Health and Safety Plan for Anthrax - Electronic (e-HASP) 2


Health and Safety Plan for Anthrax - Electronic (e-HASP) 2 :

(B) Specific Instructions for Completing the HASP: These chapters are word processing documents that can be completed by filling in site-specific information. Technical health and safety decisions are required to complete this HASP, just as the preparation of any HASP would require. For this reason,  OSHA recommends that only qualified health and safety professionals be used as HASP preparers. Instructions are included in each chapter to guide the HASP preparer in completing site-specific text. These instructions are in the form of optional text, help text, pick lists, "insert" instructions, and "add/delete/edit" instructions. Each of these is described more fully below. (1) Optional Text: Optional text provides different versions of chapter language depending on specific site circumstances. For example, chapter text for a site that relies on its own employees for emergency response will be different than a site that relies on an outside organization such as a local fire department. The instructions for optional text appear as bold text. (2) Help Text: Help text is included to help the HASP preparer make key decisions. For example, help text provides the definition of a permit-required confined space to assist the preparer in determining whether permit spaces exist at the site. Help text appears as italicized text in brackets. (3) Pick Lists: Pick lists provide a selection of items to help complete a table. For example, a pick list of exposure monitoring instruments will provide the preparer a list of possible instruments to choose from. Pick lists are only suggestions; the preparer must complete each table accurately based on equipment and procedures actually used at the site. In chapter text, a note signifies that there is a pick list associated with the applicable paragraph. The pick lists appear at the end of chapters. (4) "Insert" Instructions: Insert instructions tell the preparer to insert a required figure or map. For example, the preparer must insert a map showing the site zone boundaries. Insert instructions typically appear at the top of a blank page where a map or figure needs to be inserted. (5) "Add/Delete/Edit" Instructions: Add/delete/edit instructions generally appear before chapter SOPs in bold text and instruct the preparer to add, delete, or edit SOPs as appropriate for the site. To get the maximum benefit from this HASP, OSHA recommends the following: (1) Complete the chapters in order, or at a minimum, complete Chapter 2 before completing Chapters 3-15. This is important since the site characterization/job hazard analyses in Chapter 2 are the basis for the protective measures selected in the remaining chapters. (2) Do not edit or delete text except where indicated in order to retain the HAZW OPER provisions intentionally included in these files. (3) Provide the information requested. The chapter text is designed to prompt you for information that needs to be planned and determined before site activities begin. (4) Insert personnel names wherever indicated in order to assign responsibility for the specific task discussed. (5) Implement the written program that results from your site-specific input. (6) If you have questions about how to choose effective control measures for your anthrax facility decontamination project and/or how to comply with the provisions included in this HASP, seek OSHA's assistance. We recognize that there are no established methods for clean-up of facilities contaminated with weapons-grade anthrax spores. For help in planning and implementing effective clean-up operations, please contact your OSHA Area Office. See more from topic source: https://www.osha.gov/html/a-z-index.html.
