Description / Abstract:
This practice is intended to help protect drillers in the event
they unexpectedly encounter suspected hazardous materials while
performing subsurface investigations. This is accomplished by
training the drillers, identifying precautions to minimize risks of
contamination, and establishing a procedure to follow if suspected
hazardous material is encountered.1
This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations,
and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
