Development of an Environmental Monitoring Program. Volume 1. Marine Hazardous Chemical Worker.
Abstract
This report describes the development of an environmental monitoring plan applied to marine industry personnel who may be potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals during their work. The goal of this plan is to minimize the worker's exposure to hazardous materials during work activities. The environmental monitoring plan includes the use of (1) safe work practices that specify how to carry out activities that involve potential exposure to hazardous materials, (2) environmental monitoring devices for measuring chemical vapor or dust concentration in the air, and (3) personal protective equipment to prevent inhalation of and skin contact with hazardous materials. The environmental monitoring plan was subjected to a trial evaluation in a series of field tests. These field tests included two job activities in which workers were potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals for (1) U.S. Coast marine inspectors and pollution prevention boarding teams, (2) merchant marine tankerman working on chemical tankerships, and (3) merchant marine tankerman working on chemical barges.
