Safety and Health Plan Sandhu Property Tracy, California October 22, 2021 Terracon Project No. NA217074 21 17.0 PERSONAL INJURY The SSO and at least one other individual on site will be appropriately trained to administer first aid and CPR. A certificate issued by the American Red Cross, National Safety Council or equivalent will be considered appropriate. In the event of non-life threatening injuries such as minor cuts, burns, exhaustion, heat cramps, insect stings, etc., the affected employee will be removed to a safe location and appropriate first aid measures should be rendered. It is the responsibility of every employee to report all unsafe acts and incidents (equipment or facility damages as well as injury accidents) to their direct supervisor as soon as possible. Personnel who incur injuries not requiring immediate medical attention are instructed to call WorkCare at 888-449-7787. The affected supervisor will complete an Accident/Injury Investigation form within 48 hours of the incident, and forward it to their home office or enter it directly into Terracon’s Automated Claims Management System. Details will be shared with the client and/or contractor as may be required by contractual agreement. A root cause analysis will be prepared by the affected Office Manager. All reports must include written recommendations of actions the office will take to prevent a recurrence of the incident. For more serious injuries, the Site Safety Officer or designee will summon an ambulance to the project site. No attempt will be made by Terracon personnel to move the victim, without the aid and/or instructions of qualified medical personnel. Where air monitoring indicates the absence of toxic gases or vapors, the ambulance will be directed to the affected employee. If site conditions warrant and as time permits, the wheels of the ambulance will be decontaminated with high pressure wash. The SSO or designee will accompany the ambulance to the medical facility, and provide guidance concerning additional decontamination which may be required for the injured employee, ambulance or attendants. Whenever an injury occurs on sites with contamination requiring personal protective equipment greater than Level D modified, a minimum of two employees will don appropriate equipment and 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. 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 of contaminants of concern and provide assistance with additional decontamination if required.
