1.3 DEFINITIONS
1.3.1 Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH)
As used in this Section, refers to an Industrial Hygienist employed by the Contractor and is certified by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene in comprehensive practice.
1.3.2 Hazardous Areas
Hazardous areas must be defined as any area within 100 feet of active aboveground storage tanks, areas within 100 feet of leaking sections of fuel pipelines or other vapor sources, areas within 200 feet of the downwind side of potential vapor emission sources (i.e., pressure-vacuum vents or open vents on active tanks, leaking sections of pipelines), areas within existing tanks, and areas within a dike.
1.3.3 Hot Work Operations
Hot work, for work covered by this Section, includes: Flame heating, welding, torch cutting, brazing, carbon arc gouging, or any work which produces heat, by any means, of 400 degrees F or more; or in the presence of flammables or flammable atmospheres, other ignition sources such as spark or arc producing tools (except steel hand tools) or equipment, static discharges, friction, impact, open flames or embers, non-explosion-proof lights, fixtures, motors or equipment. Prepare tankbottoms for hot work in accordance with API RP 2207 .
1.3.4 Reproductive Hazard
A reproductive hazard is defined as any occupational stressor (biological, chemical, or physical) that has the potential to adversely affect the
SECTION 33 01 50.60 Page 4 human reproductive process. For example, it is well known that central nervous system problems often occur in the offspring of mothers exposed to organic mercury during pregnancy. Therefore, based on the example cited, organic mercury can be classified as a reproductive stressor. Many reproductive hazards also cause other adverse health effects; for example, ethylene oxide is also known to be a carcinogen (i.e., produces cancer).
Certain reproductive stressors can also have adverse effects on the male reproductive system. (If requested by the Contractor, the Contracting Officer will make available the Navy's standard on reproductive hazards.)
