Site Health and Safety Plan 19133 East Liberty Road, Clements, California August 16, 2022 (Revised June 27, 2023) Page 17 Sharp Environmental Technologies, Inc. Condition Signs Symptoms Response shock. Attempt to comfort and cool the victim. The following procedures will be used to reduce the potential that workers will experience symptoms of heat stress: • Use administrative controls. Tasks will be scheduled to avoid heavy physical activity during the hottest period of the day and work will be performed in the shade whenever possible. Additional workers will be used during hot periods and the pace of work reduced whenever possible. • Acclimatize the body. Workers will be allowed a period of adjustment to make heat exposure endurable. • Drink liquids to replace body water lost during sweating. Workers will be encouraged to drink at least 1 cup of fluid every 20 minutes. To promote such consumption, fluids (i.e., water) will be located at or near where the work is being performed. • Implement a work/rest regimen. This regimen will be increased (i.e., the frequency and duration of rest breaks) as needed to reduce overall heat exposure. • Wear appropriate clothing. Worker clothing should be light in weight and in color, loose fitting where possible, and made of cotton or a synthetic fabric that allows perspiration to be wicked away from the skin to evaporate. Apply sunscreen to exposed areas if needed. 5.5.9 Underground and Overhead Utilities The location of underground pipes, electrical conductors, and water and sewer lines must be determined before intrusive soil work is performed. Lines must be de-energized, blocked out, or blinded where feasible. Work is not permitted within 15 feet of any high voltage overhead power line. Equipment with articulated upright booms or masts will not be permitted to pass within 20 feet of an overhead utility line while the boom is in the upright position. 5.5.10 Materials and Equipment Handling The movement and handling of equipment and materials on the site can pose a risk to workers in the form of muscle strains and minor injuries. These injuries can be avoided by using safe handling practices, proper lifting techniques, and proper personal safety equipment such as steel-toed boots and sturdy work gloves. Where practical, mechanical devices will be used to assist in the movement of equipment and materials, workers will not attempt to move heavy objects by themselves without using appropriate mechanical aids such as drum dollies or hydraulic lift gates. 5.5.11 Housekeeping and Sanitation In order to promote safe and efficient work conditions, all work areas will be kept clean and free of debris. All hand tools will be kept out of the immediate work area until they are needed for use. Potable water will be made available for first aid, drinking, and personal hygiene purposes.
