4.5 <br />4.6 <br />Qualified Exposure Risk: Moderate <br />Primacy "Control": Awareness/Avoidance <br />Hazard: Contact with insects, and animals likely to be present at the site <br />should be avoided. Stinging and biting insects, including bees, spiders, and <br />ticks, can cause extreme discomfort and/or serious allergic responses. Insect <br />bites are generally not dangerous unless they are from a poisonous insect. <br />The primary concern with animal bites and scratches is the potential for <br />infection and/or rabies. Snake or scorpion bites can also be dangerous, but <br />more from infection or trauma than the toxins injected by the snake or <br />scorpion. <br />Controls : Before beginning fieldwork each day, observe the work area for <br />the potential presence of insects and inhabitant reptiles and take measures <br />necessary to minimize the potential for contact. If you are allergic to bee or <br />wasp stings, be sure to have the appropriate first aid available (e.g., an epi - <br />pen) on the project. If you are stung, administer first aid and seek immediate <br />medical attention. <br />Be sure a reptile or animal bite victim obtains medical attention quickly if a <br />bite or scratch occurs, especially if there is a potential that it was poisonous. <br />In the meantime, administer First Aid by scrubbing the wound with soap and <br />water, and rinsing thoroughly under running water. Dry off and place a clean <br />bandage on the wound. Victims of these bites should lie down and remain <br />calm and motionless; cold packs should be applied and medical attention <br />sought immediately. <br />RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS <br />Types)/Source: Not Applicable <br />Qualified Exposure Risk: Unremarkable <br />Primary "Control": Not Applicable <br />THERMAL HAZARDS <br />Types)/Source: <br />• Temperature -extreme environments and use of PPE resulting in heat <br />stress <br />Fires/ explosions <br />• <br />COSTERA WASTE &ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. 1E) MAY 4, 2021 <br />
