Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br />HASP Supplement <br />Acclimatization of Personnel for Heat Stress Prevention <br />The degree to which personnel have been able to physiologically adjust or <br />acclimatize to working under hot conditions affects ability to safely do work. <br />Acclimatized individuals generally have lower heart rates and body temperatures <br />than unacclimated individuals, and sweat sooner and more profusely. This enables <br />them to maintain lower skin and body temperatures at a given level of <br />environmental heat and work loads than unacclimated workers. Acclimatization can <br />occur after a few days of exposure to the hot work environment. OSHA/NIOSH <br />suggests an acclimatization period of 2-3 days for fit personnel. One the 1st day <br />personnel should spend 50% of the day exposed to / working in the hot <br />environment and increasing the amount of work 10-20% based on personnel <br />response to the hot environment and work load. <br />Authority and Implementation <br />The following designated individuals have authority and responsibility for <br />implementing the provisions of this program at the project work site indicated <br />above. <br />Project Manager Drew Feucht <br />Site Safety Officer (SSO)Shawn Roberts <br />Purpose and Scope Date Completed 6/8/2022 <br />The purpose of this document is to serve as a planning tool and implementation <br />guide to assist the project team, onsite personnel, and the Site Safety Officer <br />(SSO) or other designated responsible party to comply with the requirements set <br />forth by Cal/OSHA Title 8 CCR 3395 Heat Illness Prevention Standard and the <br />Washington State Outdoor Heat Exposure Regulations 296-62-09510 thru <br />09560. <br />NOTE: This HASP Supplement is required to be used in California and Washington states. The <br />Arcadis Health and Safety Standards ARC HSIH013 Heat Stress Prevention, and ARC HSGE008 <br />Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) must accompany this HASP Supplement. To <br />completely address the regulatory requirements for work in CA and WA states these standards are <br />required to be used in association with the project-specific HASP and this supplement. <br />The scope of this HIPP applies to Arcadis projects which include, but are not <br />limited to: outdoor operations such as contractor oversight, construction, refining, <br />oil and gas extraction, asbestos removal, and hazardous waste site activities and <br />interior work particularly tasks which require employees to wear PPE which can <br />increase the risk for heat stress for the wearer. This HIPP provides guidance to <br />prevent or reduce the risk of work-related heat illness. This HASP Supplement <br />provides site specific instructions for actions to be completed at the project site. <br />Project sites in other states and provinces are expected to use this HASP <br />Supplement as a Best Management Practice to prevent heat related illness <br />injuries. <br />Project Site Name Republic Services Forward Landfill <br />SSO Designated Elena Strom <br />Rev 8 13 June 2019
