SITE MAP^V I


The Kishwaukee River bordering the southern and westernportions of the site is the dominant hydrological feature ofthe area. The site consists of former gravel pits of whichone was utilized for disposal of various wastes. Severalponds still exist on the site to the east and north of thewaste disposal area. In general, the landfill extends towithin approximately 700 feet of the Kishwaukee River.There is an operating gravel pit on the north side of theproperty, and portions of the property not affected bylandfilling operations contain park roads and trails open tothe public. The landfill is covered and supports secondaryvegetative growth.

The Belvidere/Municipal #1 Landfill was operated by the Cityof Belyidere from 1939 to 1965. It is believed that onlymunicipal wastes were deposited during this time. Thisoperation included open burning from November 4, 1965 toJanuary, 1971, the City contracted Rockford DisposalService, Inc. to operate the landfill. The landfill wasoperated by Browning-Ferris Industries of Rockford, Inc.from January 1971 to September 15, 1973. It is suspectedthat industrial wastes we.re deposited subsequent to 1965.Information ""gathered during "an IEPA Survey indicated thatthe landfill waste materials vary from 18 to 23 feet inthickness. Inspections by the Illinois EPA report that thelandfill was operating in compliance up until 1970. Afterthis time, numerous violations were sited including:unconfined dumping, inadequate spreading and compacting,blowing litter, stock piling and burning of trees and brush,poor roads, over-filling the site, improper unloading, nosanitary facilities or equipment building, no accessrestrictions, smoldering underground fires (9/71 and 3/73),and leachate flows.

Special wastes deposited into the landfill include sewagesludge from the City of Belvidere Sewage Treatment Plan andpaint/oil sludges from the Belvidere Chrysler Plant whichbegan operation in 1964. In 1971, 100 tons of waste per daywere being deposited even though the Solid Waste DisposalPermit Application by the City of Belvidere indicated that52 tons of waste per day were to be deposited at thelandfill. A hydrogeologic investigation by the IEPA hasreconstructed the development of the Belvidere/Municipal #1Landfill using aerial photographs. The area of most concernis the area of the landfill that was operating from1967-1974. This affected approximately 3.8 acres at thewestern most edge of the actual landfill. Figure 1-3 showsthe suspected location of hazardous waste disposal at thelandfill.

1.3 CHEMICAL HAZARDS

There have been two studies to date on the site. In 1978,the IEPA installed three leachate wells and 10 groundwater

monitoring wells. Results of analyses of leachate,groundwater, and surface water from 1978 through 1980 arepresented in Appendix A.

Additional data was presented by CH2M Hill in 1984,specifically information concerning organic concentration.This data is also included in Appendix A.

Based on well water analyses and types of wastes disposed ofat the site, the hazards associated with inorganic andorganic constituents are discussed in chemical data sheetsincluded in Appendix B as attachments to the Work LocationPersonnel Protection and Safety Evaluation Form (WLPPSEF).

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTED SITE ACTIVITIES

Projected activities within the Remedial Investigation willbe implemented in three phases commencing in November 1985and extending into November 1986. Initial on-site work willinclude development of three detailed maps.

The first active on-site data gathering effort will begeophysical studies undertaken through the coordinatedefforts of the IEPA and WESTON. Objectives of thegeophysical studies are multiple with the primary emphasisto evaluate site stratigraphy, depth to bedrock, volume andextent of the landfill, and to determine the extent ofgroundwater contamination.

Following completion of the geophysical surveys, review ofthe data and plotting of subsurface materials, the RI phasewill shift to waste characterization and qualification andsite investigation. The site investigation methods willinclude the sampling and analyses from the following media:

o Groundwater in 26 newly installed stainless steelgroundwater monitoring wells

o Drinking water in 10 private water supply wells

o River water and sediment

o Leachate and stained surface soil

o Pond water and sediment

o Fish and invertebrates

1.5 SITE HEALTH AND SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Site Health and Safety Coordinator and SafetyTechnician(s) have primary responsibility for .implementingand monitoring site health and safety related activities.


