations to reduce the potential for biological hazards.
• Where necessary, adequate facilities should be provided for both men and women's usage needs.
Hand sanitizer is located throughout office work areas. Adequate supplies should be maintained to encourage continuous use to prevent the spread of illness.
Biological Waste Removal
Portable toilet waste should be removed only by a qualified and reputable company whose contract maintains the provision of servicing on a 1-week frequency. Hand-wash
stations should also be serviced and have adequate supply of soap, water, and drying towels.

6 Decontamination
Decontamination Procedures
Personnel (Level A, B, C) Decontamination Procedures:
Decontamination of personnel is largely focused on boot wash to prevent contamination migration outside of EZ:
Station 1: Boot Wash/Scrub
Using available boot wash stations, remove heavy soils and mud with soap and brush.
Station 2: Rinse
Using secondary decon pool, rinse boots free of remaining soils and soap.
Emergency Decontamination Procedures:
If exposure occurs, use the least aggressive but affective means to decon personnel before rendering first aid. If life saving means are necessary, dismiss decontamination unless a
greater hazard is posed to the attending first aid personnel. First aid personnel should use nitrile gloves or conduct localized decontamination to assess injured persons.

6 Decontamination
Decontamination Procedures
Personnel (Level A, B, C) Decontamination Procedures:
Decontamination of personnel is largely focused on boot wash to prevent contamination migration outside of EZ:
Station 1: Boot Wash/Scrub
Using available boot wash stations, remove heavy soils and mud with soap and brush.
Station 2: Rinse
Using secondary decon pool, rinse boots free of remaining soils and soap.
Emergency Decontamination Procedures:
If exposure occurs, use the least aggressive but affective means to decon personnel before rendering first aid. If life saving means are necessary, dismiss decontamination unless a
greater hazard is posed to the attending first aid personnel. First aid personnel should use nitrile gloves or conduct localized decontamination to assess injured persons.

6 Decontamination (Be advised, if Sampling or Visiting Work Areas, please proceed with directives below)
Decontamination Procedures
Personnel (Level A, B, C) Decontamination Procedures:
Decontamination of personnel is largely focused on boot wash to prevent contamination migration outside of EZ:
Station 1: Boot Wash/Scrub
Using available boot wash stations, remove heavy soils and mud with soap and brush.
Station 2: Rinse
Using secondary decon pool, rinse boots free of remaining soils and soap.
Emergency Decontamination Procedures:
If exposure occurs, use the least aggressive but affective means to decon personnel before rendering first aid. If life saving means are necessary, dismiss decontamination unless a
greater hazard is posed to the attending first aid personnel. First aid personnel should use nitrile gloves or conduct localized decontamination to assess injured persons.

6 Decontamination (Should not be necessary; however, if visiting work area, please proceed with directives below)
Decontamination Procedures
Personnel (Level A, B, C) Decontamination Procedures:
Decontamination of personnel is largely focused on boot wash to prevent contamination migration outside of EZ:
Station 1: Boot Wash/Scrub
Using available boot wash stations, remove heavy soils and mud with soap and brush.
Station 2: Rinse
Using secondary decon pool, rinse boots free of remaining soils and soap.
Emergency Decontamination Procedures:
If exposure occurs, use the least aggressive but affective means to decon personnel before rendering first aid. If life saving means are necessary, dismiss decontamination unless a
greater hazard is posed to the attending first aid personnel. First aid personnel should use nitrile gloves or conduct localized decontamination to assess injured persons.

Butyl acrylate
Hazardous Property
Important Considerations & Safety Procedures
Health Hazard
Acute exposure to butyl acrylate vapor can cause redness, tearing, and irritation of the eyes, runny nose, scratchy
throat, difficult breathing, and redness and cracking of skin. Repeated contact of the skin with butyl acrylate may
cause skin sensitization in some individuals, with redness, swelling, itching, and oozing of the affected areas.
Nervous system and behavioral effects are also possible. (NIOSH, 1992).
OSHA (GHS) hazard statements:
~ Causes skin irritation,
~ May cause allergic skin reaction,
~ Causes serious eye irritation,
~ Harmful if inhaled, and
~ May cause respiratory irritation
Flammability & Explosion
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive
mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier
than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements,
tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a
(P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or
explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG,
2016)
Flash Point: 120 ° F (NTP, 1992)
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL): 1.5 % (NTP, 1992)
Upper Explosive Limit (UEL): 9.9 % (NTP, 1992)
Autoignition Temperature: 534 ° F (USCG, 1999)
Firefighting
Excerpt from ERG Guide 129P [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]:
CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may
be inefficient.
SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, C02, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use dry chemical
extinguishers to control fires involving nitromethane (UN1261) or nitroethane (UN2842).
LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use straight streams. Move
containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
1 NOAA CAMEO Chemicals, Globally Harmonized System, OSHA
-------
i\joFti=oL-i< sou~rni=Ftr\i • Job Safety Analysis Chemical-Specific Worksheet Butyl acrylate
FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use
unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until
well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or
discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned
hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG,
2016)
Reactivity
BUTYL ACRYLATE reacts exothermically with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids.
Reacts with strong oxidizing agents, perhaps sufficiently exothermically to ignite the reaction
products. Mixing with basic solutions generates heat. Generates flammable hydrogen with alkali
metals and hydrides. Attacks many plastics [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 233], Polymerizes
readily, generating much heat in a reaction that is favored by heat and light [Handling Chemicals
Safely 1980. p. 235],
From DOW (Manufacturer): Stable under recommended storage conditions. Unstable at elevated
temperatures. Hygroscopic inhibitor may be added to product, depending on whether classified as
"stabilized". However this material can undergo hazardous polymerization. Avoid moisture. Do not
blanket or purge with an inert gas to avoid depleting of oxygen concentration. Avoid direct sunlight
or ultraviolet sources.
Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Avoid contact with: aldehydes, azides, amines, ethers, free
radical inhibitors, halides, mercaptans, mineral acids, peroxides, rust, strong inorganic bases; metals
such as: brass and copper. Avoid unintended contact with silica gel and activated carbon. Avoid
contact with absorbent materials such as clay-based sorbents.
Volatility/Mobility
Vapor Pressure: 10 mm Hg at 95.9 ° F ; 4 mm Hg at 68° F (NTP, 1992)
Vapor Density (Relative to Air): 4.42 (NTP, 1992)
Specific Gravity: 0.899 at 68 ° F (USCG, 1999)
Boiling Point: 295 to 298 ° F at 760 mm Hg (NTP, 1992)
Molecular Weight: 128.17 (NTP, 1992)
Water Solubility: less than 1 mg/mL at 68° F (NTP, 1992)

