Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-3 2. INTRODUCTION This Health, Safety, and Security Plan (HASSP) provides a general description of the levels of personal protection and safe operating guidelines expected from all personnel1 associated with Task 4 (Develop Draft Protocol for Collecting GSE Operational Data) of ACRP 02-46: Improv- ing Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Amplified Work Plan (AWP). The scope of work for this task is to conduct ground service equipment (GSE) fleet and activity surveys at __ABC Airport_______________________ (the Airport), located at __XYZ City__________________, on ______ [Sampling date; ex., 01/01/2015] ____________. The Airport site map, indicating site perimeter and survey areas as well as points of entry and exit is provided as Exhibit A-1 to this HASSP. The GSE surveys will comprise the collection of the following data: Number and type of vehicles by aircraft code; Difference between type of operations (i.e., dedicated cargo vs. passenger operations); Time in operational mode (including idling); and Gate deicing vehicles. The provisions of this HASSP are mandatory for all personnel engaged in fieldwork associated with the GSE surveys being conducted at the Airport. A copy of this HASSP shall be maintained by the Health and Safety Officer (H&SO) during the fieldwork and made available for review by all personnel at all times. Record keeping will be maintained in accordance with this HASSP and any applicable federal, state, and local regulations. 1 For the purpose of this HASSP, the term “personnel” refers to all the individuals (i.e., project manager, health and safety officer, airport escort, research team and subcontractors) involved in the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE This section of the HASSP describes lines of authority, responsibility, and communication as they pertain to health and safety functions associated with the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport. The purpose of this section is to identify the personnel who impact the development and implementation of the HASSP and to describe their roles and responsibili- ties. This section also identifies the research team and subcontractors involved in work opera- tions and establishes the lines of communication among them for safety and health matters. The organizational structure and health program is consistent with OSHA requirements in 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §1910.120(b)(2). In addition, the site H&SO has the respon- sibility and authority to develop and implement this HASSP and verify compliance; as well as the lines of authority, responsibility, and communication for safety and health functions. This section is reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect the current organizational structure of the personnel performing the fieldwork. Roles and Responsibilities All personnel should comply with the requirements of this HASSP. The specific responsibilities and authority of management, security, safety and health, and other personnel are provided in Table 1 and further identified by name and company in Table 2. Table 1 – Roles and Responsibility of Personnel Role Responsibilities Project Manager (PM) The PM has the responsibility and authority to direct all work operations. The PM coordinates safety and health functions with the Health and Safety Officer (H&SO), has the authority to oversee and monitor the performance of the H&SO, and bears ultimate responsibility for the proper implementation of this HASSP. Health and Safety Officer (H&SO) The H&SO has full responsibility and authority to develop and implement this HASSP and to verify compliance. The H&SO reports to the PM. The H&SO is on-site or readily ac- cessible to the site during all work operations and has the au- thority to halt site work if unsafe conditions are detected. Airport Escort Personnel (AEP) The AEP is responsible for escorting the research team and/or subcontractors to airport airfields and apron areas and assuring that safety and security are adhered to and that the safety of personnel is ensured at all times.

HASSP Information and Site-Specific Briefings for Personnel All personnel shall review this HASSP and will be provided a site-specific briefing by the H&SO prior to the commencement of work to ensure that all personnel engaged in fieldwork are famil- iar with this HASSP and the information and requirements it contains. Additional briefings are provided as necessary to notify personnel of any changes to this HASSP as a result of infor- mation gathered during ongoing site characterization and analysis. Conditions for which addi- tional briefings shall be scheduled include, but are not limited to: changes in site conditions, changes in the work schedule/plan, newly discovered hazards, and incidents occurring during fieldwork.

A-6 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling 4. SAFETY MEASURES ON AIRCRAFT APRONS AND AIRFIELD This section of the HASSP describes the various safety and security measures that all personnel should be aware of when performing the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport (within aircraft apron and airfield areas). It is imperative that all regulations pertaining to air- port safety and security are adhered to, and that the safety of personnel is ensured at all times. The safety and security measures within this HASSP are consistent with the requirements of FAA’s Federal Aviation Regulations (FARS) 14 CFR §107. Apron Practices All personnel will be escorted by a designated AEP when conducting fieldwork. When on the air- craft aprons, personnel must remain with their escort at a distance that continuously enables direct visual sighting and verbal communication until they have exited the Security Identifica- tion Display Area (SIDA)2. Personnel should also be aware of the common requirement that es- corts ensure all secured doorways between the SIDA, secured areas and sterile areas are com- pletely shut with locks engaged prior to leaving the area. If logistically it is required to move be- tween the apron and the sterile area to reach sampling locations, personnel should understand that it is also their responsibility to enable their escort to do so without impediment. Personnel will not encroach upon restricted apron areas and will conduct all data collection at sufficient distance from the aircraft and GSE so as not to interfere with operations. Further, as- signed personnel will, via signature of the HASSP, ensure that they understand and will abide by all pavement markings, signage, warnings and advisories necessary to ensure safe apron opera- tion, and will not engage in any activity that generates Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on the ramp. Airfield Access and Travel During fieldwork, close coordination with airport personnel and security staff will be required to ensure that personnel will be allowed to access and traverse the airfield with the equipment and supplies necessary to conduct field observations. Knowledge of the following general guidelines and best practices can be employed to facilitate airfield access and travel to the extent required for ACRP 02-46. Vehicles may be escorted into the SIDA in conjunction with an approved reason to escort and must possess a valid state registration. The escorted vehicle will be inspected before being al- lowed to enter the SIDA. Escort vehicles entering and exiting the airfield through secure access gates are required to stop and wait for the gate to close behind them, barring passage of any sub- sequent vehicles, even if the point of entry/exit is staffed by a gate security officer. It is the re- sponsibility of each individual to enable their escort to adhere to these procedures without im- pediment. 2 The SIDA is a portion of an airport, specified in the airport security program, in which security measures are carried out. This area includes the secured area and may include other areas within the airport’s perimeter boundary that require an individual to continu- ously display identification media (e.g., a badge).

