Heat Illness Prevention Program 2.23 • Monitor yourself and others for signs of dehydration. If you feel dehydrated: o Follow Roux's Incident Notification Flowchart; o Rest in the shaded resting area; and o Drink water in small amounts, but frequently. 7. ACCESS TO SHADE Access to shaded areas will be provided to Roux staff, as needed. Employees are encouraged to use these areas when they feel overheated. Roux's SS/SHSO shall oversee the proper implementation of shaded areas and will communicate these locations on a daily basis with the Field Team. Depending on the Site, shaded areas can include the following: • Pop-up Tents • Canopies • Umbrellas • Structures mechanically ventilated or open to air movement o Garage • Conex-mounted RV canopies • Full and thick tree canopies that block direct sunlight • Buildings • Enclosed areas only if they provide cooling comparable to shade in open-air o Vehicles with air conditioning Shaded Area Requirements The shade shall be strong enough to cool employees down and other shadows should not be visible in the shade. The shade will be provided by Roux when the air temperature exceeds 80°F. If the temperature is less than 80°F, shade will be available and provided upon request. The SS/SHSO will monitor conditions to determine when the air will exceed (and is exceeding) 80°F. For most Sites, air will be monitored hourly and shade will be set up immediately if 80°F is exceeded. Shade shall be located as close as practical to areas where employees are working and is easily accessible. These areas will be considered safe and free from other hazards. Shaded areas should be large enough to accommodate all employees who are on a break, resting,or recovering without crowding. Should natural vegetation be used for shade, the SS/SHSO will evaluate shade for effectiveness. Field Staff Responsibilities Field Staff should take ordinary rest breaks in the shaded areas and monitor themselves for signs of heat stress, and go to the shaded area when they need to cool down. Any issues or problems with shaded areas should be reported to the SS/SHSO for the Site. If shaded areas are used for a preventative cool-down, the SS/SHSO will ensure the affected employees will remain in the shade until they begin to feel better. The SS/SHSO will continue to monitor the employees and ask them if 03/2025 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 14
