3.0 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM
Jacobs will use the services of an occupational physician with specialized training in
occupational medicine to oversee the implementation of the medical monitoring program. The
HSM or a designee will coordinate with the occupational physician to ensure that the
necessary information is communicated concerning the operations to be performed, PPE
requirements, and medical monitoring results. Jacobs will rely on the occupational physician
to determine the medical examination and surveillance requirements.
3.1 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE
Each Jacobs employee is responsible for completing a monthly Hazardous Material Exposure
and Field Activity Report and for notifying management if an incident or exposure occurs.
Jacobs Anchorage Health and Safety Office ensures distribution of blank forms to appropriate
employees, collects completed forms, and forwards completed forms to Corporate HSE for
review and retention.
Field personnel shall participate in a medical surveillance program. Field workers will provide
the SSHO documentation (e.g., a physician’s letter) of their participation in the medical
program and evidence that they are current. Workers with medical limitations, as well as
employers of subcontract employees, are responsible for notifying the SSHO of said
limitations so work tasks will be appropriately assigned. Section 2.0 presents additional
OSHA and site-specific health and safety training requirements.
3.2 EMPLOYEE CONSULTATIONS
Each person in the medical surveillance program will receive a summary letter from the
physician reporting the results of her/his physical. This letter will confirm that an individual is
physically qualified to work on the project or will identify the reasons why the individual is
not qualified.
-
3.3 SUBCONTRACTOR PERSONNEL
Subcontractors are required to submit certification of training and medical clearance for all
personnel prior to mobilization.

4.0 SS67 AND WP45/SS57 GENERAL PROJECT TASKS
The SS67 and WP45/SS57 sites area located on Eielson AFB, approximately 24 miles
southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. SS67 is a portion of Garrison Slough that flows from the
southern portion of Eielson AFB northward eventually exiting across the northern boundary
of Eielson AFB. The SS67 portion of Garrison Slough passes through the developed portion
of the base near Building 2350 and is predominantly channelized. WP45/SS57 is located in
the central, developed portion of Eielson AFB adjacent to the main taxiway and encompasses
an area of approximately 11 acres.
4.1 PLANNED FIELD ACTIVITIES
Fieldwork is anticipated to begin in November 2012. The two sites share several safety
requirements due to similar environmental and weather conditions. Workers must be familiar
with work in cold weather, the equipment to be used, and must wear appropriate PPE,
including hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, high-visibility safety vests, and safety-toe boots.
For site SS67, fieldwork will consist of collecting MULTI INCREMENT® (MI) sediment
samples and surface-water samples to evaluate contamination by polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCB), organochlorine pesticides, and mercury. For site WP45/SS57, fieldwork will consist
of subsurface screening, drilling to obtain soil cores and install monitoring wells, and soil,
groundwater, and soil vapor sampling to evaluate trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-1,2-DCE, and
benzene contamination.
4.1.1 MULTI INCREMENT® and Surface-Water Sampling
Planned activities include collection of 40 MI samples and 3 surface-water samples. Sampling
will involve use of survey equipment and hand tools to locate and collect sediment and soil
samples from surface and near-surface sediment.
In 1997, an item of unexploded ordnance (UXO) was identified at SS67 and removed. A
subsequent geophysical survey in 2007 did not identify any additional UXO. Any metal
debris identified by the geophysical survey was removed.
-
Prior to site work, reporting on the UXO removal and the subsequent geophysical survey will
be reviewed by a UXO technician and a geophysicist in relation to HSEP 9.5 Unexploded
Ordnance (included in Attachment A-6) to determine whether additional surveying is needed.
4.1.2 Soil Borings
Planned soil borings are be drilled at 20 locations. Workers will follow the procedures
outlined in this SSHP for work around heavy equipment (Section 4.2.7).
4.1.3 Monitoring Well Installation
Planned monitoring wells will be installed at 26 locations to 25 to 300 feet below ground
surface (bgs) to extend the current monitoring network. Workers will follow the procedures
outlined in this SSHP for work around heavy equipment (Section 4.2.7).
