[Audio] Battery Energy Storage Systems are often referred to as BESS. Please take extra precautions when working on around BESS: Lithium-Ion Batteries – Avoid contact with any leaked electrolyte or gas. Leaked electrolyte and gas are flammable and corrosive/irritating to skin, eyes, and throat. No harmful chemical exposure should occur unless the battery units are subjected to mechanical, thermal, or electrical abuse. Do NOT short-circuit, puncture, crush, impact, immerse, or expose the battery units to temperatures outside their range. Do NOT touch the high-voltage locations on the battery racks or high-voltage cables. Only qualified personnel are permitted to work on this system. Do NOT install any module that has been or may have been mechanically compromised (dropped, deformed, impacted, cut, punctured, penetrated). Notify the Fire Department immediately if a fire is suspected, if venting gas or smoke is noticeable, if the heat system alarm sounds, or if the fire suppression system discharges..

[Audio] Origis utilizes multiple applications for weather alerts including weather bug, NOAA Radar Pro, and Storm Tracker. Each site finds what works best for the local environment. The Origis field team will review all possible weather situations with contractors when they arrive and ensure it is safe to proceed. Lightning strikes are monitored within a 30-mile radius around the site. If lightning strikes within 10 miles of the site, and moving toward the site, work will stop at 5 miles (stand-down) until weather has cleared the area. Origis Site Management will advise on stand downs & issue an "all clear" message when it is safe to resume working via communication listed below. The phone number that contractors provide upon check in will be the number that Origis personnel uses in "stand downs" or "all clear" notifications. Origis personnel can also provide walkie talkies to contractors for emergency notifications..

[Audio] Storms and severe weather are monitored closely by the Remote Operation Center ( ROC) as well as our Site Team utilizing appropriate weather applications. Origis utilizes multiple applications for weather alerts including weather bug, NOAA Radar Pro, Weather Sentry, and Storm Tracker. Each site finds what works best for the local environment. Origis field team and ROC review weather patterns over a course of several days, if there is any potential weather warnings, Origis Site Management will notify visitors and contractors to not come on-site. The Origis field team reviews all possible weather situations with contractors when they arrive and ensure it is safe to proceed. If a warning is issued, the Site Lead will initiate plant evacuation. Please refer to our Emergency Response Plan or Hurricane and Severe Storm Plan for further overview. Storms are unpredictable, if you find yourself with no shelter remember the safest place is by lying face down in the lowest spot possible such as a ditch or ravine. The phone number that contractors provide upon check in will be the number that Origis personnel uses in "stand downs" or "all clear" notifications. Origis personnel will also provide walkie talkies to contractors for emergency notifications..

[Audio] Beat the heat. Please ensure that you follow the protocols reference in the images to ensure that stay hydrated and safe on- site. If you are suffering any of the symptoms referenced, please seek medical attention and call 9- 1-1..

[Audio] Stay warm. Limiting exposure to cold is key in the prevention of cold stress. It is especially dangerous as temperatures lower and wind speed picks up. Here are some tips to mitigate cold whether symptoms: Avoid being outside during the coldest part of the day Dress in layers Wear a hat, scarf and gloves Wear waterproof, insulated boots Get out of wet clothes as soon a possible Stay hydrated..

[Audio] Be Aware of Wildlife On-Site Ticks: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC), the bloodsuckers are most active between April and October and peak in the summer. Wear long pants and long sleeves as weather permits., wear repellents that are EPA approved and check your body daily for ticks. Snakes: A few simple things can help prevent you from being bitten by a venomous snake. Be alert. Snakes are naturally camouflaged and blend into their surroundings. Watch where you place your hands and feet. Wear heavy leather work gloves and leather boots or snake/ brush chaps, depending upon your activity. Leave snakes alone and they will leave you alone. Snakes are just as afraid of humans as humans may be of snakes. If given a chance, they will move away from human activity. Snakes are not naturally aggressive and will not " attack" unsuspecting humans. They will defend themselves by biting only if they are cornered or feel threatened..
