Safety and Health Plan <br />Tracy Ridge • Tracy, California <br />March 27, 2019 • Terracon Project No. NA187052.1 lierracon <br />handled shovel, heavy equipment or other tools when moving or lifting objects that could be used <br />by nests. Never reach under or behind objects or into other areas where rodents may hide. Look <br />before placing your hands or feet anywhere, and do not put your hands or feet into places you <br />cannot see. <br />Rodents are potential hosts of hantaviruses which can kill humans if infected. Symptoms may <br />include flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle pain, headache, lethargy two to three <br />weeks after exposure. Hanta virus pulmonary syndrome is characterized by sudden shortness of <br />breath and pulmonary edema. There are no known vaccines for hantavirues. Employees <br />exhibiting the symptoms should seek medical help immediately. The best prevention against <br />hanta virus is to eliminate or minimize contact with rodents. <br />10.0 ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES <br />Before drilling/probing are permitted, underground utilities will be located and marked. <br />• The SSO will hold daily safety briefings at the beginning of each day of site activity. <br />If site activities interrupt the normal flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, appropriate <br />barricades will be erected around the project site. Safety orange work vests will be worn by <br />personnel working within 10 feet of any active roadway or when vehicles or mobile equipment <br />are present onsite. <br />The SSO will ensure that unauthorized personnel do not enter the work zone. Authorized <br />visitors will be briefed on site contaminants, personal protective equipment requirements and <br />the decon provisions of this Plan. <br />The SSO will continually inspect the work area for infractions of Health and Safety <br />requirements contained in this plan. <br />The SSO will investigate and immediately report all accidents to the Corporate Safety and <br />Health Manager. <br />Site activities will be conducted only during daylight hours unless adequate portable lighting <br />is mobilized to the project site. <br />The "buddy system" will be observed at all times during intrusive site investigations. A <br />minimum of two people will work together and remain within eye sight or not greater than 100 <br />ft. apart. <br />11.0 SITE CONTROL <br />15
