(d) Site control plan:
An up-to-date site control plan before clean-up operations begin to minimize employee exposure to hazardous substances and including the following (unless it's available in another document):
(i) A site map.
(ii) Establish site work zones.
(iii) How the "buddy system" is used.
(iv) The site communications plan, including how employees are alerted during emergencies.
(v) The site's standard operating procedures (SOPs) or safe work practices.
(vi) Identification of the nearest medical assistance.
(e) Personal protective equipment:
A PPE plan that addresses all of the following:
(i) Site hazards and activities.
(ii) Methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the PPE plan.
(iii) Criteria for selecting and fitting PPE, including work duration, use limitations of particular PPE, and medical considerations such as temperature extremes and heat stress.
(iv) Training on PPE use.
(v) Procedures for putting on and taking off PPE.
(vi) PPE inspection procedures prior to, during, and after use.
(vii) Decontamination and disposal of PPE.
(viii) Maintenance and storage of PPE.
(f) Additional elements:
(i) A sampling and monitoring plan (see WAC
296-843-130) that includes sampling of drums and containers.
(iii) Decontamination procedures (see WAC
296-843-150).
(iv) Spill containment plans (see WAC
296-843-180 Drum and container handling).
(v) Standard operating procedures for sampling, managing, and handling drums and containers (see WAC
296-843-180).
(vi) Entry procedures for tanks or vaults (see chapter
296-809 WAC, Confined spaces).
(vii) A training, briefings, and information plan (see WAC

296-843-210), that includes site-specific medical surveillance requirements.
(xi) Excavations (see chapter
296-155 WAC, Part N, Excavation, trenching and shoring).
(xii) Any relationship or interaction between other programs and the site-specific program.
Note: | The emergency response plan required by WAC 296-843-160 Emergency response for hazardous waste sites, is also included as a separate section in the HASP. |
(2) You must keep a copy of your HASP on site.
