If temperatures are unusually <br /> Iow and/or the weather is damp or windy, some precautions may be required These precautions <br /> include wearing cold-protective clothing appropriate for the level of cold and physical activity, <br /> changing under clothing if it becomes wet, and establishing a work warming regimen. Cold <br /> protective clothing will include layering of garments and wearing gloves and hats The warming <br /> breaks should be taken in a warm location if at all possible, including improvising a wind break <br /> shelter During warming breaks, warm sweet beverages and soups should be consumed to <br /> provide calories and fluids Drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages is not recommended <br /> Cold stress, if not prevented, can result in frostbite and hypothermia Ignoring the signs and <br /> symptoms of cold stress can be life-threatening Prevention is the key As a preventive measure, <br /> body core temperature must not drop below 96 8 degrees F Pain in the extremities is the first <br /> early warning of cold stress Severe shivering sets in when the body core temperature has <br /> dropped below 95 degrees F or less. If this occurs, work will stop immediately and the affected <br /> worker(s) will take a warming break of sufficient duration until the cold stress signs and <br /> symptoms are gone <br /> TRAINING REQUIREMENTS <br /> All BC staff working on site have completed training in hazard recognition and basic health and <br /> safety issues as required by the occupational safety and health regulations contained in 29 CFR <br /> 1910 120 (E) and Title 8 California Code of Regulations Section 5192 (e) This training is <br /> accomplished through an initial 40-hour classroom program, which includes hazard <br /> communication training, and 24-hour on-the-fob training The 8-hour refresher training is <br /> conducted annually In addition, field personnel will be familiar with the requirements of this <br /> SSHP, and will participate in site activity and safety briefings provided by the project SSO. The <br /> SSO and project manager have completed the required 8 hours of additional supervisory training <br /> for this project assignment, and first aid and CPR <br /> All subcontractor personnel directly involved with the field work must also meet the training <br /> requirements of 29 CFR 1910 120 and 8 CCR 5192, and be respirator trained and fit-tested by <br /> a qualified person In addition, the subcontractor's field personnel must attend the site safety <br /> briefings conducted prior to starting field activities and as needed during the project <br /> • <br /> 12!1 YPE'M 17TMI5CNNORTHARCO <br /> QMS PS4I0 <br />
