• If driving, watch carefully for hazards created by the earthquake (undermined roads, weak bridges/overpasses, fallen power lines or poles). While Working Inside Buildings or Structures: • Limit hardwired telephone use. Leave hardwired phones for emergency personnel as much as possible. Rely on information provided by emergency personnel or staff. • Limit cellphone use to extend battery life and avoid overloading cellphone networks. Use text messages for communication because they can be more reliably sent through the cellphone networks and reduce battery use. While Working Outside: • Check vehicles, equipment and buildings/trailers (if present)for any obvious damage. 7.5 Environmental Stressors, Heat Stress, Heat Exhaustion, and Heat Stroke To prevent potential heat illness, Cal/OSHA T8 CCR Section 3395 requires the employer to develop and implement a Heat Illness Prevention Plan for outdoor work areas when the outdoor work area temperature exceeds 80 degrees Fahrenheit (F). It is the employer's responsibility to monitor weather forecasts and ambient air temperatures, both prior to the work shift and during the shift. According to Weather Spark, records average minimum/maximum temperatures of 40/92OF during the year in Tracy, California, where the Site is located. To prevent potential heat illness, the following strategies will be implemented: • Adjusting personnel work/rest intervals; • Monitoring for symptoms of heat illness; • Providing shaded rest areas; • Providing cool potable water so that each employee has access to at least one quart per hour for the entire shift, free of charge; • Allowing for employees to acclimatize to the weather conditions and work demands; • Observe workers during a heat wave (i.e., when the temperature is at least 80T, and 10 degrees hotter than the average temperature of the five preceding days); • Implementing high heat procedures when the temperature reaches 95°F. Cal/OSHA T8 CCR Section 3395 requires that the Heat Illness Prevention Plan is implemented when the ambient temperatures exceed 80°F. All work shall be carried out in accordance with Roux's Heat Illness Prevention Program,which can be found within Appendix E. Additional information regarding heat illnesses is provided below. This can include, but is not limited to, access to shade that is sufficient in size to fit all workers who are on break; a car with air conditioning is acceptable,too. Preventative cool-down breaks shall be allowed at any time, and anyone taking such a break will be monitored for heat illness symptoms and not required to return to work until all symptoms (if present) of heat illness have disappeared. If necessary, first aid will be offered, but if symptoms are severe, emergency response procedures will be implemented per Section 6.3. Anyone who has shown symptoms of severe heat illness will not be sent home without being offered first aid or medical treatment. 3989.0001 S.104/HSP Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan I ROUX 122
