SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Purpose and Approval


Our work can be hazardous, and it is imperative that we never forget that! It is the purpose of this
Health and Safety Plan (HASP) to proactively aid Stantec employees in:
 Identifying and understanding the risks/hazards they are likely to encounter at the site.
 Mitigating those risks/hazards.

Stantec’s policy is to complete our work on this site without any type of incident (injury, illness,
impact to the environment, impact to property and equipment). In order to achieve this goal,
the project team will work together to perform an effective hazard assessment. The team will
then establish appropriate precautions and communicate these daily among project staff. Staff
will be responsible for communicating changing field conditions to the project management so
these conditions and appropriate precautions may be re-evaluated as needed. Staff will
implement STOP WORK AUTHORITY at any time they believe that conditions may be inherently
unsafe or might cause damage to property or harm to the environment. Staff may refuse to
participate in work they believe will be unsafe. If such conditions exist, staff will communicate
immediately with the Project Manager to resolve the situation. We expect all subcontractors
and project personnel to share this goal.

The health and safety guidelines in this HASP were prepared exclusively for this site. This HASP will
be amended (with changes recorded on the Health and Safety Plan Modification Log) if site
conditions, scope of work, training dates, personnel, or other critical items change before the
scheduled HASP review date above. This HASP is intended to be used in conjunction with the
Stantec Field Binder, which will be available on site. Contents of this binder are listed in
Attachment 1.

“Zero Tolerance for Incidents of ANY Kind.
Work Together to Ensure A SAFE and High Quality Project”

This HASP has been developed for the purpose of proactively aiding Stantec employees in identifying,
understanding, and mitigating the risks/hazards they are likely to encounter at the site. This HASP may also
be used as a guidance document by properly trained and experienced Stantec subcontractors and
clients; Stantec is readily available to assist subcontractors in identifying and addressing their employees’
risks; however, sub-contractors and other contractors at the site must develop their own HASP to address
the hazards faced by their own employees.

All parties are required to review Attachment 2, Preventing Serious Injury & Fatalities Field Guide prior to
commencing work. All parties conducting site activities are required to coordinate their activities and
practices with the Stantec Site Health and Safety Officer (SHSO). Stantec has provided a copy of this HASP
to contractors in the interest of full disclosure of hazards of which we may be aware and to satisfy Stantec's
responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication
standard. Similarly, contractors are required to inform Stantec of any hazards of which they are aware or
that the contractor's work on site might possibly pose to Stantec employees including (but not limited to)
the Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals the contractor may bring on site. This HASP should NOT be
understood by contractors to provide information on all of the hazards to which a contractor's employees
may be exposed as a result of their work. Stantec claims no responsibility for use of this HASP by others for
purposes unrelated to this project.

Your signature below confirms the following: you have read and understand the hazards and associated
mitigation measures discussed in this HASP; you have received training and medical surveillance according
to this HASP and the OSHA Standard on Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (29 CFR
1910.120), as applicable; you understand that sub-contractors and contractors must develop their own
HASP for their employees; and you understand that you could be prohibited by the SHSO or other Stantec
personnel from working on this project for not complying with any aspect of this HASP.

(All Stantec and subcontractor personnel must sign.)

1.4 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES: EVACUATION

In the event of an on-site or off-site emergency requiring site evacuation (e.g., fire, release,
explosion, etc), the following procedures will be followed:

 Stop Work and notify the SHSO.


 Evacuate the site and go to the emergency meeting location if safe conditions exist. The
generic evacuation point is at traffic circle near the Alba Village Shopping Center. If
safe conditions prevent evacuation to this location, move upwind, away from the source
of the emergency. Maintain a safe distance from the source.
 Check in with the SHSO at the emergency meeting location. The SHSO will take
attendance once all personnel have gathered.
 Dial the appropriate emergency response number(s). State the problem clearly and
completely and remain on the line until dismissed by the operator.
 Only attempt extinguishing small fires with portable dry chemical equipment on-hand.
When in doubt, emergency response personnel shall be notified.
 Do not reenter the emergency site without specific approval from emergency response
personnel.

Randomly scheduled evacuation drills may be conducted at any time during field activities.

1.5 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES: INJURY OR ILLNESS

If an injury or illness occurs, take the following action:

 Stop Work, stabilize the situation, and secure the site.


 Administer First Aid for the person immediately using a first aid and blood-borne
pathogens kit.
 Determine if emergency response (fire/ambulance) is necessary. If so, call appropriate
emergency response numbers on closest available phone. Provide the location of the
injured person and other details as requested. Drive the individual to the hospital only if it
makes sense.
 If emergency decontamination is required:
o Immediately remove any contaminated personal protective equipment (PPE) or
clothing.
o If possible, wash contaminated area with mild soap and water.
o Use eyewash station if necessary.
o Personnel assisting the contaminated individual will don the proper PPE to avoid
unnecessary exposures.
 For all injuries or illness, even minor cuts, scratches, and bruises, notify the SHSO
immediately. The SHSO is responsible for initiating incident reporting procedures
immediately after the victim(s)/site have been stabilized. The SHSO will assume
responsibility during a medical emergency until more qualified emergency response
personnel arrive at the site as needed.
 As promptly as possible following an injury or illness, ensure appropriate notification has
been made to the family of the individual involved.
 Please see Section 1.7 for incident reporting procedures.

1.5.1 Injuries or Illnesses Requiring Hospital Service WITHOUT Ambulance


Service

Injuries or illnesses requiring hospital service without ambulance services include minor
lacerations, minor sprains, etc. The following procedures will be taken immediately:

 The SHSO will ensure prompt transportation of the injured person to a physician or
hospital.
 A representative of Stantec will always drive the injured employee to the medical facility
and remain at the facility until the employee is ready to return.
 If the driver of the vehicle is not familiar with directions to the hospital, a second person
shall accompany the driver and the injured employee and navigate the route to the
hospital.
 If it is necessary for the SHSO to accompany the injured employee, provisions will be
made to have another employee, properly trained and certified in First Aid, to act as the
temporary SHSO.
 If the injured employee is able to return to the job site the same day, he/she will bring
with him/her a statement from the doctor containing such information as:
o Date
o Employee's name
o Diagnosis
o Date he/she is able to return to work, regular or light duty

6
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER

Emergency Response

o Date he/she is to return to doctor for follow-up appointment, if necessary


o Signature and address of doctor
 As promptly as possible following an injury or illness, ensure appropriate notification has
been made to the family of the individual involved.
 Please see Section 1.7 for incident reporting procedures.

If the injured employee is unable to return to the job site the same day, the employee who
transported him will bring this information back to the job site and report it to Richard
Weishaupt, Stantec Practice and Risk Management (PRM), and their regional Human
Resources Specialist.

1.5.2 Injuries or Illnesses Requiring Hospital Service WITH Ambulance Service

Injuries or illnesses requiring hospital service with ambulance services include severe head
injuries, amputations, heart attacks, heat stroke, etc. The following procedures will be taken
immediately:

 Call for ambulance service and notify the SHSO.


 Administer First Aid until ambulance service arrives.
 While the injured employee is being transported, the SHSO will contact the medical
facility to be utilized.
 One designated representative will accompany the injured employee to the medical
facility and remain at the facility until final diagnosis and other relevant information is
obtained.
 As promptly as possible following an injury or illness, ensure appropriate notification has
been made to the family of the individual involved.
 Please see Section 1.7 for incident reporting procedures.

1.5.3 Death of an Individual or Hospitalization of Three or More Employees

The emergency response procedures above will be followed. If the injured person dies, follow
the incident reporting procedures. PRM will notify the Human Resources Department, local
officials and coroner immediately. Human Resources will notify the local OSHA office within 8
hours of the incident or fatality in the event of fatality or hospitalization of three or more
employees.

1.6 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES: SPILLS OR CUT LINES

Prevent problems by documenting the location of underground lines (e.g., product, sewer,
telephone, fiber optic) before starting site work. If a line or tank is drilled through, or another leak
occurs, document the event as soon as possible using the Incident Investigation Report.

In the event of a spill/release, follow this plan:

 Stop Work, stabilize the situation, and secure the site.


 Stay upwind of the spill/release.
 Wear appropriate PPE.
 Turn off equipment and other sources of ignition.
 Turn off pumps and shut valves to stop the flow/leak.
 Plug the leak or collect drippings, when possible.
 Use sorbent pads to collect product and impede its flow, if possible.
 Call Fire Department immediately if fire or emergency develops.
 Notify the SHSO to begin the incident reporting procedures. The Stantec PM will notify
Stantec Incident Review Team Members, Stantec H&S Team Members, and the PM
immediately after the situation is under control.
 Determine if the client wants Stantec to repair the damage or if the client will use an
emergency repair contractor.
 Based on agreements, contact emergency spill contractor for containment of free
product. The contacts for this project will be Medford Fire and Rescue Department (911
OR 541-774-2300) and Cowlitz Clean Sweep (503-547-9466).
 Advise the client of spill discharge notification requirements and determine who will
complete and submit forms. (Do not submit or report to agencies without the client’s
consent.) Document each interaction with the client and regulators and note, in writing;
name, title, authorizations, refusals, decisions, and commitments to any action.
 Do not transport or approve transportation of contaminated soils or product until proper
manifests have been completed and approved. Be aware that soils / product may
meet criteria for hazardous waste.
 Do not sign manifests as generator of wastes unless you have been given appropriate
training and approval for signing on behalf of the generator; contact Project Manager or
Waste Compliance Manager to discuss waste transportation.

The Project Manager will involve the client/generator in the Incident Investigation process. The
client/generator is under obligation to report to the proper government agencies. If the spill
extends into waterways, the Coast Guard and the National Response Center will be notified
immediately by the client or by Stantec Project Manager with the client’s permission.

Prevention of spills is key. Use proper equipment inspection forms and inspect all equipment
prior to use onsite. Do not use equipment that has not been inspected, that is improperly
maintained, or shows signs of belt or hose wear, or leaks. Stantec field personnel will request all
equipment that is not fit for duty be returned for repair.

1.7 INCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURES

INSTRUCTION GUIDE FOR INTERNAL INCIDENT REPORTING


This section outlines the procedures that will be followed in the event of an incident. A flowchart and a
table with necessary contact information (phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses) for incident
reporting are also provided.

