U-Haul <br /> Facility Number 709-83,450 North Cherokee Lane <br /> Lodi, California <br /> WPI Project#96237 <br /> HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN <br /> Page 13 <br /> Heat Stress Monitoring <br /> Monitoring should begin when ambient temperatures reach 80°, Fahrenheit (F). If <br /> impervious clothing is being worn, monitoring should commence at 70° F, or above. <br /> When temperatures exceed 85° F, workers will be monitored after every work period. <br /> Heart rate should be measured for 30 seconds prior to work start-up. Heart rate will then <br /> be measured for 30 seconds at the beginning of the rest period. The heart rate should not <br /> exceed 110 beats per minute. If the heart rate is higher, the next work period should be <br /> shortened by 25 percent. The heart rate should then be measured again, once each minute <br /> for 2 minutes after the initial measurement. The heart rate should decrease by 10 beats <br /> per minute between each successive measurement. If the heart rate does not decrease by <br /> a total of 20 beats, work should not begin until it has lowered and the next work period <br /> should be reduced by 25%. <br /> General Precautions <br /> 1. Provide plenty of liquids such as water or special drink mixes for heat. <br /> 2. Provide water hoses to reduce body temperature and cool protective clothing. <br /> 3. In extremely hot weather, conduct work in early morning or evening. <br /> 4. Provide shelter for personnel taking breaks where they can avoid direct exposure <br /> to heat and sunlight. <br /> F. Physical-Excavation shall be sufficiently barricaded to prevent falls into open excavation. <br /> No one shall enter an excavation below the depth of 5 feet unless the excavation is sloped <br /> or shored adequately to prevent cave-in or collapse. <br />
