Heat Illness Prevention Program 2.23 a consistent practice for supervisors to check on employees. Pre-shift meetings to review high-heat procedures with employees will be carried out to emphasize work-rest schedules, drinking water, shade, etc. Extreme Heat Procedures When work-site temperatures equal or exceed 95°F, the employer will enact extreme heat procedures: • Employees will be closely observed by the SS/SHSO for signs of heat illness. New employees will be supervised for acclimatization. • Effective communication and monitoring will be ensured through the use of periodic check-ins via phone with the SS/SHSO. Communications between employees and Project Management (e.g., PP/PM)will be established and maintained. Mandatory 10-minute break periods are required for every two hours worked. SS/SHSO must enforce this rule. • Pre-shift safety tailgate meetings will occur to review procedures and to remind employees to drink water and take cool-down rests if needed. SS/SHSO shall remind employees to rest and drink water. Employees should drink more water than usual. 11. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES Roux is dedicated to providing prompt appropriate care for all employees who report or show symptoms of heat illness. If an employee shows signs of heat illness, they will be monitored and shall not be left alone or sent home without being offered first aid or emergency medical services. If on-site personnel require any medical treatment, the following steps will be taken: 1. Notify Roux's Project and Corporate Management Team for any work-related injury and/or illness occurrence,and communicate with the contracted Occupational Health Care Management Provider,AllOne Health (AOH), immediately following the notifications provided above. 2. Based on discussions with the Project Team, Corporate Management, and the AOH evaluation, if medical attention beyond onsite First Aid is warranted,transport the injured/ill person(IP)to the Urgent Care Center, or notify the Fire Department or Ambulance Emergency service and request an ambulance or transport the victim to the hospital, and continue communications with Corporate Management Team. An Urgent Care/Hospital Route map with locations and directions is provided within Site Specific Health and Safety Plans. 3. First aid medical support will be provided by onsite personnel trained and certified in First Aid, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Automatic External Defibrillation (AED), and Blood-Borne Pathogens (BBP)Awareness, until relieved by emergency medical services (EMS). 4. The SHSO and Project Manager will perform a Loss Investigation (LI), and the Project Team will complete the final Loss Report. 12. HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES Heat Stress Heat stress is a significant potential hazard and can be associated with heavy physical activity and/or the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in hot-weather environments. For these reasons, the company will provide potable drinking water and access to shade or other areas of relief(i.e., air-conditioned vehicles and work trailers). Supervisors, prior to supervising personnel in the field as well as all personnel involved with the fieldwork of a project, are trained in this HASP that includes preventing heat-related illnesses and the below procedures in response to heat-related symptoms and illness. Since much of our work is dependent upon environmental factors beyond our control, we must closely monitor air temperature and humidity and be aware of avoiding radiant heat sources and providing as much air circulation as possible wherever we work. Physical factors that need to be evaluated as part of our Job Safety Analysis(JSA)reviews include the level of physical activity and duration of work 03/2025 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 16
