1.0 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

The purpose of this Construction Health and Safety Plan (CHASP) is to assign responsibilities,
establish project personnel and community protection standards and procedures, and to plan for
contingencies that may arise during construction. This CHASP is intended to minimize health
and safety risks associated with the known and potential hazards at the site to project workers
and the surrounding community. The requirements of this CHASP are to be followed for all
bridge construction activities except for work performed on the Laurel Hill Inactive Hazardous
Waste Site, also known as the Phelps Dodge Site in Queens. All work performed on property
owned by Phelps Dodge Refining Corporation (PDRC) shall be performed in accordance with
the PDRC HASP that was prepared concurrent with the Remedial Design for the Site Specific
Cap - Parcels 1A, 1C and 2, dated October 2011.

All work outlined in the CHASP is subject to the associated Contaminant Management Plan
(CMP) prepared for the project. This CHASP is not intended to address potential mechanical or
structural safety concerns, such as shoring and bracing of excavations, and does not replace or
supersede any OSHA regulation and/or local and state construction codes or regulations.

The work subject to this CHASP are activities that disturb soil, groundwater, aboveground and
underground tanks, drums, and other containers of hazardous materials that are encountered
during the course of construction. The Contractor and their subcontractors involved in
construction of the project shall provide a copy of this CHASP to all employees whose work
involves any potential exposure to on-site hazards, and shall complete all work in accordance
with this CHASP. Certain specialty tasks performed by subcontractors such as asbestos
abatement and decommissioning of petroleum storage tanks will require these subcontractors to
prepare their own HASPs and Workplans for their specific work. These task-specific HASPs
will be reviewed by NYSDOT’s Engineer-in-Charge before the work is authorized.

This CHASP and the associated CMP are based on the Preliminary (40%) Design Plans that have
been prepared for the project. The Preliminary Design Plans that show the locations and
dimensions of the major areas of excavation for the project as presently designed are provided as
Attachment A. It is possible that the Design/Build Contractor could alter the current design.
The Design/Build Contractor is responsible for updating this CHASP as warranted based on any
design changes. It is expected however that the overall Health and Safety procedures established
in this CHASP would still apply to a revised design.

2.0 PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION

2.1 General Project Description

The project site occupies a 1.1-mile section of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway (BQE) from
Morgan Avenue in Brooklyn heading northeast to the BQE / Long Island Expressway (LIE)
Interchange in Queens, and includes the Kosciuszko Bridge over Newtown Creek (Figure 1:

1 EPM, Inc.
Project Location). The project is situated in a mixed-use commercial and residential area, which
historically contained low-rise residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Since the late
1800s, much of the study area has been composed of commercial and industrial operations, with
sparse residential development. Existing land use within and adjacent to the project site includes
residential buildings, gasoline filling stations, automotive repair operations, restaurants, non-
hazardous waste transfer stations, warehouses, commercial structures, and manufacturing.
Historical land use in the study area included residential housing, chemical manufacturing
operations, refineries, metal works, fat rendering, gasoline filling stations, and automotive repair
shops.

The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the project was completed in December
2008 and resulted in a Record of Decision (ROD) that adopted Bridge Replacement Alternative
BR-5: Bridge Replacement with Permanent Bridge on Eastbound Side. The proposed project
will replace the existing bridge by constructing a new eastbound bridge that will be parallel to
and on the eastbound side of the existing bridge and then building a new westbound bridge
within the footprint of the existing structure. Construction will require excavation for placement
of support structures, foundations, and utility relocation; with such excavations having a
potential to encounter contaminated soil. Some excavations could require dewatering; especially
those that are located close to Newtown Creek. Groundwater beneath areas of the project site is
known to be impacted with petroleum, chlorinated solvents, and metals. Deep operations, such
as for installation of new support piles, have the potential to encounter a free-phase oil spill that
floats on the groundwater surface in Brooklyn. If dredging of Newtown Creek sediment
becomes necessary, the sediment is impacted at levels that would require special handling and
disposal.

2.2 Hazard Potential

This CHASP is based on information contained in the Contaminated Material Investigation

Findings Report, Kosciuszko Bridge Reconstruction Project, May 31, 2012, EPM, Inc. The
following is a summary of the findings pertinent to this CHASP. Additional details are available
in the associated CMP and the above referenced report.

2.2.1 Soil Conditions

Shallow soils in Brooklyn and Queens contained evidence of historic fill including asphalt, coal,
concrete, brick, glass, and combusted material. Several borings in Brooklyn contained soil with
evidence of petroleum or chemical impacts such as odor or staining. Soil samples collected from
the project site for laboratory testing contained elevated levels of Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs), Semi Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs), Metals, and to a lesser extent PCBs at
isolated locations. Evidence of petroleum or chemical impacted soil such as significant staining
or odors was observed at depths near the soil-groundwater interface at most sampling locations
in Brooklyn, but no such evidence was observed in Queens.

2 EPM, Inc.
Hazardous waste testing across the site did not identify widespread regulated hazardous waste
conditions in soils. Isolated areas of hazardous lead-impacted soil were identified on parcel
2814-18 in Brooklyn near the intersection of Cherry Street and Gardner Avenue, and within the
NYPD impound lot beneath the BQE in Queens. Additional sampling would be required in these
areas to better define the extent of the hazardous soil.

The Phelps Dodge Site

Phelps Dodge is a NYSDEC Class 2 Inactive Hazardous Waste Site overlapping a portion of the
project site in Queens along the east side of the BQE from Newtown Creek northward to 55th
Avenue. Former copper refining operations at this site led to the contamination of soil,
groundwater, and Newtown Creek sediments with heavy metals, PCBs, and petroleum. Soil
samples collected from portions of the Phelps Dodge site that are located with the project limits
contained elevated levels of the metals lead, copper, and arsenic, SVOCs/PAHs, and PCBs.
Previously, hot-spots of PCB contaminated soil were removed from various locations throughout
the Phelps Dodge site. NYSDEC did not require removal and offsite disposal of additional soils
from these areas, but does require these areas be capped with pavement to eliminate future public
exposure to residual soil contamination and to prevent further infiltration of contaminants to
groundwater. To date, only a portion of these areas has been capped, with the remaining areas
covered with exposed soils and vegetation. Soils in these areas (whether capped or not) will
likely contain metals, PAHs, and/or PCBs at levels that would require special handling and
disposal if disturbed by construction. All ground intrusive work within the boundaries of the
Phelps Dodge Inactive Hazardous Waste Site will need to be conducted in accordance with the
NYSDEC-approved Site Management Plan, which is discussed further in the associated CMP.

2.2.2 Groundwater Conditions

Groundwater beneath the project site in Brooklyn generally contains a wider range of types of
contaminants and at greater concentrations than does groundwater in Queens. Groundwater was
encountered in Brooklyn from approximately 11 feet below ground surface (bgs) near Newtown
Creek to approximately 60 feet bgs in the vicinity of Porter Avenue at Cherry Street.
Groundwater was encountered in Queens at approximately 48 feet bgs at the eastern project
limits near the LIE Interchange to approximately 8 feet bgs near Newtown Creek. Several wells
exhibited a petroleum odor and/or slight sheen. Groundwater at the site contains elevated levels
of metals, petroleum related compounds, and chlorinated solvents. The VOCs most commonly
found at elevated concentrations in groundwater at the project site include: tetrachloroethene
(PCE); trichloroethene (TCE); chloroform; methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE); 1,1,1-
trichloroethene, and cis-1,2-Dichloroethene. The metals mostly detected at elevated levels in site
groundwater included arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and selenium. The
SVOCs naphthalene and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate were also detected in groundwater samples
at isolated locations.