4.1.4 Soil Vapor Sampling
To evaluate the potential for vapor intrusion, five indoor, five outdoor, and five sub-slab soil-
gas samples are planned. Ground-penetrating radar will be used to check for utilities before
installing sub-slab sampling points.
4.2 SS67 AND WP45/SS57 HAZARD ELEMENTS
The following potential hazards associated with work at SS67 and WP45/SS57 have been
identified:
Wildlife
Uneven terrain and ice
Weather conditions
Chemical hazards
Utility lines
Lifting and moving
Heavy equipment
Traffic
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 4-2 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
Fire
Garrison Slough and other water bodies
Debris
Earthquakes
Noise
Cold and heat stress
Darkness during winter work
Hand and power tools
Wet feet
Bloodborne pathogens
4.2.1 Wildlife
Large mammals such as bear and moose as well as smaller mammals may be found in the
area. These animals are not accustomed to human presence. Prudence should be exercised in
any potential animal encounter. Workers will maintain a safe distance from wild animals, and
avoid surprising them. When a bear is sighted, workers will calmly contact the SSHO, Jacobs
Site Manager (SM), and/or co-workers in the area as soon as possible. Workers will be
familiar with and follow HSEP 7.4 Working Safely around Wild Animals (in Attachment A-6).
4.2.2 Uneven Terrain and Ice
Work at SS67 will involve walking on wetland terrain that may be hummocky and difficult to
traverse. Developed terrain at both sites may have hidden obstacles. During the winter
months, ice may be encountered due to changing weather conditions, stream overflow, spilled
water, and other reasons. Regardless of the terrain, caution must be taken when traversing
areas by foot. The specific terrain should be considered when generating safe plans of action
(SPA) for project tasks. Efforts will be made to use existing paths and trails when possible.
Strap-on traction aids and/or traction sand may be needed to mitigate ice hazards.

4.2.3 Weather Conditions
Due to the potential for rapidly changing weather in Alaska, personnel should be fully advised
of the need to dress warmly and in layers with a waterproof and/or windproof outer shell, as
appropriate. Insulated safety footwear will be required for winter work. The need for adequate
clothing will be discussed at project planning meetings and site safety orientations.
Another hazard of the rapidly changing weather is that of electrical storms. In accordance
with USACE EM 385-1-1, when conditions are such that lightning is observed, all drilling
equipment operations shall cease. A period of 30 minutes between subsequent observations
shall be observed prior to resuming work.
Daily limits for working in windy conditions will be set during the morning safety tailgate
meetings and will vary depending on project task, type of wind (gusty or steady), and wind
chill factor.
4.2.4 Chemical Hazards
The following chemical contaminants are suspected or known to be present onsite:
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene (DCE)
Benzene
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)
Organochlorine pesticides
Mercury
Attachment A-3 presents the hazards associated with the contaminant listed above.
Attachment A-7 contains Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the chemical hazards listed
above as well as chemicals brought to the site (i.e., gasoline and diesel) and solvents (i.e.,
methanol) associated with sample preservation. If any additional contaminants are found, the
field team will ensure that the appropriate MSDSs are available onsite.

-
4.2.5 Utility Lines
Utility lines including electric, communication, water, and sewer may be present in drilling
areas. These features will be located prior to commencing any drilling or other intrusive
activities. If utilities are identified in the area, Jacobs HSEP 7.3.3 Utility Clearance (in
Attachment A-6) will be followed.
4.2.6 Lifting and Moving
Using proper technique to lift and move heavy pieces of equipment is important to reduce the
potential for back injury. The following precautions should be implemented when lifting or
moving heavy objects:
If mechanical devices are not available, ask another person to assist you.
Bend at the knees, not the waist. Let your legs do the lifting.
Do not twist while lifting.
Bring the load as close to you as possible before lifting.
When carrying heavy objects, be sure the path you are taking is free of obstructions and all slip, trip, and fall hazards.
Use mechanical devices to move objects, investigation-derived waste (IDW), or generators that are too heavy to be moved manually.
4.2.7 Heavy Equipment
Working around drilling equipment is one of the more significant hazards associated with
activities at WP45/SS57. This section addresses the general safety procedures to apply while
working around heavy equipment.
