U Site Safety and Health Plan Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination Terracon Project#67047008 Page 13 proceed to the victim. An ambulance will be called immediately. If the extent of injuries permit, the injured employee will be removed to fresh air. Appropriate first aid will be administered. s If rescuer(s) 'assess that the victim cannot be removed without a stretcher or other specialized equipment, the victim will be removed at the earliest possible moment by appropriately attired Terracon personnel with the direction and/or assistance of qualified medical response personnel. The injured employee will be immediately decontaminated and transported to the nearest medical facility. A crew member designated by the SSO will inform the ambulance crew j of contaminants of concern and provide assistance with additional decontamination if required. 14.2 Evacuation and Shutdown Procedures The SSO will establish and notify site personnel of emergency"rally" points. In the event of a site emergency, personnel will immediately exit the site and assemble at the designated rally point. Evacuation routes will be dependent on site topography and wind conditions. The routes will be selected and presented by the SSO daily prior to site activity. If emergency evacuation becomes necessary, the SSO will sound the emergency alarm (e.g. support vehicle horn or compressed air horn). Personnel will safely shutdown all electrical and mechanical equipment and quickly proceed to closest designated rally point. The SSO will then account for each crew member on site. I In the event that a Terracon employee does not report to the designated rally point within 5 minutes of the evacuation alarm, the SSO will perform an immediate assessment of site conditions. If site conditions do not pose an immediate hazard to life or health, the SSO will initiate search and rescue efforts utilizing two crew members attired in appropriate personal protective equipment. 15.0 HEAT STRESS 15.1 Level D/D Modified PPE Whenever ambient temperature exceeds 70 degrees F and personal protective equipment requirements are Level D or Level D modified, the following heat stress monitoring and preventive measures will be implemented. i • i At least one gallon of water will be available for each field employee during each day of site activity. The designated Site Safety Officer and one designee will observe personnel for signs of heat stress (excessive perspiration, flushed skin, nausea, etc.). If such signs are observed, affected workers will be required to leave the contaminant zone, loosen protective clothing and rest. During the rest period affected personnel will drink at least one S oz. glass of cool water. Pulse will be checked at the beginning of the rest period. Personnel will not return to work until pulse rate is less than 90. 15.2 Level C. B or A PPE In addition to the above precautions, the following procedures will be implemented whenever the ambient temperature exceed 70 degrees F and personal protective equipment requirements are Level C or above. Ambient temperature will be measured with a dry bulb thermometer and percent cloud cover will be estimated: ii