Greenpoint Oil Spill

A layer of free-phase oil exists on the groundwater surface beneath a portion of the project site in
Brooklyn. ExxonMobil currently operates a product recovery system consisting of recovery

3 EPM, Inc.
wells, product collection and recycling, soil vapor recovery, and treatment of contaminated
groundwater prior to discharge to Newtown Creek. The southern edge of the free-product plume
is located beneath the BQE between Vandervoort Avenue to just east of Varick Avenue,
extending approximately 150 feet south from the center line of Cherry Street. Product thickness
within the project limits ranges from less than one inch along the leading edge of the plume to a
maximum of approximately 2.5 feet in the area of Cherry Street at Porter Avenue. The oil layer
is approximately 30 feet below grade near Varick Avenue, and 50 feet below grade in the
vicinity of Vandervoort Avenue and Porter Avenue.

Deep operations that approach the water table in the vicinity of Vandervoort Avenue to Varick
Avenue in Brooklyn will likely encounter the Greenpoint Oil Spill. Currently, the placement of
support piles for the new bridge approach segment in Brooklyn is proposed in this area to depths
that would penetrate the oil layer. If drilled shaft piles are used, the Contractor will be
responsible for managing any contaminated materials that are brought to the surface. Regardless
of the type of piles that are selected, the depths of the piles may not extend more than 10 feet
above the Raritan Clay confining layer in order to avoid cross contamination of the deeper
aquifer.

Meeker Avenue Solvent Plume

NYSDEC is currently investigating the presence of chlorinated solvents in soil, groundwater, and
soil vapor in the vicinity of the project site in Brooklyn. Investigations to date have identified
areas of groundwater, soil, and soil vapor within the Kosciuszko Bridge Project limits to be
impacted with VOCs, including the chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and
trichloroethene (TCE). These compounds were detected at significant levels in groundwater
beneath the project site from approximately Varick Avenue to just west of Gardner Avenue.

Phelps Dodge
Petroleum or solvent contamination was not identified in groundwater at Phelps Dodge.
However, the groundwater is impacted with metals primarily adhered to soil particles migrating
with groundwater flow.

2.2.3 Soil Vapor Conditions

Soil vapor beneath the project limits in Brooklyn contains levels of VOCs and methane that
warrant special consideration during construction to protect project workers and the community
from exposure to potentially harmful vapors. Worker and community exposure air monitoring
will be required during all ground intrusive work as described in Section 6.0 of this document.

The soil vapor sampling locations and results summary are provided as Attachment B. VOCs
were detected at elevated levels in soil gas samples collected in Brooklyn, with the most
prevalent being benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), 1,1-dichloroethane,
cis,1,2- dichloroethene, heptane, hexane, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), 1,1,1-trichloroethane,
1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, tetrachloroethylene
(PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), trichlorofluoromethane, and vinyl chloride. Benzene soil gas

4 EPM, Inc.
concentrations in the samples ranged from 16 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) in sample
SG-4(8 ft.) to 213 μg/m3 in sample SG-1(5 ft.). Ethylbenzene was detected at 6.1 μg/m3 in
sample SG-4(8 ft.) to 351 μg/m3 in sample SG-1(5 ft.). Toluene was detected at 22 μg/m3 in
SG-4(8 ft.) to 1,350 μg/m3 in SG-1(5 ft.). Total xylenes were detected 38 μg/m3 in SG-4(8 ft.)
to 660 in SG-1(5 ft.). TCE concentrations in soil gas ranged from 16 μg/m3 in sample SG-4(8
ft.) to a maximum of 3,440 μg/m3 at location SG-3(20 ft.). PCE concentrations in soil gas
ranged from 22 μg/m3 in sample SG-1(5 ft.) to a maximum of 12,600 μg/m3 at location SG-5(8
ft.).

Methane was present in all nine soil gas samples. Sample SG-1(5 ft.) contained a methane
concentration of 284,000 ppmv, which is above the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane of
50,000 ppmv. Methane was not detected above the LEL in any of the other soil vapor samples
collected. Sample SG-3(20 ft.) had a methane concentration of 9,390 ppmv and sample SG-2(20
ft.) contained methane at 498 ppmv. Although samples SG-2 and SG-3 did not contain methane
above the LEL, these two samples are located in the same general area of the project site in
Brooklyn between roughly Varick Avenue and Newtown Creek, suggesting a potential to
encounter methane gas in this general area during excavations.

Soil gas testing performed on the Phelps Dodge site during remedial investigations did not
identify potentially harmful levels of VOCs or methane. However, the air monitoring and
response procedures discussed in Section 6.0 shall also be instituted during all invasive work in
Queens.

2.2.4 Newtown Creek Sediment

Newtown Creek sediments consisted of black fine sand and silt from 0 to 8 feet, with a definitive
stratification to light tan sand at approximately 8 feet to the core completion depth of 10 feet.
Significant petroleum odors and staining were observed in all five cores to approximately 8 feet
deep. The 8 to 10-foot depth interval did not show similar signs of gross petroleum impacts.
Each of the sediment samples from the 0 to 8-foot depth contained elevated levels of the
following: VOCs; SVOCs; PCBs; Pesticides, and Metals. The sediment samples were also
tested for the hazardous waste characteristics of TCLP VOCs, TCLP SVOCs, TCLP
pesticides/herbicides, TCLP metals and physical characteristics. No sediment samples exceeded
these hazardous waste thresholds.

2.2.5 Building Demolition

NYSDOT acquired private property in Queens and Brooklyn to allow for construction of the new
bridge and approaches. EPM performed hazardous material investigations on these properties
which included an inventory of hazardous materials including tanks and drums, as well as the
collection of soil and groundwater samples from the properties. The results of the soil and
groundwater sampling are included in the discussion in Section 2.2. The results of the hazardous
material inventory are provided in EPM’s May 2012 Investigation Findings Report and are
summarized in the CMP for this project.

5 EPM, Inc.
The majority of properties acquired by NYSDOT for this project are developed with structures
that will need to be demolished during the early stages of construction. EPM is currently in the
process of completing detailed asbestos surveys for the buildings to be demolished. All
identified ACM will be properly abated from the buildings prior to their demolition. Findings to
date indicate that asbestos containing materials are present to varying degrees in all of the
buildings. EPM’s Asbestos Survey Report will be finalized upon completion of the field
surveys, and will include identification and quantification of asbestos containing materials, and
identification of acceptable procedures for abatement of the material. It is expected that the
Design/Build Contractor will develop detailed building demolition plans that will include
specific procedures for abatement of the asbestos materials and any other hazardous materials
contained in the buildings such as tanks, drums, and universal wastes. EPM’s final asbestos
survey report will identify the standard NYSDOT design item numbers for abating the types of
asbestos containing materials that are identified. General protocols to be followed during
removal of any underground or aboveground storage tanks encountered during the project are
discussed in the associated CMP.

2.3 Hazard Evaluation

The most likely routes of exposure during soil disturbance and dewatering would be breathing of
airborne particulates or dermal contact and/or accidental ingestion of contaminated soil or
groundwater.

2.3.1 Chemical Hazards

This CHASP focuses on the following chemicals of concern:

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs);

• Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs);
• PCBs;
• Heavy Metals; and,
• Petroleum and Solvent Products.