Before any machinery or mechanized equipment is used, it will be inspected and certified to
be in safe operating condition. Jacobs will designate a competent person to be responsible for
the daily inspection of all machinery and equipment. Only designated and qualified personnel
will operate machinery and mechanized equipment. Equipment deficiencies that affect safe
operation will be corrected prior to continuing operation. The SM will determine the
competent operator prior to the start of any heavy-equipment operations.
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 4-5 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
4.2.8 Traffic
Personnel will exercise vigilance to avoid vehicles and make eye contact with operators when
working or passing nearby. If work will be conducted within a road right-of-way, a specific
traffic control plan will be generated according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices for Streets and Highways (U.S. Department of Transportation [DOT] 2009).
4.2.9 Fire and Hot Work
Fire extinguishers (Type ABC or BC) will be provided for each vehicle used onsite that are
less than 5 years old and will be inspected prior to placement in a vehicle. Smoking is
prohibited on the job site. Flammable and combustible liquids (such as fuel) will be stored in
approved (OSHA and National Fire Protection Association Code 30) containers. A safety can
or approved system will be used for dispensing flammable or combustible liquids; it will be
stored in flammable storage cabinets or appropriate storage areas separated from occupied
buildings. Flammable material will be separated from oxidizers by at least 20 feet. Vehicle
fueling tanks will be grounded, and there will be bonding between the tank and vehicle being
fueled. Spills will be cleaned up immediately and then reported, and wastes will be disposed
of properly.
Hot work (e.g., welding, brazing, high-speed grinding, and warming tooling with a weed
burner) will require a permit issued in accordance with the Eielson AFB Fire Prevention
Program. Permit issuers must be trained by the Fire Prevention Program. Call the Fire
Prevention Program at 907-377-1293 to arrange for training.
4.2.10 Garrison Slough and Other Water Bodies
Personnel entering Garrison Slough will exercise extreme caution. The work area along the
slough is a low-lying area next to a channelized water course generally about 1 foot deep.
Hummocky terrain with dead vegetation may cover low spots, increasing the danger of slips,
trips, and falls. The nearby water course presents a risk of hypothermia during work in the
winter months if a person falls in. If the water course is frozen over, personnel will not move
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 4-6 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
out onto the ice where there is a chance that the water beneath may be more than a few inches
deep.
Summer sediment sampling may encompass stretches of the Chatanika River, Piledriver
Slough, the Chena River, and/or another body of water to be identified in the final Quality
Assurance Project Plan for SS67. Such work will be guided by Jacobs HSEP 15.3 Work Over
or Adjacent to Water (in Attachment A-6). Near-shore sediment sampling in water up to about
1 foot deep while wearing waders is probable. Key safety features of such work include
wearing an appropriate personal flotation device, avoiding areas of strong current, having a
throwable rescue line, and using the buddy system. If work over water is necessary (e.g., from
a small boat), a detailed activity hazard analysis (AHA) for that activity will be developed
before mobilizing for that work.
4.2.11 Debris
Sharp objects including glass, metal, and wood debris may be present around the sites and
near several of the off-site monitoring wells. Employees should be cognizant of these
potential hazards and mitigate them as they are identified.
4.2.12 Earthquakes
Earthquakes are the most likely natural disaster on Eielson AFB. Personnel will be familiar
with the emergency evacuation routes and contacts provided in Attachment A-1. Muster
points and procedures will be covered at site-specific safety orientations and reviewed
periodically during daily safety tailgate meetings. After the earthquake has subsided, contact
the Jacobs Anchorage home office and inform them of the status of the team.
4.2.13 Noise Protection
Noise in excess of 85 decibels is expected during use of drill rigs, soil borings, and
monitoring well installation. Foam ear plugs and ear muffs will be available. Employees
should be cognizant of these potential hearing hazards via the AHA/SPA process and mitigate
them as necessary.
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 4-7 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
4.2.14 Cold and Heat Stress
The SS67 and WP45/SS57 sites are located in the interior near Fairbanks, Alaska. Early
winter temperatures average -2 to +12 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) with extremes of -45 to +49°F,
and winter storms can bring wind and precipitation. Employees should be aware of the
fluctuations in climatic conditions and dress themselves in the appropriate clothing beneath
their PPE, including but not limited to thermal underwear, hats, gloves, jacket, insulated
safety-toe boots, and other winter gear.
