These routes will be shown to all on- <br /> site personnel by the SSO. <br /> Visual contact will be maintained between "pairs" on site with the team remain- <br /> ing in close proximity in order to assist each other in case of emergencies. <br /> In the event that any member of the field crew experiences any adverse effects <br /> or symptom of exposure while on-site, the entire field crew should immediately <br /> halt work and act according to the instructions provided by the PSO. <br /> Wind indicators visible to all on-site personnel will be provided by the Project <br /> Manager to indicate possible routes for upwind escape. <br /> The discovery of any condition that would suggest the existence of a situation <br /> more hazardous than anticipated, should result in the evacuation of the field <br /> team and re-evaluation of the hazard and the level of protection iequired. <br /> In the event that an accident occurs, the PSO is to complete an Accident Report <br /> Form for submittal to the Project Manager, Client Project Coordinator, and <br /> WHF Environmental Consultant's office. <br />
