Hazardous Material Exposure Control

DOE-STD -3009-94

8.6

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL EXPOSURE CONTROL

This section summarizes the plans and procedures for controlling: (1) occupational

exposure to hazardous materials; and (2) spread of hazardous material

8.6.1

Hazardous Material Identification Progra m

Summarize the plans and procedures the facility uses for the identification and

evaluation of material hazards, (e.g., toxicity, flammability, reactivity).

Include in this summary overall industrial hygiene programs, plans, and

procedures, and hazard elimination or control measures. Reference and

abstract any relevant site manuals detailing these programs.

8.6.2

Administrative Limits

This section summarizes facility administrative control levels and exposure

limits.

8.6.3

Occupational Medical Programs

This section summarizes the components of the occupational medical program

relevant to hazardous material protection, including physical examinations,

medical evaluations, medical surveillance (including bioassay), and medical

record keeping.

8.6.4

Respiratory Protection

This section summarizes plans and procedures for respiratory protection for

workers. Include in this summary types of respiratory protection equipment

and their usage in normal, abnormal, and accident conditions; control and

issuance of respirators (training; fitness and medical testing); inspection of

equipment (cleaning, maintenance, and repair); and documentation of

associated records. If no special distinctions exist with regard to the

respiratory protection program described in section 7.6.4, simply reference that

section

8.7

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL MONITORING

This section summarizes the hazardous material sampling and monitoring program

conducted internal and external to the facility. This summary should address

overall facility monitoring to prevent the spread of hazardous materials,

operational monitoring of workers, and monitoring and sampling for detection of

material release by airborne and other pathways (e.g., water, soil), programs for

continuing collection of relevant meteorologica l data, and records, and reports

generated in the monitoring program.