Site Health and Safety Coordinator (SHSC1

The SHSC is responsible for daily supervision anddocumentation of all safety, decontamination, environmentalmonitoring and field medical monitoring activities. TheSHSC is responsible for assuring that all field personnelcomply with the provisions of this HSP. The SHSC has theauthority to stop site work in the event of safetyviolations or if he/she makes the judgment that an upgradedlevel of personnel protection may be required. The SHSC hasthe ultimate responsibility to stop any operation thatthreatens the health or safety of the field investigationteam or surrounding populace. The SHSC is furtherresponsible for designating and marking restricted areasduring various site activities and for redesignating theseareas as unrestricted when it is appropriate to do so.

Safety Technician

A Safety Technician (ST) may be appointed full time or maybe designated by the SHSC on a part-time basis. The SafetyTechnician will aid the SHSC in supplies acquisition,inventory control, equipment maintenance, other health andsafety matters, decontamination activities, field medicalmonitoring and documentation. The Safety Technician willreport directly to the SHSC in health and safety relatedduties and will assume the responsibilities of the SHSC inthe event of his/her absence from the site or in anemergency situation involving the SHSC.


2.0 FIELD HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES

2.1 GENERAL WORK RULES

Field work will be conducted only during daylight hoursunless adequate lighting is provided. The "buddy11 systemwill be observed at all times when site personnel arerequired to wear respiratory protection.

Entry and exit into the continuous work area, exclusionzones, and contamination reduction zone will be permittedonly through designated access points, except during anemergency or as authorized by the SHSC. Personnel enteringthe exclusion zone must be wearing the required minimumprotective clothing as specified in Section 2.4 and theymust exit these areas via the Decontamination Station.

Eating, drinking, chewing gum or tabacco, smoking, or anypractice that increases the probability of hand-to-mouthtransfer and ingestion of material is prohibited 'in any areadesignated contaminated. Contact lenses may not be worn inexclusion zones. All field personnel requiring correctivelenses must provide their own prescription glasses andlenses that may be fitted in to the respiratory masks.

Hands and face must be thoroughly washed upon leaving thework area and before eating, drinking, or any otheractivities. The entire body should be thoroughly washed assoon as possible after leaving the site.

No excessive facial hair, which interferes with asatisfactory fit of the mask-to-face seal, is allowed onpersonnel required to wear respiratory protective equipment.The SHSC will determine if facial hair presents such aninterference.

Contact with contaminated or suspected contaminated surfacesshould be avoided. Personnel will be instructed not to walkthrough puddles, mud, and other discolored surfaces; kneelon ground; lean, sit, or place equipment on drums,containers, vehicles, or the ground whenever possible.

All personnel assigned for on-site activities must beadequately trained and thoroughly briefed on anticipatedhazards, equipment to be worn, safety practices to befollowed, emergency procedures, and communications.

All field activities will comply with OSHA 29CFR1926/1910Safety and Health Standards for the Constructive Industry.Frequent and regular inspections of the site, materials andequipment will be made by a competent person to verifycompliance with Subpart C (29CFR1926.20) General Safety andHealth Provisions. In addition, all electrical


installations shall be in accordance with the NationalElectrical Code (NEC, NFPA 70) and with OSHA 29CFR1926.400Subpart K.

2.2 HEALTH. SAFETY AND MEDICAL MONITORING PROGRAMS

All personnel including subcontractors who will be workingat the Belvidere site must conform to WESTON health andsafety policy which requires satisfactory completion ofhealth and safety training and be enrolled in a medicalmonitoring program.

The health and safety training program provides informationand training necessary for project personnel to undertakeactivities at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Thisinformation is generally provided in the WESTON five daytraining courses.

The intent of medical monitoring program is to monitor thehealth of individual project personnel through the use ofpreplacement and periodic medical examination. This programprovides:

o Establishment of a baseline condition againstwhich any future changes in health and physicalwell being can be evaluated.

o Identify any underlying illness or conditionswhich might be aggravated by certain exposures atthe job site.

o Recognize any abnormalities, toxic reactions orother changes at the earliest opportunity so thatappropriate corrective measures may be taken.

2.3 WORK ZONE DEFINITION

The Belvidere landfill site may be broadly classified as aLevel D or C site depending upon the field activity withcontingency to both up and downgrade level of protectiondepending upon the site activity and real time monitoringdata. The site boundary will serve as the "hot line" andthereby define the exclusion zone.

The site will have three distinct working zones — theexclusion zone, contaminant reduction zone and support zone.The decontamination station will include facilities forpersonnel and sampling equipment decontamination and agravel washdown pad for decontamination of drilling rig andother contaminated vehicles. These are further discussed inSection 2.5.


