r t w f f f If you are allergic to bee or wasp stings,be sure to have the appropriate first aid available (e.g., an epi- pen)on the project. If you are stung, administer first aid and seek immediate medical attention. Be sure a vector or animal bite victim obtains medical attention quickly if a bite or scratch occurs, especially if there is a potential that it was poisonous. In the meantime, administer First Aid by scrubbing the wound with soap and water, and rinsing thoroughly under running water. Dry off and place a clean bandage on the wound. Victims of these bites should lie I;down and remain calm and l motionless; cold packs should be applied and medical attention sought immediately. y If bitten by a tick,remove it by grasping the head close to the skin using fine point tweezers and gently pull it out; DO NOT squeeze the tick body, which may cause it to bite harder and possible inject infected blood into the wound. Place the tick in a plastic bag for identification. If it is identified as a deer tick, a physician may prescribe antibiotics to suppress potential,lyme disease. 3.6 Thermal Hazards — Heat Stress Type(s)/Source: Solar load—working outdoors in spring/summer months Qualified Exposure Risk: Moderate Primary"Control": Compliance with T8 CCR§3395 Heat Illness Prevention Dress appropriately for the expected weather conditions. Hazard: In addition to the chemical,physical and operational hazards referenced above,heat stress may present a potential hazard to on-site personnel during the on-site operations.:This hazard can be created when individuals work in warm temperatures while wearing relatively impervious protective clothing. When ambient air temperatures at the site exceed approximately 75.!degrees Fahrenheit, heat stress can result. If these conditions are encountered,the precautions referenced below should be implemented. Controls: The Project Manager or SSO should regularly monitor ambient.air temperature. Field team members will be observed for signs and symptoms of heat stress including: dizziness, profuse E I sweating, skin color change, and increased heart rate and vision problems! Personnel who exhibit any u of these symptoms will be removed from field work and requested to consume 2 to 4 pints of electrolyte fluid or cool water every hour while resting in a shaded area: The individual should not return to work until the symptoms are no longer recognizable. If symptoms appear critical, persist or get worse,seek immediately medical attention. To control the potential occurrence of heat stress, preventive,�measures will be evaluated and implemented on a daily basis (ref. T8 CCR §3395 Heat Illness Prevention). These measures may include:- 0 nclude:• Schedule periodic cooling and rest (recovery) periods in a shaded area such as a vehicle with air conditioning or the shade of a tree or building(ref. T8 CCR§3395(d)Heat Illness Prevention); Shop 10 MS,Task Order No.94 Caltrans Contract No.06A 1141,EA 43-910076 Project No. S9200-06-94 -9- July 2010
