SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT <br /> Other Site Hazards <br /> July 7, 2023 <br /> To mitigate hazards associated with bees/wasps: <br /> • Avoid known locations of bees/wasps. <br /> • Keep your eyes and ears open for swarms. <br /> • Look for insects flying in and out of openings such as a crack in the wall, an open pipe end, or a <br /> well vault lid. <br /> • Be cautious of tall grass as some bees build their hives at ground level. <br /> • Be cautious of pointed structures, especially in barns, storage sheds, and outbuildings as bees <br /> often build hives in those structures. <br /> • Avoid wearing citrus or floral aftershaves or perfumes as bees/wasps may be attracted to these <br /> odors. <br /> • Wear light colored clothing as insects are generally attracted to dark colors. <br /> • Fill in cracks or crevices and close open ends of pipes when bees/wasps are not around. <br /> • Leave the area as quickly as possibly if a nest has been disturbed. Do not retrieve nearby <br /> belongings. Do not stand still. Do not try to fight them. <br /> If stung by a bee or wasp, wash the area with soap and water, and may use Benadryl from the First Aid <br /> kit. If you have been stung over 15 times or are having symptoms other than pain and swelling, seek <br /> emergency medical assistance immediately. Staff that know they are allergic to insect stings should <br /> discuss their allergic reactions and controls (e.g., EpiPen®)with the Project Manager or SHSO. <br /> 5 Stantec <br /> 5.3 <br />