In the event of an incident:


1. Stop work, stabilize the situation, and secure the site.

2. Report all incidents, injuries, spills, non-conformance events, permit exceedances, and
potential incidents (near losses) immediately to the SHSO, who will then notify the Stantec
Project Manager. If you are unsure whether or not something should be reported, Stop Work
and proceed with notification anyway.

3. The Stantec Project Manager will make internal notifications* to the following: and
 Stantec H&S Team Members (Richard Weishaupt and one of the RSECs (Fred Miller);
 Tony Wong
If a team member does not answer, leave a detailed message with a number at which
you can be reached.

*Internal notification is a requirement for our Stantec team members. Internal reporting
requirements were established for two primary reasons: (1) provide a pathway for employees
to obtain the assistance of company health and safety experts during an incident or near loss,
and (2) to help Stantec track injuries and near losses that occur to our employees. The data
captured during the reporting process is then used to identify trends that can be pro-actively
addressed to improve overall health and safety within our company. This helps everyone go
home safely.

4. The Stantec Project Manager will obtain concurrence from at least one of the Stantec Incident
Review Team Members regarding client specific reporting requirements.

5. A: If the incident is determined to not be reportable to the client, the SHSO or Stantec Project
Manager will submit an initial copy of the Stantec Incident Investigation/Near Loss Investigation
(IINLI) report (RMS-3 Form) to Stantec’s PRM group in Edmonton (via email to
hse@stantec.com) and Richard Weishaupt within 24 hours of the event. The final report is due
within 5 business days.

B: If the incident is determined to be reportable to the client, the Stantec Project Manager or
Director will:
 Notify the client Project Manager and, if requested, complete a Flash Report and other
associated documentation.
 Provide a written report of the incident on a Stantec IINLI (RMS-3) form to Stantec’s PRM
group (via email to hse@stantec.com) and Richard Weishaupt. An initial copy of the
report will be submitted within 24 hours, and the final will be completed within 5 business
days.

Site Background and Chemical Hazards

3.0 Site Background and Chemical Hazards

The Site (Tax Lots 700 and 800) and surrounding area were formerly part of a much larger
property that was in use as a lumber mill from the 1920s until 1993. In the early 1960s, a plywood
fabrication building was constructed on the above-referenced property. In 1988, the Medite
sawmill (formerly MEDCO) was shut down and permanent closure of the plywood plant was
initiated in 1992.

The Medite property began cleanup for regulatory closure under the ODEQ Voluntary Cleanup
Program in 1993. The property underwent extensive cleanup that utilized on-Site methods to
treat soil impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and
other contaminants; no groundwater contamination was encountered. The ODEQ authorized
regulatory closure with no further action in a letter dated July 24, 1995.

In August 2011 Stantec, at the request of Regency, installed 17 borings across the former mill
property, including portions of Tax Lots 700, 800 (collectively “the Site”) and 1400 (Hereafter
referred to as “Alba Village”). Of these, eight borings (SV-1 through SV-8) were placed within the
Site, and borings SV-9 through SV-17 were located on the Alba Village property. Soil and grab
groundwater samples were collected at each location and submitted for laboratory analysis of
semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270C, volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) by US EPA Method 8260B, total petroleum hydrocarbons in the gasoline range (TPH-G)
using NWTPH-Gx.

Procedures used and results obtained are described in their entirety in the Soil and Groundwater
Sampling Report, Proposed Alba Village, Medford, Oregon, September 15, 2011 which was
submitted to ODEQ on the date of the report. On September 30, 2011, the ODEQ issued
approval of the report in a letter entitled Approval of Soil and Groundwater Sampling Report,
dated September 15, 2011 and Additional Work Needed to Provide a No Further Action
Determination. The ODEQ also stated in the letter that “consistent with ODEQ’s Contaminated
Aquifer Policy, and based on our understanding of Site conditions and contaminant
characterization, ODEQ does not consider Regency Centers responsible for HVOC and
petroleum contamination in groundwater at the northeast corner of the Site”.

Site Background and Chemical Hazards

In April 2014, as part of groundwater monitoring well installation, Stantec identified the presence
of TPH in the diesel range, dioxins/furans and four semi-volatile organic compounds at low
concentrations in Site groundwater. Dioxins/furans were also detected in two shallow soil
samples collected during the installation of monitoring well MW-2.

In April 2015, Stantec completed an extensive shallow soil assessment at the Site. Included in this
assessment was the advancement of 44 soil borings and collection of soil and groundwater
samples. Results of this assessment indicated that the nature and extent of dioxin and furan
impacts have been adequately defined across the Site and allowed Stantec to prepare
appropriate risk-management analysis. As a result, Stantec determined that excess lifetime
cancer risk is well below the maximum acceptable risk specified in published Oregon DEQ
guidance.

To date, dioxin and furan congeners are the constituents of concern at the Site.
The following table summarizes the maximum concentration of dioxin and furan congeners
observed in all environmental samples collected at the Site to date.