During summer work, ambient temperatures above 80°F are common. Employees wearing
impervious coveralls, Tyvek® suits, or similar protective equipment should be aware of the
potential risk of heat stress.
When ambient air temperature falls below 30F or above 80F, the SSHO will monitor and
recommend work/rest regimens to the SM. Work/rest regimens will be based upon the
guidelines in the Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and
Biological Exposure Indices (American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists
2006). Additional guidance is provided by Jacobs HSEPs 11.4 Cold Stress Control and 11.05
Heat Stress Control (in Attachment A-6).
4.2.15 Darkness During Winter Work
Artificial lighting will be needed during morning and afternoon hours for outdoor work. As a
point of reference, on 1 December, sunrise is at 10:17 and sunset is at 14:58, providing 4
hours 41 minutes of relatively strong illumination, and twilight provides an additional 2 hours
and 30 minutes of weaker light. Artificial lighting includes personal light-emitting diode
headlamps, battery- or propane-powered lanterns, light plants powered by diesel generators,
and similar devices.
To maximize worker visibility in darkness, upper-body outerwear will include reflective
strips. For winter work, the base color of the outerwear may be black (most visible against
snow) or high-visibility yellow, orange, or pink.

-
4.2.16 Hand and Power Tools
Tools shall be inspected and in good working condition prior to being brought onto the project
site. The use of power tools may be required during fieldwork. The proper tool should always
be selected for the specific task. Shields, guards, and other safety mechanisms should always
be left in place and operational. Use of power tools will be in accordance with the operating
manual and manufacturer’s instructions. Tools will be inspected prior to use to protect against
breakage and potential injury.
4.2.17 Wet Feet
Personnel entering Garrison Slough may wear rubber boots or waders (safety toes not
required). This footwear should be inspected prior to use for absence of leaks and proper fit.
4.2.18 Bloodborne Pathogens
Employees shall minimize the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens by practicing a
combination of good personal hygiene, proper PPE, and safe work practices.

7.0 HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES AND STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
This SSHP brings together site- and task-specific corporate procedures (Jacobs HSEPs and
project-specific standard operating procedures) and CFR requirements to create a concise and
relevant document designed for usability by members of the project team. In case of conflict
among the corporate procedures, the most stringent shall apply. The Jacobs HSEPs, located in
Appendix D-6 and on JNet, present typical situations and hazards for frequently executed
project tasks. HSEPs should be consulted when building an SPA for a task; if an HSEP does
not exist, the SPA will require particular attention to detail.

8.0 AIR MONITORING PLAN
Under supervision of the SSHO, air monitoring will be conducted where contaminant-bearing
vapors or dust (Section 4.2.4), lead dust, or petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) may be
present. Table 8-1 provides air monitoring requirements and action levels for the WP45/SS57
site; no breathing hazards are anticipated at the SS67 site. The type and extent of monitoring
will depend upon site-specific conditions and the contaminants encountered at the sites. If a
change in conditions is observed at either site, additional monitoring may be required.
Breathing-zone as well as areal monitoring will be conducted to verify that the field team is
using appropriate types and levels of PPE. Air monitoring results will be documented in the
field logbooks or on monitoring forms. Monitoring instruments will be calibrated in
accordance with manufacturer instructions. Calibrations will be documented in the field
logbooks or on calibration forms.
Field crews will use a photoionization detector (PID) equipped with a 10.6-electron-volt lamp
as the primary method of monitoring. Based on historical monitoring data, the PID is
considered protective of site personnel. This method is not considered complete but is the
most readily available indicator of organic vapors in the atmosphere. Prior to PID use,
background levels must be established by monitoring outside the exclusion zone or controlled
area and upwind of the site. The PID reads in units of parts per million (ppm), and the
readings should be sustained for one minute to determine exposure.
Although the PID method is not sensitive enough to detect harmful levels of benzene, benzene
has not been detected directly in the breathing zone at WP45/SS57. If the PID detects organic
vapors (readings greater than 1 ppm above background) in the breathing zone at a site where
benzene is a known contaminant of concern, the breathing zone shall be tested with a direct-
reading instrument for benzene. If benzene is detected, personnel will wear passive
dosimeters and will modify procedures in accordance with Table 8-1.
