Safety and Health Plan <br /> Premium California Orchards Tracy, California Irerracon <br /> January 8, 2021 Terracon Project No. NA207103 <br /> Adjusted Temperature Rest Period/Monitoring Frequency <br /> 90+ After 15 minutes <br /> 87.5-90 After 30 minutes <br /> 82.5-87.4 After 60 minutes <br /> 77.5-82.5 After 90 minutes <br /> 70.5-77.4 After 120 minutes <br /> Employees will return to work only after their pulse rate is below 90. Fluid replacement will be <br /> encouraged during each rest period. The use of stimulants and alcoholic beverages in off hours <br /> should be discouraged to prevent heat related illnesses. <br /> 18.4 Cold Stress <br /> Persons working outdoors in low temperatures are subject to cold stress, especially if the <br /> temperature is at or below freezing. Exposure to cold for a short period of time can cause severe <br /> injury to the surface of the body (frostbite), or result in profound general cooling, potentially <br /> resulting in clinical hypothermia and death. Areas of the body with high surface to volume area, <br /> such as fingers, toes, and ears are the most susceptible. In general, the body's response to cold <br /> stress progresses from frostbite to hypothermia. Recognition of the symptoms of cold stress is <br /> essential to worker protection when operating in low temperatures. <br /> Utilize cold weather clothing available from Terracon's personal protective equipment vendor, <br /> including thermal hardhat liners, gloves, and footwear traction devices to prevent slips and falls <br /> on slick and icy walking surfaces. <br /> 19.0 TRAFFIC CONTROL <br /> Worksites confront motorists with a situation they do not expect, cannot anticipate and find <br /> confusing. They also tend to create hazards with which the driver can collide. Worksites distract <br /> motorist's attention from the driving tasks and expose workers to oncoming traffic. <br /> Some inadequate traffic control measures that have led to worksite traffic accidents include: <br /> Inadequate advance warning <br /> Inadequate and inappropriate signs and messages <br /> Confusing messages <br /> Inadequate guidance through the work zone <br /> Conflicting pavement markings <br /> Unprotected hazard such as shoulder drop offs <br /> 26 <br />
