2.4 FACILITY OPERATIONS CENTRE (FOC) Outside & opposite the main entrance gates is designated as FOC (Facility Operations Centre) for use by key personnel for co-ordinating the company's emergency response activities. A copy of the Emergency Plan is kept in the Front foyer of Unit 2 (Note: The Site Fire Alarm Panel is located in this area) A copy is also provided in an Emergency Control Box, near the front gate. Telephones are available. 2.5 ALTERNATIVE FACILITY OPERATIONS CENTRE (FOC) If the Facility Operations Centre is unavailable, a mobile unit with a mobile phone is set up from the Facility Emergency Controller s vehicle. Located in a safe area, upwind and 20-30 metres from the main gate. A copy of the Emergency Plan is to be kept in the Facility Emergency Controller s vehicle at all times. 2.6 ALARM INITIATION The Alarm initiation is AUTOMATIC, via sensor detection, there is no wired/manually activated Alarm facility within the Alarm panel. As an alert from a Manual perspective, a Gas Horn is made available upon witnessing an event, that would result in Harm to PEOPLE, PROPERTY or the ENVIRONMENT. The person who initiates the alarm shall notify the Facility Emergency Controller / Chief Warden when he/she arrives at the Facility Operations Centre (FOC / evacuation point), opposite main gate, stating: 1. What is the nature of the emergency 2. Where is the incident occurring 3. What immediate assistance is required, e.g. Spill response, first aid, ambulance, etc At the initial alarm activation, ALL EMPLOYEES/ VISITORS are to directly move to the FOC and report on their area s status and await directions by the CHIEF WARDEN as to confirmations required or evacuation procedures initiated. NOTE: Initial Actions Are Extremely Important. A small fire may readily be put out by IMMEDIATE action. If the same small fire is left for 2 minutes it can become a major blaze and consume the warehouse. It is the Chief Warden s responsible for coordinating initial local response actions, while at the same time ensuring that they or other staff are NOT PUT AT RISK. This is a judgement call, but at ALL times personal and other staff s safety outweighs property loss. Refer to SDS for any specific PPE requirements Page 6 of 11
