Universal precautions should also be taken when rendering first aid to avoid anycontamination.1) All blood samples and body fluids should be handled and treated as if they areinfectious.2) If blood is drawn, provisions for a thorough cleansing of the site must be followed.3) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn, including latex gloves, fluidshield mask and a disposable apron, (to protect from contact with blood and bodyfluids).4) Proper disposal methods for all contaminated materials should be enforced.2.4 Alcohol and DrugsThe use of alcohol and drugs increases the risk of accidents and injuries. Employeesmust be aware of country, client and contractor policies on drugs and alcohol. Illegaldrugs and unauthorized consumption of alcohol are not allowed on any crew, and theiruse is cause for dismissal.Most facilities and companies do not allow alcohol under any circumstances, such as oncrews with 24-hour operations or on board seismic vessels. It is the responsibility of theemployee to abide by the policy of the client, contractor and crew on which they areworking.Prescription and over-the-counter drugs may also impair performance. Consult yourphysician and/or label instructions as to any work-related risk. Advise your immediatesupervisor of any drugs being used so proper safety precautions can be taken. Theemployee has the responsibility to report the use of all prescription or non-prescriptiondrugs or medications prior to reporting to duty.2.5 Malaria1) Malaria, especially falciparum malaria, is a serious condition that is transmitted bymosquitoes.2) The best preventive measure is to eliminate being bitten by mosquitoes carryingmalaria.Page 18 of 136
3) Mosquitoes are most active after sunset and before sunrise. Wear clothing thatcovers as much of the body as possible, especially during these periods.4) Use mosquito netting at all openings to accommodation units. Use a suitable sprayor fogging machine just after sunset in living and sleeping quarters.5) Sleep inside a mosquito net.6) Use a repellent cream on exposed parts of the body and impregnate clothes withsuitable repellents.7) It is NOT recommended for preventive treatment to be administered to indigenousemployees as a routine, as it may compromise their natural immunity.8) Check with your Medical Department to determine the most appropriate malariaprophylaxis and insect repellent for your specific location.9) Caution - While “DEET” is the specified repellent for some areas, prolongedexposure may cause illness.2.5 Heat Stress2.5.1 Causal FactorsAge, weight, degree of physical fitness, degree of acclimatization, metabolism, use ofalcohol or drugs and a variety of medical conditions such as hypertension all affect aperson’s sensitivity to heat. However, even the type of clothing worn should beconsidered. Prior heat stress predisposes an individual to additional stress.It is difficult to predict just who will be affected and when, because individualsusceptibility varies. In addition, environmental factors include more than the ambient airtemperature. Radiant heat, air movement, conduction and relative humidity all affect anindividual’s response to heat.Workers should not be permitted to work when their deep body temperature exceeds38°C (100.4°F).2.5.2 Heat RashesHeat rashes are the most common problem in hot work environments. Prickly heat ismanifested as red papules and usually appears in areas where the clothing is restrictive.As sweating increases, these papules give rise to a prickly sensation. Prickly heatoccurs in skin that is persistently wetted by unevaporated sweat and heat rash papulesmay become infected if they are not treated. In most cases, heat rashes will disappearwhen the affected individual returns to a cool environment.2.5.3 Heat CrampsPerforming hard physical labor in a hot environment usually causes heat cramps. Thesecramps have been attributed to an electrolyte imbalance caused by sweating. It isimportant to understand that cramps can be caused by either too much or too little salt.Page 19 of 136
