ACME TRUCK PARTS EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Our firm has established these procedures in the event an emergency occurs such as a fire, earthquake, toxic spill or other situations which causes a threat to employees: • Evacuation: Employees who work in or who frequently visit company buildings, where the exits are not always clearly visible from inside the building, will be trained in our firm's evacuation procedures. Each department will have a map showing the escape routes. The map will be posted just inside the entrance of the department together with the Company's evacuation procedure. Employees should periodically review the evacuation procedures and escape routes for their work area. • Critical Operations: If we determine that employees must remain to operate critical operations, when an emergency occurs, written procedures must be followed. Copies of these procedures will be made available at the office. • Rescue and Medical Duties: Selected personnel are trained in our firm's rescue and medical procedures. Written copies of these procedures are available at the office. • Verifying Employee Safety: Each evacuation plan will specify a meeting area where employees will congregate following an evacuation. The highest-ranking employee present at an evacuation or an emergency site will take an attendance check of all employees at the affected facility. • Alarms: Each building or facility where employees work and where an evacuation may occur will have installed heat and smoke sensing alarms. Where alarms are not present, employees will use voice communications in case of an emergency. • Emergency Personnel: The Responsible Safety Officer and management personnel are responsible for the following types of emergencies: Fires, Earthquakes, Pesticides and Toxic Spills. • Fire Prevention: Our firm has developed a specific fire prevention plan for each of our firm's facilities. Each of the fire prevention plans will specify the potential ignition sources. The plans will also identify the types of fire protection equipment or systems which must be available at each of the facilities and the housekeeping rules for employees to follow in order to prevent fires. The Responsible Safety Officer is responsible for the maintenance and installation of all fire equipment or fire prevention systems in our firm. The Responsible Safety Officer is also responsible to assure that inspections of facilities occur to insure that all equipment and systems are present and are in good working order. The inspections will include an examination of the facilities for good housekeeping.
