  • Lightning: Avoid working during thunderstorms. This project has a 50/30/15 rule. Lightning at 50 mile, be aware- 30 miles, take caution- 15 miles, take cover or cab up and remain under cover until 30 minutes after the final strike. The weatherbug lightning app will be monitored by the SCS safety manager to determine where the lightning strikes are occurring. During a take cover status seek shelter in a building with plumbing and electrical wiring or vehicle with a metal top.  Vehicles with non-metal tops or enclosures such as fiberglass, cloth or plastic are not considered effective protection against lightning.  Avoid open, bare areas.  Do not cross water bodies.*
  • Dust Storm: In the event a dust storm develops in the work area all employees will take shelter in buildings or vehicles and wait for the dust to subside. Do not drive in dust storms.  If driving pull to side of road with running lights and headlights left in the on position to provide visibility to other motorists.*
  • Tornadoes: If outdoors seek shelter in a building, low depression, ditch or hole.  Lie flat in a ditch and cover your head.  In a building, the best shelter is inside the basement or interior room on the lowest floor.*
  • Ultraviolet Radiation:  When working outdoors employees are subject to ultraviolet radiation, even when the temperature is low.  To prevent skin damage due to sun exposure, keep your skin covered. Wearing pants, long sleeve shirts and hard hats can assist in preventing skin damage.  Sun screen with an SPF factor of at least 30 is recommended for areas that are not covered by clothing.*

  • Biological Hazards and Controls

  • Snakes are typically found in underbrush and tall grassy areas.  Most snake bites occur below the knee, on the hand or on the forearm.  It is recommended that employees use gauntlet gloves, high-top leather boots, and extra care when walking through underbrush or tall grass.  If you are bitten by a snake stay calm.  Notify co-workers to help you seek medical attention.  Seek medical attention from the nearest medical facility, Immobilize the affected limb, keeping the bitten part below the level of the heart.  Even if the snake is not venomous, excellent wound care is required.  A tetanus booster shot is needed if the employee has not had one within the last 5 years, Do not cut the bite open and suck out the venom. Do not apply ice, cold packs, or Freon spray, and remember, as with all puncture wounds, snake bites carry a high risk of infection, whether or not venom is injected.  Clean the wound carefully with soap and water.*
  • Bees and Other Stinging Insects:  Bees, wasps, and other stinging insects may be encountered almost anywhere and may present a serious hazard, particularly to people who are allergic.  Carry a kit if you have had allergic reactions in the past, and inform your crew leader (typically supervisor/ foreman/ lead man).  Watch for and avoid nests while working.  If stung and the stinger is present, remove it carefully with tweezers.  Wash and disinfect the wound, cover it and apply ice. Watch for an allergic reaction and seek medical attention if a reaction develops.*
