Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan

Developing a Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan 

A properly designed and implemented site-speeifie HASP provides the basis for proteetion of workers, visitors, and the publie. The HASP is a requirement at all HAZWOPER sites [1] and will likely soon beeome a requirement at all sites. However, before we begin development of the HASP there is a lot of work to do. The following diseussion will outline the diflferenees between a health and safety program and a HASP doeument. 

The HASP, on the other hand, foeuses on the site-speeifie aetivities and outlines the appropriate elements of the site s existing health and safety program to the related task. The existing programs are reviewed to identify those elements meeting the needs of the planned site aetivity. Program elements and proeedures are supplemented with worksite-speeifie detail and tailored to meet speeial or unique aspeets of the hazardous waste aetivity on an as-needed basis [1].
