A copy of this form is provided in Appendix <br /> A. The investigation will be initiated as soon as emergency conditions are <br /> under control. The purpose of this investigation is not to attribute blame, <br /> but to determine the pertinent facts so that repeat or similar occurrences <br /> can be avoided. <br /> 7.1 PLANNING <br /> Prior to facility entrance, the TM/HSO shall plan emergency actions and <br /> discuss them with personnel conducting project work. Initial planning <br /> includes establishing the best means for evacuation from the area in case <br /> of a catastrophe. <br /> 7.2 EMERGENCY SERVICES <br /> A tested system must exist for rapid and clear distress communications, <br /> preferably voice, from all personnel to the TM/HSO. The TM/HSO shall <br /> ensure that all personnel working at the facility know how to <br /> communicate with the appropriate local emergency response units as well <br /> as provide adequate and clear directions between work locations and the <br /> locations of support personnel, prior to commencing any facility <br /> investigation or operations.