2.3.1 Exclusion Zone

The entire area within the Belvidere landfill site boundary(Figure 2-1) will be considered the exclusion zone.Movement into or out of the exclusion zone by personnel andequipment will be strictly controlled by SHSC. Personnelentering this zone will wear protective equipment asdiscussed in Section 2.4. Personnel and equipment exitingthis zone must be decontaminated in accordance with theprocedures described in Section 2.5. Drill cuttings andgroundwater accumulated during drilling and groundwatersampling activities will be left adjacent to the borehole.

2.3.2 Contaminant Reduction Zone

A contaminant reduction zone will be provided adjacent tothe exclusion zone and provides transition between exclusionand support zones. Decontamination of personnel andequipment exiting the exclusion zone will be performed inthis area as shown in Figure 2-2 prior to entering thesupport zone. Entering the support zone will requireremoval of any protective equipment worn in thecontamination reduction zone.

2.3.3 Support Zone

The support zone is considered a non-contaminated or cleanarea outside and adjacent to the contamination reductionzone as shown in Figure 2-1. All support equipment arelocated in this zone. Normal work clothes are appropriatefor this zone and for this reason contaminated clothing andequipment are not permitted in this zone.

2.4 PERSONNEL PROTECTION PROCEDURES

Personnel protection procedures are established in the HSPto ensure that all field personnel wear the necessaryprotective equipment to minimize exposure to thecontaminants present at the site. This section discusses indetail the anticipated levels of protection and thenecessary equipment to be worn by field personnel forvarious field activities.

2.4.1 Levels of Protection

Levels of protection to be used for the Belvidere landfillsite varies depending upon the nature of field activities.The levels of protection for various site activities aresummarized in Table 2-1. The levels of protectionidentified in Table 2-1 is based on the current knowledge ofthe waste types disposed of at the site. For each activity,a contingency level of protection is provided to upgrade the

existing level of protection based on field monitoring data.The level of protection may be downgraded by SHSC afterdiscussion with the WESTON Corporate Health and SafetyOfficer or Project Manager. As shown in Table 2-1 Level Aor B protection is not anticipated for any field activitiesassociated with this site. The probable locations forvarious field sampling activities are shown in Figure 2-1.

The criteria that will be used for determining the level ofprotection and the associated equipment needs are discussedbelow.

Level D

Level D protection will be used during geophysical surveys,river water/sediment and private well sampling. Level Dprotection will also be initially used during monitoringwell installation, pond sediment/water, natural soil boring,waste boring, leachate seep and sediment sampling, andground water sampling (with provision to upgrade to Level Cif warranted). Level D is also the minimum protection levelfor safety technician assisting in decontaminationoperation. Level D protective clothing should be taped atthe wrists and ankles.

The criteria and equipment required for Level D protectionis presented in Table 2-2.

Level C

The contingency to upgrade the level of protection from D toC has been provided for various field activities asidentified in Table 2-1. Level C protective clothing shouldbe taped at the wrists and ankles.

The criteria and equipment required for Level C protectionare presented in Table 2-3.

2.4.2 On-Site Medical Monitoring

On-site medical monitoring will be implemented by SHSC inthe event that hot or cold weather poses a threat of heatstress or hypothermia. Such monitoring will includemeasurement of pulse, blood pressure and temperature. Pulseand blood pressure will be monitored by a portable meterwith digital readout. This will be done prior tocommencement of work and prior to rest periods. Temperaturewill also be taken at the same time pulse and blood pressureare taken. The purpose of this monitoring is to ensure thatproject personnel are not unduly affected by workingconditions at the site. These measurements serve to detect

The basic purpose of heatstress monitoring and effects of heat stress and effects ofexposure to cold weather are presented in Appendix C. Thisinformation is taken from the "Interim Standard OperatingSafety Guides" revised in 1982 and prepared by the Office ofEmergency and Remedial Response, Hazardous Response SupportDivision.

2.5 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES

Proper decontamination of all personnel, sampling equipmentand vehicles that are exposed to any form of contaminationwhile working at the site is required. To ensure this,decontamination facilities will be set up on thecontamination reduction zone between the exclusion andsupport zones. The decontamination facility for vehicleswill consist of a gravel pad located adjacent to thepersonnel and sampling decontamination facility.

