Safety and Health Plan <br />Proposed Distribution Center Stockton, California <br />February 18, 2022 Terracon Project No. NA227001 <br />21 <br />If emergency evacuation becomes necessary, the SSO will sound the emergency alarm (e.g. <br />support vehicle horn or compressed air horn). Personnel will safely shutdown all electrical and <br />mechanical equipment and quickly proceed to closest designated rally point. The SSO will then <br />account for each crew member on site. <br />In the event that a Terracon employee does not report to the designated rally point within 5 <br />minutes of the evacuation alarm, the SSO will perform an immediate assessment of site <br />conditions. If site conditions do not pose an immediate hazard to life or health, the SSO will initiate <br />search and rescue efforts utilizing two crew members attired in appropriate personal protective <br />equipment. <br />17.2 THERMAL STRESS <br />Heat Stress <br />Whenever ambient temperature exceeds 70 degrees F and personal protective equipment <br />requirements are Level D or Level D modified, the following heat stress monitoring and preventive <br />measures will be implemented: <br />Mobilize at least one gallon of water for each field employee during each day of site <br />activity. <br />Periodically observe personnel for signs of heat stress (excessive perspiration, flushed <br />skin, nausea, etc.). <br />Move affected workers out of contaminant zones, <br />Loosen protective clothing and permit them to rest <br />Have conscious, affected personnel drink at least one 8 oz. glass of cool water. <br />Check pulse; personnel should not return to work until pulse rate is less than 90 beats/min. <br />Heat Stress in Level C/Level B PPE <br />In addition to the above precautions, the following procedures will be implemented whenever the <br />ambient temperature exceeds 70o F and personal protective equipment requirements are Level <br />C or above. Ambient temperature will be measured with a dry bulb thermometer and percent cloud <br />cover will be estimated: <br />1.0 = No Clouds <br />0.75 = 25% Clouds <br />0.5 = 50% Clouds <br />0.25 = 75% Clouds <br />0.0 = 100% Clouds).
