Safety and Health Plan <br />Proposed Distribution Center Stockton, California <br />February 18, 2022 Terracon Project No. NA227001 <br />14 <br />Remove all constricting clothing or jewelry from the bite site because swelling may occur. Remove <br />shoes if bitten on the leg. <br />Do not apply a tourniquet. <br />Clean the wound if possible. <br />Do not pack wound in ice or apply heat. <br />Do not give the victim a sedative or alcohol. <br />Do not waste time capturing or killing the snake. <br />Do not cut into the bite area; you might damage important nerves, tissues or muscles <br />Rodents <br />The possibility of encountering rodents exists. Avoid walking in areas where rodents may nest or <br />hide. When walking, always look ahead for signs of rodents. Employees should make as much <br />noise as possible when approaching an area to allow time for the rodent to leave. Use a long <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