 The Level for Respirator Use is the concentration at which a respirator will be put on; it does not
require the job to stop. The respirator is a tool to be used while determining why the exposure has
reached that concentration. Take action to reduce the concentration using engineering controls
such as water mist, spray foam, plastic cover, etc.
 The Level for Work Stoppage is the concentration at which work on the job will stop. Determine
why exposures have reached that concentration and how they can be reduced. Site evacuation
is not necessary at this level. Implement engineering controls to reduce the concentration, and
then resume work.
 Photoionization detectors (PIDs) are used for general hydrocarbon monitoring; an example would
be benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, common on gasoline station sites. The PID
typically uses either a 10.6 eV lamp (responds to pentane and higher hydrocarbons), or 11.7 eV
lamp (responds to ethane [weakly], propane and higher hydrocarbons) to ionize and detect the
gas. The PID will measure hydrocarbons that are ionized, and therefore is a screening device, not
a chemical-specific measurement instrument.
 The Levels for Work Stoppage are based on measurements taken using PIDs calibrated with
isobutylene; PIDs calibrated with gases other than isobutylene may have a different response
factor.
 Action levels can be modified with particular knowledge of contaminants and site conditions.

Determining whether or not LDRs apply to any given volume of contaminated soils can be
complicated. To assist facility owner/operators or program implementers, it is important to
understand the principles that govern LDR applicability for contaminated soils (see the May 26,
1998 final rule at 63 FR at 28617-18). These three principles state:

Principle 1 - > ZƐŽŶůLJĂƩ ĂĐŚƚŽƉƌŽŚŝďŝƚĞĚŚĂnjĂƌĚŽƵƐǁ ĂƐƚĞ;ŽƌŚĂnjĂƌĚŽƵƐĐŽŶƚĂŵ ŝŶĂƚĞĚsoils) when it is: (1)


generated and (2) placed in a land disposal unit. If contaminated soils are not removed from the land, the
LDRs do not apply. Similarly, if contaminated soils are removed from the land (i.e., generated) yet never
placed in a land disposal unit, the LDRs do not apply, i.e., LDRs do not apply to contaminated soils in situ nor
do they force contaminated soils to be excavated or removed.

Principle 2 - Once a decision has been made to generate (i.e., excavate) and re-land dispose contaminated
soils, LDRs generally only apply to contaminated soils that contain hazardous waste. The Agency considers

Applicability of RCRA LDRs to Dioxin Contaminated Soils

ƉƉůŝĐĂƟŽŶŽĨƚŚĞƐĂŵ ĞƚŚƌĞĞLDR applicability principles will determine whether dioxin-


contaminated soils are subject to requirements. (LDRs may be applicable for waste
disposed of on site or off site.)

Principle 1 > ZƐŽŶůLJĂƩ ĂĐŚƚŽĚŝŽdžŝŶ-contaminated soils when they are: (1) generated (i.e., excavated) and
(2) placed in a land disposal unit. If the dioxin- contaminated soils are not removed from the land, LDRs do not
apply. Similarly, if dioxin-contaminated soils are removed from the land (i.e., generated) yet never placed in a
land disposal unit, LDRs do not apply; that is, LDRs do not apply to dioxin-contaminated soils in situ and they
11
do not require soils to be excavated or removed. If contaminated soils are managed in an area of
soils would not be
considered generated, and the LDR treatment requirements do not apply.

Principle 2 - Once a decision has been made to generate (i.e., excavate) and re-land dispose the dioxin-
contaminated soils, LDRs only apply to dioxin-contaminated soils that contain hazardous waste. The Agency
considers dioxin-contaminated soils to contain hazardous ǁ ĂƐƚĞ͗;ϭͿǁ ŚĞŶŝƚĞdžŚŝďŝƚƐĂĐŚĂƌĂĐƚĞƌŝƐƟĐŽĨ

SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Other Site Hazards

5.0 Other Site Hazards

5.1 PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Physical hazards may include uneven terrain, sharp debris, electrical fencing, holes, noise, etc.

The most likely physical hazards at the site are uneven terrain (curbs and gutters) and sharp
debris. To protect yourself, always look before you step and wear proper PPE for the task being
performed.

5.2 WEATHER AND NATURAL DISASTERS

Hazards associated with weather and natural disasters may include, but are not limited to,
effects of extreme heat (heat exhaustion, heat stroke), effects of extreme cold (hypothermia,
frostbite), high winds/tornadoes, heavy rain, lightening/thunderstorms, heavy snow, ice,
earthquakes, landslides, flooding, etc.

The most likely hazards at the site are effects of extreme heat/cold (heat exhaustion, heat stroke,
hypothermia, frost bite).

To protect yourself from heat, perform the heaviest work at the coolest part of the day; drink
plenty of cool water; wear light, loose-fitting, breathable clothing; and take frequent, short
breaks in the shade. Certain medications, having a previous heat-related illness, and wearing
PPE such as a respirator or protective suit can put you at increased risk.

To protect yourself from cold, perform the bulk of the work during the warmest part of the day,
wear proper PPE and clothing to insulate the body from the cold and protect the body from
coming into contact with moisture, take frequent breaks in a warm, dry shelter, use the buddy
system, and eat warm, high-calorie foods.

19
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Other Site Hazards

Before Extreme Heat


To prepare for extreme heat, you should:
 To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a communications
plan.
 Install window air conditioners snugly; insulate if necessary.
 Check air-conditioning ducts for proper insulation.