Attachment C includes the exposure limits, physical and chemical properties, recommended
protection levels and symptoms of exposure to the chemical compounds of concern as well as
unidentified site chemicals that could be encountered.

The chemical hazards will be minimized by limiting exposure of personnel to hazardous

conditions through air monitoring, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and
application of mitigation controls if warranted. Dust suppression controls, such as water misting,
will be used as necessary to limit exposure to airborne particulates. Mechanical venting
equipment will be required to be on hand to vent excavations as warranted based on the real time

6 EPM, Inc.
air monitoring results. Further discussion regarding air monitoring, PPE, and mitigation controls
is provided in Section 6.0.

2.3.2 Physical Hazards

Physical hazards present at the site addressed by this CHASP include the following:

• Slip, trip and fall hazards;

• Environmental (heat/cold) stress;
• Noise Hazards;
• Use of heavy equipment; and,
• Moving vehicles.

The site will be kept neat and free of clutter to protect against trips and falls. Site personnel will
be briefed at each safety meeting on the hazards of and safety protocols for heat and cold stress
that are contained in Attachment D. The perimeter of the work zone shall be secured with
construction barriers such that pedestrians and public traffic will have safe access around the
zone, and so project workers will be protected from the moving vehicles. Hearing protection will
be used at all times around loud equipment.

2.3.3 Biological Hazards

Based on the urban nature of the project site, the potential for exposure to significant biological
hazardous is considered low. Basic protective Level D clothing, including work boots and long
pants, and insect repellant as warranted, will be used to protect against biological hazards. The
following NIOSH recommended procedures will be followed to prevent exposure to Tick bites if
warranted:

• Wear a hat and light-colored clothing, including long-sleeved shirts and long pants
tucked into boots or socks.
• Use insect repellents containing 20%-30% DEET on your exposed skin and clothing to
prevent tick bites. Reapply repellent as needed.
• Periodically check skin and clothes for ticks, and at the end of each shift. The immature
forms of these ticks are very small and may be hard to see.
o Check hair, underarms, and groin for ticks.
o Immediately remove ticks from your body using fine-tipped tweezers.
o Grasp the tick firmly and as close to your skin as possible.
o Pull the tick's body away from your skin with a steady motion.
o Clean the area with soap and water.
• Wash and dry work clothes in a hot dryer to kill any ticks present.
• Learn the symptoms of tick-borne diseases (stated below).
• If you develop symptoms of a tick-borne disease seek medical attention promptly. Be
sure to inform health care provider that you work outdoors in an area where ticks may be
present.

7 EPM, Inc.
Lyme disease may cause one or more of the following symptoms:

• An expanding circular rash called erythema migrans (may look like a red bulls-eye at the
site of the tick bite);
• Fever;
• Joint and muscle pains;
• Headache;
• Chills;
• Fatigue; and,
• Swollen lymph nodes.

To Avoid West Nile Virus / St. Louis Encephalitis:

According to the CDC Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, the symptoms of West Nile
Virus include fever, headache, body aches, occasional skin rash and swollen lymph nodes, with
most infections usually being mild. More severe infections may be indicated by headache, high
fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, paralysis, and
in rare occasions, death. Most infections of St. Louis encephalitis are mild without apparent
symptoms other than fever and headache. More severe infection is marked by headache, high
fever, stiff neck, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, occasional convulsions, and spastic but
rarely flaccid paralysis. The only way to avoid infection of West Nile Virus and St. Louis
encephalitis is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Mosquito contact can be reduced by:

• staying indoors at dawn, dusk, and in the early evening;

• Wear long-sleeve shirts and long pants when outdoors;
• Spray clothing with repellents containing permethrin or DEET;
• Apply insect repellant sparingly to exposed skin. Caution that repellants may
irritate the eyes and mouth. Be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions and
cautions for use on the product label.

3.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICER

The Design/Build Contractor will be required to designate a Site Safety Officer (SSO). The SSO
will be a competent person responsible for implementing this CHASP. The SSO will have
completed a 40-hour training course and have updated annual refreshers that meet the OSHA
requirements of 29 CFR Part 1910 – Occupational Safety and Health Standards. The SSO will
have stop-work authorization, which he/she will execute on his/her determination of an imminent
safety hazard, emergency situation, or other potentially dangerous situation. If the SSO is absent
from the site for any reason, he/she will designate a suitable qualified replacement that is familiar
with the requirements of the CHASP and CMP.

The SSO or their designees are responsible for the following:

8 EPM, Inc.
 1. Monitoring to determine the degree of hazard.
2. Establish site work zones.
3. Ensure that all personnel in the work zone are wearing proper hearing protection.
4. Determining the protection levels and equipment required to ensure the safety of
personnel.
5. Evaluating on-site conditions (i.e., weather and chemical hazard information) and
recommending to the project manager and/or the field coordinator, modifications
to the work plan and personal protection level.
6. Monitoring performance of all personnel to ensure compliance with the required
safety procedures.
7. Notifying emergency authorities (police, fire and ambulance) of the team’s
presence, assignments and emergency procedures (as required).
8. Ensuring that all personnel have been trained in proper site safety procedures and
the use of PPE, and have read and signed the Acknowledgement Forms provided
in Attachment E.
9. Conducting daily briefings as necessary.
10. Halting work if necessary.
11. Ensuring strict adherence to the CHASP.
12. Reviewing personnel medical monitoring participation and health and safety
training.

4.0 TRAINING

All workers performing work on the Phelps Dodge Inactive Hazardous Waste Site during ground
intrusive activities must have completed the 40-Hour HAZWOPER Course with current 8-hour
refresher and participate in medical monitoring in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120. All those
who enter the work area while intrusive activities are being performed must identify and
understand the potential hazards to health and safety. Prior to entering the site, all construction
personnel must attend a safety meeting, with the purpose of the meeting being to:

• Make workers aware of the potential hazards they may encounter;

• Instruct workers on how to identify potential hazards;
• Provide the knowledge and skills necessary for them to perform the work with minimal
risk to health and safety;
• Make workers aware of the use and limitations of safety equipment; and,
• Describe procedures for avoiding or escaping emergencies.

Each member of the construction crew will be instructed in these objectives before entering the
site, and will be instructed to sign the acknowledgment forms provided in Attachment E.
Construction personnel will be responsible for identifying potential hazards in the work zone.
The SSO or designee will be responsible for conducting the training program. Visitors entering
the site must be accompanied by a properly trained project worker.

9 EPM, Inc.
5.0 GENERAL WORK PRACTICES

The following general safety rules will be followed to increase the level of safety at the site:

1. Work boots, hard hats, and reflective orange vests must be worn at all times.

2. Remove slipping, tripping or falling hazards from paths or roadways.

3. During work executions, pause every few minutes and assess surrounding traffic
conditions. The SSO will serve as a “spotter,” to the maximum extent possible,
keeping a lookout throughout field activities.

4. Hearing protection will be used during operation of loud machinery.

5. Crossing highways and major roadways is not recommended. Expect movement of

cars, trucks, and buses at any time, along any roadway regardless of traffic signals,
stop signs, yield signs, etc.

6. When walking on right-of-ways or road-shoulders, keep a sharp lookout in both

directions. I will need to find a reason to be motivated or I am going to waste away
into nothing, more nothing than I already am actually, if that is possible ,and it is.

7. Be sure that the appropriate roadway safety equipment is on site including road flares,
reflective traffic cones, flags, etc.

