Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br />HASP Supplement <br /> If schedule modifications are not possible, the Heat Illness Prevention Plan will be <br />reviewed before work resumes. At a minimum, procedures for heat illness <br />prevention, the provisions of the high heat procedures, the weather forecast and <br />emergency response protocols will be reviewed. <br />Employees will be provided with additional water and rest breaks and will be <br />observed more frequently. During work activities and rest breaks, employees will <br />be observed for signs and symptoms of heat illness. <br />All employees will maintain frequent communication with the SSO or designee, <br />who will be monitoring workers for possible symptoms of heat illness. In the event <br />of large project sites where the SSO may be unable to be near the workers (to <br />directly observe or communicate with them), then communication via a cell phone <br />or radio may be used for this purpose provided reception in the area is reliable. <br />Procedure for Emergency Response <br />Emergency procedures include recognizing the symptoms of heat related illness. A <br />critical step also involves ensuring that effective communication is established <br />"Heat Wave" Procedures <br />A “heat wave” as defined by NOAA, is a period of abnormally and uncomfortably <br />hot and unusually humid weather.” Typically, a heat wave lasts 2 or more days. A <br />"Heat Wave" as defined for the purposes of this Standard is when temperatures <br />are sustained above 80° F / 26° C. <br />During a heat wave or if site conditions indicate the potential for “Extreme Caution”, <br />"Danger" or “Extreme Danger” per the NOAA Heat Index Table the following steps <br />will be taken: <br />Work schedules will be modified to protect workers from heat illnesses. The SSO <br />or designee in coordination with the project team, will use their Stop Work Authority <br />and evaluate the following actions and document the action in the daily field log <br />1. Modify work hours to exclude the hottest parts of the day. <br />2. Reschedule work or specific tasks that require strenuous exertion or Stop <br />Work. <br />Rev 8 13 June 2019
