Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br />HASP Supplement <br />X <br />Access to Shade <br />The SSO or designee is responsible for implementing the following for how shade <br />will be coordinated and provided when temperatures exceed 80° F / 26° C. <br />1. Access to shade must be allowed at all times. Before the start of work, the location of the shade <br />areas, the importance of taking shade breaks, recognizing the signs and symptoms of heat illness, <br />the schedule of shade breaks, and the location of shade break locations (if not portable) will be <br />addressed during each Tailgate Safety Meeting and site briefing. <br />NOTE: Where required by regulation, shade breaks will be taken at a minimum rate of 10 minutes <br />of shade for every two hour work period. As temperature increases shade breaks will increase in <br />frequency. See the Heat Index table below for Heat Index specific Action Levels defining shade <br />break frequency and duration. <br />2. The amount of shaded area must be able to accommodate all employees taking a recovery or <br />rest break including employees on meal breaks. The shaded area(s) don't need to provide shade to <br />accommodate all employees on a site or working a shift at the same time. An example includes <br />rotating routine breaks among employees. Also, additional portable shade structures can be erected <br />on an “as-needed” basis. <br />Employees must have enough shaded space so they can sit in a normal posture fully in the shade <br />with enough space to allow for sitting without being in physical contact with each other. Employees <br />who desire access to shade must not be deprived of it due to lack of space. <br />3. Employees who take a preventative cool-down rest; <br />(1) shall be monitored and asked if they are experiencing symptoms of heat related illness. (2) shall <br />be encouraged to remain in the shade. (3) shall not be ordered back to work until signs or symptoms <br />of heat illness have abated, but in no event less than 5 minutes in addition to the time needed to <br />access the shade. <br />If an employee exhibits signs or symptoms of heat illness while taking a preventative cool-down rest <br />the SSO will provide appropriate support (e.g. additional hydration and/or call to WorkCare) or <br />emergency response support as needed based on symptoms. <br />4. Shade structures will be relocated to follow the crew for moving tasks. Shade structures will be <br />placed within 50 feet of the work area, if practical. Shade structures must be no further than a short <br />walk away (e.g. 2-3 minutes) from the work area. This consideration becomes more critical as the <br />Ice will be provided by an onsite source or vendor service. Ice to be potable <br />Alternative potable ice source: <br />Food safe cleaning product for water cooler. <br />Sufficient amount of drinking water cups for each employee per dispenser. <br />Other items needed: <br />Drinking water dispenser & cups Location: <br />Procedures for Provisions for Potable Water Continued <br />Check which applies. Must check at least one box, or provide additional detail. <br />Ice will be purchased at the start of each day. <br />Rev 8 13 June 2019
