Access to shade must be allowed at all times. Before the start of work, the location of the shade <br /> areas, the importance of taking shade breaks, recognizing the signs and symptoms of heat illness, <br /> the schedule of shade breaks, and the location of shade break locations (if not portable)will be <br /> addressed during each Tailgate Safety Meeting and site briefing. <br /> NOTE: Where required by regulation, shade breaks will be taken at a minimum rate of 10 minutes <br /> of shade for every two hour work period. As temperature increases shade breaks will increase in <br /> frequency. See the Heat Index table below for Heat Index specific Action Levels defining shade <br /> break frequency and duration. <br /> 2. The amount of shaded area must be able to accommodate all employees taking a recovery or <br /> rest break including employees on meal breaks. The shaded area(s)don't need to provide shade to <br /> accommodate all employees on a site or working a shift at the same time. An example includes <br /> rotating routine breaks among employees. Also, additional portable shade structures can be erected <br /> on an "as-needed" basis. <br /> Employees must have enough shaded space so they can sit in a normal posture fully in the shade <br /> with enough space to allow for sitting without being in physical contact with each other. Employees <br /> who desire access to shade must not be deprived of it due to lack of space. <br /> 3. Employees who take a preventative cool-down rest; <br /> (1) shall be monitored and asked if they are experiencing symptoms of heat related illness. (2) shall <br /> be encouraged to remain in the shade. (3) shall not be ordered back to work until signs or symptoms <br /> of heat illness have abated, but in no event less than 5 minutes in addition to the time needed to <br /> access the shade. <br /> If an employee exhibits signs or symptoms of heat illness while taking a preventative cool-down rest <br /> the SSO will provide appropriate support (e.g. additional hydration and/or call to Workfare) or <br /> emergency response support as needed based on symptoms. <br /> 4. Shade structures will be relocated to follow the crew for moving tasks. Shade structures will be <br /> placed within 50 feet of the work area, if practical. Shade structures must be no further than a short <br /> walk away(e.g. 2-3 minutes)from the work area. This consideration becomes more critical as the <br /> temperature rises above 80° F (26 C). <br /> Rev 8 13 June 2019 <br />