Section 9.4 of this document provides general PPE recommendations and describes the
various levels of respiratory protection. The AHAs contained in this SSHP (see Attachment
A-4) address the required PPE for potential exposure for specific activities. Conditions that
-
exceed action levels in Table 8-1 will require an upgrade of PPE until monitoring
demonstrates otherwise. The SSHO, with the assistance of trained field personnel, will
identify these conditions.
Laboratory analysis will be considered when specific contaminants of concern have been
identified, or no other method is available to monitor worker exposure. If samples are to be
submitted to a laboratory, a blank sample filter will be submitted for quality control purposes.
Results of the monitoring must be communicated to workers formally within 15 working days
after receipt of the results. Off-site analysis is not anticipated for this project.

9.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Workers are required to protect themselves from chemical and physical hazards, which for
this project are described in Sections 4.2.1 through 4.2.17. In accordance with OSHA 29 CFR
1910, Subpart I (Personal Protective Equipment), appropriate PPE will be provided for each
worker, properly sized, and used and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition. PPE will
be of design, material, and construction to protect workers from known or anticipated hazards.
In general, field personnel shall wear the following PPE when onsite:
Safety glasses with side shields or wrap-around design
Hard hat
Safety-toed boots
High-visibility vest
Gloves appropriate for the task
Additional PPE (neoprene boots, impervious gloves, Tyvek® coveralls) may be required for
specific tasks or if conditions change. Additional information is contained in Jacobs HSEPs
13.6 Eye and Face Protection, 13.3 Head Protection, 13.5 Foot Protection, and 13.4 and
Protection (all in Attachment A-6).
9.1 HEARING PROTECTION
Adequate hearing protection is required in all areas that may expose workers to high levels of
noise. This includes work areas around drill rigs and various other forms of noise-generating
equipment. Loud noises are considered to be any noise over 85 decibels. From an arm’s
length away, if you have to raise your voice to be heard, you may need hearing protection.
Hearing protection includes one or a combination of the following:
Engineering controls (where feasible)
Ear plugs
Ear muffs
-
9.2 EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection (safety glasses with side shields or wrap-around design) is required in all work
areas. Eye protection may include the following devices:
Safety glasses with side protection (basic protection; the minimum required when onsite)
Chemical goggles (splash, dust, and foreign-object protection for the eyes)
Face shields with safety glasses or goggles (splash, dust, and flying-particle protection for the whole face)
Additional details and types of eye protection are described in Jacobs HSEP 13.6 Eye and
Face Protection and may be needed for unanticipated tasks (e.g., welding).
Fogging is a known problem of eye protection that is exacerbated by cold weather. Mitigation
measures include applying an anti-fog treatment to the lenses or shield and selecting safety
glasses that provide maximal ventilation while still meeting industry standards.
9.3 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Clothing sufficient to protect workers from contact with substances such as petroleum or heat
and cold is required. When gross contamination is encountered (i.e., during drilling and
sampling), clothing required for preventing contact with hazardous substances may include
the following items:
Rain gear or Tyvek® coveralls (poly-coated for liquid contact)
Neoprene boots or poly-coated Tyvek® booties
Nitrile gloves, nitrile gloves over cotton gloves, or leather gloves over nitrile gloves
Cut-resistant gloves (e.g., when using a self-retracting utility knife or handling opened core sleeves)
Additional details and types of hand protection are described in Jacobs HSEP 13.4 Hand
Protection.
Hands are difficult to keep warm when working in extremely cold weather. Mitigation
measures include engineering controls to create a warmer workspace (e.g., portable shelters

-
with heaters), the use of chemical heating packs inside gloves (and boots), and taking warm-
up breaks as necessary to maintain dexterity.
9.4 LEVELS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Activities at SS67 and WP45/SS57 will most likely be conducted using modified Level D
protection. Level C may be used if action levels are exceeded (Table 8-1), but this is highly
unlikely. If air monitoring results indicate that Level B or higher is needed, then the work
procedures will be re-evaluated and modified to reduce exposure before continuing.
