Hazardous Waste Operations
HAZWOPER
Issue Date: 10/16/23
Revision Date: 10/16/23
Reference: A-8
When a different type of operation is initiated (e.g., drum opening as opposed to exploratory
well drilling.)
When workers are handling leaking drums or containers or working in areas with obvious liquid
contamination (e.g., a spill or lagoon.)
Following the start of the actual clean-up phase of any hazardous waste operation (for example,
when soil, surface water or containers are moved or disturbed), the Company shall monitor
workers who are likely to have the highest exposures to any hazardous substances and health
hazards that may be present above permissible exposure limits, or published exposure levels.
This monitoring shall be performed using personal sampling frequently enough to characterize
worker exposures.
The Company may utilize a representative sampling approach by documenting that the workers
and chemicals chosen for monitoring are based on the criteria stated in Item v) immediately
above. If the workers likely to have the highest exposure are over permissible exposure limits or
published exposure limits, then monitoring shall continue to determine all workers likely to be
above those limits. The Company may utilize a representative sampling approach by
documenting that the workers and chemicals chosen for monitoring are based on the criteria
stated above.
The Company shall develop and implement a program component to inform workers,
contractors, and subcontractors (or their representative) engaged in hazardous waste operations
of the nature, level, and degree of exposure likely as a result of participation in such hazardous
waste operations.
Workers, contractors, and subcontractors working outside of the operations part of a site are not
covered by this program.
Policies and Procedures for Decontamination
Procedures for all phases of decontamination shall be developed and implemented by The Company for each
hazardous waste work location.
Decontamination procedures for the job site shall be communicated to workers and implemented before
personnel or equipment enters areas where there is a potential for exposure to hazardous substances.
Site-specific standard operating procedures shall be developed and utilized to minimize worker contact with
hazardous substances, or with equipment that has contacted hazardous substances.
All workers and personnel leaving a contaminated area shall be decontaminated in accordance with The
Company and regulatory safety and health requirements. All contaminated clothing and equipment leaving a
contaminated area shall be appropriately disposed of or decontaminated.
Decontamination procedures shall be monitored by the designated site safety representative and/or site
superintendent, with ongoing review by the safety coordinator. This monitoring is intended to determine the