8. Be cognizant of your surroundings and ensure that equipment is properly secured.

9. Do not remain bent over or sitting along busy roadways – remain visible at all times.

10. All personnel who participate in field activities will be required to attend a Health and
Safety meeting prior to the commencement of field activities.

11. Eating, drinking and smoking in the work area are prohibited.

12. If respirators are deemed necessary, beards or facial hair that could interfere with the
use of the respirator are not allowed.

13. Dermal contact with soil and groundwater should be avoided. This includes avoiding
walking through puddles, pools, mud, sitting or leaning on or against drums,
equipment, or on the ground. Site personnel should wash their hands before eating,
smoking, using the toilet, etc. Site personnel should wash their hands, face and
shower (daily) as soon as possible after leaving the Site.

10 EPM, Inc.
6.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) AND AIR MONITORING

6.1 Personal Protective Equipment

The level of personal protection shall be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis. The SSO may decide
to upgrade the level of personal protection based on results of periodic air monitoring or
conditions observed during site work. Downgrading of PPE is permissible only under the
expressed direction of the SSO. The SSO is responsible for ensuring that adequate PPE and
safety equipment supplies are maintained at the Site. Based on known conditions, it is expected
that work will begin in Level D PPE, and upgraded to Modified Level D or Level C PPE as
warranted. A description of each level of PPE is provided below.

Level D PPE

Level D applies to work in areas where contact with significantly hazardous contaminated
groundwater and soil is not expected. Initially, it is anticipated that Level D PPE will be used for
this work, and upgraded as necessary. The protective equipment for Level D includes:

• Work clothes or coveralls;

• Safety work boots ;
• Safety glasses;
• Hard Hat;
• Hearing Protection as warranted;
• Reflective vest;
• Disposable latex gloves;
• First aid kit;
• Eye wash station; and,
• Potable drinking water or equivalent

Modified Level D (in addition to Level D)

Modified Level D protection will be used for dermal protection during field activities where
there is a potential to contact significantly contaminated soil or groundwater. Protective
equipment for modified level D includes:

• Tyvek® coveralls, and

• Outer Chemical resistant nitrile gloves and inner disposable latex gloves.

Level C (in addition to Modified Level D)

• Full face air purifying respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges and
dust pre-filters, and
• Chemical-resistant outer boots.

11 EPM, Inc.
6.2 Worker Exposure Air Monitoring

The Contractor, under the supervision of the SSO, will be responsible for performing air
monitoring for the purposes of protecting project workers during all ground intrusive activity to
avoid exposure to potentially harmful vapors and airborne particulates. This worker exposure air
monitoring is separate from the Community Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) that is discussed in the
following section. In addition to the following requirements, worker personal monitoring must
include lead monitoring per 29 CFR 1926.62 for workers performing ground intrusive work on
the Phelps Dodge parcels.

The worker exposure air monitoring will include measurements for methane gas, VOCs, and
particulates. The air monitoring results will be used to determine the appropriate PPE. A daily
calibrated PID will be used to monitor for VOC vapors within and at the perimeter of the
excavation. Methane levels will be measured with a 4-gas monitor or methane meter. A Data
Ram Particulate Meter, Dust Trak dust monitor, or similar will be used to monitor for total
particulates in the excavation work area(s). The SSO will be responsible for overseeing the air
monitoring, and may designate additional persons to perform the actual air monitoring under
his/her direct training and supervision. There will likely be a need to monitor multiple work
areas simultaneously based on the size of this project.

Air monitoring measurements will be performed each day prior to the start of excavation, during
excavation, and at the end of the day after excavation has ended. Measurements taken during
excavation will be conducted for a duration of at least 15 minutes for every one hour of
excavation activity, or more frequently if warranted based on field observations. The initial pre-
work readings will be used to establish background levels for that day. The measurements will
be collected from as close to the workers as possible from the breathing zone. The action levels
and required PPE responses are listed in the following Table A.

6.3 Community Air Monitoring Plan

A Community Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) will be required in accordance with the New York
State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Generic Community Air Monitoring Plan to protect the
surrounding community from exposure to potentially harmful vapors and particulates. The
CAMP is intended to protect the downwind public community, and is not intended to establish
respiratory protection levels for site workers. The CAMP will require real time air monitoring
for VOCs and particulates at the downwind perimeter of the exclusion zone or work area.
Continuous monitoring will be performed for all ground intrusive activities and during the
demolition of structures.

It is expected that the CAMP will be achieved by a combination of stationary air monitoring
stations situated at strategic locations along the project corridor as well as with hand held
portable devices. An example of a typical stationary air monitoring station for VOCs and
particulates is provided as Attachment F.

The preliminary proposed locations of stationary air monitoring stations are provided on Figure
2-1 and Figure 2-2. The final locations of any permanent CAMP air monitoring stations will be
selected by the Design/Build Contractor and NYSDOT based on construction phasing, and a
location plan will be provided to NYSDEC for review prior to the start of any invasive work.
Portable device measurements will supplement the stationary measurements, and will be
collected at locations appropriate to the work being performed at the time. When choosing
stationary monitoring locations, the prevailing wind direction to the northeast and location of
sensitive receptors such as residential neighborhoods will be considered. Of special concern to
the CAMP program is the monitoring and control of airborne particulates from the Phelps Dodge
Inactive Hazardous Waste Site in Queens.

6.3.1 VOC Monitoring, Response Levels, and Actions

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will be monitored at the downwind perimeter of the
immediate work area on a continuous basis during invasive work. Upwind concentrations will
be measured at the start of each work day and periodically thereafter to establish background
conditions. The monitoring work will be performed using equipment appropriate to measure the
types of contaminants known or suspected to exist. The equipment will be calibrated at least
daily per the manufacture’s specifications. The equipment will be capable of calculating 15-
minute running averages, which will be compared to the levels provided below. All readings,
whether from stationary or portable devices, will be recorded and available for review by
NYSDOH and NYSDEC personnel.

• If the ambient air concentration of the total organic vapors at the downwind perimeter of
the work area or exclusion zone exceeds 5 parts per million (ppm) above background for
the 15-minute average, work activities will be temporarily halted and monitoring

14 EPM, Inc.
 continued. If the total organic vapor level readily decreases (per instantaneous readings)
below 5 ppm over background, work activities will resume with continued monitoring.

• If total organic vapor levels at the downwind perimeter of the work area/exclusion zone
persist at levels in excess of 5 ppm over background but less than 25 ppm, work activities
will be halted, the source of vapors identified, corrective actions taken to abate emissions,
and monitoring continued. After these steps, work activities will resume provided that
the total organic vapor level 200 feet downwind of the work area perimeter or half the
distance to the nearest potential receptor or residential/occupied commercial structure,
whichever is less – but in no case less than 20 feet, is below 5 ppm over background for
the 15-minute average.

• If the organic vapor level is above 25 ppm at the perimeter of the work area, activities
will be shutdown and re-assessed.

6.3.2 Particulate Monitoring, Response Levels, and Actions

Particulate concentrations will be monitored continuously at the upwind and downwind

perimeter of the work area/exclusion zone. The particulate monitoring will be performed using
real-time monitoring equipment capable of measuring particulate matter less than 10
micrometers in size (PM-10) and capable of integrating over a period of 15 minutes for
comparison to the airborne particulate action level. The equipment will be equipped with
audible alarms to indicate exceedance of the action level. In addition, fugitive dust migration
will be visually assessed during all work activities.

