discontinued.
The purpose of this section is to describe monitoring and control measures to prevent adverse
health effect due to cold stress. This section applies to work being performed outdoors when
ambient weather falls below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cold stress will be evaluated based on a standard wind chill table, as described in the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Safety and Health Requirements (EM 385-1-1), Section 06.J.
When ambient temperatures fall below 45 ®F, the environmental monitoring of temperature will be
performed twice each shift. When ambient temperatures fall below 30 °F, environmental monitoring
of temperatures will be performed every 4 hours. Air speed will be recorded at the same
frequencies as temperatures. The data will be used to evaluate risks based on the wind chill table
referenced above. Temperature readings and subsequent evaluations of data will be collected from
different work environments around the job site. These will include, by may not be limited to:
