Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br />HASP Supplement <br />X <br />6. Oversee the daily inspection and maintenance of coolers to ensure they are kept clean and in <br />good condition. <br />Potable Water Source & Location <br />Potable plumbed source Location: <br />Bottled water in chilled cooler Location:At drilling site <br />1. Proper hydration is critical to preventing heat related illness and injury. Project sites will maintain <br />an adequate supply of suitably cool, fresh and pure potable water on site/readily accessible to allow <br />each employee to consume 1 quart (1 L) of water per hour, ideally at a rate of four 8-oz (250 mL) <br />cups per hour. <br />NOTE: Fresh and pure water is defined as being "odor free and suitably cool". Where suitably cool <br />means water being cooler than the ambient temperature but not so cold as to cause discomfort or <br />prevent drinking. <br />NOTE: Electrolyte replacement drinks or “Sports Drinks” should be used to replace essential <br />minerals lost during sweating. Sports drinks should supplement water intake e.g. one “sport drink” to <br />every three bottles of water (3 waters : 1 sport drink) <br />2. During the Tailgate Safety Meeting and site briefings identify and communicate the type and <br />location of the water source. The water source must provide suitably cool, fresh, and pure water in <br />sufficient quantity for all employees at the site. Water shall be provided free of charge or expenses <br />will be reimbursed for employees. If the source is potable plumbed water do not complete Item 6 of <br />this Section. <br />3. Communicate to staff whether all water for the day will be provided at the start of the shift (e.g., 2 <br />gallons / 8 L per employee for an 8-hour shift), or how and when water will be replenished. <br />NOTE: A sufficient quantity of water must always be present and readily accessible to allow every <br />employee to consume at least 1 quart (1L) of water per hour. It is suggested to have a minimum of <br />three hours supply of water per employee on hand. <br />4. Water supplies must be positioned as close as reasonable possible to site workers. Placing water <br />only in shaded areas or by toilet facilities is not sufficient, particularly at large work sites or at multi- <br />story construction sites. Drinking water sources need to be close enough to workers to allow for <br />routine consumption per the rate noted above. <br />5. Inspect the coolers / water dispensers for cleanliness and replenishment of water and cooling ice <br />routinely based on temperatures and staff size. Cooling ice will be stored in clean coolers if added <br />directly to water dispensers. <br />NOTE: If the site temperature exceeds 90° F / 32° C the frequency of the cooler inspection will <br />increase to verify water remains cool and the water supply is maintained. <br />Procedures for Provisions for Potable Water <br />The SSO or designee will be responsible for implementing the following when <br />conditions at the site are anticipated to exceed 80 degrees (°) Fahrenheit (F) / <br />Rev 8 13 June 2019
