  3. Field Safety for Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) Field Work- Work activities occurring outside of the typical office, indoor meeting room or conference room setting. Purpose- To protect employees from physical, biological, and chemical hazards on the job by establishing work place practices that reduce the risk from exposure to such hazards.

  25. Sampling at a manhole

  26. Portable Gas Monitor • Oxygen concentration • Explosive Level • Toxic concentration • Carbon monoxide concentration

  27. Portable Gas Monitor • Calibration • Auto calibration demonstration • Manufacturer’s recommendation

  28. Portable Gas Monitor • Check the concentrations of gases in your breathing space

  29. Field Safety for Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) Facility Inspections- Become as knowledgeable as possible about the facility’s past and current site conditions. • Hazards Awareness- review files, facility’s written safety and workers right to know program, types of equipment on site, chemicals stored on site, physical condition of site. Arrange to tour the facility with someone who is familiar with the site. • Expect the unexpected – Hilo, horns, noise, etc.

  30. Facility Inspection Be sure you are knowledgeable about the chemicals stored or in use and their major hazards.

  31. Facility Inspection Be sure you are knowledgeable about the chemicals stored or in use and their major hazards.

  32. Facility Inspection Be sure you are knowledgeable about the chemicals stored or in use and their major hazards.

  33. Facility Inspection • Unsafe During the walk through use care on both stairs and ladders

  35. Facility Inspection Confined Space – do not enter unless trained as; supervisor, attendant, or entrant, and following procedures. • Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and performed assigned work • Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit • Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy

  36. Facility Inspection Confined Space – Permit Required Confined Space • Contains, or has the potential to contain a hazardous substance • Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant (corn in silo). • Has an internal configuration such that , an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section (water tower) • Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard

  37. Facility Inspection Confined Space – Non-Permit Required Confined Space • A confined space that does not contain, or with respect to atmospheric hazard, have the potential to contain any hazard capable of causing death or serious physical harm.

  38. Facility Inspection Confined Space –An industrial user should not have an IPP monitor manhole/provision in a confined space. Put language in your Sewer Use Ordinance to prohibit this.

  39. Field Safety for Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) Other types of representative sampling that IPP Personnel may have to sample. Such as Sanitary Sewer Overflows.
