10 TAB D: EMERGENCY WARNING SIGNALS 1. A system by which all workers can be alerted in the event of an emergency must be in place. A common device is a horn with a volume level sufficient to alert all workers of an emergency. In the event of an emergency, the horn should be sounded with three successive blasts. Workers should immediately leave the structure in a calm manner and report to the assembly area. 2. A follow-up system must be in place to notify any employees that may not be able to hear the warning signal due to work area noise. This may be accomplished by a phone-around system or other proven means. 3. A test of the system must be made to ensure that it is effective. This should be done in conjunction with an emergency evacuation practice drill. 4. All workers must receive training that explains the EAP system, including the signals and methods to be used during an emergency. Copies of this EAP will be distributed to CDF, Oroville City Fire and Rescue Station, EMS/Oroville Hospital, all the prime contractors, and the tribal council. An additional copy shall be placed in a RED mailbox at the entrance/exit to the project site. The wording, Emergency Action Plan should be conspicuously painted on the mailbox. If the mailbox is secured with a locking device, ALL first responders shall be provided with a key/combination to allow access to the EAP.

11 TAB E: EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF STRUCTURE 1. A plan must be in place and tested that will allow a rapid and safe evacuation of the structure by all personnel in the event of severe weather, fire or structural defects which may affect the safety of the structure itself. 2. In case of an emergency evacuation the primary assembly area (known as Area 1) shall be located in the compound surrounding the contractor office trailers. If wind conditions or other factors preclude the use of Area 1, the secondary assembly area shall be at the back of the main parking lot (known as Area 2). These locations are depicted on the site map attached behind Tab E. 3. In the event of an emergency, stop all work and secure your area. DO NOT remove any tools or equipment. 4. Depart rapidly by the nearest exit and ensure others in your area leave also. 5. Report to the assembly area. ALL workers shall be required to print their name and company on the sign-in log. Workers shall notify Able Thomas personnel of the last known location of any workers not accounted for. 6. Once you have departed the structure, DO NOT re-enter the building for any reason unless the all clear has been sounded or you are part of an emergency crew properly trained to assist in the emergency.

12 TAB F: INJURY OR ACCIDENT REPORTING AND RESPONSE. 1. All workers must be instructed on how to report an accident or injury and who to notify in case of an emergency. 2. All injuries or accidents must be reported to the Owner immediately. 3. All near misses must be reported to the Owner immediately. 4. An investigation into the nature or cause of all injuries, accidents or near misses must be accomplished before workers are allowed to return to work. This action will require a safety briefing of all affected personnel to prevent the same type of injury, accident or near miss from occurring again.

13 TAB G: FIRST AID RESPONSE 1. In the event of an injury to a worker, notify your supervisor immediately. 2. If qualified, administer first aid to the victim. 2. DO NOT attempt to move the victim unless there is an immediate danger that further injury may result. Then, and only then, move the victim only as far as necessary to remove the victim from the immediately danger. 3. If movement is necessary, extreme care must be taken to stabilize the victim s neck and back to prevent any further injury.

14 TAB H: FIRE RESPONSE AND NOTIFICATION 1. Sound an alarm immediately by shouting FIRE, FIRE, FIRE. 2. If practical, notify your supervisor immediately. 3. If the fire is in its early stages and you are able, fight the fire with available fire extinguishers in your immediate area. 4. If no fire extinguisher is readily available, LEAVE the area immediately. Do not leave to find an extinguisher on another floor and return to the fire. Your safety and your life are worth more than any damage a fire may do to the building or structure. 5. Follow your evacuation and assembly plan and leave the building. Notify all other personnel as you evacuate of the danger and ensure they depart with you.

15 TAB I: RETURNING TO WORK AFTER AN EMGERGENCY 1.