• If the downwind PM-10 particulate level is 100 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3)
greater than background (upwind perimeter) for the 15-minute period or if airborne dust
is observed leaving the work area, then dust suppression techniques will be employed.
Work will continue with dust suppression techniques provided that the downwind PM-10
particulate levels do not exceed 150 μg/m3 above the upwind level and provided that no
visible dust is migrating from the work area.

• If, after implementation of dust suppression techniques, downwind PM-10 particulate

levels are greater than 150 μg/m3 above the upwind level, work will be stopped and a re-
evaluation of activities conducted. Work will resume provided that dust suppression
measures and other controls are successful in reducing the downwind PM-10 particulate
concentrations to within 150 μg/m3 above the upwind level and in preventing visible dust
migration.

6.4 Vapor and Dust Control

The following dust control measures will be required during all ground intrusive work to prevent
the migration of potentially contaminated soil particles:

15 EPM, Inc.
 • Water misting will be performed in dry weather or as necessary to suppress dust during
excavation activity. Water will be applied as necessary to haul roads, open excavations
and exposed soils, and excavator buckets;

• All soil transport vehicles will have tarp covers; and,

• Stabilized construction entrances using gravel pads will be placed at site entrances/exists
to prevent tracking out of soil and generation of dust.

The Contractor will be required to have mechanical venting equipment (fans or blowers) onsite
at all times during earth disturbance work to vent excavations of potential hazardous vapors such
as VOCs and methane as warranted based on the air monitoring results.

7.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES

7.1 Personnel Decontamination

Personnel decontamination, if considered necessary by the SSO, will take place in a designated
decontamination area, and will consist of the following:

• Soap and potable water wash and potable water rinse of gloves;
• Coverall removal, if applicable;
• Glove removal;
• Disposable clothing removal; and,
• Field wash of hands and face.

7.2 Sampling Equipment Decontamination

When is becomes necessary to collect soil or groundwater samples for laboratory analysis, such
as collecting waste soil samples for disposal characterization, disposable dedicated sampling
equipment will be used to eliminate the potential for cross contamination of samples whenever
possible. If used, all non-disposable sampling equipment will be decontaminated prior to initial
use, between sample locations, and prior to leaving the site as follows:
• Scrub equipment with brush and non-phosphate detergent solution (Alconox);
• Rinse with potable water;
• Final rinse with distilled water;
• Air dry the equipment; and,
• Wrap with clean aluminum foil until next use.
7.3 Heavy Equipment Decontamination

If heavy equipment comes in contact with contaminated soils, it will be decontaminated prior to
being moved to a clean area or prior to leaving the site. A designated decontamination area will

16 EPM, Inc.
be established, where soil will be washed/brushed from the tires/tracks and undercarriage of the
vehicles as necessary. If wash water is used, it will be collected for offsite disposal or will be
treated through an onsite dewatering treatment system if applicable.

8.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE

8.1 Emergency Procedures

In the event that an emergency develops at the site, the procedures noted in this section are to be
immediately followed. Emergency conditions are considered to exist if:

• Any member of the field crew is involved in an accident or experiences adverse effects or
symptoms of exposure while on the site;

• A condition is discovered that suggests a situation more hazardous than originally

expected; and/or,

• A spill of fuel or other hazardous material.

Emergency procedures for personal injury and chemical exposure are provided below. In the
event of an accident or emergency, an Incident Report Form will be completed and maintained
onsite. A sample Incident Report Form is provided in Attachment E.

8.1.1 Chemical Exposure

If a site worker shows symptoms of chemical exposure, the procedures outlined below should be
followed.

• Another team member should remove the individual from the immediate area of
contamination. The team member should communicate to the SSO regarding the
chemical exposure. The SSO should then contact the appropriate response agency;

• Precautions should be taken to avoid exposure of other crew members to the chemical;

• If the chemical is on the worker’s clothing, the chemical should be neutralized or

removed if it is safe to do so;

• If the chemical has contacted the skin, the skin should be washed with liberal amounts of
water;
• In case of eye contact, an emergency eye wash station should be used. Eyes should be
wasted for at least 15 minutes; and,

17 EPM, Inc.
 • All chemical exposure incidents must be reported in writing to the SSO. The SSO is
responsible for completing the Incident Report Form.

8.1.2 Personal Injury

First aid kits and eye wash stations will be maintained at the project site at all times. The
following procedures should be followed if a personal injury occurs at the site:

• Another team member should signal the SSO that a personal injury has occurred;

• A field team member trained in first aid may provide initial emergency treatment to the
injured individual if appropriate;

• If considered necessary, the victim should then be transported to the nearest hospital or
emergency medical center. An ambulance should be called to transport the individual if
necessary;

• The SSO will prepare the Incident Report Form. Follow up actions should be taken to
correct the situation that caused the accident; and,

• Any near miss incident, property damage, first aid, or medical treatment received must
also be reported.

8.1.3 Evacuation Procedures

The SSO will initiate evacuation procedures by signaling to leave the work area. All personnel
in the work area should immediately evacuate the area and meet in the pre-determined
evacuation area so that a head count can be performed. All personnel suspected of being in or
near the work area should be accounted for and their whereabouts determined immediately. The
SSO will provide further instructions as to whether it is safe to return to the work area or not.

8.1.4 Procedures for a Major Fire or Explosion

In the event of a major fire or explosion, the following procedures will be instituted:

• Notify the paramedics and/or fire department immediately as necessary;

• Signal the evacuation procedure previously described and implement the entire
procedure;
• Isolate the area;

• Stay upwind of any fire;

• Keep the area surrounding the incident clear after the incident occurs; and,

18 EPM, Inc.
 • The SSO should complete an Incident Report Form.

8.1.5 Spill Response

Any spill shall be reported immediately to the SSO. The SSO will then report the spill to the
Engineer-in-Charge. The Engineer-in-Charge will then determine the need and report any
required spills to NYSDEC, NYCDEP, and/or the National Response Center. Spill control
equipment, such as sorbent materials and booms, will be located on-site. All materials used for
the cleanup of spills will be containerized and labeled separately from other wastes. The
Engineer-in-Charge will determine if additional spill response measures are warranted. Any
impacted soil will be removed and stockpiled or drummed for offsite disposal at a permitted
facility.

8.1.6 Onsite Communication

If personnel are upgraded to Level C PPE, or verbal communications become difficult for any
reason, the following universal set of hand signals will be used:

Hand gripping throat: Can’t breathe.

Grip partner’s wrist or
place hands around waist: Leave work area immediately.
Hand on top of head: Need assistance.
Thumbs up: Okay. I’m all right.
Thumbs down: No. negative.

Flash Point, deg C −40 TAG

According to the US National Fire Protection Assocition Guide, use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water
Fire Extinguishing Agents may be ineffective on the flames, but water may be used to keep fire−exposed containers cool. If a leak of spill has
not ignited, use water to disperse the vapours

Liquid evaporates and forms vapour which can catch fire or explode. Invisible vapour spreads easily and can be set
on fire by ignition sources. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 29 deg C. Flowing liquid can be
Explosion Hazards ignited by self−generating statif electricity − use adequate grounding. Full body flame−resistant clothing and/or
turn−out gear recommended for persons attempting leak or spill control and for fire−fighting.

