Site Health and Safety Plan 19133 East Liberty Road, Clements, California August 16, 2022 (Revised June 27, 2023) Page 22 Sharp Environmental Technologies, Inc. from insects such as bees and wasps can be fatal if a severe allergic reaction such as anaphylactic shock occurs. If the victim has medication to reverse the effects of the sting, it should be taken immediately. If the victim has a history of allergic reaction, they should be taken to the nearest medical facility. If the victim experiences a severe reaction, a constricting band should be placed between the sting and the heart. The bitten area should be kept below the heart if possible. Spiders: The black widow and brown recluse spiders are the most venomous. Personnel should avoid contact with spiders and areas where they may hide. A bite by a black widow or brown recluse spider will require immediate medical attention. Poisonous plants: Common examples include poison ivy and poison oak. Personnel should avoid contact. Long-sleeved shirts and pants will allow some protection against inadvertent contact. If contact occurs with a poisonous plant, all contaminated clothing should be removed and the exposed areas washed thoroughly with soap and water, followed by rubbing alcohol. Calamine lotion can be applied if the rash is mild. Medical advice should be sought if a severe reaction occurs or there is a known history of previous sensitivity. If any biological hazards are identified at the site, workers in the area should immediately notify the Site Health and Safety Supervisor (SHSS) and other site personnel. Workers who know they are sensitive to any specific biological hazard should not perform any task that would increase their risk of contact or an allergic reaction. Additionally, the SHSS should be informed of any heightened worker sensitivity to biological hazards. 6. AIR MONITORING PROTOCOLS 6.1 Monitoring During Site Operations Air monitoring at the site will be conducted by the SHSS or other designated person according to the requirements of this SHSP and during designated site operations. Air monitoring will be performed where there may be a question of employee exposure to hazardous concentrations of hazardous substances. In general, air monitoring will be performed inside the work zone for employees likely to have the highest exposures to hazardous substances and health hazards likely to be present above PELs when soil and other materials/containers contaminated with the COCs are moved or disturbed. The aforementioned air monitoring will cover SET related site operations and personnel (i.e., site operations and personnel under the direction and control of SET). If expressly required by this SHSP, the SHSS may also perform air monitoring for other specific designated tasks performed by subcontractors or other third parties at the site that otherwise are not under the direction and or control of SET. Under these circumstances, SET assumes no additional site safety responsibility nor direction nor control for the aforementioned subcontractors or third parties except for the specific and limited assignment of performing air monitoring during the specific site operations expressly covered in this SHSP. The air monitoring conducted by the SHSS or designee will be used to identify and quantify airborne levels of hazardous substances in order to determine the appropriate level of employee protection needed onsite and if possible to delineate work zones. Site-specific action level criteria must be established for all the instruments that may be used in making field health and safety determinations. Other data, such as the visible presence of contamination and/or odors, employee complaints, may also be used in making field health and safety decisions. As a result, the SHSS may establish exclusion