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-7 Due to screening requirements, unscreened baggage cannot be carried through to the Air Opera- tions Area (AOA)3 or the SIDA via entrance through secured airfield or airport access gates. Fur- ther, field equipment bags and other vehicle items may be subject to inspection prior to being allowed airfield access. Personnel will not encroach upon restricted airfield areas or otherwise interfere with the safe movement of other vehicles and aircraft. Further, assigned personnel will, via signature of the HASSP, ensure that they understand and will abide by all pavement markings, signage, warn- ings and advisories necessary to ensure safe operation, and will not engage in any activity that generates FOD. Although the AEP is the only individual(s) permitted to drive airport vehicle(s), all other personnel are required to have an understanding of the airfield markings, signage, warnings and advisories. 5. POTENTIAL HAZARDS This section of the HASSP identifies the potential health and safety hazards associated with GSE fleet and activity surveys to be performed at the Airport, and evaluates the risks to personnel. During field observations at the Airport, there is potential for personnel to be exposed to: chem- ical, physical, and biological hazards. These are discussed in detail below. Chemical Hazards In airports the main sources of air pollution are exhaust from aircraft engines, aircraft auxiliary power units (APU), other combustion engines (e.g., vehicles, handling and loading equipment etc.), vapor emissions from refueling aircraft, and larger dust particles from brakes, tires, as- phalt, soil etc. Personnel working in close proximity to these types of sources may be exposed to a complex mixture of pollutants by incidental skin exposure, eye contact or inhalation. The main pollutants of concern can be divided into: petroleum hydrocarbons; polycyclic aro- matic hydrocarbons (PAHs); volatile organic compounds (VOCs); inorganic gases like sulfur di- oxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2); and particulate matter (PM). Petroleum Hydrocarbon Hydrocarbon fuels (including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel) are complex mixtures of hydro- carbons and additives. The constituents of hydrocarbon fuels possess a range of vapor pressures. For highly volatile components, chronic exposures or exposures to a high concentration may cause unconsciousness, coma, and possible death from respiratory failure. Exposure to low con- centrations of vapor may produce flushing of the face, slurred speech, and mental confusion. Fuels are also irritating to the skin, and may cause drying and dermatitis as a result of prolonged contact. Various components and additives of the fuels can themselves present significant additional hazards. The aromatic compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are of the 3 The AOA includes aircraft movement areas, aircraft parking areas, loading ramps, and safety areas, for use by regulated aircraft, and any adjacent areas (e.g., general aviation areas). Encompasses the runways, taxiways, aprons and other areas of the airport in- tended to be used by aircraft for taxiing, takeoff, landing, maneuvering, and parking. This area does not include the secured area.

A-8 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling main concern in relation to fieldwork activities. However, some additives used for performance enhancement (e.g., methyl tert-butyl ether - MTBE), oxygenation (e.g., alcohols and MTBE) and water scavenging (e.g., ethylene glycol methyl ether - EGME) can also present significant haz- ards as a result of prolonged inhalation or skin exposure. Tetra-ethyl and tetra-methyl lead, both of which have been identified as carcinogens and present moderate skin contact hazards, are added to aviation gasoline for anti-knock control. There are no set limits for petroleum hydrocarbons; however, gasoline guidelines may be used instead. Both the OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs) and American Conference of Gov- ernmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for gasoline are 300 parts per million (ppm). Material safety data sheets (MSDS) for these chemical substances are provided as Exhibit A-2 to this HASSP. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are produced during combustion events due to inade- quate oxidation of fuel. PAHs in the pure state are yellowish crystalline solids. They are found in coal tar and in products of incomplete combustion. These chemicals have varying degrees of po- tency for causing cancer, with benzo(a)pyrene being among the most potent (in low concentra- tions). Benzo(a)pyrene is often used as an indicator compound for PAH pollution. In airports PAHs are mainly produced due to incomplete combustion in aircraft and diesel engines. PAHs will exist bound to particulate matter and as gases in the exhaust gas. Some significant PAH compounds include: Anthracene Benzo(a)anthracene Benzo(b)fluoranthene Benzo(k)fluoranthene Benzo(g,h,i)perylene Benzo(d,e,f)phenanthrene Chrysene Fluoranthene Fluorene Indeno(1,2,3,c,d)pyrene MSDS for the primary chemical substances are provided as Exhibit A-2 to this HASSP. Volatile Organic Compounds Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a very large group of organic compounds mainly present as gases. Some VOCs (e.g., benzene), are carcinogenic while others (e.g., aldehydes, can cause irritation of eyes and airways. In airports VOCs mainly originate from fuel vaporized during fueling and unburned or partly burned fuel in the exhaust gas. Some VOCs will be bound to par- ticulate matter in exhaust gas. Aldehydes are also formed by photochemical reactions in the sur- rounding air. Inorganic Gases Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a colorless gas also with a strong characteristic odor. SO2 is emitted into the atmosphere by both natural processes and by man-made sources such as the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels and sulfuric acid manufacturing. When combined with other substances

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-9 in the air, SO2 can precipitate out as rain, fog, snow, or dry particles (commonly referred to as “acid rain”). Sulfate particles are a major cause of reduced visibility in many areas of the United States. Aircraft engines are a key source of SO2 in airports. The inhalation of elevated concentra- tions of SO2 can cause irritation of the mucous membranes, bronchial damage, and can exacer- bate pre-existing respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is a product of incomplete combustion of organic materials. In the ambient environment, it may temporarily accumulate into localized “hot-spots,” especially in calm weather conditions and in the wintertime when CO forms easily and is chemically most stable. CO can be absorbed by the lungs and react with he- moglobin to reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. At elevated concentrations CO can have cardiovascular and central nervous system effects. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a reddish-brown to dark brown gas with an irritating odor. NO2, ni- tric oxide (NO), and the nitrate radical (NO3) are collectively called oxides of nitrogen (NOx). These three compounds are interrelated, often changing from one form to another in chemical reactions. The principal man-made source of NOx is fuel combustion in motor vehicles and pow- er plants with aircraft also contributing. NO2 emissions from these sources are highest during high-temperature combustion conditions. Reactions of NOx with other chemicals (such as VOCs) can lead to ozone formation and acidic precipitation. Additionally, secondary PM can be formed within the atmosphere from precursor gases, such as NOx, through gas-phase photo- chemical reactions or through liquid phase reactions in clouds and fog droplets. In humans, NO2 can be a lung irritant capable of producing pulmonary edema at high concentrations and can lead to other respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Particulate Matter Particulate matter (PM) is made up of small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended or set- tling out of the atmosphere. PM consists of a number of components, including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles. PM can be formed from both natural and man-made sources including forest fires and wind erosion over exposed soils (i.e., fugitive dust); the incineration of solid wastes; and as an exhaust product from the internal combustion engine. Of growing concerns are the effects of PM on visibility and the po- tential impairment to human health by small PM (i.e., ultrafine particle emissions or PM0.1). The regulatory standards for PM are segregated by sizes: less than or equal to 10 micrometers (denoted PM10) and less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers (denoted PM2.5). Assessment of Exposure Hazards Inhalation – Inhalation of chemical hazards will be greatly minimized through use of adminis- trative controls and PPE such as air respirators. Skin Contact – Direct contact of chemical hazards to skin will be minimized through use of ad- ministrative controls, and dermal protective equipment. Eye Contact – Direct eye contact with chemical hazards will be minimized through the use of eye protective gear such as safety glasses.

A-10 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Personnel will minimize exposure hazards by conducting all data collection at sufficient distance from the exhaust areas of aircraft engines, GSE and/or vehicle engines. For lists of air contaminants and their representative permissible exposure limits (PELs) refer to 29 CFR §1910.1000 Table Z-1 and Z-2. Personnel’s exposure to any substance listed in Tables Z- 1 and Z-2 shall be limited in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR §1910.1000. First aid measures relevant to the chemical substances mentioned are described in the respec- tive MSDS provided as Exhibit A-2 to this HASSP. Physical Hazards Aside from adhering to all regulations, signs, markings and advisories discussed in the preced- ing sections, awareness of the physical surroundings is critical, and to increase visibility a safety vest will be required at all times when conducting data collection outside of a vehicle. Caution will be needed to protect from jet blast or jet engine ingestion if engines are running, including securing loose articles of clothing. Personnel will be mindful of the status of aircraft engine rota- tional lights which will be illuminated if an aircraft engine is running. Additionally, all markings noting restricted areas around an engine will be identified to prevent engine suction. Furthermore, during field observations at the Airport, there is potential for personnel to be ex- posed to physical hazards such as slips, trips, falls, and heat/cold stress as well as noise and ul- traviolet (UV) radiation as described below. Slips, Trips, and Falls Slips, trips & falls can happen anywhere while performing fieldwork and can result in falls, inju- ries, possibly disability or death. For instance, in the event field observations occur near glycol application areas, recommended PPE and/or gear includes waterproof clothing, waterproof shoes, and eye protection. In and around the deiced aircraft the ramp will become more hazard- ous, because GSE have a reduced ability to stop and personnel in the area may be more prone to slip-and-falls. The physical hazards associated with slips, trips and falls are detailed in Table 3. Table 3 – Identifying slips, trips, falls Type Definition Causes Slip Too little friction or traction between feet (footwear) and walking/working surface, resulting in loss of balance Wet product or spills on smooth floors or walking surfaces (e.g., water, mud, grease, oil, food, blood, etc.). Dry product or spills making walking surface slippery (e.g., dusts, powders, granules, wood, and plastic wrap- ping). Transitioning from one surface to an- other Sloped walking surfaces Ramps & gang planks without skid-

Fall at same level (i.e., fall to same walking or working sur- face, or fall into or against objects above same surface) and 2. Fall to lower level (i.e., fall to level below walking or working surface) Environmental Conditions In- creasing Risk of Trips & Slips Poor lighting, glare, shadows Bulky PPE (includes improper foot- wear, loose clothing) Excess noise or temperature Fog or misty conditions Poor housekeeping Inadequate or missing signage Heat and Cold Stress During field observations at the Airport, personnel may be exposed to heat and cold stress, which could vary based upon work activities, PPE/clothing selection, geographical locations, and weather conditions. The guidance in Table 4 and Table 5 should be used in identifying and treating heat-related illnesses and cold-related injuries, respectively. Table 4 – Identifying and Treating Heat-related Illnesses Type of Heat- Related Ill- nesses Description First Aid Mild Heat Strain The mildest form of heat-related illness. Victims exhibit irritabil- ity, lethargy, and significant Provide the victim with a work break during which he/she may re- lax, remove any excess protective

A-12 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Type of Heat- Related Ill- nesses Description First Aid sweating. The victim may com- plain of headache or nausea. This is the initial stage of overheating, and prompt action at this point may prevent more severe heat- related illness from occurring clothing, and drink cool fluids. If an air-conditioned spot is availa- ble, this is an ideal break location. Once the victim shows improve- ment, he/she may resume working; however, the work pace should be moderated to prevent recurrence of the symptoms. Heat Exhaustion Usually begins with muscular weakness and cramping, dizzi- ness, staggering gait, and nausea. The victim will have pale, clam- my moist skin and may perspire profusely. The pulse is weak and fast and the victim may faint un- less they lie down. The bowels may move involuntarily. Immediately remove the victim from the work area to a shady or cool area with good air circulation (avoid drafts or sudden chilling). Remove all protective outerwear. Call a physician. Treat the victim for shock. (Make the victim lie down, raise his or her feet 6–12 inches, and keep him or her cool by loosening all clothing). If the victim is conscious, it may be helpful to give him or her sips of water. Transport victim to a medical facili- ty as soon as possible. Heat Stroke The most serious of heat illness, heat stroke represents the col- lapse of the body’s cooling mech- anisms. As a result, body tem- perature may rise to 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. As the vic- tim progresses toward heat stroke, symptoms such as head- ache, dizziness, nausea can be noted, and the skin is observed to be dry, red, and hot. Sudden col- lapse and loss of consciousness follows quickly and death is im- minent if exposure continues. Heat stroke can occur suddenly. Immediately evacuate the victim to a cool and shady area. Remove all protective outerwear and as much personal clothing as decency permits. Lay the victim on his or her back with the feet slightly elevated. Apply cold wet towels or ice bags to the head, armpits, and thighs. Sponge off the bare skin with cool water or rubbing alcohol, if availa- ble. The main objective is to cool with- out chilling the victim. Give no stimulants or hot drinks. Since heat stroke is a severe medical condition requiring professional medical attention, emergency medi- cal help should be summoned im- mediately to provide on-site treat- ment of the victim and proper transport to a medical facility.

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-13 Table 5 – Identifying and Treating Cold-related Injuries Type of Cold- Related In- juries Description First Aid Hypothermia Hypothermia occurs when the body cannot maintain a normal core temperature of 98.6 to 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia can take a victim by surprise since it can occur above the freezing point. Wind, physical exhaustion and wet cloth- ing all make a person more prone to hypothermia. Usually victims of hypothermia have the following symptoms: numbness, stiffness or pain (especially in the neck, arms and legs), poor coordination, slurred speech and drowsiness, slow, irregular breathing and heartbeat/pulse, puffiness in the face, low blood pressure, listlessness, confusion and dis- orientation (It is not unusual to see someone who makes little or no effort to get out of the cold or keep warm), collapse or exhaustion after rest, severe shivering, and death is a possibility. Unconscious persons with severe hypothermia should be treated ag- gressively by experienced medical personnel and transported to a hos- pital. If no pulse is detected, CPR should be administered immediate- ly until help arrives. Remove the person out of frozen, wet or tight clothes. Rewarming the person in a warm bed or bath with warm packs, warm and dry clothes, or blankets can treat mild hypothermia in young and otherwise healthy persons. Have the victim drink something warm (if conscious) but do not give caffeine or alcohol. (Never give any- thing by mouth to someone who is unconscious). Frostnip Frostnip occurs when the face or extremities are exposed to cold wind, causing the skin to turn white. Symptoms include: firm, cold, white areas on the face, ears or extremi- ties, peeling or blistering that may appear similar to sunburn, and mild hypersensitivity to cold persists. The frost-nipped area should be treated by rewarming the area with an unaffected hand or a warm object. Do not apply hot water. Frostbite Frostbite occurs when there is freez- ing of the skin. It can occur without hypothermia when the extremities do not receive sufficient heat from Remove restrictive clothing or jewelry near the affected area or body part Warm the frozen part and exer-

The most vulnerable parts of the body are the nose, cheeks, ears, fingers, and toes. Damage from frostbite can be serious; scarring, tissue death, and amputation are all possible as is permanent loss of movement in the affected parts. Frostbitten areas may appear cold, hard, white, and anesthetic. On warming, area becomes blotchy, red, swollen and painful. Depending on the extent of the injury, the area may recover normally or deteriorate to gangrene. cise it but do not walk on frost- bitten feet Warm the frozen part quickly with sheets, blankets and warm water Remove wet clothing from the af- fected area and gently dry the af- fected part Place the affected part next to a warm part of the body if warm water is not available Seek medical attention immedi- ately Don’t rub the affected areas Don’t break any blisters Don’t drink caffeine or alcohol to treat for hypothermia or frostbite Don’t re-warm the frozen tissue if tissue refreezing is a possibility Don’t use hot water (use warm water only) Noise During field observations at the Airport, personnel may be exposed to noise. The most signifi- cant sources of noise and vibrations from airport operations are aircraft during the landing and takeoff (LTO) cycles, followed by a variety of ground operations equipment including aircraft taxiing; operation of GSE (e.g., passenger buses, mobile lounges, fuel trucks, aircraft tugs, air- craft and baggage tractors, and dolly carts); APUs; and aircraft engine testing activities in air- ports with aircraft maintenance activities. Other indirect sources of noise include ground vehicle traffic from access roads leading to the airport. PPE and/or gear (such as ear plugs and/or muffs) are required to reduce the potentially delete- rious exposure to aircraft engine, GSE and/or vehicle engine noise in the apron areas. UV Radiation Depending on geographical location of the Airport where the GSE surveys are being performed and weather conditions, personnel may be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation during field- work. The sun emits energy over a broad spectrum of wavelengths: visible light that you see, in- frared radiation that you feel as heat, and UV radiation that you cannot see or feel. UV radiation has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than visible light. It affects human health both posi- tively and negatively. Short exposure to UVB radiation (mostly absorbed by the ozone layer, but some does reach the earth’s surface) generates vitamin D, but can also lead to sunburn depend- ing on an individual’s skin type. Fortunately the atmosphere’s stratospheric ozone layer shields

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-15 us from most UV radiation. What does get through the ozone layer; however, can cause skin cancer, cataracts, suppression of the immune system, and premature aging of the skin. To protect against exposure to UV radiation, personnel will wear sunglass-type safety glasses at all times when working outdoors during daylight hours, utilize a commercial sunblock with a minimum solar protection factor (SPF) of 15, cover up and seek shade (as necessary). Biological Hazards Although the potential for biological hazards (such as mosquitoes, ticks, bees, and wasps) at the Airport are slim to none, care must be taken to ensure that these types of injuries are avoided. Contact with insects can cause injury and illness to personnel. Mosquitoes can potentially carry and transmit the West Nile Virus or Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). Ticks can transmit Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted-Fever. Bees and wasps can sting by injecting venom, which causes some individuals to experience anaphylactic shock (an extreme allergic reaction). When entering areas that provide a habitat for insects (e.g., grass areas), wear light-colored clothing, long pants and shirt, and spray exposed skin areas with a DEET-containing repellent. Keep away from high grass wherever possible. Keep your eyes and ears open for bee and wasp nests. If bitten by insects, see a doctor if there is any question of an allergic reaction. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and/or Gear The purpose of PPE and/or gear is to provide a barrier, which will shield or isolate individuals from the chemical physical, and/or biological hazards that may be encountered during work ac- tivities. Table 6 lists the minimum PPE and/or gear required during the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport and additional PPE as deemed necessary. The specific PPE guidelines are consistent with OSHA’s requirements in 29 CFR 1910.132. Additionally, Table 6 lists other essential items that should be carried on each transport vehicle during fieldwork. Table 6 – PPE and Gear Type of PPE Description High-visibility Safety Vest Must have reflective tape and be visible from all sides. Must be worn at all times during fieldwork. Footwear No open-toe shoes and/or sandals Waterproof shoes (when necessary) Work Uniform No shorts/cutoff jeans/sleeveless shirts/loose or bulky cloth- ing Waterproof clothing (when necessary) Hearing Protection Ear plugs and/or muffs

A-16 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Cold Weather Gear (if applicable) Warm clothing Eyewear Must wear sunglass-type safety glasses Sun screen/Insect repellant (if applicable) Must apply minimum solar protection factor (SPF) of 15 and DEET-containing repellent Other Essential Items: First Aid Kit Fire Extinguisher Water Should be carried on each transport vehicle. The number of first aid kits and the content of each kit shall reflect the degree of isolation, the number of personnel performing fieldwork, and the hazards reasonably anticipated at the work site. Should be carried on each transport vehicle. Should be carried on each transport vehicle. Of note, each subcontractor is responsible for equipping its personnel with any required PPE and/or gear. 6. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Although the potential for an emergency to occur is remote, the two major categories of emer- gencies that could potentially occur during fieldwork to personnel are: 1) illnesses and physical injuries (including injury-causing chemical exposure), and 2) catastrophic events (such as fire, explosion, earthquake, or chemical spill). The Airport shall have in place an Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) per the requirements of 14 CFR §139. Prior to the start of field work, the Airport Escort shall brief field work personnel on security and safety procedures as well as the AEP, and other airport-specific emergency procedures. All per- sonnel shall consult and adhere to airport-specific emergency action plan(s) and procedures. Information regarding the nearest hospital (with emergency care) to the Airport is listed below. Driving directions and map to the hospital from the Airport are presented as Exhibit A-3. Name of Nearest Hospital (with emergency care): ___ABC Hospital_______________________________ Address/Location: ___123 Hospital Lane, City, State, Zip code____________ Telephone: ____ (123)456-7891__________________________________ 7. STOP WORK AUTHORITY All personnel have the right and duty to stop work when conditions are unsafe, and to assist in correcting these conditions. Whenever the H&SO determines that workplace conditions present

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-17 an uncontrolled risk of injury or illness to personnel, immediate resolution with the appropriate supervisor shall be sought. The H&SO shall implement corrective actions so that operations may be safely resumed. Resumption of safe operations is the primary objective; however, operations shall not resume until all fieldwork personnel have concurred that workplace conditions meet acceptable safety standards. 8.

