When exposure to sound levels in the field personnel's ear ("A") scale, slow <br /> response) is likely to be in excess of 90 Db for greater than 5 minutes or 85 Db for <br /> greater than 30 minutes, noise protection shall be worn. Thus, a sound level meter <br /> shall be present if these levels are likely to occur. <br /> It is anticipated that work within ten (10) feet of a drill rig will be 85 Db or <br /> greater. Sound level meter (SLB) readings will be performed whenever obvious <br /> noise sources call for measurements. The SLM readings will be used to determine <br /> the need for mandatory hearing protection. Once specific operations/tools are <br /> documented as producing noise levels that require hearing protection, the FSS may <br /> enforce the use of hearing protection whenever the operation takes place. ANSI- <br /> approved hearing protection must be worn during noise operations such as drilling. <br /> 13.6 Surface and Equipment Contamination <br /> Contact with contaminated surfaces, or surfaces suspected of being contaminated, <br /> should be avoided. This includes walking through, kneeling or placing equipment <br /> in puddles, mud, discolored surfaces, or on drums and other containers. Eating, <br /> smoking, drinking and/or the application of cosmetics is prohibited on this site in <br /> the immediate work area. This reduces the likelihood of contamination by <br /> ingestion. <br /> 13.7 Exposure - Heat Stress <br /> Since climatic changes cannot be avoided, work schedules will be adjusted to <br /> provide time intervals for intake of juices, juice products and water in an area free <br /> from contamination and in quantity appropriate for fluid replacement. <br /> Heat stress may occur even in moderate temperature areas and may present any or <br /> all of the following: <br /> • Heat Rash: Result of continuous exposure to heat, humid air and chafing <br /> clothes. Heat rash is uncomfortable and decreases the ability to tolerate <br /> heat. <br /> • Heat Cramps: Result of the inadequate replacement of body electrolytes <br /> lost through perspiration. Signs include severe spasms and pain in the <br /> extremities and abdomen. <br /> • Heat Exhaustion: Result of increased stress on the vital organs of the body <br /> in the effort to meet the body's cooling demands. Signs include the <br /> following: shallow breathing; pale, cool moist skin; profuse sweating; <br /> dizziness. <br /> Santochi&Bravante LLC American Savings Bank <br /> 20 Corporate Plaza 9620-041-1 <br /> Newport Beach,California 23 222 El Dorado <br />