Install temporary window reflectors (for use between windows and drapes), such as aluminum
foil-covered cardboard, to reflect heat back outside.
 Weather-strip doors and sills to keep cool air in.
 Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sun with drapes, shades, awnings, or
louvers. (Outdoor awnings or louvers can reduce the heat that enters a home by up to
80 percent.)
 Keep storm windows up all year.
 Listen to local weather forecasts and stay aware of upcoming temperature changes.
 Know those in your neighborhood who are elderly, young, sick or overweight. They are
more likely to become victims of excessive heat and may need help.
 Be aware that people living in urban areas may be at greater risk from the effects of a
prolonged heat wave than are people living in rural areas.
 Get trained in first aid to learn how to treat heat-related emergencies

During Extreme Heat


What you should do if the weather is extremely hot:
 Listen to NOAA Weather Radio for critical updates from the National Weather Service
(NWS).
 Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles.
 Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun.
 Stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine if air conditioning is not available.

20
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Other Site Hazards

 Postpone outdoor games and activities.


 Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as libraries,
schools, movie theaters, shopping malls, and other community facilities. Circulating air
can cool the body by increasing the perspiration rate of evaporation.
 Eat well-balanced, light, and regular meals. Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do
so by a physician.
 Drink plenty of water; even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine. Persons
who have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease; are on fluid-restricted diets; or have
a problem with fluid retention should consult a doctor before increasing liquid intake.
 Limit intake of alcoholic beverages.
 Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as
possible. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.
 Protect face and head by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
 Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day. Use a buddy system when
working in extreme heat, and take frequent breaks.
 Check on family, friends, and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who
spend much of their time alone.

Before Winter Storms and Extreme Cold


To prepare for a winter storm you should do the following:
 Before winter approaches, add the following supplies to your emergency kit:
o Rock salt or more environmentally safe products to melt ice on walkways. Visit
the Environmental Protection Agency for a complete list of recommended
products.
o Sand to improve traction.
o Snow shovels and other snow removal equipment.
o Sufficient heating fuel. You may become isolated in your home and regular fuel
sources may be cut off. Store a good supply of dry, seasoned wood for your
fireplace or wood-burning stove.
o Adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm.

21
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Other Site Hazards

 Make a Communications Plan. Your may not be with coworkers, family, etc. when
disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will
get back together and what you will do in case of an emergency.
 Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or other local news channels for critical information
from the National Weather Service (NWS). Be alert to changing weather conditions.
 Minimize travel. If travel is necessary, keep a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle.
 Bring pets/companion animals inside during winter weather. Move other animals or
livestock to sheltered areas with non-frozen drinking water.

During Winter Storms and Extreme Cold


 Stay indoors during the storm.
 Walk carefully on snowy, icy, walkways.
 Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack—a
major cause of death in the winter. If you must shovel snow, stretch before going outside.
 Keep dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat. Wet clothing
loses all of its insulating value and transmits heat rapidly.
 Watch for signs of frostbite. These include loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in
extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. If symptoms are
detected, get medical help immediately.
 Watch for signs of hypothermia. These include uncontrollable shivering, memory loss,
disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If
symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet
clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, non-alcoholic beverages if
the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible.
 Drive only if it is absolutely necessary. If you must drive: travel in the day; don’t travel
alone; keep others informed of your schedule; stay on main roads and avoid back road
shortcuts.
 Let someone know your destination, your route, and when you expect to arrive. If your
car gets stuck along the way, help can be sent along your predetermined route.
 If the pipes freeze, remove any insulation or layers of newspapers and wrap pipes in rags.
Completely open all faucets and pour hot water over the pipes, starting where they
were most exposed to the cold (or where the cold was most likely to penetrate).
 Maintain ventilation when using kerosene heaters to avoid build-up of toxic fumes. Refuel
kerosene heaters outside and keep them at least three feet from flammable objects.
 Conserve fuel.

Other Site Hazards

5.3 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

Biological hazards may include, but are not limited to, bees/wasps, spiders, snakes, stray dogs,
and poisonous/allergenic plants.

The most likely biological hazards at the site are bees/wasps and spiders, and these may be
encountered during a number of tasks including: opening well vault covers; opening core or
sample boxes; working in tall grass, weeds, or brush; cleaning or moving materials; performing
site assessment, etc.

To mitigate hazards associated with bees/wasps:

 Avoid known locations of bees/wasps.


 Keep your eyes and ears open for swarms.
 Look for insects flying in and out of openings such as a crack in the wall, an open pipe
end, or a well vault lid.
 Be cautious of tall grass as some bees build their hives at ground level.
 Be cautious of pointed structures, especially in barns, storage sheds, and outbuildings as
bees often build hives in those structures.
 Avoid wearing citrus or floral aftershaves or perfumes as bees/wasps may be attracted
to these odors.
 Wear light colored clothing as insects are generally attracted to dark colors.
 Fill in cracks or crevices and close open ends of pipes when bees/wasps are not around.
 Leave the area as quickly as possible if a nest has been disturbed. Do not retrieve
nearby belongings. Do not stand still. Do not try to fight them.

