1 Evacuation Fire Safety Program Emergency Procedures Provisions must be made for prompt medical attention in case of serious injury. The location and phone number of emergency service providers will be posted in the office and provided to each supervisor. I. Purpose To establish a system for planning, and implementation of emergency procedures. II. III. Objectives A. To provide for the recognition, evaluation, and proper response in the event of an emergency situation. B. To provide minimum guidelines for employee involvement in emergency preparedness. Procedure A. Planning for Emergencies ICS will establish an emergency plan. The supervisor will be in charge of: 1. Supervising the development of plans and coordinating the planning with appropriate authorities. 2. Setting up cooperative emergency plans and arrangements with the customer s plans, if any. 3. Consulting with local police and fire department as applicable. 4. Putting the basic procedures in written form. 5. Keeping the plans simple and up-to-date. 6. Arranging for special training of employees as needed. 7. Instructing personnel in ICS in their responsibilities in case of fire or any emergency. B. General Emergency Procedure Guidelines The following procedures, when appropriate, can be established for any site as may be applicable or amended as necessary to meet their needs. 1. Notification The person first encountering the emergency condition should notify the telephone operator and give the location and description of the emergency. (See the Site Emergency Phone List.) Once the emergency has been verified, the evacuation process can begin by the sounding of the alarm designated for that purpose. 2. Fire Emergency, Explosion, or Chemical Spill If a fire is discovered or an explosion occurs, the supervisor must: a. Remove his/her people from the immediate area of the fire and evacuate to the predesignated safe area. b. Notify the telephone operator to sound the alarm (or call 911 as instructed), stating the location of the fire and what is burning or the actual emergency. Then notify the Site Emergency Coordinator of the emergency. Revised: December 2009 Page 1 of 6

2 c. Make a head count of employees at the assigned assembly area to ensure that all are accounted for. d. Return to the fire and attempt to extinguish it only if you have been trained to do so. e. Assign an employee to meet and direct the fire department to the location of the fire. f. Notify the Safety Officer immediately of any fire that involves personnel, equipment, or liability. If a chemical spill occurs, in addition to the above steps, make every effort to contain the spill to as small an area as possible without further endangerment to human health or the environment. 3. Earthquake Employee s Responsibilities a. During the earthquake: 1. Stay put until the supervisor tells you to return to your work area or evacuate to the pre-designated assembly area until the all clear is given. An initial shock usually lasts less than a minute, but other jolts may come soon after. 2. Above all, do not panic. Depending on the severity of the earthquake, the lights may fail or fire may break out. Expect the unexpected. 3. If the earthquake results in fire or injuries, following appropriate procedure for the specific problem. Supervisor s Responsibilities a. Inspect the site for any possible hazardous conditions, i.e., fires, electrical shorts, plumbing leaks, structural damage, etc. b. Determine casualties, provide any assistance possible, and review with the Safety Officer information and status to make notifications to the emergency services as needed. c. Notify the office, of your situation and status. d. Do not attempt to evacuation of the area unless ordered by the local fire or police department. 4. Emergency Coordinator s Responsibilities Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency at the corporate offices, the Office Manager or one of the alternates shall immediately: a. Notify all personnel and evacuate the buildings. b. Notify the fire department if their help might be needed. c. Make every reasonable effort to contain the fire or chemical spill to as small an area as possible, and keep incompatible chemicals separated without further endangerment to human health or the environment. d. Identify what caused the emergency (which chemical or fire), exact source, and amount of released material. e. Assess all possible hazards to human health or the environment, considering direct and indirect effects of the release, fire or explosion, such as toxic or irritating gases, water runoff from chemical agents used to control the emergency, etc. Revised: December 2009 Page 2 of 6

3 5. Emergency Contingency Plan If the emergency situation could threaten human health or the environment and assessment indicates evacuation of the local areas is advisable, contact the FIRE DEPARTMENT at 911 immediately and assist them however possible. Also notify your STATE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES (in CA, ). a. Report the following information: 1. Name and telephone number; 2. Company name and address; 3. Time and type of incident; 4. Name and quantity of materials; 5. Extent of injuries, if any; and 6. Possible hazards to others or the environment. b. When the emergency situation is under control, cleanup or neutralization can begin using appropriate tools, safety equipment, and outside services as necessary, depending on the type of emergency. All hazardous materials must be cleaned up, stored properly or hauled to an appropriate dump site for disposal. c. Before normal operations begin again, all tools, emergency equipment and devices listed on the Emergency Equipment List must be operational and ready for use. The COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT must also be notified. d. Within 15 days after an emergency that requires implementing the contingency plan, a written report must be completed and sent to the COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT and a copy will be kept for our files. The report must contain the following: 1. Owner s name, address, and telephone number; 2. Company name, address, and telephone number; 3. Date, time, and type of emergency; 4. Name and quantity of materials involved; 5. Extent of injuries, if any; 6. Assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, if applicable; and 7. Estimated quantity and disposition of waste resulting from the emergency situation. Fire Prevention and Emergency Preparedness Fire & Explosion Hazards There are three (3) elements necessary for a fire: 1. Fuel Combustible material, i.e., wall coverings, paper products, furniture, etc. Flammable liquids, i.e., paints, thinners, lacquers, gasoline, and others. 2. Heat Sufficient to raise the material to its ignition temperature. Primary causes can be cigarette smoking, electrical fires, grease fires, and fires caused by explosions. 3. Oxygen To sustain combustion. Oxygen is the one element that could be controlled by closing doors and isolating the fire as much as possible. Revised: December 2009 Page 3 of 6

