(A) Introduction: This HASP template was prepared by OSHA and funded by EPA. It provides model language that is acceptable to OSHA in meeting the requirements of OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard, 29 CFR 1910.120 or 29 CFR 1926.65, paragraph (b)(4). That paragraph requires a site-specific safety and health plan for clean-up operations conducted under HAZWOPER. Qualified health and safety professionals can use the accompanying files to create a site-specific health and safety plan for cleanup of facilities recently contaminated with anthrax spores through bio-terrorism. If these files are completed accurately and thoroughly, and the resulting HASP is fully implemented at the anthrax-decontamination project site, the employer is likely to have a site health and safety program that effectively protects employee health and safety. The files are available as compressed (zipped) Word 6.0/95 document files. They can be opened by most modern word-processing software. There are 13 HASP chapters included here, one for each of the required elements listed in paragraph (b)(4) of HAZWOPER. Eleven of these are full-text chapters (1-11 below), and two are place-holder chapters where you will insert information from other sources (12 & 13). The chapters include: (1) Organizational Structure [ZIP 7KB]; (2) Site Characterization and Job Hazard Analysis [ZIP 7KB]; (3) Site Control [ZIP 8KB]; (4) Training [ZIP 7KB]; (5) Medical Surveillance [ZIP 9KB]; (6) PPE [ZIP 13 KB]; (7) Exposure Monitoring [ZIP 10KB]; (8) Heat Stress [ZIP 11KB]; (9) Spill Containment [ZIP 6KB]; (10) Decontamination [ZIP 8KB]; (11) Emergency Response [ZIP 12KB]; (12) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) [ZIP 3KB]: placeholder chapter for SOPs not included in other chapters; (13) Confined Spaces [ZIP 3KB]: placeholder chapter for written confined space entry procedures. If you need assistance preparing such procedures, See: OSHA's e-tools webpage. A brief safety data sheet for anthrax [ZIP 5KB] is also included. To date, there is no established exposure limit for anthrax spores. Therefore, exposure should be kept to a minimum. These files are also available in an ALL-In-One [ZIP 100KB].