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-23 2. INTRODUCTION This Health, Safety, and Security Plan (HASSP) provides a general description of the levels of personal protection and safe operating guidelines expected from all personnel1 associated with Task 4 (Develop Draft Protocol for Collecting GSE Operational Data) of ACRP 02-46: Improv- ing Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Amplified Work Plan (AWP). The scope of work for this task is to conduct ground service equipment (GSE) fleet and activity surveys at _______________________ (the Airport), located at __ __________________, on __________________. The Airport site map, indicating site perimeter and survey areas as well as points of entry and exit is provided as Exhibit A-1 to this HASSP. The GSE surveys will comprise the collection of the following data: Number and type of vehicles by aircraft code; Difference between type of operations (i.e., dedicated cargo vs. passenger operations); Time in operational mode (including idling); and Gate deicing vehicles. The provisions of this HASSP are mandatory for all personnel engaged in fieldwork associated with the GSE surveys being conducted at the Airport. A copy of this HASSP shall be maintained by the Health and Safety Officer (H&SO) during the fieldwork and made available for review by all personnel at all times. Record keeping will be maintained in accordance with this HASSP and any applicable federal, state, and local regulations. 1 For the purpose of this HASSP, the term “personnel” refers to all the individuals (i.e., project manager, health and safety officer, airport escort, research team and subcontractors) involved in the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport.

A-24 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling 3. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE This section of the HASSP describes lines of authority, responsibility, and communication as they pertain to health and safety functions associated with the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport. The purpose of this section is to identify the personnel who impact the development and implementation of the HASSP and to describe their roles and responsibili- ties. This section also identifies the research team and subcontractors involved in work opera- tions and establishes the lines of communication among them for safety and health matters. The organizational structure and health program is consistent with OSHA requirements in 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §1910.120(b)(2). In addition, the site H&SO has the respon- sibility and authority to develop and implement this HASSP and verify compliance; as well as the lines of authority, responsibility, and communication for safety and health functions. This section is reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect the current organizational structure of the personnel performing the fieldwork. Roles and Responsibilities All personnel should comply with the requirements of this HASSP. The specific responsibilities and authority of management, security, safety and health, and other personnel are provided in Table 1 and further identified by name and company in Table 2. Table 1 – Roles and Responsibility of Personnel Role Responsibilities Project Manager (PM) The PM has the responsibility and authority to direct all work operations. The PM coordinates safety and health functions with the Health and Safety Officer (H&SO), has the authority to oversee and monitor the performance of the H&SO, and bears ultimate responsibility for the proper implementation of this HASSP. Health and Safety Officer (H&SO) The H&SO has full responsibility and authority to develop and implement this HASSP and to verify compliance. The H&SO reports to the PM. The H&SO is on-site or readily ac- cessible to the site during all work operations and has the au- thority to halt site work if unsafe conditions are detected. Airport Escort Personnel (AEP) The AEP is responsible for escorting the research team and/or subcontractors to airport airfields and apron areas and assuring that safety and security are adhered to and that the safety of personnel is ensured at all times. Research Team and Subcon- tractors The research team and other subcontractors are responsible for complying with this HASSP, using the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and/or gear, reporting unsafe acts and conditions, and following the work and safety and health instructions of the PM, H&SO, and AEP.

A-26 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling 4. SAFETY MEASURES ON AIRCRAFT APRONS AND AIRFIELD This section of the HASSP describes the various safety and security measures that all personnel should be aware of when performing the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport (within aircraft apron and airfield areas). It is imperative that all regulations pertaining to air- port safety and security are adhered to, and that the safety of personnel is ensured at all times. The safety and security measures within this HASSP are consistent with the requirements of FAA’s Federal Aviation Regulations (FARS) 14 CFR §107. Apron Practices All personnel will be escorted by a designated AEP when conducting fieldwork. When on the air- craft aprons, personnel must remain with their escort at a distance that continuously enables direct visual sighting and verbal communication until they have exited the Security Identifica- tion Display Area (SIDA)2. Personnel should also be aware of the common requirement that escorts ensure all secured doorways between the SIDA, secured areas and sterile areas are completely shut with locks en- gaged prior to leaving the area. If logistically it is required to move between the apron and the sterile area to reach sampling locations, personnel should understand that it is also their re- sponsibility to enable their escort to do so without impediment. Personnel will not encroach upon restricted apron areas and will conduct all data collection at sufficient distance from the aircraft and GSE so as not to interfere with operations. Further, as- signed personnel will, via signature of the HASSP, ensure that they understand and will abide by all pavement markings, signage, warnings and advisories necessary to ensure safe apron opera- tion, and will not engage in any activity that generates Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on the ramp. Airfield Access and Travel During fieldwork, close coordination with airport personnel and security staff will be required to ensure that personnel will be allowed to access and traverse the airfield with the equipment and supplies necessary to conduct field observations. Knowledge of the following general guidelines and best practices can be employed to facilitate airfield access and travel to the extent required for ACRP 02-46. Vehicles may be escorted into the SIDA in conjunction with an approved reason to escort and must possess a valid state registration. The escorted vehicle will be inspected before being al- lowed to enter the SIDA. Escort vehicles entering and exiting the airfield through secure access gates are required to stop and wait for the gate to close behind them, barring passage of any sub- sequent vehicles, even if the point of entry/exit is staffed by a gate security officer. It is the re- sponsibility of each individual to enable their escort to adhere to these procedures without im- pediment. 2 The SIDA is a portion of an airport, specified in the airport security program, in which security measures are carried out. This area includes the secured area and may include other areas within the airport’s perimeter boundary that require an individual to continu- ously display identification media (e.g., a badge).

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-27 Due to screening requirements, unscreened baggage cannot be carried through to the Air Opera- tions Area (AOA)3 or the SIDA via entrance through secured airfield or airport access gates. Fur- ther, field equipment bags and other vehicle items may be subject to inspection prior to being allowed airfield access. Personnel will not encroach upon restricted airfield areas or otherwise interfere with the safe movement of other vehicles and aircraft. Further, assigned personnel will, via signature of the HASSP, ensure that they understand and will abide by all pavement markings, signage, warn- ings and advisories necessary to ensure safe operation, and will not engage in any activity that generates FOD. Although the AEP is the only individual(s) permitted to drive airport vehicle(s), all other personnel are required to have an understanding of the airfield markings, signage, warnings and advisories. 5. POTENTIAL HAZARDS This section of the HASSP identifies the potential health and safety hazards associated with GSE fleet and activity surveys to be performed at the Airport, and evaluates the risks to personnel. During field observations at the Airport, there is potential for personnel to be exposed to: chem- ical, physical, and biological hazards. These are discussed in detail below. Chemical Hazards In airports the main sources of air pollution are exhaust from aircraft engines, aircraft auxiliary power units (APU), other combustion engines (e.g., vehicles, handling and loading equipment etc.), vapor emissions from refueling aircraft, and larger dust particles from brakes, tires, as- phalt, soil etc. Personnel working in close proximity to these types of sources may be exposed to a complex mixture of pollutants by incidental skin exposure, eye contact or inhalation. The main pollutants of concern can be divided into: petroleum hydrocarbons; polycyclic aro- matic hydrocarbons (PAHs); volatile organic compounds (VOCs); inorganic gases like sulfur di- oxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2); and particulate matter (PM). Petroleum Hydrocarbon Hydrocarbon fuels (including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel) are complex mixtures of hydro- carbons and additives. The constituents of hydrocarbon fuels possess a range of vapor pressures. For highly volatile components, chronic exposures or exposures to a high concentration may cause unconsciousness, coma, and possible death from respiratory failure. Exposure to low con- centrations of vapor may produce flushing of the face, slurred speech, and mental confusion. Fuels are also irritating to the skin, and may cause drying and dermatitis as a result of prolonged contact. Various components and additives of the fuels can themselves present significant additional hazards. The aromatic compounds BTEX are of the main concern in relation to fieldwork activi- 3 The AOA includes aircraft movement areas, aircraft parking areas, loading ramps, and safety areas, for use by regulated aircraft, and any adjacent areas (e.g., general aviation areas). Encompasses the runways, taxiways, aprons and other areas of the airport in- tended to be used by aircraft for taxiing, takeoff, landing, maneuvering, and parking. This area does not include the secured area.

A-28 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling ties. However, some additives used for performance enhancement (e.g., methyl tert-butyl ether - MTBE), oxygenation (e.g., alcohols and MTBE) and water scavenging (e.g., ethylene glycol me- thyl ether - EGME) can also present significant hazards as a result of prolonged inhalation or skin exposure. Tetra-ethyl and tetra-methyl lead, both of which have been identified as carcino- gens and present moderate skin contact hazards, are added to aviation gasoline for anti-knock control. There are no set limits for petroleum hydrocarbons; however, gasoline guidelines may be used instead. Both the OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs) and American Conference of Gov- ernmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for gasoline are 300 parts per million (ppm). Material safety data sheets (MSDS) for these chemical substances are provided as Exhibit A-2 to this HASSP. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are produced during combustion events due to inade- quate oxidation of fuel. PAHs in the pure state are yellowish crystalline solids. They are found in coal tar and in products of incomplete combustion. These chemicals have varying degrees of po- tency for causing cancer, with benzo(a)pyrene being among the most potent (in low concentra- tions). Benzo(a)pyrene is often used as an indicator compound for PAH pollution. In airports PAHs are mainly produced due to incomplete combustion in aircraft and diesel engines. PAHs will exist bound to particulate matter and as gases in the exhaust gas. Some significant PAH compounds include: Anthracene Benzo(a)anthracene Benzo(b)fluoranthene Benzo(k)fluoranthene Benzo(g,h,i)perylene Benzo(d,e,f)phenanthrene Chrysene Fluoranthene Fluorene Indeno(1,2,3,c,d)pyrene MSDS for the primary chemical substances are provided as Exhibit A-2 to this HASSP. Volatile Organic Compounds Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a very large group of organic compounds mainly present as gases. Some VOCs (e.g., benzene), are carcinogenic while others (e.g., aldehydes, can cause irritation of eyes and airways. In airports VOCs mainly originate from fuel vaporized during fueling and unburned or partly burned fuel in the exhaust gas. Some VOCs will be bound to par- ticulate matter in exhaust gas. Aldehydes are also formed by photochemical reactions in the sur- rounding air. Inorganic Gases Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a colorless gas also with a strong characteristic odor. SO2 is emitted into the atmosphere by both natural processes and by man-made sources such as the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels and sulfuric acid manufacturing. When combined with other substances

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-29 in the air, SO2 can precipitate out as rain, fog, snow, or dry particles (commonly referred to as “acid rain”). Sulfate particles are a major cause of reduced visibility in many areas of the United States. Aircraft engines are a key source of SO2 in airports. The inhalation of elevated concentra- tions of SO2 can cause irritation of the mucous membranes, bronchial damage, and can exacer- bate pre-existing respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is a product of incomplete combustion of organic materials. In the ambient environment, it may temporarily accumulate into localized “hot-spots,” especially in calm weather conditions and in the wintertime when CO forms easily and is chemically most stable. CO can be absorbed by the lungs and react with he- moglobin to reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. At elevated concentrations CO can have cardiovascular and central nervous system effects. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a reddish-brown to dark brown gas with an irritating odor. NO2, ni- tric oxide (NO), and the nitrate radical (NO3) are collectively called oxides of nitrogen (NOx). These three compounds are interrelated, often changing from one form to another in chemical reactions. The principal man-made source of NOx is fuel combustion in motor vehicles and pow- er plants with aircraft also contributing. NO2 emissions from these sources are highest during high-temperature combustion conditions. Reactions of NOx with other chemicals (such as VOCs) can lead to ozone formation and acidic precipitation. Additionally, secondary PM can be formed within the atmosphere from precursor gases, such as NOx, through gas-phase photo- chemical reactions or through liquid phase reactions in clouds and fog droplets. In humans, NO2 can be a lung irritant capable of producing pulmonary edema at high concentrations and can lead to other respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Particulate Matter Particulate matter (PM) is made up of small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended or set- tling out of the atmosphere. PM consists of a number of components, including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles. PM can be formed from both natural and man-made sources including forest fires and wind erosion over exposed soils (i.e., fugitive dust); the incineration of solid wastes; and as an exhaust product from the internal combustion engine. Of growing concerns are the effects of PM on visibility and the po- tential impairment to human health by small PM (i.e., ultrafine particle emissions or PM0.1). The regulatory standards for PM are segregated by sizes: less than or equal to 10 micrometers (denoted PM10) and less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers (denoted PM2.5). Assessment of Exposure Hazards Inhalation – Inhalation of chemical hazards will be greatly minimized through use of adminis- trative controls and PPE such as air respirators. Skin Contact – Direct contact of chemical hazards to skin will be minimized through use of ad- ministrative controls, and dermal protective equipment. Eye Contact – Direct eye contact with chemical hazards will be minimized through the use of eye protective gear such as safety glasses.

A-30 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Personnel will minimize exposure hazards by conducting all data collection at sufficient distance from the exhaust areas of aircrafts engines, GSE and/or vehicle engines. For list of air contaminants and their representative permissible exposure limits (PELs) refer to 29 CFR §1910.1000 Table Z-1 and Z-2. Personnel’s exposure to any substance listed in Tables Z- 1 and Z-2 shall be limited in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR §1910.1000. First aid measures relevant to the chemical substances mentioned are described in the respec- tive MSDS provided as Exhibit A-2 to this HASSP. Physical Hazards Aside from adhering to all regulations, signs, markings and advisories discussed in the preced- ing sections, awareness of the physical surroundings is critical, and to increase visibility a safety vest will be required at all times when conducting data collection outside of a vehicle. Caution will be needed to protect from jet blast or jet engine ingestion if engines are running, including securing loose articles of clothing. Personnel will be mindful of the status of aircraft engine rota- tional lights which will be illuminated if an aircraft engine is running. Additionally, all markings noting restricted areas around an engine will be identified to prevent engine suction. Furthermore, during field observations at the Airport, there is potential for personnel to be ex- posed to physical hazards such as slips, trips, falls, and heat/cold stress as well as noise and ul- traviolet (UV) radiation as described below. Slips, Trips, and Falls Slips, trips & falls can happen anywhere while performing fieldwork and can result in falls, inju- ries, possibly disability or death. For instance, in the event field observations occur near glycol application areas, recommended PPE and/or gear includes waterproof clothing, waterproof shoes, and eye protection. In and around the deiced aircraft the ramp will become more hazard- ous, because GSE have a reduced ability to stop and personnel in the area may be more prone to slip-and-falls. The physical hazards associated with slips, trips and falls are detailed in Table 3. Table 3 – Identifying slips, trips, falls Type Definition Causes Slip Too little friction or traction between feet (footwear) and walking/working surface, resulting in loss of balance Wet product or spills on smooth floors or walking surfaces (e.g., water, mud, grease, oil, food, blood, etc.). Dry product or spills making walking surface slippery (e.g., dusts, powders, granules, wood, and plastic wrap- ping). Transitioning from one surface to an- other Sloped walking surfaces Ramps & gang planks without skid-

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-31 or slip-resistant surfaces Metal surfaces (e.g., platforms, side- walk and road covers) Loose, irregular surfaces such as gravel Weather hazards Trip Foot or lower leg hits object and upper body continues moving, resulting in loss of balance Stepping down to lower sur- face & losing balance Uncovered hoses, cables, wires or ex- tension cords across aisles or walk- ways Clutter, obstacles in aisles, walkway & work areas Changes in elevation or levels Unmarked steps or ramps Irregularities in walking surfaces Thresholds or gaps Damaged, non-uniform, improper or irregular steps Debris, accumulated waste materials Objects protruding from walking sur- face Uneven surfaces and sidewalk/curb drops Fall Occurs when too far off cen- ter of balance Two types: 1. Fall at same level (i.e., fall to same walking or working sur- face, or fall into or against objects above same surface) and 2. Fall to lower level (i.e., fall to level below walking or working surface) Environmental Conditions In- creasing Risk of Trips & Slips Poor lighting, glare, shadows Bulky PPE (includes improper foot- wear, loose clothing) Excess noise or temperature Fog or misty conditions Poor housekeeping Inadequate or missing signage Heat and Cold Stress During field observations at the Airport, personnel may be exposed to heat and cold stress, which could vary based upon work activities, PPE/clothing selection, geographical locations, and weather conditions. The guidance in Table 4 and Table 5 should be used in identifying and treating heat-related illnesses and cold-related injuries, respectively. Table 4 – Identifying and Treating Heat-related Illnesses Type of Heat- Related Ill- nesses Description First Aid Mild Heat Strain The mildest form of heat-related illness. Victims exhibit irritabil- ity, lethargy, and significant Provide the victim with a work break during which he/she may re- lax, remove any excess protective

A-32 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Type of Heat- Related Ill- nesses Description First Aid sweating. The victim may com- plain of headache or nausea. This is the initial stage of overheating, and prompt action at this point may prevent more severe heat- related illness from occurring clothing, and drink cool fluids. If an air-conditioned spot is availa- ble, this is an ideal break location. Once the victim shows improve- ment, he/she may resume working; however, the work pace should be moderated to prevent recurrence of the symptoms. Heat Exhaustion Usually begins with muscular weakness and cramping, dizzi- ness, staggering gait, and nausea. The victim will have pale, clam- my moist skin and may perspire profusely. The pulse is weak and fast and the victim may faint un- less they lie down. The bowels may move involuntarily. Immediately remove the victim from the work area to a shady or cool area with good air circulation (avoid drafts or sudden chilling). Remove all protective outerwear. Call a physician. Treat the victim for shock. (Make the victim lie down, raise his or her feet 6–12 inches, and keep him or her cool by loosening all clothing). If the victim is conscious, it may be helpful to give him or her sips of water. Transport victim to a medical facili- ty as soon as possible. Heat Stroke The most serious of heat illness, heat stroke represents the col- lapse of the body’s cooling mech- anisms. As a result, body tem- perature may rise to 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. As the vic- tim progresses toward heat stroke, symptoms such as head- ache, dizziness, nausea can be noted, and the skin is observed to be dry, red, and hot. Sudden col- lapse and loss of consciousness follows quickly and death is im- minent if exposure continues. Heat stroke can occur suddenly. Immediately evacuate the victim to a cool and shady area. Remove all protective outerwear and as much personal clothing as decency permits. Lay the victim on his or her back with the feet slightly elevated. Apply cold wet towels or ice bags to the head, armpits, and thighs. Sponge off the bare skin with cool water or rubbing alcohol, if availa- ble. The main objective is to cool with- out chilling the victim. Give no stimulants or hot drinks. Since heat stroke is a severe medical condition requiring professional medical attention, emergency medi- cal help should be summoned im- mediately to provide on-site treat- ment of the victim and proper transport to a medical facility.

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-33 Table 5 – Identifying and Treating Cold-related Injuries Type of Cold- Related In- juries Description First Aid Hypothermia Hypothermia occurs when the body cannot maintain a normal core temperature of 98.6 to 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia can take a victim by surprise since it can occur above the freezing point. Wind, physical exhaustion and wet cloth- ing all make a person more prone to hypothermia. Usually victims of hypothermia have the following symptoms: numbness, stiffness or pain (especially in the neck, arms and legs), poor coordination, slurred speech and drowsiness, slow, irregular breathing and heartbeat/pulse, puffiness in the face, low blood pressure, listlessness, confusion and dis- orientation (It is not unusual to see someone who makes little or no effort to get out of the cold or keep warm), collapse or exhaustion after rest, severe shivering, and death is a possibility. Unconscious persons with severe hypothermia should be treated ag- gressively by experienced medical personnel and transported to a hos- pital. If no pulse is detected, CPR should be administered immediate- ly until help arrives. Remove the person out of frozen, wet or tight clothes. Rewarming the person in a warm bed or bath with warm packs, warm and dry clothes, or blankets can treat mild hypothermia in young and otherwise healthy persons. Have the victim drink something warm (if conscious) but do not give caffeine or alcohol. (Never give any- thing by mouth to someone who is unconscious). Frostnip Frostnip occurs when the face or extremities are exposed to cold wind, causing the skin to turn white. Symptoms include: firm, cold, white areas on the face, ears or extremi- ties, peeling or blistering that may appear similar to sunburn, and mild hypersensitivity to cold persists. The frost-nipped area should be treated by rewarming the area with an unaffected hand or a warm object. Do not apply hot water. Frostbite Frostbite occurs when there is freez- ing of the skin. It can occur without hypothermia when the extremities do not receive sufficient heat from Remove restrictive clothing or jewelry near the affected area or body part Warm the frozen part and exer-

