Heat Stress Management Plan

This program is to establish minimum requirements for recognizing, evaluating and preventing heat-related
illnesses at work site.
1. General
Heat stress is due primarily to sustained e-ertion in a warm or hot environment. The stresses of heat on
the body manifest themselves in four common ailments: heat exhaustion, heat cramps, heat stroke, and
heat rash. The following factors may contribute to an individual susceptibility to heat stress:
 Temperature
 Humidity
 Movement of air
 Radiant temperature of the surroundings
 Clothing
 Physical activity
 Personal physical fitness
 Degree of acclimatization
 Rate of water and salt lost through perspiration and frequency of replenishment
 Dehydration
 Obesity
 Medication
2. Purpose in line with heat stress prevention
This Heat Stress Prevention Program has been developed to provide workers with the training and
equipment necessary to protect them from heat related exposures and illnesses.
Employees, to ensure full compliance with all features of the Saudi Aramco Construction Safety
Manual, Volume 2, Chapter 1-3 relating to Heat Stress requirements. Implementation of the Heat
Stress program includes providing readily available drinking water and sunshades and sufficient
To address these issues, LPD recommendations have been included in the plan.

13. Heat Stress Injuries & Illness
The major heat stress injuries and illnesses are:
Heat Cramp
Although heat cramps are not dangerous, they are an early warning sign for heat exhaustion and that the
body’s ability to cope with heat is being exceeded.
Causes:
 Occurs when the body loses too much salt through sweating.
 Attributed to electrolyte imbalance caused by sweating.
Symptoms include:
 Painful cramping of the muscles (e.g., arms, legs, or stomach).

 Hot, moist skin.
 Slightly elevated body temperature.
Treatment includes:
 Stop all activity.

 Rest in a cool SINOHYDRO area (e.g., designated break/recovery area).
 Loosen clothing.
 Drink water
 If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Another early indication that heat stress conditions may be present is the appearance of heat rash, which
is an itchy rash that occurs when the skin becomes swollen and plugs the sweat glands.
This is not a life-threatening condition.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is the body’s response to an excessive loss of water and salt by sweating. Heat
exhaustion poses a higher risk to older employees and those with coronary artery disease or emphysema
(a lung condition causing breathing impairment).
REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
Page 13 of 37
Causes:
 Occurs when the fluid/ salt lost is not replaced.

 Enlarged surface blood vessels.
Symptoms include:
 Heavy sweating.
 Intense thirst and cool, moist skin.
 Weakness and dizziness.
 Headache and blurred vision.
 Nausea and vomiting.
 Pale or flushed appearance.
 Mood changes such as irritability or confusion.
 Rapid pulse
 Fainting.
Treatment includes:
 Move the victim to a cool, shaded area (e.g., designated break, recovery area).
 Call for medical help
 Loosen the victim’s clothing
 Remove unnecessary clothing
 Shower or sponge the victim’s skin with cool water.
 Have the victim drink water or sports drinks that have electrolytes (e.g., Gatorade).
Notes;
 Heat exhaustion can rapidly progress to heat stroke if not properly treated. People suffering from heat
exhaustion must not be expected to take care for themselves because they may lack coordination and
become confused. Heat exhaustion requires fast response to prevent worsening heat stress problems.
 Remember that sweating only cools the body if the sweat evaporates. If t cannot evaporate, it cannot
cool. Thus, even under moderate or cool working conditions, it is possible to suffer heat stress if you
are inside protective clothing that interferes with your body’s cooling or working in high-humidity
conditions.
REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
Page 15 of 37
Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is a medical emergency and death or permanent tissue damage may occur if treatment is not
given promptly. Collapse is often misinterpreted as a heart attack or head injury.
Causes:
Occurs when the body no longer sweats and holds so much heat such that the body’s system of
temperature regulation fails and body temperature reaches dangerous levels.
 Body depleted of salt and water.
Symptoms include:
 Dry, hot skin with no sweating.
 High body temperature (above 40ºC [103ºF]).
 Strong, rapid pulse.
 Chills
 Weakness, nausea, vomiting.
 Mental confusion.
 Seizures or convulsions.
 Collapse, loss of consciousness.
Treatment includes
 Immediately call or arrange for professional help.

