WE <br />If an employee discovers an existing or potential emergency situation, the employee will <br />immediately notify the facility supervisor and/or the Emergency Coordinator. If the event <br />is a spreading fire, the employee may call the fire department directly. <br />If the situation is a minor event, the Emergency Coordinator will immediately implement <br />and coordinate appropriate response procedures. The description and location of emergency <br />equipment, such as fire extinguishing systems and spill control equipment, is listed in the <br />facility's Business Plan. <br />If the situation is a major event, the Emergency Coordinator will immediately contact the <br />System Operations Center. The Emergency Coordinator will implement appropriate <br />provisions of this Plan in order to minimize hazards to human health or the environment. <br />If Plan implementation is necessary, the Emergency Coordinator will: <br />• notify employees of the potential dangers via the public address system or two-way <br />radio system; <br />• initiate employee evacuations as appropriate; <br />• monitor evacuation measures; <br />• determine if an Emergency Responder should be notified by the SOC. At the scene, <br />responders will serve as advisors and a resource to the Emergency Coordinator; <br />• take all reasonable measures to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, <br />reoccur or spread to other areas. As necessary, processes will be halted and affected <br />areas will be isolated; <br />• evaluate the need for off-site assistance; <br />• request the SOC contact appropriate assistance agencies; <br />0 initiate and coordinate response efforts. <br />