First Aid Measures
Exposure Recommended First Aid Treatment
Inhalation
INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as
wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be
prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown
atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a
level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothinq.
Skin & Eye Contact
SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash
all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop,
IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline
solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any
ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY
transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
Ingestion
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to
dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Be prepared to transport the victim to a
hospital if advised by a physician. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure
that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Do not
direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur. Withdraw immediately in case of
rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks
engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is
impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)
Reactivity
VINYL CHLORIDE is peroxidizable. Forms explosive polymeric peroxides in contact with air (in the
presence of any of a variety of catalysts) [Bretherick 1979. p. 164], Long storage in contact with air
increases the concentration of the polyperoxides to hazardous levels [MCA Case History 1551. 1969],
The peroxides may initiate exothermic polymerization of the remaining material [Handling Chemicals
Safely 1980.p. 958; Bretherick 1979. p. 160], Light-sensitive. Many oxidizing agents apparently
initiate polymerization (oxides of nitrogen, 02, etc.). May react with very hot water or steam to
produce toxic fumes.

Pressurized System
Vinyl chloride tankcars are typically equipped with a PRV rated for 225 psig. If using pressure assist
to transfer, ensure that pressurization does not exceed the PRV capacity thus resulting in vapor
emissions.

Inhalation
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to
transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth,
throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible,
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that
advised under Protective Clothing.
Skin & Eye Contact
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for
20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in
the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital
even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
SKIN: CAUTION: Exposure of skin to compressed gases may result in freezing of the skin. Treatment for frostbite may be
necessary. Remove the victim from the source of contamination. IMMEDIATELY wash affected areas gently with COLD water (and
soap, if necessary) while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Dry carefully with clean, soft towels. If symptoms such
as inflammation or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician or go to a hospital for treatment.

NIOSH does not recommend using full-face APR for VC. OSHA does permit using full-face APR in the VC standard, but limits the maximum use concentration to 10 ppm (1910.1017(f)(3)(ii)).
Caution is warranted for use of APR due to the lack of supporting documentation by the three major respirator manufacturers. See APR changeout schedule on the following page.

5.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT
5.1 Chemical Hazards
Vinyl Chloride is a colorless gas with a sweet odor. Easily ignited. Shipped as a liquefied gas under own
vapor pressure. Contact with the unconfined liquid may cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Leaks
may be liquid or vapor. Vapors are heavier than air. May asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Under
prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Suspected
carcinogen. Used to make plastics, adhesives, and other chemicals. Chemical health hazards include
INHALATION: high concentrations cause dizziness, anesthesia, lung irritation. SKIN: may cause frostbite;
phenol inhibitor may be absorbed through skin if large amounts of liquid evaporate. (USCG, 1999)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a mixture of butane, isobutane, propane, propylene, butylenes and other
hydrocarbons of low molecular weight that is refined from petroleum. Maintained as a liquid under
pressure. Leaking vessels can release either the liquid, which quickly vaporizes, or the gaseous mixture.
The gas is heavier than air- a flame can flash back to the source of the leak very easily. Under prolonged
exposure to heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Used as a fuel, an aerosol propellant,
in cigarette lighters, and to make other chemicals. Chemical health hazards include Concentrations in air
greater than 10%; cause dizziness in a few minutes, 1% concentrations give the same symptom in 10 min.
High concentrations cause asphyxiation. (USCG, 1999)
Isobutylene is a colorless gas with a faint petroleum-like odor. For transportation it may be stenched. It
is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. It
is easily ignited. Its vapors are heavier than air and a flame can flash back to the source of leak very easily.
The leak can either be a liquid or vapor leak. It can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Under prolonged

exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. It is used in the production of
isooctane, a high octane aviation gasoline. Chemical health hazards include Inhalation of moderate
concentrations causes dizziness, drowsiness, and unconsciousness. Contact with eyes or skin may cause
irritation; the liquid may cause frostbite. (USCG, 1999)
Benzene is a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Flash point less than 0°F. Less dense than
water and slightly soluble in water. Hence floats on water. Vapors are heavier than air. Chemical health
hazards include Dizziness, excitation, pallor, followed by flushing, weakness, headache, breathlessness,
chest constriction, nausea, and vomiting. Coma and possible death. (USCG, 1999)
Ethylene glycol is a clear, colorless syrupy liquid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment.
Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since it is a liquid it can easily
penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams. Chemical health hazards include
Inhalation of vapor is not hazardous. Ingestion causes stupor or coma, sometimes leading to fatal kidney
injury. (USCG, 1999)
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate is a clear colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. Less dense than water and insoluble
in water. Vapors heavier than air. Flash point 180°F. Used in making of paints and plastics. Chemical
health hazards include Inhalation of concentrated vapor causes drowsiness and convulsions. Liquid
causes irritation of eyes and may irritate skin on prolonged exposure. Ingestion produces same symptoms
as inhalation. (USCG, 1999)
Sulfuric acid is a colorless oily liquid. It is soluble in water with release of heat. It is corrosive to metals
and tissue. It will char wood and most other organic matter on contact, but is unlikely to cause a fire.
Density 15 lb / gal. Long term exposure to low concentrations or short term exposure to high
concentrations can result in adverse health effects from inhalation. It is used to make fertilizers and other
chemicals, in petroleum refining, in iron and steel production, and for many other uses.
Rate of onset: Immediate
Persistence: Hours, days
Odor threshold:
Source/use/other hazard: Battery/dyes/paper/glue/metals industries; volcanic gas; toxic fumes when
heated. Chemical health hazards include Corrosive to all body tissues. Inhalation of vapor may cause
serious lung damage. Contact with eyes may result in total loss of vision. Skin contact may produce severe
necrosis. Fatal amount for adult: between 1 teaspoonful and one-half ounce of the concentrated
chemical. Even a few drops may be fatal if the acid gains access to the trachea. Chronic exposure may

cause tracheobronchitis, stomatitis, conjunctivitis, and gastritis. Gastric perforation and peritonitis may
occur and may be followed by circulatory collapse. Circulatory shock is often the immediate cause of
death. Those with chronic respiratory, gastrointestinal, or nervous diseases and any eye and skin diseases
are at greater risk. (EPA, 1998)
See attached Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for more details on chemical hazards.
See the CTEH® Air Sampling and Analysis Plan for site-specific action levels.
5.2 Physical Hazards
5.2.1 Weather Information
Responders should always maintain situational awareness of changing weather conditions through their
CTEH® provided handheld device. Additionally, a safety briefing will occur prior to the beginning of each
shift and weather information should be presented at that time. The current weather for the incident site
can be accessed via the QR code below:
Link to current weather
5.2.2 Thermal Stress
Thermal stress (heat stress or cold stress) hazards and strategies for mitigating impact on worker safety
and health can be addressed based on information obtained in the OSHA-NIOSH Heat App. An addendum
to this document may be added if deemed necessary by the project manager and corporate safety officer.
5.2.3 Severe Weather Hazard
In the event that a severe weather event disrupts work activity, seek shelter immediately. Egress work
areas to the nearest enclosed shelter and stay away from windows if possible. Alert the CTEH® division
supervisor or project manager as soon as possible, and provide a situational update.

-------
If a lightning strike is observed within 10 miles of the work site, a mandatory 30-minute stand down will
be in effect. Seek shelter indoors or in a vehicle. The stand down will continue to restart until the last
lightning strike within 10 miles is observed. Stay indoors or in a vehicle until the entire 30-minute stand
down period expires.
5.2.4 Moving Vehicles
Be cautious of all motor vehicles on site as well as in the community. As a pedestrian, look 360° before
walking to identify any moving vehicles in your nearby vicinity. Personnel should wear reflective safety
gear as the outermost layer of clothing on site, day or night.
5.2.5 Distracted Driving and Driving Safety
CTEH® personnel must abide by CTEH®, client, state, and local regulations and guidelines regarding driving
while using cell phones. Under no circumstances are CTEH® personnel permitted to text or email while
driving. In most cases, CTEH® personnel should pull over safely, away from traffic, to conduct cell phone
or radio communications.
CTEH® personnel are not permitted to operate a motor vehicle without seatbelts being properly worn.
Once you have secured your seatbelt, please adjust your window and driver mirrors. Do not block
windows with contents such that your view is obstructed while driving.
5.2.6 Motor Vehicle Hazards
When operating a motor vehicle, look both ways before entering a roadway or crossing intersections.
Look for pedestrians on or near roadways. Do not email or text while operating a motor vehicle. Driving
at dusk and dawn or low light conditions decrease driver visibility, and be aware that animals are much
more active during these times. Driving on wet, snowy, gravel, or dirt roads warrant operation of the
vehicle at a conservative speed. Not all gravel road crossings are controlled crossings; some do not have
stop signs. In addition to lack of signage, high grasses may obstruct a driver's view at crossings
5.2.7 Heavy Equipment
Track hoes, bulldozers, dump trucks, vacuum trucks, commercial pickup trucks, and other heavy
machinery may be present at the site during remediation activities. Stay outside of the boom radius of
any lever-based heavy machinery.
5.2.8 Electrical
Underground power lines, generators, light plants, and plug-in power sources may create the potential
for electrical shock or electrocution. Assess all CTEH® power equipment and power cords for defects. If