2.5.1 Personnel and Sampling Equipment

The personnel decontamination line is illustrated in Figure2-2 and includes outer boot removal, outer glove wash andremoval, and hand wash steps. All disposable safety gearwill be placed in drums upon removal. Drums will besecurely closed when filled and placed in a locked BooneCounty Conservation District storage garage. Thesematerials will be temporarily stored and subsequentlydisposed of in an acceptable manner. Detergent will be usedfor washing of boots, outer glove and hands. Thedecontamination line shown in Figure 2-2 is illustrated forLevel D protection and can easily be upgraded for higherlevels by adding a step for respirator removal prior toinner glove removal.

The equipment decontamination process is illustrated inFigure 2-3 and will be used for decontamination of pumpsused in monitoring well development, Teflon bailers used inmonitoring well sampling, equipment used to collect surfacewater and sediment samples, and the hand auger used in soilsampling. This decontamination facility will be locatedcontiguous to the personnel decontamination line. Largemetallic wash tubs will be used for the detergent was and tapwater rinse steps. Stainless steel, solvent-resistantsprayers will be used for the acetone, distilled-deionizedwater, and ultra pure (organic-free) water rinses. Theacetone sprayer will be properly marked with a "FlammableLiquid - No Smoking" warning sign. The acetone rinse andwater rinses will be collected in separate metallic tubs.

2.5.2 Vehicle

The drilling rig and other contaminated vehicles will bedecontaminated on a gravel washdown pad. The pad will beapproximately 30 square feet in area. The equipment will besteam cleaned using rented portable steam cleaningequipment.

2.6 AIR MONITORING PROCEDURES AND RESPONSE

Air monitoring will be conducted utilizing a variety oftechniques to assure adequate protection to personnelinvolved in various field activities. As a minimum, thefollowing monitoring equipment will be used at the Belvideresite:

HNu Photoionizer 10.2 ev probeHNu Photoionizer with 10.2 ev sourceHNu Calibration Gas RegulatorLudlum Radiological Survey Meter (Model 3)

M44-3 Lo Energy GAM ScinM44-6 Thinwass GM ProbeM44-9 Pancake GM Probe

Organic Vapor Analyzer (Century) and Calibration GasCombustible Gas Indicator/02 Meter

The principal air monitoring instrument will be an HNu P-101photoionization detector (PID). The PID will be calibrateddaily in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendedprocedures before use. The HNu meter will be employedduring all on-site work activities with particular emphasisapplied during the drilling activities. If deemednecessary, the SHSC will also implement monitoring oforganic gases and vapors using organic vapor analyzer (OVA)in the survey and if appropriate in gas chromatography mode.

Prior to the start of field activities, the SHSC will scanthe entire site with oxygen meter and combustible gasindicator (OGI) to determine whether any areas of the sitehave the potential to have oxygen deficient conditions orpresence of combustible gases. In addition, scan of theentire site using a radiation meter will also be made todetermine the presence of radioactive materials.Measurements for oxygen deficiency, presence of combustiblegas and radioactive materials will also be done duringmonitoring well installation and waste and soil sampling.The guidelines that will be used for employing proper levelsof protection in response to air monitoring data arepresented in Table 2-4.

The personnel protective equipment that will be used forvarious field activities are included in the WLPPSEF(Appendix B).

2.7 CONTINGENCY MEASURES

A contingency plan is required to handle any unforeseensituations that might occur at the site. These might resultfrom chemical exposure, physical injury andfire/explosion/release of toxic gases. The SHSC will set upa prearranged warning signal (e.g. hand held compressed gashorn) for use in emergency situations. Portable radios willalso be used by field personnel so that SHSC can alert fieldpersonnel immediately of impending or actually occurringemergency conditions. Emergency phone numbers are listed inpage 12 of the WLPPSEF (Appendix B) which includes fire andpolice department, ambulance service, State spillContractor, Region V EPA Environmental Response Team, U.S.Coast Guard and CHEMTREC.

All of the emergency phone numbers will be posted. Theroute to the hospital in the event any field personnel mustbe taken to the local hospital is shown in Figure 2-4. Thisroute map will also be posted. The route will be driven byall site personnel prior to initial site entry.

The response to various emergency situations are discussedin the following subsections.

