thermal protective clothing such as wind and/or moisture resistant outerwear is <br /> recommended to be worn. <br /> If work is performed continuously in the cold at or below-7°C (20°F), including <br /> wind chill temperature, heated warming shelters (tents, cabins, company <br /> vehicles, rest rooms, etc.) shall be made available nearby and the worker should <br /> be encouraged to use these shelters at regular intervals, the frequency <br /> depending on the severity of the environmental exposure. The onset of heavy <br /> shivering, frostnip, the feeling of excessive fatigue, drowsiness, irritability or <br /> euphoria are indications for immediate return to the shelter. When entering the <br /> heated shelter, the outer layer of clothing shall be removed and the remainder <br /> of the clothing loosened to permit sweat evaporation. A change of dry work <br /> clothing shall be provided as necessary to prevent worker from returning to <br /> their work with wet clothing. Dehydration, or the loss of body fluids, occurs in <br /> the cold environment and may increase the susceptibility of the worker to cold <br /> injury due to a significant change in blood flow to the extremities. Warm sweet <br /> drinks and soup should be provided at the work site to provide caloric intake <br /> and fluid volume. The intake of coffee should be limited.

(i.e., drilling, excavation, trenching) <br /> 11.10 Cleaning Equipment <br /> Skin and eye contact with methanol, Alconox or other cleaning substances can <br /> occur while cleaning equipment. This hazard can be reduced with the use of <br /> Nitrile butyl rubber or neoprene gloves and the use of safety goggles. <br /> 12.0 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION <br /> Work areas (exclusion zones) will generally be staged within short walking distances <br /> of each other so that personnel in one area may quickly and directly summon <br /> assistance from other work areas. <br /> The telephone will be the primary means of communicating with sources of assistance <br /> not in the immediate work area. The FSS shall have a cellular phone on-site for uses <br /> in an emergency. It will be the responsibility of the FSS as Project Field Staff to <br /> familiarize themselves with the locations of telephones that will be accessible during <br /> emergencies. <br /> Avalon Environmental Consultants 9627-001-6 <br /> 1W Kashmar Singh Joes Truck Plaza <br /> January 9,2001 21 Lathrop,California <br />
