Safety Guideline

Page 96 of 132

5.3 - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The PPE requirements for well construction are similar to the protection worn during the drilling operations.

At a minimum the following PPE is required:

• Hard hat

• Steel toed boots

• Gloves

• Safety glasses

• Hearing protection

Additional dermal and respiratory protection is dictated by the site-specific health and safety plan. The field

personnel must remember that as the well materials are being added to the borehole, fluids are being

displaced and may rise to the ground level in the borehole. Therefore, the PPE should mitigate potential

exposure to the contaminants present in the subsurface or ground water.

PPE for well development must also be determined based on the chemicals used for well development and

the potential for exposure to contaminated ground water.

5.4 - Waste containment

Two waste streams will be generated during well construction, subsurface materials such as soil and ground

water and rubbish including, empty filter pack and cement bags, five gallon pails, boxes and bags from the

well screen and casing along with other packing containers.

The soil cuttings and ground water should be contained in the same manner as the material generated during

the drilling operations.

The rubbish and trash must be properly controlled in labeled containers during well construction. Placing

the material in receptacles as they are used eliminates the potential for slips, trips, and falls caused by

personnel movement around the well site.

Well development activities generate a rubbish waste stream (from packaging of the chemicals) and the

ground water produced during pumping activities.
