...6 ogress ano rolse <br />A hazard exists 4an individuals are requ�ad to work in warm <br />temperatures, particularly while wearing impervious protective <br />Clothing. When the ambient air temperature exceeds 65 degrees, heat <br />stress may become a problem. If these conditions are encountered, <br />the following precautions on the next will be taken: <br />* During day -today field work, the on-site supervisor will <br />be alert for the signs and symptoms of heat stress. <br />Field workers will be observed for the following signs and symptoms <br />of heat stress. <br />* profuse sweating, or complete lack of sweating, <br />* skin color change, <br />* increased heart rate, <br />* body temperatures in excess of 100 degrees as measured by <br />thermometers, and <br />* vision problems. <br />Any team member who exhibits any of these signs or symptoms will be <br />removed immediately from field work and be requested to consume <br />electrolyte fluid or cool water while resting in a shaded area. The <br />individual will be instructed to rest until the symptoms are <br />recognizable. If the symptoms appear critical, persist or get worse, <br />immediate medical attention will be sought. <br />when working around mechanical equipment the potential exists for <br />exposure to excessive noise. To deal with the health hazards of <br />excessive noise, ear plugs will be provided. <br />Personal Protective Equipment Requirements <br />This section specifies personal protective equipment required for the <br />various tasks of this project. <br />Soil Borings and Sampling <br />Respiratory Protection: All field personnel will be required to have <br />available an air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges. <br />The respirators will be required based on criteria presented in this <br />safety plan. All respirators must be NIOSH approved, canister - <br />equipped for all organic vapors up to 1000 ppm. <br />SSP -6 <br />
