I If an evacuation is advisable, the Emergency Coordinator must notify appropriate local authorities and be available to help determine the need for an evacuation. In case of immediate or major emergencies, telephone number 911 will serve as the first incident reporting number. While supervisors are responsible for removing personnel from the immediate hazard area, the Emergency Coordinator will implement facility evacuation. This will be done whenever the Emergency Coordinator judges that such an evacuation is necessary to protect human health. The evacuation will follow the procedures described below as closely as possible; however, the Emergency Coordinator may deviate from these procedures to provide a more effective plan for evacuating the area. • The Emergency Coordinator will activate alarm or notify key personnel via 2 -way radio to announce an area or facility evacuation. • Personnel are to stop all machinery and secure operations as appropriate and as time permits. • All personnel in the hazard area are to walk, not run to the nearest facility exit. Exit routes are posted in each shop. • Personnel are to report to rally points as designated by the Emergency Coordinator at the time of emergency. Designated rally points will be located at least 500 feet from the evacuated areas. • Foremen are to account for all department members. • Entry of unnecessary visitors, contractors, and employees will be prohibited during the evacuation period. • Safety equipped personnel will be assigned by the Emergency Coordinator to control access of hazard area. • When the facility incident has been resolved, the Emergency Coordinator will notify key personnel via 2 -way radio and request that an announcement be made. • Non -emergency personnel will not be allowed to re-enter the facility until the All Clear message has been announced.