If stung by a bee or wasp, wash the area with soap and water, and use Benadryl from the First
Aid kit. If you have been stung over 15 times or are having symptoms other than pain and
swelling, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Staff that are allergic will carry an
EpiPen® as prescribed by a doctor.
To mitigate hazards associated with spiders:

 Be cautious when opening well boxes, pipes, electrical and equipment panels.
 Be cautious when moving materials and/or tools inside the remediation compound; i.e.
corners of the compound or any area where it’s dry and dark.
 Open well boxes, drums, electrical and equipment panels, etc., slowly and be prepared
to step back quickly.
 Visually inspect the work area before placing your hands into a dark space/enclosed
area.
 Use a flashlight to visually inspect the work area for spiders and spider webs.
 Wear appropriate gloves. Never place a bare hand into a dark space/enclosed area.
 Use a brush or equivalent long handled tool to sweep away spider webs and dirt, etc., to
clear your work area.
 Proceed with caution and continue to visually inspect your work area.
 Leave the area immediately if a spider has been encountered. Move work materials out
of the way. Do not use insect sprays or pesticides as these may cause contamination of
sampling.
If bitten by a spider, wash the bite area with soap and water. Immobilize the bitten arm or leg to
limit movement. Try to elevate the area and keep it still to help prevent the spread of venom.

23
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Other Site Hazards

Apply a cloth dampened with cold water or lined with ice to the bite to slow down the spread
of the spider's venom. Seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Paraphernalia:
If drug paraphernalia (i.e. used needles) is found at the site, field staff should notify their Stantec
supervisor, Marc Sauze. Field staff should not touch or attempt to dispose of these items.
Instead, a cone or other warning device should be placed near or on top of the items to warn
others not to touch.

FIELD ACTIVITIES

Site Control and Safety Procedures

6.0 Site Control and Safety Procedures

Procedures described in this section are intended to aid Stantec personnel in mitigating site
risks/hazards.

Daily Tailgate Meeting


A Daily Tailgate Meeting (DTM) will be held on-site (and documented) each morning and
afternoon involving all staff and subcontractors on-site to review the scope of work, discuss and
address potential hazards, and answer any relevant questions before work begins. The topics of
the meeting will include, at a minimum, general health and safety procedures, reviewing health
and safety policies, and reviewing the JHA and JSA(s) for the tasks to be conducted. Additional
safety meetings may be conducted if the scope of work changes during the day, or if other
health and safety issues are identified. The DTM form is located in Attachment 5.

Driving
 Review the Stantec Safe Driving Procedures provided on-site.
 Utilize the Journey Hazard Assessment Card to identify potential driving/journey/traffic
hazards before each trip. Copies of the Journey Hazard Assessment Card are located
on-site.
 Utilize the Daily Vehicle Checklist at least once a day for each vehicle driven for Stantec
business to identify potential vehicle issues/hazards. Copies of the Daily Vehicle
Inspection Checklist are located on-site.
 Have each team member who will travel to/from the site review the site-specific Journey
Management Plan (JMP) before traveling to identify routes of travel and potential
driving/journey/traffic hazards. JMP(s) will be kept with each traveling employee
throughout the entire course of travel.
 Before a driver enters a vehicle, Get Out and Look (GOAL). Conduct a 360 degree walk-
around of the vehicle to look for bystanders, traffic, obstacles, damage, and leaks in
order to reduce the risk of striking unknown objects in the environment.
 When a driver leaves a vehicle, the engine shall be turned off, the transmission placed in
park (placed in first gear or reverse for manual transmission), the parking brake set, the
keys removed from the ignition and all doors closed. Exception to this is for operational
needs/power take off (e.g., vacuum trucks, drill rigs, or other similar vehicles). Vehicles
that fall into this exception category must have the parking brake set and wheels
chocked.
 A Stantec Vehicle Collision Kit will be kept in every vehicle used for Stantec project work.
A copy of the Stantec Vehicle Collision Kit is located on site.
 Smoking is not permitted in Stantec owned, leased or rented vehicles.

Drug and Alcohol Testing


Following an incident, Stantec will follow the incident reporting procedures. If appropriate,
Stantec will include drug and alcohol testing, consistent with Stantec’s Policies and Procedures,
as well as the client’s contractual requirements for testing.

Emergency Situations and Vehicle Breakdowns


 If the vehicle becomes disabled, it shall be parked with all wheels off the main roadway
whenever possible.

25
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Site Control and Safety Procedures

 When exiting the vehicle, personnel shall not place themselves between oncoming
traffic and the disabled vehicle.
 If the vehicle becomes disabled within 500 feet of a curve, crest of a hill, or other visual
obstruction, the driver shall place warning devices such as reflective triangles in that
direction to provide passing traffic with ample warning. Recommended placement of
warning devices shall be no less than 100 feet or more than 500 feet from the disabled
vehicle.
 If the vehicle becomes disabled on a divided or one-way highway, the recommended
placement of warning devices shall be so that the first is 200 feet to the rear, the second
is 100 feet to the rear, and the third is not more than ten feet to the rear. Warning
devices should be placed less than two feet to the roadside of the widest portion of the
vehicle or load.
 If the vehicle becomes disabled (not including a flat tire), a professional emergency
roadside assistance company will be contacted to tow or enable the vehicle. If such
company is not available, proper towing equipment (tow strap, cables or other
equipment specifically designed for towing) must be used.