9.4.1 Modified Level D
Modified Level D PPE will be used for most fieldwork conducted for this project. A work
uniform affording minimal contaminant protection is needed, for nuisance levels only. The
following constitute modified Level D equipment and may be used as appropriate:
Work clothes (e.g. coveralls)
Task-appropriate gloves
Safety-toe boots
Boots, outer, chemical-resistant (disposable) (optional, as applicable)
Boot-covers, outer, chemical-resistant (disposable) (optional, as applicable)
Safety glasses with side protection (chemical splash goggles or face shield as applicable)
Hard hat
High-visibility outer wear (vest or jacket)
Bug jacket (optional, for summer work in vegetated areas)
Escape mask (optional, as applicable)
Additionally, workers’ clothing will need to provide adequate protection from cold during
winter work.
9.4.2 Level C
Level C PPE is not anticipated to be required during this field effort but may be used at the
discretion of the SSHO or if action levels (Table 8-1) are exceeded. Level C is appropriate
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 9-3 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
when the concentration(s) and type(s) of airborne substance(s) are known and the criteria for
using air purifying respirators are met. The following equipment added to the modified
Level D ensemble constitutes Level C PPE:
Full-face or half-mask air-purifying respirator (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health [NIOSH]-approved) with cartridges appropriate for the contaminants encountered
Hooded chemical-resistant clothing (overalls, two-piece chemical-splash suit, disposable chemical-resistant overalls) (optional, as applicable)
Gloves, outer, chemical-resistant (optional, as applicable)
Gloves, inner, chemical-resistant (optional, as applicable)

10.0 SITE CONTROL
10.1 SITE CONTROL PROCEDURES
Site controls will be implemented as described in HSEP 7.3.2 Site Controls (Attachment A-6).
Effective site control procedures will reduce the potential exposure of the project team, other
workers in the vicinity, and the surrounding environment to onsite hazards through measures
such as:
Limiting site access only to essential personnel;
Establishing work zones within the site;
Conducting operations in a manner that minimizes the exposure of personnel and equipment and eliminates the potential for off-site dispersion; and
Establishing decontamination procedures for personnel and equipment.
10.2 WORK ZONES
Clearly delineated work zones help ensure that:
Site personnel are adequately protected from existing hazards;
Specific activities and hazards are confined to the appropriate areas; and
Personnel can be accurately and quickly located and evacuated during an emergency.
Personnel will use HSEP 7.3.2 Site Controls as a guideline when establishing work zones;
vehicles will be arranged to provide efficient evacuation due to wildlife or other emergencies.
10.3 BUDDY SYSTEM
Jacobs’ policy is that all site work will be performed using the buddy system. Team members
will keep in visual contact with each other at all times. The buddy must be capable of
executing the following tasks:
Assisting his/her partner
Monitoring the partner for signs of chemical or other exposures (e.g., heat or cold)
Periodically verifying the integrity of the partner’s PPE
-
Notifying the SSHO when emergency help is needed
Keeping the SM informed of location and expected time of return
10.4 COMMUNICATIONS
Verbal communication at the sites could be impaired by onsite background noise caused by
heavy equipment and the use of PPE. Hand signals will be established and communicated to
personnel. Communication with off-site personnel will be via cell phone.
10.5 SITE SAFETY AND SECURITY
Site security is essential to prevent unauthorized, unprotected, or unqualified people from
being exposed to site hazards and protect established and safe working procedures. Site safety
and security will be maintained by ensuring that any visitors to the site sign the visitors log
and are given a site-specific briefing, and stopping work immediately if unauthorized
personnel attempt to or succeed in accessing the work area. In this case, the worker shall
notify the SSHO, SM, and PM immediately.
10.6 EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE DECONTAMINATION
Equipment used onsite will undergo decontamination prior to leaving the site to eliminate
contaminant migration from the site as well as the potential for cross-contamination of sites.
Gross decontamination includes the removal of potentially contaminated materials by use of a
shovel or other hand tools and stiff bristle brushes for equipment contaminated by soil and by
wiping visible contamination from equipment contaminated by water or free product.
Materials removed during gross decontamination will be accumulated and managed with
similar waste streams.
