Air HomNehicle Horn Air horns will be carried by personnel entering any established Exclusion Zone and stationed in the Support Zone. If air horns fail or are lost, vehicle horns may be used as a substitute. Air horns will be the primary alarm system and used in the following manner: One long blast: Evacuate Exclusion Zone by nearest exit. Proceed to assembly area. Two short blasts: Localized problem. Avoid area, move to decontamination Reduction Zone for further instruction. Three short blasts: All clear, resume work. Telephones Telephones are used for routine communication and to notify offsite agencies of incidents and request assistance. Emergency telephone numbers are given in Table 6. When an event recognized as an emergency occurs, the alarm system will be used to notify personnel. As soon as the alarm system is activated, the SSO or FSSO will be notified. The SSO or FSSO will take into account the following information: Nature of emergency Wind direction Location of personnel Monitoring results Emergency equipment available Offsite population Based on this information, the SSO or FSSO will direct appropriate emergency action and agency notification. After the emergency has been controlled and the site is considered safe to re-enter, the SSO or FSSO will direct remedial action to restore the site to full operating condition. The SSO or FSSO will investigate the nature and cause of the incident so that work procedures can be modified to minimize the likelihood of the incident's recurrence. All incidents must be reported in a timely, appropriate manner. An incident is any unplanned event resulting in injury, damage, loss of assets, adverse publicity, or which requires notification of a regulatory agency, regardless of severity. All K/J personnel should report an incident to the SSO or FSSO. The SSO and FSSO will report to the project manager. Each incident will be investigated and a written report should be received by the project manager and the regional safety supervisor within five days of the incident. If work zones are established, the Exclusion Zone will have several emergency exits which will allow safe egress in multiple directions from any point onsite. The exit selection will be based on the emergency location, type of emergency, and wind direction. Upon hearing the evacuation signal or otherwise being notified of an evacuation, employees will immediately travel to the assembly area located at the decontamination station. 3!7/98 3:09 PM 9 952704.01 9:ljobsW52704.011h&splan.doc
