• ANSI-approved safety boots
ANSI—approved Eye protection — safety glasses or goggles
ANSI-approved Hard hat with bill facing forward
Tyvek coveralls with head cover (Two layers Tyvek or equivalent)
Water-resistant overboots which are treaded to provide slip protection
NOTE: If air sampling data proves that the level of asbestos and COPCs are consistently below the action
level, respiratory protection may be downgraded to an appropriate level of protection.
Hearing protection (as necessary)
2.5.4 Level A PPE
Use of this type of PPE is not anticipated at this site. Should work conditions and
personnel sampling exceed action levels for a PPE upgrade to Level A, operations shall
cease in that area until site conditions can be re-evaluated by the Contractor and the
Environmental Consultant's CIH.
2.6 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
The requirements for PPE on this job may be refined and changed to address the
conditions identified when tasks are performed. The Subcontractors will work with the
Contractor to ensure the proper PPE is maintained and available on-site at all times, and
that personnel are trained to use the PPE and understand the procedures and practices for
the safe and effective use of PPE. The Subcontractors will provide the required PPE for
their employees.
The PPE requirements presented in this HASP are the minimally acceptable for the
specified activity. Subcontractors can make individual decisions to upgrade the
equipment requirements for each PPE level to ensure the hazards presented by an activity
are controlled and exposure is minimized. Engineering and administrative controls will
be identified and implemented for each activity prior to use of PPE.
2.6.1 Respiratory Protection Program
Respiratory protection is required whenever work is performed inside the building to
protect the workers from exposures to contaminants, primarily asbestos, which may be
present. Half-face negative pressure air purify respiration particulate filters that are
HEPA or P100 shall be required during work preparation activities (i.e. installation of
isolation barriers) and PAPR will be used during other Phase I activities, unless Level B
is required. Environmental Consultant's CIH or qualified subcontractor III personnel will
• evaluate the need for additional protection such as adding organic vapor cartridges based
on their respiratory protection programs and chemicals they may be using. The following
