Site Safety and Health Plan ±19.41 Acres Vacant Land ■ Manteca, California 1 rerracon June 12, 2017 ■ Terracon Project No. NB177049 noise as possible when approaching an area to allow time for the rodent to leave. Use a long handled shovel, heavy equipment or other tools when moving or lifting objects that could be used by nests. Never reach under or behind objects or into other areas where rodents may hide. Look before placing your hands or feet anywhere, and do not put your hands or feet into places you cannot see. Rodents are potential hosts of hantaviruses which can kill humans if infected. Symptoms may include flu-tike symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle pain, headache, lethargy two to three weeks after exposure. Hanta virus pulmonary syndrome is characterized by sudden shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. There are no known vaccines for hantavirues. Employees exhibiting the symptoms should seek medical help immediately. The best prevention against hanta virus is to eliminate or minimize contact with rodents. 8.0 ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES • Before drilling/probing are permitted, underground utilities will be located and marked. • The SSO will hold daily safety briefings at the beginning of each day of site activity. • If site activities interrupt the normal flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, appropriate barricades will be erected around the project site. Safety orange work vests will be worn by personnel working within 10 feet of any active roadway or when vehicles or mobile equipment are present onsite. • The SSO will ensure that unauthorized personnel do not enter the work zone. Authorized visitors will be briefed on site contaminants, personal protective equipment requirements and the decon provisions of this Plan. • The SSO will continually inspect the work area for infractions of Health and Safety requirements contained in this plan. • The SSO will investigate and immediately report all accidents to the Corporate Safety and Health Manager. • Site activities will be conducted only during daylight hours unless adequate portable lighting is mobilized to the project site. • The "buddy system" will be observed at all times during intrusive site investigations. A minimum of two people will work together and remain within eye sight or not greater than 100 ft. apart. 9.0 SITE CONTROL An exclusion zone, contaminant reduction zone and a support zone will be established whenever project activities require Level C or Level B personal protective equipment. Defined access and egress points will be established and personnel will enter only through those points. 15