any electrical equipment is defective, remove from service. For your own safety, maintain awareness of
other site personnel and equipment that may cause electrical issues.
5.2.9 Fire & Explosion
The nature of the site and existence of an ignition source, fire, variable pressures, and variable unknown
sources may create explosion hazards either indoors or outdoors. Containers may explode when heated.
CTEH® personnel will don flame resistant clothing (FRCs) when in the work area.
Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread
along ground and collect in low or confined areas (basin, sewers, basements, tanks). Runoff to sewer may
create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
The flammability hazards associated with vinyl chloride are as follows. Highly flammable. Burns readily.
Rapidly or completely vaporizes at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature. Special
Hazards of Combustion Products: Forms highly toxic combustion products such as hydrogen chloride,
phosgene, and carbon monoxide.
Behavior in Fire: Container may explode in fire. Gas is heavier than air and may travel considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back. (USCG, 1999).
The flammability hazards associated with liquefied petroleum gas are as follows. Excerpt from GUIDE 115
[Gases - Flammable (Including Refrigerated Liquids)]:
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Will form explosive mixtures
with air. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. CAUTION:
Hydrogen (UN1049), Deuterium (UN1957), Hydrogen, refrigerated liquid (UN1966) and Methane
(UN1971) are lighter than air and will rise. Hydrogen and Deuterium fires are difficult to detect since they
burn with an invisible flame. Use an alternate method of detection (thermal camera, broom handle, etc.)
Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release
flammable gas through pressure relief devices. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders
may rocket. (ERG, 2016).
The flammability hazards associated with isobutylene are as follows. Highly flammable. Burns readily.
Rapidly or completely vaporizes at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature. Behavior in
Fire: Containers may explode in fire. Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a long distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. (USCG, 1999).

The flammability hazards associated with benzene are as follows. Highly flammable. Can be ignited under
almost all ambient temperature conditions. Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel
considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. (USCG, 1999).
The flammability hazards associated with ethylene glycol are as follows. This chemical is combustible.
(NTP, 1992).
The flammability hazards associated with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate are as follows. Must be moderately
heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur. Behavior in Fire:
Heat can result in a severe polymerization with rapid release of energy. Sealed containers may rupture
explosively if hot. (USCG, 1999).
The flammability hazards associated with sulfuric acid are as follows. Will not burn under typical fire
conditions. It is highly reactive and capable of igniting finely-divided combustible materials on contact.
When heated, it emits highly toxic fumes. Avoid heat; water and organic materials. Sulfuric acid is
explosive or incompatible with an enormous array of substances. Can undergo violent chemical change at
elevated temperatures and pressure. May react violently with water. When heated, it emits highly toxic
fumes. Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998).
Refer to the attached CTEH® Air Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for information regarding site-specific
action levels for flammable atmospheres.
5.2.10 Hot Work
Response operations may include hot work (i.e. cutting or grinding). Due to the potential fire and
explosion hazards of VINYL CHLORIDE, LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS, ISOBUTYLENE, BENZENE, ETHYLENE
GLYCOL, 2-ETHYLHEXYL ACRYLATE, SULFURIC ACID constituents, WELDING OR USE OF TORCHES IS NOT
PERMITTED UNLESS A HOT WORK PERMIT OR OTHER WRITTEN PERMISSION IS OBTAINED FROM THE
SITE HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICER - NO EXCEPTIONS. CTEH® employees will not participate or assist in
the performance of hot work if this condition is not met. If hot work occurs and CTEH® is tasked with
providing air monitoring for the hot work permit, LEL monitoring (confirmed by VOC readings) will be
performed to determine whether combustible vapors are detected at or near the relevant Action Levels.
See the CTEH® hot work policy or speak with the Corporate Safety Officer for clarification.
5.2.11 Trip Hazards
Uneven or slick terrain provides an environment in which slips, trips, and falls should be considered. Be
aware of your travel path prior to walking or changing directions. Search for any obstructions that may
present as a trip hazard.

5.2.12 Noise
Emergency Response work sites are considered non-traditional and often difficult to characterize noise
exposures. Please keep hearing protection readily accessible. For work areas experiencing high noise
levels (greater than 90 dB) and/or impact noise (greater than 140 dB), please utilize hearing protection.
5.2.13 Eye Protection
The site may include dusty conditions or particulate hazards from other sources. If dusty conditions are
present, helmet-mounted goggles should replace safety glasses to further protect your eyes from
particulate-induced eye injury.
5.2.14 Dermal Contact Hazards
VINYL CHLORIDE, LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS, ISOBUTYLENE, BENZENE, ETHYLENE GLYCOL, 2-
ETHYLHEXYL ACRYLATE, SULFURIC ACID may cause contact dermatitis if exposed to skin for prolonged
periods. Avoid skin contact with constituents with use of appropriate chemical resistant gloves, boots,
and coveralls. If skin contact occurs, was with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
any contaminated clothing and discard. If redness or other irritation symptoms persist, seek medical
attention. Poison Oak and Poison Ivy may be present in areas encountered by field personnel. Use
caution to avoid contact with these plants, this includes equipment as well.
5.2.15 Water Hazards
Employees working in areas unprotected by passive fall protection systems (OSHA specified railings or
nets), where the danger of drowning exists, must wear U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket or buoyant
work vest, commonly referred to as personal flotation device (PFD). However, this regulation can be
superseded with the use of fall protection. If an employee cannot fall into the water as a result of use of
active or passive fall protection, there is no danger of drowning, and a PFD is not required. Safety lines
that prevent employees from reaching the water eliminate the danger of drowning, and negate the need
for a PFD. The same is true when working on a barge or floating platform with an approved railing system.
5.2.16 Biological Hazards
CTEH has adopted the following guidelines based on current CDC recommendations. All employees, both
vaccinated and unvaccinated, will wear a facial covering in accordance with the poster shown below:

CTEH® 0011
Welding, Cutting, & Hot Work
Introduction and Purpose:
Hot work is defined as work involving burning, welding, or other operations that are capable of
producing sparks and initiating fires or explosions. Similar operations include, without limitation,
cutting, brazing, grinding and soldering.
CTEH0 employees do not perform hot work, but may be called upon to work in settings where related
hazards exist such as the presence of potentially explosive atmospheres or other flammable
materials. CTEH0 also does not authorize the performance of hot work, or prepare, verify or execute
hot work permits. CTEH0 may, upon request, perform lower explosive limit ("LEL") air monitoring for
clients or their other contractors as part of the safety protocols established by the responsible parties
in connection with hot work. Only employees that have been trained as set forth below shall perform
this service.
This hot work policy applies to CTEH® projects in which hot work is being performed by other
employers. Because CTEH® employees may be exposed to related hazards and work in the immediate
vicinity of hot work, relevant information is provided for situational awareness regarding the
procedures and protocols being implemented by the responsible parties. The CTEH0 Project Manager
or staff should consult with the Director of Health & Safety Services or senior management regarding
any questions or uncertainties.
CTEH® SPECIFIC POLICIES:
1. Before air monitoring for hot work is started, a CTEH0 qualified person and other
contractors or personnel involved shall discuss the planned project completely, including
the type of hot work to be conducted, the hazards in the area, and the provisions of the
permit (if applicable). CTEH® personnel will advise the responsible party(ies) of the air
monitoring results and make clear that it has no other responsibility for compliance with
hot work regulations or other guidance.
2. If at any time lower explosive limit instrument readings are identified, CTEH® employees
will immediately advise the involved party(ies) and personnel performing the hot work to
discontinue those operations until the situation can be assessed by qualified personnel.
Health and Safety Plan
Norfolk Southern Train derailment East Palestine, OH
Effective Date:
CTEH
THE SCIENCE OF READY"
-------
3. CTEH® personnel will, when performing air monitoring for hot work or around potentially
flammable atmospheres, wear appropriate PPE including, without limitation, flame
resistant clothing.
4. CTEH® policy will be to not perform air monitoring in connection with hot work unless an
appropriate permit is prepared by the responsible party. However, as a limited exception,
air monitoring for hot work without a permit may be performed in an area designated,
designed, or approved for hot work that has been verified as such by the facility owner to
the CTEH0 Project Manager (see NFPA 51B §5.2.2). A sample permit is located in NFPA
51B.
5. CTEH® employees must consult with the CTEH0 Project Manager prior to the performance
of LEL monitoring in connection with hot work.
PERMIT REQUIRED? Yes. The party responsible for authorizing hot work must designate
appropriate precautions preferably in the form of a written permit following an inspection of the area.
See §1910.252(a)(2)(iv) and §1910.119(k).
DEFINED TERMS: Defined terms (bold faced in this policy) are set forth in §1910.251, Definitions.
NFPA 51B Ch. 3, Definitions; and API 2201 Ch. 3, Definitions.
TRAINING: CTEH® employees will be provided with training regarding potential ignition risks
associated with hot work and, separately, operations training regarding the lower explosive level of
hazardous materials and measurement thereof using appropriate equipment. CTEH® personnel that
may participate in air monitoring in support of Permit Required Hot Work will complete the following
annual training:
1. LEL monitoring
2. Permit Required Hot Work Safety
The CTEH® Project Manager will confirm that all employees performing LEL air monitoring for, or
otherwise working near, hot work have the required training.
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: The responsible party(ies) planning and performing hot work and
preparing appropriate permit(s), should consider among other matters the information set forth
below. It is provided in this policy for the situational awareness of CTEH® personnel and to inform their
discussions with such party(ies):

Regulatory requirements and materials incorporated by reference:
1. Basic Precautions from §1910.252(a):
a. If the object that is the subject of the hot work cannot be moved, all movable fire
hazards in the vicinity shall be taken to a safe place.
b. If all of the fire hazards cannot be removed, then guards shall be used to confine
the heat, sparks, and slag, and to protect the immovable fire hazards.
c. If the foregoing precautions cannot be met and any welding or cutting is unable to
be conducted safely, then hot work should not be performed.
d. Suitable fire extinguishing equipment shall be maintained in a state of readiness for
instant use and may consist of pails of water, buckets of sand, hoses or portable
fire extinguishers depending upon the nature and the quantity of combustible
material exposed.
2. Specific requirements of §1910.252 and, for elaboration, and delineation of the
responsibilities of welders and cutters, their supervisors, and those in management on
whose property the hot work is to be performed, NFPA Standard 51B.
Key Lessons from Hot Work Accidents (adapted from 2010 Chemical Safety Board):
1. Use alternatives: Whenever possible, avoid hot work and consider alternative methods.
2. Analyze the hazards: Prior to the initiation of hot work, perform a hazard assessment that
identifies the scope of the work, potential hazards, and methods of hazard control.
3. Monitor the atmosphere: Conduct effective gas monitoring in the work area using a
properly calibrated combustible gas detector prior to and during hot work activities, even
in areas where a flammable atmosphere is not anticipated.
4. Test the area: In work areas where flammable liquids and gases are stored or handled,
drain and/or purge all equipment and piping before hot work is conducted. When in the
vicinity of storage tanks and other containers, properly test and if necessary continuously
monitor all surrounding tanks or adjacent spaces (not just those being worked on) for the
presence of flammables and eliminate potential sources of flammables.
5. Use written permits: Ensure that qualified personnel familiar with the specific site hazards
review and authorize all hot work and issue permits specifically identifying the work to be