6. Accidential Release Measures

Eliminate all ignition sources including internal combustion engines and power tools. Ventillate area. Keep people
away. Stay upwind and warn of possible downwind explosion hazard. Avoid breathing vapours and eye or skin
In case of Spill contact. Use respirator and protective clothing as discussed in this MSDS (See section 8). Use supplied−air
respirator for large releases in confined area. Contain spill if possible. Remove with inert absorbent and place in
container for disposal at an approved facility. Prvent entry into sewers and waterways.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Handle and store in well−ventilated area and in accordance with local regulations regarding flammable liquids.
Empty contgainers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL,
GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARTKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION:
THEY MAY EXPLOSE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to clean since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should be
completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All othe containers should be disposed off in an environmentally
safe manenr and in accordance with governmental regulations.

8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection

Eyes Avoid eye contact. The wearing of chemical safety goggles or face shied is recommended.

Avoid contact withskin or street clothing. Skin contact can be minised by wearing protective clothing including
coveralls, gloves and boots. Gloves and boots should be resistant to chemicals and petroleum distillates. Exposed
Skin employees should exercise reasonable personal clealiness; this includes cleansing exposed skin several times daily
with soap and water, and laundering or dry cleaning soiled work clothing at least weekly..

If operating conditions create airborne concentrations which exceed the recommended exposure standard(s), the
use of an approved respirator is recommended. Wear approved respiratory protection such as organic vapour
Inhalation cartridge respirator with particulate prefilter. Use approved supplied air respiratory protection for cleaning large
spills or upon entry into tanks, vessels, or other confined spaces.

No special ventialtion is usually necessary. However, if operating conditions create high airborne concentrations of
Ventilation this material, engineering controls may be needed. Local exhuast ventilation and/or enclosure of the processes is
preferred in these cases

11. Toxicological Information

General Experimental chronic inhalation toxicology studies showed kidney disease, kidney cancer and liver cancer in
animals following exposure to wholly vaporized petrol. Additional studies limited to the volatile fraction of petrol
have not resulted in kidney damage, which is generally considered to be a precursor to kidney cancer. Many
scientists do not believe that the male rat is an appropriate animal model or predictor of human kidney cancer.
Epidemiology studies in human exposed to hydrocarbons have not indicated excess risk of kidney or liver cancer.
Petrol typically contains benzene in concentrations from about 0.t to 5%. Excessive exposure to benzene may
cause headaches, loss of appepite, rapid pulse, fatigue, increased bleeding tendencies, and liver and kidney
damage. Prolonged and repeated exposure to benzene has been associated with injury to and/or cancer of the
bloof−forming organs including aplastic anemia and leukemia. In animal studies, benzene has also been associated
with effects on the developing fetus. While the benzene content of petrol is relatively low, it is important to
minimize exposure to the skin and respiratory system to well within the current expsoure standards. Engineering
controls including full enclosure, vapour recovery, or local exhuast ventilation are recommended where routine
exposure may exceed applicable standards. Routine or intermittent skin contact should be avoided. Neoprene or
nitrile gloves are recommended for routine handling of petrol/gasoline. Whole gasoline exhuast was reviewed by
the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Evidence for causing cancer was considered inadequate
in animals and inadequate in humans. IARC placed whole gasoline exhuast in Category 2B, considering it possibly
carcinogenic to humans.

12. Ecological Information

which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Onset may be
delayed 2 to 4 hours or longer. Prolonged exposure to arsenic
compounds can cause exfoliation and pigmentation of skin,
herpes, inflammation of nerves, and nasal septum ulceration.

SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview: A bluish-white to silvery-grey heavy, soft metal that does not burn in bulk. Finely-divided lead dust
clouds are a moderate fire and explosion hazard, however. When heated strongly in air, highly toxic lead oxide fumes can be
generated. Inhalation or ingestion of lead may produce both acute and chronic health effects. Possible cancer and
reproductive hazard. SCBA and full protective clothing are required for fire emergency response personnel.

Potential Health Effects: Inhalation or ingestion of lead dust or fumes may result in headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal
spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia and leg, arm, and joint pain. Prolonged exposure may also cause
central nervous system damage, hypertension, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, kidney dysfunction and possible
reproductive effects. Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure in order to prevent lead crossing the
placental barrier and causing infant neurological disorders. Lead and inorganic lead compounds are listed as an A3
Carcinogen (Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans) by the ACGIH. IARC has listed lead
compounds as Group 2A Carcinogens (Probably Carcinogenic to Humans) while lead metal is listed as Group 2B (Possibly
Carcinogenic to Humans). The NTP has recently listed lead and lead compounds as Reasonably Anticipated to be a Human
Carcinogen. OSHA and the EU does not currently list lead as a human carcinogen. (See Toxicological Information, Section
11)

January 4, 2010 Lead Metal Page 1 of 6

Potential Environmental Effects: Lead metal has relatively low bioavailability; however, compounds which it forms with
other elements can be toxic to both aquatic and terrestrial organisms at low concentrations. These compounds can be
particularly toxic in the aquatic environment. Lead bioaccumulates in plants and animals in both aquatic and terrestrial
environments (see Ecological Information, Section 12).

EU Risk Phrase(s): R61 - May cause harm to unborn child; R62 – Risk of impaired fertility; R20/22 - Harmful by inhalation
and if swallowed; R33 - Danger of cumulative effects.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact: Do not allow victim to rub eye(s). Let the eye(s) water naturally for a few minutes. If particle/dust does not
dislodge, flush with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until particle/dust is removed, while holding eyelid(s) open.
If irritation persists, immediately obtain medical attention. DO NOT attempt to manually remove anything stuck to the eye.

Skin Contact: Dust: Remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands, belts). Quickly and gently blot
or brush away excess chemical. Wash gently and thoroughly with lukewarm gently flowing water and non-abrasive soap for 5
minutes. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical advice. Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather
goods before reuse or else discard. Molten Metal: Flush contact area to solidify and cool but do not attempt to remove encrusted
material or clothing. Cover burns and seek medical attention immediately.

Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure area to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should
begin artificial respiration. Medical oxygen may be administered by trained personnel, where breathing is difficult. If the heart
has stopped, immediately start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), or automated external defibrillation (AED). Quickly
transport victim to an emergency care facility.

Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or convulsing. Have
victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Have victim drink 2 – 8 oz. (60 – 240 ml) of water. If
vomiting occurs naturally, have victim rinse mouth with water again. Obtain medical advice and bring a copy of this MSDS.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire and Explosion Hazards: Massive metal is not flammable or combustible. Finely-divided lead dust or powder is a
moderate fire hazard and moderate explosion hazard when dispersed in the air at high concentrations and exposed to heat,
flame, or other ignition sources. Explosions may also occur upon contact with certain incompatible materials (see Stability and
Reactivity, Section 10).

Extinguishing Media: Use any means of extinction appropriate for surrounding fire conditions such as water spray, carbon
dioxide, dry chemical, or foam.

Fire Fighting: If possible, move material from fire area and cool material exposed to flame. Highly toxic lead oxide fumes
may evolve in fires. Fire fighters must be fully trained and wear full protective clothing including an approved, self-contained
breathing apparatus which supplies a positive air pressure within a full face-piece mask.

Flashpoint and Method: Not Applicable.

Upper and Lower Flammable Limit: Not Applicable.

