Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br />HASP Supplement <br />If determined to be a non-emergency (e.g. heat cramps or heat stress) the SSO will contact <br />WorkCare Injury Assistance Hotline 1-888-449-7787 for 1st aid medical assistance. In the <br />event of the injury being an emergency, or potentially (e.g. Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke) contact <br />emergency support services. <br />2. When an employee displays possible signs or symptoms of heat illness and no trained first aid <br />worker or supervisor is available at the site, emergency service providers will be called. <br />3. Emergency service providers will be called immediately if an employee displays signs or <br />symptoms of advanced stage heat related illness like Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke (loss of <br />consciousness, incoherent speech, convulsions, red and hot face) or does not get better after <br />drinking cool water in intervals of 8 ounces every 15 minutes and resting in the shade. While the <br />ambulance is in route, assign a person to care for the injured, first aid will be administered (cool the <br />worker by placing them in the shade, remove excess layers of clothing, place ice pack in the armpits <br />and groin area and fan the person). A worker determined to be suffering an advanced stage of heat <br />related illness will not be allowed to leave the site except under medical care, or as directed by a <br />medical professional. <br />4. If an employee displays signs or symptoms of advanced stage heat related illness (loss of <br />consciousness, incoherent speech, convulsions, red and hot face), and the work site is located more <br />than 20 minutes away from a hospital, call emergency service providers, communicate the signs and <br />symptoms of the victim, and request an Air Ambulance if necessary. <br />Revisions, notes, amendments, and clarifications specific to this plan will be <br />detailed in the space below: <br />The SSO or designee is responsible for implementing the following procedures for <br />evaluating and providing care for a sick employee: <br />1. When an employee displays signs or symptoms consistent with the heat related illness, the SSO or <br />designee will check the sick employee and determine whether resting in the shade and drinking cool <br />water will suffice or if emergency service providers will need to be called. <br />Procedure for Handling a Sick Employee Continued <br />Rev 8 13 June 2019