-------
conducted and the required precautions.
6. Train thoroughly. Train personnel on hot work policies/procedures, safety equipment, and
job specific hazards and controls in a language understood by the workforce. Workers
assigned to maintain the equipment and their supervisors should be suitably trained and
qualified in the safe operations of their equipment and the safe use of the process.
Supervise contractors: Safety supervision for outside contractors conducting hot work should be
provided by a competent person. Inform contractors about site-specific hazards including the presence
of flammable materials.
Additional Considerations:
1. First aid equipment must be available at all times.
2. Oxygen cylinders must be stored in an upright, secured position at least 20 feet from any
flammable gases or petroleum products.
3. In addition to other precautions, a fire watch should be established where advisable or
required when any of the following conditions exist:
a. Locations where other than a minor fire might develop.
b. Appreciable combustible material, in building construction or contents,
closer than 35 feet to the point of operation.
c. Appreciable combustibles are more than 35 feet away, but are easily
ignited by sparks.
d. Wall or floor openings within a 35-foot radius that expose combustible
material in adjacent areas including concealed spaces in walls or floors.
e. Combustible materials are adjacent to the opposite side of metal partitions,
walls, ceilings, or roofs and are likely to be ignited by conduction or
radiation.
4. Fire watch personnel should have fire extinguishing equipment readily available and be
trained in its use by a competent person. The fire watch will also be required to be able to:
a. Watch for fires in all exposed areas
b. Only attempt to extinguish fires that are obviously within the capacity of the
available equipment
c. Sound the alarm should they be unable to extinguish a fire or judge it unsafe to do
so
Health and Safety Plan
Norfolk Southern Train derailment East Palestine, OH

-------
d. Continue the fire watch for at least a half hour after completion of welding or
cutting operations.
5. Any hot work to be performed in confined spaces should conform to Permit-required
Confined Space procedures and the following requirements:
a. Adequate ventilation is a prerequisite to work in confined spaces.
b. When welding or cutting is being performed in any confined spaces, the gas
cylinders and welding machines will be kept outside of the space.
c. If entry is through a small opening, a method for quickly removing the
welder in case of emergency will be provided. Such lifelines will be attached
to the welder's body such that his or her body cannot be jammed in the exit
opening.
d. If any arc welding is to be suspended for a substantial period of time, such
as lunch or overnight:
1. All electrodes will be removed from the holders.
2. The holders will be moved such that accidental contact cannot
occur.
3. The machine will be disconnected from its power source.
e. When a gas welding or cutting torch is not going to be used for a substantial
amount of time, such as during lunch or overnight, the torch valves will be
closed and the fuel-gas and oxygen supply positively shut off at a point
outside of the confined area. The torch will be removed from the confined
area as well if practical.
f. Following the completion of welding operations, the welder will mark the
hot metal or provide some other form of warning sign to warn other
workers.
6. Welding, cutting, or burning of metals containing lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, beryllium,
or other exotic metals, paints, coatings, or preservatives will require appropriate
ventilation or respiratory protection.
7. If the possibility exists during hot work for the creation of hazardous fumes, gases, or dust
according to the metals involved, then local exhaust or general ventilating systems will be
arranged to keep the amount of toxic fumes, gases, or dusts below the maximum
allowable concentrations as specified in §1910.1000.

-------
8. The operator of any hot work equipment should report any equipment defects or safety
hazards to his supervisor and discontinue use of the equipment until its safety has been
assured and, if needed, repaired by a qualified person.
9. Any welding or brazing materials used in hot work which might possibly generate
hazardous fumes, gases, or dusts due to the metals involved should be suitably labeled to
indicate the hazard, and appropriate measures for ventilation or respiratory protection
provided to ensure that no employee is exposed to higher than permissible levels of
hazardous fumes.

2.1.1 Symptoms
Symptoms of hypothermia can vary depending on how long you have been exposed to the cold temperatures.
Symptoms include:
Shivering
• Blue skin
Fatigue
• Dilated pupils
Loss of coordination
• Slowed pulse and breathing
Confusion and disorientation
• Loss of consciousness
• No shivering
2.1.2 First Aid
Take the following steps to treat a worker with hypothermia:
• Alert the supervisor and request medical assistance.
• Move the victim into a warm room or shelter.
• Remove their wet clothing.
• Warm the center of their body first-chest, neck, head, and groin-using an electric blanket, if available;
or use skin-to-skin contact under loose, dry layers of blankets, clothing, towels, or sheets.
• Warm beverages may help increase the body temperature, but do not give alcoholic beverages. Do not
try to give beverages to an unconscious person.
• After their body temperature has increased, keep the victim dry and wrapped in a warm blanket,
including the head and neck.
• If victim has no pulse, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
2.2 Cold Water Immersion
Cold water immersion creates a specific condition known as immersion hypothermia. It develops much more
quickly than standard hypothermia because water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air.
Typically people in temperate climates don't consider themselves at risk from hypothermia in the water, but
hypothermia can occur in any water temperature below 70°F. Survival times can be lengthened by wearing
proper clothing (wool and synthetics and not cotton), using a personal flotation device (PFD, life vest, immersion
suit, dry suit), and having a means of both signaling rescuers (strobe lights, personal locator beacon, whistles,
flares, waterproof radio) and having a means of being retrieved from the water.

