protection will be performed in the early morning or late afternoon, when practical; and <br /> • In hot weather, the number of workers required to wear protective clothing will be <br /> minimized, as practical. <br /> Symptoms of heat stress are: cramping; pale or clammy skin; tiredness or weakness; <br /> 7 <br /> headaches, nausea or dizziness; fainting; high body temperature; hot, red or dry skin; <br /> rapid, weak pulse; or unconsciousness. If symptoms of heat stress are noted for a worker, <br /> the worker will be evaluated by measuring the heart rate for 30 seconds. The heart rate <br /> should not exceed 110 beats per minute; if it does, the next work period will be shortened <br /> by one third. If the pulse rate is 100 beats per minute at the beginning of the next rest <br /> period, the following work cycle should be shortened by one third. <br /> When air temperatures are below 50°F, cold stress w ill be monitored for all workers. The <br /> most important factor in the prevention of cold stress is the wearing of adequate clothing. <br /> The SHSO will ensure that all workers wear adequate clothing. In addition, when <br /> working in cold temperatures, the following procedures will be observed: <br /> • Frequent breaks or rest periods will be provided and workers will have a shelter from <br /> wind and moisture; <br /> • Hot drinks may be provided in some cases; and <br /> • Opportunities to change wet clothing or to don additional clothing will be provided. <br /> Workers will self monitor themselves and their co-workers for signs of cold stress. <br /> Symptoms of cold stress are: shivering; numbness; low body temperature; drowsiness; <br /> and weakness. <br /> Employees shall wear sun screen at all times on exposed skin. <br /> Suspend field operations in the case of severe weather and/or intense lightning (20 <br /> second rule). For lightning seek shelter in project trailer or vehicle if caught in field from <br /> fast moving storm. No field activities until 30 minutes after last lightning strike in area. <br /> Slips, Trips, and Falls/Uneven Walking or Working Surfaces <br /> Protection from slip, trip and fall hazards will be provided through standard safety <br /> procedures including good housekeeping. Removing equipment and debris, and taking <br /> general precautions during site operations will be standard operating procedures. Workers <br /> will be apprised of any potential trip hazards through regularly scheduled health and <br /> safety meetings. Whenever possible, trip and fall hazards will be eliminated or clearly <br /> identified with yellow "caution" tape. Impalement hazards to workers will be neutralized <br /> as soon as they are identified. Historical buildings that may be structurally unstable shall <br /> not be entered. Three points of contact will be maintained when climbing on and off <br /> equipment or ladders. Subcontractors are responsible for the use of safety belts, lifelines, <br /> lanyards, safety nets, etc., for safeguarding their employees or lower-tier subcontractors <br /> BEC Mine Closure Project August 8, 2022 <br />
