LFR, Inc. <br /> in the field difficult. Adequate cold weather gear, especially head and foot wear, is <br /> required under these conditions. Workers should be aware of signs and symptoms of <br /> hypothermia and frostbite, as well as first aid for these conditions. These are <br /> summarized in the table below. <br /> Condition Signs Symptoms Response <br /> Hypothermia Confusion, slurred Sleepiness, Remove subject to warm area, <br /> speech, slow confusion, such as truck cab; give warm <br /> movement. warm feeling. fluids; warm body core as <br /> rapidly as possible; remove outer <br /> clothing and wrap torso in <br /> blankets with hot water bottle or <br /> other heat source. Get medical <br /> attention immediately. <br /> Frostbite Reddish area on Numbness or Place affected extremity in <br /> skin, frozen skin. lack of feeling warm, not hot, water, or wrap in <br /> on exposed warm towels. Get medical <br /> skin. attention. <br /> 6.5 Noise <br /> Noise may result primarily from the operation of drill rigs and mechanical equipment. <br /> The use of heavy equipment may generate noise above the Cal/OSHA permissible <br /> exposure limit for noise of 90 dBA for an 8-hour time-weighted average. Workers will <br /> wear appropriate hearing protection when operating or working near heavy equipment. <br /> If loud noise is present or normal conversation becomes difficult, hearing protection in <br /> the form of ear plugs, or equivalent, will be required. <br /> 6.6 Electric Shock <br /> Electrical equipment to be used during field activities will be suitably grounded and <br /> insulated. Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFC1), or equivalent, will be used with <br /> electrical equipment to reduce the potential for electrical shock. <br /> Lockout/tagout procedures in accordance with 8 CCR 3314 will be conducted before <br /> activities begin on or near energized or mechanical equipment that may pose a hazard <br /> to site personnel. Workers conducting the operation will positively isolate the piece of <br /> equipment, lock/tag the energy source, and verify effectiveness of the isolation. Only <br /> employees who perform the lockout/tagout procedure may remove their own <br /> tags/locks. Employees will be thoroughly trained before initiating this procedure. <br /> Page 10 KMEP-Mtnkton-HASPvLdoc:LFR <br />