2.7.1 Chemical Exposure

The SHSC will take the following actions if chemicalexposure results during on-site field activities:

a. Immediate assessment shall be made as to what typeof safety gear is necessary to enter the area todetermine how ill or injured the victim is.

b. Rescuers must check vital signs.

c. Remove victim to fresh air and resuscitate ifnecessary.

d. An ambulance will immediately be called.

e. If clothing is contaminated and the situationpermits, remove clothing and flood skin withcopious amounts of water.

f. If eyes are contaminated, irrigate immediatelywith copious amount of water for minimum of 15minutes.

Neutralization:

Toxic Information/Health Hazards: Poisoning occurs most commonlythrough Inhalation of the vapor, though benzene can penetrate the skin,and poison 1n that way. Locally, benzene has a comparatively strong1rr effect, producing erythema and burning, and. In more severe cases,edema and even blistering. Following absorption of benzene,elimination Is chiefly through the lungs, when fresh air 1s breathed.The portion that 1s absorbed Is oxidized, and the oxidation productsare combined with sulfurlc and glycuronic adds and eliminated In theurine. This may be used as a diagnostic sign. Benzene has a definitecumulative action, and exposure to relatively high cone Is not seriousfrom the point of view of causing damage to the blood-forming system,provided the exposure is not repeated. On the other hand, dailyexposure to cone of 100 ppm or less will usually cause damage Ifcontinued over a protracted period of time. There Is great Individualvariation 1n the signs and symptoms of chronic benzene poisoning.Benzene 1s a common air contaminant. Dangerous fire hazard whenexposed to heat or flame. Moderate explosion hazard when Its vaporsare exposed to flame. Use adequate ventilation. Dangerous disasterhazard, highly flammable. Fight fire with foam, COz, dry chemical.

Toluene is a colorless liquid with a typical aromatic hy-drocarbon odor. Its molecular weight and specific gravityare 92.13 and 0.866. respectively. The boiling point is110.7* C and solidifies at -95" C At 25* C. the vapor pres-sure is 28 mm Hg. The closed cup flash point is 40' F. It isinsoluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents.

Formerly derived solely from coal tar, toluene is nowobtained chiefly from petroleum, and is present in gasolineand many petroleum solvents. It is used as a solvent inpaints and coatings, for rubber, oils, resins, etc.; as a rawmaterial for the manufacture of benzene and a host ofother chemicals, including TNT, TDI, and ingredients ofdetergents, dyes and drugs.

Because of its wide industrial use and chemical similari-ty to benzene, the literature of industrial toxicology andindustrial medicine, particularly the latter, record numer-ous investigations of the toxic effects of toluene. Accord-ing to Patty"> the concentrations of toluene and benzenerequired to cause prostration of mice are apparently 3000ppm and 4700 ppm, respectively. Death from acute poison-ing results from 10,000 ppm toluene compared with 14,000ppm of benzene. Several incidents of workers being over-come by toluene vapor, usually in confined spaces, havebeen reported. Longley and co-workers'*) describe such anevent aboard ship where 26 men were overcome. Therewere no deaths or serious aftereffects. No irritation of eyesor respiratory passages was observed.

From the standpoint of chronic poisoning, toluene doesnot cause the severe injury to the bone marrow character-istic of benzene poisoning. Gerarde") stated that the my-clotoxicity of benzene was completely absent in tolueneand other alkyl derivatives of benzene. Von Oettingen eta*4> found that exposure of rats at 2500 to 5000 ppm oftoluene caused a temporary decrease in the white-cellcount, but no evidence of injury to blood-forming organsor liver. Greenburg and co-workers'1) studied a group ofpainters exposed to toluene in concentrations rangingfrom 100 to 1100 ppm. Their findings included enlargementof the liver, macrocytosis, moderate decrease in erythocytecount and absolute rymphocytosis, but no leukopenia.

Wilson'*) found that among workers exposed at lessthan 200 ppm of toluene there were some complaints ofheadache, lassitude and nausea, but physical findings wereessentially negative. At concentrations between 200 and500 ppm impairment of coordination, momentary loss ofmemory and anorexia were also present. Between 500 and1500 ppm palpitation, extreme weakness, pronounced loss

of coordination and impairment of reaction time were not-

ed. The red cell count fell in many instances, and there

were two cases of aplastk anemia, in which recovery fol-

lowed intensive hospital treatment. A later comment by

Wilson,!*) however, suggests that he did not rule out the

possibility that some of the above effects were due to a

benzene impurity in the toluene used.