A-34 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Type of Cold- Related In- juries Description First Aid central body stores because of inad- equate clothing or circulation. The most vulnerable parts of the body are the nose, cheeks, ears, fingers, and toes. Damage from frostbite can be serious; scarring, tissue death, and amputation are all possible as is permanent loss of movement in the affected parts. Frostbitten areas may appear cold, hard, white, and anesthetic. On warming, area becomes blotchy, red, swollen and painful. Depending on the extent of the injury, the area may recover normally or deteriorate to gangrene. cise it but do not walk on frost- bitten feet Warm the frozen part quickly with sheets, blankets and warm water Remove wet clothing from the af- fected area and gently dry the af- fected part Place the affected part next to a warm part of the body if warm water is not available Seek medical attention immedi- ately Don’t rub the affected areas Don’t break any blisters Don’t drink caffeine or alcohol to treat for hypothermia or frostbite Don’t re-warm the frozen tissue if tissue refreezing is a possibility Don’t use hot water (use warm water only) Noise During field observations at the Airport, personnel may be exposed to noise. The most signifi- cant sources of noise and vibrations from airport operations are aircraft during the landing and takeoff (LTO) cycles, followed by a variety of ground operations equipment including aircraft taxiing; operation of GSE (e.g., passenger buses, mobile lounges, fuel trucks, aircraft tugs, air- craft and baggage tractors, and dolly carts); APUs; and aircraft engine testing activities in air- ports with aircraft maintenance activities. Other indirect sources of noise include ground vehicle traffic from access roads leading to the airport. PPE and/or gear (such as ear plugs and/or muffs) are required to reduce the potentially delete- rious exposure to aircrafts engine, GSE and/or vehicle engine noise in the apron areas. UV Radiation Depending on geographical location of the Airport where the GSE surveys are being performed and weather conditions, personnel may be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation during field- work. The sun emits energy over a broad spectrum of wavelengths: visible light that you see, in- frared radiation that you feel as heat, and UV radiation that you cannot see or feel. UV radiation has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than visible light. It affects human health both posi- tively and negatively. Short exposure to UVB radiation (mostly absorbed by the ozone layer, but some does reach the earth’s surface) generates vitamin D, but can also lead to sunburn depend- ing on an individual’s skin type. Fortunately the atmosphere’s stratospheric ozone layer shields

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-35 us from most UV radiation. What does get through the ozone layer; however, can cause skin cancer, cataracts, suppression of the immune system, and premature aging of the skin. To protect against exposure to UV radiation, personnel will wear sunglass-type safety glasses at all times when working outdoors during daylight hours, utilize a commercial sunblock with a minimum solar protection factor (SPF) of 15, cover up and seek shade (as necessary). Biological Hazards Although the potential for biological hazards (such as mosquitoes, ticks, bees, and wasps) at the Airport are slim to none, care must be taken to ensure that these types of injuries are avoided. Contact with insects can cause injury and illness to personnel. Mosquitoes can potentially carry and transmit the West Nile Virus or EEE. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted-Fever. Bees and wasps can sting by injecting venom, which causes some individuals to experience anaphylactic shock (an extreme allergic reaction). When entering areas that provide a habitat for insects (e.g., grass areas), wear light-colored clothing, long pants and shirt, and spray exposed skin areas with a DEET-containing repellent. Keep away from high grass wherev- er possible. Keep your eyes and ears open for bee and wasp nests. If bitten by insects, see a doc- tor if there is any question of an allergic reaction. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and/or Gear The purpose of PPE and/or gear is to provide a barrier, which will shield or isolate individuals from the chemical physical, and/or biological hazards that may be encountered during work ac- tivities. Table 6 lists the minimum PPE and/or gear required during the GSE fleet and activity surveys performed at the Airport and additional PPE as deemed necessary. The specific PPE guidelines are consistent with OSHA’s requirements in 29 CFR 1910.132. Additionally, Table 6 lists other essential items that should be carried on each transport vehicle during fieldwork. Table 6 – PPE and Gear Type of PPE Description High-visibility Safety Vest Must have reflective tape and be visible from all sides. Must be worn at all times during fieldwork. Footwear No open-toe shoes and/or sandals Waterproof shoes (when necessary) Work Uniform No shorts/cutoff jeans/sleeveless shirts/loose or bulky cloth- ing Waterproof clothing (when necessary) Hearing Protection Ear plugs and/or muffs

A-36 Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling Cold Weather Gear (if applicable) Warm clothing Eyewear Must wear sunglass-type safety glasses Sun screen/Insect repellant (if applicable) Must apply minimum solar protection factor (SPF) of 15 and DEET-containing repellent Other Essential Items: First Aid Kit Fire Extinguisher Water Should be carried on each transport vehicle. The number of first aid kits and the content of each kit shall reflect the degree of isolation, the number of personnel performing fieldwork, and the hazards reasonably anticipated at the work site. Should be carried on each transport vehicle. Should be carried on each transport vehicle. Of note, each subcontractor is responsible for equipping its personnel with any required PPE and/or gear. 6. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Although the potential for an emergency to occur is remote, the two major categories of emer- gencies that could potentially occur during fieldwork to personnel are: 1) illnesses and physical injuries (including injury-causing chemical exposure), and 2) catastrophic events (such as fire, explosion, earthquake, or chemical spill). The Airport shall have in place an Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) per the requirements of 14 CFR §139. Prior to the start of field work, the Airport Escort shall brief field work personnel on security and safety procedures as well as the AEP, and other airport-specific emergency procedures. All per- sonnel shall consult and adhere to airport-specific emergency action plan(s) and procedures. Information regarding the nearest hospital (with emergency care) to the Airport is listed below. Driving directions and map to the hospital from the Airport are presented as Exhibit A-3. Name of Nearest Hospital (with emergency care): ___ _______________________________ Address/Location: ___ ___________________________________ Telephone: _____________________ 7. STOP WORK AUTHORITY All personnel have the right and duty to stop work when conditions are unsafe, and to assist in correcting these conditions. Whenever the H&SO determines that workplace conditions present

Example Health, Safety, and Security Plan A-37 an uncontrolled risk of injury or illness to personnel, immediate resolution with the appropriate supervisor shall be sought. The H&SO shall implement corrective actions so that operations may be safely resumed. Resumption of safe operations is the primary objective; however, operations shall not resume until all fieldwork personnel has concurred that workplace conditions meet ac- ceptable safety standards. 8.