4 Fire and Explosion Prevention Each supervisor will be responsible for the following fire prevention activities: 1. Make routine inspections of fire prevention and protection systems regularly and keep in good operating condition. 2. Review evacuation routes as applicable (i.e., job site vs. office) with employees on a regular basis for each work area. Follow the designated routes and know the pre-designated safe areas previously established. 3. Train key employees, if necessary, in the use of fire protection equipment (extinguishers, hose, etc.). 4. Be familiar with known hazards inside and outside any building which may affect your operations. 5. Coordinate with the public fire department on pre-fire plans, training and evacuation procedures, as they may apply. Fire Extinguishers & Equipment A. General Requirements 1. Portable fire extinguishers must be maintained in a fully charged and operable condition and kept in their designated places at all times when they are not being used. 2. Extinguishers must be conspicuously located where they will be readily accessible and immediately available for use. 3. The selection of fire extinguishers for a given situation will depend upon the characteristics of a potential fire, the construction and occupancy of the individual property, the vehicle or hazard to be protected, ambient-temperature conditions, and other factors. 4. The number of extinguishers required must be determined by reference to the layout criteria included in this manual. 5. Only UL or FM approved fire extinguishers are permitted. 6. Only employees, who have been trained in their proper use, are permitted to use fire extinguishers. B. Maintenance 1. At regular intervals, not less than annually or when specifically indicated by an inspection, extinguishers must be thoroughly examined and/or recharged or repaired to ensure operability and safety or replaced as needed. 2. Extinguishers removed from their locations to be recharged must be replaced by spare extinguishers during the period they are gone. 3. Each extinguisher must have a durable tag securely attached to show the maintenance or recharge date and the initial or signature of the person who performs this service. Flammable & Combustible Liquids & Materials 1. Flammable liquid containers must be clearly labeled and stored in a protected, separate area. 2. Flammable liquids must be used only in small quantities and in approved (UL or FM), self-closing containers. 3. Do not refuel a hot or running engine. Cleanup spills before restarting. 4. Never use gasoline as a cleaner or solvent. Anyone who may do so is subject to immediate discharge. Revised: December 2009 Page 4 of 6

5 5. Only use approved containers for the transportation of flammable liquids, especially gasoline. Scrap Receptacle Type, Location & Use This procedure outlines types, location and use of containers for trash, scrap metal and similar materials. A. Type B. Use 1. All receptacles must be constructed of metal or other suitable type containers of nonflammable materials. 2. Paper or pasteboard cartons, wooden boxes or crates, and similar type containers must not be used for collection of combustible materials. 3. Receptacles, located outside of buildings, for combustible trash must be located at least 15 0 from the building or combustible materials. 1. Employees must be instructed to use trash receptacles for the disposal of paper, lunch, remnants, and all small scraps of a combustible nature. 2. Cigarette and cigar butts, matches, etc., should never be thrown in trash receptacles. 3. Glass (broken, empty jars, etc.), scrap metal, and similar material should be placed in special trash containers or wrapped in paper before being placed in the trash. C. Specific Hazards 1. Smoking Smoking is permitted in designated areas only. Don t use ashtrays as waste paper receptacles or don t use waste paper receptacles as ashtrays. Even if you don t smoke, have an ashtray available for those visitors who do. This will remove the temptation to use the waste paper receptacle as an ashtray. Follow the customer s published smoking policy when visiting. 2. Electrical Make sure that all electrical cords are not frayed and that the connections with the receptacles and the machinery are intact. Do not overload wiring. If cords become warn, this is the first sign of a possible overload. 3. Housekeeping a. Don t allow excess paper or combustible products to pile up in the open, near equipment, or buildings. b. Don t allow materials or boxes to be placed in the way of exit travel. c. Keep material away from access to electrical panels. Earthquakes There is nothing to be done to prevent an earthquake. However, there are precautions that can be taken to lessen the devastating effects of an earthquake. A. Housekeeping 1. Ensure that cabinets are stable and anchored. Spread the material throughout the drawers evenly. Revised: December 2009 Page 5 of 6

6 2. Ensure that paper, books, etc., are not stacked on top of cabinets. 3. Ensure that boxes, electrical cords, etc., will not become tripping hazards in case the lights fail. B. Earthquake Preparedness Each supervisor will be responsible for the following activities: 1. Review emergency water supplies and drinking water for fire protection. 2. Provide a plan for shutdown of damaged power, gas, and flammable liquid supply lines which may affect your operations. C. Emergency Coordinator Responsibilities 1. Make a list of equipment that may be needed for rescue and salvage operations and its location inside and outside the facility when applicable. 2. Plan for emergency communications for the office and field operations. 3. Make provisions for additional medical supplies, food, water, and shelter, if needed. 4. Coordinate the emergency plan with those of local agencies and customers as they may apply. Revised: December 2009 Page 6 of 6