2.3 Frostbite
Frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and color in the
affected areas. It most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Frostbite can permanently
damage body tissues, and severe cases can lead to amputation. In extremely cold temperatures, the risk of
frostbite is increased in workers with reduced blood circulation and among workers who are not dressed
properly.
2.3.1 Symptoms
Symptoms of frostbite include:
• Reduced blood flow to hands and feet (fingers or toes can freeze)
• Numbness
• Tingling or stinging
• Aching
• Bluish or pail, waxy skin
2.3.2 First Aid
Workers suffering from frostbite should:
• Get into a warm room as soon as possible.
• Unless absolutely necessary, do not walk on frostbitten feet or toes-this increases the damage.
• Immerse the affected area in warm-not hot-water (the temperature should be comfortable to the touch
for unaffected parts of the body).
• Warm the affected area using body heat; for example, the heat of an armpit can be used to warm
frostbitten fingers.
• Do not rub or massage the frostbitten area; doing so may cause more damage.
• Do not use a heating pad, heat lamp, or the heat of a stove, fireplace, or radiator for warming. Affected
areas are numb and can be easily burned.
2.4 Trench Foot
Trench foot, also known as immersion foot, is an injury of the feet resulting from prolonged exposure to wet and
cold conditions. Trench foot can occur at temperatures as high as 60 degrees F if the feet are constantly wet.
Injury occurs because wet feet lose heat 25-times faster than dry feet. Therefore, to prevent heat loss, the body
Cold Stress Management Plan

CTEH
THE SCIENCE OF REAOY"
-------
constricts blood vessels to shut down circulation in the feet. Skin tissue begins to die because of lack of oxygen
and nutrients and due to the buildup of toxic products.
2.4.1 Symptoms
Symptoms of trench foot include
• Reddening of the skin
• Numbness
• Leg cramps
• Swelling
• Tingling pain
2.4.2 First Aid
Workers suffering from trench foot should:
• Remove shoes/boots and wet socks.
• Dry their feet.
• Avoid walking on feet, as this may cause tissue damage.
2.5 Chilblains
Chilblains are caused by the repeated exposure of skin to temperatures just above freezing to as high as 60
degrees F. The cold exposure causes damage to the capillary beds (groups of small blood vessels) in the skin.
This damage is permanent and the redness and itching will return with additional exposure. The redness and
itching typically occurs on cheeks, ears, fingers, and toes.
2.5.1 Symptoms
Symptoms of chilblains include:
• Redness
• Itching
• Possible blistering
• Inflammation
• Possible ulceration in severe cases
• Blisters or ulcers
• Bleeding under the skin
• Gangrene (the foot may turn dark purple,
blue, or gray)

3.0 Controls for Protection Against Cold Stress & Hypothermia
This section outlines reasonable control measures designed to prevent cold stress and hypothermia. This section
only includes recommendations; therefore, field judgment may be required for circumstances that do not clearly
meet the constraints provided herein. The control measures stated below have been derived from the ACGIH
TLV Manual.
• For exposed skin, continuous exposure should not be permitted when the wind speed and the ambient
temperature produce a resultant equivalent wind chill temperature of -32 degrees C.
• For workers who have become wet or immersed in water at temperatures of 2 degrees C or less,
treatment for hypothermia must be administered. This includes a complete exchange of wet clothes for
dry clothes. Workers should be kept in a warm, dry area during their hypothermia treatment.
3.1 Prevention of Cold Stress to Bare Hands
• For fine work in temperatures below 16 degrees C, auxiliary heating units such as warming fans, radiant
heaters or contact warm plates should be used.
• For work in temperatures below 16 degrees C for sedentary, 4 degrees C for light, and -7 degrees C for
moderate work, gloves must be worn.
3.2 Prevention of Frostbite
• When work is being performed on surfaces that are below -7 degrees C, contact with bare skin should
be prevented. Gloves are required.
• If the air temperature is -17.5 degrees C or below, hands should be protected with mittens (gloves are
not sufficient).

THE SCIENCE OF REAOY"
-------
3.3 Prevention of Total Body Cold Stress
• Based on the forecasted temperatures and the likely presence of above average wind speeds, workers
should use wind-blocking garments, such as Gore-Tex®. Wind blocks may be provided as well.
• In the presence of high humidity, snow, rain, ocean-spray, or mist, workers should be equipped with a
waterproof outer layer. Workers should not be permitted to work in wet environments with non-
waterproof outer garments.
• Workers should not work at a work rate, nor wear such insulation that causes sweating. Garments
should be equipped with ventilation such that a vigorous work rate does not cause sweat to dampen
the layers of clothing closest to their body.
• Workers handling evaporative liquids (such as gasoline, alcohol, or solvent-based cleaning fluids) should
take special precautions not to soak their gloves or clothing. If soaking occurs, the impacted gloves or
garments must be replaced immediately.
4.0 Work-Warming Regimen
This section includes recommendations for providing a warm-up schedule for workers exposed to cold
environments. In each work area, shelter should be provided in a manner that provides easy access and is
reasonably close to the area(s) where work is to be performed. Controlled indoor environments are preferred;
however, if a controlled indoor environment is not available, special heating shelters should be provided. The
following items should be considered:
• A buddy system should be used so that workers can monitor each other's signs and symptoms of
imposing cold stress.
• The work rate should not be so high that workers begin to sweat. If heavy work must be done, rest
periods should be considered to avoid excessive sweating and provide workers opportunities to change
from dampened clothes to dry clothes.
The ACGIH TLV manual provides a work-warming schedule designed to reduce worker exposure to conditions
conducive to cold stress or hypothermia. Special considerations should be given to establishing a work-warming
schedule the meets or exceeds the conditions included in Table 2 below.

