Oxygen Deficiency <br /> May cause dizziness. <br /> Heat Stress and Noise <br /> A hazard exists when individuals are required to work in warm temperatures, particularly <br /> while wearing impervious protective clothing. When the ambient air temperature exceeds <br /> 65 degrees, heat stress may become a problem. If these conditions are encountered, the <br /> following precautions on the next will be taken: <br /> * During day-to-day field work, the on-site supervisor will be alert for the signs land <br /> symptoms of heat stress. <br /> Field workers will be observed for the following signs and symptoms of heat stress. <br /> * profuse sweating, or complete lack of sweating, <br /> * skin color change, <br /> * increased heart rate, <br /> * body temperatures in excess of 100 degrees as measured by thermometers, and <br /> * vision problems. <br /> Any team member who exhibits any of these signs or systems will be removed immediately <br /> from field work and be requested to consume electrolyte fluid or cool water while resting <br /> in a shaded area. The individual will be instructed to rest until the symptoms are <br /> recognizable. If the symptoms appear critical, persist or get worse, immediate medical <br /> attention will be sought. <br /> When working around mechanical equipment the potential exists for exposure to excessive <br /> noise. To deal with the health hazards of excessive noise, ear plugs will be provided. <br /> PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REOUIREMEN <br /> This section specifies personal protective equipment required for the various tasks of this <br /> project. <br /> A:\HEAL&SAF\TANK.001 29 January 1993 <br /> 6 <br />
