To create a site-specific safety plan, consider the following:

1. Hazard Identification: Identify potential hazards associated with the tasks, equipment, and materials used on the site. For example, if using Alum Roof Coating, be aware of the occupational exposure limits for asphalt and aluminum [1]. If the job involves materials containing crystalline silica, note that it is a suspected human carcinogen 1, 2, 6, 9.
2. Engineering Controls: Implement engineering controls to minimize hazards. Ensure good ventilation of the work area and provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers [1].
3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Determine appropriate PPE based on the identified hazards. This may include safety goggles, protective clothing, and impervious gloves (e.g., nitrile, PVC, neoprene, or rubber) 9, 17, 18, 20. If exposure levels exceed workplace limits, use adequate respiratory protection, such as a NIOSH-approved respirator 9, 17, 18.
4. Safe Handling and Storage: Follow precautions for safe handling and storage of materials. Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and do not breathe dust or vapors 19, 20. Store materials in tightly closed containers, out of reach of children [2].
5. Waste Disposal: Dispose of waste in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations 3, 4. Do not allow materials to enter drains, sewers, or waterways 3, 4.
6. Emergency Procedures: Establish clear emergency procedures, including first aid measures. For eye contact, flush immediately with water for 15 minutes [3]. For skin contact, wash with soap and water [3]. If inhalation occurs, move to fresh air [3].
7. Stability and Reactivity: Be aware of conditions to avoid, such as heat, flames, sparks, and incompatible materials [4]. Know the potential hazardous decomposition products 5, 13, 14, 15, 16.
8. Transportation Information: Ensure proper transportation of materials, following DOT regulations 3, 4.
9. Regulatory Information: Comply with federal and state regulations, including TSCA, SARA, and California Proposition 65 2, 11.
