Moderate-High (At/Above Exposure Limits)

What the job entails.

what are the Jobs/Site Characterization

• Unknown oil or unknown hazardous substance mixed with oil
• Exposures equal or exceed exposure limits or other published limits
• Respiratory protection required
• Concentrations at or above 10 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)
• Oxygen levels ³ 19.5 <22 percent)
• Carcinogen: known or suspected
• Situations in which oil is known but parameters above cannot be reasonabily assessed

Job Function Examples

- Manual cleanup of stranded oil with potential skin carcinogens (e.g., benzo (a) pyrene)
- Cleanup of stranded oil when toxic chemicals are persistent and above exposure limits
- Wildlife capture and treatment depending on explosives
- Load and transfer piled oil-saturated decaying plants and animals that provide a hydrogen sulfide risk
- Cleanup of stranded oil in confined spaces
- On land marsh burning operations

what are the Minimum Training & Experience

• 40 hours of initial training in areas 37-43 and 3 days supervised field experience, or equivalent training certification
• At least 8 hours of annual refresher training
• Supervisory/management personnel must also receive 8 hours of additional initial training covering at a minimum areas 51-54

• Concentrations less than 10 percent, but more than the LEL
• Other significant hazards may be present: Physical, safety, ergonomic, thermal. [(e)(3)(ii)]:

Non-Recurring/Minimal Exposure risk

Job/Site Characterization
