5.2 Offsite CommunicationsThe project team will have the following off site means and methods of communication while on site and traveling thru the country: 5.2.1 Cell PhonesThe team will have a minimum of (1) cellular phone with international roaming. It has been determined through a previous trip that cell phone coverage does exist at the project site. The following numbers will be programmed into all cell phones when they are purchased:
The following directions are special dialing and operating instructions for the cell phones:
5.2.2 International SOSEWB-USA has contracted with International SOS, to provide 24-hour access to the latest health, safety and travel advice worldwide. Their informational website provides information about vaccinations, country safety, appropriate hospitals and the political stability within the country to which they are traveling. We strongly recommend that all EWB-USA members visit the ISOS website and research the country to which you will be traveling to. You may access the service provided by ISOS through their website www.internationalsos.com or by calling 215.942.8226. Please note that you will need EWB-USA’s membership number: 11BCPA000270. Additionally, ISOS provides support to EWB-USA members who face an emergency while traveling on an approved EWB-USA trip. If you are currently traveling abroad and need emergency assistance, contact ISOS immediately at 215.942.8226. You will need to provide them with the EWB-USA membership number 11BCPA000270. 5.2.3 EmailThe project team will have access to email thru the use of a computer at the Project FIAT guesthouse.

5.2.5 Fire ResponseLocal fire station in Lourdes 5.2.6 Police ResponseLocal police station in Lourdes 5.3 U.S. Check-In ContactThe US Check-In Contact is Rich Cainrcross. He will be contacted every other day via email or text message and given a personnel count. We are also maintaining a project blog on the chapter website (http://ewbelsalvador.wikispaces.com ) that we intend to update while on-site. If the team fails to make contact, and he is unable to reach the team via team cell phone or text message within 24 hours, he will contact the EWB-USA Emergency number. 6.0 PROTOCOLS6.1 Task By Task Health & Safety ProtocolsThe following health and safety considerations / practices (i.e., protocols) will be used during the implementation trip. The team will focus on accident prevention throughout the entire trip and Attachment I contains the detailed task hazard management strategies that will be employed to prevent injuries on each of these project-specific protocols. 01 Noise And Hearing ConservationThe team does not expect to encounter excessive noise and hearing conservation issues during the trip because we will not be working around heavy equipment or using power hand tools. 02 Inclement WeatherInclement weather exists in the form of hot humid weather and the potential for torrential rainfall. Wide brimmed hats, plenty of hydration, and light colored loose clothing are recommended for participants. The risk of heavy rainfall is increasing, beginning in May. Shelter is available in the nearby clinic and church. 03 Heat StressBottled water for the day will be obtained every morning at the guest house the group will be staying at. Lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing will be recommended. Sunburn affects a body's ability to cool itself and causes a loss of body fluids. It also causes pain and damages the skin. Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" on their labels) 30 minutes prior to going out are all recommended to combat heat stress and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. When working in the heat, monitor the condition of your co-workers and have someone do the same for you. Heat-induced illness can cause a person to become confused or lose consciousness. 04 Cold StressGiven the time of travel, the team does not expect to encounter a cold stress situation. 05 FootcareSturdy shoes or hikers will be required at all times. Socks made specifically for comfort and breathability will also be highly advised. 06 Confined SpaceA minimal confined space issue will exist during some stages of the tank construction. The team will use necessary precautions. 07 Hot WorkThe team will not be using torches, power hand tools, or chain saws so we do not expect to encounter any hot work situations. 08 Manual LiftingLifting is minimal as most of the lifting will be done by local labor. 09 Rough TerrainAll team members will be fit enough to traverse rough terrain and have appropriate footwear to do so. 10 HousekeepingAll team members will be expected to keep their personal spaces at the hotel free of clutter. Everyone will participate in grounds keeping of the site at the end of the day. 11 Structural HazardsStructural hazards are minimal. 12 Remote AreasDue to the remote nature of the site, everyone is required to travel in groups, if possible with a Spanish-speaking team member and with one of the team’s mobile phones. Everyone must inform the Project Manager before leaving the vicinity of the site. 13 Working Over/Near WaterWater will not be encountered while working near the existing water storage tanks. No direct contact with the water will be allowed. If water is encountered, waterproof boots will be worn at all times. 14 TrafficTravel to/from the airport located in San Salvador and the community of Las Delicias will be by car and driver provided by Project FIAT (the NGO). 15 Heavy Equipment OperationsHeavy equipment (excavators to dig trenches for the pipeline or foundations for the tank) will be operated by local contractors. 16 Fall ProtectionNot required 17 LaddersThere are existing metal ladders on existing tanks but the team members are unlikely to climb them. 18 Shoring and TrenchingThere will be excavations for the planned new tank foundation and the associated pipe. The anticipated depth of the buried pipe well is approximately 4’. 19 Hazardous Materials Use and StorageNone 20 DemolitionNone 21 Active and Abandoned Utilities and LandminesNone 22 Electrical SafetyThe team will wear gloves and isolated shoes while working on any electrical item (circuit breakers, measuring current and voltage of existing pumps). Work is minimal. 23 Hand and Power ToolsThe team is unlikely to use hand and power tools as moat of the labor will be done by the locals. All hand and power tools (if any) will be inspected daily for the proper safety devices (i.e., guards, lose blades, damaged cords, etc.) prior the tools use. Power tools may be used only by a local experienced worker. Likely hand tools include, wrenches, hand saw, hammer, file, screwdrivers, and pliers. Likely power tools include a drill with the possibility of an arc welder and acetylene torch (to weld the new pipe, if required; fittings/flanges are a preferred means of connecting the pipe). All personnel using these will have proper training in the inspection and use of these tools, including the use of gloves, safety glasses and any other PPE that would be appropriate. Freddy is a local certified welder. 24 Hand and Emergency SignalsThe team does not expect to use hand and emergency signals during the trip, but to be proactive we will perform a training session prior to travel, on the first day we are in the country, and necessary during the trip. Hand and emergency signals will be required when the ability to vocally communicate is lost may be necessary in the event of a storm, natural disaster, or security situation. 25 Lock Out Tag OutNot applicable. 26 Biological HazardsBiological hazards include water borne and food borne illnesses and parasitic infections. All food and water will be obtained from previously verified “safe” sources at the guesthouse and certain restaurants. Uncooked and “washed” food items such as salads and water with ice in it in restaurants should be avoided. Direct contact will be avoided at all times will any untreated water source including streams. The tap water at the guesthouse is treated and is safe for bathing and washing but direct ingestion should be avoided as the actual quality is unknown. Bottled water is readily available. Recommended vaccinations include yellow fever, typhoid, and hepatitis A. 27 Hazardous MaterialsNone 28 Clearing, Grubbing, and LoggingN/A 29 Falling Objects, Punctures, Abrasions, Dust, and NoiseNo open shoes, shorts, or sandals are allowed during the implementation trip. 30 SilicaN/A Directory: file -> view view -> Western Europe after wwii view -> Author study: paul fleischman view -> Qpa1 7ela study Guide view -> Arctic Oil/Gas Neg view -> November 1970 Approximately 150,000-500,000 deaths Bhola Cyclone Bangladesh view -> Grade Level: 6 Unit of Study: Caribbean glce view -> Citation: Duffield, Katy view -> Table of Contents Lesson # view -> Chinese Wind Energy Disad Download 497.15 Kb.
