Heat Illness Prevention Update
From 1991 through 2000, approximately 2,000 heat-related fatalities
occurred and about 25,000 heat-related illness occurred during the
same time
In order to reduce our exposure to a potential heat-related illness,
and comply with regulations, any employee who works outdoors
needs the following:
•
•
•
•
Written plans and training materials related to heat illness
Training on the signs, symptoms and risk factors for heat illness
Access to a shaded area
Access to drinking water (one quart per employee per hour)
Heat Illness Prevention Update
CCR/8-3395: Heat Illness Prevention in Outdoor Places of
Employment
The Cal/OSHA Standards Board has adopted recommended
revisions to the state heat illness prevention standard
The revisions include:
o
•
“Shade up” provisions when temperatures reach 85 F and “high-heat”
o
procedures at 95 F
•
Clarifies what constitutes a “shade break” and creates exemptions from
the shade-up for employers for whom it is not feasible to provide an
alternative
Heat Illness Prevention Update
o
SHADE UP provisions are required when the temperature exceeds 85 F
•
The employer shall have and maintain one or more areas with shade at all
times while employees are present
•
The amount of shade present shall be at least enough to accommodate 25%
of the employees on the shift at any time
•
Employees must be able to sit in a normal posture fully in the shade without
having to be in physical contact each other
•
The shade area shall be located as close as practicable to where employees
are working
Heat Illness Prevention Update
HIGH-HEAT procedures shall be implemented when the temperature
equals or exceeds 95oF and include the following:
•
Ensuring that effective communication by voice, or electronic means is
maintained at the work site to contact a supervisor when necessary
•
Reminding employees during the work shift to drink plenty of water
•
Close supervision of new employees by a supervisor or designee for the
first 14 days of employment
REMEMBER
Employees shall be allowed and encouraged to take a cool-down rest in shade for a
period of no less than five minutes at a time when they feel the need to do so
UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool
•
UC ANR faces a variety of risks ranging from natural disasters to
localized emergencies
•
By taking steps to manage risk, we can:
• Reduce our chances of loss
• Create greater stability
• Protect our resources
•
A University of California system-wide effort was launched to
increase “event-readiness,” this is UC Ready
UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool
Continuity planning is…
•
How to stay in business in the event of a disruption or disaster,
either localized or regional
•
Planning for the work that must continue, when the usual resources
(staff, facilities, etc.) are not available
•
Strategic planning to ensure an organization is prepared to continue
its mission-critical functions when an adverse event occurs
•
Different from Emergency or Disaster planning, in that it is used
once life and safety are secure and is used to help you to continue
or resume business operations
UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool
Through Continuity Planning we can
•
Identify the impact of potential losses
•
Formulate and implement viable recovery strategies
•
Develop recovery plans that ensure continuance of our critical
services and functions in the event of an emergency, disaster, or
disruption
•
Create a disaster-resistant and disaster-resilient institution, with
effective crisis and consequence management capability
UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool
UC Ready characteristics:
•
•
•
•
Online planning tool
Form-based with drop-down menus and fill-in-the-blanks
Built in step-by-step guidance
No need for prior experience is needed
UC Ready plans identify:
•
•
•
•
•
Critical Functions
Information and Strategies
Essential Personnel
Planning Strategies
Action Items
UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool
We will begin work in Jan. 2011 on plans for the CE locations
•
We will contact County Directors to provide information about this process