Exclusion Zone and Decontamination


No eating, drinking, or smoking within the exclusion zone. These activities will be conducted only
in designated areas of the site. Use of PDAs, cell phones, pagers, or other electrical devices
(with the exception of intrinsically safe devices) are prohibited in the exclusion zone. Personnel
will properly decontaminate after leaving an exclusion zone. Decontamination procedures may
involve disposing of Tyveks, latex gloves, etc. in a decontamination zone located immediately
outside of the exclusion zone. At a minimum, personnel will wash any exposed skin before
leaving a site using soap and water or pre-moistened cleansing towels. Stantec will evaluate
the hazards and develop site-specific decontamination procedures to address the chemical
hazards at each site. These procedures can be found in the job safety analyses.

Fit for Duty


Safety is influenced by many factors, but the most important is the health and well-being of
Stantec’s employees and partners. Physical and mental health is just as important as good
tools, good practices, and good job planning.

These questions are designed to help you do a quick self-assessment of your physical and
mental health. Any concerns resulting from your assessment regarding your ability to carry out
your job responsibilities safely and in good health need to be discussed with your supervisor
before starting work.

 Am I feeling good today and ready to work at my typical level of physical activity and
responsibility?
 Do I have any sprains, strains, areas of weakness, or soreness?
 Am I managing multiple areas of stress?
 Am I well hydrated?
 Any physically demanding activities recently (chores, sports, hobbies)?
 Am I well rested with a good energy level? When did I eat last?
 Am I taking any medications that can make me drowsy or adversely affect my safe
performance?
 Any cuts or scrapes are clean and bandaged?
 Did I remember to bring with me my health maintenance medications (blood pressure,
diabetes, cholesterol, heart, etc.)?

26
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Site Control and Safety Procedures

If your answers to any of the questions above indicate that you may not be ready to work,
contact your supervisor immediately to discuss a plan of action.

HASP Inspections
The site-specific HASP should be inspected in the field by the SHSO or other Stantec personnel to
determine the effectiveness of the plan. Any deficiencies should be corrected and changes will
be recorded on the HASP Modification Log.

Jewelry Safety
Jewelry can be dangerous and shall not be worn during field activities. Large earrings, long
necklaces, loose-fitting bracelets, rings, watches, etc. can become entangled in machinery and
cause removal of limbs, as well as be conductive of electricity.

Job Hazard Assessment


A Job Hazard Assessment (JHA) will be developed during the pre-planning phase of a project.
JHAs will be completed for all field jobs and focused on the control, removal, or reduction of
hazards potentially inherent in each job; and in the context of the project scope, contractors
selected, and anticipated work locations. The JHAs and project HASP will be used to enhance
crew training, improve the efficiency of the job, and provide a foundation for behavior based
safety (BBS) observations. On-site workers must review the JHA during a Pre-Field Kickoff Meeting
to ensure a thorough hazard analysis was performed and documented. The JHA form is located
in Attachment 5.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)


JSAs will be prepared or revised prior to mobilizing to the field. Applicable JSAs will be reviewed
in detail on a daily basis by all affected on-site workers and/or visitors. Any revisions to the JSAs
will be hand written into the JSAs, forwarded to the project manager, and communicated
during Daily Toolbox Meeting (DTM) or Permit To Work (PTW) discussions. JSAs will be compared
to scope-specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) as a part of the hazard analysis
planning phase of the project. JSAs are located in Attachment 4.

Management of Change
The purpose of managing change is to reduce the potential for incidents associated with the
ongoing changes inherent in the management of Stantec projects. Stantec has developed a
procedure to ensure all change events are systematically reviewed, communicated, approved
and documented. Changed conditions include personnel changes including subcontractors,
property owner changes, equipment changes, scope changes, project schedule changes or
changes in materials that may be a permanent or temporary change.

The Management of Change (MOC) process outlined below will be implemented by Stantec
project staff and our subcontractors to effectively manage changed conditions when
warranted.
1. Temporary “Stop Work” to assess and communicate the need for a MOC to the Stantec
PM;
2. Document the MOC plan;
3. Evaluate health and safety and environmental impacts associated with the changed
item;

27
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Site Control and Safety Procedures

4. Evaluate budget and schedule impacts associated with the changed item;
5. Implement the MOC plan, and;
6. Document completion of MOC tasks.

Manual Handling
Any tasks that involve lifting, pulling, pushing, or carrying materials by hand shall be conducted
in accordance with Stantec’s Manual Handling Standard. The goals of the standard are to:
 Plan the work activity and try to eliminate manual handling through pre-job planning.
 If manual handling is the only option then ensure workers stay within lifting and carrying
limits.
 Eliminate or mitigate manual handling incidents by using proper lifting, pushing/pulling,
and carrying techniques.
During the project planning and pre-job analyses, project managers and field crews shall
complete a JHA and/or JSA for any manual lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying that will be
required. Before manually handling objects, ensure that the Hand Safety Guideline has been
reviewed and that proper PPE is worn. Required manual handling activities shall conform to the
following limits, where “ideal” and “non-ideal” refer to the type of body posture used:
Type of Lift Number of Persons Maximum Weight
Non-ideal 1 25 lbs(11kg)
Ideal 1 50 lbs (22kg)
Ideal Team 2 or more 100 lbs (45kg)

