Arcadis Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) <br /> HASP Supplement <br /> Procedures for Provisions for Potable Wate <br /> The SSO or designee will be responsible for implementing the following when <br /> conditions at the site are anticipated to exceed 80 degrees (°) Fahrenheit (F) / <br /> 1. Proper hydration is critical to preventing heat related illness and injury. Project sites will maintain <br /> an adequate supply of suitably cool, fresh and pure potable water on site/readily accessible to allow <br /> each employee to consume 1 quart (1 L)of water per hour, ideally at a rate of four 8-oz(250 mL) <br /> cups per hour. <br /> NOTE: Fresh and pure water is defined as being 'odor free and suitably cool'. Where suitably cool <br /> means water being cooler than the ambient temperature but not so cold as to cause discomfort or <br /> prevent drinking. <br /> NOTE: Electrolyte replacement drinks or"Sports Drinks" should be used to replace essential <br /> minerals lost during sweating. Sports drinks should supplement water intake e.g. one "sport drink"to <br /> every three bottles of water(3 waters : 1 sport drink) <br /> 2. During the Tailgate Safety Meeting and site briefings identify and communicate the type and <br /> location of the water source. The water source must provide suitably cool, fresh, and pure water in <br /> sufficient quantity for all employees at the site. Water shall be provided free of charge or expenses <br /> will be reimbursed for employees. If the source is potable plumbed water do not complete Item 6 of <br /> this Section. <br /> 3. Communicate to staff whether all water for the day will be provided at the start of the shift(e.g., 2 <br /> gallons/8 L per employee for an 8-hour shift), or how and when water will be replenished. <br /> NOTE: A sufficient quantity of water must always be present and readily accessible to allow every <br /> employee to consume at least 1 quart(1 L)of water per hour. It is suggested to have a minimum of <br /> three hours supply of water per employee on hand. <br /> 4. Water supplies must be positioned as close as reasonable possible to site workers. Placing water <br /> only in shaded areas or by toilet facilities is not sufficient, particularly at large work sites or at multi- <br /> story construction sites. Drinking water sources need to be close enough to workers to allow for <br /> routine consumption per the rate noted above. <br /> 5. Inspect the coolers/water dispensers for cleanliness and replenishment of water and cooling ice <br /> routinely based on temperatures and staff size. Cooling ice will be stored in clean coolers if added <br /> directly to water dispensers. <br /> NOTE: If the site temperature exceeds 90° F/32° C the frequency of the cooler inspection will <br /> increase to verify water remains cool and the water supply is maintained. <br /> 6. Oversee the daily inspection and maintenance of coolers to ensure they are kept clean and in <br /> good condition. <br /> Potable Water Source & Location <br /> Potable plumbed source Location: <br /> X Bottled water in chilled cooler Location: At drilling site <br /> Drinking water dispenser & cups Location: <br /> Rev 8 13 June 2019 <br />
