This Program will be communicated to all Project Manager, Construction Manager, Site Engineers,
Supervisors, HSE Lead, HSE Engineers, HSE Officers, Male nurses, laborers, subcontractors, service
providers, and visitors.
6.0 PREVENTION TO HEAT STRESS

The factors that should be considered in assessing the risk related to heat stress are:
External factors:
 Temperature.
 Humidity.
 Radiant Heat.
 Lack of Air Movement.
 Incorrect Clothing
Personal factors:
 Age.
 Weight.
 Fitness.
 Medication.
 Lack of sleep.
 Not acclimatized to the conditions.
 Alcohol in the system.
To prevent or minimize the exposure of employees during summer time to heat stress where
applicable, ASIA PRIME implements the following measures in its projects, sites and premises:
6.1 Work schedule

The working hours are determined for the works performed under the sun and in open
areas provided that labor shall not be present at the working site after 12:30 PM. No
business shall be resumed before 3:00 PM. The employer shall provide an appropriate
shelter for such Labor to rest therein during this period. (Article 1- decrees no 401-2015);
(12.30 to 3.00 PM from 15/06 to 15/09)
ASIA PRIME working hours during 2021 summer will be as follow:
From 6:30am to 12:30pm & from 3:00pm to 6:30pm
Doc. No.
Rev’d App’d
6.2 Thermal Work Limit (TWL) heat stress measurement

ASIA PRIME is measuring the Thermal Work Limit TWL heat stress index using an
accredited instrument by the Abu Dhabi Municipality depending on the location of the
project. This index is given using the unit Watt/Square meters (W/m2) and enables
appropriate management of safe work in heat by considering the information and table
in Appendix 1.
Measurements shall be done on daily basis and records kept available on site using
form Thermal Work Limit (TWL) Monthly Record Form
Instrument used to measure TWL
6.3 Provision of Cold Drinking Water

Employees shall have access to cold portable water. Water shall be provided in sufficient
quantity at the beginning of the work shift to provide one quart per employee per hour
for drinking the entire shift for a total of 2 gallons per employee per 8-hour shift.
Employees may begin the shift with smaller quantities of water if effective procedures
for replenishment of water during the shift have been implemented to provide
employees one quart or more per hour. Provision of large personal water container (of
at least one liter in size). Shared drinking cups, water bottles, or other such devices are
not allowed.
6.4 Provision of Electrolyte drinks

ASIA PRIME will provide electrolyte drinks that low in salt and glucose and approved by
Abu Dhabi Municipality to prevent dehydration.
6.5 Access to Shade / Rest Area

ASIA PRIME will provide shaded and rest areas on site. Employees suffering from heat
illness or believing a preventative recovery period is needed shall be provided access to
an area with shade that is either open to the air or provided with ventilation or cooling
for a period of no less than five minutes. Such access to shade shall be permitted at all
times. Shade areas can include trees, buildings, canopies, lean-tos, or other partial
and/or temporary structures that are either ventilated or open to air movement. The
interior of cars or trucks are not considered shade unless the vehicles are air conditioned
or kept from heating up in the sun in some other way.

loose-fitting -unless using machinery).
6.7 Acclimatization Program

New employees of ASIA PRIME and its main subcontractors , employees that have been
on vacation, and employees that are moving from a worksite that has climate control to
a worksite that has high temperatures will be given of 5-7 days for acclimatization before
starting hard work in a hot environment in summer.
 Communication and awareness campaigns related to heat stress Displaying leaflets and
posters everywhere in the workplace – including toilets and rest rooms (in different
language)

o Provide potable water in required quantities and that workers always
carry their water bottles and drink at least one glass of water every 15-
20 minutes
o Determine whether workers are drinking enough water.
o Arrange properly for workers who must wear personal protective clothing
(welders, etc.) and equipment that retains heat and restricts the
evaporation of sweat.
Doc. No.
Rev’d App’d
o Schedule hot jobs for the cooler part of the day; schedule routine
maintenance and repair work in hot areas for the cooler times of the day.
o Use heat index* (TWL) to schedule work / rest rotation for workers
according to temperature and humidity. Make sure the heat stress
messages are cascaded down to your co workers
 Workers are responsible for performing the following:

 Follow instructions and training for controlling heat stress.
 Be alert to symptoms in yourself and others.
 Determine if any prescription medications you’re required to take can
increase heat stress.
 Wear light, loose-fitting clothing that permits the evaporation of sweat.
 Wear light colored garments that absorb less heat from the sun.
 Drink small amounts of water – approximately 1 cup every 15 minutes.