Autoignition Temperature: Not Applicable.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Procedures for Cleanup: Control source of spillage if possible to do so safely. Restrict access to the area until completion of
clean-up. Clean up spilled material immediately, observing precautions in Section 8, Personal Protection. Molten metal
should be allowed to solidify before cleanup. If solid metal, wear gloves, pick up and return to process. If dust, wear
recommended personal protective equipment (see Section 8) and use methods which will minimize dust generation (e.g.,
vacuum solids). Return uncontaminated spilled material to the process if possible. Place contaminated material in suitable
labelled containers for later recovery or disposal. Treat or dispose of waste material in accordance with all local, regional, and
national requirements.

Personal Precautions: Persons responding to an accidental release should wear protective clothing, gloves and a respirator
(see also Section 8). Close-fitting safety goggles may be necessary in some circumstances to prevent eye contact with dust
and fume. Where molten metal is involved, wear heat-resistant gloves and suitable clothing for protection from hot-metal

January 4, 2010 Lead Metal Page 2 of 6

splash as well as a respirator to protect against inhalation of lead fume. Workers should wash and change clothing following
cleanup of a lead spill to prevent personal contamination with lead dust.

Environmental Precautions: Lead metal has low bioavailability; however, compounds which it forms with other elements can
be toxic to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Releases of the product to water and soil should be prevented.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Store in a DRY, covered area, separate from strong acids, other incompatible materials, active metals and food or feedstuffs.
Solid metal suspected of containing moisture should be THOROUGHLY DRIED before being added to a molten bath.
Otherwise, entrained moisture could expand explosively and spatter molten metal out of the bath. Always practice good
personal hygiene. Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas. Thoroughly wash hands before eating, drinking, or
smoking in appropriate, designated areas as well as at the end of the workday. No special packaging materials are required.

EU Safety Phrase(s): S53 - Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use; S45 – In case of accident, or if you feel
unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show label where possible)

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Protective Clothing: Gloves and coveralls or other work clothing are recommended to prevent prolonged or repeated direct
skin contact when lead is processed. Appropriate eye protection should be worn where fume or dust is generated. Where hot
or molten metal is handled, heat resistant gloves, goggles or face shield, and clothing to protect from hot metal splash should
be worn. Safety type boots are recommended.

Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Thoroughly wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking in appropriate,
designated areas as well as at the end of the workday. A double locker-shower system with separate clean and dirty sides is
usually required for lead handling operations to avoid cross-contamination of street clothes. Contaminated clothing should be
changed frequently and laundered before each reuse. Inform laundry personnel of contaminants’ hazards. Workers should
not take dirty work clothes home and launder them with other personal clothing.

Ventilation: Use adequate local or general ventilation to maintain the concentration of lead fumes in the working environment
well below recommended occupational exposure limits. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by the
exhaust system. Local exhaust is recommended for melting, casting, welding, grinding, flame cutting or burning, and use of
lead powders.

Respirators: Where lead dust or fumes are generated and cannot be controlled to within acceptable levels by engineering
means, use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protection equipment (a 42CFR84 Class N, R or P-100 particulate filter
cartridge). When exposure levels are obviously high but the actual concentration is unknown, a self-contained breathing
apparatus which supplies a positive air pressure within a full face-piece mask should be worn.

SECTION 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

Stability & Reactivity: Massive metal is stable and not considered reactive under normal temperatures and pressures.
Hazardous polymerization or runaway reactions will not occur. Freshly cut or cast lead surfaces tarnish rapidly due to the
formation of an insoluble protective layer of basic lead carbonate.

January 4, 2010 Lead Metal Page 3 of 6

Incompatibilities: Lead reacts vigorously with strong acids (e.g. hot concentrated nitric acid, boiling concentrated
hydrochloric acid, etc.), strong oxidizers such as peroxides, chlorates, nitrates and halogen or interhalogen compounds such
as chlorine trifluoride. Powdered lead metal in contact with disodium acetylide, chlorine trifluoride, sodium carbide or fused
ammonium nitrate poses a risk of explosion. Solutions of sodium azide in contact with lead metal can form lead azide, which
is a detonating compound. Vigorous reactions can also occur between molten lead and active metals, such as sodium,
potassium, lithium and calcium. A lead-zirconium alloy (10-70% Zr) will ignite when struck with a hammer.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: High temperature operations such as oxy-acetylene cutting or burning, electric arc
welding or overheating a molten bath will generate highly toxic lead oxide fume. Lead oxide is highly soluble in body fluids and
the particle size of the metal fumes is largely within the respirable size range, which increases the likelihood of inhalation and
deposition of the fume within the body.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

General: Lead accumulates in bone and body organs once it enters the body. Elimination from the body is slow. Initial and
periodic medical examinations are advised for persons repeatedly exposed to levels above the exposure limits of lead dust or
fumes. Once lead enters the body, it can affect a variety of organ systems, including the nervous system, kidneys,
reproductive system, blood formation, and gastrointestinal system. The primary routes of exposure to lead are inhalation or
ingestion of dust and fumes.

Acute:
Skin/Eye: Contact with dust or fume may cause local irritation but would not cause tissue damage.

Inhalation: Exposure to lead dust or fume may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep
disturbances, weight loss, anemia, and pain in legs, arms, and joints. An intense, short-term exposure to lead could cause
acute encephalopathy with seizures, coma, and death. However, short-term exposures of this magnitude are unlikely in
industry today. Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure.

Ingestion: Symptoms due to ingestion of lead dust or fume would be similar to those from inhalation. Other health effects
such as metallic taste in the mouth and constipation or bloody diarrhea might also occur.

Chronic:
Prolonged exposure to lead dust and fume may produce many of the symptoms of short-term exposure and may also cause
central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and, rarely, wrist drop. Reduced hemoglobin
production has been associated with low lead exposures. Symptoms of central nervous system damage due to moderate lead
exposure include fatigue, headaches, tremors and hypertension. Very high lead exposure can result in lead encephalopathy
with symptoms of hallucinations, convulsions, and delirium. Kidney dysfunction and possible injury has also been associated
with chronic lead poisoning. Chronic over-exposure to lead has been implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of
male and female reproductive capacity. Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure as lead can cross the
placental barrier and unborn children may suffer neurological damage or developmental problems due to excessive lead
exposure. Teratogenic and mutagenic effects from exposure to lead have been reported in some studies but not in others.
The literature is inconsistent and no firm conclusions can be drawn at this time. Lead and lead compounds are listed as an A3
Carcinogen (Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans) by the ACGIH. IARC has listed lead
compounds as Group 2A Carcinogens (Probably Carcinogenic to Humans) while lead metal is listed as Group 2B (Possibly
Carcinogenic to Humans). The NTP has recently listed lead and lead compounds as Reasonably Anticipated to be a Human
Carcinogen. OSHA and the EU do not currently list lead as a human carcinogen.

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

While lead metal is relatively insoluble, its processing or extended exposure in aquatic and terrestrial environments may lead
to the release of lead compounds in more bioavailable forms. While lead compounds are not particularly mobile in the aquatic
environment, they can be toxic to aquatic organisms, especially fish, at low concentrations. Water hardness, pH and dissolved
organic carbon content are three major factors which regulate the degree of lead toxicity. Lead in soil is generally neither very
mobile nor bioavailable, as it can become strongly sorbed onto soil particles, increasingly so over time, to a degree related to
physical properties of the soil. Lead bioaccumulates in plants and animals in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:
- OSHA Acceptable Ceiling Concentration:
mercury and mercury compounds: 0.1 mg/m3 (TWA), skin
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
inorganic and metallic mercury, as Hg: 0.025 mg/m3 (TWA) skin, A4 Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
- ACGIH Biological Exposure Indices:
total inorganic mercury in urine (preshift): 35 ug/g creatinine;
total inorganic mercury in blood (end of shift): 15 ug/l.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial
Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half-face respirator with a mercury vapor or chlorine gas cartridge may be worn for up to ten
times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece
respirator with a mercury vapor or chlorine gas cartridge may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentraiton specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure,
air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

1.0 HEAT STRESS

Excessive exposure to a hot environment can bring a variety of heat-induced disorders.