Equipment used onsite will be completely decontaminated before it is moved to another site
and prior to its return, before it is used in another well, or when it is no longer required onsite.
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 10-2 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
10.7 PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION
Decontamination protects workers, the public, and the environment by limiting exposure to
harmful substances and preventing the spread of contamination. At areas where an exclusion
zone is necessary, all personnel exiting the exclusion zone will follow decontamination
procedures. Under no circumstances (except emergency evacuation) will personnel be
allowed to leave the exclusion zone before decontamination. The SM or PM may approve
simplification of the procedures in the field when a determination has been made that
adequate decontamination can be achieved with less effort.
Decontamination procedures for the sites are as follows:
1. Wipe gross contamination off clothes and equipment. 2. Scrub boots and gloves in decontamination solution or detergent water, if necessary. 3. Step across to the next station and remove coveralls and gloves. Deposit in container with
plastic liner. Remove coveralls (if applicable) after gloves.
4. Remove respirator and avoid touching face with fingers (if applicable). 5. Wash hands and face thoroughly.
10.8 WASTE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL
Disposal of all wastes will be in accordance with state and federal requirements, as specified
in the site-specific supplemental work plans (AFCEC 2012a and 2012b).

11.0 INSPECTIONS
11.1 SITE INSPECTIONS / SAFETY EVALUATION
The SSHO and site personnel will inspect the site daily for conditions that may vary from
those expected in the SPAs. Changes will be addressed by amending the applicable SPA. Any
changes should be reviewed with the SM and site personnel.
11.2 EQUIPMENT INSPECTIONS
Any machinery or mechanized equipment shall be inspected and tested by a competent person
to ensure that it is in safe operating condition prior to use at the site. Inspections and tests will
be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and documented.
Records of tests and inspections will be maintained at the project office. Jacobs’ Standard
Equipment Inspection Form (Attachment A-5, Exhibit 14) will be used to document the
inspections.
11.2.1 Vehicle Inspections
Motor vehicles owned or rented by Jacobs or subcontractors will be inspected prior to use.
Deficiencies found during the inspection will be noted and corrected prior to equipment use.
Attachment A-5, Exhibit 13 contains a rental vehicle inspection form. Vehicles that cannot be
brought to safe operating condition will not be used. In addition to pre-use inspections, the
vehicle’s primary driver will be responsible for ensuring that scheduled and periodic
maintenance occurs to maintain safe operable condition. At no time will anyone operate a
vehicle believed to be unsafe. The vehicle should be equipped with safety equipment
including the following items:
Portable eyewash bottles
First-aid kit
Type A-B-C fire extinguisher
-
11.2.2 Daily/Shift Inspections and Tests
Machinery and equipment shall be inspected daily (when in use) to ensure safe operating
conditions as described below:
Tests shall be conducted at the beginning of each shift during which equipment is to be used to determine that brakes and operating systems are in proper working condition and that required safety devices are in place and functional.
Whenever any machinery or equipment is found to be unsafe, or when a deficiency affecting the safe operation of equipment is observed, the equipment shall be immediately taken out of service and its use prohibited until unsafe conditions have been corrected.
A tag indicating that the equipment shall not be operated and that the tag shall not be removed will be placed in a conspicuous location on the equipment. Where required, lockout/tagout procedures will be followed.
The tag shall remain in its attached location until it is demonstrated to the individual who found the equipment unsafe that the equipment is safe to operate.
When deficiencies are corrected, the machinery or equipment will be re-tested and re-inspected before being returned to service.
11.3 SAFETY OBSERVATION REPORTS
Site personnel, not just the SSHO, will complete an SOR form (Attachment A-5, Exhibit 19)
when real or potential unsafe acts or unsafe conditions have been identified. The success of
this program increases when SORs completed by non-HSE specialists exceed those completed
by HSE specialists. This ensures that all personnel are developing safety-conscious attitudes.
SORs will not be used for disciplinary purposes because they are intended to help
communicate unsafe acts or conditions.
SORs shall also be used to encourage and reward safe behavior. Providing positive
reinforcement of a job or task well-executed is far more encouraging than recognizing unsafe
behavior. Encouragement can be rewarding for the whole project, enticing the team to create a
better and healthier work environment. Additionally, SORs can be used to communicate a
better way of performing a task.