1. Schedule applies to any 4-hour work period with moderate to heavy work activity, with warm-up periods of 10 minutes in a warm location and
with an extended break (e.g., lunch) at the end of the 4-hour work period in a warm location. For light-to-moderate work (limited physical
movement), apply the schedule one step lower in the table. For example, at -35° C (-30° F) with no noticeable wind (Step 4), a worker in a job with
little physical movement should have a maximum work period of 40 minutes with 4 breaks in a 4-hour period (Step 5).
2. The following is suggested as a guide for estimating wind velocity if accurate information is not available: 8 km/h - light flag moves; 16 km/h - light
flag fully extended; 25 km/h - raises newspaper sheet; 30 km/h - blowing and drifting snow.
3. If only the wind chill cooling rate is available, a rough rule of thumb for applying it rather than the temperature and wind velocity factor given
above would be: (1) special warmup breaks should be initiated at a wind chill cooling rate of about 1750 W/m2; (2) all non-emergency work should
have ceased at or before a wind chill of 2250 W/m2. In general, the warm-up schedule provided above slightly under-compensates for the wind at
the warmer temperatures, assuming acclimatization and clothing appropriate for winter work. On the other hand, the chart over-compensates for
the actual temperatures in the colder ranges because windy conditions rarely prevail at extremely low temperatures.
4. TLVs apply only to workers in dry clothing.
5. Refer to the "Cold Stress" section of the current Threshold Limit Values and Biological Exposure Indices publication for further information

requires a "cool down" period before
refueling. Ensure these instructions are
understood for all equipment being used,
prior to refueling.
1. Do not re-enter vehicle or climb on
equipment after pumping has begun - This
can create static electricity buildup that has
been proven to cause fires and explosions.
2. Do not leave a fueling piece of equipment
unattended for any reason.
3. Do not "top-off" tanks - This can lead to
overflow and excessive vapor release.
4. Ensure the proper fuel type is chosen, i.e.
Gas or diesel.
1. Ensure that the container is an approved
container, meeting OSHA or DOT
requirements. Note: plastic gas cans or
containers are not allowed for storing any
fuels unless the container specifically states
that it meets OSHA or DOT requirements.
2. Do not fill containers while in the back of
truck beds with plastic liners or inside
vehicles or trunks with carpeted floors.
3. After placing the container on the
ground, release vapor pressure slowly. Do
this prior to removing nozzle from pump.
Page 2
-------
WHILE IN "FIELD" LOCATIONS - Refueling
Equipment/Filling
Containers.
Static electricity combined with sudden vapor
release may ignite
vapors, resulting in fire and/or explosion,
which may cause
injury, property damage and/or death.
4. One all vapor has been released from the
container, remove nozzle from pump and
insert nozzle into container for fueling.
5. Fill the container slowly to avoid
excessive vapor and static electricity buildup.
6. Do not overfill - Fill fuel containers to
approximately 95% capacity to allow for
vapor expansion.
7. Place cap on tightly.
8. Any gasoline that spills on the container
must be allowed to evaporate or be cleaned
off prior to placing the container inside the
vehicle, in the bed of the vehicle or on the
trailer.
9. Secure containers against tipping and
sliding and out of direct sunlight exposure or
excessive heat from the trunk of a car.
Ensure the proper fuel type is chosen, i.e.
Gas or diesel.
1. Only use approved Safety Cans, meeting
OSHA or DOT requirements for refueling
equipment. Ensure that gas cans have not
been left in direct sunlight.
2. Ensure that equipment has had plenty of
time to cool down before refueling. Some
equipment requires a "cool down" period
before refueling. Ensure these instructions
are understood for all equipment being used,
prior to refueling. A Minimum of lOminutes is
recommended unless otherwise specified by
the manufacturer.
3. Slowly release spring loaded handle to
release gasoline vapors. Complete this step
away from equipment and other potential
ignition sources.
4. Where necessary, insert funnel into tank
to avoid spilling fuel on equipment.
5. Once positioned, again release spring-
loaded handle to allow vapors to escape prior

to touching any metal surface on the
equipment that is being refueled.
6. Fill the equipment slowly to avoid
excessive vapor and static electricity buildup.
This will also decrease splattering and
spilling.
7. Do not overfill - Fill fuel containers to
approximately 95% capacity to allow for
vapor expansion.
8. Place cap on tightly.
9. Any gasoline that spills on the equipment
must be allowed to evaporate or be cleaned
off prior to engine start-up.
10. Where possible, store fuel container in a
location away from excessive heat and/or
direct sunlight.
1. Move away from the hazard immediately.
Warn others as you swiftly and safely seek a
safer location.
2. If possible, press the emergency cut-off
switch and then call 911. In field locations,
call 911immediately.
3. At the pumps - Use portable extinguishers
only after the cutoff switch has been
activated and only if the fire is away from the
vehicle. Do not approach a burning vehicle
or equipment! In field locations - Use
portable extinguishers only when the fire
does not appear to be coming from the tank
itself, such as may be the case, where fuel
may have leaked onto the engine and ignited.
Do not approach an engulfed piece of
equipment!
4. Remember the "STOP, DROP and ROLL"
technique should you or someone else catch
on fire. Immediately try to find a water
source and/or another non-flammable and
non-hazardous liquid that could also be used
to help extinguish the fire.