The four main types of heat stress related illnesses: heat rash, heat cramps, heat
exhaustion, and heat stroke are discussed.

1.1 Heat Rash

Heat rash, also known as prickly heat, is likely to occur in hot, humid environments
where sweat is not readily removed from the surface of the skin by evaporation and the
skin remains wet most of the time. The sweat ducts become plugged, and a skin rash soon
appears. When the rash is extensive or when it is complicated by an infection, prickly
heat can be very uncomfortable and may reduce a worker’s performance. The worker can
prevent this condition by resting in a cool place part of each day and by regularly bathing
and drying the skin.

1.2 Heat Cramps

Heat cramps are painful spasms of the muscles that occur among those who sweat
profusely in heat, drink large quantities of water, but do not adequately replace the body’s
salt loss. Drinking large quantities of water tends to dilute the body’s fluids, while the
body continues to lose salt. Shortly thereafter, the low salt level in the muscles causes
painful cramps. The affected muscles may be part of the arms, legs or abdomen, but tired
muscles (those used to perform the work) are usually the ones most susceptible to
cramps. Cramps may occur during or after work hours and may be relieved by taking
salted liquids by mouth, such as the variety of sports drinks on the market.

CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERSIZED BY PEOPLE WITH HEART PROBLEMS OR

THOSE ON LOW SODIUM DIETS WHO WORK IN HOT ENVIRONMENTS.
THESE PEOPLE SHOULD CONSULT A PHYSICIAN ABOUT WHAT TO DO
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

1.3 Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion includes several clinical disorders having symptoms that may resemble
the early symptoms of heat stroke. Heat exhaustion is caused by the loss of large amounts
of fluid by sweating, sometimes with excessive loss of salt. A worker suffering from this
condition still sweats but experiences extreme weakness or fatigue, giddiness, nausea, or
headache. In more serious cases, the victim may vomit or lose consciousness. The skin is
clammy and moist, the complexion is pale or flushed, and the body temperature is normal
or only slightly elevated.

A summary of the key symptoms of heat exhaustion are as follows:

• Clammy skin
• Confusion
 • Dizziness
• Fainting
• Fatigue
• Heat Rash
• Light-headedness
• Nausea
• Profuse sweating
• Slurred Speech
• Weak Pulse

In most cases, treatment involves having the victim rest in a cool place and drink plenty
of fluids. Victims with mild cases of heat exhaustion usually recover spontaneously with
this treatment. Those with severe cases may require extended care for several days. There
are no known permanent effects.

AS WITH HEAT CRAMPS, CERTAIN PERSONS SHOULD CONSULT WITH

THEIR PHYSICIAN ABOUT WHAT TO DO UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

1.4 Heat Stroke

This is the most serious of health problems associated with working in hot environments.
It occurs when the body’s temperature regulatory system fails and sweating becomes
inadequate. The body’s only effective means of removing excess heat is compromised
with little warning to the victim that a crisis stage has been reached.

A heat stroke victim’s skin is hot, usually dry, red or spotted. Body temperature is usually
105°F or higher, and the victim is mentally confused, delirious, perhaps in convulsions,
or unconscious. Unless the victim receives quick and appropriate treatment, death can
occur.

A summary of key symptoms of heat stroke are as follows:

• Confusion
• Convulsions
• Incoherent Speech
• Staggering Gait
• Unconsciousness
• Sweating stops
• Hot skin, high temperature (yet extremities may feel chilled)

Any person with signs or symptoms of heat stroke requires immediate hospitalization.
However, first aid should be immediately administered. This includes moving the victim
to a cool area, thoroughly soaking the clothing with water, and vigorously fanning the
body to increase cooling. Further treatment at a medical facility should include
continuation of the cooling process and the monitoring of complications that often
accompany the heat stroke. Early recognition and treatment of heat stroke are the only
means of preventing permanent brain damage or death.

1.5 Preparing for the Heat

Humans, to a large extent, are capable of adjusting to heat. This acclimation to heat,
under normal circumstances, usually takes about 5-7 days, during which time the body
will undergo a series of changes that will make continued exposure to heat more
tolerable.

On the first day of exposure, body temperature, pulse rate, and general discomfort will be
higher. With each succeeding day of exposure, all of these responses will gradually
decrease, while the sweat rate will increase. When the body does become acclimated to
the heat, the worker will find it possible to perform work with less strain and distress.

A gradual exposure to heat gives the body time to become accustomed to higher
temperatures, such as those encountered in chemical protective clothing.

1.6 Protecting against Heat Stress

There are several methods that can be used to reduce heat stress:

• Limit duration of work periods

• Use protective clothing with cooling devices
• Enforce the use of the “Buddy System”
• Consume electrolyte solutions prior to suiting up
• Monitor workers for pulse recovery rates, body fluid loss, body weight loss, and
excess fatigue
• Screen for heat stress susceptible candidates in your medical surveillance program
• Have all personnel know the signs and symptoms of heat stress

2.0 COLD STRESS

Persons working outdoors in temperatures at or below freezing may be frostbitten.

Extreme cold for a short time may cause severe injury to the surface of the body, or result
in profound generalized cooling, causing death. Areas of the body that have high surface
area-to-volume ratio such as fingers, toes, and ears, are the most susceptible. Two factors
influence the development of a cold injury; ambient temperature and the velocity of the
wind. Wind chill is used to describe the chilling effect of moving air in combination with
low temperature. For instance, 10 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind of 15 miles per hour
(mph) is equivalent in chilling effect to still air at minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit.

As a general rule, the greatest incremental increase in wind chill occurs when a wind of 5
mph increases to 10 mph. Additionally, water conducts heat 240 times faster than air.
Thus, the body cools suddenly when chemical-protective equipment is removed if the
clothing underneath is perspiration soaked.
2.1 Frostbite

Local injury resulting from cold is included in the generic term frostbite. There are
several degrees of damage. Frostbite of the extremities can be categorized into:

• Frost Nip or Initial Frostbite: characterized by suddenly blanching or whitening

of skin.
• Superficial Frostbite: skin has a waxy or white appearance and is firm to the
touch, but tissue beneath is resilient.
• Deep Frostbite: tissues are cold, pale, and solid; extremely serious injury.

2.2 Hypothermia

Systemic hypothermia is caused by exposure to freezing or rapidly dropping temperature.

Its symptoms are usually exhibited in five stages:

• Shivering
• Apathy, listlessness, sleepiness, and (sometimes rapid cooling of the body to less
than 95 degree Fahrenheit)
• Unconsciousness, glassy stage, slow pulse, and slow respiratory rate
• Freezing of the extremities
• Death

Thermal socks, long cotton or thermal underwear, hard hat liners and other cold weather
gear can aid in the prevention of hypothermia. Blankets and warm drinks (other than
caffeinated coffee) are also recommended.

Measures shall be taken to keep workers from getting wet, such as issuance of rain gear.
Workers whose clothes become wet shall be given the opportunity to dry off and change
clothes.
