7. Program Operations
7.1. Personnel Safety
1) All personal protective equipment for vector control personnel shall be provided by the
CHEC.
PPE will include, as a minimum, the safety equipment required by the label and
MSDS.
2) Where applicable, CHEC will provide vector control employees with half or full respirator
3M or similar that has been fit tested in accordance with HSE Practice 000.653.3002 prior
to entering the Simandou project.
3) Where applicable, CHEC will provide vector control employees with the appropriate type of
respirator cartridges for their respirator.
CHEC shall monitor cartridge storage and use to
ensure employees are properly storing new cartridges and monitoring the cartridge life
expectancy.
7.2. Pesticide Storage
1) Pesticide storage areas should be isolated from congested areas for reasons of health,
safety, fire protection, environmental protection, and security.
The most compelling
reason for the isolation of pesticide storage facilities is the fire safety.
If a fire occurs in a
facility located within or adjacent to an office complex, extensive decontamination of
nearby areas from drift of toxic vapors, smoke, liquids, and particulates may be required.
2) Pesticide storage areas are essential to safely protect and store pesticides and related
chemicals.
Storage space may also be combined with, or accommodated in the
equipment space.
3) Storage areas shall be secured from unauthorized entry and secured in an area of
minimum external access to non-vector control personnel.

of being secured.
5) Pesticide storage facilities will be ventilated and climate controlled to pesticide storage
temperature limits per manufacturer specifications.
6) All pesticide mixing shall be carried out in accordance with the products labeled directions.
7) Empty pesticide containers are to be disposed of in accordance with labeled directions.

7.3. Pesticide Applications
1)
Treatment of occupied spaces with liquid, dust, or aerosol pesticide formulations is
prohibited.
Spaces treated with these formulations will be kept vacant and re-entry only
allowed in accordance with pesticide labeled directions.
2) Spaces that cannot be treated during working hours will be treated when vacant or only
with traps and baits where applicable.
3) Treatments to medical care facilities are limited to pesticides that are labeled for hospital
use and done so strictly by label directions.
4) Patient sensitive areas should only be treated when an active infestation is evident and
patients have been removed.
Before pesticides are applied in these areas, the cause(s)
for the infestation should be determined and non-chemical control measures given primary
consideration.
5) After the use of any pesticide, except contained insecticidal baits, in patient sensitive areas,
and prior to return of patients, all surfaces (walls, floors, furniture, etc.) must be cleaned to
remove any pesticide residues.
6) Pesticides except disinfectants and those used to treat pediculosis or scabies should only
be applied by knowledgeable vector control personnel.
7.4. Spill Prevention
1)
An appropriate pesticide spill kit will be kept at all pesticide storage facilities.
procedures will be posted.
Spill
In addition, spill kits will be kept on hand at all times while
pesticides are being mixed and applied.
2)
Pesticide spill prevention/reaction practices shall comply with Spill control/prevention
procedure (CHEC-C1006-HSEC-012).
7.5. Self Help
1)
Self-help programs are an important part of an IPM strategy.
They significantly
contribute to management efforts by providing “frontline” personal protective items and
educational materials to susceptible individuals as an integral part of a vector control plan.
In addition to the positive effect this creates for management of primary vectors, self help
programs assist in controlling nuisance pests by making available simple, safe, pest
control solutions directly to tenants and project personnel.
Self Help approaches for
nuisance pests should be provided when sanitation practices alone have failed to provide
control and prior to the need for professional pest management services. Successful
programs also satisfy housing occupants and site management by reducing pest
populations and pesticide usage.
2)
Self help items can be, but are not limited to; informative pamphlets, brochures, personal
insect repellents, bed nets, glue boards, rodent snap traps, fly ribbons/sticks/paper, etc.
See Appendix B for additional self help information.

8. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)/Integrated Vector
Management (IVM)
8.1. Defining IPM
IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests and controlling disease vectors by
combining applicable pest management tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and
environmental risks.
IPM uses regularly scheduled monitoring to determine when and if
treatments are needed and employs physical, mechanical, cultural, biological, genetic,
regulatory chemical and educational tactics to manage pest/vector populations to a point that
prevents unacceptable damages or impacts.
8.2. Components of IPM
1) Surveillance programs are critical to determine the size of the pest/vector population or to
monitor conditions that can lead to an infestation.
Post treatment surveys will determine
if treatments have been effective.
2) Sanitation plays a major role in control of nuisance and vector related pests (cockroaches,
ants, various flies, and rodents).
Poor sanitation in food service areas provides the
necessary resources to maintain pest populations.
The result will be ineffective
pest/vector control regardless of the pest/vector controller’s efforts.
Vector control
personnel will cooperate with HSE and management representatives to ensure proper
sanitation practices regarding pest/vector concerns where applicable.
3) Physical control methods destroy pests/vectors outright or make the environment
unsuitable for their entry, dispersal, survival, or reproduction.
These include water
management, exclusion, trapping, and vegetation mitigation.
4) Direct mechanical control involves removal of the removal of the pest.
For example,
specially designed vacuum cleaners are used in some instances to remove pests from
areas of infestation (i.e. dry food storage).
A benefit to this type of system is that pest
food sources are generally also removed.
5) Biological control is the use of insect disease pathogens to control specific pests/vectors.
Insect disease pathogens are considered pesticides but are extremely low in mammalian
toxicity which constitutes safer use to non-target organisms. (Example: insectivorous fish
to control mosquito larvae, nematodes used for termite control).
6) Chemical control is the use of formulated insecticides as part of an IPM program. IPM
programs include the minimal use of pesticides when necessary.
Pesticide applications
should target specific pest(s) through the choice of pesticide, application technique,
application area, and application time when possible and practical.
8.3. IPM Implementation per site


Directs actions and treatment plans in accordance with site specific details such as
vector/pest presence, disease reservoir presence, environmental, occupational, or
ecological variables.

Incorporates an Integrated Pest Management approach to all vector/pest management
efforts.

Attachment B: Self Help Items
Self Help programs should be initiated at each location. Typically, self help products are best
distributed via alignment with facility management services (service desk).
This eases
accessibility of products to tenants and creates and efficient single point to track product use.
Issuance of self help products should be “empty for new” where applicable and logged to
ensure efficient and proper use, to track pest trends, and assist with inventory record keeping.
Self Help products for the Simandou PMOF Stage 1 Project include:

Fly abatement adhesive traps (i.e. Catchmaster-Goldsticks®)

Rodent adhesive traps (i.e. Catchmaster® 72mb Glueboards)

DEET insect repellant spray, gel, or cream containing =/>30% DEET (i.e.
Insect Ecran®)

LLINs -Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (i.e. PermaNet 2.0 or 3.0)

Room mosquito atomizers and refills (i.e. Mosquito Go-Duo®, pyrethroid based
repellent)

Mosquito Coils (i.e. Gelert® Coils, pyrethroid based repellent)

Insecticide Aerosols (i.e. Cline Buckner CB80 Extra® or Whitmire PT565+XLO®,
pyrethrin based aerosols)