 Cool the victim down as much as possible while waiting for medical help:
 Move the victim immediately to a cool, shaded area.
 Loosen or remove heavy clothing.
 Have the victim lie flat with feet elevated.
 Fan and mist the victim’s body with water.
 Monitor the victim is breathing.
 Have the victim drink water or sport drinks that have electrolyte (e.g., Gatorade). Do not give fluids if
the victim is unconscious.
Notes:
 Sometimes, heat stroke occurs after the person has already developed heat exhaustion, but heat
stroke can also strike suddenly with little warning.
 Regardless of the worker’s protest, no person suspected of being ill from heat stroke shall be sent
home or left unattended unless/ until a medical doctor has specifically approved such an action.

16. Rest shelter location with Map.
The detailed layout plan is attached showing the increase in the existing rest shelter with location of rest
shelters in our projects, Heat stress affects not only humans but also construction projects because it
can increase the number of accidents and delay the completion of projects due to the lower productivity
of the workers that stems from their impaired physical and mental capabilities.
Shade is one of the most important heat stress controls for this climate. Radiant heat load can be
reduced as much as 10°C degrees when working in shade vs the direct sunlight. (Wind screens provide
some measure of shade yet allow significant radiant heat through and reduce ventilation.)
Radiant heat sources such as hot pipes in regular work areas should be insulated to reduce heat load.
Re-insulation, either temporary- or permanent should be done as soon as possible after repairs. For non-
routine work areas without insulation on hot sources temporary-insulating blankets should be used to
shield the sources while work is being done in the area.
As a minimum guideline, the shaded area must have a green net on all sides including the top to prevent
direct sunlight with seating arrangements to rest. Cool drinking water is to be provided with
glasses/flasks to drink. Necessary drainage arrangements are to be made to drain the excess water.
Using hands as a means to drink water is to be avoided. Food may only be consumed in the designated
dining facilities. (Attachment No 1)
17. Revised Policy. (No Water No Work Policy)

REQUISITION. No.:
Rev. No.: 03
Page 33 of 37
Sino Hydro has incorporated a new policy for working in extreme weather conditions, All workers and
staff shall follow this policy and disseminate it to all. (Attachment No -002)
18. Fluid Replacements.
One of the most important means of reducing the risk of heat stress is drinking plenty of fluids ( cold
water). When doing hard work in hot areas dehydration may occur due to heavy sweating before a
person even feels thirsty. It is recommended that at least 250 ml of fluids be consumed every 20
minutes to prevent dehydration and reduce the risk of illness. Refer to Guide on Work Practices to
Minimize the Effect of Heat Exposure
Cool water should be readily available during warm weather or in hot work areas.
Salt supplements are not recommended and must be taken upon advice of a doctor. A well balanced
diet should replace all necessary salts and electrolytes.
19. Self-Evaluation.
Each person while working in hot conditions (high temperatures) must be aware of the signs and
symptoms of heat stress related illnesses and early warning indications, so they can recognize them in
themselves or their colleagues. Typical symptoms include weak and fatigue, painful muscle cramps,
headache and dizzie, nauseated, heavy sweating.
The supervisor should be notified of any early indications and corrective action taken.
Heart rate (rapid pulse) is one of good indicators of the degree of heat stress that a person is
experiencing.
Most individuals can be trained to monitor their own heart rate. On jobs where heat stress is a concern
periodically pause work and immediately take a pulse for 15 seconds. Multiply this by 4 to get the heart
rate.
Healthy acclimatized workers should avoid prolonged work or environmental combinations that cause
their heart rate to exceed the recommended maximum heart rate, maximum heart rate when taken
during the first minute of rest. The heart rate should drop to 110 - 120 beats per minute following the
first minute of rest. Maximum heart rates should be below the following levels.
