0 0 <br /> 70°F from spring through fall and ranging to greater than 100°F during the summer months. All <br /> personnel on this project will be subject to the heat stress phenomenon regardless of their job <br /> assignment. Some jobs will require more heat stress management than others due to the use of <br /> occlusive protective clothing. <br /> The body's response to stress occurs in three stages: <br /> Alarm reaction in which the body recognizes the stressor and the pituitary-adreno- <br /> cortical system responds by increasing the heart rate and blood sugar level, <br /> decreasing digestive activity, and dilating the pupils. <br /> Adaptive stage in which the body repairs effect of stimulation and the stress <br /> symptoms disappear. <br /> Exhaustive stage in which the body can no longer adapt to stress and individual <br /> may develop emotional disturbances, and cardiovascular and renal diseases. <br /> A more detailed discussion on heat stress and monitoring is presented in Section 4.4. <br /> 3.1.6 Lifting Hazards <br /> Field personnel may be exposed to injury caused by lifting heavy objects because drilling <br /> operations involve manual movement of heavy drilling equipment such as auger flights and <br /> various other pieces of equipment. Field personnel will be informed of the proper method to lift <br /> heavy equipment and will be cautioned against lifting objects that are too heavy for one person. <br /> 3.1.7 Injuries by Snakes, Insects, or Animals <br /> Site Personnel should be aware that Site activities might disturb the local wildlife population. <br /> Activities performed near housing areas could also aggravate domestic animals. Snakes, other <br /> animals, and some insects can and will bite. Prompt first aid measures are extremely important. <br /> Site Personnel should be briefed on the potential for encountering wildlife and be instructed in <br /> prompt first aid procedures for snake, insect, or animal bites. If immediate transport to a hospital <br /> is possible, then this should be done instead of attempting any alternate, potentially dangerous, <br /> methods. <br /> 3.2 Chemical Hazards <br /> Information on the chemicals that may exist in the Site is summarized in Exhibit B of this H&S <br /> plan. <br /> 3.2.1 Potential Health Risks <br /> Based on available information concerning the levels and types of residues currently on the Site <br /> chemical exposures may occur through inhalation of vapors, direct skin or eye contact, injection, <br /> or ingestion. <br /> ENVfl.., 7 February 2005 <br /> A M E R 1 C A PdPG&E\PGE-05-01 Stockton MW26R Investigation\MW26 Work Plan\H&S\H&S Plan-2005.doc <br />