According to Fairhall.* severe exposure to toluene mayresult in a pronounced drop in the red count and partialdestruction of the blood-forming elements of the bonemarrow. However, Gerarde<*> stated that extensive animalstudies dearly indicate that toluene rs not a bone marrowpoison. While there have been occasional reports of aplas-tic anemia attributed to toluene,™ in some instances thepresence of benzene was not precluded, and there havebeen no "epidemics" of this disease among toluene work-ers comparable to those which have resulted from ben-zene, Powarsna reported six cases of aplastic anemia, oneof them fatal, among glue sniffers. Although toluene wasthe solvent chiefly used, no analysis was given of the glueinvolved in the fatal case. Exposures in these cases aremuch greater than would normally arise from occupationaluse of toluene. Thus Knox and Nelsonmi described an in-stance of permanent encephalopathy involving a man whoinhaled toluene regularly for over 14 years.

Von Oettingen and co-workers<4> found that humansubjects exposed at 200 ppm suffered slight but definitechanges in muscular coordination. They concluded thatsuch concentrations were unlikely to have any discernibleuntoward effects on health. Gerarde<*> however, believedthat von Oettingen's work did not justify the 200 ppm lim-it. Ogata ef a*12* found that experimental human subjectsexposed at 200 ppm for seven hours showed prolongationof reaction time, decrease in pulse rate and in systolicblood pressure. They consider 200 ppm too high as theMAC. Takeuchif") exposed rats at 200 ppm and higher con-centrations of toluene for 32 weeks and then to benzenefor 39 days. On the basis of differences found between thetoluene-exposed animals and controls, e.g.. changes inweight of adrenal glands, he suggested that the MAC of200 ppm for toluene should be reconsidered.

Smyth er al reported an oral LD», administered to rats.to be 7.53 ml/kg.<">

On the basis of the above data, a reduction in the TLVfor toluene from 200 ppm to 100 ppm is recommended,with a STEL of 150 ppm.

Other recommendations: Cook (1945) 200 ppm; Smyth(1956) comments that this limit may permit early signs ofnarcosis; Elkins (1959) 200 ppm; ANSI (1967) 200 ppm; USSR(1967) 14 ppm; Czechoslovakia (1969) 50 ppm; West Ger-many (1974) 200 ppm; Sweden (1975) 100 ppm; East Ger-many (1973) 50 ppm; NIOSH (1973) 100 ppm.

THR: A susp hmn CARC. HIGH-MOD acute orl, ihl,skn. Also causes a chloracne. Like the chlorinatednaphthalenes, the chlorinated diphenyls have two dis-tinct actions on the body, namely, a skn effect and atoxic action on the liver. The lesion produced in theliver is an acute yellow atrophy. This hepato toxic ac-tion of the chlorinated diphenyls appears to be in-creased if there is exposure to carbon tetrachloride atthe same time. The higher the chlorine content of thediphenyl compound, the more toxic is it liable to be.Oxides of chlorinated diphenyls are more tox than theunoxidized materials. The skin lesion is known aschloracne, and consists of small pimples and dark pig-mentation of the exposed areas, initially. Later, come-dones and pustules develop. In persons who have suf-fered systematic intoxication, the usual signs andsymptoms are nausea, vomiting, loss of weight, jaun-dice, edema and abdominal pain. Where the liver dam-age has been severe the patient may pass into comaand die.

Fire Haiard: Slight, when exposed to heat or flame.Disaster Hazard: Dangerous; when heated to decomp,

HEAT STRESS AND COLD EXPOSURE

MONITORING

Heat Stress Monitoring .

For monitoring the body's recuperative ability to excess heat one ormore'of the following techniques should be used as a screeningmechanism. Monitoring; of personnel wearing Impervious clothing shouldcomence when the ambient temperature Is 70°F or above. Frequency ofmonitoring should Increase as the ambient temperature Increases or atslow recovery rates are Indicated. When temperatures exceed 85'Fworkers should be monitored for heat stress after every work period.

1. Heart rate (HR) should be measured by the radial pulse for 30seconds as' early is possible In the resting period. The HR at thebeginning of the rest period should not exceed 110 beats perminute. If the HR Is higher, the next work period should beshortened by 10 minutes (or 331), while the length of the restperiod stays the same. If the pulse rate Is 100 beats per minuteat the beginning of the next rest period, the following work cycleshould be shortened by 331.