Symptoms:
 Red blotches and extreme itchiness in areas persistently damp with
sweat.
 Prickling sensation on the skin when sweating occurs.
Treatment:

 Cramping in back, legs and arms.
Treatment:
 Stretch and massage muscles.
 Replace salt by drinking commercially available carbohydrate/electrolyte
replacement fluids.
7.3 Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion occurs when the body can no longer keep blood flowing to
supply vital organs and at the same time send blood to the skin to reduce
body temperature.
Symptoms:
 Weakness.
 Difficulty continuing work.
 Headache.
 Breathlessness.
 Nausea or vomiting.
 Feeling faint or actually fainting.
Treatment:
 Call FIRST AIDERS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY
Help the victim to cool off by:

 Resting in a cool place.
 Drinking cool water.
 Removing unnecessary clothing.
 Loosening clothing.
 Showering or sponging with cool water.
Doc. No.
Rev’d App’d
It takes 30 minutes to cool the body down once a worker becomes overheated
and suffers heat exhaustion.
7.4 Heat Stroke

Heat stroke occurs when the body can no longer cool itself and body
temperature rises to critical levels.
Symptoms:
 Confusion.
 Irrational behavior.
 Loss of consciousness.
 Convulsions.
 Lack of sweating.
 Hot, dry skin.
 Abnormally high body temperature.
Treatment:
 Call FIRST AIDERS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY
Provide immediate, aggressive, general cooling.

 Immerse victim in tub of cool water or;
 Place in cool shower; or
 Spray with cool water from a hose; or
 Wrap victim in cool, wet sheets and fan rapidly.
 Transport victim to hospital.

ASIA PRIME during high temperature season will implement the following protocol in case of
dehydration or heat illness:
 First aid or medical treatment is readily available if an employee begins to feel symptoms of
heat illness or dehydration; Emergency Contact numbers are available/posted at sites, and
 fellow employees and/or supervisors know how to call for additional emergency medical
assistance if required or if the employee complains of chest pains, or has symptoms of heat
stroke.(refer to Appendix 2 – Emergency Response Flow Chart)
10.0 INSPECTION, INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING

HSE teams on site conduct regular inspections as per Inspection checklist form in the different sites
at least once every week during summer time to ensure that the heat stress program is functional in
the proper way as required in this SOP and as per legal and other regulatory requirements.
All heat injuries and illness will be investigated and reported as per AD PORT HSE Requirements.
11.0 HEALTH SURVEILLANCE

ASIA PRIME ensures that health surveillance program related to heat stress is in place and especially
the tests related to the urine and blood pressures and medications the employee is taken that affect
the resistance to heat stress.

13.0 REVIEW
The HSE Lead will periodically review this program for compliance with all applicable regulatory
standards. Updates will be provided to all employees.
APPENDIX 1: THERMAL WORK LIMIT AND HEAT STRESS INDEX
Heat stress index
Definition:
Thermal work limit is a heat stress index designed for self-paced, well hydrated, acclimatized
workers. It gives a measure of the maximum safe work rate for the important environmental
conditions present (DB, WB, GT and wind speed). If TWL is too low (i.e.: very harsh conditions) even
low rates of work cannot be safely carried out continuously without proper controls.
The heat stress index is defined as the relation of the amount of evaporation (or perspiration)
required as related to the maximum ability of the average person to perspire (or evaporate fluids
from the body in order to cool themselves)
