Abstract
This chapter deals with the planning and organization of health and safety plans. Planning is the first step in hazardous waste site response activities. By anticipating and taking steps to prevent potential health and safety hazards, work at a waste site can proceed with minimum risk to the workers and the public. Planning can be organized into three phases—developing an organizational structure for site operations, establishing a work plan that considers each specific phase of the operation, and developing and implementing a health and safety plan. The organizational structure should identify the personnel required for the operation, establish the chain of command, and specify the responsibilities of each employee. The work plan should establish the objectives of site operations, and the logistics and resources required to achieve the goals. The health and safety plan should determine the health and safety concerns for each phase of the operation, and describe the procedures for worker and public protection.