2. Body temperature should be measured orally with a clinicalthermometer as early as possible In the resting period. Oraltemperature (OT) at the beginning of the rest period should notexceed 99*F. If It does, the next work period should be shortenedby 10 minutes (or 331), while the length of the rest period staysthe same. However, If the OT exceeds 99.7*F at the'beginning ofthe next period, the following work cycle should be furthershortened by 331. OT should be measured again at the end of therest period to make sure that 1t has dropped below 99*F.

3. Body water loss (BWL) due to sweating should be measured byweighing the worker In the morning and In the evening. Theclothing worn should be similar at both weighings; preferably theworker should be nude. The scale should be accurate to plus orminus 1/4 Ib. BWL should not exceed 1.51 of the total body weight.If 1t does, the worker should be Instructed to Increase his dallyIntake of fluids by the weight lost. Ideally, body fluids shouldbe maintained at a constant level during the work day. Thisrequires replacement of salt lost 1n sweat as well.

4. 6ood hygienic standards must be maintained by frequent change ofclothing and dally showering. Clothing should be permitted to dryduring rest periods. Persons who notice skin problems shouldImmediately consult medical personnel.

Effects of Heat Stress

If the body's physiological processes fall to maintain a normal bodytemperature because of excessive heat, a number of physical reactionscan occur ranging from mild (such as fatigue, Irritability, anxiety,and decreased concentration, dexterity, or movement) to fatal.Standard reference books should be consulted for specific treatment.

c-i

Heat-related proble** art:

- Htit Rash; caused by continuous txposurt to heat and hu>1d air and'aggravated by chafing clothes. Decreases ability to tolerate heatas well as being a nuisance.

- Heat cramps; caused by profuse perspiration with Inadequate fluidintake and cnendcal replaceoent (especially salts). Signs: Msclespasn and pain 1n the extremities and abdooen.

• Heat exhaustion; caused by Increased stress on various organs to•eet increased demands to cool the body. Signs: shallow breathing;pale, cool, moist skin; profuse sweating; dizziness and lassitude.

• Heat stroke; the most severe font of heat stress. Body mist becooled loneifiately to prevent severe Injury and/or death. Signs andsymptoms are: red, hot, dry skin; no perspiration; nausea; dizzinessand confusion; strong, rapid pulse; cow.

Effects of Cold Exposure

Persons working outdoors In temperatures at or below freezing may befrostbitten. Extreae cold for a short time may cause severe Injuryto the surface of the body, or result In profound generalizedcooling, causing death. Areas of the body which have high surface-area- to-volume ratio such as fingers, toes, and ears, are the mostsusceptible.

Two factors Influence the development of a cold Injury: ambienttenperature and the velocity of the wind. Wind chill Is used todescribe the chilling effect of moving air In combination with lowtemperature. For Instance, 10'F with a wind of 15 artles per hour .(mph) Is equivalent In chilling effect to still air at -18*F.

As a general rule, the greatest Incremental Increase In wind chilloccurs when a wind of 5 mph Increases to 10 «ph. Additionally,water conducts heat 240 tines faster than air. Thus, the body coolssuddenly when chemical-protective equipment 1s revved If theclothing underneath Is perspiration soaked.

Local Injury resulting fro* cold 1s Included 1n the generic ternfrostbite. There are several degrees of damage. Frostbite of theextremities can be categorized Into:

•

- Frost nip or Incipient frostbite; characterized by suddenlyblanching or wnitening or skin.

- Superficial frostbite: skin has a waxy or white appearance and1$ firm to the toucn, Dut tissue beneath 1$ resilient.

C-2

- Deep frostbite: tissues ere cold, pit, and solid; extremelyserious injury.

Systemic hypothermia Is caused by exposure to freezing or rapidlydropping temperature. Its symptoms are usually exhibited In fivestages: 1) shivering, I) apathy, Hstlessness. sleepiness, and(sometimes) rapid cooling of the body to less than 95*F, 3)unconsciousness, glassy stare, slow pulse, and slow respiratoryrate, 4) freezing of the extremities, and finally, 5) death.

Standard reference books should be consulted for specifictreatments.