Position # of Persons Hand Contact Maximum Weight Max Travel Distance


Front of Body 1 2 50 lbs (22kg) 10 yds/m
Front of Body 1 2 40 lbs (18 kg) 20 yds/m
Front or Side of Body 1 2 or top handle 30 lbs (13kg) 30 yds/m

Permits
Permits may include, but are not limited to, NPDES permits, City Permits, County permits, etc. and
should be discussed and verified before work begins.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Assessment


The minimum standard PPE at the site is Level D and proper work attire, which includes a hard
hat, safety glasses with side shields, safety-toe boots, hi-viz leather/work gloves (specific glove
type to be determined by the PPE assessment), hi-viz chemical resistant gloves when handling
chemical or hazardous substances, hi-viz reflective safety vest, long sleeve shirt, and pants.
Clothing that is frayed, torn, excessively baggy, or has a hood or drawstring shall not be worn.

In addition, a PPE Assessment form should be completed and signed by the Stantec PM for this
job/project and included in this HASP. The PPE Assessment determines additional PPE beyond
the minimum standard Level D required for the project. Any additional PPE requirements
identified must be specified in the JSA for that task. Depending on the size, scope, and
complexity of the project, additional PPE Assessments may be needed on a task by task basis, in
which case each additional completed PPE Assessment should be attached to the task-specific

28
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Site Control and Safety Procedures

JSA to which it applies. The PPE Assessment form is included as Attachment 3. Refer to the
CEMC OE Required Personal Protective Equipment document for additional information.

Pre-Entry Briefing
All on-site workers and visitors will receive a pre-entry briefing prior to accessing work areas of
the site. The briefing will include reviewing contents of the HASP, signing the Acknowledgement
and Agreement Form, and completing the Site Health and Safety Quiz (Attachment 6).
Completed quizzes will be kept with the project files. The briefing for visitors may be abbreviated
to be fit-for-purpose based on the intent of the visit.

Public Questions and Press


Questions about the site posed by a neighbor, the press, or other interested parties will be
directed to the Project Manager.

Shutoff Valves/Switches
The SHSO will identify the location of shutoff valves and switches for utilities and products on the
Site Plan and disseminate this information to all site personnel and visitors as appropriate.

Site Security
Security of our staff, subcontractors, equipment, and the public is of paramount importance to
Stantec. Employees are trained in hazard recognition and will follow standard policies and
procedures to report and mitigate site security issues/hazards if identified. Note that security
consideration is different than traffic guidance and control, which also impacts security to some
extent. Security refers to personal safety and freedom from theft or violence. The following
items will be evaluated when considering security measures at the site:
 Daytime activities at the site (e.g., gas station only, gas station with convenience store,
etc.);
 Recent criminal activity at the site and nearby areas (ask site owner/operator and the
police);
 Work hours (security concerns may be different depending on the time of day); and
 Lighting at the site (thieves are generally dissuaded from stealing on well-lit sites).
Standard security measures will be implemented on site to minimize the potential for loss at the
site. Standard security measures include properly maintained lighting, functioning locks for
windows/doors/equipment storage areas, and maintaining control of tools and equipment
when not in use. Security may be implemented in a variety of ways:

 Orange construction fence (minimal security);


 Chain link fencing;
 Extra lighting;
 Specialized locks; and/or
 Contract security.

Site Smoking Policy


Stantec maintains a smoke-free work environment at job sites. Smoking is not permitted inside
the exclusion zone or work zone. Designated smoking areas will be identified and depicted on
job site maps at the start of the project for personnel who are smokers. Site personnel who are
smokers will be required to extinguish all smoking material in a designated smoking receptacle.
Sites located in remove areas or areas where fire hazards are a concern, a portable smoking
pole will be utilized in the designated smoking area to dispose cigarettes. Stantec employees
and subcontractors must adhere to this practice at all times, while working onsite.

29
SITE-SPECIFIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN FOR EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND OTHER
FIELD ACTIVITIES

Site Control and Safety Procedures

Utility Location & Clearance


Any task that involves moving, disturbing, or penetrating in-place earth materials must review
and follow Stantec’s Utility Clearance Practice. This includes but is not limited to any task
involving drilling, soil boring, well installation or abandonment, excavating, trenching, auguring,
grading, driving rods or piles, or installing posts.

When on-site and before intrusive work begins, the SHSO is responsible for:
 Locating all overhead hazards such as elevated utility lines, utility poles, or canopies,
 Determining if any work locations or circumstances constitute high risk activity and if so
obtaining the PTW before work begins.

Work Hours
Work on this project will be conducted during the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through
Friday.

Signature

*Whether the listed PPE is needed is dependent upon the presence and severity of the hazard –
a qualified individual should determine whether this is the correct PPE and whether additional
PPE is needed to reduce risk of exposure.

¹In jurisdictions outside of the United States, PPE must conform to the local regulatory
requirements – ANSI may not be a recognized standard in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

²Although the ANSI Z41-99 standard has been withdrawn, the protection provided by footwear
meeting this standard is comparable to the newer ASTM F2413-05. For this reason it is not
necessary to replace footwear approved under ANSI Z41-99 if it is otherwise still serviceable.
