APP Well Installation and Sampling at California National Guard Field Maintenance Shop Stockton, California 8.0 ACCIDENT REPORTING It is the intent of the OTIE Accident and Crisis Management Program to ensure that each and every employee has a safe and healthful work environment and the knowledge to properly and safely perform his/her work. Besides company employees, the program covers all other workers (temporary, part-time and subcontractor) that OTIE controls, directs or supervises on the job, to the extent these workers are exposed to specific work site and job assignment hazards. If air sampling and monitoring is required, the SSHO will make sampling and monitoring results available to the site personnel. Results from personnel monitoring will be provided to affected personnel. The FTL will track exposure date (man-hours worked) on the project daily and document them in the Daily Production Reports. Damage to vehicles and property other than ordinary wear, tear and operating breakage that involves OTIE employees and equipment constitutes an accident and shall be reported promptly to the employee's supervisor. Accidents and injuries will be investigated immediately by supervisory personnel and results reported on a standard company form (found in Appendix H). In the case of a 'near miss' accident or injury, a "Near Miss Occurrence Report" shall be completed by the employee witnessing the incident. Copies of all completed forms should be forwarded to the SHM, the PM, the RPM or alternative Base representative. The SSHO will prepare any required accident/incident reports with assistance from the persons directly involved. As per EM 385-1-1, report all accidents as soon as possible but not more than 24 hours afterwards to the CO/COR. OTIE shall thoroughly investigate the accident and submit the findings of the investigation along with appropriate corrective actions to the CO/COR in the prescribed format as soon as possible but no later than five working days following the accident. Corrective actions will be implemented as soon as reasonably possible. Contractors are responsible for notifying OSHA when one or more of their employees are seriously injured. As per EM 385-1-1 immediate accident notification is required if the following occur. a. Fatal injury, b. Permanent totally disabling injury, c. Permanent partial disabling injury, d. Three or more persons admitted to a hospital as a result of a single occurrence, or e. Property damage in an amount of$200,000 or more. Employees shall immediately report all injuries or illnesses sustained in the course of employment to the project PM and the OTIE SHM. If an employee goes to a medical facility under emergency conditions, the SSHO will call the SHM and report the accident. When an employee goes to a medical facility, he/she will inform the medical facility that it is a Workers' Compensation case. In turn the RPM and ROICC representative will immediately be notified by the project PM. The SSHO is responsible for completing the CSIR and the internal OTIE accident reports. The CSIR will be submitted to the client and the OTIE reports will be submitted to the SHM. After being released from the medical facility, an injured employee will bring into the office (if possible) any medical instructions from the medical facility. If an employee is unable to return to the office and is instructed to go directly home, he/she must call the SHM, at which point an accident report will be taken over the phone. If an employee is given "work restrictions" from a OTIE 18
