Attachment B -3 <br />■ First Aid Kit <br />■ Portable Eyewash Unit <br />■ Potable Water Supply <br />5. Employees and Personal Protective Equipment <br />5.1 Sorters and Work Zones <br />Based upon the amount of hazardous safety training and responsibility assumed for the <br />study, various tasks have been assigned to staff. <br />5.2 Site Supervisor <br />The Site Supervisor is the site safety officer and the emergency coordinator. The Site <br />Supervisor will be overseeing the entire work area and will be responsible for <br />presorting the material samples for hazards before the sample is categorized by the <br />sorters. The sorters may not approach the areas where unexamined samples are being <br />stored or examined. In the event of a spill of hazardous material from a sample, the <br />supervisor is responsible for cleanup of the spill or for calling the appropriate <br />authorities. <br />5.3 Assistant Supervisor <br />The Assistant Supervisor will assist the Site Supervisor as necessary. The focus of the <br />Assistance Supervisor's role is to facilitate the sorting process for the sorting crew. <br />5.4 Sorters <br />Sorters will sort and categorize the materials being sampled. In order to make the job <br />as comfortable and safe as possible, a number of procedures and work locations will <br />be defined. The materials will have been presorted by the Site Supervisor or Assistant <br />Supervisor to remove the hazardous, household hazardous, and infectious waste, and <br />the sorters will be limited to working only in the vicinity of the sort tables and taking <br />breaks in a predetermined area. <br />5.5 Need for Personal Protective Clothing <br />Recyclable materials are not likely to contain hazardous or infectious wastes. <br />However, hazardous items and substances may be encountered in close range, picked <br />up by hand, or may have leaked from a broken container and mixed with the <br />recyclable materials. These conditions could result in situations which could be <br />hazardous to the health of the sorters conducting the study. For these reasons, it will <br />be necessary for each sorter to wear the personal protective clothing that will be <br />provided. This protective clothing is listed below. <br />■ Hard hats and liners in the winter <br />2 B1605 <br />