Any corrective measures shall be documented on the SOR form.
I:\AE-HTRW\TO07-Eielson RI\WP\SSHP\SSHP Eielson RI.doc 11-2 HTRW-J07-05F45701-J10-0002 FINAL 11/7/2012
-
SORs shall be submitted to the SSHO within 24 hours of completion. Completed forms will
be maintained with project records and a copy or record of SORs will be forwarded to the
Jacobs Anchorage HSE Group weekly.
11.4 SAFE PLAN OF ACTION ASSESSMENT
Management and HSE personnel will routinely monitor and assess the development and
implementation of SPAs. This assessment will be made using the SPA assessment form
(Attachment A-5, Exhibit 18) or other means that achieves the same result. The monitoring
and assessment will be based on three criteria:
Relative risks and activities, (e.g., working in extreme temperatures, confined space entry, lockout/tagout work)
Complexity of the task
Locations and varieties of tasks

The following visual hand signals will be used:
Clutching throat = Personal distress
Arm waving and pointing towards the exit direction = Evacuate the area
When calling for an emergency response, by cell phone, report the following information:
Your name
Your company’s name
Type of emergency and perceived severity
Location of accident or injury
-
Time of incident
Type of first-aid or response being given
DO NOT HANG UP until the operator or emergency dispatcher has received the complete
information and directs you to hang up.
Notify the SSHO or SM and your supervisor immediately after hanging up the phone. Further
information or assistance may be needed from you to complete the accident investigation
process.
12.3 EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT
Should a person become injured and require treatment beyond onsite first-aid, an
Authorization for Medical Treatment form (Attachment A-5, Exhibit 7) will be taken to the
medical facility treating the employee. The SM and/or SSHO will complete the top portion of
the form, and the doctor at the medical facility will complete the bottom portion of the form.
12.4 INCIDENT AND ACCIDENT REPORTING
The SM and SSHO will be notified promptly of any accidents. After ensuring that any injured
personnel are receiving proper medical treatment and that such treatment has been duly
authorized (Section 12.3, above), the SM will notify the HSM and the PM as soon as possible
that an incident or accident has occurred. The PM will notify the client immediately in the
event of a fatality, personnel admitted to a hospital, or property damage in any amount.
The SM will provide the following information as it becomes available:
Project name and number
The location and circumstances of the accident
Name and employer of any victims, and nature and extent of their injuries
The name and address of the medical facility providing treatment
The name of the attending physician or other medical professional

-
In the aftermath of an incident or accident, the SM in consultation with the HSM and PM will
determine whether there is a need for drug testing of any of the involved personnel. The SM
will ensure that steps have been taken to secure the scene with no movement of material or
equipment until the onsite portion of the investigation (photos, sketches, and measurements)
is complete, and obtain signed statements from all witnesses.
For accidents involving vehicles and heavy equipment, procedures in HSEP 5.2 Vehicle
Accident (in Attachment A-6) shall be followed and a Vehicle Accident Report will be
completed (Attachment A-5, Exhibit 12). For other accidents, use the Accident/Incident
Investigation Report form (Attachment A-5, Exhibit 11). The accident investigation will be
conducted in accordance with HSEP 5.1 Accident and Incidents Investigation and Reporting
(in Attachment A-6).
Daily records of all first-aid treatments not otherwise reportable will be maintained on the
first-aid register and furnished to the HSM weekly.
12.5 EXPOSURE TO BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
The following procedures will be implemented when a potential exposure to bloodborne
pathogens occurs:
The SSHO will be notified immediately whenever a first-aid incident occurs.
If the SSHO determines that a potential exposure occurred, the SSHO will provide a report to the HSM and the PM that includes:
- A description of the incident, including date and time.
- Names of all first-aid providers who rendered assistance and a description of the type of barrier used by each.
- A summary of exposure(s) and post-exposure prophylaxis to ensure that proper post-exposure evaluation occurred and that follow-up procedures were made immediately available (a Jacobs policy requirement).
The report will be recorded on the first-aid register.
12.6 EARTHQUAKE
